Tome of Blood

Chapter 5 -5- The Codex of Blood

Lottie left after feeding Charlotte lunch.

As a priest of a church hospital, she has always been very busy.

Charlotte was the only one left in the ward.

But her keen perception told her that there was still a witcher knight standing at the door outside the ward.

That powerful aura was much greater than the pressure her grandmother put on her last night.

Obviously, although the witcher knights saved Charlotte, the only survivor, from the cross last night, they did not let go of their doubts about Charlotte.

The witcher knight outside the door is the protector and the watchman.

Even though she successfully escaped from the "grandmother" blood sacrifice, the girl's survival crisis has not completely dissipated.

However, after listening to priest Lottie's explanation just now, Charlotte fell into deep thought:

"Divine... ritual?"

Divine ritual.

This is the second time Charlotte has been exposed to this vocabulary.

The first time was during the blood sacrifice.

She clearly remembered that the quaint text that appeared in her vision referred to the blood sacrifice of the "old hag" as a divine ritual.

Not only that, she also successfully intercepted and reversed the sacrificial ceremony.

Charlotte was able to survive in the end, relying on that sudden magical ability.

This also made her imagine...

The blood sacrifice is a divine ritual, and the physical examination in the Demon Hunting Hall is also a divine ritual.

So... Is it possible for her to "intercept" the next physical examination like she did in the basement last night?

The thought made Charlotte's heart pound wildly.

She seemed to see a ray of hope!

That magical ability may be her golden finger after time travel.

It's just that she still doesn't know what this golden finger is and how to open it.

But she still remembered the name mentioned in that strange text at that time.

The item that detected the blood sacrifice and successfully intercepted it...

Or to be more precise, the blood-red book that appeared next to her when she entered that wonderful state of looking down on the earth last night.

A throbbing that originated from the heart came to my heart...

Charlotte almost blurted out:

"The Holy Book of Blood..."

The cadence is ups and downs, and the pronunciation is strange.

That is not the language of another world that Charlotte inherited in memory after traveling.

Even more awkward and vicissitudes, but it was like instinct, she read it out by herself.

And following Charlotte's silent recitation, her vision once again turned scarlet.

In the dark, a quaint book slowly emerged in her mind...

The black and red cover is trimmed with gold, and is painted with complex and mysterious patterns of thorns and roses. On it, the name Charlotte can understand the meaning is depicted in ancient and mysterious characters——

"Blood Book"

Holy Book of Blood!

Charlotte cheered up.

The book that appeared in her mind was exactly the one that appeared beside her when she entered that strange state last night!

The scriptures were full of light, and the heavy cover opened by itself.

Different from the thick appearance, this "Blood Holy Tome" seems to have been torn and divided, and most of the content has been lost.

Behind the cover, there are only two blood-red torn pages sporadically, which makes Charlotte feel very familiar...

Wait, isn't this torn page the same bloody book page that the old hag held in her hand when she sacrificed? !

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

The Countess of Castel is dead, and the bloody torn page in her hand has probably been confiscated by the witcher knight long ago.

Even if Charlotte is curious and surprised, there is currently no way to find out.

She quickly focused on the two remaining pages of the Holy Tome of Blood.

One should be the title page, and the other should be the content page.

The title page is still in good condition, and Charlotte feels a little familiar with the illustration of a towering castle that seems to have life. The following two lines of beautiful and gorgeous golden writing are very eye-catching:

"I stand in the darkness, looking up to the light that belongs to you.

- Lilith"

Charlotte couldn't help but silently read it in her heart.

The crimson radiance bloomed in an instant, and she felt as if she had established some kind of mysterious connection with the book.

Under the light, the title page turned over by itself.

The golden light kept flickering, and new lines of writing slowly emerged on the back of the title page——

[Sacred Code of Blood·Chapter of the Beginning]

【I dream of old ages and distant memories,】

[I narrate the lost myth and the original true ancestor,]

【I sing the ballad of the bloodborn and the dawn before darkness...】

[Ability Unlocking in Chapter of the Beginning——]

[Lord of the Holy Code (activated), Call of Blood (cooldown 0%), True Ancestor Liberation (seal)]

[Lord of the Holy Code: Charlotte de Castel]

[Symbol: Rose of Thorns]

[Race: Blood Race]

[Clan and lineage: Shedith (Dark Clan), Half-Elf]

【Extraordinary Rank: Attendant of Blood (Apprentice Rank)】

[Blood Resonance: Darkness (Entry), Wildness (Unmastered), Flesh and Flesh (Unmastered), Spirit (Unmastered), Observation (Unmastered)]

[Darkness: Elementary Blood Embrace (Perfect)]

[Flesh: None]

[Spirit: None]

【Observation: None】

[Descendants of Blood: Zero]

...

Strigoi... I am really a Strigoi!

Looking at the information in front of her, Charlotte was both happy and worried.

The joy is that in this different world with extraordinary power, I have really stepped into the extraordinary.

What is worrying is that this identity is 100% shady...

A lot of content that emerges Charlotte can't understand.

It can only be roughly judged that this is somewhat similar to the personal panel of the system.

"The call of blood? The liberation of the true ancestor? Is this the ability of the holy tome of blood? One is cooling down, and the other is still sealed?"

"Shedet, Dark Clan, this is the clan division of blood clan? But what the hell is half-elven blood?"

"Apprentice level... I took the power of the Countess of Castel last night, and what I obtained should be this level of extraordinary power, but it feels weaker than her."

"The five bloodline resonances should be the different development directions of the blood race."

Charlotte quickly scanned the information and analyzed the current status.

She quickly turned her attention to the one power at her disposal:

"Initial blood embrace."

With the concentration of attention, information about blood embrace also emerged in Charlotte's consciousness.

Blood embrace.

The inherent basic ability of blood race, the basic technique of blood spirit art.

The caster can transform the target into a blood servant or a lower-level blood race by creating a blood descendant through the initial embrace.

"Unfortunately, these information and capabilities may be useful in the future, but they will not help solve my current crisis."

"What I need now is not these, but the magical ability to intercept the magic ritual last night!"

Charlotte shook her head slowly, looked away from the title page, and looked at the only remaining content page.

The content page is blank with nothing written on it.

However, when Charlotte focused, lines of golden writing quickly appeared on it——

[Blood Codex God's Chapter (Damaged)]

【I will be unstoppable,】

[I will be strong and domineering,]

[I will disdain all living beings! 】

[The ability to unlock the Chapter of God——]

[Divine Countermeasure (Activation)]

[Divine Magic Countermeasure: As the supreme artifact of the blood race, the Holy Code of Blood has the ability to detect divine magic rituals within a certain range (passive), and can intercept and modify magical rituals at lower levels (active). The modification of the formula must follow the inherent mechanism of the surgery, and the nature and function of the surgery cannot be changed. 】

"This is it!"

Seeing this description, Charlotte's eyes lit up immediately.

And at this moment, a soft knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting the girl's investigation.

Accompanied by the knock on the door, there was the gentle voice of Priest Lottie:

"Miss Charlotte, Captain Kara is back, is it convenient for us to come in?"

Ask for recommendation, ask for collection, ask for monthly pass!
