Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 681



Chapter 681

The Retour Poisson didn’t escape unharmed by the violent current, parts of its scales were shattered and even bits of flesh were slashed by tiny invisible blades, nevertheless, it managed to resist until they reached what seemed to be their destination, however, they weren’t alone .

Close to twenty Retour Poissons, of all shapes, colors, and sizes, were floating in the deep waters motionlessly . Aboard each of them, there was either a group of cultivators or players and, surprisingly, one of them was familiar to Lucy, who creased her brows as she cast a long glance at their leader .

She wore plain black cotton clothes under a long azure robe . Her long black hair fell on her shoulders and her abyssal pupils emitted an abnormal amount of suffocating killing intent . She was the new master of the Mountain Ba Sword Sect as well as Arthur’s student, Jian Si, also known as, Cold Sword .

She matured a bit and her cultivation had risen to the peak of the Sovereign Realm . She managed to best all her peers and with the help of the teachings Arthur left her along with her clan’s efforts, she became an indisputable expert in swordsmanship .

Her cultivation may seem low compared to the people present here but none dared to look down at her, after all, when Lucy and Arthur were inside the Red Tower, this girl had single-handedly slaughtered a group of God Monarchs on her own, gaining more infamy than ever .

Noticing spine-chilling gaze fall on her, Jian Si turned her head to the size and focused on one of the smaller fish only for her pupils to constrict . Only after a few seconds did she snap out of it and command her fish to get closer . Cold Sword quickly confirmed Lucy’s identity and didn’t try to ignore her, after all, they were never enemies .

Lucy never looked favorably at other women close to Arthur but it was clear that Jian Si was wholly focused on the way of the sword and never had ulterior motives, moreover, she accompanied her to that mountain where Arthur was going to reincarnate .

"Lucy?"

"Mhm . "

With her hands crossed, Lucy nodded her head as she stared back at the black-haired girl with a red sword on her back . Including Jian Si, there were five more people on clan master’s Retour Poisson .

One of them was the Grand Elder of her clan and the strongest person . He just reached the Overgod Realm and he and Cold Sword allowed the Mountain Ba Sword Sect to become the number one power in Green-Leaf, excluding the kingdom, of course .

"What’s wrong with Master?"

Jian Si jumped aboard Alda’s Retour Poisson, startling her but as she the former seemed to be friends with Lucy, she kept her silence and didn’t interfere, nonetheless, the clan master’s sudden action did harbor the attention of the other groups, making them pay more attention to Lucy and the unconscious Arthur covered in ominous black flames .

In less than five minutes, almost all the cultivators and players learned of their identities but no one tried to provoke them as Lucy and Arthur’s prowess and vindictiveness are very well known .

"It’s a bit complicated to explain . What brought you here?"

"I’m just bringing my clan members to the secret Realm so they can explore it and, hopefully, chance upon good artifacts . "

Jian Si gave a brief reply before stepping closer to Arthur only to be stopped by Lucy, who held wrist and pulled her back .

"It’s dangerous . "

The girl eyed her master for a bit before casting a sound-isolating barrier then asking again, "Aren’t those the flames belonging to master’s blade?"

"Yes, we’re here to retrieve it . "

"Do you need my help?"

In response, Lucy softly smiled and shook her head .

"No need, I can manage . "

Jian Si didn’t insist and, instead, looked at Alda and the rest .

"Who are they? I don’t recognize their sect emblem . "

Cold Sword looked at the unfamiliar symbol on Alda’s clothes, which had the shape of a sun with a hammer in its center .

"No idea too . Arthur has our Retour Poisson so I had to tag along with them . "

Jian Si examined Alda and the rest one more time before speaking again .

"They look shifty as hell . Wanna come with me?"

"Sure . "

Lucy accepted the proposal almost immediately . Traveling with Jian Si is much safer, furthermore, her Retour Poisson seemed much bigger and better . In case she needs to dive in deeper into the Rose Sea, the fish will do a better job than Alda’s, for sure .

The White Specter casually nodded at Alda before taking Arthur’s body and leaving the Retour Poisson . The short Over God was a bit relieved that the two calamities were gone but also slightly depressed that they couldn’t build a friendly relationship .

...

The Vow of the Rose Sea, which a secret Realm accessible only through the random current that appeared deep into the pink-colored waters, is a small world riddled with all kinds of dangerous monsters and rare magical herbs .

In terms of appearance, it looked no different than a big mountain range which circled around a pair of wide valleys filled with rose and red roses which made them look breathtaking .

The mountains looked similar, as if they were a copy of one another . Their peak was shrouded by a red cloud and their base was filled with a sea of broken and ancient bones .

Lucy, Jian Si, and the rest, appeared somewhere in the first valley . Upon their arrival, an earth-shaking roar resounded near them and a massive six-legged griffin leapt at them .

Sadly for the monster, before it was able to finish its sudden attack, its forehead was shot by Lucy’s revolver . The Mana-filled bullet went through the monster’s head and killed it on the spot, causing its body to lifelessly plummet next to the group .

The young disciples were scared out of their wits but Jian Si was only impressed and itching for a fight, not against Lucy, of course .

"There may be another secret Realm in here, I think that’s where Makaze is . "

Lucy speculated as she admired the surroundings . The black flames enveloping Arthur took the shape of big dark blade stabbing his chest . They were slowly becoming more condensed and the aura they emitted was stretching further, causing all the weak-willed ones to keep a moderate distance from the unconscious parasite .

"I think that’s the case too . We’ll split up and look for it . "

Jian Si agreed with the specter then faced her juniors and instructed them to accompany the Grand Elder and carefully explore the outer-region of the two valleys, which is much safer for those with low cultivation .

That six-legged Griffin was a peak God Beast and its presence here meant that they are in the Inner-region of the two valleys . Although this place is a secret Realm, they way to reach it isn’t particularly hard so there were a lot of information about it... like the monsters that inhabit it, the type of herbs you can find... hidden tombs and so on .

...

Lucy had to carry Arthur with her so she didn’t fly around or run at full speed for fear of injuring her husband . Nevertheless, her senses were on high alert and none of the monsters was able to get within two hundred meters of her, however, that was about to change very soon .

Less than ten minutes after her separation from Jian Si, Lucy was ambushed by a masked man . He was different than the cultivators she had seen outside, he looked and felt strong and his intention was clear from the start .

"Hello there, Lucy MoonStar-" He briefly paused as he glanced at Arthur, " . . . and Arthur MoonStar . "

"You are?"

"Ah! Pardon my late introduction . "

He politely bowed toward Lucy but, at that very exact moment, an ear-piercing gunshot resounded in the area . The man hastily jumped back and took out a small round shield, which was able to block the second bullet .

Despite resisting her second bullet, it was still not able to defend its aftereffects . A dark and spiky web made of Dark Magic burst from the frozen bullet . The web bypassed the round shield and attempted to trap the masked man but he managed to escape, though his shield had to be discarded as a portion of the dark magic had touched it .

He seemed to be aware of the dark magic’s effect and was very unwilling to let it touch him .

"Haha please let me finish . I am the Purple Seat of Debauchery . "

"I don’t care!"

An illusory white tail and long ears appeared on Lucy, both of her eyes were covered in white flames and one of them was pulsating with a blue light .

Her form distorted before it reappared before the masked man, who crossed his arm to block her punch but, to his surprise, the force behind her was simply monstrous . His body was sent flying like a kite, leaving a trail of blood behind .

He had gravely underestimated her physical strength and ended up suffering a lot . Lucy rarely engages in close-combat so very little was known about her stats .

"We’re not enemies!"

The man spat some blood, wiped his lips before looking at Lucy with a strange expression that contained both curiosity and fear . He was confident in his abilities but the disparity was just too big so he gave up mid-way .

"I am from Black Rose!"

"And?"

Lucy raised her hand again, a miniature golden sun was slowly raising to the sky and emitting an alarming heat . Seeing this, the masked man clicked his tongue, turned around and fled like a startled bird .

Only after making sure he was really gone did Lucy retract the golden sun and return next to Arthur, who was protected by her Nine Lotuses and a wall of her unique fusion flame .

She had to fight that masked man while spending Mana on her fusion flame and the nine lotuses, which was costly but necessary to guarantee his safety .
