Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 364

The deeper the duo advanced, the fewer monsters they encountered . Shu Ru had some sort of a technique that practically made her invisible to these God-Beasts and Lucy simply relied on the separate dimension Arthur created earlier .

.

The two women didn’t converse at all except for the short exchange when they met . The younger one would glance at Lucy a few times in curiosity but she ended keeping her thoughts to herself .

Arthur was assured as he felt the Orb giving stronger signals which meant they were getting closer to the Book of Life . At some point in their kind of awkward trip, they no longer sensed or saw any God Beast as if they were avoiding this place . Instead of the normal strong monsters, there appeared a new kind of monsters, a very grotesque and scary-looking white monsters . With distorted human faces and tall arms and legs, they resembled no human or beast, they were literally monstrosities .

These entities were called White Spawns and just like with a place full of Darkness Energy, they appeared due to the over-abundance of Light Energy in this area .

They weren’t particularly strong compared to the God Beasts, however, they were numerous and their attacks literally suck the life of their targets .

More precisely, they suck whatever energy is residing inside their target thus depriving them of their strength and killing them in the process .

Unlike the God Beasts, these White Spaws noticed Shu Ru almost immediately but paid no heed to Lucy, obviously because she couldn’t be seen nor sensed .

At first, the girl had to fight for herself and had no problem eliminating most of the White Spaws but the further they trod, the more variations of White Spawns appeared . Some only had eyes while others had just two legs and one largemouth .

Shu Ru didn’t use all of her strength for obvious reasons and merely relied on her special physique, which was more than enough at the beginning but when the big heads started appearing left and right, she started getting small bruises .

Through Lucy, Arthur intervened to smoothen the trip and get rid of the White Spaws . The Tri-Spirit inside his consciousness was awakened and got to work almost immediately .

The nearby White Spaws, which were charging at Shu Ru, suddenly froze before attempting to flee only to be killed in a split second . An ominous and chilling wave of darkness covered the area around them; slaughtering the White Spawns and forcing the nearby ones to turn around and swiftly flee .

"Ha! Some say Light counters Darkness and Water extinguishes Fire but those are primitive claims . While some of it is indeed true, Light and Darkness are opposing Attributes but that doesn’t mean a Light-wielding individual will defeat a Darkness-wielding opponent, while, of course, they are equal in terms of prowess . Not every water can be vaporized and not every fire can be extinguished . "

Claud declared in exasperation while staring at the fleeing White Spaws . From the expression on his face, it was clear he bore no good will to these unsightly creatures .

Back outside, Shu Ru, who witnessed the death of the White Spaws and the complete darkness that enveloped her and Lucy, remained motionless and speechless for a few seconds . No matter how much she pondered, she never thought Lucy could wield such a strong Darkness-Attribute . As she looked at jet black ground and trees, she blinked her eyes and tried activating her physique to resist some of the Darkness but she discovered that she became extremely weakened .

What Arthur released was merely Darkness and not Dark Magic . He didn’t know if Shu Ru knew about Zodiak and his power but it’s better to be safe then sorry . Although Darkness-users are rare, more often than not, being eccentric or have a cold or evil behavior .

Shu Ru began feeling a tinge of fear as she noticed the immeasurable disparity between her and Lucy . Though she had the means to eradicate them quite fast, that didn’t mean she could do it as easily as Lucy .

Unfortunately, she didn’t know the whole truth . Lucy never did a thing, it was Arthur’s doing all along . With the darkness that blocked the light and scared the White Spaws, the two females continued their short journey .

An hour or so later, they arrived at what seemed to be their destination . Amidst the greenery of the place, there was some kind of a palace with tall white stars . Everything seemed out of place as if they were just put here randomly . There was an absence of White Spawns but just in front of the stairs, there was a peculiar White Spawn . It wasn’t as ugly as the rest, in fact, it bore a resemblance to Angels with its pair of white wings .

It had a small shield on its right hand and a one-handed sword on its left . White armor and white skin, even its pupils were white . As the two women approached it, it abruptly awakened and directed its gaze toward them . From its initial kneeling position, it slowly got up and prepared itself for the upcoming fight .

*Innocence, Light Keeper . (Race: None): Little Sovereign

Age : ????

Emotion : None

Skills : Punish [IV] / Vision Wave / Light Surge

Short Description : An entity born from Light Energy . It has no emotions and its only reason to exist is to continuously suck energy from living beings . It is a rank above normal White Spawns .

As he read the details of Appraisal, Arthur was momentarily confused as it’s not the thing that’s emitting Yin Energy . For such an entity to exist is surprising as no one ever mentioned that a Sovereign was in the Wicked Forest . Though the Green-Leaf World had no lack of Sovereigns, that doesn’t mean they’re found everywhere .

Nonetheless, dealing with Innocence wasn’t going to be that much of a problem . Shu Ru may find difficulties defeating it but for Lucy, erasing it from existence is a simple task .

Shu Ru nervously stared at Innocence, her eyes glowed with purple light . She retrieved a relatively long bow from her storage and readied herself for battle .

As Innocence had a higher Realm than her, she couldn’t pinpoint its exact Grade but she never that whatever was in front of her was definitely a Sovereign .

The Light Keeper wasn’t going to wait for them to attack, it vertically raised its sword and swung down or so it should have been . Unfortunately for Innocence, just as it raised its hand, Lucy began her assault .

The area around them, which was composed of either greenery or stairs, was turned into ice in a split second . Before Shu Ru or the enemy could react, the battle has ended with just a raise of a hand .

Innocence turned into a frozen statue which began to crack only for the ice to harden thus negating the Light Keeper’s pointless resistance .

With stats like hers, Sovereigns were nothing to Lucy . Simply using her Yin powers, which belonged to her Physique, was enough to deal with a Little Sovereign . She would only become serious if her opponent was something above the Sovereign Realm .

Lucy put down her raised hand and resumed walking toward the stairs without minding the shockerd Shu Ru, who quickly followed her after snapping out of her daze .
