Once Human, Now A Parasite Chapter 541
Advertisement
The angry Shogun didn't wait for Arthur to recover and jumped at him with his bare hands, an absurd amount of condensed Qi revolving around his hand. His speed was a bit slower than Arthur's, nonetheless, he did reach him in a split second and unleashed a torrent of straight punches. The first few were successfully blocked by the Dark Barrier and a transparent watery surface, however, the rest directly struck Arthur, who retaliated by crossing his arms and using Godly Thunder to momentarily stun the enemy.
The power behind those punches was monstrous yet they weren't able to break Arthur's boosted defense. In fact, before Sol'dhin could even finish, the parasite suddenly vanished from his sight but since his sense was locked onto Arthur ever since the beginning, he managed to pinpoint his location.
A small black rat teleported behind the Shogun and pierced his back with its minuscule fangs, resulting in a poisonous bite mark to appear.
"Heh, do you really think such a tri-"
The man was about to scoff at Arthur's pointless attack only for his body to stagger then fall from mid-air. Arthur grasped this opportunity and threw dozens of detonators which exploded upon contact.
Even a body as strong as the Shogun's couldn't resist the hundreds of poisons injected in that bite attack, furthermore, Arthur's relentless assault seemed to have finally taken a toll on the previously unscathed Sol'dhin.
The man spat some blood and was about to jump in the air again only to feel an imminent threat heading towards him. Sadly, just like last time, he couldn't react time and ended up seeing his other arm fall on the ground.
Arthur had taken out the sword again and casually swung it yet such a simple movement not only cut Sol'dhin arm but it also struck the keep behind him, easily penetrating the walls and literally separating it in two pieces.

The Frozen Keep, having lost its balance, started falling piece by piece, beginning from its sky-piercing tip which directly fell into the bottomless abyss. Armless, the Shogun glared at Arthur, his eyes emitting unrestrained rage and shame, after all, a strong man like himself was reduced to such state by a mere parasite. It was a huge disgrace for him yet without his arms, he could do nothing but retreat.
He glanced at Elias and the rest only to find the place totally bloody, dozens of heads rolling on the shaking ground with only a few humans still alive but struggling against the ever-increasing number of undead. Arthur paid no heed to Sol'dhin and dived straight at the busy Elias, a series of thick white thunderbolts descending from above, hitting the strange coin and deactivating its barrier.
The old man was cut off-guard and was a second too late in reaction to the disappearing barrier. A strong, suffocating grip held his neck, quickly followed by agonizing pain that originated from his four limbs. His legs and his arms were gone, devoured by some creepy void mouths. After Arthur ordered them, they reluctantly stopped eating the body and vanished into nothingness, leaving a bloody Elias who was shrieking and gasping for air. The coin fell on the ground but was totally ignored by Arthur, whose attention was focused solely on the red-faced old man.
"I'll show you true hell."
Arthur spoke with a ghastly voice, his hand tightening around Elias. His free hand grasped the old man's hand and then, a massive amount of Dark Magic invaded the latter's head, inflicting even more pain. In fact, the victim was about to fall unconscious but Arthur did something that caused him to remain awake and experience this hellish agony for what seemed to be an eternity.

Time seemed to have stopped as Elias' boy convulsed and blood leaked out of all of his orifices.
On the other side, the Shogun saw all of his people were killed and only Elias was remained, however, his state was even worse than his. He very much wanted to attack Arthur but his blade was lost and his arms were cut off so the best solution is to leave Riarravar and look for another chance.
Unfortunately, it was at this time that Timos was finally freed and the world turned upside down. A black hole appeared at the center of Riarravar and started ravaging everything, absorbing the whole place within seconds. This destruction was happening way faster than what Arthur experienced in Bucama's world.
While holding the half-dead Elias, Arthur looked at the distorting space and flying rubbles, his eyes containing no emotion. Chaos dominated all of Riarravar and it won't be long before he's also sucked into the small but devastating black hole.
The Shogun struggled to take out a silver ruler from his pocket, however, just as he was about to use it and leave, a rain of large dark arrows fell down on him, pushing his body closer to the black hole and forcing the ruler out of his hand.
Arthur could hear the man's loud cries as he was slowly being pulled into the black hole, helplessly trying to use his legs and flee from the creeping death but to no avail.
"So it is finally time."
Timos spoke to Arthur, his voice seemed a bit emotional.
"It has been a fun ride, Arthur MoonStar."
Ever since their meeting, it was the first time he uttered Arthur's name.
"What of my belongings?"
While dragging the convulsing Elias on the breaking ground, Arthur talked to the unseen entity.
"Hah, don't worry about them. Well then, see you soon… maybe."
A few seconds briefly crept by in which, Elias, who could only let out an inaudible whimper, finally met his end. Just to make sure the bastard was dead, Arthur made his body explode, leaving literally nothing. The Frozen Keep was no more and Arthur's body, against his will, was being dragged into the black hole, which left nothing untouched of the once peaceful world.
Arthur didn't try to resist and wasn't really that afraid of dying. He was about to close his eyes and let things proceed as planned only to notice a rapidly moving silhouette relying on the flying boulders to escape from the black hole.
Upon a closer look, Arthur saw a blond young man with a handsome face, wearing a shiny armor. It was Vyncent, the only human who actually stayed and helped him get rid of Elias' people. As he was busy dealing with the Shogun, Arthur paid the youngster little attention.
Vyncent was clutching Elias' strange coin while distancing himself from the center of this world. His heart was beating like crazy and his body was bloodied as the black hole was pulling everything inside of it, including the energy inside its body and even the molecules so even if he gets far away, his body will still become unstable and explode.
It was far too late to create a Spatial Tunnel so Arthur couldn't help even if he wanted to. With one last look at the desperate young man, Arthur closed his eyes and let things be…

Star God
An ancient, ageless entity of magic intertwines with the essence of a tribal hero and a god is born. In a land where the worship of any entity is banned and punishable by mass-execution, the young and idealistic deity must come to terms with the ugliness of humanity, and find a way for his flock to survive, and maybe even thrive. A young man born into a mountain tribe treads the path of a hero, but he must learn the extent to which he would go to keep his people and their fledgling god safe and happy. Enemies are everywhere, and to defend their way of life, they must learn to harness the power of magic. Others are ahead of them in this regard, so they must act fast if they are to survive. A Xianxia-esque magic system, but with a focus on Western-style spellcasting and mysticism. This is more or less a deconstruction of classical fantasy and pantheons. The story focuses on two main characters; a God and a hero who serves him. Kingdom building themes are prevalent. If you like it, please remember to rate and review.
