Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 543

"We’re on time . "

The Joker cursed as he saw the flying trees and boulders, all getting sucked by the black hole at the center of Riarravar . Behind him, there stood ’X’ and the short pink haired Lolitta, who didn’t seem too bothered by the destruction around her .

"So? We go back?"

’X’ asked the frowning Joker, who raised his hand and crushed a card, causing the whole place to quieten, severely limiting the black hole’s monstrous absorption affecting the vicinities .

"No, he’ll be here in a bit . Let’s wait . "

The trio stood there, each one thinking of something while looking at the unrecognizable world which was turned into nothingness . However, what was surprising was the presence of some intact places, ones that even the black hole could not suck in .

One was a medium-sized colorful forest which was flying far away and the other was an underground golden city that seemed to be still functioning . The highest tower of the city was emitting blinding light which was being madly absorbed by the black hole . While this radiance was being sucked in, the city slowly moved further from the source of danger .

After less than a minute, a figure sprung from the surface of one of the flying boulders and jumped closer to the Joker and his party . He was a young man with a blond hear and handsome face that was very pale at the moment . His body was shaking and blood unceasingly leaked from his lips due to his injured and misplaced organs .

Vyncent looked at the Joker and co, not entering the protected area, seemingly hesitating . Seeing that the target finally showed himself, the Joker grinned and said:

"No need to fear, come here . "

Sadly, this only made him hesitate more, his feet rooted on the shaky ground . Seeing that his body was reaching his limit, Vyncent clutched the strange coin and glanced between the black hole and the Joker before finally choosing to march forward .

"So you came all the way here just for him?"

Displeased, ’X’ asked Wolfram as he found nothing special with Vyncent . It was then that he caught sight of the coin, which slightly surprised him but it still wasn’t good enough to explain the Joker’s desperate attempt to come here .

"Each person has a job in history, but, for it to be so, there needs someone to record it . As average as he may seen, apparently, he’s more resilient than the Nameless Knight . He’s lucky too . "

Just as Vyncent entered his sphere of protection, Lolitta and X joined hands and reopened the path, teleporting all of them out of this place .

Unlike a Spatial Tunnel, this path take more time but is much safer and tougher . As were going through what seemed to be an endless wormhole, an incoming silhouette suddenly appeared, stopping a few meters away from them .

’X’, Lolitta and the semi-conscious Vyncent didn’t recognize him but the Joker did . The usually nonchalant Magician was furrowing his brows and standing up straight, even unleashing his suffocating aura .

"My my, I almost thought you’re Tiarius but I guess he’s not someone to wear such... unique outfit . "

"What do you want?"

The Joker faced Timos, the brown-haired man, his face frowning and his hand holding three cards . The Black Devil raised his hand and retreated a few steps while explaining himself

"Wait, I did not come here to fight . I’m well aware that my power is inferior, nonetheless, I’m confident in my ability to escape unscathed . "

It was then that a shiny orb appeared from behind Timos, it had two opposite sides, one was affected by the Golden fire and the other by the condensed Yin power .

"That’s..."

The Joker gaped at the orb, immediately knowing what it is . He knew about its existence but no one knew who kept it before its birth, so such a revelation was truly a shock to the usually all-knowing Trickster .

"Never mind this . I’m more interested about that coin my humble guest just acquired . "

The man pointed at the coin in Vyncent’s hands . The artifact was releasing a light that pulsated like a heart, moreover, it seemed to be aiding Vyncent, whom it recognized as its new owner .

"What does an entity like you need with a mere soul-artifact . "

The Joker really could not understand Timos’ strange actions . Though the coin was strong, it wasn’t to the point of making one of the Twelve greedy about it, after all, there are many other artifacts way better than it .

He glanced at the injured youth then focused his eyes on the coin but even after using his personal appraisal, he couldn’t find anything special .

"It’s sort of a personal keepsake of a comrade of mine . "

"So, you want it back?"

The Joker walked in front of Vyncent and bent his back, ready to pounce at the Black Devil .

"No, just wanted a final look at it . After all, I believe it has fallen into the perfect hands, aren’t I right, my humble guest?"

The brown-haired man stared at Vyncent, his eyes seemingly able to see through anything and everything . The blond young man didn’t reply and only tightened his grip on the coin, clearly unwilling to hand it over .

************

On a small island somewhere in the Water Region, precisely in a peaceful forest devoid of any strong beasts, a skinny youth with a bronze skin was dragging a large coffin . He was following a map given by the blue-haired scary woman and doing exactly what she said .

It took him a while to find the cave and it was only taxing due to the heavy coffin, which was truly heavy . As he had promised, he didn’t question this task and didn’t even dare open whatever he was dragging .

His body, soaking with sweat, finally relaxed after he came face to face with a normal, empty cave . He warily entered it, inspected the gloomy interior before taking out a one-time use wand and drilling into the cold walls, doing as the Empress instructed .

Half a day later, he managed to drill a corridor which ended into a medium-sized room . For the next couple of days, he painted the door connecting the corridor to the room then dragged the coffin all the way inside .

The final touch was to put two extremely heavy chests at the corner of the room .

The reward was more than he could hope for, furthermore, he made a special oath to never speak of this matter to any soul, so, after completing everything, the young Jackob went back to his mother with a purse filled with gold coins .
