Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 208



Chapter 208

As her hesitation grew and her eyes diverted to and from the red-haired youth, who was just standing a few meters away from her without doing anything, Emily finally reached the end of her patience and was about to help her brother when the latter, who just barely dodged the mantis hooks, shouted at the red-haired youth

"Friend! Could you please take my sister and go away, I can’t deal with this God beast and protect her at the same time . "

Kithel knew that his sister’s real strength should never be exposed so he opted for the safest decision . Although he got injured by the Mantis, it wasn’t fatal and he had enough confidence to escape, it’s just that he didn’t want strangers to see his real trump cards .

The red-haired youth remained silent with an expressionless face as he watched Kithel battle against the raging mantis, which was becoming more and more furious .

Helpless, Kithel could only plead with the stranger against hoping he would listen to him . Although he rarely showed himself, he held some fame and was known to be social and unlike arrogant young masters who always flaunt their skills .

"Friend, help me and my Kang family will owe you a favor . "

This time, however, the red-haired youth didn’t remain silent, instead, he showed a charming smile and performed a low bow as if showing his sincerity whilst politely replying

"Thou are wise, ’boya’ . A favor is what a man needs . "

As he said that, the youth stretched his slender white hand and clutched it into a fist, alarming both Emily and her brother, who backed away from the Mantis as he felt a dangerous aura materializing around it .

It happened instantly as a red mist appeared around the raging mantis, confusing its sense of direction and trapping it inside . A few seconds passed and the painful roars of the beast could be heard . After a few more seconds passed, there was only silence, the fog vanished just like it appeared and what laid there was the lifeless corpse of the mantis . It had no injuries whatsoever, which further astonished Kithel, this led him to be warier of the red-haired youth as he started regretting his actions . He didn’t even know how the beast was killed, moreover, he was killed in a few seconds, so it’s obvious that the youth is a God .

Despite his rampaging thoughts, Kithel kept a calm expression and showed a grateful smile to the stranger after ’checking’ the safety of his sister . Emily was equally surprised yet no cautious, in fact, she was curious as it is the first time for her to venture out of the city without special guards and only with her brother . She had to conceal her real strength and always wanted someone equal to become friends with and such a person did indeed appear, although he was a bit eccentric .

"Nee nee who are you? Where did you come from?"

The girl started bombarding him with nonstopping questions, which he obviously didn’t answer . Kithel had to forcefully stop her and drag her away, he then turned to look back at the youth, who didn’t move a single step and added

"Thanks for your help . My Kang family owes you a favor, whatever you need, you can come to ask us . "

With that said, he elegantly bowed to the red-haired youth and dragged his sister away from this area as the other God beasts would come here to harvest what needs to be harvested . Of course, he didn’t forget to bring the available eggs of the mantis .

The duo didn’t travel far away before they detected a presence following them . This time, the red-haired youth didn’t hide his presence and openly followed them, not caring about anything . Kithel was first suspicious but upon thorough thinking, he just concluded that ’he’ must be heading to the center of the tomb, just like them .

. . . .

Some time passed and after the unceasing nagging of his little sister, Kithel paused on his tracks and was more or less forced to confront the red-haired youth, who he felt uncomfortable around for some unknown reason .

"Friend, how about we travel together, it’s safer that way . "

With nothing to say but that, Kithel politely invited the youth to join them albeit his unwillingness . Emily, on the other hand, was pretty excited about this matter, she wanted to befriend the strong youth as his type of power are new even to a genius like herself .

The youth also halted and remained silent for a bit of time as if he didn’t hear Kithel, after what seemed to be a bitter eternity to Kithel, the stranger nodded in response without uttering any word .

Upon seeing that, Emily unhesitantly darted towards him, asking random questions left and right, which he didn’t answer, obviously . . . . .

Like that, their travel continued, it was safer for Kithel and his sister since, like this, she doesn’t need to show her real strength to get rid of the surfacing God Beasts . All the hindrance they met on the road were easily killed by the red-haired youth . It was always the same method, the same red fog, and the same painful wails .

No existence of injuries, soul attacks or poisoning which added to the wariness Kithel was feeling towards this mysterious stranger . He even started thinking that it may be an assassin, but if he were an assassin, there was no need to expose himself, he would’ve been able to finish them if he attacked at the right moment .

Maybe it was a spy, but that was rather far-fetched too, it is quite funny that Kithel is pondering a lot about the motives of the red-haired youth when his real attention is really befriending them, although his approach or communication skills are worse than Arthur’s .
