Gospel of Blood

Chapter 77: The Bewildered and Uncertain Grand Knight

"He's still alive!"

"How is that possible! His injuries! His wounds are gone!"

The Judgment Knights looked on in astonishment at the unscathed Sebastian.

But soon, they witnessed an even more astonishing scene...

Sebastian took a few steps forward and approached the still-intact seal of the Judgment Prison. After a moment of contemplation, he reached out his hand and gently touched it.

At that moment of contact, the legendary Judgment Prison, which was said to be unbreakable from within, trembled slightly and then suddenly collapsed!

As the seal collapsed, the more than ten Judgment Priests who maintained the magic were immediately hit by the backlash, their faces turning pale. Blood slowly flowed from their nostrils and mouths as they went unconscious and fell to the ground.

The Grand Knight's expression grew even more solemn.

At the moment Sebastian touched the Judgment Prison, he keenly felt the power of the magic was being absorbed by him.

This discovery greatly shocked him because he had never heard of anyone being able to absorb unleashed divine power, not even sacred believers...

Charlotte, who was secretly observing, understood what was happening.

As her blood kin, he had the power boost of Messenger of Blood, which seemed to be randomly obtained. Sebastian, who signed a contract with her, gained the power of "Divine Ritual Counter"!

Of course, Sebastian's "Divine Ritual Counter" was a weakened version.

Perhaps because he was hunted by the Holy Court when he signed the contract, and because he hated the Holy Court, his "Divine Ritual Counter" was specifically targeted at the Holy Court's power.

Furthermore, his counter was not "modification" but merely "termination".

However, although it was a weakened version, because Sebastian's strength was far greater than Charlotte's, the effect of his counter was also better!

What surprised Charlotte even more was that when Sebastian "terminated" the Judgment Prison, she felt, through her connection with him, that she had gained some of the Judgment Prison's divine power.

It was similar to when she bathed in the holy light to leech the Holy Court's divine power.

However, this indirect leeching effect was much weaker.

But even though it was much weaker, the joint effort of more than ten priests to cast the Judgment Prison caused her Blood Summoning charge, which had already been reset to zero, to rise by a considerable amount!

However, unlike when she leeched before, absorbing the power of the light this time gave Charlotte a sensation similar to when she was sucking blood...

Charlotte was somewhat astonished.

She didn't know if this sensation was something she acquired after advancing, or if it was due to unlocking the ability of True Ancestor Liberation, or if it was something that only happened after her consciousness descended onto Sebastian.

But undoubtedly, with this promotion, her body and soul seemed to undergo some kind of transformation.

It was not just a simple promotion but a deeper transformation.

Sebastian was equally excited.

The most troublesome thing about the Judgment Knights was their powerful divine magic.

As clerics, their source power had long been integrated with the power of faith, giving them stronger and more enduring combat abilities than regular knights.

However, now that he possessed the "Divine Ritual Counter" against the Holy Court, their power became a disadvantage.

Now, even though he had not fully recovered to the third-tier Blazing Sun, he was confident enough to take on the Grand Knight!

With this in mind, Sebastian raised his head and looked at the chief knight of the judgment court.

For many days, he had been on the run, and now... it was finally his turn to take action.

He simply poured the red wine from the tall cup in his hand onto the ground, elegantly threw away the cup, and then slightly raised his right hand.

Where the wine spilled, flames suddenly ignited, and a sword resembling a spirit made of flames was slowly drawn out by Sebastian.

"Step back!"

Seeing Sebastian's determined expression, the chief knight's expression became slightly solemn as he commanded the other clerics.

Although the other party's aura was far weaker than his, his spiritual perception told him that the other party was now very dangerous!

He also drew his silver sword and rushed towards the opponent.

The two sides immediately engaged in battle!

This was Charlotte's first time witnessing a battle between strong individuals after transmigration, and she could freely switch between first-person and third-person perspectives.

One side was at the third tier Blazing Sun, described as a walking disaster.

The other side, although only at the second tier Silver Moon, had once been a third tier and was able to the enemy's power.

The Grand Knight and Sebastian were like two meteors colliding with each other.

One was a golden light, and the other was a red flame.

The power of the golden light was stronger.

Every sword aura of the Grand Knight would leave terrifying marks on the ground, hundreds of meters long and several meters or even more than ten meters deep.

Even as a spectator, Charlotte could sense the terrifying power within them.

The trees in the forest were easily torn apart like fragile foam, with soil turning over, leaving a mess behind.

It was fortunate that this place was obviously not inside Borde City but outside the city.

Otherwise... just the aftermath of each collision between them could easily destroy a street.

If they kept fighting without any external intervention, they could easily destroy an entire city district!

The golden light was overwhelmingly powerful and dazzling.

In contrast, the power of the red flames was much weaker.

However, despite being much weaker, it stood firm like a rock under a torrent, standing tall against the attacks of the golden light...

The Grand Knight became more and more bewildered and uncertain as he fought.

Although Sebastian's aura was far weaker than his, whenever his third-tier Blazing Sun power struck the opponent, it would always suffer great mitigation.

Moreover, when he used divine magic, it was as if rain falling into the sea, unable to stir up any ripples...

The power of divine magic was ineffective against him!

He could restrain divine magic!

The chief knight soon discovered the clue.

And this discovery made him even more uncertain.

God be above!

When did this flame elf gain such bizarre power?

Moreover... what on earth could restrain the great divine power?

The power of divine magic had no effect, and the Grand Knight couldn't analyze the nature of Sebastian's power. He felt that the other party was like an unfathomable abyss, swallowing up all the investigative divine magic he released during the battle.

The Grand Knight's expression grew even more serious.

After another sword clash with Sebastian, he suddenly retreated, keeping his distance from him.

Sebastian's breath also became somewhat heavy.

Although the power of "Divine Magic Counter" greatly weakened the Grand Knight's attacks against him, it was still difficult for him to defeat the other party, and could only defend himself.

However, after a struggle, Sebastian also understood his current strength.

He no longer had the will to fight and was ready to withdraw from the battle.

"The Lady of the Night is still recovering her strength. It's not wise to provoke the Holy Court openly at this time."

"With the power to counteract divine magic, I haven't exposed the Lady of the Night's secret, and he can't figure out the true identity of my power..."

"It's better to retreat and find a way to escape."

Sebastian had the intention to retreat.

However, when he raised his head to look at the Grand Knight, he suddenly froze slightly.

The Grand Knight's expression was emotionless.

Unlike his previous enthusiasm, his gaze towards Sebastian was now filled with killing intent...

"Whether you have made a pact with demons in hell or reached an agreement with devils in purgatory, whatever evil power you have obtained... Anything that threatens the existence of the Holy Court must be purified!"

The Grand Knight said coldly.

After speaking, he inserted his cross-shaped silver sword into the ground, dispersing all his divine power, and slowly spread his arms.

With the Grand Knight's movement, his substantial divine power spread out from him, and a terrifying pressure immediately rose from his body!
