Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel
Chapter 490: -21- Demon Contract_2

Chapter 490: -21- Demon Contract_2

As for the high-tier magic "Death Gaze" that appeared, to Charlotte with her current strength at the Silver Moon level, it was somewhat pointless. However, perhaps when using the Blood Divine Power or during True Ancestor Liberation, she could give this Blazing Sun-level magic a try.

One by one, the Holy Scripture Fragments returned, making the Blood Holy Scripture increasingly weighty.

And after the last fragment returned, the Blood Holy Scripture burst forth with even more dazzling brilliance.

It was no longer the crimson glow, but the gold brilliance that Charlotte was familiar with.

Seeing that glow, Charlotte’s spirit was instantly invigorated.

For the Blood Holy Scripture, every replenishment of pages was a restoration, and each restoration meant the evolution of new Bloodline spells.

And when the restoration reached certain milestones, the Blood Holy Scripture would unlock even more powerful "Abilities"!

These weren’t just spells, but more potent, and more unique powers.

From the earliest "Divine Technique Counter" to the later "Blood Summon," up to the current trump card "True Ancestor Liberation," and the "Divine Grace Blessing" and "Faith Network" that started Charlotte on the path of faith, it was all the same.

Clearly, having absorbed so many fragments this time, the power of the Blood Holy Scripture had advanced to a new stage!

Charlotte split her controlling consciousness of the "Puppet," focusing her main energy back on the Blood Holy Scripture, and quickly saw ancient gold inscriptions begin to emerge on the new blank pages—

"Blood Holy Scripture-Dark Chapter"

"I listen to the mad hymns and the whispers of demons,"

"I carve the evil true names and ancient Divine Statues,"

"In the name of darkness, I summon the veil of shadows,"

"With a frenzied spirit, I summon the spirit of chaos,"

"With the body of a Blood Spirit, I summon the eye of defilement,"

"With the oldest contract as my witness..."

"Core restoration of the Chapter of Darkness, the ultimate ability unlocked—"

"Demon Contract (Active)"

"Demon Contract: As the supreme Divine Artifact of the Bloodline, the Blood Holy Scripture records the obedience contracts signed between the True Ancestors and the oldest Demons. It can summon any responding Demons from the present world to command them, with the summoned Demon’s strength directly proportional to the provided power. The time a Demon stays in the present world correlates with the power provided. All beings with Demon blood will be subject to the contract to a certain extent."

"Demon... Contract?"

Charlotte paused for a moment.

This new ability was somewhat unexpected.

Magic to summon Demons was not absent in the Chapter of Darkness. Now, the Recording Magic that Charlotte acquired before included spells to summon small Demons and Shadow Demons.

However, those were directional spells, but this spell was described more generally.

Charlotte had never used magic to summon Demons, because she never needed to.

Dark Magic itself was taboo in the New Moon Kingdom, let alone spells that summoned Demons. As a Lord, Charlotte wasn’t short of errand runners, so the so-called Demon Summoning was quite superfluous.

For this reason, when she saw this newly emerged ability, Charlotte’s first feeling was somewhat of disappointment.

However, Charlotte knew that every ability unlocked by the Blood Holy Scripture was actually not simple, especially considering the text descriptions; this was an ability that emerged after the core of the Chapter of Darkness had been almost completely restored, and it was very likely related to the essence of the Chapter of Darkness, too.

Charlotte studied it carefully again and soon discovered the special nature of this new ability.

Firstly, "Demon Contract" did not limit the strength and type of Demon summoned. As long as the energy used for summoning was sufficient, the strength of the summoned Demon would also be substantial. In a sense, if one was willing to spend sufficiently, it could even summon a Mythical-level Demon...

Second, the summoned demon must obey the Demon Contract, and although its stay is limited, it must unconditionally obey the summoner, unlike other summoning contracts where there is a fear of demon backlash.

Third, it’s not just about the demons that are summoned; possessing this ability is equivalent to having signed a broad contract with all demons. Although the binding force isn’t as strong as that of the summoned demons, any existent with the demon’s blood will be suppressed in Charlotte’s presence.

This is quite powerful.

With no limits on the power and types of demons that can be summoned, there is wider applicability. If Charlotte is willing to invest heavily, she could even summon a being of Demon Monarch caliber to serve as her enforcer, which is significant when facing off against transcendental powers.

You see, although True Ancestor Liberation can grant Charlotte nearly demigod-like strength, that still leaves her as a single combatant, and she’s rather crude in her use of Blood Divine Power. She’s not necessarily equipped to best those seasoned legends in a real fight.

This is where the Demon Contract comes into play.

As long as she’s willing to spend Divine Power, summoning a Demon Monarch is enough for Charlotte when going up against legends; she could simply drown the opposition in Divine Power.

And aside from that, the fully compliant summoned demons are essentially expendable troops for Charlotte to cause problems with.

When she can’t afford to be directly involved, she can also use this ability to summon some demons to stir chaos.

For example... right now happens to be a good opportunity.

Moreover, there’s a fourth point, which is the power of the Blood Demon Sect...

It’s been almost two years since her crossing, and Charlotte has been dealing with the Blood Demon Sect for almost the same length of time.

The Blood Demon Sect isn’t dubbed so just because its teachings are evil; it’s also closely tied with demons.

Many of the Sect’s powers are similar to those of demons. Even Yabaton, the Blood Demon Duke, from the spells offered in sacrifices to him, one can deduce that he should be an Abyss Demon.

Most of the Bloodline already have dual identity attributes. For example, Charlotte is of the Bloodline, but she is also a human with Half-Elf heritage. Although, strictly speaking, she is no longer human, her identity before becoming of the Bloodline has left its mark, allowing her to operate in the civilized world as human as long as she doesn’t expose her true powers.

Similarly, Blood Demon Duke Yabaton is of the Bloodline, but before becoming one, he was probably a demon.

At the same time, all members of the Blood Demon Sect derive their powers almost entirely from the Blood Demon Duke...

This brings up another interesting fact.

That is, all of the Shedite Bloodline inherently have a certain degree of demonic power, their bloodlines deep within also carry demon blood.

The "Demon Contract" has a certain binding effect on beings with demon blood, and the blood of the Blood True Ancestor has a suppressive effect on other Bloodline members...

Charlotte suddenly became very curious about how much strength the Bloodline members of the Blood Demon Sect could muster in her presence.

She felt that these days might be a good time to test it out.

After studying the "Demon Contract" for a while, Charlotte set it aside.

She was delighted by the recovery of the Holy Scripture Fragments, but this was clearly Bertrand’s storage room from his treasury, and there was still much to investigate.

As a Blood Count and also a Landed Noble of the Kingdom, Charlotte was very interested in his collection.

Charlotte first turned her attention to the boxes, opening each one to find they were filled with various precious magic materials and artifacts.

She wasn’t new to this; she quickly assessed them with a glance, and with the help of "Transcendent Valuation" from the Spirit Path, she estimated that the roomful of transcendent materials and artifacts was probably worth several million gold tanas.

Although Charlotte was wealthy, transcendent items often couldn’t be acquired with money alone, and she planned to take away as much as she could carry.

After a "sweep", Charlotte’s attention was soon drawn to the books on the inner shelves.

Most of the books on the shelves were forbidden tomes documenting Black Magic and Bloodline spells.

With the Blood Holy Scripture in hand, these weren’t too appealing to Charlotte. What really piqued her interest was a roll of parchment and a hefty tome tucked away in a corner of the shelf.

These were a register and a journal.
