Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 644

Chapter 644: 644

"Master, this is as far as I can go . The fifth level can only be accessed by the chief guard, be careful of him . I’ll be waiting for you here . "

Fariya sweetly smiled at the devil-like Arthur, she bowed her head and waved his goodbye . Before he entered the final floor, Arthur’s body instantaneously shrunk, becoming a small brown rat that sniffed around before slowly and cautiously advancing forward . Out of all the chief guards, the one guarding the 13th floor is said to be very sensitive to his environment and there will be a high chance Arthur is discovered even if he relies on his usually undetectable stealth .

Even with Radolf and Midolf, it would still be difficult to jailbreak as all the remaining Chief guards will stop him until Habs and the reinforcements arrive . If he could at least leave the prison then even the Warden came, he’ll still be able to escape easily, after all, his speed is rivaled only by a few immortal existences . If Arthur pours all of his power to flee then not even a peak Exalted God can stop him .

Additionally, he still has the grown Black Dragon body, which is very strong, though its cost is great too, which is why it’s only meant for emergency situation . Timos previously told him that once he reaches the peak of the Overgod Realm then absorbing the dragon’s stats won’t do him any harm and will significantly boost his stats .

Fortunately, the 13th floor is the smallest out of all of them and had no more than three prisoners, each put in a solitary cell . The minuscule rat used its small legs to walk toward the cells, stopping at their entrance to sniff around before advancing once it confirmed that no one was there .

Around ten minutes later, Arthur’s eyes lit up as he found two young men bound by thick chains and kneeling on the floor . The range of his sense here severely restricted so relied on the rat’s racial ability, which allowed him to sniff the mythical beings . He located them the moment he stepped onto the floor but he acted like that to not attract the attention of the chief guard .

Arthur was about to enter the cell of the two youths, who looked at him at the same time . Midolf was slightly excited while Radolf wryly smiled, they didn’t say anything and merely watched the approaching rat .

The parasite glanced at the adjacent cell only to see a mesmerizing beauty wearing a short dress and smiling while looking at him .

"You have come!"

Arthur knew she was talking to him as her eyes were so fixated on him that it made him feel a bit uncomfortable . The appraisal showed no results and the fact that she’s locked here made him wary as he looked at her for three breaths before he continued heading for the twins .

Even after being ignored, Zaarae didn’t seem to mind at all as she walked to the edge of the cell and very ’casually’ stretched her hand and bent the supposedly unbreakable black metallic bars . Her actions seemed normal but Arthur’s body froze as he raised his little head to gaze at her for a second time . Even with his strength, it shouldn’t be possible to bent the bars, they were embedded with a staggering amount of Energy, making them practically immovable .

The Parasite Empress ignored the dumbstruck mythical beings and stopped before the rat . Before Arthur could do anything, she shot a ray of light from her finger, causing the latter to return to his human appearance, startling him even more .

He unconsciously took a step back but wasn’t about to say anything as the shock was too much for him to bear . A split second after he reverted to his real appearance, a feminine fragrance entered his nose and snapped him out of it . He stiffly turned his head and looked at the giggling woman who wrapped her arms around his and affectionately clung closer .

A couple of meters away, Midolf nudged his comrade and whispered with a resentful tone:

"See? I fucking told you!" He paused for a second as he looked at Zaarae press her breasts against Arthur’s arm .

"We’re doomed! I’m not going back! Not going!"

He grabbed the chains and wrapped them tighter around his neck and waist then pretended to be unconscious . As for Radolf, his face a bit pale but he didn’t jump into conclusion like the roc . Although secretly, Lucy did indeed tell them to take care of Arthur and the past and not let woman get close to him . From the way she said it, it was apparent that they’ll be punished if something like this happens .

Knowing her ruthless behavior, it wouldn’t be surprising to actually see her pluck Midolf’s feathers and decorate the room with them! The twin-headed death lizard unconsciously gulped saliva and took a deep breath .

"Who are you!"

Arthur quickly came back to his senses and pushed Zaarae away, he used a monstrous force but the woman wasn’t affected . He did, fortunately, break himself from her grasp and distanced himself but Zaarae pouted, pursued her lips and said: "You have to allow me to do this at least! I’ve missed you so much!"

She tried to hug him again but Arthur walked further away while using his Telekinesis to get rid of her but none of his skills worked, she seemed to be able to negate everything . The unfamiliar woman wasn’t hostile but that doesn’t mean he’ll allow her to as she pleases .

"Master! That’s the Parasite Empress!"

The Quad-spirit sounded surprised as it sounded surprised while warning its master . When he heard those words, Arthur’s pupils constricted as they focused on the charming woman, who was no shorter than him .

"I don’t know you! Don’t come closer!"

Arthur raised his hand to stop him, which was actually more effective than his skills . Zaarae stopped in her tracks and looked back at the middle-aged man, her eyes containing longing and affections . She really didn’t seem to be faking it, or so Arthur thought .

’What the hell is happening?’

Cold sweat soaked his body as he thought of various scenarios but he couldn’t figure out why one of the Twelve was acting like this . One second after the other passed but Arthur remained motionless, his eyes never leaving the woman’s figure . What made him even more confused is that his body feel the slightest bit uncomfortable when she held his arm . He shook his head, purging the unnecessary thoughts before saying:

"What do you want?"

He glanced at the narrow corridor in- between the cells while stretching his sense, worrying that the Chief Guard noticed this ’disturbance’ . Zaarae noticed his every movement, she giggled and assuredly said:

"Don’t worry, that old foggy won’t do a thing! Even if he did, I’ll protect you . "

She sounded genuine but Arthur could trust her at all . This was too abrupt and his thoughts were in total disarray .

"Anyway, don’t get close to me or touch me . "

Thankfully, Radolf interfered and respectfully said: "Empress, our master is already married . "

Hearing this, Zaarae frowned but didn’t look angry . She just said: "What if he has a few woman? I don’t mind . "

’What few women? Is she actually crazy? Damnit!’

For the first time, he was happy that Lucy wasn’t here with him . If she saw Zaarae hug him, a death-match would have already started between the two women .

Knowing that the other party is one of the twelve and someone who he couldn’t offend, Arthur corrected his tone and politely said:

"Empress, I think you’ve mistaken me to someone else . I’m a married a faithful man . "

He didn’t know why he was talking about this topic in such a gloomy place but if he doesn’t make himself clear then Zaarae would repeat the same actions .

As if she was wronged, the woman crossed her arms and retorted: "It doesn’t matter to me! I just want to accompany you and have fun . "

She seductively winked at him while changing her pose to another one which revealed her thighs and her perfect curves .

A sigh escaped Arthur’s lips as he shook his head, truly not knowing what to do .

’There is no way to get rid of her for now . What do you think? Should we use her?’

Although he, more or less, took a decision, Arthur wanted to hear his spirit’s opinion .

"Master, she’s very dangerous but I feel no ill intent from her . In fact, she is purposely sealing her aura to not hurt you . If she tags along, we can leave this place easily . "

’I hope you’re right...’-Arthur

"..." After a minute or two, Arthur sighed again and told her: "You can come but touch me . "

Zaarae vigorously nodded her head then went next to Arthur, her excited eyes never leaving him . She was more obedient than he had thought, making him question the reality of the current events . How can one of the Twelve act like this? Isn’t it absurd? Illogical?
