Chapter 15: The Gift of Blood
"Now that you've made your choice, don't ask why you made that choice. - Caesar Julius Augustus, the first emperor of Byzantium
The Blood Moon still hung high above everyone's heads, but the red glow was much dimmer compared to when the battle had just begun. Outside the convoy was densely packed with the corpses of the "lost souls", and because the inquisition had made sufficient preparations, the whole team did not suffer too many casualties. All of a sudden, the entire long street became deserted, and everyone's eyes were on the other side of the long street, the Duke of the Blood Clan, Oisisno. Just after the old man named Galileo appeared, the blood-clad cardinal Goering, who was still confident just now, fled unexpectedly. Of course, the old man in black didn't stay long, and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in a flash, and the battle between the apocalypse was not something they could touch now. It's just that Oisisno is in a dilemma, he thought that as long as there is an apocalypse, everything will be foolproof, but he didn't guess that such a seemingly ordinary battle would lead to another apocalypse, and now he must pay a huge price if he wants to escape, but the blood moon is almost about to complete the summoning of the blood cup, and he hesitates in the face of such interests. But William didn't give him much time to think, and his long sword returned to the snow and swung at Oisisno's body again.
"Even so, don't try to defeat me. Oissino forced out a white bone sword in his right hand, and the white bone sword spun in front of Oisisno, and then fought directly with William.
"Now let you taste the secret method of the Blood Clan, the blood rage!" Oisisno let out a low roar, his eyes and the blood moon in the sky emitted a dazzling red light at the same time, making the people in front of him almost unable to open their eyes for a moment.
"Spiritual Speaker, Holy Purification. At this moment, the voice of another strange old man came to Fursy's ears, which seemed to contain supreme majesty and solemnity. Immediately afterwards, Francie felt that he was enveloped in a pure and warm energy, but strangely he did not feel any intimacy in this energy, and even a slight sense of resistance and disgust that did not know where it came from.
"Do you think you'll be able to undo my secret art when you come? Old man Camboret, you don't want to stay in your church, you have to come out to die. Oisisno's sarcastic words came from nowhere, and by this time everyone found that in front of the carriage stood an old man in a white robe embroidered with a twelve-winged angel, holding a silver resurrection cross in his left hand and a thick Bible in his right hand.
The old man standing in front of the carriage did not pay attention to what the Duke of Blood said, but opened the Bible in his right hand and began to bow his head and read silently: "Hallelujah, ask the Holy Spirit from God the Father to work, corrupt all the works of Satan the Devil, and stop the operation of evil spirits......
Just as the old man was reciting the prayer, the magic array on the ground, which was almost completely dimmed, actually emitted a bright light again, and the dazzling light rushed directly into the sky, and Oisisno's face in the middle of it became extremely distorted, his face was full of angry expressions, and his eyes flashed with a dangerous light, like a terrifying beast that wanted to eat people.
"You won't have a chance to step out of Constantine today!Scarlet Knights, Scarlet Knights!!" Deno's steed was the first to move, and the seven knights rushed into the magic array that emitted white light in an instant, and raised their weapons at the same time. At the same time, seven blazing red lights rose into the sky, and the seven red lights converged in mid-air, gradually conjuring up a huge blood ge, and the blade of the blood god directly locked onto Oisisno, who was suppressed in the light array.
"Do you really think that the Blood Clan is so easy to bully?! Even if you have survived on the mainland for thousands of years, your human race still does not fully understand our blood clan, so you are destined to become the blood food of the blood clan, and this day will not be far away. Blood rage, launch!" Oisisno's distorted face still had an inexplicable smile on it, even if he was besieged by so many people, he didn't feel panicked, this level of attack would not kill him, as long as this wave of attacks was resolved, the power of the blood moon that was called to awaken the "Blood Cup, Blood Drink" could be used by him again, and at that time he would be able to regain the initiative.
"There was a burning sensation in the blood in the body, and the blood was about to start burning. Furcy only felt the blood in his body boiling, as if it was about to burn under his skin, and he could even clearly feel that the violent factor contained in the blood was being infinitely magnified.
"Awakening Fearless Aura. "It's almost the same situation in everyone who was hit by the red light just now, but there are different distinctions according to each person's strength. For example, after William was blessed, he was almost not affected by the secret art of the blood clan, but because he was disturbed by the white bone sword, he couldn't have much impact on Oisisno who was in front of him. And at this moment, the ears of everyone heard Deno's firm voice as rocky again. Then the armor on Deno's body was like a pure white flame, emitting white energy. Then a flickering aura appeared on the ground where his horse was treadning. At the moment when the aura was formed, Furcy felt a peaceful surge of energy in his body, and the boiling of his blood subsided a lot.
"Scarlet Go, slash!" the red short Ge fell from mid-air, like a meteor streaking across the sky, once again counting Oisisno below the ground. The loud noise made it impossible to hear anything in Fursy's ears for a while, and in an instant gray smoke rose from the street, which gradually spread in all directions.
"I have to admit that your Inquisition is very strong, and so are the Scarlet Knights. But that's not enough, the vitality of the High Blood Clan is much stronger than you think, and I'm not one of those useless descendants who will die after being stabbed by a silver knife. This time there was no longer a long silence in the smoke, and Oisisno's icy voice came from the center of the pit. Immediately after, everyone saw that the power of the blood moon in front of him, which was like a shield, was on the verge of shattering, and he himself was covered in blood.
"As long as you can't kill me with one blow, you have to accept my own counterattack. And this time, my counterattack was filled with the true anger of a Bloodline. Oissino, who raised his right hand, which was completely naked outside his clothes, aimed his palm at the carriage where Foxy was, and a circle of red runes slowly appeared in the center of his pale palm. The red light in the runes seemed to carry a demonic temptation, and as soon as Felsey's eyes came into contact with the runes, he felt a faint murmur ringing in his ears, as if to guide him into the arms of Satan.
"He wants to forcibly summon the blood cup!" William's heart "chuckled", and once again he felt that the situation was not good, and the long sword in his hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and the next second, a blue light appeared in front of his chest.
"Combat Skill: Snowy Night Chasing. The blue light transformed into a huge half-moon-shaped sword, and slashed at Oisisno's right hand without hesitation, and at the moment when the blue sword slashed out, countless small butterfly-like swords broke away from the long sword and broke through the sky with the half-moon-shaped sword.
"It's late. Just as the sword was about to slash Oissno, his body suddenly turned into many black bats and flew around the magic array, the blue sword plowed deep marks on the ground, but it still failed to destroy all the bats.
"The Holy Spirit Heavenly Array is glorious. Archbishop Camboret, who was standing outside the circle, held up the cross in his hand, the surface of the silver cross emitted a faint white light, and at the same time, the circle in front of him began to emit a warm light like a holy light from heaven.
"Great Artifact of the Blood Clan, please accept the call from your descendants and awaken from your slumber. Let the cold light of the blood drink once again envelop the land!" The bats in the circle burned one after another because of the holy light emitted from the circle, and at this time, in the northeast corner of the circle, Oisisno's weak-sounding voice was heard, and a crumbling bat gradually transformed into his appearance in the air.
"Boy, get out of there!" At the moment when Soros opened his mouth, the carriage wrapped in black iron exploded in front of everyone's eyes, and the liquid like blood splashed on everyone's body and face, and even the angelic wings behind the white robe of the Archbishop of Cambolette were stained with this sinful red. Just above the carriage, a goblet covered with blood-red silver was spinning quietly, and the cup was still overflowing with a liquid similar to blood, which looked extremely charming.
Legend has it that Cain, the lord of the Blood Clan, made seven Blood Sacred Weapons in order to become a god: a corpse hand, a blood cup, a soul ring, a bone harp, a butcher's knife, a magic mirror, and a murder key. For the sake of these seven artifacts, Cain is said to have gone deep into hell and made some ulterior pact with Satan. The corpse hand, known as the Hand of Cain, was made from Cain's left hand, which was first cut off in battle, and is said to hide the secrets of the world, the Blood Cup, known as the Drink of Blood, is a Blood Hallows made by Cain in imitation of the Holy Grail, and is said to contain the highest mysteries in blood, and the Soul Ring is called the Fallen** The Ring, the Soul Ring, which may contain countless souls that can degenerate and gain great power, the Bone Lyre is called the Wandering String, which is rumored to be made from the bones of a sheep raised in captivity by Cain's younger brother Abel, and because it was once a tribute chosen by the gods, it can give the owner great protection, and the butcher's knife is also called the "Angel Thorn" Or the Soul Sorrow, it is said that the butcher's knife itself is a holy weapon, but Cain incarnated the devil used it to participate in the second angelic battle between Lucifer and Heaven, stained with the blood of countless angels, and the souls of those killed by the butcher's knife will be permanently imprisoned in the butcher's knife; the magic mirror is called the vision of the past, through the blood you can see the past of the blood owner, and you can also transfer the attack from the enemy to the world on the other side of the illusion mirror; the murder key is called the blood holy weapon that can be infinitely comparable to the corpse hand, this blood holy weapon is also known as the nocturnal hell apocalypse, this blood holy weapon is said to open the door to hell, and has the ability to summon fallen angelsand even be able to borrow the power of Satan and Cain at the same time.
"Where's that kid Furcy?!" Wherever William, Deno, and Soros looked, they didn't find Elsey. Until now, there are still many people who don't know that there is such a teenager in the team.
"That insignificant ant must have become a drop of blood in the blood cup, and mortals should be honored to be qualified to be tribute to the blood cup. You see, how charming the cup of blood is on this moonlit night. Although Oisisno in the magic array looked weak, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and actually laughed on the spot. The Seven Hallows of the Blood Clan have been lost for a long time, and being able to possess these holy weapons are all powerful people of the Blood Clan, even if it is the first time he has seen the Holy Weapons of the Blood Clan, thanks to the help of Lucifer of the Blood Moon.
Francie couldn't remember what had happened, the last image in front of his eyes was the circle of red runes that seemed to be spinning, and the whisper of the devil from hell in his ears that almost disoriented people's minds. But in the end, he heard in his ears the voice of a man full of vicissitudes, and that voice he had heard, on the high ground in his dream, was the voice of the back he had dreamed of many times.
"Satan and Cain, I have nothing to do with them, and it's time for you to pay the bills. ”
With an endless blue sky, ethereal white clouds, and only green stretching towards the horizon, Furcy rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not mistaken, he was not on the long street of Constantine, but in a place he had never been.
"Surprised? Strange? I think no one would be surprised or surprised when something like this happens. Suddenly, a voice came from behind Falsey, the one that puzzled him, exactly the same as his.
"You ......" Francie was about to turn around and ask something, but the voice interrupted him.
"Don't ask why, I'm not here to answer your question. In fact, I'm not very happy with how you're doing right now, and it's not the right time for you to see me. I can only tell you that this is the path you have chosen, not what I have imposed on you. Your path will be difficult, you will face countless enemies and difficulties, you will encounter problems that hit your heart, you may be enemies of everyone, will you take such a path?"
"Now that you've made your choice, don't ask why you made that choice. If this is the path I have chosen, I will continue until the road is broken or someone dies. But there is one thing I cannot agree with, I can be the enemy of the world, but I cannot do anything against a person, even if it is against my morality. A smile appeared on Furcy's face, but there was a firmness in his words that could not be refuted.
"Is this the bond I have never been able to find, I hope you will not break your word. This is the hillside where I used to stay, and this is where I died, and if you become stronger one day, I hope you can come and see me. Maybe I won't show up again after this, and I'll leave all your questions to answer for yourself, and in exchange for that, I'll leave you a gift. The voice smiled, as if laughing at Ferssey's innocence, and as if it was satisfied with Ferssey's answer. Francie never looked back at the man's face, and although there were countless doubts in his heart, he felt that his heart had gradually become a vague direction.
"The blood cup will be used by me, now I'll see how you turn the tables. Oisisno gripped the silver blood cup and sniffed the blood as greedily as an addict.
"Foolish things like you are not even qualified to go to hell, so let your whole body and blood stay in this world to atone for your foolishness. Just as Oisisno was secretly rejoicing, all they saw behind him a tall knight who seemed to be shrouded in a thick mist, and everyone could only see his shadow, not even his outline. And it was such a huge shadow that no one could see when he appeared, not even Oissino himself was aware that a cold broadsword had pierced his chest.
"How come?!" Oisisno looked in horror as the sword had come out of his body, and one second he was still immersed in the joy of getting the blood cup, and now he was about to die for no apparent reason. He tried to look back at the man who had stabbed the broadsword, but found that it was as if his whole body was frozen, and he couldn't even turn back. His vaunted ability to escape and his strength were completely frozen, and now he was like what he had just said as an insignificant ant.
Oisisno's body quickly dried up like a leaky balloon, and on the tip of the broadsword that pierced him rested a rune-like mark of blood, which was still flowing like a living thing.
"It's a blood spell made from the blood of the Bloodline!" Soros almost shouted when he recognized it. Even though he had been through many things, the preciousness of the Blood Curse almost made it impossible for it to appear in the world, but he saw it tonight.
"The Bath of Blood is the best fit for you, so that's the end of tonight's business. The figure hidden in the mist, and the flowing blood spell, seemed to retreat into the mist as the mist dissipated, leaving only a group of people full of doubts, and the blood cup that was quietly placed on the ground. When the fog had completely receded, everyone noticed a figure lying quietly on the ground covered by the fog.
"Furcy?!" William's face became a little solemn again, what happened just now was too sudden and too unbelievable. Ever since the appearance of Cardinal Goering, everything has begun to get out of the control of the Inquisition, until the scene just now has completely surprised everyone present.
The quiet blood moon still hung in the sky, and the dark red moonlight shrouded the long street, as if now was the moment when all the unknown and the conspiracy had just begun.
