Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 147

"I told him to go slower . . . . tsk tsk . . . "

Robin failed to keep calm, she looked down and was only able to see the raging ocean and the bottomless darkness, there were no signs of Arthur whatsoever . She can’t fly and she’s stuck in the middle of nowhere . Fortunately, the dark cloud was high up in the air or it would have been hit by the chaotic waves .

A few seconds passed since Arthur fell from the dark cloud and when Robin was still thinking of a solution, an ear-deafening cry rang in his ears, making them bleed . Robin didn’t hesitate as she drank a Health Potion and covered her ears but even doing that wasn’t that helpful as the cry was too loud .

The ocean raged and gigantic waves were created . The good thing is that the cry lasted for just a couple of seconds before disappearing but the results it caused were catastrophic as countless weak aquatic creature died instantly by the sheer power of the sound waves .

Robin was in the air so she was safer, however, she still received some damage and her ears were bleeding . When she tried looking down, she saw some creatures floating on the surface of the ocean, it was apparent that they were lifeless corpses . One fish after another showed up, even a young Kraken was killed by the sound waves and it was unlucky to be near Arthur when he emitted that cry .

’Calm down . . . . *pheeww* we’re talking about that ’Arthur’ . . . . there’s no way he’ll drown . . . no way . . . he was just thirsty, yeah thirsty!’

Time passed slowly as Robin tried to process what just happened . Luckily for her, Arthur reappeared and flew out of the water . By that time, Robin regained her usual deadpan face, while pushing her glasses to the back and looking as composed and calm as possible, she glared at him and voiced her dissatisfaction

"At least warn me before you roll around like a crazy person then jumps into the water . "

"How can I warn you when it was unintentional?"

Seemingly surprised, Robin pondered for a moment then added

"Weren’t you thirsty?"

" . . . . I knew it . You’re just as dumb as ever . "

Arthur ignored her outburst and resumed his trip toward the Demon Continent . It’s a bit illogical to call it a trip since they arrived 10 minutes later but for Arthur, it was a very long trip, one that took 7 years . He still couldn’t believe that he experienced all of that, it was surreal .

He thought about it in the past 10 minutes and came to the conclusion that these memories were indeed from the bears he possessed, though he couldn’t remember them all, he could remember possessing a stack of bones which resembled the outer appearance of the last bear .

"This is the D-Demon Continent?"

Looking at the strange dark trees and the roaring monkeys which jumped from a tree to another, trying to follow the dark cloud which flew with a slow speed right now . They were on the East side of the continent, precisely above the dark forest, which is known to be a one the dangerous places in this continent .

The Monkeys had an average Lvl of 150 and have strong arms but no matter how much rocks they threw at the dark cloud, the stones shattered once they hit the Dark Barrier .

"We’re on the East side of the continent . Where were you ambushed by the black mage?"

"In one of the roads leading to Bunglan City . South-West of the Continent . "

The more they got close to where the incident occurred the more painful memories resurfaced in Robin’s mind . How the subordinates of the black mage slaughtered her party, how her grandfather perished just before he teleported her away from there .

The last thing she saw before she vanished from that place is a bone spear piercing Belic’s back and endless blood gushing out his the gaping hole followed by several mouthfuls of blood coming out of his mouth . A sight she didn’t want to remember but was forced to as she absentmindedly stared at Arthur .

"South-West huh?"

Arthur mumbled as he spread his sense to its limits and flew with a slow speed toward the West . The black mage ambushed them there but his hideout is most likely in a secluded place which is exactly why his sense was spread out constantly . If it was an underground or a hidden cave, he’ll be able to spot his with his sense .

There were two senses he was capable of using . One is the Sixth Sense, which is more effective but has a short range of only 2 and a half kilometers . The second one is the sense he gained when breaking through to the Immortal Realm . It can spread more than 30 kilometers but it’s not very effective .

The Sixth Sense allows him to sense every living creatures, whether it’s bugs, beasts or even plants . Basically, nothing would escape from him if it’s inside his sense’s range . As for the second sense, it’s mainly used to find being which use Nether Energy . Of course, it can track beings which use Mana but compared to the Sixth Sense, it’s lacking albeit having a wider range .

Slowly, the dark cloud advanced to the West while his Sixth Sense was spreading all around him and allowing him to sense any abnormality . Although their traveling speed decreased by several folds, it’s better this way, after all, he wasn’t a God to be able to search the whole continent in a second .

Having a strength equal to a God and being a God are two different things . If he stayed on Astria, the probability of becoming a God is very low due to the lack of Nether Energy, he needs to find a high-Realm world similar to the Underworld which has a dense quantity of Nether Energy wherever you are .

. . .

Three hours later, they finally arrived on the road where the ambush happened . To not make Robin relive those painful memories, Arthur didn’t linger there a lot, he just inspected it and decided to head West to check the dense forest ahead .

’This will be harder than expected . ’

Finding no traces albeit permanently spreading his Sixth Sense, Arthur thought that this vengeance would not be as easy as he expected it to be . From Robin’s description, the black mage was pretty strong so he guessed that his Lv should be in the 500 or even higher . He was not worried about the mage’s strength but about the amount of time that will be required to find him .

It’s a bit late to stop and give up the search, after all, he promised her he’ll help her . All he could do is put Lucy’s matter aside just for the time being . Of course, he was unwilling to do that but he wasn’t a traitor or someone who breaks his promises, if Lucy was with him, she would have helped Robin before searching for him as she considered her(Robin) as half a friend .

*Grooooooowl*

Hearing this sound several times, Arthur turned around only to see a red face Robin who was looking away . The growling sound was obviously coming from her, or rather, her stomach . This woman is hungry, is what Arthur thought .

He retrieved a roasted meat from his storage and casually said

"Five hours to prepare yourself yet you forget to bring some food?"

With her hands crossed and her head proudly held up high, she retorted

"I can’t h,help it, okay?! I was busy with a lot of things that I forgot to put my rings after taking a shower!"

The sweet smell of the roasted meat entered Robin’s nose and enticed her, her eyes were following the meat which was being waved around by Arthur .

"Is that so . . . you forgot your food, but I proposed to help you but not babysit you . "

"Hmpf!"

Robin turned her head and gazed at the sunset after snorting, she was unwilling to ask him for some food after hearing that . Plus, she is as easily infuriated by him as before, it’s just that she learned how to not snap at him every time he angered her .

"I take it you do not want this delicious roasted meat? Alright then . . . "

Arthur acted as if he was going to throw the meat away but was stopped when Robin uttered a soft cry . Her hands unconsciously stretched forwards and snatched the meat from his hand .

"It’s such a waste to throw it, let me have a bite . "

Although she said she would only take a bite, she began devouring it the big piece of meat . At least her eating was a bit lady-like as she took small bites and cleaned her hands from the oil by a handkerchief that she took out from god knows where .

’Didn’t she say that she forgot her storage rings?’

Arthur’s focused suddenly shifted from the hungry Robin to a certain part of the forest . His eyes narrowed and his Sixth Sense focused mainly on that part .

Since all his Sixth sense was directed at one point, it was easier to see what is there . Apparently, there were 4 robbed figures which raised their hands and chanted some incomprehensible words . In the center of them laid a dissected corpse of a horned deer, the sight was gory as its belly was open and the organs were taken out .

The heart was put in a small silver cup and a circle with a symbol inside of it was drawn under the feet of the four robbed figures .

The circle was made from the blood of the deceased deer and what’s creepier is that the heart inside the silver cup is still pulsating .

Before he went to them, Arthur spread his sense deeper into the cave only to find a narrow corridor leading further down . He focused his sense deeper and was surprised to see more than 10 rooms which had 4 robbed figures performing the exact same ritual except the corpse was different . There was a bear corpse, a snake, a large rabbit and even a human or rather, a demon without a horn .

"It seems we found something . . . . . "

Robin stopped eating and listened to Arthur carefully, expecting him to lay out a plan but knowing his strength and attitude, it was meaningless .

"Just don’t do anything rash and cause yourself to die . "

Arthur warned her then the dark cloud descended slowly until it was a dozen meters away from the hidden cave .

Robin was fidgeting as they approached the cave, she was worried and a bit afraid, after all, she could not forget how her party was slaughtered, the sight was too brutal for a young person like her .

"Alright, so we are going to immediately head to the last room without wasting time with the extra . "

The first room they entered reeked of blood as four robbed figure laid on the floor, lifeless . Arthur used his threads and added Natural Lightning to instantly burst their heart and kill them .

Every room they entered, Robin would see the same subordinates of the black mage which killed her party, but this time, they were the one brutally killed . It seemed Arthur liked a bit of change as he would sometimes cut their limbs, heads or burst their heart .

It didn’t take them long to reach a big room, with several large pillars reaching the roof . The room was devoid of any light except a light circle in its center, illuminating the surroundings .

Only two figures were standing inside the light circle . One was a bearded old man and the other was a boy . Arthur looked at Robin, waiting for her to confirm the identity of the old man but from the look on her face, it didn’t seem she knew him, she was just repulsed and disgusted .

’I’ll not bother asking questions then . ’

Arthur didn’t even want to know why they were doing those rituals, if they’re dead then they can no longer do it . A lightning fast invisible thread shot out of his hand and beheaded the old man before he could even react .

All that was left was the boy standing next to him . From the look of it, he didn’t appear to be a hostage so Arthur was going to eliminate him too but was stopped by Robin, who grabbed his hand in panic .
