Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 635

Chapter 635: 635

"How do you feel?"

Lucy worriedly asked Arthur, who sat up and answered her with a bright smile . He felt refreshed, the weakening and the uncomfortable feeling had vanished after he went comatose for a week or so . Lucy brought him to a small planet which had only mortals in it . They were currently inside a small hut situated in a normal, peaceful forest .

While grasping her soft snowy-white hand, Arthur said: "I’m perfectly fine . "

A white glow came out of his hand and entered her body, healing the injuries inflicted by both Hach’ara and the Saber Saint . Only a bit of Saber Essence remained but the old man’s poison could not be expulsed even when she used her Pure Mana . Fortunately, there was nothing Life Energy could not purify so the deadly poison was extinguished in fifteen minutes .

This was the first time in a while since they got together in a peaceful place utterly void of any kind of danger . Arthur was in no hurry depart immediately even though the Dark Blade’s oath kept flashing on the back of his right hand .

After a short silence where both of them simply gazed at each other, Arthur lowered his eyes, which were filled with a bit of guilt .

"I’m sorry . "

"Nn?"

Lucy was startled to hear a sudden apology and didn’t know why he would say that . She leaned her face closer to the point where she could feel his hot and a bit unsteady breath .

"For what? Why are you apologizing?"

"..."

Feeling guilty even to look at her eyes, his hand tightly clenched her hand as he voiced his turbulent thoughts:

"Back on Riarravar... you were pregnant but I . . "

Before he could finish, she cut him off by saying: "I was pregnant and I didn’t tell you . It was never your fault, I just thought that you’ll focus more on protecting me if you know I was carrying our child . "

"Of course I would do that!" He protested as guilt showered him . A simple inspection of her body told him that she was no longer the child, so she probably had a miscarriage . They didn’t talk about it when they were in the Red Tower but they couldn’t avoid this tragedy forever .

Lucy died by Elias’ coin and she has no idea what happened to the unborn baby but it was safe to assume it died along with her, after all, it was but a fetus a few weeks old . Back then, when she woke up, Lucy would cry from time to time but only no one was looking . After a while, she managed to steel her heart and look for Arthur, who was still missing .

Yes, it was very sad that she lost her child but she never lost hope and neither blamed herself nor Arthur . Everything she went through in the past taught her that anything can happen and it’s up to her how to deal with misfortunes .

Seeing his incredibly sad expression, Lucy gently caressed his cheek and softly smiled . Her spotless and mesmerizing face would steal the soul of any man, even in the multiverse, where beauties are as many as the stars . She was the most beautiful woman in the world but her unique charm is definitely exceptional .

"It’s in the past now . We can always make another one . "

Her voice was clear and resolute as if she was stating a fact . She didn’t even wait for his reply as she planted her lips on his while her hand slid down his chest...

Of course, Arthur didn’t resist or push her away... No one, including him, would resist a breath-taking woman as she seductively lungs at them . Although their conversation was cut off short, it didn’t matter, at least not to him, after all, they can continue later .

Further details will be omitted .

...

A week later, Arthur and Lucy arrived at the Rose Sea situated between the Cloud Sea Universe and the System Universe . It’s a forbidden region filled with dangers, only God Monarchs and above can enter this plan and not be affected by the deadly fog lingering in the air . Even Exalted Gods do not venture too deep and, in fact, Arthur and Lucy didn’t come here to search for some unimaginable artifact... it’s just that Makaze was here .

The more he got close to Evil Wind, the stronger the signal from his partner was . He didn’t know why would Timos would put his forest here but he didn’t care, he just wanted to recover the Dark Blade and be able to use his strong sword skills again . The sword given to him by the Black Devil was strong but the cost to use it was too much, even for a parasite like him, whose stats are borderline absurd .

"So this is the Rose Sea . "

"I didn’t think the name literally described the place . " Lucy was fascinated by the sight before her . The horizon was painted with a pink-shade as a vast sea spread everywhere . It was strangely calm and emitted an unfamiliar energy which made the couple slightly uncomfortable .

"Master, this place is not as peaceful and welcoming as it looks . "-Quad Spirit

Arthur’s pupils focused on the pink water, trying to see what they were hiding but not even his sense could penetrate through these waters .

****

Heaven and Hell Universe, Pact Galaxy, Southern Angel Region

Arthur floated in the endless dark space while scanning the empty area . Everywhere he went, there was angel troupes patrolling the area, moreover, their individual strength was truly eye-opening to the parasite .

He activated his Stealth Mode, turning invisible and unnoticeable and bypassed the angels . This region was a restricted place where only the angels can enter and it’s also his destination . More accurately, he was looking for a specific planet .

...

FLASHBACK

A man that was a carbon copy of Arthur leaned on the wooden chairs and asked, his gaze never leaving the parasite .

"So, got any more questions?"

In response, Arthur thought for a few breaths before saying:

"The Garden of Words... can’t you give me a hint on how to reach it?"

For an indeterminate amount of time, the man didn’t reply, he seemed to be weighing his options . After what seemed to be a long, long while, he smiled and said:

"I can tell you that... you need Life and Death . "

Arthur knitted his brows, not understanding the man’s meaning .

"Life and Death?"

"Yes, Life that could heal anything and bring the damned . Death which could finish the holiest of beings . I think I’m making it quite obvious . "

Arthur thought for a moment before he let out a gasp and said: "You can’t mean..."

"Yes, the twins, Radolf and Midolf . I know what you’re going to say, they both disappeared after the war but they’re currently imprisoned by the angels . Get them out . "

"And then what?"

"When you get them out, the answer will naturally reveal itself . "

******

"What’s that?"

A blue-haired girl which looked no older than seven pointed at a large structure far, far away from their location . After Timos had left, Vyncent and the girl were left alone and had no choice but to travel together to ensure their safety . With the use of unique and powerful water magic along with Vyncent’s cultivation and the coin, especially, they managed to travel from one planet to another .

They had been chased by many things and ended up landing here, a planet devoid of life and very eerie .

The two were shrouded by a fog unleashed by the coin but just to make sure they don’t get spotted, they used a few thick bushes as a cover . They gazed at the large black structure and the sky-tall fences surrounding it from all sides .

"I don’t know . It appears to be a prison . "

"Hmpf! You’re old, aren’t you supposed to be knowledgeable?"

Although she was much younger than him, the girl always behaved arrogantly and never wasted an opportunity to flaunt her superiority in talent . Vyncent had long since grown accustomed to her childish behavior and, at first, he used to bicker with her but now he would just remain silent .

"Should we go in?"

She was more intelligent than a genius child or the average one, however, due to the special circumstances surrounding her birth, she was curious about any unknown thing or place .

"Why should we?" He furrowed his brows and showed an instant injection . One look at the prison would make you want to go the other way . He truly couldn’t understand what’s going inside of her little head .

The two were so busy with the prison that they didn’t a presence which quickly grew closer to them . When a faint rustling came from behind, the two abruptly turned around, both comically covering their mouths .

What met their eyes was a man with grey and black hair, black clothes and two abyssal pupils . The girl didn’t recognize him but Vyncent was flabbergasted as his lips opened and closed a few times .

"What are you doing here?"

Arthur scanned the young man and the girl, wondering why they’re here out of all places .
