Chapter 195 - 167.5 : Borrowed Power (2/2)
”ARK, do you know how I can gain mastery in Spatial Magic?”
After he asked, he waited a few minutes but he heard no response. Despite not hearing an answer, Arthur asked a few more questions and seemed like a madman blabbering alone. After a while of this, he finally gave up.
He gently sighed and stared at the emptiness one final time before leaving the ARK.
However, what he didn't know was that after his disappearance, the man who resembled him exactly appeared and stared at the spot where Arthur was sitting while mumbling
”This is exactly why being a parasite is a heaven at first but hell later. Borrowed power will always be borrowed *sigh*”
just as he appeared, he vanished again without any sound. The only thing left was the rotating cube, seemingly never going to stop spinning for all eternality.
Arthur slept soundlessly after he left the ARK. With infinite Stamina or Cultivators who became ascended to the Divine Realm, they could spend years without sleep, it is simply nothing to be mentioned. But there are rare people who prefer sleeping, however, such people are exceedingly rare.
Most would spend their time cultivating or meditating to calm their minds and clear their hearts. As he didn't sleep in a long time, Arthur didn't expect much and only wanted to close his eyes and rest for a bit. However, something strange occurred as he was sleeping, he dreamt about incomprehensible things. The dream felt real yet his vision was blurry.
He was certain that he had a similar dream in the past, he was in a vast green land with bloomed flowers and a clear blue sky. To the north was a forest with thick tall trees but what was strange is when he tried looking at his hands in this realistic dream, he found them to be very blurry as if a white fog was enveloping them.
As he looked behind him, he saw a small wooden hut and a garden with a few sunflowers, making the scene even more beautiful and breathtaking. It was too peaceful and gave him warmth and a sense of belonging.
As his eyes were enjoying this extremely realistic and beautiful scene, a slender figure left the hut carrying something in her hands. Although he couldn't exactly see her facial features, Arthur knew for sure that it was Lucy. She had a long silky silver hair that was mesmerizing when the sun rays landed on it and made it look shiny. She walked towards him and carried an infant who was laughing cutely.
Unfortunately, this dream didn't last long as his vision blackened before she managed to get closer to him and he returned to the inn room. Much to his surprise, he was sweating a bit which is not something that should happen with a Stamina like his.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't curious about this dream as it is the second time that it happened, but he had no clues and it was not the right time to dwell on it. Arthur quickly cleaned himself and possessed the body of a young man around the age of twenty, he wore simple clothes. He hid the long chains well so the others couldn't see them and left the room.
