Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel
Chapter 97: -85- Come and fight!

Chapter 97: -85- Come and fight!

Starry First Tier.

Charlotte’s heart stirred slightly, then she also felt a surge of delight.

As a lord, she couldn’t possibly rely on her own power alone to control her territory; Transcendent followers were essential.

And for a youth who had consolidated the Source Power Heart at fourteen to become a Transcendent Knight, although he could not be called a genius, he was certainly very talented.

At this moment, the surrounding youths finally noticed Charlotte.

They quickly fell silent and gathered in front of the young girl, respectfully bowing:

"Lord Charlotte!"

Charlotte smiled slightly:

"Everyone has worked hard."

Rand quickly came over too.

This carefree young man was also very excited, his bare arms and his forehead drenched with sweat from striking the sandbag.

Charlotte could even sense, through her acute Spiritual Sense, his robust aura!

Although much weaker than the captain of the Demon Hunting Knight Squad, Chatham, he was far stronger than the other new recruits of the manor.

Together, they gave Charlotte a feeling as if they were stars and the bright moon.

"Lord Charlotte!"

Rand knelt on one knee, his right hand placed on his chest, respectfully performing a knight’s salute to his sovereign.

"Rise, when did you get promoted?"

Charlotte asked with a smile, her expression innocent and romantic, filled with a young girl’s joy.

Rand scratched his head with a naive gesture:

"Hehe, it was last night. After I went home last night, people from the Judgement Court attacked our home, injuring my father, and then, in my anger... I, I consolidated the Source Power Heart."

The consolidation of a Source Power Heart was indeed influenced by intense emotions.

Clearly, the youth had blasted his way through in extreme anger.

In fact, many nobles chose similar methods; perhaps the methods varied, but they led to the same outcome, which was also the mainstream path for Transcendent Knights to ascend in ranks without using the Source Power Seed.

Of course, the youth’s promotion process must not have been so simple.

Charlotte could even imagine, although Rand spoke lightly of it, it must have been a moment of life and death crisis for him then.

The Local Judge Force was always ruthlessly harsh against resisters.

He likely burst forth amidst extreme anger and fear during a desperate battle.

"Did they injure your father? Was it serious? How is he now?"

Charlotte slightly furrowed her brows, her expression full of concern, her clear blue eyes filled with tension.

Rand gratefully said:

"With the help of a Demon Hunting Knight for the healing, my father’s injuries are no longer serious."

Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief, gently patting her chest like an innocently naive princess:

"That’s good..."

Strictly speaking, although Charlotte was worried about Rand’s father’s injuries in her heart, she didn’t exaggerate her reaction as much as she showed.

But since her appearance was that of a cute little girl, she knew how to act to draw her followers’ hearts closer to her own.

Charlotte knew her heart was not pure.

But what of it?

Even if you are not a nobleman, if you keep doing noble deeds all your life, you are a nobleman.

As a ruler, she knew how to do better.

Seeing her this way, the gaze of the young boys and girls grew even more respectful.

"What is the awakened bloodline power?"

Charlotte asked again.

Unlike the nobles with bloodline inheritance, for Transcendents like Rand, their parents, though Transcendents, might never have had a Transcendent in their ancestry.

Or even if there was, none had reached the rank of a Silver Moon Second Tier.

Transcendents below Silver Moon Second Tier do not develop inheritable bloodlines, so the awakened Transcendent powers of people like Rand are usually different from those of most nobles, typically without special bloodline effects.

Of course, after becoming a Starry First Tier, it’s akin to a Second Awakening.

Those without a bloodline will awaken one, and those with a bloodline will strengthen theirs.

Charlotte was an exception.

She was different from other nobles; before crossing over, her original self was always treated like a caged canary, never having undergone bloodline awakening.

However, upon crossing over, Charlotte became part of the Bloodline, which possibly overrode her noble bloodline.

But even so, after becoming a Starry First Tier, Charlotte faintly felt some changes deep within her bloodline.

Yet, she hadn’t tested what it was specifically, only sensing that it seemed related to the Bloodline.

"It’s Rock! My bloodline power... is Rock!"

Rand said happily.

Rock, huh...

Charlotte’s heart stirred slightly.

Rock was a common awakened bloodline for Transcendents without bloodline inheritance stepping into a rank.

As the name suggests, it enhanced aspects related to defense and strength.

Especially in terms of defense, the enhancement was significant, with the body becoming as tough as rock when the bloodline was activated.

Charlotte even seriously wondered if, perhaps because she had beaten Rand too much last week and he was similarly beaten by the Judgement Troop during awakening, he had awakened such a bloodline.

However... that was quite good.

The Rock bloodline was one of the best bloodlines for a Guardian Knight.

Hmm... Although Charlotte was doubtful that she really needed the other party’s protection, he was quite suited to being a punchbag.

Rand, having successfully advanced in rank, seemed quite excited.

He clenched his fist and said happily,

"Lord Charlotte, now... I am also a Starry Knight."

"I know, you chose me as your opponent in the past because I could take a beating..."

"But, I know, you were still holding back your strength. You could have fought many of us alone, and the past me was no match for you."

"But now, hehehe... now I have advanced in rank! And the awakened bloodline is Rock!"

"From now on, you can fully unleash your power and treat me as a sparring partner!"

Rand became more and more excited, clearly proud of being the first among all the newcomers to step into the rank of Transcendent with the power of Starry.

At the same time, Charlotte also sensed that this young knight also had the obstinacy of youth.

Although he didn’t say it, he probably felt stifled being constantly pressurized by a "little girl."

However, Rand’s words instantly sparked Charlotte’s interest.

Testing physical qualities with a magic device was indeed a method, but... rather than using devices, she was more interested in a fight.

And now she had encountered someone who had also awakened the power of Starry, and someone who was previously dominated by her; she suddenly felt an itch in her hands.

Of course, she was from the Bloodline, and strength was not the forte of Bloodline; agility and magic were.

Even her magic was mediocre; she could only cast Majesty Skill now.

Rand, having advanced in rank and awakened the power of his Bloodline, must have undergone a tremendous change in strength.

But Charlotte didn’t care about winning or losing.

After all, she was just a little girl; what would losing matter?

"Sure, why not give it a try?"

Charlotte’s eyes brightened, eager to test.

Upon hearing the girl’s proposal, the young boys and girls were stunned.

"Master, be cautious... Rand has just condensed the Source Power Heart, and although this old servant is not Transcendent, he knows that it’s difficult for those who have just stepped into a rank to control their power. You..."

Casimodo’s face changed slightly, hurriedly speaking.

"Mr. Casimodo, don’t worry, I am already accustomed to my current power, and I will not use all my strength. With only one hand and one-third of my power... that would be about equal to Lord Charlotte."

Rand said confidently.

After speaking, he scratched his head:

"If you really are worried, I could also not fight back!"

"Actually, I also want to test my current defensive power under the activation of my bloodline; in the manor, Lord Charlotte has the strongest power."

"Lord Charlotte, please strike at me with all your might, let me test my current defensive power!"

"This..."

Casimodo looked hesitant.

Charlotte, however, was amused.

She confirmed one thing: knights indeed have less keen Spiritual Sense compared to Spellcasters; Charlotte already sensed Rand’s formidable strength, but Rand hadn’t noticed that she had also advanced.

There was no point in surprising the opponent by concealing strength; the opponent was not an enemy.

Charlotte no longer hesitated, but actively released the magic aura inside her, smiling:

"No need, go all out."

Rand was stunned, about to say something, but sensing the suddenly rising formidable aura from Charlotte, his honest expression quickly turned serious.

Meanwhile, the surrounding boys and girls also quieted down.

They watched Charlotte dumbfounded, feeling the girl was like a terrifying volcano erupting with magic power, her aura becoming increasingly formidable.

As for Casimodo, he was already somewhat unstable, his legs trembling.

He widened his eyes in astonishment, looking towards Charlotte:

"Rank... Rank?!"

Several Magic Apprentices also swallowed hard, their expressions bewildered:

"Lord Charlotte... you, established the Magic Pool, became a Mage?"

"But... you managed to dominate Rand before, you... weren’t you an Apprentice Knight?"

"No... Lord Charlotte isn’t just a Mage, nor just a Knight."

The solemn Rand shook his head.

His gaze firmly fixed on the girl, sensing some kind of formidable aura similar to Source Power deep within her Bloodline, he said with a complex look:

"Lord Charlotte, you are practicing Dual Cultivation..."

Taking a deep breath, he clenched his fists slightly, his eyes also full of fighting spirit:

"Lord Charlotte, you truly deserve to be the leader of the Castel family."

"It seems... I really don’t need to hold back."

Charlotte smiled faintly.

Of course, she was not practicing Dual Cultivation.

But being from the Bloodline, a Magic Creature, saying she practiced Dual Cultivation was not incorrect.

Humans aren’t Magic Creatures.

Those without Magic Affinity and Magic Circuits could only become Knights.

And those who opened a Magic Pool to become Mages, devoting themselves to magic, would hardly pick up Source Power training to condense a Source Power Heart again.

But Magic Creatures were different.

Magic Power and Source Power, after all, are just two different manifestations of one kind of energy.

Inside Magic Creatures, Magic Power is Magic Power, and is also Source Power.

Magic Creatures... all amount to Dual Cultivation!
