Chapter 179: -8- Count...so amazing!_2

The young girl who had made all these attacks seemed to handle it with ease, apparently quite relaxed.

She casually shook her rusty sword, flinging the black corrupt blood on the ground, while a crimson glow flickered faintly in her azure eyes.

For the first time, a Transcendent Aura spread from Charlotte, carrying profound magic power fluctuations...

That powerful aura caused the skin of the Starry Knight Captain, who was also a transcendent, to feel a slight sting.

It was an instinct that came from the body of a transcendent when encountering a stronger one.

A tier-entering man!

Count was actually a tier-entering man!

The Knight Captain’s eyes widened.

However, at that moment, another swift figure rushed out from the horde of living corpses.

It was another tier-entering living corpse!

Like the first one, this living corpse was extremely cunning.

It chose such a clever moment and position, charging at the girl right after she had finished an attack sequence and directly from behind in a sneak attack!

The Knight Captain’s expression drastically changed, and he was about to alert everyone, but then he saw his own lord effortlessly raise a hand crossbow, shooting an arrow backward as if eyes were grown on his back.

The fierce crossbow bolt shot out, as if the angle had been calculated beforehand, piercing directly through the skull of the leaping living corpse and pinning it to a large tree.

The tier-entering living corpse convulsed a couple of times, and the eerie green flame in its eye sockets slowly extinguished.

Silence.

Complete silence.

Though the living corpses were still roaring and bellowing, the Transcendent Knights found themselves in a bizarre silence at this moment.

They all looked at the girl leading the way with incredulous gazes, as if seeing their newly appointed Countess for the first time.

Regarding Charlotte’s strength, the Transcendent Knights from the Castel Territory were unclear.

They only knew from the words of the would-be trusted aide knights loyal to the girl that she too was a transcendent.

But those stingy fellows did not reveal the specifics of her power.

And since leaving, the formidable Castel carriage convoy had not yet been attacked, so no one knew Charlotte’s strength.

The knights merely based on their first impression, thought that the young Count was likely to have only awakened her bloodline power.

They found it hard to associate the beautiful, cute, innocent, and protectively endearing Count with a powerful transcendent.

Yet at this moment, the girl’s combat ability exceeded their expectations.

Divine Lord above, the Count was actually a tier-entering man!

And... a fairly strong one at that!

Starry? Or perhaps Silver Moon?

Such great power at such a young age, could it be that Castel would see the rise of another Blazing Sun?

Seemingly sensing the knights’ gazes, the girl slightly turned her body and looked back.

Seeing the eyes focused on her, she smiled and said,

"What are you dazing out for? Break out with me."

Saying this, she casually put away her hand crossbow, now devoid of spare bolts, and in the same motion, she flung her rusty sword backward, pinning another sneaky living corpse attempting an attack to a tree.

The silvery moonlight shone on the girl, casting a mysterious glow over her.

She casually pulled the rusty sword from the nailed corpse, shaking off the dirty blood once more.

"Oh, right."

As if she remembered something, she placed her left index finger to her lips, smiled slightly at the knights behind her, her lips curving into a charming arc, while a hint of crimson flickered in her pupils:

"Keep my strength a secret, okay?"

After speaking, she chuckled lightly and turned to continue attacking toward the direction of the camp.

The Transcendent Knights blankly watched her petite figure, a touch of crimson likewise passing in their eyes, their faces showing bewilderment and fascination.

After a while, they came to their senses, quickly followed her and rushed forward as well.

Watching the seemingly fragile figure comfortably navigating through the horde of living corpses, like a Valkyrie, the Knight Captain couldn’t help but mutter:

"Count... is truly remarkable!"

...

The night was the main stage for the Bloodline.

After training in Bold for over half a year, Charlotte’s strength had significantly improved; these besieging undead were no match for her.

Compared to clearing out these living corpses, perhaps bringing back those Transcendent Knights whose powers had not yet entered a tier safely to the camp would be more challenging.

Of course, the group had not strayed too far from the camp, and under Charlotte...

Not only that, but a silver light shot up into the sky, turning into a translucent dome, sheltering everyone inside.

Charlotte recognized it; that was Nisi’s Contract Divine Skill.

Around the camp, countless living corpses were attacking the defensive fortifications temporarily constructed by the accompanying Mage using Earth Element Magic.

Charlotte looked down both ends of the main road, seeing only dense and greenish soul fires.

These were no ordinary undead.

This was clearly an undead army controlled by someone!

"Count!"

Seeing Charlotte safely return under the escort of the Transcendent Knights, Baron Shalon, who led the team, breathed a sigh of relief and hastily motioned for the knights to clear a path for everyone.

Charlotte returned to camp and casually threw down her blood-stained rusty sword; Black Cat Nisi quickly pounced over excitedly:

"Meow! Miss Charlotte, you’re finally back! If you hadn’t come back soon, we were preparing to come out for a rescue!"

Charlotte disdainfully picked up its scruff, stopping its flying leap, and then asked:

"How is the situation in the camp?"

Black Cat Nisi’s face turned serious:

"Not good! There are too many besieging undead! And many are tier-entering men!"

"Although they can’t breach the camp for now, everyone will get tired eventually...unless favored by a God, otherwise, if this stalemate continues, it will only become more dangerous."

When saying "God," it deliberately emphasized the word, clearly with an implication.

Charlotte looked at it with a half-smile, and Nisi coughed lightly, saying:

"Miss Charlotte, we probably were ambushed, so many undead must be controlled by someone, and... if there isn’t complete preparation, they definitely wouldn’t ambush with so many undead!"

Charlotte gave a non-committal response.

She nodded slightly and looked around, searching for another figure:

"Sebastian?"

"Meow! No idea! That guy disappeared as soon as the battle started!"

Black Cat Nisi spoke righteously.

Charlotte glanced at it lightly again.

Feeling the deep gaze of the young woman, Nisi slightly shrank its tail and then honestly said:

"Meow...probably... probably went to find the Necromancer behind this."

Only then did Charlotte put it down.

She contemplated whether to call Sebastian back through a vague connection but suddenly felt a movement in her heart and looked up into the air.

She saw the agile Sebastian lightly leap from the towering trees beside the road, jumping directly in front of her.

"Back? How’s the situation?"

Charlotte asked.

Sebastian’s gaze paused on the other knights and he said seriously:

"Master..."

Noticing his gaze, Charlotte subtly moved, ordering the other Transcendent Knights to continue assisting in the combat, leaving only Sebastian, herself, and Nisi the cat.

"Tell me, how many undead are there and what is their strength?"

"Many! Very many! Probably more than five thousand! Possibly even more! Not only that... there are some dead spirit servants around the perimeter!"

Sebastian spoke gravely.

Charlotte raised an eyebrow.

Dead spirit servants were of Silver Moon Second Tier strength.

However, the absence of Blazing Sun Third Tier Dark Knights in such a large-scale undead tide indicated that the puppeteers were likely just Silver Moon level Necromancers, but possibly more than one.

"Found the position of the puppeteer Mages yet?"

Charlotte asked.

Sebastian’s expression looked somewhat grim:

"No, the opponent...seems very skilled in hiding their aura."

Charlotte nodded knowingly, as if she had already anticipated:

"That’s normal, after all... The night is the Bloodline’s home field."

"Bloodline?"

Sebastian’s eyelids twitched, and his face suddenly looked a bit strange.

"Yes, the Bloodline."

"From the foul blood of those living corpses, I sensed a faint whiff of a familiar aura..."

Charlotte said, narrowing her eyes.
