Chapter 667 Slaying The Parasite!
Chapter 667 Slaying The Parasite!

I quickly walked towards him, looking down, and then stepping over his pathetic body.
"S-Stop! Wait!"
Crack…!
"Gryeeeehhh! You can't do this!"
Crack!
"I can help you…! Defeat… Arach… ne!"
CRACK!
"I don't give a fuck. I'll ask you all the questions I want once you're dead." I smiled back at him, his tiny bug eyes filled with utter despair. "But now, you're getting what you fucking deserve. This is for Furoh and all of the Mimic Demons you've killed!"
"STOOOOP!"
CRAAASH!
And then, his body splattered into pieces, I even received EXP as well.
Ding!

Sarach… was finally defeated.
I touched his worm corpse and then stored it inside of my Dimensional Bag, looking at his own Magic Crystal.
He seemed to be a monster and not a demon, yet he had a lot of intelligence! Was he tamed and then turned into a familiar or something?
He even had a small fragment of the Demon King…
Just by touching these two items I can feel a lot of power flowing everywhere. I wonder if I should eat them or use them to reinforce something?

[Sarach the Parasite Magic Crystal (B+++ Grade)]
The Magic Crystal of the monstrous Familiar of the Demon Lord of Swarms, Arachne. It contains the power of Sarach, whom was capable of parasitizing his foes and absorb their powers for his own, albeit weakened. He was also capable of merging them together.
It holds a powerful and unique ability within, and it might create truly amazing equipment if used correctly. Main Element Affinities are Poison and Illusion, with a small affinity with Chaos Element.

Ooh, the description sounds rather enticing. There's no way I'm giving this to my parents now that I am grown up! I'll keep it as my souvenir! Heh.
Oh, and there's this too…
-----
[Demon King's Fragment (S Grade)]
A powerful crystalized fragment of the Original Demon King's soul, which grow inside the Abyssal Mines within the Demon Continent. Incredibly rare and hard to handle, these jewels contain but a small fragment of the Original Demon King's powers, granting any Demon that wields it the power of the Element of Chaos, with a varied set of Abilities that can be awakened depending in the fragment type.
This Fragment is of the [Aura] type, and whoever utilizes it can bring out a powerful, all-encompassing Aura of the volatile and highly destructive element of Chaos. Which can be controlled to both defend from magical attacks, boost allies' power (as long as they're monster-type or demon-type), and intimidate foes, weakening them in the process.
A malicious yet very weakened will rests within each fragment, this one is no exception. Utilizing it without caution might cause madness.

I see, so it can only be used by Demons though. I guess this is why my parents never talked about any human or elf using these fragments, and probably this is also the reason why they choose to destroy them instead of keeping them or using them as their own weapons.
Though, its not like I don't have any Demon allies, right? Furoh could use it, and maybe even Curse and Beelzebub… I'll see. For now, this thing seems almost radioactive, so I'll save it inside the Dimensional Bag.
I quickly went to check on everyone, they all seemed fine, just extremely exhausted. Furoh took the most damage and was on his true form, resembling a mass of flesh with tentacles and a few eyes.
"Uuugggh… I've… avenged my people…" He groaned. "I can die… in peace now. Sylphy, thank you for everything- GUH?!"
I stuck an elixir bottle inside his mouth and emptied its contents inside of him, forcing Furoh to drink it all. His health quickly refilled and so did his Mana and energy, his form swiftly changed into that of a Fenrir puppy.
POP!
"Ah! Eh?! I thought I was going to die…" He sighed.
"Don't be so dramatic, geez." I sighed. "Though, good job Furoh, you were amazing there! Without you we wouldn't had been able to win."
"Y-Yeah, that was incredible…" Zack said.
"Amazing even! You stood face to face against that monster…" Aquarina said. "I guess I owe you an apology. Sorry for calling you a coward or an ugly worm back then…"
"Ahahaha, don't worry, I have long forgotten those things! You were only a child, Aquarina." Furoh said.
Although it was hard to tell with his ever-changing form, he was already an adult, and so he was quite mentally mature. He seemed to not have taken anything anybody said to him as a grudge, even less when it was a child.
"Though I wonder if what he said was true or simply to taunt you?" Wondered Celeste.
"Sylphy! Everyone! Are you okay?!" Mist ran towards us, quickly hugging Zack. "You're fine? I'll heal you!"
She quickly began healing her boyfriend while we noticed Celica, Zephy, and Nephilim coming along, everyone was safe.
"Big sis… I was so scared…" Zephy started to cry while I embraced him in a tight hug.
"Don't worry, everything's alright now! See? It was very dangerous to come." I sighed.
"I-I didn't knew it would be THIS dangerous though!" Zephy complained.
"A-Ahahah… Well, yeah, I tend to have terrible luck." I sighed.
I can blame that to the -10 Luck I was born with, I guess.
"Sorry for not being able to help in anything…" Celica apologized. "I was so sad when Mister Teddy died… I couldn't hold myself together… I need to… grow stronger for Mister Teddy."
"Don't worry! I'll repair him right away! Where is he?" I wondered.
