Chapter 130: -118- The Blood Servant who Betrayed

Seeing her identity recognized, Charlotte seemed somewhat surprised:

"It seems... my reputation really is significant, even the Upper Priest of the Blood Demon Church can recognize me so quickly."

"Of course, my master, you are the jewel of Castel, the richest and most beautiful woman in Bold,"

Sebastian said respectfully.

The High Priest’s expression was solemn.

He narrowed his eyes and watched the two warily, commanding the other Blood Demon Cultists:

"What are you waiting for? Capture them both!"

Hearing the High Priest’s words, the True Believers of the Blood Demon Church had their pupils suffused with blood.

Those Blood Servants they were controlling had red eyes, bellowed angrily, and all drew their weapons in unison.

However, just at this moment, the beautiful girl slightly lifted her head; she lightly glanced at those Blood Servants rushing towards her; a reddish-gold radiance swirled in her pupils.

In this instant, all the True Believers felt a pain in their brains, horrified to find themselves completely severed from the remaining Blood Servants.

The next moment, a scene that terrified all the Blood Demon True Believers unfolded.

Those Blood Servants, who had just been poised to charge at the two, suddenly turned around, brandishing their weapons and roaring as they hacked toward the Blood Demon Cultists.

A Blood Demon True Believer closest to them didn’t even have time to react before they were felled by the Blood Servants who had just been loyal to them.

"Our Blood Servants have been controlled by her!" some Blood Demon Cultists cried out in terror as they watched the Blood Servants instantly turn traitor, forming a protective circle around the diminutive girl as if she were a Monarch.

In just a flash, the situation within the Underground Divine Palace was completely reversed; the Blood Servants, once Blood Demon Cultists, switched sides en masse, trapping the True Believers led by the High Priest inside the Divine Hall.

Nearly two hundred Blood Demon Cultists gathered in the Underground Divine Palace, and over three-quarters of them began attacking their own people!

They... were all Blood Servants!

Seeing the girl who had, in an instant, seized control of nearly all the Blood Servants, the High Priest’s expression was equally filled with shock:

"This is... the power of the Bloodline Royal Authority!"

"You aren’t Charlotte! Who are you?!"

Charlotte did not respond to the High Priest’s question.

She let out a light laugh and said,

"Who I am is not important."

"What is important is that all of this should end now."

With that, her expression turned cold, and she commanded the controlled Blood Servants:

"Kill them!"

Commands from a higher-ranking Bloodline resonated within the minds of the Blood Servants.

Their eyes flaming red, they howled angrily, fighting the Blood Demon Cultists like berserk beasts, heedless of the cost.

Screams rose within the Blood Demon Church; the Underground Divine Palace instantly plunged into chaos.

With an absolute numerical advantage, the unprepared Blood Demon Cultists were no match for the Blood Servants, whose loss of sanity granted them combat strength surpassing their limits, launching a near-crushing massacre on the Blood Demon Cultists.

More and more Blood Demon Cultists fell into pools of blood, the red liquid staining the floor of the temple, gradually converging into crimson streams...

Charlotte watched all this coldly, her gaze calm.

No pity, no sympathy, only indifference.

These Blood Demon Cultists were the most vicious and evil Cultists.

Each had the blood of numerous innocents on their hands.

Killing these people, Charlotte felt no burden on her conscience.

Soon, the last Blood Demon Cultist fell under the Blood Servants’ blades, their eyes still red and expressions vacant as they clustered around the Monarch-like girl, encircling the altar where the evil Divine Descent was to take place, along with the High Priest of the Blood Demon Church.

Charlotte’s gaze fell upon the altar.

Seeing the ceremony that had not yet taken place, and the unconscious priest Lotti on the altar, she smiled faintly:

"Looks like... I’ve arrived just in time."

"Your Excellency High Priestess, do you know?"

"In many stories, to highlight the importance of the protagonists turning the tide, and to accentuate the tension in the story, authors always have them arrive just as the most dangerous conspiracy is about to fully erupt..."

"Sometimes, to purposely drag out the pacing, the villains are even made to suddenly come into power, causing the protagonists, who seemed sure to win, to face an even greater crisis in the final battle..."

"The heroes go through hardships and deadly struggles, ultimately defeating the enemy, foiling the conspiracy, and upholding justice..."

"Of course, they also pay a heavy price."

"However, I don’t like this approach."

"In my view, if an absolute advantage is already established, then one shouldn’t prolong the night with dreams. Just strike at the heart and wipe out the evil spirits all at once."

"Don’t give the enemy a chance to turn the tables, nor an opportunity to realize their conspiracy."

"Of course, I don’t think of myself as the righteous hero..."

"But you... you do resemble the villains in stories quite a bit."

"What do you think?"

Charlotte stood in front of the High Priestess, saying this with a smile.

The Blood Demon High Priest’s expression was serious.

Looking at the girl before him, his gaze grew more intense and revealed a hint of uncertainty and surprise:

"I can sense a chilling power emanating from you..."

"That is not a power mortals possess."

"Perhaps, instead of Miss Charlotte, I should address you as Your Majesty?"

He spoke, not waiting for Charlotte’s response, he continued:

"This mysterious Your Majesty... Our Blood Demon Church does not wish to be your enemy."

"I can feel a power from you that is of the same origin; you must be a returned Your Majesty from the Kilari Clan, right?"

"Your power is very strong, extremely strong, and I know that I am no match for you; in your eyes, I am but an insignificant ant..."

"But, you should be aware of whom I stand behind."

"The resurgence of deities is a long process, and a deity in its weakened state is dangerous. This is no secret to us, the True Belit were who serve the Blood Demon Duke."

"Even though I am merely the Blazing Sun, as the executor of my lord’s will, I too am within my lord’s notice..."

"I think... the great You would not wish to see, a conflict with the Your Majesty whom we believe in, right?"

The Blood Demon High Priest’s attitude was reverent.

However, his words were full of threats.

"Master... he’s likely a prospective Favored of the Blood Demon Duke! If we kill him, it’s very likely that we’ll draw the attention of the Blood Demon Duke!"

Sebastian said solemnly.

A prospective Favored?

A flicker of thought passed through Charlotte’s mind.

Her gaze casually swept over the slowly flowing blood on the ground, and she suddenly chuckled:

"Are you threatening me?"

"No..."

The High Priest shook his head.

Suddenly, he extended his hand, pulled out a dagger, and plunged it into his own chest, saying with a fanatical expression:

"I am simply... delaying time."

As he made his move, splattering fresh blood fell to the floor, and the blood previously spilled by the Blood Demon Cultists started rapidly gathering towards the central altar...
