Once Human, Now a Parasite Chapter 690

Chapter 690

Chapter 690

“How do I restore my memories?”

Arthur and Lucy was sitting around a small campfire, both taking an unneeded rest before they continue their new journey. Now that she became his slave, Arthur became less wary of the White Specter and didn’t suspect that she’s lying, nonetheless, he still didn’t fully trust her.

His behavior towards her, however, became relatively better and less aggressive. Moreover, Lucy would use any opportunity to get close to him and try to seduce him. Whether it’s linking her arms around his, jumping on him or performing seductive poses. In fact, even right now, she was doing it.

She was wearing a very short white dress which revealed almost the entirety of her thighs and her well-developed but not bulging breasts. The parasite, at first, would look away but after experiencing this more often than not, he would just enjoy the sight but restrain from doing anything, unfortunately for his wife.

“I don’t know. Perhaps by experiencing past events, you’ll slowly regain them.”

“Past events? Like what exactly?”

Lucy put her index on her lips and giggled before winking at him and responding,

“Like repeated sexual intercourse? Or cuddling?”

Hearing this, Arthur let out a long sigh, stood up and got rid of the campfire, seemingly not paying attention to what was just said.

Actually, both were heading toward ancient but mysterious ruins on the edge of this world. From what they’ve gathered, it’s a dangerous zone riddled with perils and the active machines protecting the place managed to even kill some of the high-leveled adventurers.

Arthur was very interested in the ruins and wanted to go no matter what. As for Lucy, her only goal was to accompany him wherever he goes… the destination and enemies mattered little to her.

Five days after their departure, with the use of a very fast Spirit Boat in Lucy’s possession, the couple reached the edge of this small and neglected world.

Unlike planets or stars, a realm like this one has an end and when you reach it, you’ll be able to gaze at the empty Void, which is not easily reached, never mind breached.

What welcomed the sight of the parasite and the white specter was a mess of void and a shiny, glorious metropolis dyed in a golden, eye-catching radiance. The city seemed to be in its own Spatial Dimension, which was somehow connected to this world through a narrow passage riddled with thousands of fly-sized buzzing machines wandering around.

“Legends speak about a very old race well-versed in architecture and crafting all sorts of stuff. One day, all the members of that Race blinked out of existence, never to be seen. They left their belongings here and cities such as this one are built by that intellectual race.”

Lucy pointed at the minuscule yet fast and powerful machines while adding, “Those machines too, were built by them.”

“I can’t see their Levels.”

“It’s because they don’t have a Level. They are unrelated to the System and, in your current state, you can, at most, handle ten of them so stay behind me and let me lead the way.”

Although unhappy about being underestimated despite his sky-high stats, Arthur still decided to follow his new ‘slave’ and let her clean up the cramped passage.

Thanks to Lucy’s cultivation and her absurd stats, breaking through the passage and eliminating the machines was a piece of cake. The moment she set foot inside the passage, all the targets were instantaneously frozen and rendered useless. The thousands of fly-sized machines crashed into the ground and broke into blue particles.

Within less than a minute, Lucy and Arthur passed through the supposedly well-guarded passage and entered the other dimension, their eyes were welcomed with an almost blinding light coming from above, the one originating from a ginormous sphere-like object no different than the sun itself.

Arthur wasn’t used to his overpowered body and ultimate skills, he couldn’t even properly use his Sense, however, Lucy was the total opposite, which is why, when they arrived in that dimension, her body shuddered as a genuine dread surged inside of her.

She was an Exalted God and her Sense was able to stretch to all sides of the city, which wasn’t really that big but the source of the feeling of fear she was experiencing wasn’t coming from the machines guarding this place.

Her reactions were swift as she turned around, grasped Arthur’s hand and immediately flung him, precisely toward the way they just came from. The parasite only reacted when he was flying in the air, back in the other small world.

He managed to safely land and arrive back in front of the passage leading to the golden metropolis but before he could figure out what happened, a burst of energy reverberated across the area, sending him flying hundreds of meters away.

****

Back inside the metropolis, Lucy, who just successfully shot Arthur out of this place, wasn’t able to defend herself in time. A crimson silhouette appeared next to her and with just one blow, she was sent flying like a kite, leaving a trail of blood in her wake.

The blow was so powerful that her ribs and two of her limbs were no longer functional. She wasn’t even able to activate her Devil Arm. Her increased recovery wasn’t able to heal her serious injuries.

The assaillant attacked a second time and it was then that Lucy’s body burst with the fusion flames, which momentarily clashed with the attacker but it only lasted for a short period before the White Specter was flung again, her body crashing into one of the golden buildings. Her body, now dyed with the scarlet liquid, was limp and in a pitiful state, her eyes were closed as she had fallen unconscious.

The crimson silhouette which attacked her wasn’t the merciful type. It arrived in front of her unconscious and broken body. Only when it stopped moving around did its appearance become much clearer.

Its savage aura which was strong enough to split the earth just by its very existence, the pungent smell of blood which would even make Vampire vomit.

This was a special existence with the appearance of a soldier wearing bloodied armor, a rusty bronze sword and a missing head. One of the thirteen Mythical Being and, by far, the strongest of them, the Headless Soldier.

He showed no hesitation as he raised his sword and slashed down at Lucy, planning to finish her off. The bronze sword wasn’t coated with Sword Essence but the being’s bloody energy, which easily overpowered Lucy’s fusion flame.

Just as the sword was about to cut her body in half, it was met with a subtle resistance, which grew stronger with every passing second. The Headless Sword retracted his sword and stabbed again but the outcome didn’t change.

The source of this resistance showed itself in no time, it was a simple red card with the picture of a joker holding his forehead while grinning evilly.

Black and grey threads of light burst out of the card and quickly enveloped the Headless Sword, which jumped back and cut a few of them but wasn’t able to escape.

In the end, the threads of light bound the Mythical Being, which released an earth-shattering cry.
