Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 273



Chapter 273

"You know, Arthur, parasites are metabolically dependant despite needing to rely on a host . If it were the you from the beginning, before any evolution, then surviving in real form for a few days is possible, but it's impossible to live without the need to feed on any kind of host, generally humans .

If you can master your racial abilities, no one can resist your possessing, you can easily product resistant forms to resist any future defense or resistance coming from within the host .

It is also the case for multi-tasking, it is entirely possible for any person to execute two skills at the same time, one just needs sufficient experience . I even saw mortals that didn't even reach the Spirit Realm yet they were able to unleash two, or even, three skills simultaneously . Sure, you can activate skills or techniques consecutively, which in a way, may seem like they were unleashed simultaneously but that may hinder the thinking of the user and render him unable to prepare his next set of skills .

Let me show you what you're lacking . "

As he said that, the area around the bluebird and the Divine Beast became extremely cold and at the same time, a crystalline ice blue armor wrapped itself around the 'body' of the copy .

Ice spears were shot from all around and flew straight at the Vermillion Bird, they were melted half-way through but they still grabbed the attention of the enemy .

As Arthur watched from inside the ARK, he could see the countless skills activated at the same time .

'[Mana Augmentation] [Water Flow] [Magic enhancement] [Ice Spear]x250 [Dragonic Ice Armor] [Beastial Armor] [Ferocious Bloody Beak] . . '

More than twenty skills were activated at the same time, the environment became frozen, there were hundreds of snowflakes covering the area .

The bluebird didn't watch as it sped straight at the flaming bird and waved its lengthy wings, unleashing two ice tornados that were fifty meters tall .

The fireballs and flame waves that were spat by the Vermillion Bird were extinguished after crossing a dozen or so meters . This was the effect of [Ice Age] and [Absolute Zero] that froze all the area around the fight . Even the flames from below didn't affect the wintery environment caused by the bird's skills, which were enhanced by more than one skill .

Sensing the dire situation it was in, the Vermillion Bird screeched loudly as some parts of its body started freezing due, it could not even retaliate as the spears were showering it from all sides, if it ignored them then it'll be injured and if it destroyed them then [Ice Age] and [Absolute Zero] would completely freeze its body .

As it was driven to a miserable state, it angrily flapped its wings, which started emitting a bright red light that was frighteningly bright . Even the copy was blinded by this light yet it didn't stop its charge, it heavily smashed its body against the Vermillion Bird, unafraid of the consequences of this clash .

The yellow beak of the bluebird opened wide and spat a clear and round crystal that floated in the air and started emanating an icy feeling that seemed to suppress the light coming from the Divine Beast's wings .

"This one is done for too . "

Without hesitating any second, the copy left the bluebird's body and backed away without even looking back .

"4 . 4 seconds . . . tsk! I'm rusty . "

As it got away from the Vermillion Bird, Arthur who was watching the fight from another point of view, saw that the light from the flapping wings was suppressed by that mysterious clear crystal . The crystal then exploded into countless small and beautiful white particles that glued themselves to the bird, freezing it at an astonishingly fast pace . In less than a second, the screeching of the bird couldn't be heard anymore, its body became an ice blue statue that started falling into the bottomless abyss .

The flames below would cause the ice to melt so the copy finished the bird by sending another hundred ice spears that shattered this statue into numerous pieces .

"Now the most troublesome one remained . If my calculations are right, the Azure Dragon will revive in twenty-three seconds . To defeat them completely, you need to kill them all simultaneously or kill one right after another within a short period of time . You killed the tiger earlier but it revived after thirty seconds . if you kill another Divine Beast in those thirty seconds, then you'll buy yourself another thirty seconds before the first one which you killed revives, and the second one will come back after sixty seconds . "

Inside the ARK, Arthur was fuming and angrily shouting at the copy wanting to know why was he not told about this important piece of information beforehand . To appease his rage, the copy added

"I was not sure about this fact, it needed to be confirmed . The thing is, in every world the Divine Beasts attack, there will be a special one amongst them, it acts as a leader and it is substantially stronger than the rest . This varies from a group of copies to another, and when the black turtle is the leader, which is clearly is in this case, it has two special abilities . One is to revive its fallen comrades after a certain period of time and the other is ability is even more terrifying, it actually allows it to create another group of copies that will be added to its initial group, so if that happened you would have to fight eight Divine Beasts instead of four, you should be grateful . "

'Grateful my ass!'

The copy didn't have time to waste, each second is precious . It returned to the original body, which recovered by a bit thanks to not receiving any injuries for the last period .

The godly recovery was acting up and displaying its amazing efficiency, the copy ignored Arthur and spoke to the hiding entity inside the consciousness

"Hey Earth Spirit, give me your spear . "

In response to that, the Earth Spirit which was entrapped inside the clustered chains angrily retorted

"Who do you think you are to command me? I ain't giving you shit . "

It was clearly still annoyed due to what happened the previous time it tried to escape from there so it didn't talk friendly to Arthur anymore, showing an apparent unwillingness and hostility .

The copy smirked and added:

"Then do you want to perish with me here? Don't worry, I'm quite loyal and I won't forget about you, I'll make sure to drag you with me when I take my last breath . "

"You . . . "

"Me what? Give me your spear and I'll teach you how to make a proper sentence in my free time, so hurry up . "

A second passed yet there was no reply, the Spirit still didn't yield and was against giving its spear to Arthur . From the looks of it, it didn't mind dying here and refused to lose face by being ordered around by a weakling .

However, this changed quite fast and abruptly when a bright light flashed from Arthur's soul, a suffocating pressure emanated from there, ready to crush the Spirit into a million pieces . Afraid and threatened, the Earth Spirit grunted and finally let go of the weapon, which appeared in the copy's hand .

It was a three-meter-long yellow spear with countless small symbols engraved in its shaft . It had three pointy tips that were emitting rich Earth Energy that wrapped itself around the weapon, increasing the pressure it was emitting .

"Ahhh it's been a very long while since I wielded a spear, such a wondrous feeling! Ah! I forgot to tell you, Arthur, unlike you, I'm a spear user, after all, it is the king of all weapons!"
