Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 279



Chapter 279

"That’s one gone, two more to go . "

Arthur smirked as he saw the falling black ashes of the deceased Vermillion Bird . He expected a huge powerup once the chains were broken, but the amount of power boost he just received is really inconceivable .

Although the matter of dying after 12 hours is still on his mind, he decided to ponder about that imminent problem later on, when the threat of the Divine Beasts is gone for good .

With the Vermillion Bird’s death, the other two became terrified as they shrieked and violently shook their bodies in an attempt to get away from this area .

Their fear of the thunder was really genuine, they didn’t even put up Arthur in their eyes for they were too focused on the red thunderbolts descending from above .

Fortunately for them, the tribulation seemed to ignore their existence completely, thus sparing them from the thunderbolts which could incinerate them whether they resisted or not .

The third round of thunderbolts was soon going to begin as purple thunder started twisting and roaring above Arthur . The dark clouds seemed to clear a large path for what appeared to be a celestial being coming to this plane .

Arthur still wasn’t fazed by this sight, he glanced at the cage of the thunder around him and waved his hand, hitting the back of his palm on the cage as if it was nothing .

The cage shook upon contact with his skin again but it didn’t shatter, contrary to his expectations . He withdrew his hand and used a simple palm attack on the cage, with this one containing a bit more force than his simple backslap from a second ago .

’CLACK CLACK!’

The cage just couldn’t handle it, it broke into thousands of small thunderbolts that his hand, dealing no damage and only causing him to feel a small itch, unremarkable in any way .

After he got rid of the cage, Arthur shifted his attention back to the descending heavenly figure, it was a humanoid silhouette made from pure red lightning, it wielded a purple spear that had white thunder twirling around it .

Without waiting for it to attack him or ready itself, Arthur made use of his new physique to charge at the enemy . With his new physical abilities, not only was his strength absurd, all his stats increased, including his Agility .

In terms of speed, he was unparalleled, his copy even said that he could literally rip apart space with his hands and immediately go to the Earth, this showcased how powerful he just became .

In less than even a split second, he appeared before the large figure, he clenched his fist and punched down without restraining any of his strength like earlier .

And just like that, the humanoid figure which was supposed to be able to suppress him was sent flying away with its body bent in a weird way, it couldn’t even retaliate since his speed was just something it couldn’t react to .

Arthur wasn’t done yet, he ripped the space with his hand and entered it, reappearing behind the flying humanoid figure . Without any slight hesitation, he kicked it hard on its back causing it to be pushed back yet again yet this time, white thunder descended from above, granting it some kind of a divine white armor .

Seeing this, Arthur snorted and appeared above it, he adjusted his stance and punched again yet this time, his fist emitted a faint green light that slowed the speed of his fist attack yet boosted its might and the pressure it emanated .

Before the fist could even reach its target, the space around them was shattered, resulting in a large spatial tear that threatened to devour them both .

The humanoid figure swept with its spear as it pushed itself away from the spatial tear, as for Arthur, he wasn’t affected by the pulling force of the tear .

He vanished again and got closer to the fleeing figure, the fist finally landed on the purple spear which was used to block, unfortunately, both the spear and the humanoid figure burst into countless lightning sparks upon contact with his fist .

The aftereffect of the fist-attack was nothing to scoff at about either, he used [Heavenly Mountain Fist], one of his strongest martial technique, coupled with his new physique, it’s to be expected that its might is this terrifying .

Destructive and unstoppable wind waves were unleashed from his fist as the pressure pressed down on the whole area, even Curtis was affected as he was pushed back a few hundred meters toward the abyss .

Luckily, the two Divine Beasts were too afraid to attempt anything in such a situation, they obediently let themselves be dragged with Curtis, falling down pitifully as they tried to avoid the descending red thunderbolts, which never ceased attacking the area around them .

"Annnnnd here comes the last treat!"

The copy seemed to be enjoying this as he mumbled happily when the humanoid figure was pummeled like a dog then dispersed into nothingness .

Above the dark clouds, a rumbling sound could be heard which was followed by an enormous handmade from pure purple thunder . The hand’s size was equal to the blooming rose from earlier if not bigger, it covered the whole area, forcing Curtis to finally withdraw as he let go the white chains and transformed into a golden light that entered Arthur’s chest .

The two Divine Beasts spat different mantra that looked similar to the one from before, however, these ones contained much more energy and were way brighter .

The two mantras fused together and became a rectangular blue shield that covered them both . The two of them didn’t dare move out of that area, afraid to be hit by the red thunderbolts or crashed by the big thunder hand .

As he stared at the threatening thunder hand, he frowned for a second before he cracked his knuckles and chuckled . He took a weird combat stance and pointed one palm to the ground and the other to the sky .

With his back bent and his eyes fixated on his target, he absorbed massive amounts of Nether Energy and directed them to his palm, which became golden .

His palm flashed with a bright radiance as it was no longer made from flesh but from pure gold . Slowly but surely, he pushed the golden palm to the sky, wanting to clash with the thunder hand .

An illusory golden palm similar to his appeared above him, it was too big in size and it steadily made its way to the sky . The descending thunderbolts had no effect on the golden palm as it became stronger the more distance it crossed .

This was none other than [Unparalelled Golden Palm] the 3rd Grade Heavenly Rank technique that Arthur mastered along with [Heavenly Mountain Fist] and [Raging Bronze Platform] .

When the two parties finally reached other, a huge explosive sound resounded in all that area . The red thunderbolts were deflected by the mere pressure and the dark clouds in the vicinity were pushed by the strong wind waves created by the impact .

Arthur pushed his palm, which was flashing with a blinding light, further into the sky, thus resulting in the illusory palm up above to push back the thunder hand and send it to the way it came from .
