Chapter 1077: CHAPTER 1046 RETURNING BACK TO GAIA

Arnold swore “Oh my great lord, I will uphold the spirit of the Holy Knight and shine through the incoming darkness carrying your name!”

Shadowslash nodded, he then suggested to him “Holy Knights are capable of increasing the strength of his or her subordinates, if you wanted to save as many people as you wanted, you need to create a group that would follow your command.”

Arnold was stunned so were the people present, quickly they snapped out of their daze and directed their gaze filled with excitement and desire towards him.

Feeling the burning gaze of the people, Arnold was not fazed, he only bowed to his lord while pondering on which individuals he shall train to become his army.

Shadowslash then took out an orb filled with his Mana and a hint of bloodline from his dragon bloodline, the orb fused with Arnold’s body and he immediately started experiencing great change from his body.

The process should be painful but Shadowslash actually negated the senses of Arnold because he knew just how excruciating the process of this transformation truly is.

Seeing that Arnold was now in the final stage of his transformation, Shadowslash took out an armour that was inscribed with magic runes, the armour fused with its target and instantly, the sky became extremely bright.

.....

Arnold’s body and spirit rejected the dragon bloodline but the sword that accompanied the full set of armour accepted it, upon seeing this, Shadowslash took out a couple of orbs that contained multiple different bloodlines from different beings that came from dungeons.

One of them actually reacted violently, What is shocking is that, the bloodline compatible with Arnold came from a middle class monster called the centaur.

Shadowslash smiles, he throws the bloodline into Arnold’s body, this would not change his appearance whatsoever but it would increase his physical strength, endurance and his ability to ride horse type mounts.

He will be a great cavalry knight, also, the bloodline would continue to evolve as long as Arnold obtains the requirement for the rank up of his bloodline.

After a couple of minutes of miraculous transformation, Arnold finally obtains the strength that is comparable to a C Class monster of the same level, together with the armour that Shadowslash has given to him, he could match up against a B Class monster.

He started speaking once again “Arnold, you have awakened as a C Class Holy Knight, you could see your status by using the Divine Statue on the church.”

He waves his hand and disappears in front of everyone, Arnold was shocked by his sudden growth but he quickly realised that he had not said his farewell to his lord making him feel guilty.

Ivy spoke to him “I suggest that you find a good horse to become your partner, your strength would certainly increase if you manage to find a perfect partner.”

Arnold instantly believes her, she is now not just any child but the Saintess of their kingdom, if anyone dares to disrespect her, he would kill them.

“Saintess, may I ask, what shall be my current priority right now?” He was still lost on what to do, now that he had accomplished the mission that he had been focusing on in the past few days.

“Go to church to pray and see your current status, you need to realise what path you should take, even though the title Holy Knight has the word “knight” on it but this does not mean that you should become just a knight.” Hearing this, a look of realisation appears on Arnold’s face, he then left with excitement still oozing out of his body.

Shadowslash on the other hand was feeling happy, finally, he could start building the Adventure Guild now that Arnold has become a Holy Knight.

He could train more people to be his fighter and once they become Saints, he could summon them to the Cultivation Universe and have them earn fate energy from that universe via killing the creatures from Plunder Universe.

‘I also need to create schools that would accept every race that worship me as their gods, I need to input on their mind loyalty and kindness.’ He nodded, there are still many things that he has to do.

Fortunately for him, he now has Ivy to receive his message and instructions, after all, she is actually considered a summoned creature to him.

He could sense that his other half needs him, because of this, he is planning on leaving an avatar to take over this world, he nodded and finally called Ivy to his throne.

Because no one was present, Ivy jumped into his embrace like a little girl and was smiling like a fool, he was her saviour and father at the same time.

“Why have you called me Divine Father?” Shadowslash looks at her with both sadness and guilt, he sighs and carries her to his throne.

After a moment of silence, he finally opens his mouth and says “I am leaving.”

Ivy’s body starts shaking, tears fall down on her eyes, she hugs him tightly afraid of losing him, she does not want to lose him but she already knew that she cannot keep him all for herself.

Shadowslash could sense her current emotion and sigh, he combs her hair using his hand and pacifies her “Do not worry, I will be leaving my avatar to keep everything in check but it would not function well without you.”

Ivy looks at him with tears on her cute face and asks “Then, you will become just a puppet?”

He shook his head “Yes and no, before I could return whole, my avatar would act like a puppet but once I reunited with my other part, I would be able to control it and once again talk directly with you.”

Ivy’s breaking heart calms down, she asks him “Do you promise that you will return.”

He laughs out loud “With my avatar staying in this world, it might seem like I had never left, so do not be sad, I will be entrusting the safety of this kingdom to you.”

Best

He stabs his chest and takes out a golden blood, this was his essence “I shall leave a weapon that is capable of vanquishing your enemy in this church, I have to warn you, do not use it more than one times every year as it would burn my essence, you as my chosen Saintess would be the only one capable of activating it.”

Ivy nodded seriously, this made Shadowslash’s heart ache as he knew that he was actually burdening a little child with such a great responsibility.

He took a deep breath and said “But you must promise me one thing before I leave.”

Ivy became silent and serious at the same time seeing her father figure looking so serious, Shadowslash broke into a smile and patted her head “You must have fun, live your life with happiness and bring happiness to others too, as you are not only my Saintess but my daughter.”

She was stunned, before she could recover, Shadowslash took out a puppet made out of special metal that could change shape at will, he then transformed it into his image, inputting it with details of his future plans for this world.

He looks at Ivy one last time before disappearing, he felt his other half was continuously calling for him, making his life on that world short but at least, once he fused with himself once again and became whole, he would be able to control his avatar even if he is far away.

Since the world that he was in is no longer a part of the Cultivation Universe, he was thrown into the vastness of space, he transformed into his dragon-fox form and started flying towards the direction of where his other half is calling him.

Ten days later, he stops on his journey, his expression becomes ugly, he quickly hides behind a dead rock that seems to be a dead dwarf planet.

In front of him, the army of the Plunder Universe was attacking a world, he then saw the world turning black and cracking.

He sighed in pity because he knew that many worlds of this universe are experiencing this type of events, not everyone is as lucky as Gaia.

He watched as the miniature battleship left, the world is no longer alive, it had become a floating mass of rocks, he approached the still burning world that was actually cooling down at a rapid pace and felt the mourning of the souls of the countless living beings that were massacred by the army of the Plunder Universe.

“I apologized that I am too weak to save any of you but I hope that you would obtain happiness in your next life.” He then operates The Fragment and absorbed the souls that were slowly scattering.

The souls would be used as sacrifices to create monsters of different kinds but this is actually another form of reincarnation, since this universe is continuously being attacked, the path of the souls to the underworld or other plane of existence is cut off.

Shadowslash is now using The Fragment to help guide the souls to other lives, he saw the souls of children and many other people slowly entering The Fragment and could not help but feel pain for them.
