Chapter 663 Sarach, The Parasite
?
-----
"I am Sarach the Parasite, the loyal servant of the Demon Lord of Swarms, Arachne, and faithful worshipper of our Evil Goddess, Lady Lolth!"
So that "Lady Lolth" that the Fishman King was talking about was an Evil Goddess?! Evil Gods are Gods that betrayed the others and decided to go on their own, sometimes mutating and transforming into stronger beings, but with also more necessities.
And this guy is the loyal servant of the Demon Lord of Swarms, Arachne… So there's still a few more Demon Lords left behind from the previous war?! Makes sense now that the Fishman King knew about us, he was being parasitized by Sarach this whole time.
But who the heck is this guy?!
My Heavenly Eyes shone brightly as I analyzed his monstrous form.
Ding!
[The power of [Heavenly Eyes] is being activated!]

[Sarach, the Parasite.]
A Loyal Servant of the Demon Lord of Swarms, Arachne, and a faithful worshipper of the Evil Goddess, Lolth. His entire body is composed of thousands of smaller insects and utilizes his aberrant form to parasitize them. His true form, however, is a small worm which controls the rest of the swarm, always protected.
He loves to parasitize other beings, and when they're killed, he can absorb their powers for himself. A reason why he has grown this powerful is due to the many monsters he has devoured and assimilated into his own.
His current power varies a lot depending on the amount of insects composing his swarm, or of any being he's currently parasitizing. It can go as high as over Tier 8, but his weakened state might be as weak as Tier 2.
Recommendation: Destroy his swarm and weaken him before finding his real body and destroy it. Be careful of his various skills, especially of his poison and illusion magic.
Extra Information: A Fragment of the Demon King is held by him, generating a powerful Chaos Aura that can weaken or even negate elemental magic.

Amazing, after so many level ups, Heavenly Eyes can show so much info! With this I think… we might be able to destroy him. Though it's going to be hard, really hard. If not almost impossible.
Ding!

Eh?! Seriously, another quest?!
"He's a servant of a Demon Lord?!" Zack asked in shock.
"We don't stand a chance! We have to run away!" Celeste said.
"But the gates are still closed, and they won't open at all, the material is super tough too!" Aquarina said, she had been hitting the gates with her full power for a while now.
"Are you telling me we have to… fight and kill this thing?!" Asked Celeste.
"Mister Teddy's gone…" Celica cried. "And now… What can we do?"
"Uuugh…!" Mist cried. "My magic is weakening… That Chaos Aura he has… What is it!?"
"Ahahahah! Cower in fear, you damn children! Now that you're weakened after that fight, you're ripe for the taking! Ahhh! I will make sure to parasitize you one by one and eat you all alive!!!" Laughed Sarach. "But don't worry, my swarm shall take the first bites!"
Aside from the one-meter-big black spiders, other insects began to emerge, giant millipedes, large cockroaches, monstrous worms with sharp fangs, large beetles, flies, and more. They were weaker by themselves, but they were hundreds of them, and Sarach had some sort of pocket dimension because he kept summoning them.
"GO! Eat them all! Devour them!!!" Sarach laughed, the power of the Demon King Fragment he held boosting the power of all his swarm, which overflowed with smaller Chaos Auras.
"They're coming…! Stay behind me! I'll open a path!" I said. "My eyes told me that he's actually way weaker once the swarm is gone, we have to slay all of his swarm and get to him!"
"Is it even possible?!" Asked Mist.
"T-This is too much!" Zephy complained.
"Uuuggh…" Celica was also afraid.
"Nephi, protect those three with all you've got!" I said.
"Very well!" Nephilim said, her aura emanating from her beginning to spread out, suddenly clashing against the Chaos Auras! "[Heavenly Chaos Aura]!"
FLAAAAAAASH!
"Ngh?! W-What with that aura!?" Sarach felt suddenly surprised, he didn't see that coming.
Analyzing the situation, I suddenly realized what was happening. Nephilim's aura easily weakened the enemy's aura, and she even tweaked her own to boost our own stats. But her Mana was being drained constantly. Thankfully, with my Mana Manipulation, I can transfer her as much Mana as she wants.
"I hope this can help!" Nephilim said, suddenly conjuring a barrier made of light and darkness. "[Limbo Domain]!"
FLAAAASH!
The barrier quickly encapsulated Mist, Celica, and Zephy, while Celeste, Zack, and Aquarina stayed outside. Celeste was slightly frightened too, but she was too old for her to be crying like a baby like the others.
"I guess there's no helping it!" Zack said with a defying smile. "This aura's amazing though! Can Nephilim keep this up for long?"
"I have no idea, but if she hasn't used it before, it must probably exhaust her a lot even if I keep giving her Mana!" I said.
"Well, we've gotta put it to good use then!" Aquarina said. "Celeste, snap out of it!"
Aquarina smacked Celeste's head, as she suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"Ah! R-Right…! I… Sorry! I'll fight too! Even if I die, I don't give a damn!" Celeste roared. She was probably remembering the same fear she felt when she encountered the evil gods, this chaotic aura was really frightening.
"Let's advance together while pushing the swarm back to Sarach then!" I roared, imbuing all the Mana I could into my sword. I still had power accumulated inside of my Heavenly Sun Skill, but I had to save it to destroy Sarach's true body.
Therefore, I will just bring out the power of my Spirits and Scarlet and Sapphire to push back as much as I can… And for that reason, I need to change my Class and Subclass!
Ding!
[You have conjured the [System Modification] Spell!]
[You have modified your own Status!]
