Gospel of Blood

Chapter 125: Varaloka's Node

Lottie felt like she was in a dream. A wonderful, beautiful dream. However, dreams always have a waking moment.

When the real memories awakened from the depths of her mind, she gradually regained herself.

At the same time, Charlotte, who awakened Lottie, also touched Lottie's memories, just as she had touched the remnants of those sacrificed innocent girls before.

A vast amount of memories flooded into Charlotte's mind in a very short time. She witnessed the long memories of Priest Lottie over the past ten years...

Her attempt to investigate the truth of the Flame Demon Disaster. Her struggle and confusion in the darkness. The efforts made time and time again to find and save her sister. And in the end, discovered that she had been manipulated by the Blood Demon Cult's High Priest throughout, feeling anger, confusion, and despair...

Under Charlotte's astonished gaze, Lottie's body suddenly emitted a faint halo. Her figure changed rapidly, quickly returning to her adult appearance from ten years later.

At the same time, the surrounding trees withered rapidly, and the dense, suffocating smoke gradually spread.

Along with the spreading smoke, there were the crackling sounds of burning flames, people's screams, and faint roars...

Lottie looked at her hands in confusion, gradually becoming aware.

But just as she became aware, her expression suddenly ignited with anger and urgency. However, this anger and urgency quickly turned into confusion when she saw Charlotte and Sebastian beside her.

Lottie raised her head, looking somewhat dazedly at Charlotte beside her, and her confused gaze gradually regained focus.

"Charlotte? And... Mr. Sebastian?"

"What... What's happening to me? Where am I?"

After saying this, Lottie heard a faint roar coming from the distance.

Subconsciously, she looked towards the source of the voice, only to see the entire sky seeming to be burning, with crimson clouds churning...

This familiar and terrifying scene gradually overlapped with a certain scene from her memory, and Lottie subconsciously widened her eyes.

"This... This is..."

"This is a dream related to you, from the night of the Flame Demon Disaster ten years ago."

Charlotte said.

"A dream? My dream?"

Lottie widened her eyes.

Charlotte was about to continue explaining, but suddenly felt a movement in her heart, looking towards the other side.

Then, another clear voice slowly sounded.

"Yes, it's your dream, but more precisely, it's the dream shared between you and the Flame Demon Valaroka..."

Hearing this familiar voice, Lottie subconsciously follows the gaze, only to see fireflies suddenly flying towards her, constantly condensing, and finally turning into human form.

It was a little girl wearing a white dress. It was Count Brois' eldest daughter, Marie.

Lottie saw Marie smiling and showing a joyful expression toward her.

"Lottie... We finally meet again."

"Sister?! Sister! Is it really you!"

Lottie was suddenly excited.

She almost instinctively pounced towards the other party, wanting to hug her, but passed through the girl's body...

"Sister?"

Lottie was stunned.

"Sorry... Lottie, I am no longer considered human. It's already my limit to be able to meet you in this form..."

The little girl said somewhat sadly.

Saying this, she looked at Charlotte beside her and respectfully bowed.

"Lady Charlotte, thank you for awakening Lottie, and thank you for suppressing the Flame Demon Valaroka... Allowing me to enter its dream."

Suppressing...?

Charlotte's heart moved.

She exchanged a glance with Sebastian, and Sebastian immediately understood.

"Its dream? Miss Marie, are you saying... that this dream no longer belongs to Miss Lottie?"

Sebastian asked.

"That's right, Lady Charlotte has already awakened Lottie, but the dream still exists, because the Flame Demon Valaroka maintains it."

"Valaroka's level is much higher than Lottie's. After Lottie lost control, the nature of this dream changed, and the changes in the surrounding scenery are the signs."

"Now, the dream... belongs to the Flame Demon Valaroka. It uses this to corrupt Lottie, to use Lottie as a medium to open the door to the void, and to completely break free from the seal!"

Marie said.

After saying that, she bowed to Charlotte again and earnestly pleaded.

"Lady Charlotte... Please, you must destroy this dream, you must stop the Flame Demon Valaroka's complete descent!"

"In the years of being sealed, although the Flame Demon Valaroka has been in slumber, it has never given up on entering the present world!"

"Ten years ago, on the night of the Flame Demon Disaster, although half of its power that invaded the mortal world was sealed, it also gave itself a point node."

"During its slumber, it has already connected its other half of power with the passage to the mortal world through the seal of the void. Once the seal is completely broken, after it wakes up, it will possess not half but its full power!"

"That kind of power... is definitely not something the Borde City, or even something the Borde Duchy can bear, and once it fully descended, it will definitely continue the Bloodborne Archduke's Descent Ritual!"

Hearing the girl's words, Charlotte and Sebastian's expressions gradually became solemn.

Lottie, however, felt increasingly uneasy, a sense of unease surging in her heart.

"Sister, how do you know so much about the Flame Demon Valaroka?"

Marie did not answer Lottie's question but looked earnestly at Charlotte.

Charlotte looked at her deeply.

"Miss Marie..."

"If I'm not mistaken, you should know where the Flame Demon Valaroka is in this dream, right?"

Marie nodded.

"Yes, I know, not only that... I also know that it has not fully awakened yet. Now is the best time to interrupt its descent and completely banish it to the void!"

"As long as we seal its consciousness in this dream and completely destroy its point node in the mortal world, it will lose the opportunity to step into the mortal world!"

Hearing Marie's words, Charlotte's gaze gradually became profound.

"Have you... prepared yourself?"

Marie was slightly stunned, then smiled.

"Of course..."

"My existence is for this day."

Listening to the mysterious conversation between Marie and Charlotte, Lottie's sense of unease grew stronger.

Charlotte sighed softly.

"In that case, let's go."

Marie nodded, then gently raised her hand.

As she moved, the withered trees seemed to come to life, parting to both sides, and a dark passage appeared on the ground, leading straight underground.

Seeing Marie easily intervening in the dream, Lottie's eyes widened in disbelief, and an unbelievable guess appeared in her mind.

"Sister, you..."

Marie still didn't reply to Lottie but said to Charlotte.

"Lady Charlotte, the path is open, let's go."

Charlotte didn't hesitate, followed by Sebastian, she stepped into the underground passage opened by Marie.

The group entered the constantly descending dark passage. After an unknown amount of time, they finally reached the end...

At the end of the passage was a familiar dilapidated temple, exactly the same as the underground temple where the Blood Demon Cult held their descent ritual in the real world.

In the center of the temple was a towering altar, surrounded by layers of fleshy lumps. The fleshy lumps intersected with each other, converging above the altar, and connecting to a huge and hideous eye.

That was the Demon Eye, the same as Marie's demonized body in the real world!

"Lady Charlotte, this is Valaroka's slumbering consciousness' point node."

Marie said respectfully.

Seeing that familiar demon eye, Sebastian was slightly stunned, then his expression became somewhat complicated.

"Miss Marie, have you... already merged with the Flame Demon Valaroka?"
