Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 195

After talking with Gutcha, Arthur departed from that secret room and returned back to an inn he just happened to book a room in it a bit ago . In fact, he can just live anywhere he wants with the countless bodies and their unique abilities . Sleeping whilst merging with the earth is really simple but since he was initially human before coming to Astria, he preferred living normally, at least for now .

Although he didn't pick an extravagant inn, he noticed that a lot of humans came to Black Desert City .

There were many young cultivators along with one or two old men acting as their protectors . Arthur paid no heed to them and returned his room . He didn't have anything important to do besides cultivating but he put that matter to the side and entered the ARK . Although whilst he is using the rest mode the time flows almost like the reality, he didn't use it often . In fact, he wanted a thing like stopping time completely like when he competing against the white no faced people but that deprives him of his powers and stats so he couldn't train thoroughly which only leaves him with the rest mode .

Arthur's ultimate goal is a perfect mastery of Spatial Magic so he could create a Spatial Tunnel to Earth . There are four methods to achieve that . First is to possess an expert in Space Magic, second is to find an already built tunnel to Earth and this is rather unlikely since he never heard of aliens visiting Earth .

The third method is the easiest one of them, it requires him to train his Space Magic to the desired level . That is doable if he concentrated only on Space Magic but even with his stats and Race, it would take some time for that to happen . At the very least a few months if not longer .

As for the last method, it is the one which is has a very low percentage of happening . The use of an artifact or a treasure capable of teleporting him there . He already rampaged through his storage and there is no such item there .

Arthur also thought of going back to the Underworld then going to the same green Spatial Fluctuation, but he was almost sure that he won't be able to find it . He had a hunch that such a special fluctuation would only happen once every few years if not more .

Void, as one of the main attributes, has many sub-attributes like the Spatial Attribute, for example .

Arthur has a few space-related skills but compared to the Void Magic, it is far weaker which is why he doesn't use them at all . Void devours everything, but it can also do many other things, it's just that Arthur isn't able to use them as he hasn't comprehended them yet, his understanding of this attribute is still at the beginning .

With a Race such as his, Arthur doesn't actually need to cultivate or train his skills, not even comprehend profound techniques . It is certainly a blessing but a curse at the same time . From the accumulated talent he gained from all this possessing, he could be considered matchless in terms of aptitude, cultivation speed and so on .

But one thing that has never changed is his comprehension, or more precisely, the ability to become enlightened and strengthen one's techniques or perhaps even leap in Grades .

Geniuses in this age are countless and among them, there are those who could even create their own technique when they still at a very low-Realm . Obviously, those techniques won't be perfect from the beginning as they will grow along with their creators .

. . . .

Sitting inside the endless white-space, Arthur gazed at the emptiness and spoke

"ARK, do you know how I can gain mastery in Spatial Magic?"

After he asked, he waited a few minutes but he heard no response . Despite not hearing an answer, Arthur asked a few more questions and seemed like a madman blabbering alone . After a while of this, he finally gave up .

He gently sighed and stared at the emptiness one final time before leaving the ARK .

However, what he didn't know was that after his disappearance, the man who resembled him exactly appeared and stared at the spot where Arthur was sitting while mumbling

"This is exactly why being a parasite is a heaven at first but hell later . Borrowed power will always be borrowed *sigh*"

just as he appeared, he vanished again without any sound . The only thing left was the rotating cube, seemingly never going to stop spinning for all eternality .

Arthur slept soundlessly after he left the ARK . With infinite Stamina or Cultivators who became ascended to the Divine Realm, they could spend years without sleep, it is simply nothing to be mentioned . But there are rare people who prefer sleeping, however, such people are exceedingly rare .

Most would spend their time cultivating or meditating to calm their minds and clear their hearts . As he didn't sleep in a long time, Arthur didn't expect much and only wanted to close his eyes and rest for a bit . However, something strange occurred as he was sleeping, he dreamt about incomprehensible things . The dream felt real yet his vision was blurry .

He was certain that he had a similar dream in the past, he was in a vast green land with bloomed flowers and a clear blue sky . To the north was a forest with thick tall trees but what was strange is when he tried looking at his hands in this realistic dream, he found them to be very blurry as if a white fog was enveloping them .

As he looked behind him, he saw a small wooden hut and a garden with a few sunflowers, making the scene even more beautiful and breathtaking . It was too peaceful and gave him warmth and a sense of belonging .

As his eyes were enjoying this extremely realistic and beautiful scene, a slender figure left the hut carrying something in her hands . Although he couldn't exactly see her facial features, Arthur knew for sure that it was Lucy . She had a long silky silver hair that was mesmerizing when the sun rays landed on it and made it look shiny . She walked towards him and carried an infant who was laughing cutely .

Unfortunately, this dream didn't last long as his vision blackened before she managed to get closer to him and he returned to the inn room . Much to his surprise, he was sweating a bit which is not something that should happen with a Stamina like his .

It would be a lie to say he wasn't curious about this dream as it is the second time that it happened, but he had no clues and it was not the right time to dwell on it . Arthur quickly cleaned himself and possessed the body of a young man around the age of twenty, he wore simple clothes . He hid the long chains well so the others couldn't see them and left the room .
