Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 487

Both were parties were ready to fight, one was protected by a gigantic barrier that enveloped the whole area and the other was surrounded by four divine beasts and commanded by a Lich King .

The army of death finally finished its march toward the White Specter Clan and stopped a mile or so from the entrance . Almost all of the disciples of the clan were standing in an orderly fashion in front of the gates, fully equipped with powerful equipment .

Even so, some of them couldn't help but feel anxious and a bit afraid after witnessing the enemy's prowess with their own eyes . There was just no end to the undead, they stretched from North to South and every single one of them looked domineering . The revived Holy Knights were also standing at the very front, their shields and swords now corrupted but still effective .

Every Overgod that was revived will provide assistance to Arthur as the enemy will mainly focus on him . Aborak is to lead the army and slowly demolish this place, turning it upside down .

Amidst this intense and nerve-wracking silence, a chilling breeze passed through the two parties, alarming the specters, who clutched their weapons and mustered their courage . They're here to defend their home and Katrina made it really clear that not all of them will remain alive by the end of this sudden war .

Arthur appeared in front of the army and gazed at the floating figure of the Matriarch, who was glaring at him with eyes filled with contempt and killing intent .

She loathed the parasites and despite having a human soul, she still considered him an abomination, an atrocity that shouldn't exist amongst the living . His very act of leading such a large army of dead goes against the unwritten rules of the multiverse as the very existence of this many undead can automatically kill millions of mortals .

"What? Are you so unhappy to see your 'son-in-law'?"

Arthur crossed his arms and taunted her while smirking, unaffected by the aura of the Exalted God or her piercing glare . In response, Katrina snorted and said

"I have no relation with no monstrosity like you . "

"I believe your daughter will say otherwise . "-Arthur

"You should have pretended to be dead and continued on with your life without causing this much trouble and destruction . "

Hearing this, Arthur shrugged his shoulders and replied

"Initially, I didn't want to implicate myself with you but it's you guys who persistently chased after us . You can only blame yourself for what's about to happen . "

Just as he finished talking, a burst of energy smashed into him with the intent of killing him with one blow . Unfortunately, Arthur turned into a strange-looking dark cloud, which swiftly returned to its owner .

Arthur wasn't foolish enough to defenselessly appear before the leader of the enemy . Knowing her aggressive character, it's wasn't difficult to predict her actions . She'll want to get rid of Arthur as soon as possible so a sneak attack like this is to be expected .

When her attack failed, a loud laugh reverberated from afar:

"Hahahaha you had one chance to kill me before and you failed so don't expect to succeed this time . "

Arthur, who already unsheathed Makaze, declared that then glanced at Aborak, who nodded his skeletal head .

The Lich King banged his cane then emitted an ear-deafening screech, signaling the undead to start their assault . The flying bone dragons started diving toward the white specters while the countless skeletons raised their weapons and madly ran at the thousands of disciples standing at the front .

Before the two parties could clash, Katrina waved her hand and pulverized the running undead and the flying bone dragons, causing them to turn into nothingness .

However, it wasn't nearly enough to stop the incoming force . Moreover, the undead felt no fear so they weren't fazed by Katrina's demonstration of power .

The Matriarch knew that it was useless to try and stop the whole army herself, there were just too many of them to defend all sides .

Dozens of seconds later, the undead finally clashed with the disciples, who were much stronger, individually .

The experts of the White Specter Clan remained on standby, waiting for the Divine Beasts or Arthur to make move .

The only people who were reckless and rushed toward Arthur were the sea people originating from the Sea Citadel . They resembled fish but had a humanoid body covered in blue scales .

Arthur was about to send Radolf and Midolf to deal with the weird-looking fish but Aborak stopped him and said

"I'll handle them, take care of the Senior Elders, they're more dangerous . "

Arthur nodded his head and vanished from the fish men's sight and dived into the army of undead, possessing one of them and diving underground, quickly escaping the enemies' senses .

Before they could turn around and make chase, Aborak already made his move . The enormous elemental wheel which was imprinted under the undead's feet started acting, the black arrow started spinning and stopped on the flaming red color .

Countless tall zombies standing at the back jumped in the air, each one of them covering in flames . These were the Elemental Zombies, a special combat force that is extremely strong .

In total, there were 150,000 Elemental Zombies and once they're strengthened by the Elemental Wheel, they're an unstoppable force .

Fortunately, the fishmen from the Sea Citadel weren't Overgods but they were nevertheless strong .

There were 4 fish men and when they saw the descending zombies, they took formation and wrapped themselves with a bubble of water .

Each passing second, dozens of flaming zombies fell on the bubble of water and exploded, however, the explosions did close to no damage .

Only when a thousand zombies exploded next to the bubble did it start showing signs of shaking . Though, by this time, the fishmen were already able to reconstruct it and launch a counter-attack . Sadly, the number of zombies was too much and it was an old Lich King who was controlling them so it was too early for the fishmen to celebrate their victory .

A violent tsunami was unleashed by the four fishmen, it engulfed not only the flying zombies but thousands of skeletons below . When everything cleared, there were no signs of the flaming zombies, which made the fishmen breathe a sigh of relief only to feel an unimaginable heat come from below them .

Before they could react, a 10-meter long red zombie appeared, it was holding a flaming halberd and staring at the fishmen . Slowly, it raised its halberd and smashed it on the bubble of water, shaking it and destroying half of it . Through the newly-made gap, several flaming zombies fell from the sky, exploding right next to the fishmen .

"Matriarch, what do we do?"

Several elders stood behind the silent Katrina, waiting for her answer . After gazing at the brutal battles happening a distance away, she pointed at the Divine Beasts and said

"Get rid of those four, I'll kill that parasite and if I can't, I'll subdue him until the Senior Monks are done with their preparation . "

Indeed, the three Senior Monks were still praying right above the clan . They paid no attention to the war occurring at the entrance and solely focused on finishing with their chant .

Though it was barely noticeable, a transparent and outrageously large archaic gate started appeared above the three old men .

It took Katrina a few seconds to locate Arthur, who was madly drilling into the ground, trying to escape her sense . Unfortunately, he failed but when she started taking actions, an Azure Dragon appeared before her, opened its mouth and spat a massive amount of illusory-looking red flames which spread to all directions .

The elders standing behind her were about to take actions only for them to suddenly plummet in the ground and before they could retaliate, a white shadow passed through them and spat lethal acid which went through their clothes and melted their skin .

It wasn't enough to heavily injure them or kill them, however, it rendered them useless for a couple of seconds .

Seeing the interference of the Divine Beasts, which demonstrated flawless cooperation and incredibly strength, Katrina frowned but wasn't afraid of the Dragon's Breath .

She raised her hand and unleashed flames of her own, the unique flames of the White Specter . They were illusory white flames which pushed away the dragon's flames and even landed on the Azure beast, causing it to writhe from agony .

A loud screech reverberated across the area and by the next second, a bird covered in flames descended from the sky, directly charging at the calm Matriarch .

Still not moving, Katrina simply waved her hand yet it was enough to send the Vermilion Bird to be sent flying in the other direction . Just as the bird was flung away, a white shadow appeared behind the woman and slashed its claws at her .

Unfortunately, this attack was also a failure as the long and golden claws of the White Tiger weren't even able to cause a scratch on the Matriarch . She turned around, clutched the sharp claws with her bare hands then spun around, throwing the enormous beast far away .

"Did you really think they could stop me?"

Her sense was still locked into Arthur, who was making his way inside the clan . Like a bullet, she dived straight at the army of undead, precisely where Arthur was, planning to attack him only for her to come face to face with a creepy-looking rotten hand that appeared from thin air .

The hand was small but it was actually able to halt her movement for a few seconds . She snorted and chopped the 'thing' with her and, causing it to vanish .

Her stopped descent was about to continue only for a surprisingly dangerous wind storm to block her . Katrina was actually forced to stop mid-way and glance at an enormous white roc that was waving its wings .

"Bitch! Come at me!"

Midolf taunted her while Radolf raised its two heads and spat two over-sized red balls that flew high in the sky and started emitting dense blood fogs .
