Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 235



Chapter 235

As Arthur was suffering, his consciousness wasn’t as silent as it usually is . The clustered chains that were trapping the Earth Spirit started crackling and twirling, trying to seal whatever was inside and force it to quiet down .

The Death Seals Arthur cast on the Earth Spirit began breaking one by one at an incredible speed, as if they were unable to lock the ever-so increasing power of the entity inside .

The large earth knight moved at last after being sealed here for what seemed like an eternity for him . His body started moving, grabbing the chains around his body and pulling them with great force .

At first, they were as immovable and heavy as mountains yet after a few tries, they finally moved . It took great effort to physically move them so the Earth Spirit shot a yellow symbol from his eyes . The symbol had the word ’Break’ it struck the clustered chains and shattered countless of them but this was still futile since every broken chain will cause two more to take its place .

’Hmpf!’

This continued for a long time until the knight finally managed to completely free one of its arms . From the huge cluster of black chains, there was a long arm that stretched out of them, belonging to the spirit .

A rusty-looking bronze sword appeared in the hand, the knight was content that the first step worked . Surprisingly, he didn’t use the blade to strike the chains binding him, instead, he fiercely waved the bronze sword at Arthur’s soul, precisely at the thick chains surrounding it .

A misty yellow fog flew at the big blob of light, trying to cut the main chains, the root of what was sealing the Earth Spirit .

Unfortunately for him, once the misty fog approached the chains, the first thing to act was the strange cube that was rotating above the soul .

The ARK appeared in front of the mist, the cube increased in size and transformed into a half-open sphere that trapped all the misty fog, leaving nothing outside, then as if nothing occurred, it returned to its original position, slowly rotating .

The Earth Spirit had already seen the strange cube and the orb but he didn’t think much of them . He thought they were some precious soul-protecting artifacts but those won’t work if the assailants are residing the target’s soul already, just like him .

The turn of events surprised the spirit and irritated, he swung the sword again, sending a denser yellow fog, however, the results were exactly the same . The cube would turn into a sphere that surrounds the fog and trap it inside then it will shrink to its normal appearance .

The Spirit could feel nothing from the cube, no form of energy or danger, it wasn’t hostile against him and merely protected Arthur’s soul .

Since attacking the main chains didn’t work, the earth spirit shifted his focus back to the ones trapping him, he slashed the sword at the chains cutting countless of them and shattering numerous Death Seals but it still wasn’t working as those cut would be instantaneously replaced .

"Damnable chains! You won’t be able to stop me from escaping!"

The freed arm of the Spirit let go of the bronze sword, which dispersed into a yellow light and vanished, then the hand opened into a palm emanating a crazy amount of yellow light .

The starry sky of the consciousness was wholly illuminated by this light, even Arthur’s soul, which was the main source of light in this place, was negligible in comparison to the bright light being emitted by the Spirit’s palm .

With Arthur’s current state, his connection with his consciousness was almost cut off so he wasn’t able to feel what’s happening right now . This is what motivated the Earth Spirit to act as it is a golden opportunity .

If he were in his peak state, Arthur would be able to enter his consciousness and easily seal the freed arm back, however, the reality was different and the situation was dire .

If the Spirit were to escape and roam free inside his consciousness, the consequences would be fatal and he would be killed easily, especially when he’s this weakened already .

’Spear of Terros!’

A spear made out of dirt and rocks appeared, it didn’t look powerful but its sheer size was mind-numbing .

It was more than ten times the size of the spirit, who originally has a frame way bigger than normal humans .

The spear’s sharp point was directed at the clustered chains, the bright palm was clenched into a fist, causing the humongous spear to strike the chains .

Once struck, the chains vibrated and crackled loudly but after a few moments, they were unable to hold any longer and shattered, creating a large hole enough for the Earth Knight to get out . He still had few chains around his body but they were few and far between and weren’t enough to immobilize him, as far the Death Seals, they have long since been shattered, all of them .

Delighted that he was finally out, the Earth Spirit stretched his other hand and was about to get out when a thin and long white chain made out of pure light penetrated his abdomen, pushing him back into that hole and nailing him with the other chains .

The white chains disappeared right after but the damage it had done to the knight was by no means small . Obviously, the Earth Spirit was shocked by this, he looked up to the source of the white chain only to see a bright figure .

With a golden sheath on his waist, a majestic silver armor that suited his role as a knight and a helmet protecting his head, it was none other than Curtis, the knight that had his soul merged with Arthur’s .

"Who are you! You do not belong here!"

Curtis looked at the angry Earth Spirit with calm eyes, he unsheathed his sword and said

"Earth Spirit, I have always respected your Race . However, it’s a real shame to see a Spirit trespassing in someone else’s consciousness, trying to engulf it... what happened to the Spirit Race to stoop so low and resort to such means... *sigh*"

The Earth Spirit was momentarily startled but he soon calmed down and gazed at Curtis with cautiousness . Hearing talk sympathetically, he snorted and retorted

"Hmpf! What do you know about us to run your mouth like that!"

"I know many things . For example, how to extinguish your root and erase you from existence . "

Once he heard that, the Spirit started laughing loudly, as if he heard the biggest joke in his life

"Hahahaha this is th-"

Before he could finish, Curtis spat a mantra that floated in front of him . It flashed with five colors and was something incomprehensible, only understandable by the one who spat it and the Spirit, who stared at it, totally flabbergasted .

"Y-you... who exactly are you!"

"My identity doesn’t matter . This area is my domain and I’m its guardian, you better be obedient and not cause a ruckus . "

Curtis sheathed his sword and vanished, leaving the Earth Spirit fearful and dumbfounded . The only thing that snapped him out of his daze are the last words of Curtis

"Remember well, I have more than one way to finish you . This is Arthur’s consciousness and not your playground, Earth Spirit . "

The Spirit remained silent for a long while before he obediently went back to the hole were the clustered chains were repairing themselves and wrapping around him, sealing him inside yet again...

"Damnable chains! You won’t be able to stop me from escaping!"

The freed arm of the Spirit let go of the bronze sword, which dispersed into a yellow light and vanished, then the hand opened into a palm emanating a crazy amount of yellow light .
