Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 350

Once Arthur left the cave, he came to learn of the issue regarding Gutcha . After a good night sleep and talking a bit with Lucy, they departed for Earth .

The trip was swift and in a short time, they found themselves in their house . Arthur immediately sat cross-legged and meditated for six straight hours to recuperate Mental Power and return to his peak state .

What he created inside the cave consumed much more than expected but it was worth it, moreover, he only needed less than a day to recover thanks to his Vitality, which broke through one billion points some time ago .

Lucy told him that Gutcha wasn't disguised as a human or else he would have been found by her . Whilst it's true he's proficient at trickery and deceiving people, he cannot escape the eyes of a half-Sovereign who has the power of a God Monarch .

In their group, Arthur is, without a doubt, the best tracker thanks to the countless skills he has and his over-the-top Dexterity .

Very quickly, his sense spread in all corners of the Earth, leaving nothing covered from his consciousness .

Every breathing human and animal could be detected by Arthur, however, none were Gutcha . Arthur expected this to not work or else Lucy wouldn't have needed his help so, for the first time since its birth, the Tri-Spirit, was awakened and given its first task .

When it materialized itself in the real world, it resembled a very small grey sphere that emitted thick dark fog and had a small yellow luster in its center .

"Ah! It really feels good to be alive again . "

The voice belonged to none other than the Earth Spirit, which was entrapped inside Arthur's consciousness . It grasped a good opportunity and successfully fused with the forming Spirit in the moment of crisis . It was a big gamble but with great risk comes great reward .

"It's not time to feel joyful yet, help me find someone . "

The reason he summoned the Tri-Spirit is because it has the Earth Attribute, which could help him search every inch of this planet without having to turn it upside down .

"As you wish . "

Although it wasn't friendly with Arthur, to begin with . He is now its master and even if it's unwilling the other two parts will force it to obey him .

In the past, Arthur injected Gutcha with a Detonator which was later removed but some of the Dark Magic that resided in the Detonator had spread in the pigolo's body but since the quantity is very minimal, it didn't cause any damage .

Normally, this would have helped him locate the target almost immediately but the latter seemed to be in a place that either obstructed his sense or isn't on Earth at all .

The Tri-Spirit was both an entity that is separated from Arthur and one that's eternally linked to him, just like Makaze . It has a mind of its own but it obeys Arthur and it is also his eyes and ears .

It's like having a second pair of eyes, ears, and hands . Once it received his command, the sphere changed dramatically, all the greyness and dark fog vanished and were replaced by a bright yellow-ish ball that was spinning so fast it turned blurry . It suddenly crashed into the ground, fusing with it and after that, everyone on Earth could feel a slight, almost nonexistent earth shake .

Through the Spirit, Arthur could see a vast and majestic place that was half destroyed . The pillars were made from a unique white jade and the floor was crystalline . In the entrance of this place, there laid Gutcha with blood around him .

His body looked a bit deformed and his face was pale, in fact, he looked more like a corpse than a living person .

"It's actually a Heavenly Tomb . No wonder . . . . no wonder Earth has lots of strange legends and stories about ancient Gods . I'm really curious to see whose tomb it is . "

The copy's voice rang inside Arthur's ears, surprising him since the former maintained an unusual silence these days so he thought he gave up on helping him .

'What's a Heavenly Tomb?'

This time, it wasn't the copy that answered but the Earth Spirit, which was now part of the Tri-Spirit .

'A Heavenly Tomb is a literally a tomb made by one of the God Race when they are about to die . '

'There is a God Race?'

Claud answered this question without missing any details

"The God Race or also known as the Heavenly Race, is an ancient race that went extinct a very long time ago . They are literal Gods and one of the two existing Races that can create other Races . "

Even more confused, Arthur added:

"Aren't the people who reached the God Realm also called Gods?"

"Yes, they can be regarded as Gods . With enough talent and good control over the elements, they can do things Gods do, such as creating planets, however, creating new Races or even living beings isn't something they can do . In fact, almost all the Races were created by the God Race . It's kinda funny when the ones you created turn against you and murder every one of your species but I guess they kind of deserved it too . "

The copy paused for a second before resuming

"Basically, the ancient God Race didn't need to cultivate or anything, they were born adults and had immense power . Each had a special kind of power and each created one or two Races . As for the modern Gods, they are merely someone who reached the God Realm . From the perspective of mortals, these people can be seen as Gods but in reality, they aren't real Gods but merely people who reached a certain Realm that made them look kind of Holy or strong . "

Although he understood what was said, Arthur still didn't know why would a Heavenly Tomb be present here, on Earth .

"It's not really that complicated . Many Gods liked to disguise themselves as mortals or just rule over a single world or planet . Coincidentally, Earth had many 'visitors' such as Buddha and the 12 minor Gods that named themselves the 12 Olympians . There may be others that I don't know too . "

Once all the explanation was done, Arthur teleported to the entrance of the Heavenly Tomb with Lucy . They were both extremely cautious as per the copy's words, it isn't easy to enter a Heavenly Tomb and harvest the treasures inside without having to pay a big price .

Even in the multiverse, Heavenly Tombs were rarer than living unicorns and are regarded highly . No power, no matter strong it is, dares to claim the right of a Heavenly Tomb since that means angering the whole world .

. . .

Currently, Arthur and Lucy didn't take a step forward and merely inspected the grand entrance while trying to find anything hiding or out of place .

It's true that Gutcha was a distance away and was dying but they couldn't tread on carelessly, Arthur had learned that lesson the hard way .

As he looked around, Arthur's pupil changed color and flashed with a sky-blue light that was beautiful to look at . [The All Seeing Eyes] was activated, allowing him to see what's protecting this Tomb and how it actually works .

*Auto-Appraisal activated duo to syncro with the skill [The All Seeing Eyes]*

*Barrier [Golden Hat](Rank : ????)

Cannot break using physical damage - Magical damage - Qi Technique - Cultivations techniques . *

"It's actual Bud-"

Both the copy and the Earth Spirit shouted at the same time when the notification was displayed in front of Arthur, however, they were temporarily banished in another realm almost instantaneously and the couple was sucked inside the Heavenly Tomb against their will .

Just as they appeared inside, a physical pressure pressed down on their bodies, however, it was pretty so it was neither painful nor overwhelming .

"Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity . "

An archaic voice rang inside the tomb, shaking the couple's hearts and even numbing their will for a few seconds . The voice carried no power behind it still affected them greatly .

Arthur couldn't access his consciousness nor the Spirit or the ARK . He couldn't even circulate his Nether Energy or Mental Power . Lucy was in a similar state, she could only move her body .

The two took some time to process what they heart but they couldn't comprehend the meaning behind saying those words just after they entered the Heavenly Tomb .

Gutcha was a distance away from them, still groaning as blood soaked the crystalline floor under him .

Not even half a minute passed before the voice resonated across the area, however, this time, it seemed to be directly speaking to Arthur .

"Harborer of evil and malice, you have no place in this humane place, be gone . "

Just as those words descended, Arthur found himself standing in the entrance yet again . He tried stepping in forcefully but was pushed back a few meters .
