Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 380

Both parties refused to move which resulted in a long silence . Arthur saw the visitor was still within the range of his map . As for the blind man, he didn’t dare to get close to Arthur’s room .

Moreover, his job was to find the murderer and not to kill him so risking his life just to chat isn’t worth it . An enigma like Arthur is someone to befriend rather provoke which is why he’s here instead of somewhere else, telling Athard the truth .

If possible, he even wanted to rope Arthur to Black Rose . His means are ruthless and fatal, to bring such a dangerous person to the organization would benefit him greatly .

The Black Rose organization didn’t need loyal people but to strong ones . If they want to join, they’re forced to swallow some kind of mechanical bug that will kill the person if breaks one of the rules . It’s dangerous but the rewards are plentiful and generous, unfortunately, they lack capable personnel so they’re always seeking candidates such as Arthur .

The old man wasn’t confident in convincing Arthur especially after seeing his cautious attitude . After an hour or so passed, the elder decided to back off . He still is unsure about Arthur’s strength and wanted to test him so he went to Athard .

...

"Are you sure?"

Athard’s eyes flashed with a murderous glint . He didn’t even try to hide his expression as he clenched his fists in rage . As for the blind old man, he soon excused himself without adding a single word .

He successfully completed his job and all that’s left is to watch from the sidelines .

The Patriarch didn’t waste any second as he went to meet the Grand Elder . Unlike him, Shu Ru’s grandfather was rather calm and composed even when he saw Athard unsightly expression .

"I found the bastard!"

Seeing the seriousness of Athard, the Grand Elder glanced at him and answered

"And who is it?"

"It’s the man your granddaughter brought . "

The Grand Elder didn’t seem particularly surprised as he nodded his head but said nothing . Athard became momentarily confused before glaring at the Grand Elder, clearly demanding an explanation .

"I’m still investigating his background . It’s better to remain still for now . "

"Why wait?! He cannot escape as long as he’s here . "

The old man frowned and retorted

"Are you sure about that? This time, Ru’er brought a tiger to our den... and not a docile one, at that . "

Athard wasn’t pleased with what he heard, he snorted and angrily left the room, clearly not agreeing to what the Grand Elder said .

Unfortunately, just as the Patriarch left, another figure appeared near the old man . He was wearing a dark cloak that covered his whole body, including his face .

He sat next to the old man and removed his hood then said

"I didn’t expect you to remember me, hahahaha"

As if he was still a child, the old man cheerfully took out exquisite golden leaves and began preparing tea from himself and the guest .

"Hehehe how can I not? Though you looked a bit different when we first met, I would never forget your Dark Magic . "

The man sitting beside the Grand Elder was the spitting image of Arthur . The only difference is his short grey hair and his healed eye . One more eye-catching thing is the two long black sheaths hanging on his waist .

"Enough with such a boring topic . How are things lately?"

The old man poured some of this calming tea to Arthur while chuckling

"I’m already one foot into the grave . I’m just spending the rest of my days in relaxation . "

After sipping some of the hot tea and enjoying its flavor, Arthur stared at the Grand Elder and said:

"You’re as energetic as ever, how can you have one foot in the grave . Back when we first met, you were a crybaby yet here you are trying to be wise hahaha"

The old man coughed a few times in embarrassment and quickly changed the topic . The two talked for a long time before Arthur suddenly looked to the roof and furrowed his brows .

Noticing this, the old man was about to say something when he suddenly felt chills ran down his spines . The colorful room they were in transformed into a mix of black and white as three malevolent things appeared from nothingness .

With transparent bodies and decaying flesh, their appearance was creepy and grotesque as their upper body resembled a rotten corpse and the lower part was similar to a ghost .

"Tsk!"

Arthur clicked his tongue and vanished almost instantaneously . He was left with no choice but to hastily leave this place . The Grand Elder and didn’t know what’s going on, only when his heart calmed down did he notice that his friend left .

...

A few days later, on the base of a sky-high mountain, precisely inside a beautiful courtyard that was usually empty, Losha was scolding Lucy, who was silently meditating .

Five lotuses span around her and every time she tried to form the sixth one, she would fail and receive the berating of her temporary master .

She had advanced in her Nine Star Yin technique in such a short time and her control over her Physique significantly rose but Losha wasn’t pleased and continued to train her day and night .

At the top of this mountain which was actually floating above the clouds, there stood a dark-cloaked man who stared at the two women in silence .

He was motionless and shrouded in darkness, unable to be seen .

"Continue to circulate your Mana, first the fingers, hands, arms . Be precise!"

Losha turned around and left the courtyard, leaving Lucy, who never protested and meticulously trained .

A few moments later, Losha appeared a distance away from the figure at the peak of the mountain . She looked around her, searching for something .

"I don’t know who you are but if you don’t scram then I-"

Before she could finish, something occurred a few meters away from her . Ominous darkness appeared out of nowhere and from within it appeared a cloaked man .

Since he had his hood down, Losha recognized him the moment she laid eyes on him .

"You are... Arthur?"

She intensely stared him and although the appearance was similar, the aura was totally different . In fact, she felt threatened by his presence, unlike their last meeting .

"Indeed, you’re really strong . "

Commented Arthur as he inspected Losha .

Losha wanted to ask him what’s he doing here but her expression drastically changed as she seemed to sense something .

She looked at the grey sky and spoke with a grave tone

"This feeling... it’s Time Wraiths! You time traveled?"

"Hahaha you can never fool a reincarnator . "

Arthur smiled and then resumed talked after a momentary pause

"You’re doomed . "

Losha said those words as if they were an absolute fact . Her expression became a bit strange as she stared back at him .

"I need you to go somewhere and protect it until I come back . "

Before she could talk, Arthur added:

"No need to argue or refuse, farewell . "

He threw a letter and a scroll at her, the woman unconsciously caught them and only after he disappeared, leaving a bloodied arm on the grand did she snap out of her daze .

He wasn’t attacked but intentionally left it as a second later, Time Wraiths appeared and leapt at the bloody arm, sucking everything out of it until it turned into black ash that dispersed soon after .

The thing that dumbfounded her was the scroll which was actually a Fate Contract . Moreover, she signed it herself which means she agreed to follow the conditions .

After thoroughly checking the contract she read the contents of the letter and became more flabbergasted .

...

Arthur remained inside his room for a few more days before finally leaving it . He transformed the Dark Cloud into a clone identical to him and possessed a rotten corpse of a rat before drilling into the groom and leaving the capital . His destination was the Mountain Ba sword sect .

He needs to meet with Jian Si and inquire about the missing prince and princess . They had to be kidnapped by someone and with her status, finding them shouldn’t be that difficult, especially after giving her enough time to do so .

Arthur went unnoticed as he left the Mirage Era Hall Sect and kept traveling underground until he arrived at the mountain range belonging to Cold Sword’s sect .

His Stealth skills are unparalleled to the point that even a God Monarch would have difficulties finding him . With the Space Bender title and his maxed Stealth skills, it’ll be pretty much impossible to attract attention unless done purposely .
