Chapter 1076: CHAPTER 1045 HOLY KNIGHT
Any world gate would be investigated, the lower planes are now greatly sought after by all the Mythical Beast Clan, they had realised just how weak they are without the blessing of their ancestor and the protection of this plane.
They had created a plan in order to nurture super soldiers, a certain number of branch clan members would be sent to lower worlds in order to temper themselves through fights without relying on their bloodline.
They would then be able to return to Beast Plane once they reached Saint Realm, then, they would be tested by the elders of the clan and if they managed to pass the test, their bloodline would be purified and they would then be sent to battle with other geniuses of other clans.
This would definitely take a long time but once they are successful, the Mythical Beast Clan would solidify their status to other planes, according to the scholars of Gaia, the other planes would also be attacked.
The core would certainly survive since it is now verified that this universe is sending Divine Beings to protect the higher plane of existence but none of them are omnipotent.
Currently inside Gaia, Shadowslash was now recuperating inside Time World, he was recovering but also improving by the second, with the physical body returning to this universe, he was now trying to fuse with but once again, their connection was cut off.
Back to the physical body, with the existence of the prince helping him, Shadowslash plans for world dominance are slowly falling into place.
.....
With his strength and the threat of the dungeons, many civilians started worshipping him, he absorbed the fate energy in order to strengthen The Fragment, since even the Divines sought after fate energy, it would certainly have an effect on The Fragment.
Beyond his expectation, fate energy was something that The Fragment greedily sought for, if he did not control it, he would have been affected and would become an entity that only sought for fate energy.
He wiped his sweat and thought ‘That was close, it seemed that The Fragment had already encroached itself into my subconscious, I just hope my Nascent Soul would be able to tame it.’
A fragment of a once powerful universe is something that he just cannot let go, even though it is powerful enough to be able to control his soul, he is still reluctant to just throw it away.
He was now sitting atop the throne that his believers built for him, since this world operates at a different timeframe, he was now nearing the completion of the first foundation of his city, it was now as big as two regular cities back in Gaia.
The city is called New Dawn but most people call it, the city of god, this city was actually registered underneath the name of the sixth prince.
Currently, the dungeons are now on the verge of activating, day by day, Shadowslash would use his authority over The Fragment to issue a countdown, the people of this world are getting nervous day by day.
Many left their home, especially those that are in a close proximity to a dungeon gate, Shadowslash was actually feeling guilty receiving this type of news but now that The Fragment has absorbed fate energy from this world, the situation is no longer reversible.
“Great lord, Arnold has returned and he has accomplished your mission, he sought an audience to the Saintess, shall we let him?”
Shadowslash who was sitting on his throne opens his eyes and looks at the messenger, this person was a villager that had done multiple good deeds.
He was immediately promoted to become the messenger of his church, he came down from his throne and said “Emilio, bring Arnold to the center of the city, bring everyone currently free, I am going to bless my first Holy Knight.”
Emilio was shocked, after becoming a messenger, he received a blessing that makes him hear the inner thoughts of people and even understand animals.
His physical constitution has also made some improvements, it was comparable to the elite knights of this world and he is constantly improving just by exercising in a moderate manner.
He quickly snaps out of his daze and bows to his lord before racing out of the church, Shadowslash turns towards a specific direction and his eyes flash with a knowing light.
“In three days, all the dungeons will activate, multiple monsters of different races would storm this world, countless beings would die, many locations would experience drastic change.” He will create a group of knights to protect the helpless in this apocalypse that he had created.
He disappeared from his spot and appears on the stage in center square, everyone who was passing by froze in shock, then one by one, all of them kneel, Shadowslash was forced to use his divine sense to stop a couple of people that have different conditions that makes kneeling a bit difficult for them.
He waves his hand and stands there in silence, the people were looking at him with excitement, they do not know why he is here but they knew that it must be something important.
Ivy also appears riding a winged horse, her aura is quite grandiose, even though she still looks like a child, no adults present managed to look at her in the eyes.
She pouted at Shadowslash, she is the only person able to react like this in his presence, she is the Saintess that is capable of summoning wind and thunder with just a wave of her hand.
Suddenly, Emilio arrives and is about to announce something but was stunned to see his lord already standing on the stage.
He still recovered though, he started shouting “Everyone, Arnold have returned and have completed the mission that our God had given to him, he will be the first individual to become a Holy Knight, witness the birth of another miracle!”
The entire city became festive, the workers that were busy building stopped and all of them raced towards the center square.
The rest of the people also went to the square, Arnold was escorted by the temporary knights of the city, all of them were looking at him with envy.
Best
Unfortunately, they knew that they would not be able to accomplish the mission that Shadowslash has given, it is because they are not that persuasive.
Arnold felt proud, it took him a long time to finish the task but because of the countdown, the civilians of the villages that were quite reluctant at first finally accepted his suggestion.
He looks at the people present and nods at them, he has become much more familiar with the common folks after his journey, since he cannot use force or fear, he had to rely on his wit and a bright smile.
When he is finally in front of the being that had always been in his mind on his entire journey, he could not help but feel emotional.
Shadowslash saw that everyone was very noisy, they are quite envious because it was Arnold that will be the first one to be appointed as the Holy Knight of their kingdom.
As they continued talking with each other, Ivy became displeased, she tapped her sword to the floor and shouted using Mana “Silence in the presence of our great lord!”
Without complaint, everyone became silent, Shadowslash looked at Ivy and nodded, it seemed that she had finally become accustomed to her job, she at first was extremely timid and awkward being appointed as the Saintess but after his small brainwashing, she became both proud and confident.
He started speaking “Everyone, today, you are going to witness the birth of the supreme guardian of this world.”
He looks at Arnold and says “If you become a Holy Knight, you must not only protect this kingdom but also other innocent people, as a Holy Knight you will obtain great strength from my blessing.”
“Your lifespan would increase by 100 years and would continue to increase as your power improved, to continuously improve your strength, you both need to accumulate good karma and kill monsters.”
Everyone gasped, they did not expect such rewards but Shadowslash next following words shut them up “These are the basic gifts that you would receive for the more advanced ones, you need to explore it by yourself, this will be considered as a test for you.”
Basic Gift! They are just basic rewards that a Holy Knight will receive, this is astonishing, Arnold started trembling as his breath became more hurried, he was in a state of extreme excitement, he tried to calm himself but it was just too much.
Ivy spoke “My lord, after Arnold became a Holy Knight, are you going to send him to save others and bring them here before the apocalypse descends on this world?”
Shadowslash smiled and rubbed her head “As expected of my Saintess, you already knew my plans, yes, this is exactly my plan, I pity those that are innocent and helpless that would be swept by the madness of both their kind and the monsters.”
