Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 244



Chapter 244

"Blood red eyes, is he a royal vampire, dad?"

When the two of them left, Emily started questioning her father, curious about the strange color of Arthur’s eyes .

"Although a royal vampire is strong, he’s not this absurdly powerful to fight with a Sovereign while he’s at the Divine Realm . "

Kithel sat there, dazed, still unable to believe what just happened . Only after a long while did he silently leave the dining room, leaving his sister and father alone .

"Then what is he? I’ve never read a Race which has such strange eyes... especially the gray pupils . "

Amidel shook his head and added:

"He may be doing it on purpose to mislead us, trying to find out his true Race is impossible . However, we know where his true home is... an abandoned small-world cast out in the corner of the Universe . I was surprised to hear about its existence but from my sources, I came to know that there is an interesting tree existing there, maybe I should give it a visit . "

"We should focus on the catastrophe, dad . "

Amidel stood up and walked to his daughter as he looked at her with pride . He patted her head and said

"You’re right, even I, am not sure if I could beat him outside of the city . We should put more priority on the catastrophe, if what he said is true, then we should fully prepare ourselves because it’s not going to be an easy fight . "

"Why don’t we call for help from outside?"

Amidel burst out in laughter when he heard his daughter’s words, he rubbed her head, messing her hair in the process and replied

"What help? This is a wasteland, no one cares about this place, they only come here once in a while to check on things . "

The girl sighed and remained silent, knowing that her father’s words were true . She is expected to be the head of the family, however, she lacks a lot of experience which is why her father let her join important family meetings .

...

"In this life, you can only care about your family . The rest is not your business, their life and death are irrelevant to you . "

As they were heading to the Pigolo territory, Arthur murmured that out of the blue, which left Swain confused .

"Master, each person has their own rules to follow . Some care about others more themselves, they would sacrifice their lovers to save thousands of innocent lives . "

Arthur chuckled and retorted

"Well, if you ask me... these people are straight out idiots . What humanitarian services, what honor or justice, none of that matters if you’re going to end up alone . Those crowds that cheer for you are not admiring you but your powers, your actions, they would do the same thing if it was another person who acted the same way you did whereas, a person who’s important you will follow you till the end, whether your strong or not . "

Arthur halted mid-air and stared at Swain dead in the eyes while seriously saying

"I dare you to look at me and say that you’ve never had someone important in your life . I dare you to say that you forgot about that person, I dare you to say that you’ll not sacrifice anything and anyone to get that person back!"

Swain looked at Arthur and didn’t utter a single word, he couldn’t deny Arthur’s words so all he could do was keep his mouth shut .

"I’m fully aware that you are not just a fusion of some golem and a book, I do not know the full backstory, but no one magic or fusion could create a living being with real feelings, it’s not something that can be created but born with . "

Arthur ended the conversation with that last sentence and proceeded in his journey along with the silent Swain . They were heading to the teleportation array situated in the Pigolo’s territory so they can go back to Astria . Arthur had no more important business here and he urgently needs to go back to check on how things have been there and make sure if the catastrophe signs were heard there too or not .

After traveling for a while, Arthur possessed the Colonel’s body when they entered the enemy’s territory . Swain ended his fusion and hid on Arthur’s waist, as a book, the golem was stored inside it .

Their path wasn’t obstructed by anyone and they smoothly teleported to Astria using the device he had gotten from Gutcha a long time ago .

Their destination was the dark and gloomy cave under the imperial city of the demons . Arthur looked around only to see the familiar wall of plants that he created as a protection, it was pretty effective and its vines were alive and poisonous, however, compared to the wall he created around his sect’s territory, this one is considerably weaker .

Arthur didn’t linger there and headed directly to the castle of the Demon Lord . He needed to talk with her about many matters, one of them being the incoming disaster .

He hoped that the signs weren’t heard and Astria is spared from the invasion, however, that was rather unlikely since this world was also attacked ten thousand years ago .

He didn’t want to waste time and bother with the guards, who most likely do not know his true identity, so he bypassed them and spread his sense, searching for Taliya’s little sister, the Demon Lord .

It was currently midday, so the Demon Lord was peacefully eating with her family, unfortunately, the calm atmosphere around the table was broken when a grey-haired man appeared out of nowhere, freaking out the guards stationed not far away .

Even the prince was surprised to the point of falling out his chair, hurting his butt . Only the princess remained calm as she recognized Arthur with just a glance .

Alina was sitting next to Lucas, the youth who she met on the Green-Leaf World . They became quite close despite him being too hot-headed and overprotective .

"If it isn’t Sir Arthur . "

The first one to talk was the Demon Lord, she sized up Arthur and felt that he was much stronger but as usual, she couldn’t see through him and knew that she too weak to be able to fathom his strength .

"I see that you’re not very anxious, I take it the situation isn’t that dangerous?"

Arthur was confused when he first saw them eating peacefully while joking as if nothing is going to happen, but that was rather unlikely, they must be following a custom or simple at ease, not paying too much attention to the signs .

The guards raised their spears and were going to attack but before the Demon Lord could signal them to stop, Arthur waved his hand, teleporting himself, the Demon Lord, Alina, and Lucas to a secret room .

The very same room he met Taylia and the real Demon Lord in, the big sister of the lord wasn’t here so he guessed that she must be staying in his sect, along with Anastassia and Jackob .

With his new Spatial Mastery, Arthur is able to perform teleportation similar to [Faster Than Death] but a bit slower . Its range is bigger than [Faster Than Death] and he could teleport more than one person with him .

The only downside to this trick is that it’s only useful in lower-Realms, such as Astria, as there is not a strong restriction on his power .

For example, his overall prowess in a Medium-Ream is weakened by 20% if not more, however, that doesn’t only affect him but everyone else too .

This is why people coming from a higher-Realm are always stronger than the one in here, despite being at the same cultivation Realm .

The range of this teleportation is short in the Green-leaf World, but on Astria, he could teleport large distances . He was even able to build teleportation arrays, which he’ll certainly do . He needs to be able to travel between the continents faster than just flying from one point to another .

It usually doesn’t take a lot of time but a trip of one second is much shorter than a trip of two hours .

"Is Sir Arthur done with his business on the other world?"

The silver-haired woman stared at Arthur, trying to read his expression but the latter was literally expressionless, not even smiling .

"No, more urgent matters occurred and I think someone of your status and power exactly knows what I’m talking about . "
