Chapter 200 - Parasite Host
Melantha suddenly showed up beside Baroque.
After asking the other workers to go away, she revealed a serious expression and questioned the old man.
“Mister Baroque… Can you tell me why Bouy abandoned her shell and invaded him as her core?”
Unlike the others, Melantha knew Parasite Queen’s true identity—Bouy the Parasite, a mutated Elementalist.
By using her Parasite Art, Bouy could fully manipulate someone, even “becoming” her target.
And this was not the only thing Melantha knew.
For example, Bouy appeared to be a member of Brute Cavern, but she was actually a spy placed here by Floating Mech City.
There were… a few, who were actually concerned at Baron Milk’s condition.
On one of the VIP seats, a hooded man glared at the damaged body of Parasite Queen and howled, “Now keep that up! Bleed! How dare you hurt my precious! I’ll make you regret forever for being born! When the last drop of your blood leaves your flesh, I’ll seal your soul inside my furnace and burn it in flames for eternity!”
…
Toby circled around Angor anxiously. He had no idea what was going on. He already knocked that stinky woman out. Why is my young master not awake?
The bird flew under Angor’s hood and gently poked Angor’s face with his beak.
No matter how he poked and called, Angor lied on the ground, motionless, like a… corpse.
For the first time in his life, Toby felt fear.
Despite the fact that Angor was always “quarreling” with him, Toby knew how he loved living with the human boy.
Toby was not the reason for Angor’s current situation, but the bird still blamed himself for being too weak. If only he was strong enough to protect Angor…
Toby only considered his strength for the first time. Ever since he was born, no one ever showed hostility to him, so Toby did not mind being weak or strong.
At this moment, Toby desperately wished to grow stronger and protect those he cared for.
…
Angor knew nothing about his situation. The discussions among the audience, the particular attention from a certain pervert, and Toby’s change in mind… he knew none of these.
As Baroque said, he was still inside the battlefield. Not on the arena, but a battlefield he never expected to see.
A battlefield that determined his body and soul.
It all happened at the start of his match.
When the countdown timer on the screen ended, Angor quickly moved to cast a defensive spell.
Right at that moment, he saw a shadowy figure made from small, greenish particles in his sight.
No, he did not “see” the figure. It directly showed up on the retina in his eye.
The shadow looked like a woman.
Before he could figure out what happened, he noticed that he could no longer control his body. In the next moment, he found himself falling into a strange place.
The placed looked like his mind space, with only endless darkness and chaos in there. But he did not see his Axes of the Universe and his spirit model.
He could not feel himself anymore. He was now… existing as his own spirit.
Suddenly, the dark space was illuminated by a green light and followed by some kind of flat plants which appeared and grew quickly, gradually becoming a green flower bud.
The flower bud slowly spread open in a beautiful way. In the end, it became a giant, green flower with layered petals like those found on a rose.
In the center of the flower stood the bright, decently-shaped body of a woman.
