Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 680: 680

"Umm, Senior, where are you heading to?"

Alda hesitantly approached the quiet Lucy and asked after mustering her courage for more than an hour . It has been six hours since the Retour Poisson started diving deep into the Rose Sea and, a few minutes ago, they reached the 1,000-kilometer mark .

It will soon start getting dangerous and the sea monsters are very active here and empowered by the Rose Sea, making them a threat even to the Overgod .

Actually, despite their bad encounters, Alda felt relieved that someone as strong as Lucy was accompanying them . If things turn for the worse and a sea king appears, she was sure that the silver-haired woman will take care of it .

"Don’t mind us . "

Lucy spat those three words before proceeding to ignore Alda and gaze at Arthur . The black flames were sometimes subduing and other times rising three to four meters above, even breaking through the fish’s translucent barrier but, fortunately, not affecting it .

"Alda!"

Karol, one of Alda’s companion and, apparently, the youngest out of all the group, loudly shrieked as she pointed at the front of the Retour Poisson . A large black silhouette made its abrupt appearance, its size was twice of the diving fish and it was heading straight at them .

Without any delay, the Overgod grasped his one-handed hammer and left the barrier . He appeared in front of the gigantic monster within seconds . His weapon glowed with a blue light as it slowly struck the monster, which became more visible now that it got closer .

It slightly resembled a star fish but its skin was sticky brown and it even had a hideous face that would cause anyone to have nightmares . The Overgod showed no fear as he struck with his hammer, dealing a strong blow which pushed the monster and dyed the waters with black blood .

Sadly, the Overgod can’t stay outside of the barrier for long so he was forced to retreat after that one blow, nevertheless, that starfish-like monster didn’t return and just watched them from a distance before disappearing .

...

"H-hey Alda..."

Peter, a youth in her group, softly nudged her sleeve to grab her attention . As she turned to face him, the young man hesitantly said,

"I think I know who she is . "

Alda knew that Peter was talking about Lucy so she carefully listened to him .

"I’ve seen a recording of the war between the White Specters and the Undead... she’s Eva, or Lucy . If my guess is true then that man is the parasite Arthur MoonStar . "

The moment she heard that, Alda had a realization, after all, Arthur and Lucy are quite famous in the Cloud Sea Universe . The Undead army which marched on the Divine Planet is still remembered by both its inhabitants and the other realms and planets .

’That explains how he transformed into the White Tiger . ’

Alda called for the Overgod and asked him with a very low voice .

"Weren’t Lucy and Arthur MoonStar banished to Riarravar?"

"That’s old news . It wasn’t long go that the white specter raided the capital and saved that Lightning wolf . There also has been sighting of them in the Red Tower . Why are you asking about the-"

The Overgod blocked his mouth and glanced at Lucy, also coming to a revelation .

"It’s a good thing we didn’t befriend them... they have a lot of enemies!"

Hearing this, Alda was still convinced that being on the couple’s good side is better than maintaining a passive approach like right now, however, Lucy left no room for talking and was wholly focused on the unconscious parasite .

A few more hours passed and each time a monster had appeared, it was swiftly taken care of by the Overgod but, as the pressure of the water drastically increased, the Retour Poisson’s speed was way too slow .

It has been 14 hours since their departure and they only dove 1,250 kilometers, which is a good place to search for lost artifacts and treasures . Furthermore, a Sea King finally made its appearance, causing the big fish to freeze and start shaking like leaf .

Even the barrier was going on and off, alarming the passengers . The Overgod tried to attack the Sea King but his attack literally bounced off the creature’s skin .

"Senior, please help . "

Alda walked toward Lucy, bowed body ninety degrees, and patiently waited to Lucy to reply . Auspiciously, the silver-haired woman didn’t disappoint .

Her figure blurred and vanished from aboard the Retour Poisson, appearing dozens of meters in front of the Sea King .

The monstrosity looked like a shark with big and small green circles covering its whole body . Its size was comparable to the Divine Beasts and its aura was domineering, to say the least .

The White Specter stood before the Sea King, nine crystalline ice lotuses spun around her, temporarily blocking the Rose Sea’s mental effect and the water’s pressure .

Lucy didn’t try to show off or waste time, her figure flashed with blue light before two of the lotuses slowly bloomed and in a few breaths time, the sharp was turned into a block of ice, which was swiftly stored in her ring .

This one-sided battle made Alda and the rest gawk, their pupils constricted and mouths half-open . They only sobered up when the Retour Poisson regained its senses and continued diving at a slow pace .

This astonishing happened two more times, no different than the first one . Lucy would appear before the Sea King and freeze using the crystalline lotuses . It appeared so natural and worry-free, which even made Peter and Karol start to admire the White Specter .

On the other side, The Overgod was certain that Lucy was at least at the Exalted God Realm . He couldn’t even see her dash at the Sea King, it seemed more like a teleportation .

Ten minutes after Lucy disposed of the third Sea King, an unstoppable current came from above and pulled the Retour Poisson with it . While Lucy frowned, Alda and the rest were overjoyed as if they were expecting it, or rather, hoping for it to appear .

"What’s going on?"

Hearing the woman’s chilling voice, Alda’s body twitched for a second before she replied .

"Senior, this is a rare current which leads to a secret Realm hidden called the Vow of the Rose Sea . It’s our destination..."

She hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Actually, Senior, we’re looking for an artifact that fell in that Realm in the past . "

’The Vow of the Rose Sea?’

Lucy had never heard of that secret Realm and it didn’t seem like Timos’ world but, as she doesn’t know where the Dark Blade is, it’s safe to assume that it’s hidden in a dangerous place .

Moreover, the black flames covering Arthur were getting more intense right when the current arrived so she didn’t object Alda’s decision to let the Retour Poisson get pulled away to an unknown place .
