Chapter 598

"Why did it aim for you? I’m the one with the flags . "

Lucy was confused about the robot’s actions, which seemed illogical . Arthur had no enmity with them and as one of the contestants, it’s more beneficial to take down the one with the most flags . Even Arthur didn’t know why he was attacked, nonetheless, he didn’t dwell too much on the matter .

He walked up to the robot and transformed into a small black whirlpool that attempted to enter robot only for it to be pushed back . The robot didn’t resemble its original form, however, with Arthur’s current race, he just needs a main part of a host to be able to possess it . For example, if he were to possess a head, the rest of the body will instantly recover, it’s an advantage he didn’t have back in the day .

Sadly, when he tried to possess the robots, it didn’t work at all .

"Not working?"-Lucy

"Apparently not . " He sighed and appraised the robot but the results were unsatisfactory and too little .

"I think it’s considered an object and not a living being . It’s unfortunate . "

That was the only explanation for the rejections he just experienced . The robot was strong and it had interesting skills, some which can be very helpful to the parasite but it didn’t seem he’ll be able to get his hands on them anytime soon .

"I’ve heard that robots such as this one are the main force of the System Universe . The players are not as obedient as those mindless machines... come to think of it, wasn’t Lolitta half-human half-machine?"-Lucy

She mentioned the pink-haired little girl who was annoyingly loud and talkative . She disappeared from Earth and up to this day, Arthur has no idea where she went but it certainly had to do with the capsule he entrusted her to safe keep and decipher .

"There’s also this core . "

As he had more Strength than Lucy, Arthur was able to lift the robot’s black core and inspect it . Appraisal gave no results and the energy lurking inside the ball was ominous and very dangerous . It made his Dark Magic turbulent and momentarily unstable .

"This should be the infamous Dark Matter?"

"En! On the Cloud Sea Universe, Nether Energy is commonly used, followed by Mana and Qi . However, in the System Universe, most players rely on Mana while robots use Dark Matter, a volatile and powerful type of energy . I’ve heard my sister once mention Antimatter, a unique kind of energy that’s very hard to produce and can counter everything . Supposedly, only a few expensive robots can use it in all the multiverse . "

Arthur tried probing the black robotic core using different kinds of attributes but none worked . It couldn’t even be stored inside Zodiak’s ring so he was forced to give it up .

When she had beaten the robot into a wreck, Lucy retrieved its flag and once again increased the expected number of points she’ll receive when this event is over . Quite surprisingly, even after lingering in this area for ten minutes, there was no one who attacked them or even got close .

It wasn’t that people were scared but the place was insanely huge and the number of contestants isn’t proportionally smaller . When the couple was about to leave, the voice of the Red Tower rang inside their head .

*All the rabbits on the 6th floor have been caught . 59 contestants will immediately be disqualified . *

After a very brief silence, it spoke again .

*129 contestants are on the 7th floor . The event will end when only 100 are left . *

*Special notice: Contestant Losha Alpenwatcher was able to kill three rabbits (merged) and earned 2,000,000 points along with a special pass to the 8th floor . *

"Tsk! I really don’t like her . "

Arthur coldly commented, causing Lucy to chuckle at his childish behavior . Though she was only Losha’s disciple for a short time, she was eternally grateful and knew that the female reincarnator was a good person despite her grumpy attitude and overbearing arrogance .

...

A couple of minutes later, Arthur and Lucy found two presences, both engaged in a heated fight against each other . One was a familiar middle-aged man with long black hair and piercing eyes, the Black Seat of the Death, while the other was a woman with extremely long dark hair . As she was facing a person using Destruction Magic, the woman was struggling and barely able to defend herself .

Lucy was about to dash at the woman in order to steal her flag but Arthur held her hand, his gaze focusing on the woman .

"What’s wrong?"

Even Arthur didn’t know why he did that . He closed his eyes and massaged his temples, feeling a bit uncomfortable . It’s the first time he’s feeling like this but the source was definitely the creation magic handed it to him by Bilgart .

"Let’s not interfere... for now . "

Seeing his serious expression, Lucy didn’t insist and remained next to her husband, though they didn’t get to watch Forne’s battle for long as a loud roar came from the side, alarming the couple .

Arthur reacted first, his body became enveloped in lightning as it shot toward the assailant, which a tall and muscular beastmen . His fur was on fire and he emitted a suffocating pressure as he struck with his large fist .

The beastmen looked like a lion except for his humanoid figure, his height was nearly double an average human and his muscles were exceptionally big . Arthur met this giant head-on, also striking with his fist, which was glowing with a green light .

In comparison to the lion, Arthur’s fist was going at a slow pace but the force behind it was simply monstrous . It didn’t take long for the two to clash, releasing a loud explosion and pushing Lucy a few steps to the back . They remained at a momentary stalemate before Arthur was sent flying a hundred or so meters . Although he landed safely on the ground and didn’t seem injured, the very fact that he was overpowered in terms of strength greatly surprised him .

Lucy was about to join in only for him to stop her, signaling her to watch from the side . The lion did attack out of nowhere but his punch wasn’t meant to kill and seemed more like a test .

Indeed, just like Arthur had suspected, the beastmen grinned at the parasite and said:

"I’ve looked everywhere for you!"

Hearing this, the parasite creased his brow and retorted:

"What for? I don’t recall meeting you in the past . "

"Hahaha we haven’t met but that doesn’t mean I don’t know you . For body cultivators like me, only parasites, who can steal other people’s power, can physically match us so we don’t get to enjoy exciting fights a lot, you see . "

As the lion as rambling, Arthur activated Appraisal
