Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 683

While Lucy was busy destroying the robots that surrounded the group of cultivators, Arthur was transported inside Timos’ world, which was that very peaceful forest devoid of any dangers .

He didn’t willingly teleport, it was the Dark Blade’s doing as it wanted to reunite with its partner as soon as possible . It is no longer dormant and could be said to be whole again and, as Timos said, if the blade wants to fight alongside Arthur, it’ll naturally call for him when the time is right .

Unfortunately, Arthur wasn’t the only one inside this miniature world . Two other presences immediately sensed Arthur’s arrival and appeared beside his body within seconds .

They looked like two young human males, bright and short green hair and identical facial features, they were, without a doubt, twins .

They didn’t wear any sect or clan-related clothes, just casual grey leather outfits .

The youth on the right was holding a one-handed sword with an orange hilt in his right hand, while the youth on the left gripped a one-handed sword with a white handle in his left hand . The sight from left to right was symmetrical, with the exception of the color of the blades . It was as if they were the same entity .

"Brother, isn’t that Arthur?"

The youth raised his sword and pointed it at Arthur while asking his twin sibling .

"It is . It definitely is . What’s a fortunate coincidence . "

The second youth grinned and replied, his hand rising into the air and a swirling white Sword Essence dancing around his body .

"Kill him! If he dies, the oath is lifted!"

A croaky voice came out of the sword with the orange handle . It spoke with clear malice as a burst of orange sword essence came out of its sharp tip and shot at the unconscious Arthur laying on the bushy ground .

The owner of the sword was momentarily startled but didn’t do anything to stop the orange sword essence . However, to everyone’s surprise, when it got closer to Arthur, it clashed with the black flames then disintegrated into nothingness . It couldn’t even touch Arthur’s clothes, much less kill him .

Even Lucy was unable to get close to her husband, much less these two twins .

"The blade is complete! You need to kill him right now!"

The sword with the white handle joined the conversation and harshly ordered the twins, which couldn’t understand what was exactly happening but still did as told as they were aware that their swords would never do anything that harms them .

In fact, these two swords were two of the Nine Cursed Swords . The one with the orange handle was called Dawn, while the other sword was named ’Eraser’ .

Without any hesitation, the twins jumped at Arthur, their bodies emitting a staggering amount of Sword Essence, specifically directed at the unresponsive Arthur .

The two were sword cultivators and were considered strong, especially when they combine their powers . When the cursed sword reached Arthur, they were able to push away the black flames, however, the moment they made contact with Arthur, the attackers felt as if they hit an unbreakable block of steel .

They applied a lot of strength in their stabs but the Cursed Swords were only able to cut the clothes... that’s it .

Dumbfounded, the two leapt away and looked at Arthur then at swords .

"Attack again!" Roared Dawn, unwilling to let this opportunity slip .

"Use all of your powers!"-Dusk

The Twins’ expressions turned serious as they held the one-handed swords vertically across their chests and amassed their sword essences .

In less than five seconds, the place was split into two sides, one filled with a blinding white light and the other with an orange radiance . Slowly but surely, the two sides fused as the twins leaned against each other’s back then shot at Arthur, their swords held to the front in a stabbing motion .

Unlike the last attack, the joined attack of the twins managed to wound Arthur, the two cursed sword dug deep into the parasite’s chest and caused a lot of blood to gush out .

The twins pulled their weapons and were about to stab the same place again to finish the target but it didn’t proceed as expected .

The new wound disappeared within two seconds, it just healed under the twins’ eyes, making them unconsciously take a step back and stare at the man with a flabbergasted expression .

Unfortunately for them, their second attempt was enough to affect Arthur’s consciousness and wake him up .

The parasite’s body blurred and, before the two youths could react, they felt a monstrous force hit their bodies, sending them flying in the air . It only took a split second for them to be fatally wounded and suspended in the air with invisible threads which wrapped around their ankles, wrists, waists, and necks .

The parasite appeared before the two, his face expressionless and his abyssal eyes glaring at them . Although he managed to bind them, their Cursed Swords didn’t give up .

They escaped their owner’s hands, fused together into a long silver sword, and then shot at Arthur’s head .

In retaliation, Arthur raised his hand and unleashed a burst of Void Magic, which caused the incoming Silver Sword to divert its flight and try to flee but it soon found itself trapped in a small black cube made of Dark Magic .

"P-please have merc-"

One of the twins managed to squeeze a few words but that only caused his head to fall from his body . Seeing this horrible sight, the remaining youth was enraged, he wriggled his body and tried to get out but that only led to his miserable death too .

Arthur snorted and waved his hand, storing the two bodies in his storage before floating closer to the dark cube and having a good look at the restless Cursed Swords

"O-great parasite! Let us join hands!"

"That’s right! It’s impossible to destroy us! Let us serve you instead!"

The two begged Arthur again and again but he turned a deaf ear to them . He left the dark cube and went toward the cave Makaze was in, after all, the blade’s cries were becoming louder and louder, almost deafening him .

...

Soon enough, Arthur arrived at gloomy cave utterly void of anything but a dark blade stabbed at its center . An eerie gale whistled inside the place, it was gradually becoming louder and more violent but, when Arthur set food inside, it abruptly became much quieter as if it was welcoming him .

Step by step, he marched toward Evil Wind and when he was standing in front of it, he raised his right hand, which was covered in black flames .

"Welcome back . "

Arthur uttered those words then stretched his hands, held Makaze’s black handle and gently pulled it off the cold the ground .

Arthur thought this was it but he couldn’t be more wrong . The moment Makaze left the ground, the parasite’s environment drastically changed .

The first thing he noticed was the passing breeze ’touching’ his skin . The gloominess around him was replaced by endless greenery and a beautifully clear sky .

He stood there, dazed, for a few breaths before he snapped out of it when a voice entered his ears .

"We meet at last . "

Arthur turned his head and looked at the origin of the voice... a middle-aged man with long black hair, rough skin, and sword-like eyebrows . His eyes were naturally narrowed and he was oddly thin, almost like a skeleton .

This man, who was wearing ragged white clothes, was the person who invented the concept of blades, in general . He was Ventus Malum, The Gale Devourer .
