Chapter 482 The Day the Sun Sets
You devoured the flesh of your companions, healing yourself and becoming more powerful.
But this magic is not without side effects.
You were tortured by the other person's memory for a long time and almost ceased to be yourself, but you held on.
Because you know that if you are no longer yourself, you can no longer fight against the sun called Shurima.
The education and training you received are even more precious. Even the training of some minor nobles and lords' children is not as expensive as yours.
In the tenth year, you and your little master started to go to the battlefield. Yes, although your master seemed to be favored, he was just one of a dozen heirs.
And it's not ranked high.
You fight on the battlefield as your master's guard. You constantly bend your bow and draw arrows, constantly shooting down the enemy warriors who are bigger or smaller than you.
You discovered during the battle that these were civilians who could not survive, so even against a child like you, they had no chance of defeating them.
You were stunned for a moment, because the water of life in Shurima was enough to ensure that you would have a good harvest even if you simply scattered the seeds, but...
You were only stunned for a moment because you knew your masters.
Your team quickly broke through their formation, and at the urging of your little master, you and your companions found the real culprit of the rebellion. When she looked at your young appearance and your ruthless killing, a flash of mercy appeared on her face, followed by ruthless resentment.
"You slaves serve as accomplices and hounds..."
You didn't let her continue, you stabbed her right through the heart because you knew you couldn't help it.
Your little master obtained this territory because of her military merits, and you began to help her manage the territory.
Because of the power of the water of life and the farming techniques you mastered, you barely allowed the people here to survive, but you can still feel their resentment.
But you know it won't last long, because resentment is a luxury in this world.
Your little master has relaxed a little on government affairs because of you.
In the eleventh year, because the achievements of the territory far exceeded those of others, your little master was called to be commended, and with the answer you prepared in advance, her response was very appropriate.
But after everyone else left, you were hung up and beaten for three days, because even if the master didn't want to do something, the slave couldn't do it for him.
As a punishment or promotion, you were taken away by your master, and your little master then realized how powerless she was without you.
Instead of being grateful to you, she came and whipped you for three days.
Because she thinks it's your fault.
You didn't say anything, just quietly did your own thing.
In the twelfth year, because you improved the methods of farming and animal husbandry, and even found a way to increase the number of slaves, your master rewarded you, and your reputation spread to the royal capital.
The Emperor of Shurima admires you very much and praises you as a model slave.
You knew this was a plan to keep you a slave for the rest of your life, but you didn't care.
Because you are still gathering strength.
In the thirteenth year, your little master was assassinated and seriously injured. In desperation, your master sent you back. You took good care of her and helped her recover.
She was touched and something strange happened with you.
Your master knew all this, but he didn't get angry. He just killed the maid beside her and told her that she could do whatever she wanted, but she had to be careful.
You and she participated in a battle against foreign invaders, and in this battle, you saw the ultimate power of this empire.
The power of the Ascendant.
They fought with weapons that were more than ten meters long, which mortals had to use horses and carts to pull. Even without using any special powers, and just relying on their physical bodies to fight - or just charging with their weapons, they could easily crush hundreds of armored soldiers into minced meat.
An ascender led you to easily kill half of the 300,000 alien troops in three days.
You look at your little master and find that she, like you, has a desire for ascending power in her eyes.
In the fourteenth year, the forces under your command are growing, and your little master is becoming more and more respected.
Finally, you are sent to assassinate her siblings.
You succeeded.
You watched other guards like you wailing as they were executed for failing to protect the enemy, and watched tens of thousands of slaves die tragically as burial objects, without any ripples in your heart.
Because you know very well that the reason why the lord dares to do this is very simple.
They have ascended beings and are favored by the gods in heaven.
They are the embodiment of God on earth.
Even if more slaves are killed, as long as the lord remains loyal to the emperor, he will be able to gain the support of the Ascendants.
One Ascendant is enough to quell the rebellion.
And the Empire...
There are thousands of ascenders who are like the sun.
You remained silent, never so desperate.
In the fourteenth year, your little master has been fighting and fighting continuously, showing the power of strong strategy here, and of course there are reasons for this.
Although the technology and magic of this world are powerful, the development of society and strategies is very slow. Even if you copy them, you can get good results.
You got a title.
Ghost schemer.
You didn't express anything, but your little master was very happy. She even called several maids who were interested in you when she was doing strange things with you.
In the fifteenth year, your little mistress succeeded her father, for the lord died.
Killed by your own hands.
But when he was killed by you, he was laughing wildly.
Because he knows that it was his daughter who sent you.
But you told him.
You came here on your own.
His smile faltered, but so did his life.
Your master was a little suspicious of you, but soon she chose to forget this unpleasantness because of her obsession with power.
In the sixteenth year, you feel that you can no longer increase your strength because you have reached the limits of mortals, and flesh and blood magic can no longer increase the strength of your body.
Just at this time, you discovered that your master had accumulated enough military merits. As long as there was an opportunity and a little money, she would be able to participate in the ascension ceremony.
But... generally speaking, young people like her would not participate in the ascension ceremony, because the pass rate of the ascension ceremony is very low, and only those who are desperate would participate.
Thus, your master is poisoned and there is no cure.
She whipped you angrily, but it was of no avail. You came to the imperial capital, and she thought it was because of you that she was poisoned. She viciously asked you to help her walk up the ladder to ascension, because when she ascended, the power that escaped would directly kill you.
You walked up with her.
Looking at the torrent of energy, just when she was about to walk into it with joy, you kicked her off the Ascension Corridor, and in her astonished eyes and amidst the scorn of countless ascenders and nobles, you walked into the torrent of ascension energy.
Countless energy torrents entered your body and your body began to dissipate. Everyone thought you were doomed, but at the moment the energy torrents dissipated, a giant appeared on the earth.
You feel that the power of the universe is continuously entering your body. The most important thing is that your unyielding will and your belief in cursing the gods resonate with a great existence in the universe.
You laughed as thousands of Ascended forms blossomed in the sky, and two extra heads and two pairs of arms sprouted from your body.
There is a longbow in each arm.
"bring it on."
You bent your bow and aimed at the sun disk.
"Let the sun fall!"
A shooting star passed by.
The sun sets.
