Tome of Blood - Chapter 216

  Chapter 216-66-Black Dragon and Mysterious Mage

   “Sebas? He actually started calling me. Could it be that he has made some important discoveries?”

  Charlotte’s heart moved slightly.

  After thinking for a while, she got up and closed the door of the study, and asked the maid not to disturb her for the time being, then sank into consciousness, and communicated with the holy scripture of blood in the ocean of consciousness.

  The surrounding scene changed again, and Charlotte once again returned to the spiritual world of Dark Night Castle.

  She summoned the crimson sea of ​​stars that represented the blood race, pointed slightly at the twinkling star representing Sebas, and a ray of consciousness passed through the void and projected where Sebas was.

  …

   This is a dilapidated old castle standing on a coastal cliff.

  The tall stone walls have long been dilapidated, but the former glory is still vaguely discernible.

  At this moment, a fierce battle is taking place outside the castle.

   Castel soldiers in chain mail hid on the broken battlements of the castle. They looked at the sky in horror, and their hands holding bows and arrows couldn’t help shaking.

   Above the sky, a ferocious black dragon with a wingspan of more than fifteen meters was fighting fiercely with Sebas.

  The furious roar of the dragon, wrapped in the astonishing power of the dragon, hit the hearts of every soldier like a tsunami. Many people had already foamed at the mouth and passed out under the terrifying coercion.

  Within a radius of one kilometer from the center of the ancient castle, there is already a mess. The dragon’s breath has corroded the forest and the coast into a jeopardy, and terrifying claw marks and sword marks more than ten meters long can be seen everywhere.

  Sebas was floating in mid-air, behind him was a ring of floating magic power, holding a black flame sword.

  He looked quite embarrassed, but after all, he managed to protect the Castel soldiers in the castle behind him, preventing the black dragon’s breath from hurting everyone.

  On the dragon’s back of the black dragon sat a mage in black wearing a devil’s eye mask. He looked down at Sebastian and said with some surprise:

   “As expected of the Crimson Flame Blade, which was once famous in the Black Land of East Unet, even if the mental position is broken, it still has the power to contend with the dragon…”

   “It’s just, no matter how strong your stamina is, how long can you last under Longwei? I really don’t understand. Why are you standing in front of these humans when you can retreat completely?”

   “Or, you really gave up your freedom and became Castel’s loyal dog as in the legend?”

  After hearing what the black-clothed mage said, Sebastian grinned disdainfully.

  He gracefully wiped away the blood spurted from his mouth just after being hit hard by the giant dragon, and then said lightly:

   “I have decided to dedicate my loyalty to Castel, and I will naturally do my job well. How can my ambition and pursuit be understood by short-sighted people like you?”

   As he spoke, he took a deep look at the mage in black:

   “Your Excellency, even though you are an elf, you are with the notorious Blood Demon Cult even among blood descendants…”

   “Oh no, you’re not even an elf anymore. I feel a familiar aura in you. You should be an elf descendant of the Nas clan on Luna Island, right?”

   “Betrayed the elves, and betrayed your own clan… Are you really not afraid that Luna Island and Ness will join hands to hunt you down?”

  After hearing Sebastian’s words, the scarlet gaze under the mask of the black mage changed slightly.

  He almost subconsciously covered the sharp ears under his mask, and then said in a bit of frustration:

   “Shut up! You trash who was hunted down by the White Witch halfway across the continent!”

   “Eodocia! Kill him!”

  The black-clothed mage roared angrily, and the black magic book in his hand flashed red.

  The ferocious black dragon roared, waved its wings and rushed towards Sebas.

  Looking at the black dragon charging towards him, Sebastian smiled slightly.

  I saw him give up the defense, directly raised the flaming sword in his hand, and chanted in tune:

   “Prisoner Flame of Death!”

  Black flames spread from the blade and turned into a huge cage, enveloping Sebas and the black dragon together.

   “The Dark Knight’s death confinement? Hey… Sebastian, it seems that you got a lot of good things during your adventures in the dark land of East Unite.”

   “It’s just that if you think you want to imprison Eudocia with an incomplete third-level imprisonment magic, that’s really ridiculous.”

  The mage in black sneered.

   However, when he saw Sebas’s half-smile expression, he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill.

   At the same time, Sebas’s body suddenly bloomed, and a powerful breath suddenly rose from him…

  Feeling the terrifying aura, the eyes of the mage in black suddenly changed, full of disbelief:

   “You… have recovered your strength?!”

   “Not good! Eudocia quickly retreat!”

  He shouted, the magic book in his hand shone brightly, and ordered the swooping black dragon to stop attacking.

   Blood-red brilliance bloomed all over the black dragon.

  The black dragon let out an angry roar, and abruptly stopped his movements.

  The mage in black did not hesitate, and immediately took out a scroll from his arms and tore it up.

  Bright brilliance bloomed under the black dragon’s body, turning into a huge circular magic circle.

  The figures of the black dragon and the mage gradually blurred, turning into brilliance and disappearing before Sebastian’s flame cage closed.

  Seeing the fading magical brilliance, a trace of regret flashed across Sebas’s face.

   “Heh…you run pretty fast.”

  He smiled and slowly landed from the air.

  As soon as he landed on the ground, he shook slightly and almost fell directly.

   “Master Sebastian!”

   Seeing this, the Castel guards in the castle rushed out one after another, and the captain of the guard at the head even stretched out his hand to help.

   “It’s okay, the consumption is a bit high, please count and see how many casualties were just now.”

  Sebas shook his head, prevented the captain of the guard from helping him, and then entered the inner hall of the castle alone.

   “I need to meditate and take a break, please don’t bother me for now.”

  He said to the crowd.

“yes!”

  The guards saluted one after another, with a very respectful attitude.

   And Sebastian closed the door of the inner hall of the castle with his backhand.

  The moment the door closed, crimson mist spread around.

  Sebas’s heart moved, and he slowly raised his head.

  I saw that everything around him had changed, it was no longer a dilapidated old castle, but the dark night castle he was familiar with.

   Immediately afterwards, Charlotte’s clear and pleasant voice came from the front:

   “Sebas, your mission is surprisingly wonderful.”

  Sebas raised his head, only to see that the existence he was loyal to was still sitting high on the mysterious and majestic Throne of Blood.

   It may be because both parties are familiar with each other, and her form is not “Lady of the Night”, but still the “Lord Earl” he sees every day.

   “Master, Sebas has let you down and failed to keep them.”

  Sebas knelt down on one knee, respectfully speaking.

   “It’s okay, they run fast, and they will have a chance in the future.”

   Charlotte shook her head and said.

   After finishing speaking, she glanced at the other party again:

   “It’s just that, don’t be so aggressive in the future, and use your own life to imprison the enemy. Even if I accept your call and successfully descend the power, it will be too dangerous for you.”

   “Remember, you are already my dependent, and I need you to live and do good things for me, instead of taking radical risks.”

  After hearing what Charlotte said, Sebastian was moved and bowed his head respectfully:

   “Sebas, I understand.”

   Seeing the other party like this, Charlotte also heaved a sigh of relief.

  She was really taken aback just now. When the projection came over, she directly bumped into the black dragon’s face. Fortunately, the opponent retreated in time. If she really rushed over, she could only forcefully use the power liberated by the true ancestor.

   It’s not like it was in Boulder City.

  At that time, she was not far from Sebastian, and it didn’t consume much to borrow Sebastian’s body for divine power projection.

  And now…Charlotte visually estimated that Sebastian should be in the border area in the northeast of the Earl’s Land, which is not too close to North Port, and it consumes a lot of divine power when projected.

   Not to mention that even though she just glanced at the black dragon and the mage with the help of Sebastian’s vision, she could vaguely feel that the other party was not that simple.

  Leaving aside that mage, his strength should not be as strong as Sebastian, but the black dragon is definitely much stronger than Sebastian.

   I don’t know how Sebastian survived, or…the opponent didn’t use his full strength?

   “The black dragon just now…has a familiar aura, is it the giant dragon that stayed in the silver mine?”

   Charlotte asked.

   “I’m afraid… yes, the dragon’s power on it is similar to that of Ji Kede, but it is more pure than the dragon’s power on the blood of Valadet. I’m afraid it is the source of the opponent’s dragon power.”

  Sebas is respectful and authentic.

  Charlotte nodded slightly:

   “Eodocia… sounds like a female name.”

  Sebas nodded:

   “It is a relatively common name among giant dragons. As you can see, it should be a female dragon.”

  Charlotte nodded and asked:

   “Tell me, what did you find in this investigation?”

  After hearing what Charlotte said, Sebastian had a strange expression:

   “Master, it’s a bit strange to say that when I came here according to your guidance, all the vampires in the castle had already withdrawn, leaving only an empty fortress.”

   “We followed the traces they left behind, and found traces of some blood descendants of the Ness clan in the nearest city, but… they don’t seem to have any intention of entangled with us.”

   “Not only that, we even got a list of nobles from a nearby city who were recruited by them from a Ness blood clan. The other party showed favor to us before leaving, and even left a lot of refined mithril…”

   “Master, I suddenly don’t understand what the **** the Ness clan is doing.”

  Charlotte:  …

  She did know why, maybe it wasn’t because Duke Yorok’s order was successfully issued, and Earl Lachlan’s blood clan also received the news and began to retreat in an orderly manner.

   I have to say, this Blood Duke of the Ness clan… is really interesting.
