Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 490

"Look at you, how are you any different from an abomination?"

As she saw his transformation, Katrina uttered those words and grabbed the incoming halberd . She waved her hand and sent both Radolf and his weapon crashing into the ground, her actions were swift and seemed extremely natural as if she was blocking a punch from a baby rather than a deadly strike a creature of death .

Arthur ignored his ’mother-in-law’ and spread his wings, one jet black like a bat’s and the other majestic and pure white like an angel’s . With Makaze in his hand, Arthur vanished from his spot and appeared before his opponent .

He used the dark blade to stab her and despite her late reaction, the tip of Evil Wind was resisted by the white flames, which automatically moved on its own to protect its owner .

Like a ghost, Arthur disappeared against and attack from the behind but his attack was once against resisted . Nonetheless, he kept attacking from all sides, his speed so fast that not even an Exalted God was able to follow him with her eyes .

As he swung down the whistling dark blade, Radolf joined in and used his rotten hand to absorb a portion of the white flames, creating a small opening for his master .

Arthur successfully grasped this opportunity and managed to slash Katrina . Though the blade cut her clothes and touched her skin, it still didn’t cause any blood to come out . Makaze was one of the sharpest blades that ever existed but the huge disparity in cultivation allowed her to remain unscathed even after being slashed down .

She has a Celestial Body which is coated by a pure and dense amount of Nether Energy, so, to injure her, simply relying on continuous slashes won’t cut it .

As Arthur vanished again, disappearing from the Matriarch’s sight, she clutched the air and pulled, causing the space to distort and pushing away the missing Arthur and Radolf . Both were flung dozens of meters away, unable to resist the sudden shift in the space fabric .

She was merely using her high cultivation to launch simple attacks yet they were effective and dangerous, to say the least . Unexpectedly, Katrina was suddenly sent flying and crashed into the ground .

A small bloody wound appeared on her back, indicating that Arthur’s previous blow was effective .

Actually, the one who injured her wasn’t Arthur but Midolf, who went through the gap opened by Radolf and used his wind abilities to attack . He waited for her to counterattack and initiated and successful sneak-attack .

Arthur’s different-colored wings started flapping at a rapid pace and emanating a grey and white auras which merged together and formed a strange whirlpool which slowly closed in on Katrina .

Out of the blue, the woman released an ear-deafening screech just like earlier, however, this one was damaging . The sound waves were potent, shaking the ground and causing Radolf and Arthur to bleed from their ears and feel slightly dizzy .

Radolf’s body became unstable as he fell on one knee and held his head, however, Arthur’s managed to resist this ’stun debuff’ thanks to the passives he gained from possessing the White Tiger .

Fortunately, her screeching was cut short and a black cube rose from the ground and trapped her inside, blocking the spreading sound waves . The Quad-Spirit was aware that one cube wasn’t nearly enough so it continuously conjured several cubes layered on top of each other .

Moreover, as if it read his thoughts, the spirit opened a gap for Arthur to unleash one of his ultimate skills, Rizaki .

He appeared before this minuscule gap and immediately used [Assault of Darkness] then activated a Rizaki that was fueled by the Vermilion Bird’s flames .

[Assault of Darkness] would trap the target in a world of darkness for 10 seconds, however, considering the difference between the caster and the target, it’ll only last for two or three seconds at most .

Those three long seconds quietly passed and when Katrina was freed from that skill, she saw a very small speck of red light that was emitting dangerous heat .

Before she could free or get rid of it, the speck of red light exploded, shattering the layered black cubes and pushing Arthur and Radolf a couple of hundred meters .

It was like a firework show as the orange flames rose to the sky and spread to all directions like a raging sea . The clouds were dispersed and the sky turned red, furthermore, you could see an enormous crater at the very center of the explosion .

Standing at the center of the crater was a single silhouette, covered in orange and white flames . The orange flames lasted only for a few seconds before they were overpowered by Katrina’s fire, nonetheless, some of her clothes were burned and her usually snow-white skin was a bit blackened .

While Katrina was getting rid of the remnant fire resulted from Rizaki, Arthur disappeared from the area and in just a matter of seconds, traveled all around the battlefield, throwing what seemed to be over-sized gas bombs .

The gas bombs exploded in the air and transformed into a green fog that covered the whole place . In less than a minute, this fog started showing pleasant results as the white specters were weakened and started coughing a bit of blood .

Though the effects of these gas bombs were minimal, any slight distraction would cause to one’s death in such a bloody battle . Plus, the undead had the advantage in number and they could fight for days so it was only a matter of time before all the white specters are wiped .

Up to this moment, six hundred white specters were killed, which is not a big number considering that more than 25 million skeletons were defeated .

The stronger white specter could obliterate thousands of the normal skeletons in one sweep so it is not surprising to see such Arthur’s army suffer such a big loss, nevertheless, the Divine Beasts are still here and there are much, much more skeletons still ’alive’ and kicking .

*****

After throwing the bombs, Arthur was planning to return to Katrina only to stop flying and raise a Dark Barrier . He used [Faster Than Death] while leaving a Shadow Clone in his original position . His instantaneous reaction to the incoming danger was spot on as the Shadow Clone was engulfed in white flames and vanished a second later .

Relying on his fast speed, Arthur was about to distance himself only for a suffocating pressure to immobilize him . Katrina appeared before him and was about to grab him only for thick black chains to appear from within Arthur’s chest and attempt to hit her the enemy .

Sadly, the chains were crushed by her ever-increasing pressure, however, it wasn’t the end as a large double-headed lizard came flying from the back and hit the Matriarch .

In response, she used one hand to completely stop Radolf’s charge then she kicked him, shattering many of his bones . Growing annoyed by him, Katrina raised her hand and faced her palm toward the falling mythical beings, trying to kill him once and for all .

A beam of red light emitted from her palm and went straight at Radolf but when it was just about hit him, an invisible gale of wind appeared in between the two and diverted the beam’s direction with great difficulty .

Midolf, who faced the beam head-on, was also flung away, however, he quickly regained his senses and started healing himself as the red beam contained some sort of malicious kind of energy which was rapidly spreading inside all of his body, aiming straight at his vital spots .

After getting rid of the two annoying defenders, Katrina turned her head toward Arthur, who didn’t seem too anxious despite being bound by her .

"When I learned that you’re alive, I could’ve given chase but I didn’t, do you know why?"

Arthur chuckled and replied:

"Look around you, are you really in a position to be this bossy?"

He glanced at the residential area of the clan, which turned into a mess as half of it suck underground and the other half was hit by the flame Rizaki and received much collateral damage .

Katrina kept staring at him and raised her hand and swung down, clearly about to stab his chest . She didn’t want to kill him but to destroy his cultivation by shattering his Dantian and ripping his Meridians .

Just as she was about to do that, Arthur said

"Stop . "

Unexpectedly, her hand stopped mid-way but it wasn’t because she listened to his words . In fact, Katrina found herself unwillingly obeying his order . It was an uncontrollable thing, the unique power of the dragons; Dragons words .

It is like Pride’s ability yet different, and the good thing about it is that it works on almost anyone . If a mortal had a strong mental power, he could subdue an Overgod with just dragon words, however, no mortal could use this ability, after all, it is only meant for dragons . Though, Arthur is an exception since he’s a parasite .
