The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Chapter 717: The Secrets of a Terminator (4)

All the World-Termination-Armour were created from the bones of the Demon King. Even though it could bring them huge power, but the damage to the human body from the remains of the Demon King could not be prevented.

Just when all the kingdoms were at their wits’ end, the people who had sent the world-termination-armour appeared once again. This time, they gave all the kingdoms a solution.

The only ones who could withstand the damage of the demon aura were the demons themselves.

But it was impossible for the demons to fight for the humans.

So…

There were the current terminators.

A group of mutants who were produced from humans and demons.

The people who sent the World-Termination-Armour specially picked a group of people from the noble families in all the kingdoms. Making use of their bloodline, they gave birth to a new race with the high-level demons that were captured—the terminators.

A terminator had the blood of a demon, so they had significantly higher resistance against the demon aura. With the human blood in them, they could think rationally like humans.

To ensure that every terminator could grow until they were old enough to go to battle, and to prevent the demonic blood in them from awakening, when the terminators were born, they were given a bracelet that would control and prevent their demonic powers from awakening. They themselves did not know what they were and only knew that they were the descendants of the terminators. In the future, they would possess the powerful world-termination-armour and carrying with them the kingdom’s glory, they would join the battle and defend the kingdom.

And the instant they put on the world-termination-armour, the countdown to their deaths would then begin.

Each time they used the World-Termination-Armour, the demon aura in the armour would catalyse the awakening of their demonic powers. With increasing usage, the demonic powers that were suppressed for over 10 years would gradually reach the level of release.

Why was it that terminators could only live up to 35-year-old?

Not because the battle was too fierce.

But because…

When they wore the World-Termination-Armour and joined the battle, their demonic powers would reach a critical point at 35-year-old. The instant their demonic powers were awakened, they would instantly lose their consciousness as humans and become a monster that only knew to kill.

This was all known to the monarchs of the kingdoms and even some family heads of the noble families, so… when their demonic powers were awakened, it was also the time of death for a terminator.

No matter how many contributions they had made for the kingdom, eventually they would be killed by the kingdom that they had protected with all their lives.

The world-termination-armour on them would be reused and passed on to their next generation, whereas their remains would be secretly sent back to the capital city of the kingdoms and to the Ming Workshop. They would be dealt with specially and become ingredients that would nourish and repair the world-termination-armour…

Every family head of the noble families understood everything about the terminator. They shared the same bloodline as the terminators, but…

From another point of view, a terminator was only a tool to maintain the family clan’s glory.

They would respect the terminator and give them the highest honour when they were alive, but deep down in their minds…

Anyone who knew what a terminator was would detest and fear such a monster.

What Liu Huo had said had revealed the bloody truth—a secret that was hidden for over 1000 years, one that was cruel and bloody.
