Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel

Chapter 101: -89- Undead Revival

Charlotte had once inquired about the power of the Holy Scripture Fragment that her economical grandmother held from the Black Cat Nisi.

According to Nisi, the power that the fragment possessed was "Undead Revival."

At that time, all the servants in the manor had been transformed into living corpses, all thanks to the power of the Holy Scripture Fragment.

"The Holy Scripture Fragment of grandmother was reclaimed by the Demon Hunting Knights,"

"However, Sebastian managed to retrieve it again from the stronghold of the Blood Demon Church..."

"How interesting, truly interesting,"

Charlotte clicked her tongue.

Sebastian was unaware of the origin of this Holy Scripture Fragment, but Charlotte knew it well.

The fragment had initially been reclaimed by the Demon Hunting Knights and sealed in the sealing chamber of the Holy Royal Court’s Bold Cathedral; only the higher clergy of Bold could enter, and it required the permission of the Great Priest.

However, now that it had ended up in Charlotte’s hands, the box in the sealing chamber of the Bold Cathedral of the Holy Royal Court, which sealed the Holy Scripture Fragment, must have long been empty, hadn’t it?

"So, it seems... the Great Priest really is a protector of the Blood Demon Church,"

Charlotte exhaled lightly.

Although she had already guessed this, now having an indirect confirmation, she couldn’t help but sigh.

No wonder the Bold Duchy has not been able to eradicate the Blood Demon Church for so many years.

With a traitor like the Great Priest, it would be impossible!

Meanwhile, another question occurred to Charlotte:

"Now that this Holy Scripture Fragment has appeared, if there are other fragments within the Grand Cathedral, it’s very likely they have also fallen into the hands of the Blood Demon Church..."

"So, after all these years, just how many Holy Scripture Fragments has the Blood Demon Church of Bold actually collected?"

Upon this thought, Charlotte’s eyes glinted with eagerness:

"They must be eradicated, and then I’ll take them all back!"

"This matter... must be completed before I leave Bold City and head to my domain!"

At this moment, Charlotte’s determination to sweep the Blood Demon Church of Bold in one fell swoop grew even stronger.

"Blood Summon might give me a chance to directly locate the Bloodline members of the Blood Demon Church, but... it could also possibly attract the attention of the Blood Demon Duke."

"The Dark Night Ancient Castle is a power of the Blood Holy Scripture, and the princes of the Bloodline would definitely understand that it is my deepest secret and my greatest ace in the hole."

"Ordinary members of the Bloodline can’t see through my details, but the Blood Demon Duke might not be so easily fooled."

"Summoning a member of the Bloodline from the Blood Demon Church into my spiritual world is too risky; I still hope Sebastian can quickly capture Jordan, whether or not he can dig out the person behind the scenes, find the lair of the Blood Demon Church... it might just rely on him."

"As for now, let’s focus on inheriting the Spell first."

Gathering her thoughts, Charlotte decided to first learn the art of Undead Revival.

Although dead spirit magic was not reputable, she had no choice; having some magic to study was better than none at all.

"Inheritance!"

Charlotte chanted in her consciousness.

As she made her decision, Charlotte felt an overwhelming surge of information flood her mind.

Just like when she first inherited the Majesty Skill, specks of crimson light began to construct in her spiritual world, spreading and outlining continuously, until eventually, a spectral Spell model coalesced.

How to chant spells, how to communicate with wandering spirits, how to awaken them again...

All of it took shape in her mind.

[Inheritance Successful]

[You have mastered Undead Revival (Entry Level: 0/100)]

The transfer of knowledge ended quickly.

And the moment she mastered Undead Revival, Charlotte felt a subtle change in her Inheritance Promotion Tree.

She was moved, and quickly connected to her Inheritance Promotion Tree.

The familiar power bloomed in her spirit world, and Charlotte felt as if her vision had once again risen, coming before the constellation of the "Skill Tree."

This time, she noticed that the First Tier, which represented the Starry Rank, had opened, and the pathway to the Second Tier, representing the Silver Moon Rank, had also been cleared.

However, to reach the Second Tier, she would need to learn more spells, engage in Bloodline Resonance, and master more of the Bloodline Path.

As for more detailed aspects, she was not yet able to delve into them. She presumed she would need to learn more spells and perfect her practice in order to further understand.

Yet, looking at the familiar proficiency of Undead Revival, Charlotte felt a bit of a headache.

Unlike other magic, Undead Revival was not easy to practice, because most sentient beings in Mireya had faiths, and their souls would return to the Divine Country after death.

The requirement for Undead Revival was that the souls of the dead were still wandering in the mortal world, able to be awakened by the caster.

To achieve this, she would either have to act quickly after sentient beings had just died, before their souls were drawn back to the Divine Country, or she would have to choose non-believers.

There were too few non-believers in this world.

As for acting right after sentient beings had just died... unless there was a strong obsession before death, or the dead was a Transcendent, a believer’s soul would be quickly drawn to the Divine Country after death.

"Is there a place where one can often encounter people who have just died and whose souls haven’t yet had time to return to the Divine Country?"

Charlotte immersed herself in thought.

And soon, she came up with a string of answers:

"In fact, there are quite a few, such as the Funeral Ceremony Society, cemeteries, the Church Hospital..."

"However, the Funeral Ceremony Society and cemeteries aren’t places I can easily go to. My identity is special, I am somewhat of a celebrity in Bold, too easily arousing suspicion if I go to such places, even if I conceal my identity, it’s inconvenient."

"As for the Church Hospital... that’s also not possible, there may be frequent deaths, but there are always priests conducting funerary rites, helping the souls of the deceased return to the Divine Country."

"Besides, unless I’ve gone mad, I wouldn’t think of practicing Undead Revival in the Church Hospital. If I did, not only the disturbance from the Dark Magic but also a dozen clergy might be attracted."

Charlotte shook her head and quickly ruled out these methods of practice.

However, she soon had other thoughts:

"In fact, there’s no need to rush this spell to perfection, I can take my time... even if I can’t find targets to practice on, I should have plenty of opportunities during my operations against the Blood Demon Church."

"For instance... killing the people of the Blood Demon Church and then summoning their souls to interrogate them. In passing, completely annihilating the summoned souls to prevent their return to the Blood Demon Duke’s Divine Country..."

"From this perspective, isn’t this also a good spell for eradicating evidence?"

Charlotte pondered.

And just as Charlotte was contemplating how to practice Undead Revival in the future, she felt, as if from the depths of the universe, someone calling her name.

Charlotte’s heart stirred, and she immediately held her breath. In a daze, she seemed to hear Sebastian’s voice...

"Sebastian?"

"He’s captured Jordan so quickly?"
