Once Human, Now a Parasite-Chapter 692

Chapter 692

Bit by bit, Arthur was remembering past and forgotten things. Every image, every sensation was as vivid as it can get and it would last for a brief moment before disappearing, however, he ascertained his suspicions.

The silver-haired woman who was so affectionate to him and wasted no opportunity to show her love did indeed appear in those memories, which means that what she said, or, at least, part of it, was true, or so thought Arthur.

After 6th time, the parasite no longer experienced this strange occurrence so he decided to go back to Lucy and check on her. As he walking back with rapid steps to the open plaza, Arthur felt a suffocating pressure that alerted all his instincts.

All kinds of alarms were ringing inside of his head and before he could grasp the situation, a crimson silhouette flew into the sky, not towards him but at the plaza, where Lucy was.

The parasite also shot from the ground and tried to clash with the Headless Soldier but he was a slower than his target, nevertheless, when he approached the mythical being, it automatically changed its target to him.

One would expect precise and strong blows from the strongest mythical being but it was a far cry from that. The Headless Soldier was like a crazy dog, attacking relentlessly and blowing things up left and right.

Arthur blown up away with the first strike and when he managed to stabilize his body again, he was flung away yet again. His Health Pool decreased with every hit but he recovered it almost instantly and, when he was going to be struck for the third time, he was able to retaliate.

His fist enveloped by a green lightning, it clashed with the Soldier's sword, however, the result was no different than the rest. Arthur's body, like a kite, crashed into one of the building, crumbling it.

He coughed blood and struggled to get up but a rusty bloody sword penetrated his chest, impaling him. The Headless Soldier pulled out the sword and slashed again, cutting off Arthur's left arm.

Thanks to the Pain Immunity Passive, the parasite didn't feel pain but he was at death's door and even his crazy regeneration and Life Magic weren't quick enough to negate the massive damage he was suffering every second.

Feeling helpless and restrained, Arthur went all-out, using a Fire Rizaki and [Heavenly Arrow], which were unleashed three seconds after the second slash of the enemy.

He had only 20% Health left and his body was in a mess but, fortunately, the Rizaki blew up just in time. The golden city was overshadowed by dark red flames which dominated the skies and cascaded on the mythical being, blowing him up away from Arthur.

The Heavenly Arrow followed after the Rizaki, made from Void Magic and Lightning, it whistled and twirled in the air. The Headless Soldier tried dodging it but it followed him wherever he dashed and, in the end, he was forced to take it head-on.

Arthur vomited lots of blood then got up and used his right hand, which emitted a blinding white light which covered him and healed his injuries. His cut-off arm grew within ten seconds and his Health was recovered to full after half a minute but the Mental Power he used was not so easily restored.

Instead of flying at the opponent, Arthur wanted to return to the plaza and see if Lucy had woken up. They had more chance to survive if they gang up of the Headless Soldier, who Arthur didn't know and was confused on why he's attacking them.

Sadly, Arthur had just flown a small distance when a crimson light blocked his way, a rusty and unimpressive sword incoming towards him. A crimson pillar of light was unleashed from the sword, to which Arthur unsheathed Makaze and swung it horizontally.

The two blades violently clashed but Arthur was unable to keep hold of his partner, which flew out of his hand and disappeared within a split second. The pillar of light continued its rampage and struck the parasite, who was able to raise a barrier just in time to resist a bit of the damage.

Arthur followed with [Faster Than Death], teleporting next to the enemy and whipping with his leg, accurately hitting the soldier's hand and also forcing the sword out of his hand.

From then on, the battle turned into a dog fight, the two became totally mad, throwing punches and kicks without restraint. No flashy attacks or ultimate moves, just a bloody brawl in which the mythical being was dramatically getting stronger.

One of the downsides of fighting the Headless Soldier is that, the longer the fight lasts, the stronger the mythical being becomes. If he fights long enough, the soldier can even defeat the strongest person in existence, the Nameless Knight.

The golden metropolis, once majestic and full of radiance, was turned into a place no different than hell itself. The dark red flames burned down everything to cinder and the clash between the crazed dog and the angry wolf transformed this place into ruins.

Arthur would punch the soldier's chest, blowing him hundreds of meters away then, in retaliation, the mythical being would kick the parasite in the air then grab his leg and smash him on the ground. This inhumane and savage brawl continued for about fifteen minutes before it was interrupted by a freezing energy which made the Headless Soldier stop mid-charge.

He tried to back away but the Yin Energy spread too quickly and turned him into a statue, which intensely shook and was about to break only for a massive blooming lotus to appear above it and solidify the ice again, trapping the enemy inside.

A graceful figure dressed in a long blue dress landed next to Arthur. Her Yin energy enveloped him and expulsed the crimson aura out of his body.

"We can't beat him… we should leave."

Arthur stared at the frozen mythical being before nodding his head, his right hand emitting an abundant amount of Life Energy, which healed him.

Lucy glanced at Arthur and noticed a subtle difference but decided not to ask for the time being. The longer they stay here, the more dangerous it'll become.

There was something which confused her about this situation. The Headless Soldier knocked her unconscious with a couple of attacks but Arthur was able to contend against it, which isn't logical.

In his current state, he is definitely not as strong as she is so how could he battle the mythical being?

'Did he purposely weaken itself in order to fight Arthur? Or does he scale depending who he's facing?'
