Chapter 373
“Remove the gloves from their mouths.”
Charlotte ordered Sebastian.
Sebastian respectfully complied, removing the white gloves from the mouths of Count Gaston and his son.
Charlotte set down the parchment she held, gazing down at the two men from above, her pupils shimmering with a flickering light as she voluntarily released her Majesty Skill.
In the eyes of Count Gaston and his son, the Evil God, who had descended into the mortal shell, seemed to grow taller and more mysterious in an instant, even her pleasing voice becoming much more solemn and authoritative:
“Gaston, Audis, as punishment for conspiracy and offense, you should have paid with your lives.”
“However, to me you still hold great use, and I will not let you die…”
“At least… not now.”
Upon hearing Charlotte’s words, Count Gaston’s expression flickered.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in his heart, and said:
“You… could it be that you wish for us to submit to you?”
“Although I do not know which Highness of the Blood Demons you are, I think you might have forgotten one thing—”
“We New Moon people have always been eternal enemies of the Blood Demons, and as a devout New Moon noble, even in death, we would never bow to you!”
Count Gaston’s voice was loud.
Though still trembling and fearful, he proudly raised his head.
“Evil… Evil God! The holy light is with us!”
Audis also mustered his courage and shouted.
Though his voice trembled, clearly frightened by Charlotte’s identity as an “Evil God.”
However, as a noble who had also mingled within the New Moon’s noble circles for over a year, Charlotte discerned a rather subtle implication in Gaston’s seemingly righteous tone…
That if the conditions were acceptable, he was not entirely against submitting.
However, Charlotte did not respond to Count Gaston’s words.
She merely looked towards Sebastian and commanded:
“Sebastian, get me some Transcendent blood.”
Sebastian was briefly startled but quickly responded respectfully.
He took out a glass bottle from the void, filled with the Transcendent blood that Charlotte usually consumed:
“Master, this is the blood of an Earth Dragon from the northern forests, your favorite Fire Attribute Transcendent blood. Please drink it.”
“Earth Dragon? No, choose one with a milder attribute, and make sure its tier does not exceed the Silver Moon Second Tier, um… if there’s none, your blood will also suffice.”
Sebastian: …?
Although uncertain of what Charlotte intended to do, he still obediently switched the bottle of Transcendent blood.
To satisfy Charlotte’s taste, his storage space contained many types of Transcendent blood, almost able to fulfill any request.
“Master, this is the blood of a North Ice Wolf, Starry First Tier, its attributes are much milder.”
“That will do, give it to me.”
Charlotte said.
Sebastian handed the blood-filled bottle over with both hands, then couldn’t help but ask:
“Master, aren’t you going to drink it?”
“Drink it? No, just bring it over as a ’solvent’ for dilution.”
Charlotte, while speaking, took the vial of blood.
Then, she also picked up a small knife and slit her fingertip, channeling her magic power while activating her bloodline power, and dropped a drop of essence blood that contained the power of her bloodline into the bottle.
As that single drop from Charlotte fell, the blood vial suddenly blossomed with a crimson gleam. The light flashed by, and the blood returned to looking quite ordinary.
However, in Sebastian’s perception, he distinctly sensed the change in the blood within the bottle.
Sebastian’s eyes widened almost instantly,
“This is… the scent of the Bloodline Blood, has all this transcendent blood turned into Bloodline Blood?!”
Bloodline Blood is the essence blood used by the Bloodline to create Blood Servants.
Clearly, after Charlotte added her own blood to the blood of the North Ice Wolf, it caused the entire bottle’s blood to undergo a transformation.
In other words, once other people drank this bottle of blood, they would be transformed into a Bloodline!
[Bloodline Spread]
This is an advanced ability derived from advancing the Blood Embrace Skill of the Dark Path, and also an advanced innate ability that Charlotte automatically awakened after advancing to Silver Moon.
With this ability, the Bloodline can dilute their essence blood within the blood of other Transcendents, thereby obtaining more Bloodline Blood and creating more Blood Servants.
However, the Blood Servants created in this way are distantly related to their creators in terms of bloodline, inherit weaker strength, and the creators often do not regard these created Bloodline as their descendants.
Additionally, Blood Servants created in this manner have another characteristic.
That is, it is very difficult for the Judgement Knights of the Holy Royal Court to trace the creator of the Blood Servant using bloodline power.
“Sebastian, make them drink it.”
Charlotte commanded.
Upon hearing Charlotte’s words, Count Gaston was stunned.
Being a well-informed noble, he almost instantly realized what Charlotte planned to do, and his expression changed dramatically as he struggled,
“You—turn us into Blood Demons?! No—! You can’t do this! No…!”
Blood Demons were considered vermin to be exterminated by everyone in the New Moon Kingdom, whereas historical nobles were respected everywhere they went.
Despite the Blood Demons having powerful strength and even immortal lifespans, in this era, the disadvantages of becoming a Blood Demon far outweighed the benefits.
For example, becoming a target of the Church’s hunts; becoming photophobes who couldn’t walk under sunlight; becoming monsters always careful about sinking into madness; or becoming “prisoners” constantly controlled by higher-tiered seniors…
Unless they were nobles who were terrified of death at the end of their natural lives, the vast majority of nobles simply did not want to embark on this path.
Of course, Count Gaston’s struggles were meaningless under the chains of Magic Prohibition, and his resistance received no response whatsoever.
Under Charlotte’s command, Sebastian did not hesitate, and he walked straight up to the two human nobles, pinched their noses, and poured the blood into them.
Upon swallowing, Gaston and Audis’s expressions turned to pain almost instantly, and their auras began to become chaotic.
As Transcendents, their own powers naturally resisted the intrusion of external forces.
However, this resistance was meaningless in front of the more infiltrative and aggressive Bloodline power.
As time passed, their skin grew increasingly pale, their pupils simultaneously transformed into a bloody color, sharp fangs grew from the sides of their mouths, and even the nails on their hands turned sharp…
Charlotte coldly watched their transformation, her voice emotionless:
“Transformed into a Bloodline? Don’t overestimate yourselves.”
“To become my Blood Servants, you’re not qualified enough.”
Indeed, [Bloodline Spread] did make it easier to create Blood Servants.
But more often, this ability is just used by middle to high tier Bloodline to create “rightless” Blood Servants…
