Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 501

"F-Fenrir!"

The snake woman shrieked with a high pitch as she stared at the white wolf, bespectacled by the legendary creature’s sudden appearance . As she felt Fenrir’s domineering aura, she was able to link it with Saly but the latter’s was almost non-existent and she never thought that the small figure fighting her previously is actually a damned Fenrir!

No longer did she rage around trying to chase after Saly, she retracted her fiery aura and slowly backed away, unwilling to face the ginormous beast dominating the whole sky .

"This is actually..."

Gob-smacked, the oldest of the three monks stared at the white wolf with wide-open eyes and a frozen body, unable to believe what he was witnessing . After remaining at this shocked state for several seconds, he snapped out of it when an ear-splitting explosion was caused by the Fenrir, who used its body to bang on the brownish tentacle .

"Devotee, get yourself together! Amitabha!"

The monk’s thundering voice rang inside his comrade’s ears, making his body tremble and calming his wavering gaze and unsteady aura . As for the monk fighting Arthur, he was closer to Fenrir than the other two so he was more affected and in a much worse state . The beast’s mere presence was enough to crush the old man’s morale and cause him to fall on the ground, violently shaking from fear .

Though Fenrir’s wrath wasn’t directed at him, it was still hostile and it is dangerous even for Exalted Gods, moreso for Overgods .

Arthur and Lucy didn’t just sit by and watch, they tried to assist the Fenrir but were unsuccessful as the Fourth Wave and a 3rd Grade bullet shot by the revolver were sucked into a strange wormhole which surrounded the white wolf and the tentacle .

As for the Angel of Death, it was freed thanks to Saly’s interference . It tried to attack the large slithering ’python’ but it was flung back by the wormhole, which blocked everyone from joining the monstrous battle between two ancient and powerful entities .

Although it was but one tentacle, it was still resilient and tough to beat . The Fenrir slashed at the tentacle, taking some of its skin and causing terrifying wounds, however, it was also wounded in several places, mainly its front legs, which were bleeding excessively .

Seeing that they were unable to help their daughter, the couple shifted their attention to the praying monks . The best solution is to stop the monks’ prayers and let the red gate close on its own . Without the old men’s chanting and the use of the golden rope, the gate won’t have the support it needs and it’ll return where it came from .

An enlarged Makaze released a deafening roar as it started vibrating intensely in Arthur’s hands . The black flames covering it abruptly vanished and were replaced by a suffocating amount of Sword Essence, a multi-colored brilliance covered the edge of the dark blade and was ready to be unleashed .

This was the fifth wave of [Thousand Waves], an attack that cost too much Mental Power and energy and is exhausting to the boy, though, fortunately, Arthur became a Soul Parasite so the burden was halved, more or less .

’Fifth Wave, a rainbow after the rain, a song after the pain; Supernova!’

A seven-colored light covered Makaze then flowed toward Arthur, enveloping him whole then rotating around him like a whirlpool . Arthur slowly raised his dark blade toward the sky, splitting it in two and shattering the already turbulent space, causing the whole to turn into an absolute mess .

For a split second, the aura of light revolving around Arthur surpassed even of Fenrir, grabbing the monks’ attention . Unfortunately, the monk that was fighting him before stood between Arthur and his comrades, clearly planning to block the fifth wave .

Sadly, he didn’t take into account the true might of [Thousand Waves] and Lucy, who stood behind Arthur like a ghost and loaded the revolver with only one bullet, one stronger than most . The cost of firing this bullet is too much even for her absurdly tough physique, not only is the Mana requirement over the top, but also the amount of Mental Power needed is higher than her current pool which made the execution of this shot theoretically impossible .

It is at this time that her race comes shows its benefits... the white specter can transform, strengthening themselves, granting them immunity to spiritual damage, and slightly increasing their energy pool and, in Lucy’s case, her Mental Power too .

After several seconds, Arthur unleashed an unstoppable blast, blinding the red sky and spreading to all corners of the battlefield, freezing everyone and momentarily depleting them of their energies . This seven-colored light spun in the air as it made its way toward the praying monks only for an old man holding a strange-looking wooden staff to appear in its way, clearly intending to stop it . However, before he could do anything, Arthur activated [Assault of Darkness] and trapped the man in a separate world where he could do nothing but wait for the cooldown to pass, or so thought the caster .

After merely two seconds, a golden radiance split the world of darkness and revealed a monk with closed eyes and a shaking wooden staff . Just as he was about to raise his weapon and resist the incoming fifth wave, a white shadow came down from above and heavily crashed into the old man, pushing him away .

Before he could retaliate, the old man saw a vermilion bird join in and spit a sea of flames which quickly enveloped him and pushed him further down, rendering him unable to block the fifth wave in time .

His body became even more unstable when the Gravity suffered a drastic change, causing his body to plummet and crash into the ground . His limbs felt heavy and he felt a bit dizzy, when he tried to stand up, an Azure Dragon filled his view, opened its mouth and spat illusory red flames which melted the earth and burned his Taoist robe . As he was quite unprepared, the monk was thrashed by the interfering Divine Beast, which surprisingly weren’t stopped by the oddly quiet and unresponsive Katrina .

The Matriarch was looking the ferocious Fenrir, her eyes glued onto the wolf, seemingly thinking about something . She didn’t even notice the Divine Beasts’ actions or the battle between Arthur and the monk .

****

The spiraling fifth wave finally reached target and hit the two praying monks, enveloping the whole area in a blinding light and pushing away the clustering dark clouds and the making the floating gigantic red gate clearer than ever .

As for the two victims, they tightly held the golden rope and closed their eyes, repeatedly praying to their God and taking the blow head-on . If they were to get distracted or try to defend themselves, all the previous work they had done would go to waste .

The oldest of the monks was the strongest but even he was injured by the fifth wave as countless small bloody slashes appeared all over his body . As for the other monk, he was in a worse state as his abdomen was pierced by the seven-colored light and the agonizing pain caused by the spiraling light almost made him faint . Were it not for his strong will and unshakable belief, the monk would have fallen unconscious .

The fifth wave continued for a while before everything cleared up, showing two monks in bloody and tattered clothes, nonetheless, they were alive and still praying for Buddha . Just when Lucy was about to execute her attack, one of the chains wrapped around the red gate fell from above, clinging onto the corrupt earth, acting like some sort of a link between the two realms .
