Chapter 1115 - 1115 – Sin Aura (1/2)
Gravis almost thought he hadn't heard Manuel's words correctly.
Cut off all contact with Gravis?
Why!?
”Manuel,” Gravis said slowly.
”I have to!” Manuel shouted with gritted teeth. ”I can't sacrifice the Myriad Sect for a meaningless show of loyalty. The entire Myriad Sect wouldn't be able to help you, and we would only die. I'm doing this, so you have someone to return to when all of this is over!”
Stella looked with horror at the Myriad Sect and with fear at Gravis.
Leave Gravis?
Never!
”What is a Sin Aura? How did I condense one?” Gravis asked with clenched fists.
The Elder from the Eternal Fire Sect looked at Gravis coldly.
”Have you recently killed a great number of weaker Cultivators?”
Gravis' mind immediately went to the Shining Purity Sect.
Gravis' face became white as he realized that he had done exactly that.
How had things suddenly changed in this way? He was used to doing stuff like this, and it didn't feel any different from what he had done in the past.
How had that suddenly become a problem?
The Elder noticed Gravis' expression, and he knew that Gravis had done just that.
The Elder took out an emblem and looked at it for a while. After a short time, his brows furrowed.
”The Shining Purity Sect,” he said.
”It doesn't exist anymore.”
When the Myriad Sect heard that, they all fell silent.
Hearing these words only increased their frustration and helplessness.
Gravis had destroyed one of their enemies, which meant that Gravis had done these things for them.
Gravis took a deep breath as he looked at the Elder from the Eternal Fire Sect. ”What am I supposed to do now?”
The Elder coldly looked at Gravis.
”Do you know what a Sin Aura is?” he asked.
Gravis shook his head.
”A Sin Aura is when you go far below zero Karmic Luck. Senseless slaughter decreases your Karmic Luck, and if you do enough of it, you will condense a Sin Aura. When that happens, you will be hunted by the Sin Monsters,” the Elder explained.
For some reason, the word Sin Monsters felt weird to Gravis.
The word monster was rarely used, and when it was used, it was when someone referred to someone that acted incredibly cold-hearted. The mortal definition of the word monster didn't really exist in the world of Cultivation.
Mortals often used the word monster to refer to a very powerful beast. Of course, for Cultivators, a beast was just a beast. There was no reason to refer to them as monsters.
”What is a Sin Monster?” Gravis asked.
”Sin Monsters are beings of unknown origins,” the Elder from the Eternal Fire Sect said. ”We believe that they have been created by Heaven to punish the Cultivators that commit senseless slaughter. They are different from Beasts and humans, and not much is known about them.”
”And I will be hunted by them?” Gravis asked.
”Yes,” the Elder answered. ”We don't know much about them, but we think they will start hunting you soon.”
”And I have to kill them?” Gravis asked.
”You can't kill them,” the Elder said. ”They are far beyond your power, and you will be helpless in front of them.”
”Even Divine Gods fear them.”
Gravis felt like the world around him had transformed into an ominous black.
Gravis looked to the floor. ”So, I will die soon?” he asked.
”We don't know,” the Elder said. ”We have heard of Cultivators that managed to get rid of their Sin Aura a couple thousand years later. Not much is known about Sin Auras.”
Gravis only remained silent as he looked into the distance.
Stella looked with pain at Gravis.
