Once Human, Now a Parasite Chapter 381

Chapter 381

---

Very soon, Arthur to the long mountain range . The security was as tight as the Mirage Era Hall sect, however, he wasn't worried as he continued traveling underground .

He didn't know where exactly Cold Sword could be so he decided to search for a unique mountain where the density of Nether Energy is higher than the rest . She's the top disciple here and she seemed to be the lonely type so if she's not adventuring in the outside world, she must be meticulously training atop her mountain .

Unlike the Mirage Era Hall Sect, the Mountain Ba Sword sect had a larger territory but lesser disciples . Though, all disciples seemed to be decently strong and were all sword-users .

Arthur had long since noticed a central mountain where its peak pierced the clouds yet he didn't approach it . It must be an important place of the sect and he didn't come here to stir trouble .

"I heard that Cold Sword is going to venture inside the dragon's lair that's about to open soon . "

Two disciples were mumbling to each other with a low voice . They were careful as to not let anybody hear them albeit being in a very remote place .

Unfortunately, Arthur was just a couple of meters under their feet and he could perfectly hear them .

"No way, I heard she's stuck in an important bottleneck and hasn't come out of seclusion since last year . "

The two kept talking for a while but most of what said seemed to be rumors . Arthur carefully listened and only departed when the topic was switched .

Many deadly sword formations were laid around the mountain range, however, they weren't able to affect Arthur, who easily avoided them using his eye's ability .

As the sect's territory was considerably big, Arthur spent half a day searching one mountain after another until he found his target .

Jian Si's mountain was actually in a secluded area, almost outside of the sect's territory . The mountain stood alone as its peak was extremely high and the fog around it barred the view of the top .

---

After making sure no one here except for Jian Si, Arthur cautiously made his way toward her peak . There was no sword formation the mountain so he advanced unhindered .

The girl was silently swinging her sword at the top of the mountain . It was a simple movement yet very efficient . In fact, her sword essence resembled Arthur's . It lacked the dark flames or the ominous aura of the Dark Magic but it still emitted a dangerous pressure, ruthless and full of thick murderous aura .

Her appearance matured since the last time they met . Her dark hair became much longer and she grew a bit taller though her face was a cold and expressionless as ever .

Moreover, she already became a 5th Grade G.o.d, which is a very good achievement . She was even stronger than Shu Ru, in terms of cultivation, that is .

If the two girls were to fight, no one would know who would come out victorious . Shu Ru may have a lower cultivation but her Physique can allow her to leapfrog a few grades .

As an experienced killer, Jian Si had a very sensitive G.o.dly Sense and very high awareness but she wasn't able to discover Arthur .

Only when a strange rat appeared next to him did she react . Her swinging sword hastily changed direction and went straight at the rat .

Though it was a rat, the feeling she got from it was familiar yet dangerous so she attacked without hesitation .

Unfortunately, her attack was easily blocked as the rat vanished and was replaced by a tall silver-haired man who held her sword with two fingers .

"Still hot-blooded . "

The girl withdrew her sword and snorted, clearly angry to see her attack fail so miserably . She stared at Arthur and noticed a few changes, for example, the absence of the chains and the scar on his eye .

'He seems to be way stronger than before . '

Though their exchange was short, just from looking at him, Jian Si knew Arthur was several times stronger than five years ago .

"So you finally remembered that you have a student?"

While shrugging, Arthur replied

"I was busy . "

The girl snorted again and resumed swinging her sword, totally ignoring Arthur . Since he still had ample free time, he sat cross-legged a distance away from her and entered meditation .

It has been exactly one month since Lucy started training under Losha . Her cultivation was sealed so that she doesn't advance quickly and ruin herself, or so said her master .

She still wasn't able to create the 6th lotus, however, her control over the Pure Yin Physique significantly increased . She was able to unleash 60% of its power . Furthermore, Losha bestowed her a powerful movement technique perfectly compatible with her .

This movement technique was extremely hard to learn but granted her many benefits . Her soft white saber also received an upgrade and became more powerful and suited for a Sovereign .

It became shorter but sharper, plus, Lucy was given yet another technique . This technique was actually Saber Arts .

It is called The Dancing Flame Saber Arts and the requirements to learn it are very steep . In fact, Even after training for a whole month, coupled with her talent, Lucy was only able to reach minor success in it .

Nonetheless, it suited her magma and fire attributes and greatly strengthened them . Her a.r.s.enal grew bigger and she was getting stronger by the day .

Losha, who was in her workshop, busy fixing Makaze, was sweating profusely as the temperature of the room was extremely high, moreover, she was mentally and physically tired .

To fix Makaze was no easy feat, in fact, it was much harder than she expected . Fortunately, she had the necessary materials to repair it but the energy needed was humongous, to say the least .

Losha thought it'll take her a week at most but even after one month, she was still not over .

'I'm finally done with this d.a.m.n blade!'

She was almost done repairing the silent blade, which started acting strange since yesterday . Its sheath was releasing an absurd amount of black flames while Makaze was vibrating intensely as it emanated a strange and ominous dark fog that was forcefully repelled by Losha .

Even someone as strong as her, was starting feeling anxious after feeling the rising pressure of the Dark Blade . She even hesitated a few times and wanted to stop repairing it . Once the final touch is done, she feared something will happen, not her but to the workshop and the whole floating mountain .

The blade was getting restless and a fourth of the workshop was started to get corrupted by the spreading Dark Magic .

The blacksmith's body turned into a diamond, s.h.i.+ning as she pressed her hand on the dark blade and banged her hammer on its sharp edges .

Time slowly pa.s.sed but to Losha's surprise, the hand that was holding down the blade became bloodied and jet black . The darkness inside the diamond was dreadful and wanted to spread to all her body .

Formless Nether Energy appeared from her Dantian to her hand, pus.h.i.+ng out the Dark Magic . The process was incredibly slow, startling Losha .

'Just what the h.e.l.l is this blade?'

Even a Cursed Sword wouldn't make her anxious like this . The combination of the blade and Dark Magic was simply too dangerous . It bypa.s.sed her Physique and even injured her just by touching it .

She couldn't even imagine what it'll do if it was wielded by Arthur . The hammer kept banging on the blade for a few more hours before finally stopping .

No more a broken blade, Makaze emitted a loud howl that reverberated to all directions, startling Lucy and Losha . The surroundings of the floating mountain turned into absolute darkness, blocking everyone's view .

In a split second, Losha's world was replaced by encroaching darkness that made someone like her helpless .

"What's going on?"

"You did a good job . "

A cold voice rang in her ears . Just as the voice was heard, the darkness vanished and everything returned to normal . The usually composed Losha was dumbstruck, she even forgot to breathe as she stared at the person standing in front of her .

Her eyes contained shock and fear, even a reincarnator like herself couldn't lift a finger in front of the person in front of her .

He was clad in jet black armor and had a thick black sword on his back . A skin as white as snow and two jet black pupils, even his hair was completely dark . He was the epitome of strength, the most powerful existence in the three universes, the Nameless Knight .

The woman didn't even dare speak, someone of her status obviously knew the Nameless Knight . Not only she knew him, she knew what he's capable of . .

Though she had a Fate Contract with Arthur, she wasn't courageous enough to stop the knight from taking Makaze, if he wished to do so .

Someone like him could finish her before she could make a move, the disparity was just too big . She's feared by many and even OverG.o.ds don't dare to anger her yet in this multiverse, none dares to talk back or provoke the Nameless Knight . Whatever he wants, he gets, fortunately, he usually disappears for a long time, whenever he appears, everyone becomes docile .

The strong factions or powerful individuals become obedient like children, like 'X', for example .

"A favor must be paid back . Just like he gave me my blade, I shall hand him his . "

The Nameless Knight uttered those words before grabbing Makaze, which wanted to rebel and attack this man only to become motionless, unable to resist the hand that was grabbing it .

Just like he appeared, the knight vanished without leaving trace, leaving a pale-faced Losha, who fell on her b.u.t.t as her knees grew weak .
