Gospel of Blood

Chapter 25: Blood Calling

Charlotte had been looking forward to the Blood Calling for a long time.

To be on the safe side, she chose the location to try it out in the basement of the mansion.

This was her second time in the basement after transmigrated. The first time, she was a sacrifice who couldn't control her own life and death, but the second time, she was the lord of the entire mansion and even the Castell family. Life is so unpredictable.

The basement had obviously been carefully cleaned, empty along with some dim light, and not much different from the ordinary cellar of a mansion. No one would think that just a few days ago, there were still hundreds of living corpses here...

Lighting the candles and closing the iron door, Charlotte sat down in the center of the basement. Closing her eyes and sinking into consciousness, she once again projected that ancient book in her mind.

[Gospel of Blood - Genesis Chapter]

[Master of the Scripture (Activated), Blood Calling (Available), True Ancestor Liberation (Sealed)]

Seeing the completed charging of the Blood Calling in the Genesis Chapter, Charlotte no longer hesitated, commanding in her consciousness.

"Initiate the Blood Calling!"

Charlotte felt a strong suction force, and her consciousness suddenly began to rise rapidly...

The crimson mist enveloped the entire world, and the surrounding scenes slowly blurred and distorted like ink dripping on paper.

When everything became clear again, Charlotte found herself back in that illusory castle.

She was still sitting high on the Blood Throne. The crimson mist pervaded all around. But this time, both the castle and the throne were more solid than ever before.

Charlotte lowered her head and found that her body had also become incredibly real, completely unlike the illusory spiritual world.

Her clothing had also changed. No longer the white dress from reality, but a black and gold Gothic-style magnificent long dress, adorned with mysterious and intricate thorned rose patterns.

But that wasn't the most important thing.

Looking at the two arcs in front of her that were enough to block her vision, Charlotte almost froze in an instant.

Wow! Are they really this big?!

Almost instinctively, she stood up from the throne, and indeed, she really stood up.

Her vision seemed much higher than usual, and the weight felt much heavier. Charlotte quickly realized that something was wrong.

Her body... seemed to have suddenly grown!

A mirror... I need a mirror!

Charlotte thought so.

A magical scene appeared...

When she had this thought, the crimson mist suddenly spread in front of her, slowly transforming into a beautiful Gothic-style silver mirror.

Do thoughts become reality?

Charlotte was slightly stunned. And when she looked into the mirror, she was directly stunned.

In the mirror, it wasn't her familiar childish face, but a beautiful woman who looked mature, tall, and graceful. Possibly in her twenties, or maybe eighteen or nineteen. The exquisite and beautiful face resembled Charlotte's memory of herself, equally stunning, but more mature and mysterious.

This... seems to be the grown-up Charlotte!

But the hair and eyes were different. The waist-length hair was no longer brilliant gold but a gorgeous silver with a hint of pink, tied with a thorny rose hair accessory on the side, and a golden circular crown on top of her head. The blood-red pupils contained a golden shimmer as if containing the entire starry sky.

As Charlotte admired her "new skin," the crimson mist slowly spread in her field of vision, forming familiar words--

[We drink blood and entwine with darkness]

[We have never died, nor lived]

[We walk forever in the dark night, and everything we touch will crumble into nothingness]

[Until... the end]

[Blood Calling: As the source of all bloodbornes, the Master of the Gospel has the ability to summon entities with blood power flowing within them to the Dark Castle and sign blood contracts with them. After completing the contract, the summoned target will become the Gospel Master's blood servant, and the Master of the Gospel will become the target's blood totem, with the maximum number of blood servants being directly proportional to the restoration level of the Gospel.]

[Dark Castle (Unlocked)]

[Blood Servant (Unlocked)]

[Current maximum number of Blood Servants: 0/1]

[Great Master of the Gospel, are you ready to initiate the Blood Calling?]

Summon entities with blood power flowing within them and sign contracts with them? Does this mean... summoning other bloodborne?

Looking at the description in her field of vision, Charlotte's heart stirred. She didn't know if she understood it correctly, but regardless, since she possessed "blood power," the summoned objects must be related to bloodborne.

This made her even more excited. She had no idea how to improve her strength as a bloodborne, but if she could summon a bloodborne that could impart experience, it would be perfect.

If there was anything she felt regretful about, it was probably that the blood servant's contract was only 'available' rather than automatically signed upon summoning.

"It seems that I may have to act again."

The girl shook her head.

Slowly withdrawing her gaze, Charlotte no longer hesitated. First, she concealed her figure with the crimson mist, and then she called out.

"Begin!"

The crimson light burst forth again, spreading across the entire field of vision like an exploding supernova.

Before Charlotte's eyes, a brilliant crimson sky full of stars appeared. In the sky, countless blood-red stars flickered incessantly.

Some were faint and illusory, while others were bright and dazzling. They varied in size and distance, but without exception, they all gave Charlotte an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

The larger the star, the brighter the light, and the stronger the aura. The brightest ones were even too dazzling for Charlotte to look at closely, giving her a suffocating feeling with just a glance.

In the distance, there were even five stars resembling suns. Because their light was too bright, Charlotte shielded her eyes directly. Obviously, each of these stars represented a summonable object.

"Perhaps... I should choose a weaker one first. If the other party is too strong, even if I can successfully summon them, I will have a hard time suppressing them, let alone signing a contract."

"And this time, I don't necessarily have to sign a contract. Familiarize myself with the summoning mechanism and accumulate some experience. Currently, there is only one slot for the servant, so I must summon several times to choose the best and most suitable one."

Charlotte pondered.

She was quite self-aware. Without even being a first-tier now, even if she summoned, she needed to be cautious.

After some consideration, Charlotte chose one of the closest stars with a weaker aura among them.

"This one should be good. The aura is not too strong, but not the weakest either, perfect for the first summon as a warm-up!"

With Charlotte's selection, that star immediately emitted a brilliant light. But the next moment, she felt a strong and terrifying aura slowly descending...

...

This was a gorgeous bathroom.

In the huge marble-built bathtub, mist filled the air, and countless red rose petals floated in the water. A tall and handsome man was half-lying in the bathtub, looking relaxed and comfortable.

He had long red-colored hair and pointed ears, his left hand resting on the edge of the bathtub, while his right hand held a goblet filled with red wine, with two scantily clad beast-eared girls massaging his shoulders behind him.

He took a sip of wine elegantly and handed it to one of the beast-eared girls kneeling beside him, then smiled at the cold-faced female knight standing by the edge of the bathtub.

"Miss Kara, let me reiterate."

"The Rose Society has always been law-abiding citizens. Although we've had dealings with the Countess of Castell, we haven't been involved in the activities of the Blood Demon Cult."

"If you're here to investigate the Blood Demon Cult, I'm afraid you've got the wrong person."

The woman standing by the edge of the bathtub was none other than Kara, the captain of the Demon Hunters.

She looked at the man in the bathtub coldly and asked without expression.

"Sebastian, where are the cursed pages sold by the Countess of Castell?"

"This question is difficult for me. You should know that the Rose Society never inquires about the whereabouts of sold goods."

The man opened his mouth and leisurely swallowed the grapes peeled by the beast-eared girl for him.

"Have you seen this symbol?"

The female knight took out a piece of parchment depicting a thorned rose pattern from her bosom.

"A symbol? Haha, are you joking? Isn't this just a rose ornament from Korya?"

The man smiled. After saying that, seeing the serious expression of the female knight, he was slightly moved.

"What? Is there a problem with this pattern?"

Silver light flickered in Kara's pupils.

She didn't explain but deeply looked at the man in the bathtub, no longer speaking, and turned to leave.

"Hey hey! Aren't you going to explain? It's not a good habit to keep people guessing!"

The man waved his hand. But Kara's figure had completely disappeared.

Looking in the direction she had left, the man slowly retracted his smile. After pondering for a moment, he said to the maid beside him.

"Go and check if there have been any recent occult cases related to thorny roses."

The maid respectfully retreats.

The man picked up the refilled wine glass and took a sip, the light in his hand flashed, and a blood-colored page appeared.

"Hehe, the Rose Society never inquires about the whereabouts of sold goods, but unfortunately, the person who bought them is me."

The man muttered with a smile.

Looking at the crimson page, his gaze gradually deepened.

"Cursed page... Can you really solve my problem as the prophecy says?"

A strange drowsiness surged up. Unconsciously, he fell asleep in the bathtub.
