Chapter 277 -276: Divine Blood (4000-word chapter, seeking monthly tickets!)_2

“Unfortunately, after another decade, as the old earl was nearing death, there was still no progress.”

“At that time, a demon called the Enchanting Monster offered deceitful words, telling the Old Earl that among the Curios he had collected, there was one with incredible power. Using it, the Old Earl could devour all the powers of the Transcendents and Curios.”

“Perhaps, with this opportunity, he could obtain power comparable to the Divine, and by then he would certainly be able to awaken Diana.”

“Maybe it was because Count Samuel Winston was too old, or maybe it was because of his daughter, he was enchanted and agreed to this choice.”

“One night, the Old Earl held a grand banquet and invited all the Transcendents, and when they all drank the poisoned wine arranged by the Old Earl and temporarily lost their powers, the Old Earl made his move, but some of the Transcendents still managed to counterattack…”

“That battle lasted for a good half of the night. With the aid of the Mysterious Curios, the Old Earl unleashed unimaginable power, but it was clearly impossible for him to kill all the Transcendents without paying a price.”

“When the sounds of battle ceased, some bold servants pushed open the doors of the banquet hall; they saw an incredibly strange battlefield: all the Transcendents, the Curios, and the Old Earl himself had disappeared.”

“At the far end of the banquet hall on a stone platform, the Old Earl’s daughter, Diana Winston, her incredibly beautiful body was also slowly dissipating.”

“When she completely vanished, a bottle of blood appeared on the stone platform, radiating an irresistible strong attraction…”

“Hu”

“Huala”

Tang Qi was out for less than a second, his fingers quickly moved, continuing to flip the pages.

Obviously, the part that would answer his doubts had arrived.

At this time, if the next page was blank, Tang Qi doubted whether his blood pressure would rise and whether he would drag Jason’s machete to find the Witch Leader and chop her down.

Fortunately, once again the light and shadow flickered, and the story continued.

“The castle’s servants, in their struggle for that bottle of blood, erupted into a truly brutal, bloody fight.”

“In the process, one of the servants accidentally shattered the bottle. Upon breaking, besides the few drops that splashed out, the rest evaporated into a thick blood cloud as soon as it hit the ground, quickly enveloping the entire castle and the surrounding area.”

“All the residents within this area mutated into monsters under the influence of the blood cloud, including those servants.”

“And the strongest among these monsters turned out to be those who were closest to it and splashed by the blood.”

“They began to slaughter and devour other residents. Even though they were all monsters, the difference in combat power was vast. This brutal carnage continued throughout the second half of the night, and most of the residents were killed, devoured. It wasn’t until dawn that they all regained their consciousness.”

“Other than the few strongest individuals, only a handful of survivors remained. They fell into panic and fear, started to weep bitterly, because in this war, not only did they kill other monsters, but those monsters included their own kin.”

“Once they regained their senses, they discovered that, in a daze, all the survivors had automatically left that area, and they soon realized that they could no longer approach it; taking a single step out would cause severe injury.”

“It was also at this time that they discovered they had each gained incredibly strong powers, even more powerful than the Transcendents invited by the old earl.”

…

“Huala,” another page was turned.

…

“There were a total of thirteen survivors. Not only did each of them possess different and strong powers, but they also had one thing in common: they all seemed to have become somewhat undying.”

“By chance, they discovered that the Enchanting Monster that had deceived the Old Earl had not died, but had escaped the Earl’s Domain before the banquet began. To understand the true events, these thirteen survivors began to hunt the Enchanting Monster.”

“The power they gained from the disaster was indeed formidable, and the Enchanting Monster was quickly captured by them. However, when questioned, the Enchanting Monster said nothing. Due to its unique form, no one could extract secrets from its mouth.”

“In the end, they executed the Enchanting Monster. Before its death, the Enchanting Monster mocked them with laughter, saying that these freaks tainted with Divine Blood were all in the grip of a terrible curse, a curse that would accompany them for a lifetime.”

“It also made a prophecy: When the Mysterious Meteor passes over Blue Star for the second time, on the night when the Purple Moon Radiance is completely devoured, Count Samuel Winston, who has used that Mysterious Curios and become a true Immortal, he shall return from Purgatory, he shall reclaim the Divine Blood, and resurrect his beloved daughter, his Diana…”

Tang Qi once again broke free and took the coffee brewed by Sally who passed it to him.

The beautiful face hidden behind the black-framed glasses almost immediately overlapped with “Diana” from the comics.

In this world, there might be people who look alike.

But Sally and Diana, it was as though they were cast from the same mold.

With a smile towards Sally, Tang Qi took a sip of the somewhat strange-tasting coffee, recalling the content he had just read.

The comic book in his hand at this moment was already more than halfway through.

Originally, it was just a thin volume, now only two or three pages were left, perhaps?

Having read up to this point, the confusion in Tang Qi’s heart had gotten some answers.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

For instance, why was Winston Town the Land of Termination?

What was the curse of the monsters about?

And the origins of the Immortal Council?

Due to the special reading experience, Tang Qi felt as though he had personally visited the Dark Age, arrived at the Earl’s Domain of that time, witnessing those scenes unfold.

“A dark fairy-tale-like story!”

After making the comment, Tang Qi turned to the next page.

“After executing the Enchanting Monster, the survivors each went their separate ways. Possessing great Extraordinary Power and being almost Undying, all thirteen of them had lives previously unimaginable. If there were no accidents, they would become the new legends.”

“Unfortunately, accidents always happen.”

“Soon the survivors discovered that although the power within them was mighty, it seemed not completely under their control. As time progressed, this power would gradually devour them, turning them into the monsters of madness like on the night of the disaster.”

“The only solution was Fertility.”

“No matter the gender, as long as there was a continuation of the bloodline, the backlash could be relieved.”

“Clearly, this was a curse.”

“But compared to the benefits they gained, extending the bloodline was not really a serious price to pay, and all thirteen began to breed without restraint, one among them almost became a Stud Horse Transcendent, spawning dozens of offspring in just twenty short years.”

“It was also because of him that the survivors quickly discovered another curse—that their own number, along with their descendants, would forever be maintained at six hundred and one.”

“Once it exceeded, the extra members would die within a certain period.”

“The first to discover the curse was that Stud Horse Transcendent; his progeny died one after another as if struck by a plague. To save their offspring, the survivors erupted into war once again, and this time, their progeny joined as well, inheriting some power, not like the Ancestors, but still powerful Transcendents.”

“The final outcome was that the survivors reached a secret agreement, strictly controlling the number of their progeny.”

“Due to their own ideologies, the few strongest who had been directly stained with blood formed the Immortal Council, while the remaining seven formed a loose alliance.”

“These thirteen were known as the Thirteen Ancestors. The Merada Witch Group, or rather the family, was one of them.”

“On the night when the Mysterious Meteor first crossed over Blue Star and caused heavy losses to the Mysterious Side, the Witch Ancestor successfully Divined, and she gave a new prophecy: When the Mysterious Meteor crosses for the second time, find the Daughter of Destiny, bring her to the Land of Termination, and all this shall end.”
