Once Human, Now a Parasite-Chapter 662

Chapter 662: 662

At the dawn of his second day at Ramel City, two royal guards came to the inn and specifically called for Arthur . The parasite was talking with Shen Shen, who woke up quite early .

The guards were adamant on only bringing alone Arthur but when he gave them a chilling glare, they swallowed back their words and quietly led the way .

Fariya didn't leave her room neither did Arthur call for her as he's enough to protect Shen Shen in case something bad happens . This could go in two ways; one, they obediently call the master of the clan and the deal is properly done, and two, they try to forcefully take the Zen Treasure from him .

Zaarae still hasn't shown up but Arthur was confident in his ability to fend off against himself even if those sky-piercing protectors made a move . The guards walked at a moderate speed and in half an hour or so, they reached the entrance of the royal castle .

With just one look, Arthur noticed the abundance of guards and the motionless protectors proudly standing at the entrance . Unlike last time, they were oozing an aura of life as if they are awakened .

"Master, it doesn't seem to be a warm welcome . "-Commented the Quad-Spirit .

"Master, say the word and we'll fucking blow them!" Midolf barked from within Arthur's consciousness . In addition to his spirit, the two mythical beings were constantly with him, adding more to his power and assuring his safety . Even if Habs was here, he won't be able to take down Arthur .

Arthur glanced at the two guards walking in front of him then looked at the other guards standing at both sides, their weapon sheathed and their back straightened .

'If anything happens then I want everyone in the castle dead, am I clear, Radolf?'

"Your wish is my command, master . "

A tiny, unnoticeable double-headed bone lizard sneaked from under Arthur's sleeve and landed on the ground, soon turning invisible . No one knew that in just a few minutes, the lizard will infect the whole golden royal castle with a thick amount of Death Energy, enough to end the lives of anyone who intentionally or unintentionally absorbs it .

At the throne room, King Craus was sitting on a grandiose golden throne embedded with countless gems, he was looking down at the two new guests, his eyes especially fixated on the middle-aged man .

"Welcome, Arthur MoonStar . "

In just one day, the king managed to investigate Arthur's identity but nothing could be found on the blue-haired girl . As for Fariya, she was quite notorious in the Demon Realm, after all, she was one of five chief guards .

"Where is your father?"

"Well…"

Craus let out a sigh as he signaled the mage standing next to him . In five or so seconds, at least thirty heavily armored guards appeared on both sides of the parasite but they didn't emit any hostility, in fact, they showed respect . Amongst them, there was Tuili, the one who led Arthur here yesterday .

The only one who was slightly stronger than the rest was the mage next to King Craus but Arthur was confident in killing him in ten seconds, at most . The moment his target is trapped in the snake-world(named by Arthur), then there is no escape .

Hearing no answer, Arthur knitted his brows and said, "Your Majesty, there's no need to over-complicate things . Bring your father or I'll just leave . "

"Arthur, my esteemed father is busy at the moment so…"

Before he could finish, an unstoppable force enveloped King Craus and, in an instant, brought his body before Arthur . The young man was suspended mid-air, his face pale and full of shock . The guards unsheathed their weapons but the weapon raised his hand, signaling them not to act rashly .

"It's fine by me if you want to act mighty in front of your subjects but don't try that with me . I could not care less about your status or you . "

The Telekinesis effect wore off and King Craus fell in front of Arthur, his body shaking like a leaf . Suffering such humiliation in front of his guard did infuriate the king but he didn't lash out at Arthur .

"E-even if you need to immediately meet my father, you can't . "

"Oh really? Even when I have this?"

Arthur took out the Tactical Reverse Sandglass, dumbfounding the King and the robbed mage, but the guards were oblivious to the origin of this eye-catching treasure .

"It's our sandglass!"

King Craus was totally dumbstruck, his mouth wide-open as he stared at the Zen Treasure .

"Go bring your father . "

"Is that really our lost Zen Treasure? Where did you get it?"

The king had so many questions but all were lost unanswered by the expressionless Arthur, who stored back the treasure and retorted,

"This is the last time I'm saying this, go bring your father here . "

Craus quickly stood up, composed himself, and seriously said . "My father is currently out of the city so, as his direct descendant, I'm the one in charge of the clan-"

"Your Majesty, you should call the elder-"

The mage interrupted the king but ended up being yelled at .

"Silence!"

King Craus waved his hand dismissively at the mage before angling himself in front of Arthur .

"You came here to deliver the sandglass?"

Arthur grinned and replied . "It's a trade . I return it and you take me to Karima's tomb . "

"What? Preposterous!"

King Craus heavily shook his head, showcasing a strong rejection, not even willing to listen to another word from Arthur .

"It's a fair trade . "

"No one can trespass into our Goddess' tomb, not even I . I'm sure my esteemed father will refuse too . "

"That's not what your great-grandfather said though . "

Arthur sighed and took a step back, unwilling to waste more time with this ignorant young man, who's capable of taking important decisions, clearly . In fact, Arthur about secretly sneaking into Karima's tomb but Zaarae told him that it's impossible . That place is protected by an unbreakable barrier, so powerful that only direct descendants of Philos can enter by using their blood essence .

Even one drop of blood essence is costly and is considered a permanent loss so the clansmen rarely sacrifice their power to enter the sacred grand of the legendary female fighter . Even if he possessed Craus, he cannot imitate his blood essence, which is conjured from the unique powered granted by his ancestor .

As he saw Arthur turn around, King Craus panicked and hurriedly said

"Please wait . I'm sure we can offer you something that can satisfy you . "

Still walking toward the exit of the throne room, Arthur casually said, "Not interested . "

"Mr Arthur, wait!"

Craus called out for the parasite, who turned a deaf ear to him . In the end, a robbed figure materialized in front of Arthur, startling the silent Shen Shen, who read the situation and maintained her silence as she knew it wasn't her place to speak or butt in .

"So it's going to be like this?"-Arthur

"Mr . Arthur, please do not misunderstand . I just want you to wait until-"

The poor king couldn't even finish speaking before a crisp cracking sound could be heard . The youth's neck twisted in a strange way before his lifeless body fell on the ground, surprising the commander and the mage .

Tuili ran up to the king but felt no pulse or aura, causing his face to turn incredibly ugly . As for the mage, he clearly sensed his king's death but was unable to do anything .

A creeping darkness emanated from Arthur, enveloping him and Shen Shen, blocking her sight and freaking out the guards .

'I want her safe and sound . '

Two youngsters appeared on both sides of Shen Shen, one bursting with vibrant life energy while the other emitting a decaying grey energy .

The experienced mage, who was about to retaliate, found himself trapped in a strange world riddled with countless snakes . Only five seconds passed since Arthur's disappearance yet he appeared again, his hand holding the bent neck of the dead mage .

"Why are you doing this?"

Tuili's face paled as he shouted at Arthur, who was like a slaughter god, making everyone shiver with dread . From his point of view, Craus' death was unnecessary, so were Arthur's brutal actions .

"You see… I'm much sensitive to killing intent than you think . Blame your foolish king . "

Albeit faint, the now-dead king harbored malice toward Arthur when he saw him leaving . It was barely noticeable but it was sensed by Arthur, who didn't hesitate at all . If the fool just brought his father, maybe it wouldn't have turned like this .

Tuili felt desperate but didn't dare to run, he signaled the thirty royal guards before he unsheathed his weapon . Just as he was about to jump at the parasite, a mass of sand rose from the ground and cascaded on Arthur, who raised his hand and used [Thought and Effect] to completely disintegrate the sand .

An elderly figure with long white hair made its appearance . The old man wore a robe similar to Craus but he seemed stronger and much wiser .

The old man's emotions were in total disarray as he sensed no life from Craus, whose neck was bent 180 degrees . His heart hurt and his turbulent and angry feelings were only blaming Arthur .

Unbeknownst to the parasite, Craus' words and everything revolving around him was but a facade meant to trick Arthur . The moment he arrived inside of the castle, Kass' grandson, who's also the master of the Fallen God Clan, felt the existence of the sandglass . However, they didn't know what Arthur wanted in return but they could speculate a few things based on his race . The most plausible was, as expected, possessing Karima's body .

Arthur's notoriety and his unique parasitic abilities have even reached all the way to the Ramel Kingdom, which is why they didn't dare to attack him on the spot . Moreover, there's a whole undead army behind him… such a large force can turn the kingdom into nothing but a barren land of death .

…

Arthur eyed the old man for a couple of breaths before showing a wide grin .

"Your grandfather highly praised… I guess he wasn't wrong, unfortunately . "

"You'll be damned, parasite! I'm not letting you escape!"

In response, Arthur burst out in laughter and retorted, "Who said I'm escaping?"

The man suddenly expanded in size and just two seconds, a mind-numbingly massive black dragon which shattered the golden royal castle made its appearance . Even Ram Su, Craus' father, was shocked stiff .

The Black Dragon's appearance alone was enough to make the royal guards and even Tuili, stagger and fall on the ground, absolutely dominated by terror .

The two motionless and tall sand statues made their moves, they lunged at the black dragon but when they got too close, they got flung away by an invisible force . Their massive bodies fell miles away, shattering building and injuring countless citizens .
