Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 187

Three days slowly passed after the incident of the Earth Spirit . The Desert Gargoyle clan was in turmoil, opposite to its usual silence . Rose was tense and couldn't calm down her mind, especially when she thought back to Tarathiel's rage and the ruckus Arthur caused . Add to that the fact that the criminal is hiding inside of her, it made her feel even more depressed .

. . . .

Arthur purposely laid down for a few days to check if the knight in his consciousness was going to resist . After all, it's better to be safe than sorry . When everything seemed in check, he started spreading his sense slowly and noticed that the gargoyles were dispatching big numbered groups outside of the headquarters .

*knock* *knock*

Rose's body trembled for a split second when she heard the knocking sound . Usually, someone of her status would never get disturbed unless there is an important matter .

After opening the door and listening to her pale-faced subordinate, she also became extremely angry when she heard the bad news .

Apparently, the Pigolo tribe really didn't care about the consequences and have become really daring . In just a short amount of time, they destroyed thirty-two outposts of the gargoyles and killed thirteen commanders . Although these cannot be considered major losses, it is still a loss, especially when you compare the numbers of the two enemies . Pigolos have a lot of numbers but few strong experts, as for the gargoyles, they were the total opposite .

Things were soon going to become rough with an all-out war between the two major factions of this wasteland and Arthur certainly didn't want to be part of it . He can't recklessly charge out of here but that doesn't mean he can't use Rose .

Fortunately, her superiors ordered her to fight at the front as to minimize the losses and stop the charges of the Pigolo . Gods like Ti Eru and the rest do not take part in the battles of their soldiers but would interfere if a strong figure arises .

A sly old monster like Ti Eru would sneak around and demolish precious mines that belong to the gargoyles, although it's not what a God should do, Ti Eru didn't seem to care at all as his rage exploded and he couldn't swallow the big loss he suffered at their hands .

. . . .

Since she had everything she needs in her storage ring, Rose only picked her sword and departed immediately . However, she encountered some special visitors on the way . From their appearance, it is certain they were humans, moreover, they are from outside the wall, which made her wonder why they came but she didn't pay too much attention to their arrival, unlike Arthur .

Silently hiding inside her body, Arthur used Rose's vision to observe the visitors . There were two youths and an elder .

Just one look at them and he was able to deduce their origins, from their haughty and arrogant expression to the disdain and contempt in their eyes . Although they were facing higher-ups of the clan, they didn't seem to treat them kindly .

Only the elder was calm, his eyes were closed and he wore a grey robe . With hands behind his back and an arched back, he slowly followed the two youths .

"Ah! Why did we get picked out to come to this place! I can't even cultivate due to the lack of Nether Energy!"

One of the two youth annoyingly flung his hand, he ignored the servant which came to guide him and continued complaining .

The other youth was much calmer, he didn't express his opinion but from the frown on his face, you could guess he was not pleased by coming .

Surprisingly, Rose didn't seem angry by their attitude, so Arthur couldn't help but ask

"Do you get visitors like them often?"

The general was initially startled as she was preoccupied with the thoughts regarding the clan but his voice brought her back to the cruel reality .

"Not very often, probably once or twice a year . "

Contrary to her usual stubbornness, she became much more docile . After learning the ruckus he created and seeing his power, she was certain that he was a powerful expert and any mistake she makes would result in her death . Rose had long since known those rogue experts which travel the world and they usually were extremely powerful and ruthless .

"Mmmm"

Arthur didn't say anything, he just made a noise close to a humming but Rose could imagine him showing a playful smile as he said that . She didn't add anything and flew towards the West .

"Why did they come right now?"

"I do not know, they usually come when a treasure or a high-valued thing is spotted . We usually do trades too . "

This time, Arthur didn't reply, he remained silent which stressed Rose for a few minutes but after still hearing nothing from him, her body relaxed . Her troops were already there so was traveling alone so it was a pretty good opportunity for Arthur to leave her body yet he didn't .

Arthur had other plans, simply going now won't do him any good . He doesn't have a clear destination and he needs to digest the knight and completely subdue him so he can possess him . His main goal right now is finding a spatial master, and that isn't doable in such a desolate land so he has to cross the wall of Yang Fire .

With his fire resistance and current power, it should be possible to cross it but he has to resolve a final matter first . The children of the deceased Human Emperor, they disappeared along with Sonia and the rest yet there is no sign of them here . They are not in the gargoyle land nor the pigolo territory, which only leaves the last faction, The Naga tribe .

In the past, the daughter of the Human Emperor did cause some trouble for him and Lucy and there was a grudge but it had long since been solved and he didn't take it too much into heart . He wasn't going to give up just yet . Although they may have died, however, there is also a possibility of them being kidnapped too .

And where were all the kidnapped girls sent to? Of course, it was to that mysterious force that Vyncent is coming from . The prince may not be with her but he should at least retrieve her .

Thanks to the information Vyncent gave him, he was supposed to meet up with the elders and the rest of the team in a specific location, the two brothers staying at the Gargoyles tribe will be there too along with the captured girls, so he decided to go take a look .

. . .

"It is finally time . "

When they were a good distance away from the HQ of the gargoyles, Arthur left Rose's body at last . With the book in his waist and Makaze sheathed, he was fully prepared .

The female gargoyle was stunned as she looked at the grey-haired man floating next to him with a peaceful look . She only managed to breathe again when his figure blurred and he disappeared from her view .

"Maybe next time we meet, we won't be enemies . "

Those were the last words she heard from him before he completely vanished . A few minutes later, AFter she probed her body and made sure there was nothing lurking inside, she glanced at the direction he headed off to then continued flying West .
