Once Human, Now A Parasite Chapter 125
Advertisement
For Guan Gi, the surprise was way less than Saku and Alin, who witnessed everything that happened a second ago.
The battle was too one-sided, if it's called a battle that is, to be more precise, it was a complete annihilation. One second the lizards were charging at them and the next they were engulfed in purple flames and were burned into ashes. The process didn't even take a second, no sound came out of the suffering monsters, they couldn't even react before dying miserably.
"What in the...."
Saku was in total disbelief from the previous display, she even muttered those words unconsciously. The high-school girl Alin hid behind her friend Snow Peaks for fear of being struck by the purple flames which appeared too suddenly.
As for the last one, Guan Gi, his head moved between the place where the lizards perished and Lucy, who was standing in front of the other three.
He wasn't sure but his gut told him that she's the one who did that, unlike his admiration for Delia, fear grew inside of him as just the heat from the flames made him suffocate.
Guan Gi walked next to the black ashes scattered everywhere and saw no signs of lizard corpses, just ashes and nothing else. They didn't drop anything too but that's to be expected since they are too low-leveled and only on the first floor.
Amidst the confusion and astonishment of the three team members, Delia giggled and said
"Hehehe, told you to just stay back and watch. Don't try to be heroic and waste our time, it'll be best to stand behind me and enjoy the show."
As she said that, Delia winked at Guan Gi. Being the simpleton he was, he totally forgot about what happened just a second ago and happily walked next to her instead of standing behind her, his eyes were glued to her which was pretty uncomfortable.
Lucy ignored all of them and proceeded deeper into the dungeon. Obviously, the rest of them followed after her but not before questioning Delia on what the hell just happened.
"Emm, Delia, could it be Miss Lucy who did... that?"
Although they only met earlier, after chatting for some time, Delia became friends with Saku who was not as shy and reserved as Alin who remained silent.
Delia took out a wine bottle from out of nowhere, a cup floated next to the bottle and with her telekinesis, or so thought the others, she poured the wine in the cup and casually replied to Snow Peaks
"Who else would it be beside her? I'm but a support-type and she's the one who'll take care of everything... ok enough about this boring stuff, how about you tell me from where you bought that robe?"
Delia actions seemed too natural as if she was not in a dangerous dungeon but in her own house. After some thought, Delia decided to enjoy the wine now as she had nothing to do except following Lucy, she doesn't need to heal or attack as all of that would be handled by her boss.

The first floor was rather big, usually, to pass to the second floor, it takes about two hours or one hour if the team is strong. The problem is the huge number of lizards, individually they are weak but if it's a big number then they can pose a threat even to A-class team.
What was supposed to be a two-hour trip was finished in a mere 20 minutes. Not once did they stop walking, every single lizard that charged at them was instantly obliterated by the purple flames. No monster managed to get close to them.
It's like walking into a museum and enjoying the artwork but instead of that, it's a dark cave filled with creepy looking monsters.
The three newbies calmed down after witnessing the process several times but they were still in awe of such powerful ability.
The silent Alin managed to finally muster some courage and talk to Lucy as she admired such a powerful figure, she always looked up to people like the flame Emperor and the Holy Knight so seeing someone so strong, she couldn't keep silent and miss this opportunity.
"Emm, Miss Lucy, why are the flames purple?"
Talking was not her strongest suit, she had many other questions but she was curious on why the flames had that specific color, however, unfortunately for her, Lucy only replied to her with a simple and unsatisfying answer.
"They just are."
It took Alin a lot of determination to ask that but she asked the wrong question.
Seeing the sad look of Alin and her strong desire to know, Delia, who was enjoying her wine and feeling a bit chatty, started her lecture.
"Flames are separated into three color, orange, blue and purple with orange being the weakest and purple the strongest."
As she said that, Delia raised her hand and created a blue flame spark. They looked at the produced blue flame as if it was some kind of rare treasure, they never heard of flame ranks. Even the flame Emperor who is known to be the strongest flame user on Earth can only use normal flames.
"Does that mean you can use the second strongest flames despite being a support-class?"
After being able to ask the first question, Alin didn't stop asking Delia until she was satisfied.
As for Lucy, she burned every lizard in their way and even after arriving on the second floor, they continued with the same pace.
Starting from the second floor, there were minor traps but Lucy didn't pay them any heed, she didn't even shift the direction and purposely stepped on some of them but they were all nullified thanks to Delia's permanent Holy Barrier.
A meager trap of such a lowly-dungeon could never shatter her barrier, not even an attack from a peak divine Realm can crack it much less destroy it.
...
One hour later, the team finally entered the fourth floor, although Lucy could literally destroy the whole dungeon if she wanted to, she would rather do it slowly with witnesses around.

4th Floor and so on is a place for expert Heroes and not a C-class team. Only A-class Heroes are here, what's good is that the probability of finding some treasure on the fourth floor is extremely high.
When they were clearing the first three floors, nothing dropped which confused the newbies but it's totally natural since Lucy killed them.
She's over level 1000, killing such weak monsters gives no experience and the probability to drop an item is decreased by an enormous margin.
'Kiiiiiiiiir' 'kiiiiiiiiiir'
A group of gnomes equipped with shields and weapons charged at the group of 5 while emitting strange sounds. Lucy didn't even need to raise her hand, with but a thought, the poor gnomes were turned into black ashes before they could react.
"I can't believe it.... even the Lvl10 gnomes are killed so easily....."
Saku covered her mouth and gazed at the black ashes in surprise, she thought it'll become harder so she finally took her weapon but it didn't appear to be the case.
What's more is that Lucy didn't look tired, there were no signs of fatigue in her face, it was as emotionless and cold as ever, it's like she was killing ants and not dangerous monsters.
The pace never slowed and albeit being on the fourth floor, the monsters died one after another. From the beginning, there never was a serious battle and the three newbies had long since relaxed and stopped feeling anxious.
Alin asked questions endlessly but since Delia was feeling like it, she patiently replied whilst enjoying her wine. Over the course of the last hour, god knows how many wine bottles she took from all over the world.
She literally whatever she liked, be it Franca, Italy or the U.S, her sense easily covered the whole planet and nothing escaped from her. She didn't bother with any person and only focused on wine.
Being a person not from Astria, Delia couldn't use the system and couldn't see it or else she would have been given a special title related to wine, definitely....
Half an hour after arriving on the fourth floor, which by the way was way bigger than all the previous floor, the team finally stumbled upon a treasure chest.
Guan Gi was as mesmerized as ever, he tried talking to Delia but except a few short answers, she didn't bother with him so he merely stared at her and imagined things that are better not said.
"Ahhh! Finally a treasure chest!!"
The one who was the most excited was Saku, who ran up to the chest to open it and see what's inside. Midway to the chest, something unexpected occurred.
A man appeared from the wall behind the chest and grabbed it, he was just as excited as Saku as he held the chest as if his life depended on it.
His eyes were greedily inspecting the chest and after a few seconds, he opened the chest and took a brown book with a flame mark on it.
"Ah!! It's a skill book, Luckyyyyy!!"
The man waved the book to the side, where a group of 7 appeared out of nowhere. It was an 8-man team and each had a unique attire.
"Rony! What did that chest have? Quick quick, show us!" (Person A)
"Hahahaha! My super duper [Lucky Hands] skill is indeed godlike! I found a magic skill book!" (Rony: the person who opened the chest)
"Hahahaha! This day couldn't be any better, this is the 4th chest we found today!" (Person B)
...
As they were enjoying the time and reading what the book was about, Saku stood there for a second before snapping at them
"Hey! We found this chest first so the loot belongs to our team!"
Obviously, the 8 of them all heard her and turned their gaze towards her, none of them seemed to take her seriously, instead, the one who looted the chest advanced forward and said
"Hmm? Who is this babe?"
"It doesn't matter who it is! What does matter is her appearance, maaaan! Look at those boobs!! I wanna squeeze them."
Another person from Rony's party marched toward Saku and made a grabbing motion, his hands were big and dirty, coupled with his ugly appearance, the sight could only be described as disgusting.
Saku unconsciously covered her chest and spoke again, not willing to abandon the book that easily.
"Stop messing around and give us the book! The rules say first come first served!"
Seeing her being so persistent and her pretty appearance, all of the 8 men started slowly circling around her and looking at her with perverted eyes. Some of them even saw Delia and Lucy and this only made them drool further.
"No need to bother with that, let's not waste our time and go."
Lucy finally spoke, she ignored their existence and started walking again after directing her sentence to Saku, who was very reluctant to let go of the treasure.
After seeing her party continue advancing and the men closing in, Saku could only back away and join her team. As for Rony's team, they were not dumb enough to attempt anything, they just wanted to tease her, even if the government couldn't see what happens inside the dungeon, it doesn't mean they should try anything, after all, to reach the fourth floor, that team cannot be weak.
"No need to be so depressed! Is that book so important? It's just a book...."
Delia shook her head as she saw the disappointed and sad look of Saku, it was apparent that she didn't want to let them have it but being the naive god she was, she didn't find the book worth the trouble.
"What do you mean it's just a book! It was a magic skill book so it's worth at least a million dollar and that's only if it's a bad one!"
