Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 226



Chapter 226

The golden light emanating from the figure dimmed by a lot after having deflected the orange arrow, it clearly took a huge toll on the old man as he coughed some blood . He relied on the golden figure to act right now, it’s practically impossible to fight along with it as it’s not a Sovereign is possible to do .

Just activating the technique required Blood Essence and a high mastery of these arts, any person under the Sovereign Realm would certainly be unable to achieve what he did .

Arthur’s control over the arrow was lost which is why it ended up exploding deep underground . He probably has at most one minute before he must leave the wolf’s body, any more than that would be fatal to him and it will even cause him to lose the wolf’s body, which is a valuable vessel .

A grey beam flew across the sky, heavily crashing at the golden figure, shaking it violently and forcing it to stagger back . Arthur made use of this to teleport near the weakened old man and opened his mouth, spitting a large detonator .

Unfortunately for him, the golden figure teleported just like him, appearing between him and the old man, it used its hands to hold the detonator, which exploded the moment it contacts with the hands . No sounds were heard, the explosion was safely avoided inside the golden hands, however, this wasn’t the only assault Arthur had launched .

The space distorted and a lock sound was heard as a huge part of the space disappeared, taking the golden figure along with it .

[Spacial Banishment] was another technique of the deceased Spatial Master, it is difficult to use and it needs an immobile target, Arthur knew that the golden figure will protect its master and it wouldn’t budge so he used this as an advantage .

With the golden figure gone for a bit of time, Arthur wasted no time in relentlessly attacking the old man, trying to finish the fight as fast as possible .

Although the golden figure was out of the battle, the illusory hands were still defending the old man, they were unharmed after all that happened and they were powerful enough to injure someone like Arthur .

The silver wolf charged at its target while slashing the air, sending a wave of dark red flames flying at the old man, ready to scorch him .

In response, the old man used the same palm technique to cut the wave of flames, however, he wasn’t able to stop the melee attacks of Arthur .

The pointy teeth of the wolf bit down on the old man’s shoulder, penetrating deep into his flesh and even injuring the bones .

While he was at it, Leiu injected all kinds of poisons he could use, hoping it would cause some kind of negative effect, at least .

The old man cried painfully due to the agonizing injury he received from Arthur . The silver wolf didn’t let go of him no matter how much he shook his body, even the two illusory hands grabbed a part of the wolf, trying to pull him but to no avail, they weren’t powerful enough to shake him .

Natural Lightning flowed from the sharp teeth to the wound, invading the old man’s body and attacking his bones, heart, and Dantian, aiming for a fatal blow .

Suddenly, a golden fist out of thin air, landing on the wolf’s body and sending him flying away . It was the golden figure which got out of its banishment after the time elapsed .

Arthur didn’t give up just yet, [Spatial Passage] was deactivated, unleashing the Mini Heavenly Arrow that was hidden in it . The Arrow was conjured from pure Dark Magic, making it very lethal against the old man .

The arrow was rapid and its appearance was abrupt, making it perfect for such a sneak attack . The old man had breathed a sigh of relief when got rid of the clingy wolf, his guard dropped slightly when the golden figure came back, boosting his confidence once more .

What he didn’t expect was a small yet nimble dark arrow that slipped through the golden figure’s defense, it hit the left side of the chest and caused the Sovereign to cough mouthful after mouthful of black blood .

Dark Magic was like poison to him, who used Holy Magic, if his body isn’t purified in time and this magic lingers in his body, he would die sooner or later .

He focused all his attention on ejecting the Dark Magic out, however, it was too potent and the quantity was too big despite the negligible size of the arrow .

Panic started showing on the Sovereign’s face, with no choice but to use his last trump card, he lifted his shaky hand toward the golden figure, which understood its master intention .

The golden figure was no more as the long scepter appeared in the old man’s hand again, he held it vertically and took a dignified pose despite the agonizing pain, he pushed his chest back and strengthened his back then said

"Holy Arts, Seventh Chapter; Clarity of Vulnerability, Great River of Healing!"

A light brighter than the sun’s enveloped the old man, forcing Arthur and all the spectators to close their eyes .

After a few seconds passed, the old man appeared again, brimming with vitality as his body looked healthy, devoid of any injuries . His robe was restored and his aura was strengthened, apparently, his power increased by two if not three times .

Arthur looked at this scene with astonishment, he didn’t think that the old man would be able to heal himself back to full just like that, even for a Sovereign, such a feat is not possible without a miraculous artifact .

Looking at the old man, he saw that the long scepter disappeared, so he concluded that it must have been its doing .

Arthur’s speculations were right, the old man had sacrificed his weapon to activate the 7th chapter of the Holy Arts, this healed him back to peak state and doubled his original strength . With the situation reversed, the old man looked at the silver wolf and mockingly said

"Still want to fight?"

Seeing the immobile beast and hearing nothing but silence, the old man frowned but just as he was going to speak again, he saw the wolf transform into a grey-haired man with strange grey eyes .

Arthur looked back at the city, which suffered a bit of damage due to the fight but no major destruction could be seen, it must’ve been thanks to Amidel, who deflected all the collateral damage resulting from their fierce fight .

After checking the state of the city, he looked at the clear sky and the passing white clouds in a daze, his mind was lost in thoughts as he reminisced about the joyful memories he has with Lucy .

’I guess it’s time . ’

A minute of silence passed swiftly, the old man could no longer bear it and used the illusory hands to attack Arthur, still not daring to underestimate his enemy after all that happened .

Arthur retrieved a dark shield and used it to block the incoming big fist, which only managed to push him away yet do not apparent damage . The second fist came from behind but barely missed as Arthur teleported a distance away but that was predicted too as a spear of light flew straight at him, intending to nail him on the ground .

With the Dark Barrier activated, coupled with the shield he retrieved, it barely managed to stop the spear for a second before it penetrated the shield, creating a large hole in it .

Fortunately, the spear’s power weakened after it penetrated the shield, nonetheless, it did hit its target, passing through Arthur’s abdomen and causing blood to gush out from this grievous wound .

Seeing that Arthur was extremely weak and feeling the immense power surging in him, the old man grinned and floated toward Arthur, who was vomiting a large amount of blood, he looked on the verge of death .

A bit below the old man, approximatively fifty or so meters, a small black dot was floating there, pulsating with strange ominous light that was barely noticeable... .
