Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 372

This time, even the reaction of the God Monarch was slow as her sword abruptly left its sheath and almost instantaneously appeared before Arthur .

'Calm down! Makaze!'

Makaze was going out of control and was about to retaliate only to be held down by Arthur . Unlike the sword name grail, who was about to hit Arthur, Makaze was rather obedient despite the anger it was showing .

Though the sword was unimaginably powerful, it still contained Light Magic, something that Arthur is finally able to use thanks to the book of Eternity . It isn't as powerful as Dark Magic but it still has its uses and cannot be ignored .

The silver tip of the sword was about to impale him only for his hand to meet the sharp edge of the sword and stop it mid-air . A bright white light was emanating from his left hand as it pushed away the sword until it was flung toward its owner, who swiftly caught it and applied pressure to hold it down and calm it .

*Divine Sword, Grail(Rank : Mysterious 3rd Grade)

Short Description : One of the nine Divine Swords and it can unleash an absurd amount of Light Magic .

Random skill : Holy Blaze (Lv Max) .

"I apologize for the behavior of my sword . "

Losha knew that it was her fault as she didn't restrain Grail . However, she never expected it to attack on its own, it's the first time it happened thus she was a bit startled and confused . The more she looked the sheathed dark blade, the more curious she became . She couldn't wait to personally inspect her, inch by inch .

Despite her rising curiosity, her instincts were warning her about Makaze, telling her to not touch it or even attempt to get close to it . Not only did the dark blade bore ill will toward her, if she were to touch it, there's no telling what the blade will do .

"Is that one of the Cursed Swords?"

While pointing at Makaze, Losha asked . The answer came a few seconds later

"No . "

Arthur didn't bother explaining Makaze's origin for it's better kept a secret . He, too, doesn't know everything about the sword but he's still not willing to divulge what he currently knows as it'll endanger him .

A blade that could all sorts of swords and sabers to grow stronger will surely bring unwanted attention . Especially when it can eat an endless amount if there is a large variety of 'dishes' .

Moreover, it was tremendously strengthened by the oath and Dark Magic, it's on another level compared to normal blades . In fact, he was absolutely sure Makaze can demolish the divine sword, Grail, if they were to fight alone, without Losha's interference .

"Although it's difficult, I can repair your blade but only on one condition . "

As she said that, the tall woman smiled seductively then continued

"I've been searching for a disciple for a long time and you caught my eye . "

She wasn't talking to Arthur but Lucy, who remained expressionless . The couple was not surprised when they heard this . The emotion Losha was feeling was strange and once they thought about it, it isn't hard to conclude her true intentions, especially when she continuously glanced at Lucy ever since they entered the room .

.

While still smiling quite evily, Losha added:

My my, that's not the answer I was expecting . "

'I told you this bitch is crazy, fuck why didn't you listen!'

Claud repeatedly cursed as he saw what's happening through the ARK . Just as her words reverberated across the large room, both Arthur and Lucy felt an overwhelming pressure assault them, rendering them almost immobilized .

Arthur was about to retaliate when Losha's sweet voice entered his voice . She wasn't speaking but her thoughts were conveyed to him .

"I heard that the White Specter Clan lost a girl a dozen years ago . I wonder what will be their reaction when I tell them about your dear wife . "

This made Arthur's mind go blank for a few seconds . Nonetheless, never would he give up just because someone threatened him . When he said he and Lucy had the means to escape, he really meant it .

His pupil shone with a blue light and by the next second, he was in front of Losha . His palm was a few centimeters away from her chest but an illusory golden palm was pressing against her two mountains .

Though this martial technique was smaller in size in comparison to the one seen in the Divine fight, its might was way stronger . Arthur expected to push her some distance for his chains of skills to activate but the woman didn't budge, in fact, she had a ridiculing smile on her face .

Despite failing his attempt and freaking the living hell out of Shu Ru, who never expected a fight to break out . Arthur's Tri-Spirit started its offense . The room transformed into a world of total darkness, even a God Monarch like Losha was momentarily unable to see nothing but darkness . This startled her but she was still confident about her abilities and knew that Arthur won't be able to hurt her .

Thick chains made out of Dark Magic sprung from the ground and wrapped themselves around Losha, immobilizing her, however, this was nothing but the appetizer as countless thin spikes made from the Earth attribute, appeared all around him, forming some kind of prison .

At the center of the prison, a malicious grey tornado started slowly spinning, literally sucking the life of Losha . The final touch was a certain unique flame that Lucy used, it went through an opening and hit Losha's body, this time clearly dealing damage and causing blood to ooze out .

By the time everything cleared and the skills disappeared, Losha found herself alone in the room, excluding the shocked Shu Ru .

Arthur's skills weren't meant to attack but to slow her down, the only thing that really damaged her was Lucy's flame, which made her momentarily flabbergasted, to the point of even forgetting to chase them .

'Now I really want her to become my direct-disciple . I don't even know what that Flame was but it directly broke through my physique . '

. . .

Arthur had already held Lucy in his arms and transformed into a bolt of lightning which traveled with a speed not even Losha could match up to . Though they escaped from the building, they didn't leave the city . Arthur possessed a tiny flower which was as a decoration on Lucy's hair, which yet again changed in color, this time becoming brown .

Her appearance completely changed as she resembled a woman in her forties . She wore a luxurious white robe that was decorated with golden lines . She had the air of a rich madam as she entered a famous restaurant and was given a good spot after handing a generous amount of Spirit Stones to the waiter .

She acted as if nothing happened and slowly ate the delicious food presented to her .

As for Losha, she knew that a couple like them was hard to track . She tried following their trail . . . if only such a thing existed . Shu Ru told her that she saw a bolt of lightning fly across the sky only to disappear in a split second . Then again, how's she able to find a bolt of lightning?

She couldn't see Lucy's real appearance as the skill Arthur used was very unique, moreover, it was max level . However, she encountered White Specter more than one time and they had a unique smell which couldn't fade unless they reach a certain Realm .

. . . .

What neither Arthur nor Losha knew was that, a distance away from Lucy, exactly in the middle of the busy street, a dark-haired middle-aged man was inspecting everyone around him, trying to locate something or someone .

He had an annoying grin on his face as clenched his fist in excitment . He was sure of what he felt and the lingering scent that remains in this street was a confirmation .

He was the same man who was talking with the Prince a while ago . He kept glancing at the passing crowd for half an hour before disappearing into nothingness .

Upon his return, he found the prince looking at him and expecting an answer for his sudden disappearance . To this, Wrath scratched his head in embarrassment and said

"I couldn't control myself hahahaha"

The prince immediately retorted

"To find a whore in the red district? Or to ditch me when I was in the middle of a lecture? Which of the two is it?"

He appeared quite irritated as he frowned and expected a satisfying explanation from Wrath . As his personal guard, he had to accompany him all day every day, no matter what happens . This breach of rules was taken seriously by the prince .

"You don't understand . It's here! In this city?"

The Crown Prince rolled his eyes in displeasure and added:

"Do you understand what an explanation is? It's a statement or account that makes something clear yet all you're doing is babbling . "

"At first, I thought I was imagining it, however, just now, I felt it clearly . It's the scent of the dark blade, Evil Wind!"

"So?"

Isadore didn't appear interested as he sat back on his chair and picked a book . Seeing such a reaction, Wrath continued

"It's the nemesis of the deadly sins . It has even killed Gluttony, how could I let it go? We'll not rest until it's destroyed . "

Hearing this, Isadore retorted with a mocking tone

"And you think you'll be the one destroying it? Really? You're just going to find it and attack it without gauging its strength? How about its owner? What Realm is he? His background, the people accompanying him, his motives, his weakness . What if he knows that you're here and is the hunter instead of the hunted?"

This left Wrath silent for a long while, unable to come up with a good argument . As for Isadore, he forgot about that matter in a few minutes and continued reading the book in his hands .
