The Shepherd's Covenant

During a ritual to summon demons, Aihuas finally recalled memories of his previous life.

This was supposed to be an online game developed and operated by his own company for six years. Now, h...

Chapter 782 Aleister's Daughter

Chapter 782 Aleister's Daughter

"This is--"

Besides Aleister, only the honey badger can continue to watch the ceremony.

When she saw the face of the thing clearly, her eyes suddenly widened.

——Is this also something that can be created?

Suddenly, an extremely ferocious bright red monster jumped out from the one-meter-wide pool!

It resembled both a slender dragon and a ferocious shark. Overall, its body was slender, with a long tail and a pair of slender, crescent-shaped wings sharp as sickles. At the corners of these wings grew a pair of thick dragon claws, giving them the appearance of winged arms. And from about the middle of its tail, a pair of sharp spikes emerged, resembling both claws and feet.

Its entire body is a red reminiscent of blood, while the thinner parts, including the wings, appear a dark red that is almost black.

When the monster leaped from the silver pool, it looked no taller than half a man. Even with its long, curved tail straightened, it was still no taller than Selene.

It flew through the air, then landed on the ground and crawled clumsily, looking a bit like a lizard, but also like a shark swimming in the air.

It was bathed in moonlight, and its body was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its crimson surface resembled human flesh... dark blue dragon scales and shark skin gradually covered it, and its ferocious savagery was gradually curbed. In the blink of an eye, its size had increased by nearly half... Now, if it were straightened, it would be taller than Aiwass himself, about two meters long.

Aleister looked at it and felt that it looked familiar.

...It looks a bit like a combination of Garchomp and Abyssal, which is quite handsome.

Aleister looked at the shark dragon crawling on the ground with great interest - she didn't know what to call this new monster, so she could only call it that for the time being.

"I……"

The shark dragon murmured softly, making a sharp and tender cry like a baby: "Anna... why are you..."

——Those were the last words Alphonse wanted to say but didn’t have time to say.

As it uttered these words, its pupils, filled with hatred, sadness, and melancholy, gradually became chaotic - when its obsession was satisfied, Alphonse's personality was completely shattered and turned into nothingness.

Although it had been transformed into a monster and possessed a completely new personality, it clearly still had some vague memories of Alphonse. This made it sob, even though it didn't understand what sadness was, that it still lowered its head and wept, venting that empty sadness.

Watching it cry, Aleister felt vaguely touched.

She greeted him and whispered, her voice subconsciously a little choked: "Come, baby...don't cry..."

The newly born shark dragon has Aleister's blood flowing in its body, and they are related to each other - at least in the realm of the path of love, this kinship is valid.

This feeling was so strong that it made Aleister feel a little maternal love.

After all, in a sense, it can be considered the child of Aleister and Selene.

Although from this perspective, Selene herself is the child of Aiwass and Lily...but perhaps because of the lack of the power of the path of love, Aiwass does not have any special feelings for Selene.

But now...

While Aleister was frowning and thinking, the shark dragon had already twisted its body and crawled into Aleister's arms.

The unexpectedly heavy feeling surprised Aleister for a moment: "Baby, you're so heavy..."

She lifted the shark dragon up with both hands as if it were a dog, and used her knee to push away its tail that it subconsciously covered, and carefully checked its gender.

"It's a female dragon. Or a female shark?"

Aleister murmured, "I understand a dragon... but why a shark?"

After all, one of the components of this child is the Fool's liver. And that's a genuine "dragon liver." If you use that alone for enchantment, without adding the Moon Child's ashes, perhaps you can get a "dragon liver spirit"—a liver that has become a spirit.

“Mom…Mom…”

The shark dragon instinctively made a childish cry.

It probably has some memories belonging to Alphonse, and some belonging to Sister Sasha. But no matter what, it has human rationality... Although it was just born, it already has the intelligence of a child of several years old.

Of course, she's definitely not as mature as Selene.

"We have to give her a name first."

Selene, having just finished the ceremony, walked over, holding two eyeballs that had been purified by the ritual. She said seriously, "My original name was chosen by Lady Hypatia... and it was also decided by you. Now, I hope you will choose this name."

After completing the creation of the first monster, Selene, who was willful and lively before, has now become somewhat mature like a mother.

But the monster she created had no kinship with her—the most accurate relationship between them was that of "creature" and "creator." Although she could have named it, she chose to give that power to Aleister.

Aleister's face turned bitter when he heard this: "But I don't know how to name it..."

She was part Aiwass, and probably inherited his talent for dry jokes when it came to naming.

——You can’t really call it Land Shark or Sea Shark!

How about... calling her Shark?

A name popped into Aleister's mind.

Wouldn't this be too cute?

Aleister held it high, pointing it towards the moonlight in the sky, just like he was holding Simba.

She came to her senses and decided to follow her instinct - use whichever one came to mind!

——Child, your name is "Random"!

At this moment, a somewhat unfamiliar name suddenly popped up in Aleister's mind.

"...Leviathan."

She suddenly said, "How about you call yourself Leviathan?"

This is a surprisingly serious name. It's neither punny nor frivolous. It just popped up in my head, and it's easy to pronounce.

Essentially, it's still called "random"—Aleister thought.

The shark dragon shouted happily: "That's it, that's it——"

"Okay," Aleister said happily, "Then your full name will be Leviathan and your nickname will be Shark."

She was still a little reluctant to give up the name that popped into her mind - it was a rare opportunity to choose such a nice name, so she might as well not waste it.

By now, she had completely forgotten her original motivation for creating the monster from Alphonse's ashes.

Trial? Punishment? Interrogation? Combat effectiveness?

These things might all be useful, but none of them can compare to...leaving behind a child who truly belongs to you, as proof of your existence.

The extremely strong light of the path of love almost submerged Aleister's entire consciousness.

She held Leviathan, who was covered in the smell of blood, but she seemed to smell an extremely sweet scent and couldn't stop sniffing it on her body.

——I really want to have a bite.

This is my child, what sweet flesh and blood it must be...

This thought unconsciously emerged in Aleister's mind.

But the next moment, Aleister suddenly became alert - the power of transcendence made her slam on the brakes.

She instantly realized that the chaotic instinct of the path of love almost took control of her again.

Aleister calmed down and rubbed his face vigorously, and his boiling consciousness finally regained consciousness.

"Shark," Aleister hugged Leviathan again and asked softly, "Can you tell us about... Alphonse and Anna Kingsford?"

Leviathan tilted his head and searched his memory.

Then, the dragon shark, which looked like a ferocious monster from any angle, made a voice as tender as that of a giant salamander, telling the story of its "66% past life" and its past life lover.

At this moment, the crow who stayed in the house and pretended to be a decoration suddenly opened his eyes.

The Night Demon sensed it—someone was calling her real name.

Even though the Night Demon is a god on earth, in ancient times, superstitious people would also regard it as a great demon worshipped by the gods. The demon itself can respond to summons, and she can further discern the identity of the summoner...

——That was the voice of her former colleague, the earthbound spirit Alice.
