Chapter 690 - 634: The Metropolis (1/2)
”How do I restore my memories?”
Arthur and Lucy was sitting around a small campfire, both taking an unneeded rest before they continue their new journey. Now that she became his slave, Arthur became less wary of the White Specter and didn't suspect that she's lying, nonetheless, he still didn't fully trust her.
His behavior towards her, however, became relatively better and less aggressive. Moreover, Lucy would use any opportunity to get close to him and try to seduce him. Whether it's linking her arms around his, jumping on him or performing seductive poses. In fact, even right now, she was doing it.
She was wearing a very short white dress which revealed almost the entirety of her thighs and her well-developed but not bulging b.r.e.a.s.ts. The parasite, at first, would look away but after experiencing this more often than not, he would just enjoy the sight but restrain from doing anything, unfortunately for his wife.
”I don't know. Perhaps by experiencing past events, you'll slowly regain them.”
”Past events? Like what exactly?”
Lucy put her index on her lips and giggled before winking at him and responding,
”Like repeated s.e.x.u.a.l intercourse? Or cuddling?”
Hearing this, Arthur let out a long sigh, stood up and got rid of the campfire, seemingly not paying attention to what was just said.
Actually, both were heading toward ancient but mysterious ruins on the edge of this world. From what they've gathered, it's a dangerous zone riddled with perils and the active machines protecting the place managed to even kill some of the high-leveled adventurers.
Arthur was very interested in the ruins and wanted to go no matter what. As for Lucy, her only goal was to accompany him wherever he goes… the destination and enemies mattered little to her.
…
Five days after their departure, with the use of a very fast Spirit Boat in Lucy's possession, the couple reached the edge of this small and neglected world.
Unlike planets or stars, a realm like this one has an end and when you reach it, you'll be able to gaze at the empty Void, which is not easily reached, never mind breached.
What welcomed the sight of the parasite and the white specter was a mess of void and a shiny, glorious metropolis dyed in a golden, eye-catching radiance. The city seemed to be in its own Spatial Dimension, which was somehow connected to this world through a narrow passage riddled with thousands of fly-sized buzzing machines wandering around.
”Legends speak about a very old race well-versed in architecture and crafting all sorts of stuff. One day, all the members of that Race blinked out of existence, never to be seen. They left their belongings here and cities such as this one are built by that intellectual race.”
Lucy pointed at the minuscule yet fast and powerful machines while adding, ”Those machines too, were built by them.”
”I can't see their Levels.”
”It's because they don't have a Level. They are unrelated to the System and, in your current state, you can, at most, handle ten of them so stay behind me and let me lead the way.”
