Once Human, Now a Parasite Chapter 684

Chapter 684

Ventus Malum grinned as he stared at Arthur .

"That look on your face tells me that you've figured out who I am… that's better, at least I don't have to introduce myself . "

Arthur maintained an odd silence for an inordinate amount of time before his lips parted and his voice echoed inside the calm yet eerie cave .

"Your presence here means that I won't be getting Makaze that easily, right?"

Hearing this, Ventus frowned and tilted his head in confusion . After thinking for a few breaths, he nodded his head and replied,

"You seem to be misunderstanding something . Evil Wind is in your hands, it's eternally yours and the Dark Oath binds you two forever . If you want, you can leave right now . No one will stop you… certainly not me . "

"Then why are you here?"

"In essence, Makaze is I and I am Makaze . The blade was born from my body and although my soul still remains, it's a fact that it holds my love, despair, hate, anger, and so on . . . It is a living thing before being a weapon . "

Arthur quietly listened to the Gale Devourer, who walked closer to the parasite, his dark blue eyes focusing on the blade covered in black flames .

"I have to say, Arthur, that you were lucky . Makaze is very compatible with your Dark Magic hence the birth of the Dark Blade Oath . However, what this blade excels at is Lightning and Wind . If you can master those then I daresay you'll be unbeatable . Not even Anduril, the greatest sword in existence, will match you . "

"I've already mastered Lightning and Wind . "

Ventus laughed as he heard Arthur's answer .

"Are you talking about the Mastery from Tiarius' downgraded system? That's not called Mastering an Attribute . For example, you can be said to have mastered Dark Magic right now . Your different kinds of lightnings and thunder aren't bad too but your Wind Magic is… severely lacking . Wind is the hardest to learn and master . Besides that talkative Roc, Midolf, I was the only person who reached the apex in Wind Magic .

Wind is formless and colorless, fast and lethal . It can kill cut everything, even the very fabric of reality… even the cycles you're desperately trying to break from . "

Ventus Malum sensed a slight reaction from Arthur, whose face remained as expressionless as ever .

"Unfortunately, I cannot pa.s.s my mastery to you because it has to do with a person's mind, how he thinks and views things, his thoughts about the environment and how each attribute acts, its role and reaction to various other things . However, I can still help you… what do you say?"

As he said that, Ventus was enveloped by a soundless wind tornado which made him float several inches above the ground .

"Help? Explain, please . "

"Sure, I will explain everything but do know that it won't be easy, nor will it be instant . It all depends on your will… your true emotions… your love and yearning for those close to you . "

As Arthur was conversing with Ventus Malum, things became very chaotic in the area where the entrance to the secret Realm was supposed to be .

Lucy was like a raging devil, jumping from place to another, each time pulverizing a robot or incinerating a large cannon . Her prowess made all the present cultivator gawk and take a defensive stance, afraid they'll be hit by the collateral damage .

The White Specter single-handedly fought the army of robots . Her Nine Ice lotuses would freeze anything that got close to her while her golden flames rose into the sky and cascaded on the enemies .

Close to one hour has pa.s.sed since Lucy started ma.s.sacring the robots from the system but she showed no signs of exhaustion . The number of enemies increased even after she had taken out a large bulk . Moreover, the enormous s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p up above was providing a.s.sistance and shooting thick red lasers at the silver-haired woman, who was so fast that only her blurry after-image could be seen .

"What do we do, Clan Master?"

The elderly man accompanying Jian Si stared at Lucy with fear, his feet shaking . He could, at best, deal with two or three robots but the white specter was destroying one or two robots with each attack, furthermore, she was getting more and more ferocious .

"Take the disciples and leave when an opportunity comes . "

"What about you?"

"I can't leave her alone . They are after Arthur and not her . "

Cold Sword glanced at the strange black whirlpool which sp.a.w.ned at the area below Lucy . It was slowly getting bigger and some of the robots were firing at it continuously but the shots were all blocked by a large crystalline Lotus, which Lucy's G.o.dspirit .

It fully bloomed and summoned a violent blizzard, turning the area snowy and absolutely bone-freezing . Usually, OverG.o.ds and Exalted G.o.ds rarely summon their G.o.dspirit as it's way weaker than them and needs to be controlled manually, however, Lucy was able to use it despite being busy with the countless enemies .

The moment Jian Si finished talking, a deafening explosion took place several hundred meters away from the cultivators . Fortunately, they raised multiple s.h.i.+elds and barriers so they managed to block the impact but the robots were blasted far away and some even exploded into hundreds of pieces .

"Go! Now!"

Cold Sword ushered the grand elder then retrieved her red sword from her back and unleashed her murderous blood essence, coating herself with a savage crimson aura .

"Clan master!"

The elder hesitated but a threatening glare from the black-haired girl, who's still to young to manage a big sect like Mountain Ba, forced him to leave with the frightened disciples .

Instead of directly going to help Lucy, Jian Si flew at the enormous s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, who paid her no attention . The explosion caused by none other than Lucy, was the result of the miniature sun enveloped by the golden crow flames .

It covered the area in a sea of golden flames, blinding and suffocating . The flames burned everything in its way, melting the still surviving robots and temporarily clearing the place of the persistent metallic robots .

Lucy glanced at the expanding black whirlpool before grabbing Lonely Moon and pointing it above .

A thick beam of red light shot straight at her . Lucy injected her Mana into the silver revolver and shot two times, her right arm, which changed appearance, was letting an alarming amount of steam from the holes in the shoulder area .

The devil arm was even bleeding a lot as firing two shots exhausted Lucy, who took a deep breath then wiped the bit of blood leaking out of her lips . The two bullets, both colored purple, clashed with the laser .

The first bullet transformed into a large disgusting toothless mouth which devoured the whole thick laser . As for the second bullet, it shot at the enormous s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p .

Although the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was pretty far away, you could see a series of explosions occur in its base . The deafening alarms rang continuously as hundreds of black dots appeared in the sky, all well-equipped robots which changed their target from the whirlpool to Lucy .

To make matters worse, two special robots made their appearances . One was over a hundred meters tall and holding a black metallic s.h.i.+eld bigger than itself, while the other was wearing a brown suit of armor, in its hands, there was something similar to an advanced rifle, like the ones seen in Sci-Fi Movies .
