Chapter 1382: Gray Terror
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The two cars at the back were immediately swarmed by the gray mass of peculiar creatures. They were practically swallowed. In front, those strange, ghostly creatures parted to the side. A pathway was made within their ranks.
A figure appeared at the end of the pathway, walking slowly toward the site of the first car's explosion. He did not seem to be moving quickly, but he did have a rhythm to his steps. In the blink of an eye, he was already at the site.
He wore gray armor which was covered with a gray cape. His armor was translucent and glittered as it refracted the light into strange hues. He had an exceptionally handsome, even beautiful, appearance. His long black hair fell loosely behind him, which was a stark contrast to his snow-white face. There was no color of blood. It made his dashing looks appear slightly scary.
He held a tin and long cruciform sword. Like his armor, this cruciform sword was also gray and translucent. There was even a faint, grayish glow about it.
His armor did not include a helmet. The only thing on his head was a gray crystal. The crystal was diamond-shaped with countless planes on it which reflected light at various angles.
No matter how one looked at him, he did not seem human. He appeared more like a death god who came from the underworld.
He drew his slender gray sword lightly across the air and the ball of fire before him split in two. His pretty eyebrows raised as he sighed softly."Come out, Underworld Death."
Instantly, grayish flames burst from his body. All the strange-looking creatures were immediately set ablaze, and the entire colorless world filled with an otherworldly aura.
"I didn't know that you're still alive, Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa, " came the Smiley Douluo's deep voice. Shortly after, a huge golden figure emerged from amid the ball of fire. In the blink of an eye, the figure grew to a hundred meters in height. It stuck out its great belly and its entire body glistened with a golden gleam. It was a martial soul avatar.
Ha Luosa said drily, "How dare a junior such as yourself mention my illustrious name?"
As he said this, he brandished the slender sword in his hand at the Smiley Face Douluo Hu Jie. The gray flames solidified, forming a blade of light that reached Hu Jie instantly.
The blade was not particularly large. Indeed, compared to Hu Jie's colossal hundred-meter tall body, it was nothing. Even so, Hu Jie did not dare to endure the hit directly. He dashed back at lightning speed and his expression darkened. Joining his palms, he pushed out his great belly and the gray light blade vanished without a sound. However, Hu Jie's body was covered in a layer of gray. The color drained from his as if he had seen a ghost, and he quickly retreated backward.
He had already used his most powerful Golden Belly to block his opponent's attack. However, after they clashed, he felt his own life energy leaking out of him rapidly. To make a conservative guess, his life would have at least been cut short by two years.
What a terrifying power that was!
The person before him was truly a renowned figure, though perhaps it would be better to call him notorious.
The Underworld Douluo Ha Luosa was an elite master. He was famous even before the Atlas Douluo Yun Ming. By the time Yun Ming made a name for himself, this Underworld Douluo had already vanished.
If it were not for his Underworld Death Domain, Hu Jie would not have recognized him.
With Hu Jie's age, he had only heard legends about this person.
When Ha Luosa said he was a junior, he was not wrong. In terms of seniority, Ha Luosa was more than two ranks higher than Hu Jie. His appearance was that of a man in his thirties, but he was at least a hundred and seventy years old by now if not two hundred. He was an authentic old monster.
The Underworld Douluo Ha Luosa, according to legend, was born in a small city in the Douluo Federation. It was said that from birth, he was already tainted with something unclean. From the moment he was born, he had this snow-white complexion with no color of blood. His eyes were also gray in color.
His strange appearance had filled his family members with fright. He was abandoned soon after his birth.
However, Ha Luosa's life energy was very stubborn. He was rescued by someone else and sent to an orphanage. Due to his peculiar appearance, he was still very much rejected by the others.
Fortunately, he had extremely beautiful features. Other than his skin and the color of his eyes, there was nothing special about him.
He spent six lonely years in the orphanage.
Without any ceremony, his martial soul awakened.
The day that his martial soul awakened, it was destined that he would bring disaster to the world.
When his martial soul emerged, he awakened a domain as well. It was this very Underworld Death Domain which had manifested before the Smiley Face Douluo at this moment.
When his domain first appeared, it was not powerful. However, twelve skeleton warriors also appeared alongside it. The twelve skeletons went into a frenzy and started killing people. The entire orphanage was massacred.
The children and teachers in the orphanage became the first batch of offerings for his Underworld Death Domain. Their flesh and blood were devoured by his Underworld Death Domain and were converted into Ha Luosa's strength. It enabled him to complete the formation of his innate maximum soul power.
At that time, Ha Luosa himself was shocked. He had no idea what had happened. However, after that, he felt a power mist incredible.
Having grown up in an orphanage, he was not exactly a cheerful character. When he saw the people who had scorned him and treated him with disrespect die, his young heart was filled with a warped sense of pleasure.
Thus, he left the orphanage. He was young back then, and he feared nothing. In fact, he did not even know what fear was. He only wished that the happiness he felt in his heart could be intensified.
The twelve skeleton warriors brought by his Underworld Death Domain continued their rampage. Initially, his domain could only encompass a range of a dozen meters. Gradually, it increased to thirty meters.
It was at this point, the city guard finally arrived. When they saw the scene which seemed to have been taken out of hell itself, they immediately treated him as a possessed child. They destroyed his twelve skeleton warriors without hesitation on the spot. They also shot him dead along with his warriors.
His body was buried together with the skeletons.
However, nobody expected that Ha Luosa would rise from the dead after seven days. It was the effect of his Underworld Death Domain.
He crawled out of the earth and started on the path of destruction and murder.
Learning from his previous experience, he knew that he could not expose himself too easily. Hence, he left the city and went somewhere isolated. He picked some isolated mountain villages to be the site of his slaughter. Throughout the process of killing, he could clearly feel his strength growing constantly.
The first twelve skeletons were resurrected alongside him. They grew with him and became more powerful as he did. They also became crueler and more evil.
Someone once said that the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa was a punishment dealt by the heavens to the human race. It was retribution for the destruction of the environment and the world.
The underworld's aura of death and a lust for complete destruction accompanied him.
He was growing too quickly. When the threat he brought came to the attention of the Federation, the Underworld King Douluo suddenly vanished.
Nobody knew where he went until ten years later.
When he reappeared, he was no longer massacring a village, but a small city.
More than sixty thousand people died in that disaster. After that incident, he had broken through to the rank of Title Douluo. At that time, he was only nineteen years old!
He vanished again. The Federation spared no expense but was unsuccessful in locating him.
In this way was the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa's brand of destruction born.
For that generation, he was practically synonymous with terror. He did not appear frequently. He would only make an appearance every five to ten years. However, every time he came back, it would be accompanied by another horrifying mass murder.
Hence, he had another moniker at that time. He was known as the Gray Terror.
The Gray Terror Ha Luosa!
Only when he gave himself the title Underworld King Douluo was the Gray Terror moniker gradually replaced.
At the age of twenty-five, he was a Hyper Douluo!
When he became a Hyper Douluo, the deaths of a hundred thousand people followed.
Shrek Academy finally found him. The Atlas Douluo Yun Ming's teacher, the Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion back then, had personally seen to this matter. He tracked the Underworld King Douluo to an isolated seaside city.
It turned out that Ha Luosa did not stop killing while he vanished. He was targeting the oceans. There was an almost endless supply of oceanic creatures. As he butchered them, he continued growing stronger. Every time he finished another round of destruction, he would need some time to absorb his newfound energy. That was why the frequency of his appearances had lessened.
The Sea God Pavilion's Pavilion Master was already a Limit Douluo-ranked expert while Ha Luosa was only a Hyper Douluo. Nevertheless, the result of their clash was that Ha Luosa escaped with grave injuries and his origin was damaged. However, Sea God Pavilion's Pavilion Master was also injured. He even predicted that the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa had not died and would most probably make a comeback in the near future.
In Shrek Academy, there had always been a warrant for the Underworld King Douluo. Any Shrek Academy expert who discovered the smallest trace of his movements had to inform the academy immediately. The academy would spare no effort in seeking him out and putting him down.
The last time the Underworld King Douluo appeared was in Shrek Academy. At that time, he was a Limit Douluo, and he had come for revenge.
