Chapter 253 Advanced Divine Slave
As for Dashiell, he was in even worse shape now.
All he had left was a set of bronze gear. All his other equipment got trashed.
Alan held back and didn't kill Dashiell; otherwise, the guy would be dead meat by now.
Alan didn't take out many of the Ashford Family members either.
Since Dashiell had hesitated earlier, Alan figured that after dealing with the others, Dashiell would hand over his pre-quest scroll for the Blessing of the Gods.
Even though a lot of people had already died, Alan wasn't planning to stop.
There were still Andrew, Eira, and the rest.
Under Alan's rain of arrows, Andrew was the first to go down.
But Eira threw Alan for a loop.
"Possessed?"
Alan was genuinely surprised; it was rare for NPCs to undergo such drastic changes.
He'd met a lot of NPCs along the way, but only one like Matthew.
Now that Eira was possessed, she might turn into something like Matthew.
She may become an unkillable monster that could keep coming back.
If this were before, Alan might've been a bit worried.
But now? It was not even worth mentioning!
His strength was way beyond what Matthew and the others could handle.
Under the hail of arrows, Eira, Matthew, and the others fell one by one, their souls enslaved by Alan, becoming his undead minions.
Even though Alan enslaved Matthew, Matthew could still come back in a refreshed form.
Previously, when hunting monsters and enslaving their souls, Alan had learned from the God of the Undead that what he enslaved wasn't the essence of the soul.
So, even if he enslaved a monster, that monster could still respawn.
That's why the undead he enslaved were all mindless and only knew how to fight.
But Alan wasn't thinking about that now.
Besides the Ashford Family members, only Kenneth, Oberon, and Alan's undead army were left on the field.
Alan's eyes locked onto Dashiell.
"Look, I didn't kill your Ashford Family members; I've given you enough of a way out. You know what I want. Hand it over, and I can let you safely go to the Vast Continent."
Dashiell looked at his clansmen, then at his somewhat pathetic bronze gear, and sighed deeply.
"Why does our Ashford Family have to make such a choice?" Dashiell's eyes grew more determined. "Ice King, I respect you. As an adventurer, you've surpassed us in such a short time."
"But as Oberon said before, if I give it to you, no matter where we go, our Ashford Family will have no way out."
"If that's the case, I'd rather die standing!"
In the end, Dashiell let out a ferocious roar at Alan.
"Kill me, if you have the guts, kill through the Chaos Territory, kill everyone here!"
Alan looked sharply at Dashiell, emotionless.
From the moment he decided to confront them head-on, he was ready for any outcome.
"Based on my understanding of Ragnarok, a region will have some pre-quest scrolls for the Blessing of the Gods due to its background. These pre-quest scrolls won't disappear; even if they expire or are destroyed, new ones will be generated."
Alan said calmly, "You can choose not to give it. As long as I kill you all, the scrolls won't disappear but will appear in someone else's hands. Eventually, someone will give them to me."
Dashiell's heart skipped a beat. As the guy holding the pre-quest scroll for the Blessing of the Gods, he knew Alan wasn't bluffing.
Kenneth stepped up, saying, "The ancient Jinse Empire is coming back, and our fate is tied to it. Even if there's just a tiny chance, we'll stop you."
Right after he said that, a figure darted forward.
It was Finley.
Finley looked like a kid barely over ten, with a staff taller than he was.
Suddenly,an arrow zipped through the air, heading straight for Alan.
Alan dodged instinctively, but the arrow seemed to have a mind of its own, still aiming for him.
To be precise, the arrow did have an eye, a weird silver-white one.
Alan smashed the arrow with the Divine Whip of Striking and looked towards where it came from.
It was the Giant Winged Purple Bird!
Alan squinted, pulled out the Code of Life and Death, and silently wrote down the name SnowflakeChaser.
In the next moment.
The Giant Winged Purple Bird vanished into thin air.
That was because its owner had died, sending it back to the mount space to follow its owner to the resurrection altar.
After the Giant Winged Purple Bird disappeared,figures started dropping from the sky.
There was Ambrose and the two gold-level experts who had hunted the Two-Headed Bloodscale Crocodile with him last time.
But honestly, none of them caught Alan's attention.
His eyes immediately locked onto the woman in the center.
To be precise, it was the female monster.
She had six silver-white eyes on her face, all unevenly placed, looking super creepy.
She had two dark red tentacles covered in silver eyes behind her, swaying around.
And her skin below the neck was completely dark red.
"Divine Slave!" Divine Slaves sold their body and soul to a god for some serious power.
Previously, Kyle, whom Alan dealt with, was kinda like a Divine Slave.
But Divine Slaves had levels, usually divided into ordinary, intermediate, advanced, and complete forms.
Ordinary Divine Slaves got blessed with divine power, which their bodies could handle, so there was no major damage, and their minds stayed normal.
Intermediate Divine Slaves got power beyond their limits, causing some changes in their bodies, and their minds started going nuts, becoming unpredictable.
Advanced Divine Slaves! Took it up a notch; under the intense divine power, their bodies started mutating big time, turning into neither human nor god monsters. Their minds also went mad, driven only by primal desires, becoming machines controlled by those desires.
Finally.
The most insane was complete form.
They ditched their souls, letting their bodies undergo the most extreme divine power baptism, becoming mindless puppets that only obey the god's commands.
The woman's current state showed major mutations, at least an advanced Divine Slave, with divine power way beyond that of the vampire marquis Oberon.
The woman spoke. "Ice King! I, Elowen Siren, speak to you today on behalf of the god.Kneel and listen to the god's teachings!"
