It was the kind of anxiety that cos from knowing you’ve forgotten sothing important, knowing you’ve forgotten sothing you must do, yet no matter how hard you try, you couldn’t recall.
This anxiety, combined with the grief of a friend’s death, made the Black Dragon extrely irritable, ultimately leading her to join the Blood Demon Church.
Of course, as it turned out, she seed to have been deceived by the Blood Demon Church.
Because in the mories that Charlotte had accessed, the Black Dragon Odosia never did get answers from the Blood Demon Church...
...
Crimson radiance spread across the body of the Black Dragon.
The fierce demonic barbs slowly dissolved, the black and red power of corruption gradually faded away, or more precisely, that sinister power turned into the most pure Bloodline Power, which was then absorbed by Charlotte, who was possessed by Nisi.
The power of corruption was the force of Yabaton, the Blood Demon Duke, and all Bloodline powers stemd from the sa source. For Charlotte, who had mastered the Blood Holy Scripture, absorbing these powers was troubleso, but not impossible.
What surprised Charlotte a bit was that she seed to be quite compatible with this Black Dragon. Perhaps it was an instinctive awareness that her power was helping herself; Charlotte felt little resistance during the absorption process, which proceeded rather smoothly.
As the power was absorbed, the Black Dragon gradually returned to normal. When the "polluted" magic power was completely removed from her, a strange scene unfolded: the mountain-like Black Dragon suddenly began to shrink, eventually turning into a naked black-haired girl.
At this sight, Charlotte stood in stunned silence.
Sebastian, on the other hand, reacted very quickly, almost instantly taking out a black robe from his storage space and covering the other’s body with it.
When Charlotte looked at him with a touch of surprise, he smiled awkwardly,
"Sorry, great master, I’m used to it."
Charlotte: ...?
Charlotte did not delve into what this elf, who had long mingled among humans, was accustod to, but instead looked back at the girl the Black Dragon had beco.
The girl’s breathing was now steady, clearly having fallen asleep from exhaustion of magic power.
This made Charlotte muse to herself:
Do giant dragons turn into human form when they exhaust their magic power?
"Strange, she’s exhausted her magic power, how did she turn into a human? Could her true form be human?"
On the other hand, Yulster couldn’t help raising the sa question.
Human?
A thought flickered in Charlotte’s mind.
She stepped forward and sensed the aura of the black-haired girl again. After so investigation, she found that apart from the human-like outward appearance, there was no connection whatsoever to humans in her fundantal being.
Charlotte was confident she hadn’t made a mistake in her inspection—after all, the Bloodline’s five resonances included abilities in transformation magic, and dragon transformation was one of the well-known techniques among them.
The Bloodline’s Transformation Technique required understanding and mastery of the blood essence of the object of transformation.
Charlotte had not spared in drinking the transcendent blood of the sub-dragon species to lay her foundation. In her perception, Odosia’s blood was purer and more delicious than that of any sub-dragon species she had consud before, and it definitely wasn’t so human with transformation magic.
If there had to be an explanation, then there was likely only one reason—although she was a Black Dragon, her form had been fixed in the shape of a human.
This Black Dragon nad Odosia probably had a not-so-simple origin...
Charlotte naturally reached this conclusion.
It definitely couldn’t be simple.
Charlotte had already taken the opportunity to inspect her, and even when using Divine Power, she hadn’t discovered any tampering in her brain or consciousness, aning her mind appeared very normal.
However, after accessing the mories, Charlotte knew that the Black Dragon actually had no mories from more than a decade ago.
She had amnesia, and it was quite peculiar, as if her mories had vanished into thin air.
Charlotte was quite curious about this.
It was known that forgetting, altering, or erasing mories would always leave traces, and the Bloodline, skilled in the Spirit Path, was particularly sensitive to this.
Charlotte was no longer the novice she had been; she had also studied the Spirit Path deeply and had mastered the magic of Spirit Control and mory modification.
But even with the help of the Blood Divine Power, she couldn’t find the slightest trace in her consciousness.
Her mories seed too normal.
Yet, being too normal was abnormal in itself.
The only explanation Charlotte could think of was the involvent of a more powerful force, powerful enough that even she, with her grasp of the Blood Holy Scripture, could not comprehend it, affecting everything.
She naturally thought of the elusive female voice she had heard while accessing Odosia’s mories...
"Is it the owner of that voice?"
"That voice sounds so familiar, yet I have no recollection of where I might have heard it..."
Charlotte mused thoughtfully.
The female voice was ethereal, fleeting, and seed to carry so strange power with it.
As ti passed, Charlotte found that her mories of those whispers were also rapidly fading...
She hastily employed the Blood Divine Power to bolster her recollection, barely managing to prevent total loss, yet she could no longer rember the original intonation of the voice, only that it sounded very familiar.
Unsuccessful in her considerations, Charlotte temporarily ceased her worrying. She glanced at the black-haired girl who had fallen into a deep sleep, pondered for a mont, and said to Sebastian,
"Send her back to North Port."
Upon hearing Charlotte’s words, Sebastian respectfully complied, while Yulster couldn’t help but pause for a second.
A Black Dragon is a Black Dragon, after all, even if it’s gravely injured and unconscious or has transford into a human form.
If his judgnt was correct, this delicate-looking girl before him was likely the sa malevolent Black Dragon that, years ago, had descended upon Eastern Yonette and slaughtered an entire city, known as the "Dark Catastrophe."
In his view, he couldn’t understand why they would bring such a ticking ti bomb into a big city like North Port, and it seed they didn’t even plan to restrict her powers.
Of course, this thought vanished in an instant.
Because the Ancestor, who had undergone Divine Descent, had spoken, and since the Ancestor had said so, it proved that even if this Black Dragon was unrestrained in her powers, she wouldn’t be able to stir up much trouble in North Port.
Wait...
Not stir up much trouble?
Seemingly making a connection, Yulster felt a jump in his heart.
He couldn’t help but look toward the Black Dragon, who was emanating a hazy radiance, his eyes filled with astonishnt and uncertainty:
Could it be... that the true form of the Ancestor is now in North Port?!
"Yulster, I am very interested in the Black Dragon’s attack on the Black Land in Eastern Yonette from over a decade ago. After we return, compile a report for ,"
Charlotte instructed.
His train of thought interrupted, Yulster ca back to his senses, paused for a mont, then hastily and respectfully complied.
At that mont, he suddenly realized that the resurrected Ancestor didn’t seem as insubstantial and mystifying as he had imagined.
So it turns out... even the Ancestor has interests and unknowns...
Yulster thought to himself.
Of course, such thoughts aside, he couldn’t forget the mont the Ancestor’s presence had descended upon his mind, the grandeur and might it exuded.
That power, which made his spirit tremble, was unforgettable.
By this ti, Charlotte had also sensed that her ti using the Blood Holy Scripture for Divine Possession was nearly up.
The purpose of this Divine Descent had been achieved, and it was ti to return, to avoid unnecessary depletion.
Blood Divine Power was hard to replenish; she had to conserve it.
With this thought, she looked around and said to Sebastian,
"Peace has been restored to the Northern Land. Once the affairs here are settled, let’s return as quickly as possible."
"As you command, great master,"
Sebastian responded with reverence.
After speaking, Charlotte concluded this round of possession and dispelled the radiance.
With the scarlet light fading away, the Black Cat Nisi fell to the ground with a thud and likewise entered a deep slumber.
Sebastian and Yulster both simultaneously paid their respects towards the place where the glow had dissipated:
"Farewell, great master (Ancestor)!"
————
Sorry, the update is late; I was very tired last night and accidentally fell asleep.
These Chapters indeed lack sufficient buildup and didn’t et the expectations of the outline, primarily because the updates were lacking for a while, and to speed up the pace, I omitted a piece about the Black Dragon’s plot.
