Chapter 49 - 49 : Elven City (1/2)

As he saw his stats, Arthur was not really surprised, he sort of expected when he saw how his speed doubled, however, he still can't get used to those big numbers, it's really a blessing that he was reincarnated into a parasite, or else even with hard-work and amazing talent, there is just no way he would have achieved his current strength.

Arthur didn't think too much of the stats and asked Loli a few more questions, but all he got was

I don't know...

I'm not authorized to answer.

There is a good thing which is that she changed the color back, however, she didn't answer even a single question which irritated him, she was no different than the last system, except being more annoying.

At least, unless he talks to her, she never engages in a conversation, and like that, he can be more at peace from that brat.

Arthur asked Lucy to open her status window, and surprisingly, it was a blue one and there was no sound of the girl, it was just a usual system, he was first confused because Lucy had the '0' stats like him, however, she didn't get a new system, it was intriguing but he decided to give up thinking about that as it will only lead to more questions.

..

The journey proceeded slowly toward the elven city, even after 10 days have passed, nothing happened, they would rest at night and resume the trip early in the morning.

Saly would sometimes go play with the kids who were with Mary, as for Lucy and Arthur, they did nothing, Lucy would train when she's bored, she is unlike Arthur, with a bit of training, she can raise her stats, however, he can't, no matter how much he tried, he can't raise them unless he creates a new skill which is extremely hard, or possess corpses.

It didn't bother him that much, he would hop on Astrith and read books whenever he's free, thanks to [Sixth sense] he could sense if there were any enemies, but except a few beasts which observed from far away, there was nothing worth paying attention to.

Arthur even sneaked out of the camp every night to search for a monster to kill, he wanted to gain more stats, even if it was a little, the trip was so boring and they were very slow, he was sure that if he went with Lucy and Saly, they would have already arrived at their destination.

Since it's going to be too bothersome to stick with them and travel slowly, Arthur informed Belic that he would go ahead with Lucy and Saly.

He could bring Mary and the kids but he didn't, they were going to go on Astrith and he can't possibly fit all of them, even if he can, Arthur decided against it.

On the 11th day, Arthur and the other went ahead, and with Astrith speed, it would surely take them less time to arrive.

...

The trip on Astrith's back was comfortable and relatively smooth, in just 15 hours, they already arrived.

However, what stunned Arthur and the rest is that they could see a humongous tree, even from hundreds of kilometers, it was still visible, it was so gigantic that can no longer be called a tree.

Once they were close enough, the sky was no longer bright from the sun, there were several branches which were like small mountains and leaves which are as big as a carriage, it was fascinating to see.

This tree was obviously the world tree, Arthur already read that its thickness is several kilometers, and it is nourishing the whole continent so it would not collapse, but seeing is believing, reading something on a book is not the same as seeing it with your eyes.

...

Furthermore, in the course of this short trip, Arthur discovered a few things about [Lost Magic], when he asked Loli why he can't use the previous attributes, such as a void, and why did darkness disappear, she surprisingly answered him.

Apparently, they did not disappear, it's just that they are no longer an attribute, but were transformed into their original form.

Lost Magic

⚫ Creation : Mental power

⚫ void magic : Mana

⚫ Chaotic dark magic : Dark mana

⚫ Eclipse magic {Void + Chaotic dark} : Dark Mana

⚫?????????????????????????

⚫????????????????????????

..

Loli showed him this window and told him that [Lost Magic] has many functions, it's just that he needs to discover them alone or else they won't show up, and the reason he couldn't use Void Magic or Chaotic Dark Magic is because he can't right now.

Fortunately, her explanation was rather detailed so he kind of grasped the reason behind that, it's actually because of him, more precisely, his strength, the two attributes are no longer normal magic, but evolved into a terrifying magic which cannot be used with his current power.

Loli even said that void especially, is one of the ancient magic and it is the more fearsome one, as there were universes completely made from the void.

As for dark, she didn't know about it, it's just that Zodiak somehow invented it, nothing more than that.

Arthur asked her to give him approximately how much his stats need to rise so he can use them again, however, she didn't know either.

There was also the [Eclipse Magic], he heard from Loli that he can use it right now and it's indeed a powerful magic, but his control over it will not be perfect as he was still too weak to completely grasp it, nevertheless, Arthur wanted to test it, and that's what he did.
