Tome of Blood

"Miss Mary, have you...already merged with the Balrog Valaroka?"

Seeing Mary with a calm expression, Sebastian's eyes were a little complicated.

Lottie also widened her eyes:

"Sister, you..."

Mary was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, showing a lonely smile:

"Yes."

"The devil's eye obtained by the Gorefiend Cult is actually the eye of Vala Roka. The high priest of the Gorefiend fused it with my body..."

"I... am actually the anchor of the Balrog Valaroka, and the core of the Gorefiend Grand Duke's Descending Ceremony."

"Ten years ago, the Balrog Valaroka planned from the very beginning to transform one of his eyes into the holy body of the Gorefiend Grand Duke. This is part of the plan for the Calamity of the Balrog..."

"What the Gorefiend Cult is doing now is just the remainder of the plan."

"The Blood Demon Cult planned everything, but the only thing they didn't plan was that my consciousness was not completely swallowed, but on the basis of the seal of the Balrog Valaroka, it was maintained.

own existence..."

"This is what my father left behind in the ceremony..."

"The Blood Demon Cult uses the dominance technique of the blood race to control our father's mind. They turned the father who loves the people like a son into an executioner who regards the people as tools. They want the father to kill his daughter..."

"However, they ignored Father's love for us..."

"Even though his mind is controlled, the father still regards his daughter as the most important treasure in his heart..."

"In Balrog Valaroka, between the Grand Duke of Gorefiend and his daughter, he finally chose his daughter."

"From this point of view, the moment the Gorefiend Cult chose us as the container and medium ten years ago, they have already failed..."

Saying that, Mary took a deep breath and said to Charlotte:

"Master Charlotte, please do it."

"I know that you also have the magical power to interfere with the dream world, please destroy Valaroka's dream anchor and exile it completely!"

Sebastian looked solemn:

"Miss Mary, are you serious? You know, losing the anchor point of consciousness in the dream, for a demon lord like Vala Roka, at most it is just losing the channel to invade the world, but for merging with its anchor point of consciousness For you, it means death..."

"This is not an ordinary death, but annihilation of spirit and soul. As a co-existing person, your soul will be completely purified, and even the resurrection of the undead will be impossible..."

Mary smiled and said:

"Mr. Sebastian, I have already made up my mind."

"I witnessed the horror of the Balrog Valaroka with my own eyes, and I also obtained some of its memories because of my fusion with it..."

"I know, what a dark and terrifying existence that is."

"I can see that Lottie is safe and sound, and that Lottie is saved from the control of the Gorefiend Sect. My last wish has been fulfilled."

"No! Sister! Don't do this! We must have other ways!"

Lottie said eagerly.

Mary smiled and shook her head:

"Lottie, it's time to end, you..."

Mary didn't finish her sentence.

In the middle of her speech, the whole body suddenly trembled, and the illusory figure flickered indefinitely.

At the same time, the entire temple suddenly began to shake violently, the ground cracked, and large chunks of stone and soil fell from the dome.

The devil's eye above the altar bloomed with a deep radiance, the terrifying eyeballs trembled slightly, and the squirming eyelids seemed to be opened at any time.

Seeing the change in the devil's eyes, Mary's expression changed slightly:

"It's bad... Valaroka has noticed my movements..."

"It's trying to take back all the control over the dream... Its level is too much higher than mine! I can't last long..."

"Lord Charlotte... quickly... destroy it!"

As soon as Mary finished speaking, a vicissitudes of ancient darkness slowly spread in the temple...

With the rising coercion, the eyeballs above the altar slowly opened.

The wrinkled eyelids rolled up and down, revealing a cold and indifferent pupil, which seemed to be burning with the fire of hell, deep and dark...

The moment the devil's eyes opened, Mary's trembling also stopped immediately.

Her aura also changed in an instant, and her brown eyes were also dyed golden red, and the eager expression disappeared, replaced by a kind of cold indifference.

"Sister... sister?"

Lottie looked at Mary who had "changed her temperament" in surprise.

Sebastian looked solemn:

"No, she is no longer Miss Mary..."

"She is the Balrog Valaroka!"

After hearing Sebastian's words, "Mary" cast her gaze immediately, looking down at the few people under the altar.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at the three of them with dangerous eyes, but she said nothing, as if she had no interest in communicating with the ants.

A terrifying aura bloomed all over her body, and the whole dream suddenly began to undergo earth-shaking changes.

The dilapidated temple was shattered in an instant, hot lava spewed out from the cracks in the ground, quickly engulfing everything, leaving only the altar enshrining the Devil's Eye.

In an instant, the dream world turned into a hellish lava world...

A strong smell of sulfur blows towards the face, accompanied by unbearably hot temperatures.

If you don't really know that you are in a dream, everything around you is really difficult to distinguish from reality.

Looking at the drastically changing scenery around him, and sensing the opponent's rising aura, Sebas's expression changed slightly:

"Not good! It's about to wake up! Master, let's get out of the dreamland!"

However, when he looked at Charlotte, he was suddenly taken aback.

Charlotte didn't act.

She still stood where she was, looking at "Mary" whose breath was getting more and more terrifying, and seemed to be lost in thought.

"Owner?"

Sebastian called anxiously.

Only then did Charlotte react, and said:

"Sorry, I lost my mind."

"Sebas, you said...a legend, if you transform power into divine power, how much power will it provide me?"

Sebastian: ...

"Master...Master!"

The flame elf's expression was very helpless.

In desperation, but also full of anxiety:

"Master! We have to withdraw! If Miss Mary is right, Valaroka already has all the power, and it will be a complete legend when it wakes up!"

"That's not a force we can contend with now!"

After hearing Sebastian's words, Charlotte nodded:

"You're right. Even if it's me, it might not be easy for me to fight against a legend in the real world..."

Owner?

Mr. Sebastian called Charlotte the master?

Biography... legend?

Charlotte going up against Legends?

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lottie froze.

And Charlotte's voice continued:

"However, this is not reality, but Vala Roka's dream..."

Sebastian became even more anxious:

"This is even more terrifying, this is its home field!"

"No……"

Charlotte shook her head.

She raised her head, looked at "Mary" whose breath was getting higher and higher, and suddenly said with a smile:

"Mary said that in the dream world, levels... are the source of power."

"Hierarchy? Wait...could it be you..."

Sebas's heart skipped a beat.

Charlotte narrowed her eyes and nodded slightly:

"Yes, I want to see the level that I can reach after I am completely liberated, and its level... who is higher."

Saying that, Charlotte sank into consciousness and communicated with the holy tome of blood.
