Tome of Blood

Chapter 362 -18- "God's Possession"

Although he had already prepared for the possible summoning of the Gorefiend Cultist, he still couldn't help but be a little surprised when Charlotte actually got a cultist here.

You must know that the positions of the stars she chose in reality should be the closest to the Lutetia Cathedral.

Even the blood descendants at such a close distance are members of the Blood Demon Cult. When did the Blood Demon Cult become so rampant?

Looking at the unlucky guy who was summoned by him, Charlotte looked inexplicable.

And under the steps, the blood demon priest who recognized her "identity" through the thorn rose was already terrified.

"He found me!" "My power is gone!" "The plan is exposed!" "Quick... run away!"...

Various thoughts came from the heart of the blood demon priest, and Charlotte felt them all.

The blood demon priest turned around and fled, rushing towards the gate of the Dark Night Castle. He was so fast that he wished he had eight legs.

But when he rushed to the solemn gate of the ancient castle, he found in despair that he could not push the gate open...

Charlotte watched the Gorefiend Priest fleeing like a headless fly in the castle hall with great interest, and became interested in the thoughts that came out of the opponent's subconscious mind.

"plan?"

She said something to herself.

Looking at the blood demon priest with a pale face, she narrowed her eyes and slightly hooked her hands.

And the blood demon priest who fled to the corner of the castle like a cat and mouse was horrified to find that he was imprisoned by an irresistible force, and then flew towards the terrifying existence on the throne...

The crimson mist gradually dissipated, and the blood demon priest could see Charlotte's appearance clearly.

I saw him startled slightly, and his frightened expression quickly turned into shock.

he knows me...

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

Today, she has not turned into an adult, but continues to maintain the appearance of a girl, but the hair color and eye color have changed.

Obviously, the other party knew her as Earl of Castel.

Charlotte didn't have many surprises.

She has disturbed so many "good things" of the Gorefiend Cult, and it is normal for her to be registered with the Gorefiend Cult.

She also has no concerns about being identified.

Now that she has dragged him into the castle, she has no intention of letting him out alive.

Her red-gold pupils were instantly dyed crimson, and she looked into the eyes of the blood demon priest.

The huge mental explosion quickly rushed into the soul of the blood demon priest, and the memory of the blood demon priest was displayed in front of Charlotte like an open book.

At this moment, relying on the double suppression of blood power and spiritual world, Charlotte forcibly cast [Memory Probe] on the blood demon priest!

The Gorefiend Priest's eyes quickly became dull, and waves of memories also surfaced in Charlotte's heart...

Bertrand de Chevalier.

High Priest of the Gorefiend Cult, Earl of Blood, fifth-generation descendant of the Shedete Clan.

However, he has another identity, that is, the patriarch of the Chevalli family, the earl of the fiefdom directly managed by the Crescent Royal Family, and also serves as the affairs officer of the city hall of Lutecia, the capital of the king.

"noble?"

Charlotte felt as if she wasn't surprised.

And with the flash of memory, she also saw the past of this blood demon priest...

Bertrand de Chevalier had been a bloodborn for less than three years, and he was an extraordinary person whose strength had reached the peak of Silver Moon.

Three years ago, his deadline was approaching. In order to prolong his life and avoid death, he finally accepted the bewitching of the Gorefiend followers, accepted the first embrace of the blood-born, became a vampire, and joined the Gorefiend Cult.

"Huh? Only accepted the First Embrace three years ago? And the blood power is directly the Earl of Blood?"

Charlotte quickly sensed something was wrong.

The blood descendants of First Embrace are often not strong, and will definitely be lower than the elders who bestowed First Embrace.

Being able to directly promote the descendants of the first embrace to Chi Yang, this shows that the elder of the blood clan who first embraced this blood demon priest must be the Duke of Blood, and he must be regarded as a trusted confidant!

As if to verify Charlotte's guess, while she was browsing the memory of the blood demon priest, a dark red mark appeared on the other's forehead...

That is the mark of the blood servant.

This blood demon priest is also a taboo blood servant!

I saw the imprint flickering slightly, and the soul of the blood demon priest began to show a few cracks, and then quickly collapsed...

This is the activation of the restriction in the opponent's soul imprint.

Charlotte stared slightly.

She opened the Holy Tome of Blood, increased the input of mental power, and tried to stabilize the opponent's soul.

But at the same time, the mark in the opponent's soul also began to self-destruct and collapse rapidly.

Charlotte frowned slightly.

Feeling the other party's rapidly disintegrating soul and imprint of the blood servant, she used the divine power of blood without hesitation.

It's just that the experience of the Gorefiend Cult was obviously gained in the battle with the Holy Royal Court.

The blood demon priest self-destructed faster than Charlotte expected, and before she finished reading the other party's memory, the blood demon priest's soul completely collapsed.

The eyes of the blood demon priest suddenly lost their spirit, and his figure began to collapse.

he died.

This is the spiritual world.

When the soul collapses and dies, it means to dissipate.

Looking at the blood demon priest who quickly dissipated, Charlotte increased the input of blood power again.

She manipulated the holy tome of blood, wrapped the opponent's rapidly collapsing blood servant mark with divine power, and finally stabilized the mark before the blood demon priest's body completely collapsed.

The wave of self-destruction of the soul gradually receded, and the figure of the blood demon priest had completely disappeared. However, an illusory imprint of the blood servant remained in Charlotte's hand.

The blood servant mark is surrounded by the divine power of blood, keeping the mark stable.

Seeing the stabilizing imprint of the blood servant, Charlotte was slightly relieved.

The other end of the blood servant's mark is connected to the blood elder behind the blood demon priest. If the mark dissipates, the other party will definitely feel it.

The Gorefiend Cult obviously has plans in Lutetia, the capital of the kingdom, and Charlotte doesn't want to startle them yet.

Of course, it is definitely impossible not to startle the snake.

After all, if a senior priest of the Gorefiend Order died, the other party would know about it sooner or later.

But... at least the mark of the blood servant cannot be broken in the Dark Night Castle.

She had already used the divine power of blood when manipulating the soul of the blood demon priest. If it was broken here, the legendary blood descendant behind the other party would sense something wrong and would probably perceive her power.

Charlotte wasn't ready to take on the Legend head-on.

"It's really bad luck, this call of blood was completely wasted."

Charlotte sighed secretly.

She didn't expect that she was so unlucky, and randomly selected a blood descendant who was a blood demon cultist, or a taboo blood servant.

The connection between the taboo blood servant and the blood-born elder is too close, and if she is not careful, it will trigger the forbidden self-destruction. She has no time to check the memory of the other party, and the soul of the other party will completely dissipate.

Even if she used the divine power of blood, she could only see another piece of memory information.

Here is information about the blood elders behind Bertrand de Chevalier.

The blood descendant who first embraced Bertrand was a blood named Albrecht Shedete. He was the blood duke of the Shedete clan and also the dark apostle of the Gorefiend Cult.

"Albrecht Shedit..."

Charlotte muttered the name silently.

As an "old friend" of the Gorefiend Cult, Charlotte has also done some research on the organizational structure of the Gorefiend Cult.

Within the Gorefiend Cult, members are divided into five levels, namely Believers, Dark Chasers, Priests, High Priests, and Dark Apostles.

Believers are ordinary believers, including ordinary believers who believe in the Gorefiend Grand Duke and the superhumans below the advanced ones.

The Dark Chaser is an entry-level player whose strength has reached the stars, and most of them are Barons of Blood.

The priest is a superhuman of the silver moon level, the blood descendant corresponds to the blood viscount, and the senior priest above the priest is the blood count.

The highest level is the Dark Apostle, they are all legendary blood descendants, and their status is equivalent to the blood elders in the Ness clan.

The records of the Holy Royal Court also recorded information about the Gorefiend Order. As far as Charlotte knew, there were six known Dark Apostles of the Gorefiend Order.

However, out of confidentiality, the classics that Charlotte read at the beginning did not record the detailed information of the Dark Apostle.

Now, Charlotte does know the name of one of them.

"Albrecht Shedete... In the perception of the call of blood, there is a Shedete blood clan who is suspected to be a legendary blood hidden in the outer city of Lutetia. Could it be... this is Albrecht Shedete. Deeter?"

Charlotte rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

She glanced at the imaginary mark of the blood servant in front of her, and was about to cancel the blood call.

The high priest of the blood demon named Bertrand has died, and it is meaningless to continue to maintain the call of blood.

The mark of the blood servant is only temporarily stable, and it must be broken after the summoning is over.

After the call of blood is over, the legendary blood descendant behind him will also sense the death of his own blood servant.

Well, that has nothing to do with Charlotte.

She intends to disguise the death of the Gorefiend High Priest as a "derangement".

As long as the Blood Servant's mark was not destroyed in the Dark Night Castle, the other party would not be able to track her.

Thinking of this, Charlotte secretly remembered the vampire breath deep in the imprint of the blood servant, and carefully manipulated the divine power to send it out of her spiritual world.

The other end of the spiritual world is Bertrand's body.

Of course, it's a corpse now.

With the help of the connection between the "Blood Servant Mark" and the opponent's body, Charlotte mobilized the divine power of blood with spiritual power and sent it out.

However, at the moment she sent it, she only felt that her vision was suddenly drawn, and she "flyed" out along with the "Blood Servant Mark"...

Charlotte froze.

And the next moment, she found that she had an extra vision.

It was a dimly lit field of vision, and in the center of the field of vision was a solemn and sinister altar.

The surface of the altar was covered by ferocious blood vessels and wriggling sarcoid locks. The holy emblem enshrined on it had long been blurred, and even the faces of the ancient gods placed on it could not be seen clearly.

Above the altar, a huge eye is floating, its skin is covered with folds, hideous and terrifying.

It was a demon eye...

Looking at the evil thing that symbolized the Gorefiend Grand Duke, Charlotte suddenly realized that what she saw was probably where the Gorefiend Priest was just before he was pulled into the Dark Night Castle.

Not only that, but the way the altar is placed is so f*ckingly familiar, she has seen similar rituals twice before.

This should be a ritual of divine descent.

Even if it wasn't, at least it was a ceremony to communicate with the Gorefiend Duke.

After careful observation, Charlotte found that the altar here seemed to be somewhat different from the previous two visits.

The lines depicted this time seem to be more complex and larger in scale.

Relying on a half-baked level of magic, Charlotte discerned something like "sacrifice" from those inscriptions.

After careful identification, Charlotte finally overturned her guess.

This is not a god descending ceremony, but a large-scale sacrificial ceremony.

The object of the sacrifice was the Gorefiend Grand Duke.

Charlotte had some guesses in her mind.

After thinking for a while, she tried to connect her main consciousness to the extra field of vision.

Soon, a sense of dislocation as if passing through the void came. After Charlotte got used to it, she found that she had successfully switched her vision to this side.

And then... Charlotte found herself in a new body.

She lowered her head, only to see that she was wearing a familiar black robe, which was the high priest's uniform of the Gorefiend Cult.

She touched her chin, and what she felt was a rough beard...

She looked to her left hand, which still held the magic tome that Bertrand had held before, which was blackened by blood and candle smoke.

Charlotte: ...

She was possessed by Bertrand, the blood demon priest.

Charlotte hurriedly checked her mental state, and found out strangely that she had communicated with Bertrand's corpse through Albrecht Sherdet's "Blood Servant Mark".

Of course, to be more precise, she established a connection with Bertrand's corpse through the mark of the blood servant, and then sent her consciousness over through the divine power of blood.

However, Charlotte soon discovered that this possession is time-limited.

Although there is the divine power of blood to maintain the "blood servant mark" from being destroyed, it is actually only delaying the process.

The "Blood Servant Mark" is still self-destructing, but the speed has been greatly reduced.

It will still be destroyed when the breaking point is reached, and Charlotte's consciousness will be expelled from Bertrand's body.

Charlotte felt it a little bit, and found that she could maintain this state for a maximum of one to two days.

Of course, the premise is that Albrecht Shedet will not contact his blood servants through the blood servant mark.

After confirming her state, Charlotte's heart moved.

Although she failed to finish reading Bertrand's memory, she seemed to have another good opportunity to investigate the secrets of the Gorefiend Order!

Thinking of this, Charlotte looked around and found himself in a temple with a rather familiar style.

This is a dilapidated temple, which should be quite old. The light is dim, the air is stale, and it is likely to be located underground.

There are huge stone pillars standing in the temple. The stone pillars support the dome, and the rough reliefs are carved all over the surface. Although the ancient characters inscribed on the stone pillars have been eroded by the years, they still reveal a vicissitudes and mysterious atmosphere.

Surrounding the temple, there are long stone corridors, which extend into the distance, and the walls are carved with simple reliefs and murals, depicting scenes of blood wars.

In the center of the temple, there is a huge rotunda, where Charlotte is located, where the altar and the devil's eye are located.

Looking at the familiar hall and murals, Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

She recognized where it was.

This is an ancient temple.
