Once Human, Now A Parasite Chapter 225
Advertisement
For the grand finale, Arthur decided to take out the best body he could possess, the silver wolf. Although he is not in his peak state, this doesn't stop him from using the wolf's body as only with it would he be able to finish the enemy.
He had enough confidence in being able to fight equally against the Sovereign if all passives are activated, then he would aim for a battle of attrition since his Stamina is infinite, all that is left to do is wait until the Sovereign weakens over time.
If there is a chance to kill the Sovereign, of course, he wouldn't miss it, however, that is rather unlikely with how powerful the old man is right now, especially after he fused with his God Spirit.
The large body of the wolf was retrieved and its size was a bit bigger than the one he used against Meyzu and co. He wasted no time and possessed the body and activated all the passives, burdening his mind and bringing stress that weighed heavily on him, to the point of making him feel a bit dizzy.
Silver fur that wasn't affected by the falling rain, two red vicious eyes and a huge frame that brought fear to anyone who looked at it, the appearance of the wolf didn't change when all the passives were activated, but it's certain that Arthur's stats sky-rocketed. Thick chains wrapped around its back and its four limbs, but instead of limitations, Arthur used them as some kind of a defense, like an armor of some sort since besides himself, no one could break them.
"In the end, what are you?"
The old man couldn't help but ask that as he looked at his target, which transformed into a beast every a few exchanges, however, what's more, frightening is that the new appearance is always more threatening than the last.
"What I am does not matter, you should focus on what's about to come."
A calm voice rang in the old man's ears, he knew it belonged to the enemy but he felt a chill that made all his hair stand.
The silver wolf howled loudly, shattering space and frightening even the hidden spectators such as the gargoyles and Kang Amidel, who activated his physique, not daring underestimate either of the parties.
The golden luster emanating from the Sovereign body's intensified, his scepter became a white crown that rested on his head and a Holy aura enveloped him, making him look like some kind of a Holy Angel.

"Come!"
The silver wolf transformed into a grey beam that crashed into the old man's, astonishing him as he was not able to react and defend in time.
His body shot through the air and only stopped after flying for a few miles, however, what waited for him was a grey beam that didn't wait for him to stabilize his body. The old man smashed his fists together, creating a bright light that collided with the sharp claws of the wolf which came out of nowhere.
Despite being able to defend in time, such techniques were not helpful as the light was extinguished and the claws hit the old man, sending him flying yet again, blood spurted out of his mouth and an ugly wound could be seen in his chest.
Arthur's physical strength is incomparable right now, all the accumulated passives gave him unmatched speed, sturdy defense, and godly strength. A single slash of his could literally finish a Peak God, but all of this comes at a cost, and it isn't a small one.
The wolf lunged at the old man, appearing next to him within a split second, barely giving the Sovereign enough time to act.
"Holy Arts, fifth chapter: Spear of Mercy!"
A spear of only pure white light appeared above the old man, and by his will, it flew straight at the wolf. The sharp long claws which were strengthened with Natural Lightning clashed with the large spear.
Arthur's physical abilities may be greater than the old man, but his techniques and Realm are weaker, so when he clashed when he collided with the spear, he managed to resist before it struck his abdomen.
Fortunately, his defense was high and it wasn't able to injure him, it only pushed away.
The wolf's body flew a long distance, all the way to the city, in fact. It only stopped until it crashed on the barrier protecting it, this brought fear and surprise to the guards.
On the side, Amidel looked at the wolf with fear, to survive a direct hit from a Sovereign and still be uninjured, that's not easy to do, even for other Sovereigns.
As if nothing happened, Arthur rushed at the old man and clashed with him again and again, sometimes spitting detonators, sometimes using Godly Thunder or Dark Magic.
The sky near the city was colored with all kinds of spells, the ground shook, mountains split and the barrier showed signs of destruction.

'Boom!'
Yet Another detonators were deflected by the illusory hands of the old man, it landed near the walls of the city, exploding and creating an enormous crater. Two figures retreated, each into a direction, one was the old man, who looked more disheveled than before, his robe was completely red and his face was pale, he even showed signs of exhaustion.
The other one was the silver wolf, which had a few wounds all over its body but it didn't seem weakened as it growled menacingly at its enemy, ready to leap at him again.
"This damned monster…"
The old man held his scepter and retrieved a long white staff from his storage, he did a few hand seals which caused the two weapons to vibrate then fuse together as if they were one piece from the very beginning.
This, however, was the first step, the old man's face became paler as he spat a golden drop of blood, which merged with the new weapon, making it release bright golden lights that illuminated the whole area as if it was a sun.
Arthur felt overwhelming pressure and great danger from that weapon, his bestial instincts were unceasingly warning him to turn around and run but it was too late for that.
The silver wolf took a fighting stance and opened its mouth wide, not showing signs of retreat. The old man grinned and recited
"Holy Arts, Sixth Chapter: Golden Nova!"
A golden humanoid figure conjured from the old man's weapon appeared in front of him, it was three meters tall, held a blade of light and looked at Arthur, who stared back with ferocity, undaunted by the aura this figure was emanating.
The howling winds calmed down as they were all being absorbed inside the wolf's mouth, an ominous dark fog surrounded the beast and harmless dark flames were burning it.
The old man, who suffered enough strange attacks from Arthur, wasn't going to wait for the target to finish preparing his attack. The golden humanoid figure charged at Arthur, swinging its blade with full intensity at the big wolf.
Just from its Holy aura, the clustered dark cloud dispersed and the rain stopped, the figure was the embodiment of life, Holiness, and serenity.
From the countless exchanges, Arthur discovered that the old man was quite wary of Dark Magic and the Ancient Flames, he was also injured by a few Void-oriented skills.
He discarded the Ancient flames for this attack as it is too burdening and decided to use Dark Magic and Void Magic, their fusion leads to the Eclipse Magic, which he hasn't used in a very long time since it wasn't as powerful as Dark Magic.
A Heavenly Arrow from pure Eclipse Magic, it was his first try but he had high expectations, he expanded a lot of Energy, he was mentally exhausted and it won't be long before he is forced to leave the wolf's body else he falls unconscious without realizing it.
As the humanoid figure got close, something flew from the wolf's large mouth, it had fast speed and so much power that all the space behind it shattered.
An orange arrow four meters long absorbed the air and Energy like a bottomless hole and strengthened itself by devouring everything as it made its way toward the golden figure.
Arthur swiftly retreated, knowing that the collision will cause catastrophic damage, there's no knowing if he gets injured by the clash and knowing the proprieties of the Void Magic, being damaged by it is irreversible.
The blade made of light and the arrow met each other, distorting space and causing an annoying ringing sound to be heard. The golden figure used its other hand to press against the other, planning to push it away as it couldn't extinguish it, however, even that was impossible as its hand was devoured the moment it touched the orange arrow.
Further strengthened, the arrow became bigger as it pressed against the white blade, absorbing its light and enlarging its size, the cycle went on until the golden figure let go of its blade and intertwined its hands, using them as a hammer to smash the arrow from above with all its strength.
At last, the arrow was forced down, it flew straight at the ground, devouring it and creating a large bottomless hole, no one knows how deep it went before it stopped.
A few seconds after it went down, a deafening explosion was heard from underground, some of the buildings in the city couldn't handle it and fell down, cultivators took refuge in safe places as the barrier shattered and the nearby mountains and hills split apart, creating large valleys and deep holes.

The Way Ahead
What do you do when you don't fit in? Edwin never really felt many connections to other people, but as a physics student, that was fine. He didn't really need it, anyway. He was content to peel back the mysteries of the universe... not that there were many left to find. Modern-day research was just too well-established, too well-trodden for any single enthusiast to make any significant headway. But that doesn't apply to other worlds. Not ones where magic and Skills run rampant, where well-defined roles and Classes dominate much of society with little room for novel experimentation from its residents. That kind of world would be perfect for an overeager, newly-minted Alchemist to make his mark. Things are never that easy, though. The Way Ahead is a very slice-of-life story following the story of someone trying to find his place in a world that doesn't know what to do with him. Expect lots of science, lots of alchemy, a few sarcastic quips by the System, and lots of exploration involving the world, self-discovery, and above all, science. After all, further research is always required. Updates every other day at 9 AM PST. Congratulations! For writing a story during the month of November, you have unlocked the Royal Road Writathon Participant path!
