Once Human, Now a Parasite Chapter 278

Chapter 278

In the Green-Leaf World, the fight between the big factions and the Divine Beast has ended rather quickly thanks to the union of several powerful individuals . Just like Arthur said, the wasteland was the target of the Divine Beasts this time, Kang Amidel was wise enough to believe him, he took the appropriate measure and even requested help from other powers and from the main branch of the Kang Family .

No one was heavily injured and the fight went pretty smoothly, they appeared in the center of a desolate mountain range where no life resides, so despite the obliteration of the place due to the fight, no souls were lost .

As Kang Amidel was flying back to his city along with two blue-robbed elders that emitted an aura much more powerful than him, dark clouds that emitted loud thunderclaps pa.s.sed by them in an unimaginable speed .

They could only see red lightning way up above along with cl.u.s.tered Dark Clouds that blocked the light of the day and brought with it a strong pressure that forced the three of them to the ground .

The red thunder a.s.saulted the whole Green-Leaf world whilst the main clouds of the tribulation remained in the wasteland for a moment before they warped somewhere else . Although the main dark clouds were gone, thunder still eradicated many hidden monsters and caused a wave of shock, fear, and unease to the inhabitant of this world, especially the ones living in the wasteland .

"T-this is . . . "

One of the elders, who had disheveled hair and a pale face looked at the thunderbolts with surprise and fear .

"It's definitely the Celestial Tribulations from the ancient records! We must inform the headquarters!"

They didn't even wait for Amidel before they got up and headed East, wanting to deliver this important piece of information as fast as possible .

Amidel remained standing on the ground, gazing at the direction where the strange dark clouds headed . He speculated that the appearance of the Divine Beasts and the Celestial Tribulation had definitely something to do with each other .

"It's heading toward the Pigolo Tribe?"

A frown appeared on the confused face of Amidel, he knew the Pigolos very well and from his knowledge, they do not have a prodigious youth or a heaven-defying artifact that force the Celestial Tribulation to appear .

. . .

The bolts descending around Arthur became thicker in size and much more numerous . The thunderclaps were loud, almost ear-deafening and the pressure reached a point where even a soul ent.i.ty such as Curtis was affected . His thick white chains were trembling violently as if they were going to split in two .

Fortunately, the Divine Beasts were in no better position too, their bodies were pressed down and they were incapable of movement, much less attack Arthur .

Their attention was wholly focused on the falling red thunder, which didn't hit any of them and merely focused on the small area around Arthur .

On the other hand, Arthur was feeling rejuvenated, power surging in all of his muscles, the pressure coming from above wasn't affecting him .

It was as if he was being given a heavenly ma.s.sage, he was feeling extremely relaxed and calm-minded . The mental stress was gone, the dizziness vanished for good and the heaviness of his body became an unusual lightness that made him feel similar to a floating feather .

It has already been two minutes since the red thunder appeared, Arthur's body emitted a loud bone cracking noise as he finally took a step . With just one step, the spatial tears in the areas intensified yet due to the tribulations, they seemed to only appear a few hundred miles away .

The falling thunder transformed into a rain of red thunderbolts, the sight was similar to a thick cage of thunderbolts that imprisoned him, leaving him with no choice but to face it head-on .

Just when the cage appeared, another batch of dark clouds that were visibly different from the rest appeared above Arthur . They covered more than half of the Central Continent and let out thunderbolts that were actually red and purple in color . The latter seemed to be on a whole other level, it was three times the thickness of the red one and it seemed to even affect the environment, meaning that it scorched trees and split mountains .

"With a physical body like this, no wonder the Heavens will be angry . "

The Copy didn't seem as panicked as before, not even the Celestial Tribulations made him worried as Arthur's body became something that even the Heavens are jealous of .

"Though, what's troubling is the number of people that will be looking for you . "

Arthur didn't comment as he raised his head, looking toward the dark clouds and the thunderbolts that were forming .

'CLAP'

A thick bolt of red thunder came cras.h.i.+ng down at him, Arthur merely raised his palm to meet it, which was more than effective as the thunderbolt dispersed upon contact with his skin .

It became countless little red sparks that disappeared right after, however, this was but the beginning and nine more thunderbolts. .h.i.t him, consecutively with a one second period separating each one of them .

Arthur couldn't even feel an itch when the thunder hit him, no blood came out neither did he feel any kind of pain, it was as if a breeze of air pa.s.sed through his palm .

The second round of thunderbolts was formed from the purple thunder, unlike its predecessor, it wasn't merely thunderbolts but it was actually a Celestial purple sword that strangely had a red crown on its hilt .

Witnessing the descending sword, Arthur stretched his hand again too meet the large purple sword, its pressure was definitely far above the G.o.dly thunder sword of [Thousand Waves], even the nearby Divine Beasts were trembling as they tried to get away from the thunder but the white chains pulled them closer, not letting them escape .

A trace of blood could be seen on Curtis' lips, he held the Divine Beasts for more than three minutes, which is a difficult task as they were not simple foes, not only were they in their peak state, they were even strengthened thanks to the turtle's sacrifice .

if it were the previous Arthur, injuring them would be impossible unless he hit them head-on with a full powered [Thousand Waves] .

'CLAP!' 'CLAP!' 'BZZZZT!'

Red thunderbolts thicker than himself hit his body when the clash occurred . He stretched his hand and grabbed the very tip of the purple thunder sword, he put a bit of strength as he pulled down and tried to push away the sword, purposely sending it cras.h.i.+ng into the unlucky Vermillion Bird, which happened to be in its way .

The red thunder was ineffective and the purple sword wasn't able to resist Arthur monstrous Strength, it was easily pushed away and fell horizontally on the Vermillion Bird, causing the Divine Beast to screech loudly .

It shook its body violently and ferociously trying to get rid of the white chains but Curtis didn't let go, the chain that was connected to the Vermillion Bird flashed with a golden radiance .

The knight flung the golden chain thus sending the bird a bit closer to the purple sword, which was slowly falling in a weird way due to Arthur's interference and brute force .

Huge red fireb.a.l.l.s were spat from the Vermillion Bird, alas, they were instantly suppressed and pushed away by the purple thunder, with flapping wings and desperate, the Divine Beast tried to get away only to be hit by the enormous purple thunder sword, which literally transformed the bird into black ash in just two seconds .

The two remaining Divine Beasts were scared s.h.i.+tless as they witnessed what happened to their comrade, they didn't dare b.u.t.t in to save the Vermillion Bird lest they become nothing but black ash .
