Chapter 184: Son of Slaughter
The Son of Slaughter.
This name has not been mentioned by anyone for a long time.
Because it represents disaster, a disaster that even evil fears. The Son of Slaughter was once known as the Son of Slaughter, a direct descendant of the Three d*ath Deities, and the strongest son of a deity in terms of combat power. The number of demigods who died at their hands exceeds a single hand, and there are not enough fingers on both hands to count the Pureblood Dragons. Several from the Ancient Dragon Clan also perished, and as for other giants, Eye Demons, Greater Demons, Otherworldly Messengers, High-level Vampires, and more, the total would likely exceed three digits. It was truly a trail of gods blocking gods and demons blocking demons. The number of quasi-legendary and legendary professionists killed by the Son of Slaughter combined is almost approaching four digits!
They went on a murderous spree on the Elven Divine Tree, creating a rift in the Underdark and slaughtering an entire Eye Demon clan, including some demigod and true god Eye Demons. As for various Eye Demon elders and Eye Demon Tyrants, they wiped out a large number. The Blind God, Ancient Red Dragons, Demigod Liches, Drow Matrons, and numerous high-level legendary beings fell under the hand of the Son of Slaughter! They caused such chaos that they killed more than one-third of the quasi-legendary and legendary creatures that had accumulated over a thousand years on the continent!
But they were not satisfied.
They also rampaged in the Abyss, slaughtering a massive number of demons, and at that time, the Dragon Clan on the continent was almost driven to extinction by them!
Just how powerful were they?
There are very few recorded accounts of the Son of Slaughter; the only one known today is a legendary monk revered as a grandmaster who taught the Moon Shadow Style, Sun Flame Style, and No Trace Step. He is one of the Sons of Slaughter and not even the most powerful among them. This legendary monk has one record stating that he was completely immune to the legendary spell Time Stop, with spell resistance exceeding 90%. In an explosive state, he could dismantle the currently strongest Diamond Golem with his bare hands.
Diamond Golem.
Biological Level 24. Construct Life characteristic, immune to most spells, nearly 90% physical resistance, immune to any extraordinary weapon attacks below the second tier.
In total, the number of people who died indirectly or directly at the hands of the Son of Slaughter exceeds one million!
This group of Sons of Slaughter even killed a dozen of the Apostles of the God of Lies and m*rder, known as Half Elect, with all factions suffering heavy losses at their hands. Cities decimated by them fell one after another.
The Son of Slaughter is truly a nightmare!
Even after so much time has passed, just mentioning the name of the Son of Slaughter still makes many tremble involuntarily. The Son of Slaughter is the descendant of the Son of Slaughter, and nearly all of the former Sons of Slaughter have died. Even those who survived gradually retreated after the chaos ended, but their descendants remained. As time passed, these descendants saw their bloodline of slaughter grow thinner. By the end, they had essentially become indistinguishable from ordinary people.
But!
There is still a possibility that a ‘reversion’ phenomenon could occur in this world, so occasionally, the Son of Slaughter will appear. Especially those who reach the legendary domain or obtain divinity, divine power, and divine position as potential Sons of Slaughter. These Sons of Slaughter may awaken the bl**d of slaughter again, as the power of divinity strengthens their increasingly thin bloodline, transforming them into weakened versions of the Sons of Slaughter.
That is what others refer to as the Sons of Slaughter!
Since the God of m*rder fell into madness and was sealed away, the divine profession of slaughter and its proliferating domains have remained a primary strength contended by evil deities, but in fact, no one has been able to merge the profession of slaughter. This has also led to the bloodline of the Son of Slaughter becoming thinner and thinner. However, as long as a mutation reversion phenomenon occurs, it is possible to regain the enhancement of divinity and divine power. The Sons of Slaughter appeared in large numbers during the Arcane Empire era, but in recent centuries, their appearances have become rare.
………………
Divine power transformation.
Fear divine power transforms into slaughter divine power!
Soren’s attributes experienced a drastic change in the blink of an eye, the most significant of which was in his main attributes.
“Name: Soren [Son of Slaughter].
Race: Slayer [Half-Demon Form].
Attributes: Strength 20 (+6), Agility 24 (+2), Constitution 23 (+2), Intelligence 20 (+1), Perception 15, Charisma 18 (+2).
Special Talent: [Slayer Form]. Transforming into the Slayer state grants you a comprehensive increase in attributes; Strength +4, Agility +2, Constitution +2, Perception +2, combat power equivalent to that of a warrior of the same level. Increases resistance to any abnormal states by 10 points.
Special Specialty: [Will of Slaughter]. The desire for slaughter has filled your heart, granting immunity to most mental control spells, including but not limited to charm, fear, and mind control.
Special Specialty: [Desire for Slaughter]. After transforming into a Slayer, you will be influenced by the desire for slaughter, becoming extremely sensitive to bl**d. Perception related to anything involving slaughter receives hidden enhancement. However, after transforming into a Slayer, you must k*ll at least one target to satisfy your desire for slaughter, or you will enter a state of madness. This desire for slaughter will gradually intensify with the number of transformations!”
Soren suddenly opened his eyes!
His crimson pupils were filled with killing intent; darkness could not obstruct his sight, and all living and dead beings were captured in his field of vision. He instantly leaped forward, his speed almost leaving afterimages. The legendary curved blade Icebane materialized in his right hand, while another curved blade appeared in his left hand. Soren’s figure spun violently, and as he charged in front of the enemy, slashing through trails of afterimages, a deluge of blades fell upon the target; within one second, Soren unleashed ten strikes.
The high-level mage armor shattered like an eggshell.
The energy shield on the cold man’s body could not even withstand half a second, leaving five new wounds on his surface, and bl**d immediately soaked through his clothing.
——“Edict: Intimidation!”
——“Steel Skin!”
——“Weak Tier Spell Invalid Barrier!”
——“High-level Energy Shield!”
——“High-level Energy Damage Protection!”
Five spells consecutively cast by the cold man suddenly manifested due to unexpected circumstances. An equipment was suddenly activated, and Soren’s subsequent attacks resembled strikes against alloy steel; the Edict: Intimidation was directly exempted and resisted, but the activated high-level energy shield blocked Soren’s up to fifteen attacks. This was an eighth-tier spell, once humorously referred to as ‘Golden Bell Shield,’ and it belongs to an all-around defensive protective spell that directly immunizes physical attacks with intensities below 50 points. Under the dual-wielding of curved blades, it was difficult for Soren to break through the energy protection field.
Occasionally, a burst of attacks would pass through the shielding and hit the opponent, producing a metallic sound!
“Vivian!”
Soren let out a low roar, twisting his body to merge into the shadows, with shadow energy covering his skin, making him appear like a shadow.
The little girl’s reaction speed was incredibly fast!
Just as Soren charged out, she had already begun preparing to cast spells, quickly forming a protective field, and simultaneously intoning a spell while tossing out an energy whip.
——“Kelben’s Whip of Protection!”
A dark energy whip materialized in Vivian’s pale hand, and with a fierce flick towards the cold man in front of her, the high-level energy shield dissipated upon contact, followed by the energy whip wrapping around his body, with waves of dark energy eroding the high-level energy damage protection. This was a special disabling spell-like attack that could continuously nullify three protective spells below ninth-tier for a duration of time.
——“Dimensional Lock!”
The cold man clearly sensed danger. With Soren’s sudden explosion and Vivian’s transformation, he barely had any time to cast spells, relying solely on the protective means prepared with his equipment and unexpected spells to defend himself. He decisively tried to use a teleportation spell, but a faint white light gleamed around him, leaving his figure still in place. Vivian had long since sealed the nearby space, directly restricting the effects of all teleportation spells.
Vivian’s casting speed was much faster than his, with spells below three seconds typically instantaneous!
This had a staggering impact in battle. The cold man had just completed one spell, and Vivian had already thrown out a high-level spell above sixth-tier and a mid-tier spell below sixth-tier. If it weren’t for the opponent having the weak tier spell invalid barrier that directly immunized against spells of levels one to three, she could even unleash more than ten low-level spells at once.
——“Greater Dispel!”
The little girl’s pale fingers shot out a beam of light, instantly turning the gear on the cold man into dust; he could not even activate it in time, leaving only the effects of the Steel Skin spell as protection on his body. Soren waved his dual blades, turning into a series of afterimages, slicing sparks across the opponent’s entire body. Once the Steel Skin could no longer withstand Soren’s attacks, he let out a chilling scream, and the legendary curved blade Icebane sliced through his waist, nearly cleaving him in two.
A line of data appeared:
“You gained insights during the battle!…”
“With the increase in battle frequency, you mastered parts of the technique [Sword Intent – Beheading]!…”
………………
A beam of golden light streaked across the sky.
The figure of the Holy Spirit Priest appeared around them, frowning as he glanced at the Vampire Son, then quickly scanning Soren and the others. Ultimately, he focused on the Half-Demon Vampire, evidently perceiving a greater threat. The Holy Spirit Priest cast spells with astonishing speed, and soon a golden, shimmering portal opened in the sky, shortly followed by a being clad in golden armor like an angel emerging.
——“Otherworldly Messenger!” [Legendary Spell]
As a priest of the Goddess of Wealth, the other party summoned a celestial messenger from the heavens at the very first moment. (To be continued ~^~)
