Chapter 431: -179- The best ’container
"Black Dragon?"
Charlotte was momentarily stunned to see the massive creature attacking her two Blood Favored.
But she soon furrowed her brow slightly.
It might have been because she was watching the battle indirectly through the vision of her Favored, or perhaps there was some kind of interference in this place, but for some reason, she felt that the Black Dragon seemed out of place.
"Is it you?"
Upon seeing the Black Dragon that appeared before him, Sebastian looked surprised.
"You know each other?"
Yulster glanced at him.
"We had a fight once, and she got away."
Sebastian said languidly.
After speaking, he stretched out his right hand and gently pulled in the void, summoning the Flame Sword with a smile as he watched the Black Dragon in midair:
"Lady Black Dragon, we meet again."
The Black Dragon didn’t respond, but let out a long howl and dove towards the two.
Sebastian chuckled lightly and charged forward with his sword, as did Yulster.
The two sides quickly engaged in combat.
And it wasn’t until this moment that Charlotte finally realized something was amiss.
Under the augmentation of the Blood Holy Scripture, within the "vision," she saw the magic power within the Black Dragon bubble and churn like boiling water; beneath its fierce appearance, it was nearly all volatile magic power on the verge of going berserk.
Its presence felt identical to that of "Elder Maxim," whom Charlotte had once exploded.
Charlotte’s heart suddenly grew cold.
No...
This wasn’t a real Black Dragon, but an avatar crafted from magic power!
She hurriedly sent a warning through the Blood Summon to her two Favored, and they immediately sensed an impulsive warning deep within their hearts.
Danger!
There is danger!
Sebastian and Yulster’s expressions changed almost simultaneously.
They quickly retreated, but it was already too late.
At the same moment, web-like cracks spread across the Black Dragon’s body, and its purple-black magic power burst forth instantly, creating a terrifying Magic Storm.
The "Black Dragon" self-destructed.
The devastatingly wild magic power swallowed everything in an instant.
However, just when the two thought they were about to be seriously injured, a familiar and mysterious power once again enveloped their bodies.
A crimson glow spread over them, and the horrific explosion of magic power became like a gentle breeze brushing their faces, no longer able to harm them in the slightest.
The magic power gradually calmed, and the different space was in a shambles.
Yet, Yulster and Sebastian were completely unharmed.
They first looked grimly at the site of the "Black Dragon’s" self-destruction before lowering their heads to observe the fading crimson glow on their bodies, each flashing a hint of enlightenment in their eyes.
"It’s the Ancestor, His Majesty is watching over us, and He has protected us once again!"
Yulster’s face showed relief, and his voice was a bit excited.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that joining the Blood True Ancestor was the most correct and wise decision.
This was not about selling one’s freedom and life to the other.
Not to mention that most of the time after becoming Favored, the other party had barely interfered with him, and even saved his life when he faced mortal danger.
This was like having a mighty talisman to protect oneself!
Of course, he had momentarily forgotten that had it not been for his involvement with a certain Blood True Ancestor, he might never have encountered all sorts of dangers given his normally reclusive lifestyle...
Sebastian made a sign of the thorny rose on his chest with a look of piety, then looked towards the depths of the different space, saying solemnly:
"The recent commotion was significant, they must already know of our arrival."
"Let’s continue deeper, and be ready for battle at any moment!"
The two quickly picked up their weapons and ventured further into the depths of the different space.
Although they had just faced danger, knowing now that a deity was watching and protecting them, their courage grew substantially, and their confidence was somewhat boosted.
Meanwhile, in the realm of consciousness, Charlotte, having resolutely used the Blood Divine Power, breathed a sigh of relief.
"The consumption and waste of divine power when exerting force remotely and indirectly is still too great. It seems... in necessary situations, I should consider direct possession through the power of the Blood Holy Scripture to enact Divine Descent. That way, perhaps the needless consumption might be reduced."
Comparing the recent instantaneous surge of divine power for protection, Charlotte pondered thoughtfully.
But soon, she was struck by a thought and "looked" towards the different space where the two were located.
She didn’t know if the "Black Dragon’s" self-destruction had changed the magic there, weakened some kind of interference in the unseen forces, or if Yulster and Sebastian’s continuous advancement had strengthened her ability to receive "signals."
Within her perception, the connection with her Black Cat, Nisi, began to restore.
...
This was an ancient, weathered Divine Hall.
The divine statue within the hall had been destroyed, replaced by a sinister sculpture with bat wings sprouting from its back, resembling a demon.
Above the statue was the demon’s eye, emitting a deep and subdued glow, and in front of this eye, there lay a large blood pool filled with a viscous dark red liquid.
In the center of the blood pool rested an inverted cross, shackled by chains, with a plump Black Cat tied up in the middle of the crucifix.
And beside the blood pool, Lola de Legris of the Legris Family, the current Family Head, lay unconscious on the ground, similarly bound, looking as though she could be used as an offering and thrown into the blood pool at any moment.
In front of the blood pool stood three people, two men and one woman.
A male Elf, his figure hidden in the shadows, clad in the robes of a Blood Demon Church high priest.
A human Noble, donning the Legris Family crest on his chest.
And finally, a seemingly fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with black hair and crimson eyes, her face expressionless.
Nisi, the Black Cat on the crucifix, looked at the three people standing before the blood pool and swallowed hard before chuckling dryly:
"Cough cough, I say... Lord High Priest, Lord Chait, and Miss Odosia..."
"Is there some misunderstanding between us?"
"Shouldn’t the lady lying over there be the ’container’ you’ve prepared? Why have you tied me up instead?"
"I... I’m just a clever little kitty, after all. I even helped the Legris Family make so many magic artifacts. We’re on the same side, right?"
"Or are you really not afraid that after the great deity descends, they’ll find their body to be a fat and ugly Black Cat and rain down fury upon you all?"
Hearing the Black Cat’s words, the human Noble chuckled lightly:
"Lord Nicholas, you jest."
"If there is any container in this world more suitable for our lord’s divine descent, I fear none could be more fitting than the Holy Artifact you’ve crafted."
"Even though... its outward appearance is that of a cat."
Hearing the address, Nisi’s expression darkened.
It quickly looked at the girl next to it and cursed:
"Damn it! Odosia, did you betray me? This isn’t what we agreed on!"
However, the black-haired girl merely glanced at it and did not reply.
Nisi became even angrier:
"Reneging on a deal! You’re breaking your word!"
"Have you forgotten the spirit of contracts of your giant dragons?!"
"Do you really think that the one you’re trying to resurrect would recognize the person you are now? Do you truly believe that the Blood Demon Duke can resurrect someone who is soul-scattered beyond recovery?!"
"Dream on! Seriously, stop dreaming! Master Cat would bet that not even the True God can do this, nor the True Ancestor!"
The girl still offered no answer.
However, her slightly clenched fist revealed her inner turmoil was not as calm as her exterior suggested.
"Alright, there is not much time left, let’s prepare for the final ritual," the Blood Demon Priest said as he cast a Silence Technique to seal Nisi’s mouth and spoke indifferently.
"Chait, begin the bloodletting. After all, Lola is only a reserve container. Using her blood as a catalyst will increase the success rate of the Divine Descent ritual."
Upon hearing the Blood Demon Priest’s words, the human Noble stepped forward, approaching Lola.
However, just as he was about to proceed, the black-haired girl suddenly said:
"Wait..."
Their gazes immediately turned towards her.
The girl looked towards the entrance of the Divine Hall, her crimson pupils reflecting the boundless darkness:
"My avatar... has self-destructed."
"Someone is coming."
