Chapter 184: Chapter 184 The Sons of SlaughterTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
A Son of Slaughter.
This name had not been mentioned for some time now because it represented disaster—a disaster is so severe that even evil and fear were better. The past Sons of Slaughter were the direct descendant of the three gods of death at that time. These descendants were also rumored to be the most powerful among the descendants.
More than 5 demigods and more than 10 pure-blood dragons had died before them; even a few ancient dragons had been slain by them. As for the number of Giants, Beholders, high-grade demons and vampires killed, the total number would probably be in the hundreds.
Nothing could stop them. Countless legends had also been killed by them.
They killed many on the Elven Skytree and punched a hole through the Underdark. They slaughtered a whole group of Beholders, even demigod Beholders were not spared.
The Blind Overload, the ancient red dragon, demigod Liches, The Mother of Drows, high-grade demons, and countless legends were slaughtered by them! They killed more than a third of the quasi-legendary creatures and legendary creatures that had accumulated in the mainland for thousands of years.
Still, they weren’t satisfied.
Thus they continued their slaughter; down to the Abyss they went and massacred the demons. At their peak, they even killed almost all of the dragons!
So how powerful were they?
There were few records of the Sons of Slaughter. The only traces of them were from a legendary Monk that was regarded as the grandmaster; the one who taught the skills “Umbra Force”, “Firestorm Force”, and “Trackless Step”. He was said to be one of the Sons of Slaughter and was not the most powerful one. According to the records, the legendary monk was completely immune to the legendary spell “Time Stop” and his magic resistance was over 90%. When he went into Burst Mode he was said to have been able to break a Diamond Golem with his bare hands.
Diamond Golem.
With monster level 24, and a construct that was immune to most spells with a physical resistance of almost 90%, it could resist any attack from rare grade 2 weapons and below.
Almost a million of them were killed by the Sons of Slaughter.
Good or evil, they did not care. None was spared.
These Sons of Slaughter were nightmares!
Even after such a long time, the mention of the Sons of Slaughter still made many people tremble. However, many of the Sons of Slaughter at that time had died. Even those who did not die gradually disappeared after the chaos. Similarly, as their offspring multiplied over time, the blood Slaughter in them became weaker and weaker. In the end, they basically became the same as ordinary people.
However!
There was still the phenomenon of “Atavism” in the world, so for a long time, there had been “Sons of Slaughter” appearing from time to time. This was especially true for those who had reached the realm of legends, or potential Sons of Slaughter that acquired divinity, divine power, or shard of divinity. These Sons of Slaughter were likely to awaken their ancestral blood once more.
That was because the power of divinity strengthens their bloodlines and turned them into a weaker version of Slaughter.
Since the Lord of Murder went crazy and was sealed up, many evil gods fought over the portfolio of murder and its related fields. However, no one has been able to integrate the portfolio. That was why even though the blood of Slaughter was becoming more and more dilute, it was possible for his descendants to regain their divinity as long as there were mutations and atavism occurred. The Sons of Slaughter used to flourish during the period of the Arcane Empire.
Divinity transformed.
Divinity of Fear has transformed into the Divinity of Slaughter!
