Tome of Blood

Chapter 498 -153- Approval of the “God of Creation”

"You, you, you...you are really the saint of the Lord of God?!"

Feeling the sacred power of the scepter being quickly suppressed and dissipated, Archpriest Campbell looked stunned.

He looked at the girl sitting on the throne in disbelief, with a wonderful expression.

Then...he saw Charlotte gently stand up from the throne.

"The Holy Light will indeed judge evil, but... He will only judge those who are the true betrayers."

The girl looked at the panicked Archpriest Campbell and said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the nobles in the hall saw the sacred scepter in the hand of Archpriest Campbell erupting with bright holy light again.

The holy light was so dazzling that the "knight" who originally rushed towards Archpriest Campbell held back his movements and quickly took a step back, as if he was afraid of being affected by the dazzling light.

Then...the nobles saw the holy light shining on Archpriest Campbell.

The white holy light shone and gradually gathered on the head of Archpriest Campbell.

In the shocked, dazed and dull eyes of the priests who followed Archbishop Campbell to attend the banquet, they saw an illusory lightsaber gradually condensing on the head of Archbishop Campbell.

Seeing the lightsaber, some nobles who knew the Holy Royal Court quite well were slightly startled and looked stunned.

The sword of judgment...!

This is exactly the effect of the legendary magic that Archpriest Campbell planned to perform with the help of the sacred scepter - Judgment of Holy Light.

However, it was not someone else who was being "judged" by the Holy Light, but Archpriest Campbell himself!

Immediately afterwards, everyone heard a girl sighing from the front:

"High Priest Campbell, the Holy Light... finds you guilty."

Archbishop Campbell was completely stunned.

He raised his head in disbelief and looked at the sword of judgment hanging above his head, his expression dull.

Of course, his dullness quickly turned into panic:

"No...I...no...I repent! I repent to the Holy Light! I shouldn't..."

However... it's too late.

The radiance of the Sword of Judgment spreads, the blazing holy fire continues to burn, and the white-golden radiance slants down, enveloping Archpriest Campbell.

The screams of the high priest were heard within the holy light, and the blazing fire of judgment quickly spread across his body.

The "flame" burned for more than ten seconds before gradually extinguishing. When the holy light dissipated, the figure of Archpriest Campbell had disappeared, and what was left on the ground was only the ashes of the flame.

Quiet.

Deadly quiet.

The Fallen Star nobles stared blankly at the place where High Priest Campbell had been standing, completely shocked by what had just happened.

Dead...dead?

The highest priest of Fallen Star Kingdom, the chief priest of the Holy Royal Court, died like this?

And...or died in the Holy Light Judgment of the Holy Royal Court?

The nobles looked in a daze, as if they had not yet recovered from all this.

They swallowed, looked away from the pile of ashes, and then looked at Charlotte, who looked calm, with an expression full of awe.

There have always been divergent opinions among the people as to whether Charlotte of Castells is considered a saint of the Holy Royal Court.

Although there are various legends and although there are comments from the chief priest of Crescent Parish, to be honest, many people, especially the nobles, are still doubtful about this.

but now……

Whether it was the exclamation of High Priest Campbell before his death or everything witnessed by the Fallen Star nobles, everything confirmed the girl's identity.

Being able to interrupt the legendary magic of the high priest-level priests by just relying on the power of "Laws", and being able to directly use the legendary-level sacred magic to judge the fallen priests, there is no doubt that... the girl is indeed truly genuine. The saint!

After realizing this, the Fallen Star nobles had different expressions.

The nobles of the parliamentary faction showed joy, the nobles of the neutral faction looked in awe, and the nobles of the Lilac faction, who mostly cooperated with the blood clan, looked full of fear.

Even Albrecht and Yurst, disguised as "knights", were no better.

Seeing that their true ancestors were able to interrupt the sacred magic that absolutely suppressed the vampires, and even directly used the divine magic of the Holy Royal Court to kill the opponent's chief priest, their expressions hidden under the armor were extremely exciting.

They are not those vampires who have never seen the prince.

As third- and fourth-generation blood descendants, they knew very well that even the princes of the major clans could only be suppressed when faced with the divine light, let alone snatched away and manipulated like the true ancestor.

Is this... the true power of the True Ancestor?

Albrecht and Yurst swallowed subconsciously, and looked at Charlotte with even more awe.

Only Ness, the black cat, who followed Charlotte to the banquet hall and sneaked onto the banquet table while everyone was talking and feasted, looked calm.

Seeing the dull expressions on everyone's faces and the awed looks of the two vampires, it yawned lazily, with an expression that said, "You have never seen the world, so why make such a fuss?"

Others may not know it, but it has personally verified it at the cost of freedom and knows the secret of the True Ancestor.

Not to mention the divine magic of the Holy Royal Court.

The Crown of the True Ancestor can counter almost all divine magic. Anyone who performs magic under the Crown of the True Ancestor is asking for trouble!

Nice judgement.

Charlotte indeed used divine counterattack to interrupt Archbishop Campbell's legendary divine spell and perform reverse manipulation.

However, what Nice didn't know was that although Charlotte looked calm now, in fact, her heart was not as calm as it seemed.

She had corrected the judgment of divine magic, but... she had not modified the judgment of the Holy Light on Archpriest Campbell.

To be honest, Charlotte originally planned to stop the magic, but when she used magic to counteract and control Archbishop Campbell's legendary magic, she suddenly had a whim and felt some kind of impulse originating from the "holy light".

Archpriest Campbell is the archpriest of the Holy Royal Court, and Charlotte never thought that the Holy Light would judge the other party.

She just changed the subject of the Holy Light's trial to the other party on a whim, and everything that happened next... was entirely decided by the Holy Light itself.

In other words, what Charlotte said was true. It was indeed the "Holy Light" that judged Archpriest Campbell guilty and directly "purified" him.

This was what surprised Charlotte.

Although the Holy Light of the Holy Royal Court has always been harsh in the judgment of "heretics", it has always been quite tolerant to the Royal Court's own believers.

Let alone a priest.

Otherwise, many fallen priests would not be able to dominate the Holy Royal Court safely all the time.

Being able to be judged by the "Holy Light" shows that Archbishop Campbell is really guilty in the eyes of the "Holy Light".

However, according to the "criminal evidence" collected by Charlotte, in addition to cooperating with the elves' blood descendants on Luna Island, Archpriest Campbell is far from being guilty of a "death penalty".

Not to mention, the will he represents behind him is the Theocracy.

However, when Charlotte's eyes fell on the pile of ashes in the hall, her eyes quickly froze slightly.

It’s not like Charlotte has never seen the Trial of Light.

In fact, when she was in Boulder, the church held judgments against heretics from time to time, and Charlotte had personally witnessed the unlucky ones who were burned to ashes by the Holy Light.

However, the pile of ashes in front of her was completely different from the ashes burned by the Holy Light Trial in Charlotte's memory. It looked paler and more finely divided, like ashes that had been completely crushed.

This ashes... are not very similar to the ashes after the Holy Light Trial in the past, but they look like the ashes left after the "deaths" of the two blood elves Alek and Kanpur.

After realizing this, Charlotte was startled by the thoughts that came to her mind:

Could it be that... Archpriest Campbell, like those blood elves, is not a real living being, but a puppet?

Thinking of this, Charlotte's expression gradually became solemn.

"Quick... look!"

"Light...this is the holy light! It is the blessing of the holy light!"

Charlotte's thoughts were interrupted by the exclamations of the nobles.

Charlotte raised her head and saw numerous white-gold photons falling from the sky.

The photons were dreamy and bright, filled with divine power, and were clearly the divine power of the Creator God.

Seeing the holy light falling like snowflakes, Albrecht and Yurst's faces turned green. They quickly took a few steps back and hid far away while everyone's eyes were focused on the holy light. open.

But Charlotte couldn't avoid it.

Without him, the place where the holy light came was nowhere else, but the top of her head, or to be more precise, the holy light was directed at her.

The snowflake-like holy light fell on the body, causing a sting like a needle. Along with the sting, there were also the simple words of the Blood Sacred Book in the field of vision:

[The "Blood Sacred Book" detects a magical ritual on the way——]

[Technical name: Sacred Favorite]

[Subject: Charlotte de Castel, the Forefather of Blood]

[Spellcaster: Cardinal Law of Creation]

[Effect of the spell: The inherent divine spell of the Cardinal of Creation Law, the supreme artifact of the Lord of Creation, bestows upon those selected beings the blessing of the Divine Grace of Creation...]

[Interception probability judgment: 100%]

【Whether to intercept? 】

Charlotte:...?

Looking at the simple words in her field of vision, even she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She read it carefully several times before realizing what it meant... Her expression became a little weird.

The magic that can be called the divine favor is naturally the magic that brings down the divine favor.

Combined with the description of the effect of the spell, it is obvious that... Charlotte has received the affirmation from the "Creation God", and only the saints, sons of God and saints given by his supreme artifact can have divine blessings.

"Holy Favorite! It's the legendary Sacred Favorite! Lord God, I can actually see the Sacred Favorite with my own eyes!"

"This...this is the affirmation of the God Lord! This is the gift of divine grace!"

"Praise the Holy One! Her Royal Highness the Saint's righteous judgment must have been appreciated and recognized by the Lord of God!"

"Long live Her Majesty the Queen! Long live Her Majesty the Saint!"

Some nobles who were part-time priests recognized the origin of the holy light. Their expressions were extremely excited, and their gazes at Charlotte became more and more fanatical.

As for the two vampires disguised as knights... they were completely stunned.

Even though he had seen a lot as a legendary blood descendant, Albrecht's eyes were dull at this moment, as if he was wondering who I am, where I am, and what I am doing.

There is no way, the True Ancestor of Blood would actually be blessed by the God of Creation. This scene is really outrageous!

Even Nice, who was stealing milk to drink at the table, spurted the milk out of his mouth and sprayed it all over the face of the waiter standing opposite.

It raised its head and stared blankly at the holy light that enveloped Charlotte, as if it had seen a ghost.

Charlotte:…

broken.

This time...

It seems that she is really going to be regarded as the saint of the God of Creation...

The holy light fell, and the rich holy power was like a flame, burning Charlotte's body and soul.

Although as a demigod, this level of "burning" would no longer hurt her, but the heart-wrenching pain remained the same.

Obviously, for ordinary people, the divine grace of creation is a blessing, but for Charlotte, who is a vampire, it is poison.

Charlotte didn't know why such a result occurred, but it was obvious that she would not be able to accept divine blessings like those mortals who receive divine grace.

She let out a breath and secretly said interception in her heart.

The next moment, the Holy Scripture of Blood bloomed with brilliance, and all the coming holy light was intercepted.

Then... he was absorbed by the Blood Sacred Scripture.

But in the eyes of everyone, it is a different scene.

The bright holy light rushed into Charlotte's body and then disappeared, while Charlotte's body bloomed with radiance.

The colorful and scattered photons lasted for half a minute. As the last photon was "absorbed" by Charlotte, the entire hall returned to normal.

The nobles in the hall stared blankly at Charlotte, their expressions numbed by the series of events.

Charlotte stood "calmly" on the spot.

The intensity of the intercepted holy light was so great that even with the protection of the Holy Book of Blood, the pain did not diminish at all. Fortunately, everything was over, and the burning and stinging sensation also disappeared.

However, although she did not "accept" the blessing of the Holy Light, all the intercepted Holy Light was absorbed by the Blood Scripture. In Charlotte's perception, she could feel the massive divine power and was being driven crazy by the Blood Scripture. Transformation.

At the same time, the Blood Sacred Scripture seemed to have gained some benefits, and some of the damaged areas seemed to have been repaired.

Of course, now is not the time to check the status of the Blood Scripture.

Charlotte took a deep breath, looked at Duke West and Viscount Cassim who were completely stunned, and ordered:

"Take them...down."

Albrecht and Yurst were stunned for a moment, then they came to their senses and quickly followed the orders respectfully.

Duke West and Viscount Cassim did not resist.

And the nobles in the hall, whether they were the parliamentary faction, the neutral faction, or the lilac faction, no longer looked at Charlotte with even a trace of disrespect or suspicion at this moment.
