Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 590: Chapter 0590: Death (Additional 4400, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

“I agree!”

“Then… you are one of the ‘Spirit Lord’s’ knights, titled as —— ‘Death’!”

…

Elena stared at a Jackal Man within her sight.

The monochromatic sky suddenly regained its colors, and the previously statue-like Jackal Man bolted frenetically towards the camp.

‘Was that… a dream?’

Elena’s spirit was a bit dazed, but the surrounding shouts and killings immediately brought her back to reality.

Boom, boom!

The next moment, the muskets fired and spewed out hideous flame against the Jackal Men.

But this time, the Jackal Men were not scared. Their eyes were bloody red, as if their crazy genes had been triggered. Even if half of their bodies were cut off, they kept crawling towards the camp like mad.

The original defense line shattered like paper, and several berserk Jackal Men rushed into the camp.

“But… this power, it’s real.”

Elena clenched her fist, then suddenly shouted, “Death!” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

A stream of black energy appeared, with her at the center, spreading outwards suddenly.

Boom!

The Jackal Men rushing forward bore the brunt.

They all suddenly stopped like wind-up dolls that had forgotten their function or machines that had broken down. They fell on the path of the charge, devoid of breath.

——Death’s harvest!

Like reaping wheat, hundreds of Jackal Men fell to the ground dead.

This scene was not only horrifying to the Jackal Man’s High Priest but also left the careerists in their own camp dumbfounded.

“You… No, are you… a Fifth Level Professional?”

The bearded man looked at Elena, feeling deep regret.

Even though she was a strong person, why did she disguise herself as a low-level professional to deceive people? What’s more, her disguise was so perfect!

“I…”

Elena wanted to deny it, but she didn’t know how to express it.

But one thing she was clear about was that she had not been promoted professionally.

The ‘trade’ she did only exchanged for a one-time game-changing force. After slaughtering hundreds of Jackal Men, that power diminished completely.

This was similar to using a powerful magical item once. For her, the most significant change was gaining some mysterious knowledge and an understanding of death.

Su Lu could certainly grant Elena power, but power inevitably comes with side effects.

He got his professional rank, but not to the point where he arbitrarily ‘modifies’ the vocational ranks of occupational people. He can bestow magical items, or abilities like this one, which end when used up.

If it’s a permanent promotion of professional rank, it’s possible, but by then, irreversible changes would occur in Elena’s body and mind. She might even become a crazed, killing flesh monster.

This is the price of colossally obtaining power in the mysterious side!

“Oo…”

The Jackal Man High Priest howled and led the remaining Jackals to flee with their tails between their legs.

The survivors were first in shock and disbelief, then they began to cheer.

“We made it.”

“We survived.”

Under the awed eyes of the group, Elena walked up effortlessly to the pile of Jackal Man bodies.

“Looking at the decorations, these aren’t from the nearby ‘Black Stone’ tribe. Hundreds of Jackal Men migrating? Or a joint hunting expedition? With the High Priest accompanying them too? This is quite extraordinary.”

Elena took a deep breath. “We must report this to the Empire’s Defence Mansion…”

In her heart, she was thinking of another order.

“The other knight of my lord has arrived at Dylan Port. His code name is ‘War’, go assist him, help him rule this area.”

To Elena, this was an ‘Oracle’!

And since the ‘Divine’ had already paid the ‘price’, she naturally couldn’t back out of her promise.

Actually, she had no way to back out.

‘Now… I can only pray that my lord is a merciful deity…’

Elena’s eyes unusually wavered in confusion.

…

Dylan Port, Defence Mansion.

Originally Bolton’s office.

A large number of documents were spread out in front of Rod’s desk. He was so busy that he was in a complete mess.

Upon seeing Su Lu suddenly appearing in front of him, he was not surprised. He just laid out a tally sheet in front of Su Lu: “Look… an officer dared to blatantly move the Empire’s property. This is… this is…”

He couldn’t finish his sentence.

“There’s no way around it, who made us so far away from the Empire?” Su Lu glanced at the amount: “The enormous benefits are enough to make people take risks… and our goal for coming here is the same as his, isn’t it? Even more excessive?”

“I suppose so.”

Rod laughed awkwardly.

“What did you finally do with Bolton?”

“What else could I do? I confiscated all his properties, plan to put him on the next passenger ship back home, and that’s it…” Rod shrugged: “There’s a banquet going on downstairs, Anfi is entertaining others. Do you need to go? Perhaps you can encounter one or two beautiful ‘noble ladies’…”

Arriving at a strange place, taking over the supreme power, Rod seemed to have become much more lively, even daring to joke with Su Lu.

“I’m not interested.”

The significance of descendants is engraved in human genes in pursuit of ‘immortality’.

Some people choose to pass on their spirit, so they teach and write books, become ‘Saints’, or choose to die but want to leave a legacy in history.

Others choose to pass on their bloodline and so place great importance on their offspring.

But Su Lu is already one of the immortals, naturally he doesn’t need this.

Although he understood Rod’s wish to leave behind Potter’s bloodline with excellent lineage, he really couldn’t guarantee what his own offspring would be like.

They may be vocational people with unique talents, or they may be real ‘God Scourges’!

“Speaking of blood, I just found an orphan of the Pottery family, bloodline’s quite pure, I told her to come look for you.” Su Lu casually mentioned the matter he just saw.

“Elena? Understood.”

Rod was delighted, but his brows furrowed again upon hearing that the Jackal Men had been moving around in large numbers lately: “Ah… The development of the colony isn’t something that can be done overnight. Our force is still too small, and at this moment, the Empire wants to withdraw its strength.”

The Empire had been sparing no effort to colonize Zoterlan, and even issued very favorable policies.

For example, sending felons to the colonies, and declaring that every Empire’s citizen can receive a massive plot of land for free and various preferential treatments if they move to the colony.

Even so, it is still hard-growing the population of the colonies.

“Don’t worry… We have a very long time.”

Su Lu smiled: “On top of that… The benefits of gods and humans are not the same.”

He came here, mainly to establish a fledgling church and try the faith system.

The Centaurs and Jackal Men also have wisdom and the potential to become believers.
