Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 269

The damage done by the 3rd-grade bullet was beyond what Arthur’s Rizaki could do, even if he unleashed his strongest Rizaki, which was one made from pure Void Magic, it still wouldn’t be able to devour the whole continent .

The red rose was still burning high up in the sky, raising the temperature of this whole small world by several degrees, beings that watched from afar were staring at the gigantic burning rose from afar, with awe and fear .

East of Astria, a transparent green barrier materialized itself around the World Tree, protecting a third of the Itas continent . The heat from the rose was reaching the thick forest and even the trees close to the shore was melting as they couldn’t withstand the high temperature .

"Such dangerous flames . . . what a terrifying monster indeed . . . . much like that crazy old man . "

The spirit of the World Tree mumbled to itself as it witnessed the rising rose, covering the sky far away and changing the weather of the world .

Even though Astria wasn’t big compared to the Green-Leaf world, it isn’t easy to cast a skill capable of totally changing the weather and incinerating a whole continent .

The Northern Continent suffered the least as it was a bit farther from the Human Continent, however, some of the snow mountains on its South melted, revealing a beautiful greenery that was hidden by the snow that existed for thousands of years .

At the MoonStar sect, right at the top of the roof of the tall tower, there was a lonely slim figure watching the burning red rose with a helpless smile hanging on her face, after a while, she let out a long sigh and bitterly said

"It’s no use, Arthur . . . even such an attack won’t work against them, winning alone is impossible . . . why can’t you understand the meaning of my words . "

Lissandra became absent-minded as her eyes were locked on the rose that dispersed after a dozen seconds . . .

. . . . .

When he decided to fight, Arthur planned to defeat the four Divine Beast while trying to keep the central continent undamaged, however, that idea was immediately cast away when he experienced their prowess . It just wasn’t doable to kill them without damaging this big piece of land so he decided to give up on this one to save the other three, as long as the inhabitants live and there is a safe place to live in, then it’s still worth it .

Currently, he was coughing large mouthful of blood as veins popped from his arms, his body shook intensely from the powerful rebound of the revolver .

He stared at the burning rose then shifted his attention below, where the Four Divine Beasts were flung to . Unfortunately, the burning rose didn’t remain for a long time, barely fifteen seconds before it dispersed in the air, leaving a sea of red flames below, it sunk deep into the bottomless abyss, causing heat to emit from there .

From within the sea of flames, Arthur could see three floating figures, one was a large black shadow that had some of its scales burned or broken, blood leaked out unceasingly as it pushed the flames away and flew high above whilst a formless green energy enveloped it, protecting it from the fire .

The energy aided the other two, guiding them through the fire and helping them recover bit by bit . Accompanying the black turtle were the Vermillion Bird, which had one of its wings missing and right next to it was the Azure Dragon, which literally had half of its body burned down, showing a grotesque and gory sight .

Arthur couldn’t feel the presence of the White Tiger nor could he see its position in his map which only meant one thing, his attack managed to successfully eliminate one of the four, making him feel delighted and showing a bit of hope in this suicidal path .

Although he was relieved that the tiger died, he also felt helpless as he couldn’t fire another 3rd-grade bullet, it’ll break his body and it’ll take a lot of time before he recovers . His body was already on the verge of breaking and if not for his high recovery, he would have fallen hundreds of times .

Since he was overworking himself so his lost arm wasn’t fully grown, only half of it appeared, this applied for his serious internal injuries too which is why blood leaked out of his mouth every few seconds .

With Makaze gone, he could no longer execute powerful swords skills, he coldly stared at the enraged Divine Beasts, which weren’t pleased with the loss of their comrade .

The black turtle only had a few of its scales burned or destroyed and apart from that, it didn’t look in a bad state, however, the Azure Dragon was basically dead with half of its body burnt . The Vermillion Bird had a very high resistance to all kinds of flames so Arthur’s previous attack didn’t cause serious damage, fortunately, it was able to destroy one of its wings, causing it to wail painfully as it flapped its lonely wing and spat big fireballs at Arthur, who skillfully dodged them using his agility coupled with [Transcendence] .

Before he performs the next step, Arthur wanted to kill the Azure Dragon as it was incapable of moving, much less resisting so without any hesitation, he dived straight at it, ready to execute .

’[Blood for Blood]! [Heavenly Arrow]! [Blood for Blood]! [Heavenly Arrow]!’

Instantly, two lengthy arrows appeared at his sides, they were made from pure Dark Magic . The two arrows flew straight at the motionless dragon with a speed faster than his, they were both aimed at its head, wanting to pulverize it .

This time, the black turtle didn’t stay passive, it growled with a deep sound and opened its mouth, showing its sharp dark teeth and disgusting slithery tongue .

At that second, Arthur felt his body become heavier and his vision becomes extremely blurry, his figure fell from the air as if the ground was pulling him towards it with strong, almost irresistible force .

’Dammit! Gravity Magic!’

Gravity Magic belonged to Earth Magic but it was very, very rare to acquire and even him, who possessed hundreds of thousands of bodies, wasn’t able to obtain him, which showed how unique it is .

It is said that it’s very powerful and if mastered properly then even Gods had to kneel without able to retaliate .

’What the hell is this turtle, it can do everything!’

Although he was pushed down, the two Heavenly Arrows he sent weren’t affected by the gravity force and continued their way toward the helpless dragon, which cried angrily as it glared at the sea of flames below with rage and terror, it completely ignored the incoming arrows as if they weren’t a threat, to begin with .

Two half-broken scales appeared in front of the Azure Dragon; blocking the arrows’ way . The scales and two arrows clashed with each other, causing the former to shake violently but in the end, the arrows were stopped despite their high penetrative force .

Although they were resisted, dark magic invaded the two half-broken scales and started weakening them bit by bit so the black turtle was forced to retaliate immediately, it controller another two scales which flew at the arrows and cut them in pieces in the blink of an eye, leaving Arthur momentarily startled as he didn’t know the scales were so powerful to the extent of being able to destroy these arrows .

Even the Vermillion Bird in its peak form can’t get rid of them this easily, this led Arthur to become much more cautious and attentive of this silent turtle .

’This tortoise is definitely the strongest but why is it so passive?’

As he was resisting the gravity magic, Arthur clenched his teeth and focused at the area just below the Azure dragon while mumbling

"Die for me!"

’[Blood for Blood]![Rizaki]!’
