Volume 1 Aquaman's Sigh Chapter 148: The Tomb of the Grim Reaper

Previous Chapter

The indescribable shock was not only churning in Hermes's heart, after many years, the black-robed man still could not hide the throbbing in his heart when he once again faced these monsters imprisoned by frost.

"That's right, they are the ultimate killing machines of the [Slayer], the highest masterpiece of alchemy, and the top alchemists of the empire still can't decipher the principles of their creation and activity, it seems that the original [Slayer] Legion Commander has some kind of mysterious power, perfectly blending creatures and machines to create ......" The black-robed man slowly took off his hood, revealing a waterfall-like flowing silver hair, compared to the full head of silver hair and the old voice, the black-robed man's face was extraordinarily resolute and young, looking like a middle-aged man in his forties at most, he raised his trembling arm slightly, and gently stroked the frozen monster closest to him, "The legend is almost eternal...... The ultimate monster that is comparable to miracles!"

"Bringing creatures and machines together......" There was an indescribable mysterious aura throughout the cave, and there was an indescribable horror and confusion in Hermes's expression, "Are they alive?"

"I don't know much about this, but judging from their life-like appearance, maybe alchemy gave them life, or maybe they were originally modified from flesh and blood creatures, but alchemy constantly perfected their insignificant lives......" The black-robed man looked at the cold monster in front of him, his eyes burning and hot, "According to historical records, they have unparalleled power, and they are the only existence in this world that can match [Glory], and [Slayer] Naturally, they also relied on them to quickly rise to the pinnacle of power in just a few decades, and at the same time created immortal myths one after another, consolidating Osland's position as the world hegemon, and for those enemies of Oslan [Slayer] and [Glory] were lingering nightmares, only to ...... later"

"It's just ......" Hermes looked at the black-robed man and shook his head helplessly, sighing, and eagerly asked, "It's just what?

"Later, after the death of the first legion commander, the group of monsters he created suddenly lost control, they are not real life, let alone pure machinery, but they have the heart of violent killing, the monsters that lost control wreaked havoc in Heratium, because they were unusually strong, even if a large number of magicians were dispatched, they were still unable to subdue them, and even suffered heavy casualties, after repeated thoughts, the empire finally decided to urgently recall the [Brilliant] legion that was on a mission to annihilate this group of monsters......" The black-robed man paused, as if his thoughts were also drawn to that sad and tragic era, "Although [Brilliant] received the order and rushed to Heratim without stopping, it would take at least two days, but at this time, the Holy Capital had already fallen into a deep situation, like a burning hell, obviously to the point where it could not be delayed, but even if the powerful people above had unparalleled strength, they did not want to risk fighting against this group of raging monsters, because they were comparable to [Brilliant] Those who have time to escape have already fled, and those who have not had time to escape can only wait for the arrival of death in this sea of fire purgatory...... Finally, someone disregarded his own safety and stepped forward at this time to fight the monster with one person, not only for the sake of Heratim's thousands of years of inheritance and countless Li people, but also to protect the efforts of the first Legion Commander, who was the second generation of [Slayer] Legion Commander who had not yet served at that time. ”

"The Legion Commander of the Second Generation [Slayer]?Is the Imperial Family in the Record?" Hermes still had a deep impression of the Second Generation Legion Commander, because in the published historical texts, he was the only royal family among the previous Legion Commanders, and he also had another identity......

"Yes, he is Moslia Cesslia!" said solemnly with a look of reverence and adoration in the eyes of the black-robed man, "One of the most holy monarchs in the history of Osland, and also the founder and first pope of the Holy Cult of Cesslia!"

"But how did he subdue these monsters on his own?"

"It's the magic of domination - [Blood Pact], he signed a contract with these monsters to use blood as a medium, so that the monsters will submit to him, and the price is to feed these monsters with his own blood...... This incident is over, and the disaster has finally subsided, but the world still lingers on the shadow left by the monsters, and since then, the name of the [Slayer] Grim Reaper has begun to spread overseas, and the second generation of legion leaders have never gotten rid of the [Blood Contract] in their lives Even though he resigned as the Legion Commander, was crowned Emperor of Osland, and founded the Cessliya Holy Cult, he never abandoned the hard work left by the first generation, and until the moment before his death, he sealed these monsters here, and at the same time secretly taught the next [Slayer] Legion Leader the method of sealing and unsealing and the cost required...... Only those who have been recognized by the monsters are qualified to sign the [Blood Contract] with them, and only by signing the [Blood Contract] will the seal be broken......" The black-robed man's eyes flashed with a complicated light, and there seemed to be a faint sadness passing an imperceptible silver light under his eyes, "Therefore, the successive legion commanders have shouldered the burden of lifting the seal, because these monsters named [Wind] are the most powerful reliance of the [Slayer], and they are also the [Slayer] Based on the fundamental, it's a pity that in the thousands of years, only a handful of people can do this, fortunately, the outside world does not know about this, and at the same time, there is no description of the monster or even that event in the public history, after the precipitation of time, these monsters named [Wind] are closer to some kind of legend that is both true and false, so that the status of [Slayer] has not been shaken by the wind over the years......"

"Teacher, I see!" Hermes gently interrupted the black-robed man, who seemed to be immersed in grief, and slowly walked towards the cavern filled with monsters, "Tell me, what should I do?"

"Before that, I have to tell you the price of doing this, of course, you also have the right to refuse, because the [Blood Pact] is a nightmare that cannot be escaped, once you have signed a contract with monsters, you will be connected to their spirits, in other words, their emotions will affect you all the time, and ......"

"I don't care!" Hermes turned his head, quietly looked at the black-robed man in front of him, and smiled slightly, "Let's start, let's see if I can get their approval, right?"
