Chapter 1079 Redemption.

Fenrir also isn't looking down on the Ghoul anymore. Somehow the size difference between the two of them had disappeared. It is either that he has shrunk without his knowledge or that the white Ghoul enlarged to match his size without his knowledge. His divine sense confirmed it to be the former. He has shrunken and it is still going on.

Space seemed to have turned into frozen rock around him. The frozen space is also contracting and forcefully compressing him. It is why he is shrinking and why a small ghoul can wrap his tiny hand around his neck without him being able to fight back. It is something he has never seen or experienced before so it is making him panic.

Rinoz said in a soothing voice. "Rejoice. For soon you will be the bane of the Vampires. You will gain the ability to hunt all things and be unstoppable in your hunts. You might even get to eat the sun."

The white Ghoul then bit him. Its wide and toothy maw latched onto his neck and almost snapped him in two with the force of the bite. The law of order rushed into him from the white ghoul. It rewrote his existence for a single purpose.

Pure agony shot through his whole being. He opened his mouth to scream but he couldn't scream. His mind was overloaded immediately by the Injection of the law of order. He couldn't resist at all. His body began to shake and spasm. His bones cracked and his joints snapped. His life force was drained and replaced with something cold. His wide eyes became bloodshot until they turned completely red and even began to glow.

His life flashed before his eyes and he couldn't help but think to himself, "I am Lamplad after all. I am also a pawn." 

That was his last thought before darkness enveloped his mind. He lost weight and body mass very quickly. His black shiny fur fell away and his skin became tough and wrinkled like aged leather. It made him look like a shriveled copy of himself.

Then he was inflated ever so slightly. He regained some form of posture but he is not the same anymore. He will never be the same ever again.

It is as if he was hollowed out to make room for something else. That something else is the imperative of the law of order.

His existence was overwritten swiftly, albeit inefficiently, and without care for order. The priority of this change is for a single purpose and the directives to achieve that purpose. He became a ghoul whose whole existence is for the eradication of ghouls in the plane.

"The first Warrog Ghoul," Rinoz said in anticipation. "And also one of the representatives of the fountain of life."

This is an important occasion for the Warrogs. The once-great Emperor Fenrir has now become the first Warrog ghoul. He betrayed the Warrogs by becoming the lackey of the fountain of life but he will be able to redeem his honour soon.

Rinoz let the connection between Fenrir and his patron open up. She had previously locked it up when she was betrayed. Now she let it open up so that the law of order within Fenrir can get access to the fountain of life too.

Nothing seemed to happen for a while. Then the ground seemed to shift just a little bit. That was nothing drastic but Rinoz grinned happily.

"That will teach the traitor. It will be weakened for a while. I will use that time to eliminate its influence from within the plane."

Then she said to the white Ghoul. "Feed him a heart of Carnage."

A ghoul warped to the white Ghoul. This ghoul has green skin, unlike the usual black one. It is a recently created ghoul from the wood elves. This ghoul also has a helpless Vampire in its embrace.

The vampire is hugged tightly so that it won't be able to escape. It is just a precaution. The Vampire won't be able to escape now that it is weakened and it is daytime.

The Primogenitor is not burning up in the sun but it has become too weak to put up any resistance. No primogenitor will be able to maintain their strength after they have had to endure both the sun and the pleasantness of Rinoz's presence.

The white Ghoul took the Primogenitor and sent the ghoul away. Then it fed the Primogenitor to Fenrir. Fenrir gobbled up the Primogenitor quickly. Then he began to change into a white Ghoul. His body hardened further while his shriveled black skin became completely white. His red eyes also turned into orbs of pitch black. It was then that a fraction of his mind returned.

He growled to Rinoz. Rinoz heard his true meaning. Fenrir had said, "We follow you. You child of the plane. So you lead."

He didn't recognize anything about her apart from her being the child of the plane. One might call him sentient. But he is not intelligent. And he is not Fenrir. Fenrir is no more.

Rinoz nodded. She accepted the loyalty nonetheless. The Ghouls do not obey her because they find her to be a great leader or inspiring. She is simply the tool or mouthpiece of the will of the plane and they are the tool of the will of the universe. The two of them can work together to achieve the same aim.

They have strength while she has intelligence which they are sorely lacking. Now, no one will be able to delay Ghouls with familiars anymore. She can order them and help them make intelligent decisions.

She asked the new ghoul, "Do you have it on lockdown?"

It growled in the affirmative. She sighed in relief and thought to herself, "That's good. I didn't kill my mentor for nothing."

Then she said to it, "Seek it. Find it wherever it is in the plane."

It nodded. Then it warped away.

Her eyes grew cold after the new white ghoul disappeared. "It can't hide anymore. I will find it wherever it is. Then I will end it."
