Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 180

Followed by Ti Eru's roar was his strong Godly pressure, although he was facing two gods, he didn't back down and tried to intimidate them . Anyone can tell that his previous words were not just for his show, knowing his character, such bold words were not just boasting .

In response to the tribe chief, Tarathiel remained completely calm . As the pressure of Ti Eru rushed at him and his brother, they didn't back down and the two unleashed a similar pressure, forcing Ti Eru's to be slightly suppressed . For two gods to only be able to slightly suppress Ti Eru's pressure, that in itself shows how strong the old pigolo was .

Even facing the two of them in a fight, despite Tarathiel being a genius, he may not be at a big disadvantage . He lived longer than them and cultivated for centuries and held the position of tribe chief before Tarathiel was even born .

Two Gods at the same grade may not necessarily be matched, one can outdo the other easily if the comprehension of their skills is higher . The treasures and artifacts played a role in the fights too .

Not long before Ti Eru roared, countless footsteps were heard which came out from the only dark hole in the room . Seconds after, rows of desert gargoyles were armors popped out of the hole, each one stronger than the other . Together, they emanated strong pressure and a domineering presence . With two large groups opposing each other, the atmosphere became tense and the two opposite parties were glaring at each other with unfriendly and sneering gazes .

Surprisingly, amongst the crowd of desert gargoyles, the green-armored general Rosie, who lost her arm to Arthur was also present . Furthermore, two human twins, with burly figures and bald heads were also here . Without a doubt, they were the people sent by the white-clothed young man who was with Vyncent, they were here to bring the candidates or whatever that youth was referring to .

In any case, Arthur was totally oblivious to them, not caring about them or even sparing them a single glance . Whatever their purpose was, it didn't have anything to do with him, he only killed that young man because he was in the way and as long as they don't cause him trouble, he won't openly attack . He wasn't even interested in the dispute between the two factions, his mind was concentrated on the Spatial fluctuations .

The more he felt them, the more confident he was that it was due to the motionless earth knight . It was a good and bad news, he found something that had to do with Spatial attribute, but the bad news is that he can't possess it . Even if he were to fight it right now, which he wouldn't, he won't come out victorious with Tarathiel and his brother present as they won't sit idle .

As his thoughts were beginning to spin, a cool sensation surged through his body and stretched to all his limbs, it entered his consciousness and calmed down the excitement he was feeling .

"It seems I must act . "

Although he didn't have full confidence in possessing the Earth Spirit, he still was sure of his abilities in escaping safely . If it was about confusing and slowing enemies, no one was better than him . Almost non-costly teleportation, free access to strong ancient flames and penetrating Dark Magic . Worst comes to worst, he would imprison himself in the dark cube, its defenses are not something a god could break, especially when his stats increased more recently .

The atmosphere was still as tense as ever and Ti Eru was still silently glaring at Tarathiel with a deadlock expression and full of killing intent, not intending to hide it . From any person's point of view, the fight was going to break at any given second, however, the truth was totally different . Ti Eru was trying to oppress, or rather, scare Tarathiel but he wasn't going to be rash and start a fight in a very disadvantageous environment, his purpose coming here was to scare them, warn them, and grab their attention to his two brothers could deal heavy blows to the gargoyles' territory .

No one has noticed that a bit above the army of pigolo, a terrifyingly powerful arrow appeared . Being more than twenty meters wide, two meters thick and emanating an alarming devouring power . It was purple and had black flames on its edges .

The Heavenly Arrow was now divided into four version, with the fourth one being the combination of the first three .

[Void Arrow], [Flame Lightning Arrow], and [Dark Arrow], each had a unique attribute or two as its core and the fusion of the four attributes would result in a heaven-shaking arrow .

Although this [Void Arrow] that Arthur conjured emanated a very strong suction power, no one was able to notice it, not even the three gods .

Spatial Passage was activated, it shrouded the arrow in an empty space which cannot be sensed and the moment Arthur willed it, the passage can disappear and the Void Arrow can be unleashed . Actually, in such circumstances, he was sure that if he was able to successfully sneak attack any present God with the arrow, nothing would be left from the God as he will be completely devoured .

His target was not the gods but the earth-knight . He just needs to injure it then forcefully possess it . Although it'll cost permanent Mental Power, it won't be too bad as the stats and benefits from the earth-knight would be generous . But this was all based on his guess that the spatial fluctuations were due to the knight .

to possess this knight, he had to resort to [Possess, possess and possess], but such a skill, since it evolved, the cost of using it is pretty big . If he were to forcefully control the body of a God Realm, his stats would drop by 50m and he would lose 250 Mental Power, moreover, he would only be able to possess a living God for half a minute .

For a parasite, such as Arthur, there were three kinds of possessing . possessing dead bodies and controlling their bodies, possessing living beings but staying dormant in their body but this can only be done if the other party doesn't detect the parasite or is of a lower Realm, last but not least is the third possessing, which relies of the skill Arthur forcefully created at the cost of Mental Power and stats .

The conjuring of the Void Arrow took only a few seconds, next thing Arthur did was drift a bit of his consciousness into his storage, locking into ten flash grenades, preparing to throw them the second he acted .

Fortunately, the room was not overly large and a single teleportation would enable him to appear near the knight, what will be left was to possess it . He could still try to kill it but that was far too unreasonable . Just the meer pressure coming out of it was alarming, to think of killing it in a very short time is not plausible .

As he was about to act, Arthur's heartbeats were calm and constant, he didn't feel any sense panic or urgency, just abnormally calm .

Only a dozen of second passed since the desert gargoyles appeared but it was more than enough for Arthur to fully prepare . Without any slight hesitation, his main body left Hakim's body and instantly sunk into the ground, melting with it .

'thud!'

A falling sound was heard as the lifeless body of the colonel Hakim fell on the ground, grabbing the attention of everybody . The first reaction everybody had, including Ti Eru, was shock, complete shock!

For someone to drop dead from out of nowhere, it was suspicious but all those suspicions were directed at the gargoyles which appeared not long ago .

They didn't to physically check to be able to sense that Hakim was dead . The first one to react was Abel, who flung into an immense rage and disobeyed the chief tribe's orders as his body charged at the gargoyles .

Rage and anger flashing in their eyes, the rest didn't stop him but joined him, taking out their weapons and unleashing their suppressed aura .

The sudden death of Hakim was like a huge catalyst, Ti Eru also didn't blame or stop Abel, he took out a three feet long red sword with sharp thorns on it and struck at Tarathiel without restraint .

As the battle began, at last, Arthur, who was silently watching from underground, deactivated his Spatial passage, unleashing the ready Void Arrow .

Like an unstoppable storm, a cold wind twirled inside the room, making everybody shiver and by the time they lifted their head to look at the source of this chillness . They saw a purple streak undistinguishable by the naked eye, it flew at the earth-knight and before Tarathiel or Ehrendil could react, it had already struck the abdomen of big earth knight .

"No!"

The calm Tarathiel shrieked as he ferociously swung his staff, pushing back Ti Eru and hurried towards the knight, however, he was stopped by Ti Eru, who was very persistent as he arrived behind him and slashed with his sword, creating a bloody red arc which could split rivers and shatter mountains . It was obvious that the chief tribe didn't hold back at all!

Ehrendil rushed at the earth-knight to protect it too but his speed was just too slow, by the time the two of them sensed the arrow, it had already struck the knight and the strange suction power started doing its job, eating the ancient earth, dust and even the air around it .

It was like a bottomless pit, a devouring black hole as it ate away the earth-knight . Even Arthur was momentarily startled, he expected a strong resistance from the earth-knight and not such result .

In any case, both cases fitted his plans . Flicking his hand, ten flash grenades flew from the earth and spread around the two parties .

The second they appeared, a bright white flash caused by the multiplied the effect of the grenades blinded all the eyes of the present people . Whether it was a gargoyle or a pigolo, they either closed their eyes or raised their sleeves to block from the blinding light .

Using this opportunity, Arthur sprung from the earth and instantly transformed into a black whirlpool near the earth knight which was being eaten .

The black whirlpool didn't even last a split second as it entered the earth knight's body and merged with it, no one noticed such a fast movement as they were terrified by the sudden terrifying events that unfolded . First, it was that cold purple streak then this blinding light .

Exactly ten seconds later, the blinding light disappeared, leaving astonished expressions hanging on all their faces . Even Ti Eru and Tarathiel were equally shocked . They glanced at each other but they shock deepened when they saw the confusion in each other's faces .

Seeing this, they both knew that there was a third party present, and it wasn't weak either . What made Tarathiel's panic deepen, was that even he was able to detect this third party . It was extremely good at hiding its traces and conceal its presence, such a force made him involuntarily tremble for a split second . He knew that news of their Earth Spirit spread to the outside but he didn't expect 'them' to react so fast and send an expert to exterminate the spirit .

'It seems they don't want us to hold such strong power . '
