The Summoned Monster That Is Summoning Another Monster-Chapter 1073
Chapter 1073: CHAPTER 1042 THE EXISTENCE OF A GOD
Arnold pleaded “Great divine being, please give me a chance to redeem myself, if I do not accomplish your mission, I shall kill myself and offer my pathetic life to you.”
Shadowslash looks at him calmly and says “No, I am a god that dislikes offers like yours, I treat life as the greatest gift of this universe, it must have a meaning.”
He pointed at the food on the table “The lives that were taken in order to prepare this meal both satisfy these children and me, they have a meaning.”
He then pointed at the empty plates that were present “In order to repay their sacrifice, the children have wasted none of the food.”
Everyone turns to each other and decides to write his message in their house, in order to honour him, they are already certain that he is a god, a benevolent one, they do not know that he is the one that initiates the apocalyptic event that is currently descending on this world.
Shadowslash continues “If you slay any evil beings, it is an act of kindness and would be praised but if you kill yourself because of your failure to me, that is not a meaningful sacrifice and I do not condone such an act!”
Arnold lowers his head but even though he berates him, Shadowslash still decides to give him a chance “Now that you have accepted your mistake, I shall give you my mission.”
.....
Everyone pricks their ears in order to listen, they have decided that they would also participate in the mission that he will give.
“I want you to find five villages and gather all of the villagers there and bring them here, I shall create a giant city that would cover the entirety of this forest, I shall name it, New Dawn.”
“In this mission, you shall not use any harmful means to persuade the villagers, if I discover that you have done so, I will banish you from this world!”
Arnold shivers so did everyone else, the knights and the apprentice knights also decided to help but Shadowslash’s following words made them freeze.
“You must do it by yourself, any knights or those that were aspiring to be one could also join but all of you need to persuade five villages or a town each, failure would not be punished but those that managed to accomplish this mission shall be crowned as my Holy Knights!”
The breathing of everyone present starts becoming heavier, an ordinary civilian spoke “Your holiness, I have no fighting strength and my only family is my granddaughter, I do not wish to become a Holy Knight but if I manage to accomplish this mission, can I give this opportunity to my granddaughter?”
Shadowslash looks at him, his eyes mellow down, he smiles kindly “If you manage to complete my mission, in order to reward your kind and caring attitude, I will extend your life to a hundred years and give a divine gift to your granddaughter.”
Everyone was stunned, greed sprouted in their hearts, they felt that Shadowslash was truly the most powerful god in all of existence.
Meanwhile, Arnold was feeling different, he could not help but shout “If Holiness could give such rewards so easily, what kind of reward would a person get if he becomes a Holy Knight?!!”
Everyone realised this and they started running out of the city, they are determined to complete this mission, meanwhile, the old man carried his granddaughter and says “Let us visit your uncles and aunties.”
Shadowslash turns to Ivy and plants a kiss on her forehead, he was acting like a doting father, actually, this was also a disguise in order to cleanse her body with impurities.
He wanted to train her to be a powerful magic swordsman, for those that he will give gifts to, he would use the authority of The Fragment in order to give them racial traits of monsters recorded in it.
Ivy felt her body heating up, she was stunned, she then saw Shadowslash creating a big tub of water and gestures for her to go inside, without hesitation, she threw herself inside the blob of water. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖
She held her breath but after a couple of seconds, she was forced to release her breath, she was surprised to be able to breathe underwater, she became ecstatic.
Shadowslash covers the blob of water with fog, he knew that Ivy would certainly undergo a massive change after he transformation.
He did not grant the same gift to the other orphans because he wanted to see their personality first, after they finished eating, the orphans looked at each other with confusion.
They do not know what to do next, one of Ivy’s sisters, the oldest one, starts gathering the dirty plates, Shadowslash was actually pleased with her action, It seems that she is the mature one in their group.
‘She is worth training, after I establish my domain in this world, I shall leave but first, I need someone I could trust to take charge while I am gone.’ Since it is like this, he decided to recruit a person that has an ambition to be king.
What he did not know, the person he was looking for is rapidly approaching his current location.
Inside a forest, a couple of knights were traveling with a man with white hair, even though his hair is white, he has a young face, the knights got down from their horses and started searching for nearby animals to hunt, while the rest scout their surroundings.
A knight with a much more beautiful looking armour approached the white haired kid and spoke “My prince, we are now approaching the city of Clear River.”
The white haired kid nodded, he is the sixth prince of the kingdom, because of the reputation and position of his brothers, he decided to travel around the kingdom in order to build a fame for himself.
He snorted when he heard what the knight had said “It seems that we are approaching our destination, I hope the knights and that priest of the Holy Church would not do anything foolish.”
The knights also agreed to what their prince had said, meanwhile, the gaudy looking knight is the only one that was thinking otherwise.
“I hope that I will not arrive late like before *Sigh* why do lord father accept their presence?” Hearing this, the gaudy looking knight trembled, he was cursing inwardly.
As they approached the city, they encountered multiple knights, they were killing any bandits they encountered, stunning the group.
The prince stopped a couple of them and asked “Have the city lord of your city issued a cleansing mission?”
The knight actually looked at them disdainfully, shocking the prince greatly, upon seeing this, the Prince’s knights grabbed their weapons and were about to attack the foreign knight.
Their prince stopped them, the gaudy looking knight shouted “My prince, how dare such a lowly being look down on you, let me discipline him for you!”
“Enough! Stand down all of you!” The prince shouted but actually in his heart, he was also feeling uncomfortable being looked down upon by a subject of their kingdom, he might not be a king but he is a prince.
He took a couple of breaths in and out to recover his composure, he knew that the knight must have his reason to look down on him, he has a white hair and was wearing the royal cape, these two are the distinctive features of their family, he knew that the knight had recognised his identity.
But he still has the courage to look down on him, this made him extremely curious, the knight laughs at his expression and shouts in an expression full of fanaticism.
“So what if you are a prince, I am a knight that is participating in a mission that God has personally given! Out of my way!” He struggled and broke free of the Prince’s grasp.
He continues his journey to complete Shadowslash’s mission, leaving the pondering prince.
The gaudy knight asks “Prince, would you like me to capture that rude knight and let him know that the royal family dignity is not just for anyone to trample upon?”
The prince shook his head “No, I am more curious about the so-called God he was praising, maybe the Holy Church is acting against the kingdom by using this type of propaganda, you have seen the reaction of that knight.”
Everyone nodded, they have heard the knight saying the identity of their prince and yet he was still so fearless, such an action made their fear the Holy Church a little bit.
The gaudy knight was stunned but he quickly realised that this was a problem, a war might be coming.
One of the knights in their group could not help but say “What if he truly has met a God? What would be our action my prince?”
Everyone laughed except for the prince and the knight, the former asked “Why do you think so?”
The knight pointed at the portals present “Look at them and recall the voice that has told us about the incoming apocalypse, would you truly deny the existence of a greater being?”
Everyone was stunned, they realised that their comrade was not just speaking nonsense, they could not help but become silent and their mood became both complicated and solemn.
