Psychic Parasite: Final Serenity - Chapter 27

“I still…don’t want to kill you. I don’t want to live in guilt for the rest of my life…” Rhachis Ancestor Strongest said, suddenly stopping when he was slapped by Atika Light. Even though the attack itself didn’t even scratch him, the notion behind it hurt him.

“Don’t be weak!” Atika Light bellowed, “How long would I be alive? 10 years? 20 years? I would have to die anyway. I have already attained my maximum growth. There is only greater benefit if you obtain my power now.”

“This discussion ends here,” She said, standing a couple of metres away from Rhachis Ancestor Strongest, “Gajara Rahi’s plot runs deep; the Mind Hound is just a facet of them. Laila is planning something massive too. And, the second part of Gajara Rahi, now calling herself as Jyavreh Sahi is the Skep King that was birthed recently.”

“Now, don’t delay your growth anymore. Wield my powers to their true potential.” Atika Light raised her hands, “Now, do it!”

“I’ll never forget you, mother. For all my life, for as long as I live, I’ll follow your teachings.” Sporting an expression of intense pain on his face, Rhachis Ancestor Strongest slowly got up, tears streaming as he gently pulled Atika Light in his embrace.

“Silly, you will never forget anything. That’s what your power entails…” Atika Light gently patted the back of his head, consoling him as she felt his warmth for the last time, “Your back is wide, just like your dad. You are capable of shouldering this world’s fate on your shoulders.”

“I’m always proud of you.” Atika Light gently spoke until her voice turned into a whisper as a murky stream exited Rhachis Ancestor Strongest and wrapped around her, turning her body ethereal before fully dissolving into it.

“Memoir Beckoner!” Rhachis Ancestor Strongest retracted the murky stream into himself, collapsing to the ground immediately as he shed tears, trembling as he was unable to control himself anymore, crying at the top of his voice, “Ahhhhhhhh!”

Boom!

The entire Marble City trembled as the quakes began to become more and more intense. Rhachis Ancestor Light and Psychic Ancestor Marble immediately arrived at the source, gazing at the wailing figure of Rhachis Ancestor Strongest.

The two looked at each other, immediately taking action as they sealed the room in a layer of light and marble, immediately noticing faint cracks begin to form on them nonstop. And at the centre, surrounding Rhachis Ancestor Strongest was an overbearing fluctuation, an aura of magnitude they had never encountered before.

“T-This…?” Rhachis Ancestor Light shuddered at the presence, “His Tier 6 Skill hasn’t even finished forming. This level of power…makes no sense!”

“Rhachis Ancestor Strongest…” Psychic Ancestor Marble muttered, “I didn’t completely understand why Atika Light wanted to coin him this title and spread the news to the rest of the world. But now I understand.”

The two Ancestors stared at the wailing figure within while trying their best to prevent any shockwaves from damaging Marble City.

…

Situated more than a thousand kilometres to the west of Marble City, hovering atop the Arabian Sea was a gigantic Web World. And, this was one of the three Web Worlds that formed the core of the Floating Spiders, belonging to the Warlord Family that was only comprised of a small number of Tier 5 Floating Spiders.

Suddenly, the Web World trembled before a figure burst out, colliding into the seawater as it struggled to breathe, gasping for air. It was a Floating Spider with a plain appearance, looking no different to a Tier 1 Floating Spiders. But, its size was around 40 metres.

Rhachis Ancestor Warlord!

“This…presence!” It shuddered, flailing about as it inspected itself, muttering, “What is this…feeling of fear? This is originating from my…Unranked Skill?”

It hurriedly gazed towards the east, frowning, “Just…what is happening in Marble City?”

Its body continued to tremble as an intense sense of fear overwhelmed it, suddenly causing it to initiate its Warlord Transformation and become crazy, unleashing the beam of Forged Line everywhere, raising waves of destruction.

The other two Ancestors of the Floating Spiders were alerted as they hurriedly rushed towards it, noticing Rhachis Ancestor Warlord thrashing about in a state of Frenzy.

“Dammit! What happened now?”

“Quick! Let’s subdue it first. It’s just mindlessly flailing about now. So, we can overwhelm it!”

The two Ancestors immediately pounced upon Rhachis Ancestor Warlord, soon tying it up into a cocoon to constrict it, eventually sighing in relief when the thrashing died down.

Soon, Rhachis Ancestor Warlord regained clarity of mind, saying as it gazed at the other two Floating Spider Ancestors, “Something incredibly scary is brewing within Marble City.”

…

“I’m fine now. Thank you for your concern.” Rhachis Ancestor Strongest got up, wiping his tears as he looked at Rhachis Ancestor Light and Psychic Ancestor Marble, “Sorry for making you worry.”

“Did you…?” Psychic Ancestor Marble looked around, failing to notice Atika Light anymore, not in the room, in the building, or even the entirety of Marble City.

“Yes,” Rhachis Ancestor Strongest nodded, “Please leave me alone for some time. I need to rest.”

“Alright, call us if you need anything.” Saying their pieces, the two Ancestors vanished.

Sighing, Rhachis Ancestor Strongest looked at the empty house, slumping on the ground as he felt tired. Suddenly, a pair of hands wrapped around his neck, whispering to him, “You did well, son.”

“Mom, is this really the right way?” He muttered, turning around to see the figure of Atika Light behind him.

“Of course,” Atika Light nodded, smiling in response, “I may just be a part of your memory now. But I am what I have been until my death. And, I’ll continue living on in your memory, forever.”

“Now, activate my ability and use it to comprehend your abilities. It would hasten your Tier 6 Skill’s nurturing.” She spoke.

“I’ll summon you immediately once I’m done, mother.” Rhachis Ancestor Strongest nodded, watching the other party smile before collapsing into a pool of murky water, vanishing instantly. Immediately, a mysterious power welled up from deep within him, causing a surge of information in his mind as his body morphed.
