Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 302



Chapter 302

"I remember six of them, their faces are engraved in my mind . As for those acting behind the shadows, I’ll be able to find them too, when I finish them all then it’ll be her turn . I want her to feel cornered, helpless and betrayed, a revenge is never sweet if it isn’t done the right way . "

Although he was talking about those who tortured him and caused him to love a life worse than even a lab rat, Arthur’s voice was relaxed and his expression was calm .

It’s like he was stating a fact and not speaking of what’ll happen in the future . Lucy nodded her head in confirmation, no matter how he wants to pay back his debts, she’ll forever support him . She even found some of the culprits and have a firm lock on Claudia, who is clueless about their relationship .

In fact, Claudia would never expect Arthur to be alive, from her perspective, he died on that fateful day and he had been ’properly’ buried while she took control of his companies and wealth .

The couple talked for a bit more as Arthur wanted to know about some people from the past . Who lived and who died, who are the people in charge and what is exactly the IHO .

All in all, he came to know a few things but they weren’t crucial or threatening to him . Even the so-called IHO or the ’preaching monks’ of the East that Lucy mentioned weren’t particularly powerful .

Surprisingly, there’s an old monk living in China who managed to train with Qi before the Earth changed and when the dungeons appeared and the environment had a drastic change, this elder managed to benefit greatly and reached Spirit Realm .

Apart from him, there were no earthling who is strong, they’re all at the Mortal Realm .

"That isn’t right, ’X’ should have someone monitoring the place . "

The copy, who kept his silence for a long time now, finally talked when Lucy mentioned the lack of any mysterious individuals .

’He shouldn’t necessarily be hiding on Earth, he could be roaming the space, just like that guy Snory . ’-Arthur

"No, ’X’ isn’t a person who does thing half-heartedly, neither are his subordinates . Whoever was sent here can definitely hide and most likely knows about Lucy and co, he or her probably never acted due to Snory, who wouldn’t permit a battle of Gods or Sovereigns occurring on Earth . "

’Then what about Snory, who do you think he is? How about his Strength?’

Due to the silence of his copy and him being preoccupied, he couldn’t ask his copy about this mysterious old man who is always sleeping on the moon . From the way Lucy talked about him, he’s insanely strong to the point that even in with her current power, she had zero confidence in defeating him, let alone kill him . Fortunately, Snory is friendly and isn’t the type to run around killing people .

"I’m not sure but he’s probably ’Sloth’, one of the Seven Deadly Sins . "

’They actually exist?’

"Of course they do . They originated from the Heaven and Hell Universe and most of them still live there and serve the Devil Lord . Sloth is one of the exceptions, he’s the oldest amongst them, he left Hell and started working for the System about fifty thousand years ago . Why he did such a thing still remains a mystery to people but I have a few guesses . Anyway, if it’s really Sloth then you better not cross him, it’s definitely not someone you can defeat, I doubt even ’X’ could match him . "

’As long as he doesn’t go out of his way to attack us then I’ll remain passive too . ’-Arthur

"Don’t give me that shit . You’ll do nothing even if he attacks, heck! You won’t be able to do shit if he seriously attacks you . Don’t go around making enemies, also he’s known to be friendly so maybe try becoming friends . Befriending one of the Seven Deadly Sins can bring you countless benefits . "

’Alright alright! No need to start nagging me!’

Arthur let out a helpless sigh and recounted Lucy about his short conversation with his copy . With Lucy sitting next to it, Arthur stood cross-legged while closing his eyes, he was going to try and find the hiding individual sent by ’X’ .

If the target is hiding on Earth then he’ll definitely sense him with some effort, what he must be careful about is not being found out by the other party .

His stats allow him to be almost unstoppable in the Sovereign Realm, with Lucy by his side, even a half-God Monarch can be defeated so there’s nothing to fear .

Furthermore, the copy assured Arthur that there’s no way ’X’ sent a God Monarch to monitor this place . The System won’t allow a Monarch from another Universe to come and go as he pleases .

There was a strong chance that it’s a Sovereign, as for its exact Realm, then it remains unknown, unfortunately .

The Sovereign Realm isn’t divided into grades like the previous Realms but is split into three phases . The first one is called ’Little Sovereign’, the second is ’Fusion Sovereign’ and the last phase is ’High Sovereign’ .

What the Sovereign is all about is actually fusing with one’s God Spirit . At the first phase, the cultivator starts absorbing the traits of his/her God Spirit and at the next phase, its ’Essence Absorption’ where the God Spirit start integrating into the cultivator’s body .

The last phase is just consolidating the fusion and making it more stable and stronger .

Unfortunately, when he reached the God Realm, Arthur got no God Spirit which is a very unusual thing as every Race should acquire one .

His copy blamed his Race and told him to be grateful as the benefits of being a parasite far outweigh having a God Spirit . As for Lucy’s God Spirit, it was actually a large Yin Lotus that is highly efficient in both defense and offense .

Once Arthur started his search, he used Space Magic and [Lower Presence (Max Lv)], [Sneak (Max Lv)] to render himself unable to be sensed by anything within his range .

Obviously, the range is equal to his sense’s but this only applies to Earth and Astria, if here were in a High-Realm, the range will significantly decrease .

Lucy, who was gazing at him, was shocked to notice that she couldn’t sense him at all despite having her Mana locked into him . If not for gazing at him right this second, she wouldn’t believe he was here .

There was no turbulence in energy, he was sitting on the bed but he was no different than a floating image, soundless and motionless .

Slowly but surely, his figure started becoming illusory, every passing second made him look less realistic . His presence decreased until it was literally nonexisting, even a ghost will be noticed before he is .

Arthur didn’t use Space Magic nor Dark Magic to track ’X’’s subordinate, he actually used Shadow Magic, something he would never have used in the past due to its weakness compared to his other powerful Magics .

As per the copy’s words, Shadow Magic is, without a doubt, the best tracking magic and the most powerful for assassination . It’s a shame that he only possessed one corpse that had such a magic, which explains how rarely it is .

Arthur had to listen to countless lessons taught by his copy, and they weren’t actually physical lessons but historical ones . He listened to the origins of the Shadow Magic until he learned by hit, forcefully .

The dark age that the Shadow Emperor brought is remembered by many powerful individuals, he’s actually one of the main causes of the Void Age’s arrival .

"It’s really a shame, if we could find his corpse then you really don’t need to fear anything in any of the three Universes . "

Arthur had promised his copy that he’ll visit a few secret places that were marked by the latter, these locations have a strong chance to have an ancient corpse of mythical beasts or great sages .

There was also the matter of Zodiak’s remaining legacies, the old man told Arthur to find what’s left of his power and if he could locate them all then it’ll definitely boost his power by a great margin .

"Found him!"(Arthur) .

**************

Author’s note : First of all, thanks for reading my story so far . This will be a bit long so if you don’t have time or don’t want to read, you can skip this .

As an author, what I want is attract new readers and if those newcomers want to read the reviews firs, I don’t want them to be driven away but those negative reviews that have only two sentences, which are badmouthing the story without criticizing anything . With the accumulation of such reviews, the score of the story will drastically drop and it may drive away most readers, which is something I would not want to happen .

It may be hypocritical of my part(which it is) but I do not care about power stones or the story’s score but I highly value good reviews and don’t get me wrong, by ’good’, I don’t mean 5 star reviews but real reviews, which criticize whatever needs to be criticized, one which the writer of said review expresses his opinion about this story and talks about the several inconsistencies that exist .

I did not write more than three-hundred chapters for a few people to write reviews containing a few words that are telling me that my story is trash, I find that displeasing, to say the least .

Sure, if you do not like my story, feel free to write a proper review stating what you don’t like but merely writing a few words that mean nothing is an insult not to me but to my story, which I worked hard to write despite it being filled with plotholes and a lot of other things .

I’m fully aware that the beginning of the story isn’t the best one with the rushed romance, horrendous grammar and the list goes on, however, I try my best to fix such mistakes and reflect on them .

I want to go back and fix every gramatically incorrect word or re-write those unreadable sentences but I am a student and I do not have much time on my hands . If I focus on fixing everything from the beginning then I won’t have time to write a chapter for you guys . I try to go back every now and then to correct a few things but such a task is better suited for long holidays .

Please do not get me wrong, I’m thankful for all of your support but I couldn’t help but write this when I see such reviews, if I have been impolite then I humbly apologize .

What I want is request of you readers, if you have the time and the will, to write proper reviews . They do not need to be 5-star but just let them be real reviews, where it’s not a once sentence-long followed by countless dots to fill the void .

Every writer wants to see satisfactory results after he posts a story, including me, but that doesn’t always happen, however, it doesn’t mean that they do not benefit from criticism or those helpful reviews that, albeit being 1-star, are much more helpful than some 5-star that are contain a few praising words .

Best regards,

TheCrow .
