Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel

Every being that sets foot on the Legendary Path experiences a transformation of their spiritual power field, evolving into a domain that can interfere with reality.

However, the aura of the monster before me hadn't reached the legendary level; its domain must be a spiritual power field mutated under the blessing of Divine Power.

In other words, the monster before me was using the power of a God to display the domain strength that only a legendary being could wield!

As the dark green fog spread, the already terrifying aura of the Troll became even more active and restless, with veins spreading beneath its swollen flesh, like countless insects crawling underneath.

With a roar, it charged at Charlotte once again.

Charlotte's expression turned serious.

Facing a Troll that had unfolded its domain and borrowed the strength of a God, she needed to be more cautious.

In the blink of an eye, the two clashed.

The vibration that followed was even more fearsome than before, radiating from the two of them and turning the center of the battlefield into a forbidden area where no mortal could tread.

In Charlotte's perception, the Troll's strength had possibly tripled compared to its first assault!

Yet...

"The strength is decent, but still... not strong enough, and too slow."

Charlotte muttered to herself.

She wielded her Elf's rapier, effortlessly blocking the Troll's attacks. Her blade flashed like moonlight, leaving behind ghastly wounds on the monster's body with each flicker.

However, every time she left a wound, the surrounding dark green mist would pour back into the Troll's body, and the vicious wound would wriggle with fresh flesh, quickly healing over.

Seeing this scene, Charlotte raised an eyebrow slightly:

"So that's how it is... In addition to causing mutations, it can also help heal."

She didn't resort to Blood Divine Power but instead quickened the pace of her attacks while drawing on magic to cast several Talent Magics from Blood and Flesh Path and Wildness Path that could "enhance" and "accelerate" her.

In an instant, Charlotte's speed increased dramatically, and she seemed to turn into a series of afterimages.

At the same time, the number of wounds on the Troll's body also increased rapidly.

Soon, the speed at which it was getting wounded surpassed the speed of its healing.

With a furious roar, the dark green glow on its body became brighter, and its aura grew even fiercer.

Charlotte narrowed her eyes and no longer held back her true strength, mobilizing all her magic power.

For a moment, a suffocating pressure was released from the two of them, and their battle intensified even further.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

"Clang!"

The others could no longer discern their movements, perceiving only a dark green and a dark red streak of light colliding with each other continuously, each collision akin to a meteor smashing into the ground.

In just a few breaths, the ravaged battleground was turned upside down, barely recognizable in the wake of their fight.

The ground cracked, forests crumbled, a scene akin to the apocalypse.

The destructive power of this battle... even surpassed that of Sebastian's clash with the two Church's Blazing Suns outside Bold City!

After another collision, the two streaks of light, one green and one red, finally separated.

The green streak receded to reveal the Troll's form, though at this moment, its appearance was quite pitiful.

Gruesome wounds were spread across its massive body, the left arm even severed completely. Though the flesh was still wriggling at the stump attempting to repair the wound, the speed was clearly much slower than before.

The Troll gasped heavily, its eyes full of confusion and doubt as it looked toward Charlotte, the pale yellow pupils filled with fear and disbelief:

"Who are you... Just what are you?"

"The Mutated Domain is the strongest Divine Grace granted by our Lord, even those favored by alien gods cannot withstand its contamination, let alone mortals who have fortuitously obtained a God fragment; they are utterly incapable of resistance."

"But why... is it ineffective against you?"

Hearing the troll's words, Charlotte's gaze carried a tinge of pity.

The domain blessed by Divine Power was indeed strong, especially the one in front of her that was evidently contaminated by the nature of mutation.

Just as Divine Power can be polluted, under the governance of the Holy Royal Court, severe contamination of transcendent powers could not even be dealt with by powerful priests.

But unfortunately, this thing was useless against Charlotte.

Indeed, the opponent's Mutated Domain could contaminate many things, even erode Divine Power, mortals were simply incapable of resisting.

But who made it so that Charlotte was no longer a mortal?

Having ignited the Divine Fire, her body had long since metamorphosed into a Holy Body capable of containing Divine Power, and with the ability to contain Divine Power also came high resistance to Divine Power contamination.

In other words, what would be a poison to humans and Half-Elves, the mutated mist, couldn't even penetrate Charlotte's body.

If the so-called "God of Hatred and Deformation" personally arrived, perhaps it could trouble Charlotte, yet a mere Divine Favored borrowing Divine Power was clearly not enough.

Fighting a Divine Favored with the body of a Saint, and the Divine Favored not having a Mythical Divine Artifact, nor reaching Legendary power... It was like an adult beating a child; even without using Divine Power, it's a downgraded attack.

This fight, seemingly evenly matched, but the truth was the troll was being "toyed with" and smashed by Charlotte.

Charlotte knew this truth, and the troll finally realized it as well.

However, Charlotte didn't plan on continuing to "play" with the opponent.

The recent test had given her a further assessment of her own physical strength—

Blazing Sun... Peak!

Or more precisely, the body of a Saint (at Legendary level), with the magic power of Blazing Sun Peak.

Of course, this was only when using magic power; if she used Blood Divine Power, it would be a different story.

And Charlotte, having analyzed and traced back the principle behind the opponent's "Domain" powered by Divine Power through repeated probing, felt that the troll Knute's Domain, though shaped with the power of a God, seemed crude in its application once the principle was understood. It appeared that they knew the 'what' but not the 'why'.

She had a sense that if she applied what she had learned and understood from the recent battle, the effects might be even better.

With this thought, Charlotte looked at the shocked and uncertain troll, gently put away her Elf thin sword:

This chapter was made possible by the community at MV|LEM|PYR.

"It appears the power of the Divine Favored can also be utilized in this way, 'Troll' Knute, I must thank you for displaying such strength... it has given me new insights."

"However, your 'Mutated Domain' seems to be far from perfect; to me, it appears to have many flaws and vulnerabilities, and the use of Divine Power is quite rough."

"Fortunately, thanks to your help, I've also gained some insights and understanding of the 'Domain'. On this occasion, I invite you to evaluate it."

With that, Charlotte placed down the Elf thin sword and gently raised her left hand.

A crimson radiance bloomed from her, as her spiritual power and Blood Divine Power rapidly converged, and the next moment, red mist spread outward from her as the center.

It was the same crimson smoke as in the Dark Night Ancient Castle, but even more agile and profound.

And this time, Charlotte did not use the Blood Holy Scripture to cast it; she directly exerted it with her own power!

A terrifying pressure spread from Charlotte as the center, and in an instant, the whole world seemed to turn crimson.

Seeing the crimson smoke, feeling the heart-pounding power within it and a certain will that seemed like divine authority, the troll Knute's eyes widened, his face revealed sudden realization and terror, and he was instantly speechless:

"God... God's Domain! This is God's Domain!"

"You... You are not a mortal! You are... a God!"

Before his words fell, the crimson mist engulfed the troll; the dark green radiance around its body was almost instantaneously assimilated and devoured by the crimson mist, and the troll itself didn't even manage to let out a cry before rapidly dissolving into ashes in the eroding crimson smoke...
