The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
" Lord Dragon-Rearer's eye twitched. He swore his oath in all honesty, and the moment the words — to guard the Yong River and never rebel — left his mouth, his body, beyond his own control, reverted to its true form.
With a series of booms it swelled, becoming a giant flood dragon a hundred li long that sprawled on the riverbed.
A chain of black vapor appeared upon him, one end bound to the Yong River, the other to his very soul! Should he break his oath, that chain would seize his soul and drag it down into Youdu, and he would die, body and spirit alike!
Shen Mu examined his oath carefully and found no flaw in it.
He smiled: "Once the line of ice on your neck melts, your body will be whole again.
Call back your Flood Dragon King God and guard the Yong River well!
" The giant flood dragon that Lord Dragon-Rearer had become turned its huge, mountain-like head toward Shen Mu, its expression complicated, and suddenly said: "I have been calling you a simple, clumsy boy all this while, and still do not know your name.
Might I ask what divinity you are? " Shen Mu rose toward the river's surface with the black flood dragon, his voice carrying up through the water: "Shen Mu of Hidden Remnant Village, Hierarch of the Dark Demon Cult, Human Emperor of this age.
" Lord Dragon-Rearer was stunned for a moment, then said, crestfallen: "So you are the Human Emperor.
. .
Who taught you to be like this?
You are even harder to deal with than the Sword God of old. . . "
