Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel
Chapter 370: -123- You are the Blood Demon!

Chapter 370: -123- You are the Blood Demon!

"Father! What happened? I thought I heard the sound of an Elemental Burst just now..."

Count Gaston clumsily escaped from the tavern, only to be confronted by his eldest son, Audis, who was waiting outside with soldiers ready to coordinate with the act at a moment’s notice.

"Retreat! The plan has failed! We must meet up with the army immediately, we might still have a chance to turn the tide!"

Count Gaston said in haste.

"Failed?"

Audis was taken aback.

Meanwhile, Count Gaston, surrounded and guarded by his trusted aides, retreated while saying with a sullen face:

"Sebastian has mastered magic capable of extreme long-distance teleportation. The teleportation failed."

"Long-distance teleportation magic? Teleportation... Legendary?!"

"Not legendary. If he had been legendary, he would have discovered our plan the moment he entered the tavern. He must have some kind of precious magical artifact! The ambush plan has already failed. However... the army that Charlotte brought isn’t large; if we quickly meet with our forces and deploy the Magic Energy Formation, we have a second chance!"

"Are we going to start a war outright? Could it be..."

"We can’t worry about that now. First, we’ll use the Magic Energy Formation to trap Sebastian, and force Charlotte to stay, and then we can address the rest. There’s always a way to make amends!"

Count Gaston said quickly.

"Oh? Magic Energy Formation? Does this mean you’ve brought out all of Tulip’s garrisoned forces?"

A familiar and pleasant voice suddenly rang out in front of them, startling Count Gaston.

He turned his head to see, only to find that Charlotte, who should have stayed in the tavern under Sebastian’s protection, was now standing in front of him alone, under a large tree by the road.

The tree shade hid her within the darkness, lending her an aura of mystery.

"Count Castel?!"

Seeing Charlotte suddenly appear before him, Audis was slightly stunned.

Count Gaston’s expression also changed.

But when his gaze swept around and did not see Sebastian, he squinted his eyes slightly:

"Lord Charlotte, have you left Sebastian to fight while you alone pursue us?"

Charlotte nodded and said with a smiling face:

"Yes, the luncheon you spoke of hasn’t even started yet, and you’re in a rush to leave. Keeping one’s word is a virtue of the nobility. As your colleague, naturally, I had to persuade you to turn back."

Count Gaston’s expression darkened.

As a well-informed Count, he knew that the other party would not be foolish enough to come alone to intercept them without any chance of victory, not to mention that even he, a seasoned Silver Moon, had not sensed when exactly she had moved in front of him.

But likewise, reason told him that the other party was just a sixteen-year-old girl whose Transcendent powers had awakened only last year. No matter how talented, she couldn’t be that strong and at best possessed some powerful magical artifact.

Therefore, he made his decision in an instant and commanded his Transcendent guards by his side:

"All at once! Take her down for me!"

Following Count Gaston’s order, more than a dozen Transcendents rushed towards Charlotte at once, the majority of whom were tier-entering men, with two whose strength reached the Second Tier of Silver Moon.

Gaston’s eldest son, Audis, also drew his sword, preparing to charge at Charlotte, but was quickly pulled back by his father.

Charlotte’s eyes fell on the Transcendents rushing towards her.

Feeling the surging Transcendent Aura from their bodies, she was also eager to try. Magic power coursed through her, and her Bloodline Power burst forth instantly.

At the same time, the Blood Divine Power in the depths of her consciousness was quietly triggered by Charlotte.

Her hair turned into a magnificent silver color almost instantaneously, and her shoulder-length hair quickly spread down her back past her waist. A pair of beautiful blue eyes also turned to a striking gold red.

At this instant, an indescribable, ancient aura slowly spread across her body.

It wasn’t "True Ancestor Liberation."

But she had already used some of the power from the "True Ancestor Liberation."

Even as she had stepped into the rank of Silver Moon, Charlotte was cautious and directly employed what was her strongest power!

After entering the Silver Moon rank, Charlotte became even more proficient with the use of Blood Divine Power, no longer as crude as before. And till this day, using Blood Divine Power in such a sparing way had become a habit for Charlotte...

Her hand surged with black and red magic power, which then transformed into a long black sword.

"Dark Weaponry"

This was a middle-tier magic that Charlotte had recently learned, though for now, she could only construct a Dark Element Sword.

With the long sword in hand, she met head-on with two Silver Moon Second Tier Transcendents charging at the forefront.

There were no techniques, no fancy sword skills.

The moment the weapons in the hands of the two Transcendents touched the black long sword Charlotte had conjured, they shattered instantly, just like an egg smashed against a rock.

The strength of "Dark Weaponry" was related to magic power.

The magic power of the Bloodline was already far superior to their human contemporaries, let alone the fact that Charlotte was also leveraging the power of Blood Divine Power. Even if the weapons wielded by the two Transcendents were finely crafted magic weapons, they were no match for this "temporary Divine Artifact" imbued with Divine Power.

The two Transcendents were stunned, their expressions changed suddenly, and they hastily drew their backup weapons, but Charlotte was quicker.

Her figure instantly turned into black mist, ghostly passing through the two Transcendents.

And when her figure coalesced again, a burst of blood mist erupted from the two Transcendents, who then slowly fell over.

In the horrified gazes of the other Transcendents, the bodies of the two formidable Silver Moon beings seemed to wither rapidly, quickly turning into two dried-up corpses.

Meanwhile, the black long sword in Charlotte’s hand seemed to glow more deeply.

"Blood... Blood Demon!"

Seeing this scene, the remaining Transcendents screamed in shock, suddenly filled with fear.

"Blood... Blood Demon?!"

Count Gaston and his son also had dramatically changed expressions, their faces a picture of shock.

"Go!"

Seeing Charlotte effortlessly kill two Silver Moon Second Tier Transcendents, he no longer hesitated, pulling his eldest son and running into the woods.

Behind him, the exclamations of other Transcendents continued.

Audis couldn’t help but look back, and in just a few seconds, all the Transcendents they had left to cover their retreat had fallen.

Charlotte’s figure disappeared, leaving only corpses drained of magic power and blood on the ground...

"Father... Father! She’s gone!"

Audis yelled in panic.

A sense of unprecedented crisis washed over him, and Count Gaston instinctively drew his sword, but before he could even raise it, a tremendous force came from the blade, and his sword shattered, leaving only the hilt.

Black mist gathered in front of him, and Charlotte’s figure reappeared.

The pleasant voice rang out again, but to Gaston, it carried an added thrill:

"Count, where do you think you’re running to?"

Watching Charlotte’s drastically changed appearance, Count Gaston’s expression grew grave:

"You... You’re not Charlotte! You’re a Blood Demon!"
