Chapter 13 - 14 : Evolve (2/2)

Are you sure you want to choose humanoid parasite?

”Yes.”

*The creation of your body will begin immediately, while your body is being created you are vulnerable.*

'Fuck why didn't they tell me that sooner argggggggggg'

Just as the notifications finished, Arthur was forcefully sent out of his current 'body' and fell on the ground with his real body, he felt his bones breaking and flesh being ripped apart, it was by no means just 'painful' , this level of pain was beyond imagination , even the torture he received was completely nothing compared to this pain.

Soon enough all his bones were broken and flesh was skinned, if you see him now you would only see a small creature with only bones, a small heart beating, and a brain, it looked really disgusting and anyone who saw him would throw out. He fell unconscious from the pain but he soon woke up again because of it, he couldn't help but wish for the pain immunity he got when he was in Zodiak's body it would really help him out now.

The pain stopped for a moment so he thought it was finally over but his wishes were soon crushed as a pain even more immense than the previous one enveloped him from every corner of what was left of his body, his mind was blank as he was only thinking of when will this pain vanish. 5 minutes , 10 minutes , 20 minutes.... time passed slowly as he was still suffering and twitching but if someone lookedat him, they would see a humanoid skeleton forming slowly but surely, after 1 hour you could only see half a skeleton head formed and in it there was a brain which was expanding little by little . Arthur was waiting for the moment the pain slowed but he knew it would take a long time as he could feel his head being formed slowly.

5 hours passed since the creating of the body began and now all the bones in his body were formed, he surprisingly could feel his heavy breathingeven with only being a skeleton and he could even talk but he didn't dare try because even trying to move a little would bring more pain to him so he just remained motionless and waited for his body to finish creating itself while he endured the pain silently. Unexpectedly, the pain not only wasn't going down, instead, it was escalating rapidly and he couldn't control himself from screaming with all his might as the pain just didn't stop increasing, he felt that this was not at a level a human can endure.His screaming was so loud that even though he was some distance away from Lucy, she still heard a screaming voice.

The voice seemed slightly similar to the black-robed man that she still didn't know his name, so she quickly rushed to where the noise came from as it was the first time she heard him scream like that , it seemed like he was in deep suffering and the mere thought of him dying struck her , she felt afraid and anxious , she told him a few hours agoshe would think about his confession but when she heard his loud screams.

He who protected her, he who cared for her and loved her, he a man who was reincarnated and had a tragic past similar to her, she thought that if something happened to him she would regret it for the rest of her life.

She guessedthat she only cried when she heard his story because of how similar he was to her and even though she felt a special bond between him and her, she didn't think it was love, so when he confessed to her she was startled a little but she couldn't bring herself to tell him that she did not love him. But now that hearing his suffering screams filled pain, she dashed toward the voice with tears flowing her face non-stop

'I-I... what am I doing... I shouldn't repeat my past mistakes.... Lucy! Don't let your feelings control you! You should flee! Flee far away and only return to slaughter them all when you're stronger! Ignore such foolish feelings! LUCY!'

Despite her unceasing warnings, her body betrayed was a step acted on its own as it continued to head towards the source of the voice. Her thoughts soon followed, her panicked expression seened to relax a bit as she seemed to realize something, her eyes flashed with a strange light and her breathing quickened.

When she arrived at where Arthur was she saw his previous corpse laying down not for away from her and some distance from it there was another skeleton which had bloody flesh on it, she could see with her naked eyes that flash, muscles are beings created rapidly. She soon heard the scream coming out of that scream and it was very very loud, she realised it was Arthur but still didn't understand what exactly was going on , she rushed next to him and without hesitation held his bony hand as she looked at him with concern, once she realised her true thoughts for him she didn't want to lose him without even being able to tell him her feelings.

Arthur felt something soft and warm touch his hand, he felt relieved and happy as he knew for sure it was Lucy, as his thoughts drifted the pain still increased but her being with him helped him calm down a little and the screamed lessened bit by bit until it completely disappeared even though the pain continued. His body was forming and after 5 more hours he could feel that it's almost finished as his exterior body was the same as a human except he had an extremly pale white skin and he was completly naked but Lucy embarassed by the sight grabbed the nearby dark robe and put it on him but even after she did that she still didn't let go of his hand as she was very worried about him but she calmed down a little because she noticed that he somehow managed to create a body but the cost was tremendous pain as anyone may have noticed from the intense screaming.

One more hour passed, and finally the creating of the body finished, his appearance was exactly the same as in his previous world except his eyes were blood red which made him more handsome , actually his looks were average compared to famous actors or models but with his red eyes and pale white skin, he really looked extremely charming and handsome. Once the Creation was completed a lot of notifications came 'ting' 'ting'....

Arthur was brimming with happiness but not because he saw his overpowered stats and new skills but because when he opened his eyes he saw Lucy smiling at him with her breath-taking beauty, her eyes that would suck you in at any moment, he felt somehow magically drawn to those serious and silent features. Though she always avoided his gaze or would only stare for a moment, he couldn't help but notice a tinge of redness on her cheeks, and along with beautiful long silver hair, it made her look like a goddess.

Lucy noticed Arthur waking up and tried to separate her hands from his but was surprised to see him not letting go of her, she struggled a little before finally giving up. Arthur who was laying on the floor naked only covered with his black robe soon realized that it was anawkward situation so after enjoying the feel of her hands he soon let go of her and quickly got up and changed but he still didn't forget to say ”thank you” to her, his voice seemed more gentle now and his smile was alluring. Lucy blushed a little when she saw his face as she seemed to remember something embarrassing to she soon turned her head as to not look at him changing. After having worn the black robe, Arthur headed toward Kodiak's body and took the boots gloves and wore them he also put the 2 rings in his fingers then he turned around to Lucy and spoke gently

”I somehow managed to create my own body but I only was able to go through that hellish pain with you , it may not seem a lot for you but holding my hand really helped me calm down and forget the pain even for big, also I sincerely apologize that you had to touch my body as I know you hate humans and men especially, I am really sorry.”

The girl was surprised by what he said, but she her lips curved to form an enchanting smile on her face and said with her melodious voice which didn't contain even a hint of coldness in it

”You know , when I heard you screaming I feeling of urgency, as if I would lose something important and when I saw you in that state my heart ached, and soon realized that I too have to come to love you, maybe I'm being foolish again and acting upon my feelings, but I just couldn't turn back and go.”

Just as she finished speaking she unexpectedly ran to Arthur and hugged tightly without letting go, as for him he was dumbstruck he didn't believe what just happened as not even in his dreams did he think she is in love with him because he heard her past and knew she absolutely hated man, so even touching them would be considered a miracle and now seeing her hugging didn't register in his mind but nevertheless he unconsciously hugged her back but did not use much force, instead he did it gently and as caring as possible for he didn't want to remind her of what happened to her in the past and what those guys did to her.

time slowly passed as they both stayed like that,Arthur finally broke the silence by saying softly

”I didn't get to tell you my name, I am called Arthur as for my last name I don't have one and I don't wish to use my former one” after he spoke their hug finally come to an end but nevertheless he kept patting her head, he quite liked that feeling and she didn't seem to mind it that much so he just continued at it.
