Tome of Blood

Charlotte got off the carriage and looked at the Ness clan's residence curiously.

This is the first time she has come to a large stronghold of the Vampire Clan. It has to be said that the castles of the Ness Clan are quite close to the vampire lair she imagined.

Fog, castle, dead trees, graves, crows, bats...

Almost every element imaginable can be found here.

Oh yes.

And gargoyles.

The vampires in the Miria world like to summon or make puppet monsters to look after their homes and homes.

Charlotte soon noticed the eighteen ferocious-looking gargoyles surrounding the teleportation square.

They looked like evil spirits, carrying bat wings on their backs, and looked directly at Charlotte with their scarlet eyes.

Hoarse mechanical sounds came from their ferocious sharp mouths:

"Warning! Warning! Strange vampires found! Strange vampires discovered!"

"Breathe analysis...identification..."

"Identification...failed! Danger rating...great threat!"

"Unfamiliar Sir, please tell me your identity and purpose of coming! Otherwise... you will be attacked by the guardians of the Ness Stone Statue!"

Under the "saint posture", Charlotte saw through the details of these gargoyles almost at a glance:

"Tsk, so that's it. After capturing a high-level transcendent, erasing his soul from his will, and then refining it into a puppet monster created by a stone statue..."

I have to say that the Ness clan has quite a deep heritage.

In Charlotte's perception, each of these eighteen gargoyles probably has a blazing sun level of combat effectiveness.

Not only that, their distribution locations are very regular, and they vaguely fit in with the magic array on the ground. They can also form strengthening spells similar to magic arrays.

As for the eighteen blazing sun-integrated spells, even the legends would definitely not dare to provoke them.

Charlotte looked at the gargoyles with interest.

She did not directly identify herself, but said calmly:

"Tell Bardock that an old friend is visiting."

The gargoyles were obviously disturbed by Charlotte's words.

After Charlotte finished speaking, they obviously went down for a while, and after a while, a low and hoarse voice sounded again:

"Lord Bardock...an old friend..."

"mistake……"

"Reservation not detected, judged to be invalid..."

"Activate the emergency magic program..."

"Expand...forcibly drive away!"

After finishing speaking, the eighteen gargoyles spread their bat wings, and their bodies flashed with red light, lighting up a layer of strange magic patterns.

Their aura soared instantly, and then without saying a word, they rushed directly towards Charlotte.

Looking at the gargoyles who attacked at the slightest disagreement, Charlotte sighed and said to Yurst, who was already about to look away:

"It seems... the puppet beings of the Ness clan are still not very smart."

Yurst:…

For a while, he really didn't know how to answer the topic of his ancestors.

The attack of the gargoyles was imminent.

Their eyes lit up one after another, and a total of thirty-six red rays shot out from their eyes, forming a huge three-dimensional network in different directions, blocking all Charlotte's escape routes.

Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly.

She could feel the amazing energy contained in the ray.

However... I didn't feel threatened.

Not only that, the ray was obviously coming very quickly, but in Charlotte's field of vision, she felt it was very slow.

It felt like...as if she could even stretch out one hand to block all the rays if she wanted to.

That's not an illusion.

Because Charlotte in "Saint Stance" is indeed faster.

Almost subconsciously, Charlotte stretched out her right hand.

She waved her hand gently, and all the red rays shooting down from all directions were blocked by her.

No, it should be more accurate to say that those energies were captured by Charlotte.

It was indeed a kind of energy. Charlotte could feel the heat and restlessness in her hands. Even in the "sage posture", her hands felt a little hot, as if she had touched hot water of 50 or 60 degrees Celsius in her previous life.

This is enough to illustrate the horror of the gargoyle's rays.

You must know that in the "Saint Stance", Charlotte's physical body has almost reached the height of a god. Coupled with the protection of divine power, attacks under the legendary can't even hope to break Charlotte's defense.

Being able to make her feel hot meant that these rays were enough to threaten Legend.

She immediately chose to let go and threw the energy back directly:

"You should keep these things for yourself."

Almost instantly, thirty-six red lights were thrown back by Charlotte, almost returning in the direction they came from.

The ray passed through the necks of the gargoyles and directly severed their heads.

Eighteen ferocious heads rolled to the ground, the scarlet eyes' red light gradually extinguished, and their bodies spread with spiderweb-like cracks, and finally collapsed completely.

Seeing this scene, Yurst also froze, looking at Charlotte with even more awe.

He knew that the True Ancestor was very strong, and he also knew that these gargoyles were definitely no match for the True Ancestor.

But he didn't expect that the true ancestor's strength had recovered to such an extent.

Maybe Charlotte doesn't know, and even many blood descendants of the Ness clan don't know much about them, but as an early third-generation vampire, Yurst knows the details of these gargoyles.

These gargoyles are all good things left behind by Kesi's crown. With the magic energy array, they can easily suppress the monsters of Legend!

Yurst knew that the power of the True Ancestor Crown was still recovering. The True Ancestor Crown also had natural blood suppression against the Vampires, but the gargoyle was not a Vampire.

These puppet lives... were specially designed to frighten those rebellious high-level vampires.

But now... just a face-to-face encounter, they were directly killed by the attack launched by him!

Thinking back to the time when he was at sea, the true ancestor drove away the giant ocean beast Kraken that had swallowed the gods with just a few words...

Yurst couldn't help but look at Charlotte, with waves surging in his heart:

The strength of the True Ancestor Mianxia... may have truly returned to the level of a myth!

And when Yurst looked at the destroyed gargoyles, he felt even more certain.

Without him, although the True Ancestor Mian instantly killed the gargoyles with overwhelming power, he did not destroy the heads of these gargoyles.

In other words, the soul core of these gargoyles is still there, and they can still be repaired as long as they are replaced with new bodies and inscription arrays.

This obviously leaves room for repair.

From a small perspective, the True Ancestor Mian... indeed does not want to wipe out the Ness clan, but I am afraid that he really wants to bring the Ness clan back under his command!

His Majesty the True Ancestor... is really different. He is more tolerant and kinder!

With this thought, the pressure and guilt in Yurst's heart were relieved a little, and he looked at Charlotte with more respect and gratitude.

Charlotte glanced at this guy inexplicably, wondering what the guy was having trouble with.

However, Yurst’s judgment was not wrong.

In a sense, Charlotte's current strength is indeed a myth.

Of course, he is only a demigod, and he still needs to continue to burn his divine power.

But... it was enough to cause a disturbance in the Ness clan's base camp.

As for not destroying the gargoyle's head... this was purely because Yurst was overthinking it. The truth was that Charlotte didn't know and didn't think much about it.

She was just worried that the throw would be inaccurate when she threw it back to attack, so she lowered her aim and aimed at the larger body of the stone statue.

Of course, if Charlotte knew the secret of the gargoyles, she would indeed make the same choice nine times out of ten. What Yoerst had in mind was actually quite right. Charlotte did not intend to destroy the Ness clan. They want to kill them all, but hope to be able to collect them.

"Clear...failed..."

"Start...level one alert..."

Intermittent sounds came from the mouths of the gargoyles, and at the end of the light extinguished, the gargoyles issued a warning.

With the magic array as the center, red beams of light rushed into the sky, blooming into bloody fireworks.

Charlotte glanced up but did not stop.

Soon, the Ness clan’s residence became lively.

The blood descendants living in the castle were finally alarmed.

The first to be dispatched were a group of extraordinary beings dressed in gray, led by several vampires in black robes.

Charlotte took a look and judged that this should be the guard force of the Ness clan that Yurst mentioned on the way. It was composed of middle and low-level vampires and blood servants.

Of course, they are said to be a security force, but in fact, the strength of these vampires is very low. The highest one is only a viscount, and most of them are just barons.

With such strength, at best, they can only do miscellaneous work for high-level vampires, maintain law and order in the stronghold, and serve as cannon fodder in case something happens.

However, those blood servants are quite strong.

Their strength is even higher than those of the vampires who lead the team. The weakest ones are Silver Moon and even Blazing Sun.

They were still wearing chains, and they looked more like prisoners than security forces.

Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

These should be some extraordinary people who were forcibly adopted as blood servants by the vampires. The source of their power is not from the vampires, but mainly from the extraordinary power they mastered before becoming blood servants.

The so-called Ness clan security force, these extraordinary beings who are blood servants, are probably the real main force.

No, after noticing the situation on the teleportation array, they rushed over quickly.

The leader of the vampires was quite young. After seeing the gargoyles shattered to pieces around the teleportation array, his expression suddenly changed.

"Who dares to cause trouble in Ness Castle? Ness servants, take them down quickly!"

He looked at Charlotte and Yurst hiding in the shadows, and ordered the blood servants.

Obviously, this young vampire did not realize what the destruction of the gargoyle guarding the teleportation array meant.

"Wait!"

Seeing that the blood servants were about to take action, Yurst shouted quickly.

After saying that, he took a step forward and walked out of the shadows.

"Yu...Lord Yurst?"

The leading vampire was stunned for a moment.

Yurst nodded.

He glanced at Charlotte, hesitated, and said:

"This is Lord Bardock's former friend. Go and tell Lord Bardock that an old friend is coming to visit the Ness clan."

"Lord Bardock's... old friend?"

The lower-level vampires looked at each other.

They looked hesitant, and for a moment they were a little unsure of how to act, until a deep voice came from behind the security force:

"Yourst? You guy, when did you come back without making any noise?"

That was a blood count.

A high-level Vampire was alerted, and the Vampires and Extraordinary members of the security force moved aside on their own.

Seeing the high-level vampires appearing, Yurst's eyes narrowed:

"Harris? Are you the one on duty this month?"

Taking a deep breath, he said:

"Harris, we will discuss our usual grievances later. If a distinguished guest comes to visit, go and report it to Lord Bardock."

"Dignified guest?"

The Blood Earl named Harris narrowed his eyes.

He glanced at the gargoyle fragments on the ground, then looked at Charlotte in the shadow, and sneered:

"I think... he's a bad visitor, right?"

"I heard that you have boarded Castel's battleship, but I didn't expect that you could come back. I guess the person next to you must be the envoy from Castel, a follower of the mysterious prince, right?"

"Hmph, Yurst actually united with outsiders to destroy the guardian stone statue of my Ness clan. Lord Alek is indeed right. It seems that you, the Yorok faction, have really turned against you!"

"Guard troops, what are you still hesitating about? You haven't activated the confinement circle yet and captured them!"

Obviously, perhaps because Ness Castle has been peaceful for too long, the Blood Earl did not realize what it meant that the gargoyles shattered so quickly, but just thought it was the work of Yurst, a member of the Ness blood family.

After receiving the order, the Ness clan's security forces immediately took action. Their magic power exploded and rushed towards Charlotte and the two.

"Harris! You... you idiot!"

Yurst was immediately anxious.

He gritted his teeth and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Charlotte.

"You are also a Ness vampire, just stay aside."

Charlotte said.

Yurst only felt a gentle but irresistible force acting on himself, preventing him from taking a step forward.

He stared blankly at Charlotte who was walking past him and out of the darkness, and realized that this was because His Majesty the True Ancestor did not want to embarrass himself because of his special status and feelings for the Ness clan.

Yurst looked moved, but after struggling for a while, he still couldn't help but said:

"Sir...sir, can you let me go..."

"Don't worry, no one will die."

Charlotte waved her hand.

Charlotte stepped out of the shadows, and Harris and the security forces got a clear look at her.

"King...blood descendant of royal power?"

Seeing Charlotte's almost iconic golden-red pupils, Earl Harris' expression suddenly changed.

He changed his expression almost instantly and said sternly:

"It turns out to be the remnants of Kirali! Guard troops! Take them down quickly! Kill them without mercy!"

After receiving the order from the high-level vampires, the security forces no longer hesitated.

The extraordinary blood servants roared angrily, and all kinds of magical radiance erupted from their bodies, rushing towards Charlotte.

Charlotte didn't shy away.

The attack came instantly, and almost instantly, she was engulfed in the radiance of magic.

"Dead...dead?"

The low-level vampire leading the team was stunned.

Earl Harris' eyes narrowed slightly.

The next moment, he seemed to sense something, and his expression suddenly changed:

"No! Back away!"

However, it was already too late.

A crimson radiance erupted, centering on the attacks of the extraordinary blood servants and rapidly spreading to the surroundings.

Sweeping by that light, the blood servants felt that their blood instantly solidified, and even their extraordinary power was sealed almost instantly.

"Puff thump thump thump..."

Almost before they could realize what was happening, they all lost their strength. Even the strength to stand seemed to be taken away. They all fell to the ground one by one and could no longer stand up.

Seeing this scene, the low-level vampires leading the team were all shocked.

"High-level blood coagulation technique! You are... a high-level vampire!"

Earl Harris' eyes narrowed again.

Charlotte walked towards him slowly.

She glanced at the surrounding castles and asked:

"Where's Bardock? Where is he."

"How outrageous! How dare you call Lord Bardock by his first name!"

Harris was furious.

He roared angrily, his magic power surged around his body, his eyes turned red, the bat wings spread out behind him, and the power of his blood exploded, he rushed towards Charlotte himself, and his hands turned into claws towards Charlotte's neck. Catch it.

Bright red light spread around him, and soon formed a barrier, covering Harris and Charlotte.

At this moment, the Blood Earl actually directly displayed his own spiritual force field!

The coercion and magic power that far exceeded those of extraordinary blood servants exploded instantly, pressing down on Charlotte at the center of the storm.

"Puff thump thump thump..."

Under that astonishing pressure, several low-level vampires even knelt on the ground.

Even Yurst, who was also the Earl of Blood, looked solemn after feeling the terrifying power of Harris.

However, Charlotte still did not take action.

She just raised her head and glanced at Harris lightly.

It was just a calm glance.

However, Earl Harris, who met her eyes, felt as if his mental power had hit an indestructible mountain.

Under that calm gaze, he felt that the magic power he had just burst out of his control was suddenly out of control, and the power of his high-spirited bloodline suddenly seemed to be betrayed and lost control.

His transformation, his mental force field, the power of his bloodline, and his magic power were instantly released as if he had received instructions from a higher level.

Then... the Blood Earl, like a mortal, slid to the ground with a thud in a rather dramatic and comical move, and fell directly in front of Charlotte.

The low-level vampires around them looked confused.

They didn't even see what was going on.

From their perspective, they only saw the awe-inspiring and mysterious Earl roaring angrily, bursting out with unbelievable terrifying power, and then... losing all his power at once, and fell to the ground. mud.

Yurst knew what was going on.

He looked at Charlotte's back with growing awe.

True Ancestor!

This is the power of the True Ancestor!

The True Ancestor is the source of power for all vampires. The True Ancestor has absolute bloodline suppression over any vampire!

If it were placed in the past, True Ancestor Mianxia might not have been that strong in suppressing other vampires, but now, True Ancestor Mianxia's strength has been greatly restored. Obviously...she has once again become the one who is superior to all vampires. The king!

Yurst looked extremely excited.

At the same time, after the initial shock and confusion, Earl Harris gradually widened his eyes after realizing what happened.

He lay on the ground and raised his head with difficulty...

Looking at Charlotte's beautiful and cold face, her long silver hair, and her iconic golden-red pupils, Earl Harris gradually turned pale.

His lips moved slightly, his pupils dilated, and even his voice trembled:

"This... this power, you... don't... you... you are..."

Charlotte glanced at him lightly:

"Where is Bardock?"

Earl Harris opened his mouth, but did not answer.

Charlotte frowned slightly:

"Is it protected by a spirit of speech..."

she murmured.

"Forget it, I'll find it myself."

Shaking her head slightly, Charlotte looked away.

She looked around, took a deep breath, and burst out the legendary vampire aura she possessed:

"Captain Bardock, an old friend is here to visit, please come out and talk to us!"

The pressure that was even stronger than Earl Harris spread, and the low-level Vampires who had just been about to get up and run away fell to their knees on the ground.

But this time, the provocative pressure finally angered the Ness vampires who did not come forward.

"presumptuous!"

"Where did the vampire come from to provoke me in the territory of the Ness clan!"

Following the roars, powerful auras rose from each castle.

Soon, one after another, more than thirty bright red lights descended on the square in the center of the station.

They were all high-level vampires, including a Duke of Blood whose aura was as deep as the sea.

Obviously, Charlotte has really stung a "hornet's nest" this time.

As the high-level Vampires appeared, more Vampires poured out from various castles.

After a while, Charlotte and Yurst were surrounded by members of the Ness clan.

The leader of the Blood Duke is a vampire who looks quite old.

He looked gloomy and looked at Charlotte with hostility.

His eyes wandered between Yurst and Charlotte, and then he sneered:

"Your Excellency must be the envoy from Castel, right? Haha, I didn't expect that the prince behind Castel turned out to be the Kirali clan."

"Your Excellency, I don't know how you mastered the technique that can seal the power of the vampires. However, don't think that you can do whatever you want in the Ness clan with the support of gods!"

After saying that, the Duke of Blood snorted coldly, his magic power surged, and he actually planned to take action directly.

Charlotte sighed.

Her eyes quickly turned cold, and the aura on her body suddenly became high again.

The divine power of blood surged, and the vast pressure erupted like a gushing volcano. The oppressive feeling originating from the soul and blood instantly fell on every Ness vampire.

Immediately afterwards, all the Ness vampires heard a cold command that resounded in their minds:

"Kneel down!"

"Plop..."

"Plop..."

"Plop..."

"..."

A series of sounds of knees hitting the ground.

Like cutting wheat, the Ness vampires who appeared fell to the ground one after another under the irresistible fate. Even the most powerful Duke, who had just exploded in power, was unable to withstand the suffocating pressure. , also knelt directly on the ground.

After seeing all the Ness vampires kneeling down, Yurst, who was not "cared for" by Charlotte's coercion, panicked and quickly knelt down behind Charlotte.

silence.

Deathly silence.

The Vampires looked at the only standing girl in horror and horror, not even realizing what was happening.

But this time, the remaining dukes of the Ness clan... were finally completely alarmed.

One after another, powerful auras descended and appeared in the square.

Grand Elder Duke Robin, Duke Yorock, Duke Alek... the real top leaders of the Ness clan appeared one after another.

Their expressions were unprecedentedly serious, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, uniting to fight against Charlotte's coercion.

Until...a deep voice came:

"Everyone...stop it."

Hearing this voice, the dukes of the Ness clan all froze.

Charlotte also turned her head and looked at the source of the sound.

Her heart moved slightly, and she slightly weakened the released divine power. Feeling the weakened pressure, the Ness vampires also stood up with difficulty and moved to both sides.

Soon, a "knight" wearing armor appeared in Charlotte's field of vision.

Looking at the similar appearance in the time-travel memory, Charlotte was in a daze for a moment.

When the knight saw Charlotte's appearance clearly, his eyes froze slightly.

In the shocked, confused and puzzled eyes of all the Ness vampires, the "Knight" took a step forward, suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Charlotte, and bowed down directly:

"The former Free City State...the commander of the Third Army, Bardock...pays homage to His Majesty the First Ancestor..."

This is a real two-in-one! (Put your chest out!)
