Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 233

Chapter 233

Ehrendil spotted a dark cube in the far distance, almost hidden by the ravaged trees and clustered boulders . He immediately headed with a few generals to see what’s happening . As one of the people who were present when their Earth Spirit was stolen, he definitely knew that whoever is controlling the dark cube is, without a doubt, the same person who infiltrated their headquarters and did as he pleased, robbing their guardian .

This was a humiliation even his usually calm brother, Tarathiel, couldn’t bear, so they vowed to hunt this rat and kill him, after they retrieve the Earth Spirit, of course .

With boiling blood and a bit of cautiousness, Ehrendil flew towards the dark cube but once they were some distance away, it suddenly vanished into thin air, startling the generals who were more afraid than him due to the ominous aura caused by the aftereffect of the Dark Magic .

Being a God, Ehrendil was more resistant to it but he still felt uncomfortable, however, such a feeling made him certain of his suspicions .

...

Soon enough, the two groups met, on one side were two people, one was a grey-haired man and accompanying him was a girl with an expressionless face and a large sword on her back . The other side encompassed four individuals, one was Ehrendil and the remaining three were generals under him, all at the Divine Realm .

Ehrendil paid little attention to Cold Sword and looked at Arthur, he didn’t try to hide his killing intent, indicating that he’s not here to talk . However, his focus was soon shifted to Jian Si as his underling whispered a few words into his ears, made him realize how unlucky he was .

Arthur glanced at the group which blocked their way then he took another turn, intentionally avoiding them .

Fighting Ehrendil is barely doable but he was certain that emerging victorious is impossible, he would be able to fight equally against the God for a short time before he collapses . He was still feeling dizzy and it’s only thanks to his high recovery that he’s managed to walk properly .

"Stop right there!"

Despite the presence of Jian Si, Ehrendil still planned to take down Arthur, it’s his first time seeing this man but apart from him, there’s no other suspect and it couldn’t Cold Sword who created that much chaos in their headquarters, she was strong but not enough to steal the Earth Spirit . Moreover, being an infamous individual in the Green-Leaf world, a lot of people know about her and her techniques, she definitely wasn’t the one who used that dark cube, or so speculated the desert gargoyle .

He never talked with the girl so he couldn’t understand why she was looking at him like that, eyes full of killing intent, as far as Ehrendil knew, Jian Si never created trouble for people who didn’t bother her . She’s the vengeful type but only to those who purposely provoke her and his previous words were only directed at the grey-haired man .

"Hm? Is there something you need?"

Arthur spoke with a calm tone, showing that he wasn’t fazed by the Godly aura being unleashed by Ehrendil, who unsuccessfully tried to pressure him .

"Yes, I need you to come with us . "

Whilst nonchalantly shrugging his shoulders, Arthur retorted

"I’m afraid that’s not going to happen, I have some business to take care of . Maybe another time..."

Arthur didn’t wait for a response as he continued walking with Jian Si behind him . As per his expectations, things didn’t go as smoothly as Ehrendil wasn’t going to let him go this easily . It’s unfortunate that his true appearance was seen but that doesn’t matter since he can change it as in the blink of an eye .

A wall of earth rose from the ground, forcing them to stop walking as it blocked their front, rendering them unable to advance any further . Jian Si took this a sign so she unhesitatingly retrieved her sword and cut the wall in pieces without any effort, she then directed her previously accumulated anger on those targets, who all had pale faces except for the God .

"Please wait a moment, Miss Jian . We only have business with this man, by no means do we want to obstruct your way, you’re free to go . "

Ehrendil spoke politely, not wanting to offend her . He can deal with her but the consequences would be disastrous, if he were to injure her, her backing would turn his tribe into a bloodbath, provoking one of the strongest powers in this world is not something he wished, but he still couldn’t let Arthur escape a third time .

"He’s with me, so bug off . "

Receiving such a rude response from Cold Sword angered Ehrendil as he’s a respect God but he that wasn’t what infuriated him the most, the thing he didn’t want to hear the most is that Arthur was with her . They may be traveling together but that doesn’t mean he’s with her . Having her back him off complicated thing for the desert gargoyles, she was literally forcing their hand and pushing them to attack her .

"He’s a wanted criminal who trespassed in our territory, we would like to bring him with us for a thorough investigation and if he’s innocent, we’ll let him go . "

Ehrendil insisted, causing the girl to become more irritated . She rushed at the group of gargoyles with fast speed and swung her longsword, creating a red hurricane that sent all the generals flying dozens of meters away, even Ehrendil was pushed back a few steps, which made his face flush red with embarrassment and anger .

He didn’t dare raise a hand against her, he didn’t want his tribe to meet its doom by his hands, which is why he didn’t retaliate when she attacked .

Unfortunately, not all the generals under him were as wise as he was . Two of them, who couldn’t handle the shame of being sent flying but a young girl, got up and charged at her, intending to subdue her .

Despite knowing her real strength and background, they didn’t hesitate for they thought Ehrendil will back them up and with a God accompanying them, they didn’t to fear this prodigy .

Wanting something to release her anger on, Jian Si welcome these two with a fierce swing of her longsword .

The sword clashed with the spear of the general, shattering instantaneously and cutting off his head mercilessly .

The other general was scared out of his wits when he saw the large disparity in their strength, which he didn’t expect . They were all at the Peak of the Divine Realm, so he thought there may be a chance but the monstrous power she just demonstrated, showed him how foolish he really was .

It was too late for regret, his opponent was Jian Si, who wasn’t a person who goes easy on their enemies . Before he could retreat, the black sword penetrated his abdomen, then it went up, cut in half from the stomach all the way to his head .

The poor gargoyle died a miserable death, not even able to scream desperately or cry for help .

As for Ehrendil, he was smart enough to act whilst she was distracted . He wasn’t going to attack her despite seeing her slaughter his generals, however, that wasn’t the same thing for Arthur, who was completely defenseless right now .

In but a moment, Ehrendil appeared next to Arthur, with his hand forming a claw, intending to kill him . Bringing Arthur with him isn’t possible with Jian Si present, so the best choice is to kill him and be done with it .

The claw flashed with a yellow light, sending small beams of light that landed on the earth surrounding Arthur . Just as the hand was going to reach Arthur, a long flying sword came straight at Ehrendil, it was like a red tornado ravaging everything in its way, plus, its speed was unimaginable .

Ehrendil snorted and changed the direction of his claw, clashing it with the sword . A ringing sound resounded due to the collision and from out of nowhere, Jian Si appeared at the right side of Ehrendil, she was barehanded but once she raised her hand, the longsword which was being pushed back by Ehrendil suddenly appeared in her hand, ready to be swung again .
