Chapter 241: Demigod existence?
AS Han Shuo approached the monument, he saw a row of words engraved in it from far away – Ayermika Cotton!
It was actually Ayermike Cotton’s name! This simple row of text shocked Han Shuo greatly. As a citizen of the Lancelot Empire, he had heard a great deal about this person. Every citizen would speak of his deeds in great detail. As the peak existence of dark magic in the Lancelot Empire’s history, Ayermika was a divine dark magus that was said to have a demigod’s strength in the legends!
Five hundred years ago, Ayermika Cotton had helped the first king of the Lancelot Empire to establish the Empire. It was only with this person’s help that the founding emperor of the Lancelot Empire was able to conquer all of the foreign tribes, exile the barbaric beastmen, drive off the greedy and despicable goblins, and stand above the various factions to establish control of the land. Even now, the Lancelot Empire stood firmly upon this land.
In the legends, Ayermika Cotton was a divine dark magus with the abilities to destroy the world. In that era, not only did such a powerful being bring about the existence of the Lancelot Empire, it had also deified his being, resulting in adoration from all citizens of the Lancelot Empire for five hundred years!
Even now, there hadn’t been any descendants who could surpass his glory and game!
Ayermika’s entire life had been glorified with the legends of greatness. He’d defeated countless powerful people, expanded the borders of the Lancelot Empire, and shattered the fighting spirit and confidence of the foreign tribes. His power had caused the all the tribes to submit to the Empire’s reign as soon as the Empire’s iron hooves landed on it.
However, such a terrifying demigod existence had suddenly disappeared at the peak of his life. The Lancelot Empire had been in its grandest era, having already conquered several countries around it. It was at that time that Ayermika should’ve been enjoying glories and honor.
However, he’d disappeared mysteriously, just like that. The first king of the Lancelot Empire had been unable to accept the departure of his true friend, and used all sorts of ways to search for him. They were still unable to discover anything in the end.
There were quite a few versions of the rumors surrounding his mysterious disappearance. Some said that he grew sick of conquest and went into hiding by himself. Others said that he surpassed everything and ascended to become a true god. There were those that said although he’d defeated countless powerful foes in his life of conquest, he had been injured several hundred times. The frail body of a mage was unable to withstand the wounds in his old age, so he’d died in a depressing way.
However, the legends were still just legends in the end! All words were mere illusions before any tangible evidence was produced. Ayermika Cotton’s mysterious departure five hundred years ago remained an unresolved mystery!
However, there was a monument with Ayermika Cotton’s name engraved on it in such a strange place enclosed by black mist. From the shape and engraving of the monument, Han Shuo was certain that it was a tombstone to memorialize the deceased buried here. Seeing this filled Han Shuo’s heart with shock. He wanted to draw close to the tombstone and carefully inspect it.
Just at this moment, Gilbert started moving towards Han Shuo, using their mutual connection. Han Shuo could even feel Gilbert’s anxiety.
Han Shuo had already planned to examine the tombstone closely, but due to Gilbert’s anxious and swift approach, he set the idea aside. He then increased his awareness so that he was ready before leaping up and landing behind a huge boulder. At the same time, he also sent out a yin demon to fly in Gilbert’s direction.
Gilbert, who’d changed into his dragon form, approached swiftly with an enormous roar. He actually wasn’t flying, but was using his body to slither forward like a huge python. The gigantic cyclops was chasing him relentlessly, while the golden dragon that had originally been fighting with the cyclops was slithering on the ground like Gilbert, forgoing a dragon’s natural talent to fly.
“Great master, come quickly and save your pitiful servant!” As Gilbert approached swiftly, his eyes shone with frantic light as he continuously bawled out in his deep voice.
Hearing that Gilbert was shouting for Han Shuo to save him, Han Shuo couldn’t help but curse quietly behind the boulder, “Dumb dragon, with you shouting like this, anyone would know that there’s someone waiting ahead. How can I ambush them then!”
Seeing that he couldn’t set up an ambush, Han Shuo cursed lowly as he leapt up into the sky and flew in Gilbert’s direction. Then, he let out a dominating whistle in order to notify Gilbert of his presence.
Through the yin demon’s surveillance, Han Shuo saw that the cyclops and golden dragon seemed to be chasing Gilbert. Who knew what sort of shitty thing Gilbert had done in order to piss off two enemies enough for them to work together to kill him?
The terrified Gilbert calmed down slightly when he heard the piercing whistle. He then furiously “crawled” over and started complaining before he reached Han Shuo, “Two on one, this is too shameless, too wicked!”
“Damn stinky bug, you nearly ambushed and killed both of us when we were tired from the fight! But whatever, you actually brought us to this forbidden land, making us have no way out. You’re the most shameless and wicked!” To Han Shuo’s surprise, the cyclops actually let out a thundering curse after a furious roar.
“A shameless person that ran over to someone else’s place to steal stuff doesn’t have the right to scold others!” Gilbert was clearly more confident with Han Shuo around, so he turned around and mocked the cyclops. He then swiftly moved his huge body and stood in line with Han Shuo.
“You’re pissing me off, you damn reptile, I’m going to kill you!” The cyclops was enraged. He roared at the sky and his single eye began to shimmer with a terrifying light as he leaped towards Gilbert.
The majority of the cyclops’ body had been scorched by the Lord of the Flames. Its two large azure palms were a mess of blood and muscle. It seemed that the fight with the golden dragon afterwards had caused it quite a lot of harm.
“Shut up! You can beat him and curse him, but you aren’t allowed to use the words ‘reptile’ and ‘stinky bug’ in front of me! Otherwise, I’ll kill you first, you damn one-eyed thief!” The golden dragon roared furiously and howled loudly behind the cyclops.
