No matter what, she had a real teacher-student relationship with the two, and she could feel their respect and fondness for her.
In a sense, Lilith's predicant was ultimately due to her.
Whether out of emotion or reason, Charlotte couldn't just stand by and watch the girl die.
"I will."
She nodded, taking Lilith from Haral's arms.
Haral carefully handed her over and then anxiously waited nearby, while Charlotte invoked her divine power and once again cast healing magic.
This ti, she double-barreled her approach; while using divine power, she even directly utilized the power of her True Ancestor bloodline.
A crimson brilliance flickered as Charlotte channeled the erupting divine power and bloodline power all onto Lilith's body.
The Blood Divine Power spread, and the self-healing effect of the bloodline power also burst forth under the stimulation of divine power.
The Bloodline's blood truly was that of the undying.
Under the influence of divine power, this round of healing finally took effect.
The wounds on Lilith's body continued to heal, even the flesh inside her chest cavity began to squirm and regrow.
Still, it wasn't enough.
Charlotte sharply sensed an unusual force remaining inside Lilith, thwarting her power's further repair of the girl's body.
It was the residual divine force of Adora, the God of Hatred and Deformation.
This Mythical being's divine force was not as high-quality as Charlotte's, but it was quite strange and had a particularly strong erosion ability.
Charlotte discovered that the residual divine force had rged with Lilith's body and even infected Lilith's soul.
Like a bone-devouring ulcer, that strange divine force was preventing Charlotte's power.
If Charlotte wanted to completely erase it, she would not only wipe away the strange divine force but also erase Lilith's soul.
Realizing this, Charlotte slightly furrowed her brow.
"Teacher... how is it?"
Seeing Charlotte's expression, Haral asked with concern.
Charlotte took a deep breath and said,
"Bring that bastard over here."
Haral was confused for a mont but quickly realized who Charlotte was referring to; he turned and left, soon bringing over Adora, whose power had been sealed.
Adora's divine power was completely sealed, and at this mont, even a mortal could now look directly at them.
And having lost their divine power, their body rapidly shrank, becoming as small as a kitten, which seed rather comical.
This was intentional on Charlotte's part; shrinking the body of the imprisoned was the effect of the "Secret Contract Prisoner."
This divine art was similar to "Order Cage," associated with the Contract God that Charlotte knew, but it was clearly more advanced; it could not only imprison power and seal space but also directly compress space, changing the size of the imprisoned.
Adora, now a prisoner at her feet, had cald down and looked at Charlotte with a mixture of astonishnt and panic.
Charlotte glanced at them indifferently and commanded,
"If you don't want to die, withdraw the divine force from her."
Adora paused for a mont.
They glanced at Lilith and then back at Charlotte, their expression suddenly turning a bit strange.
After a flicker in their eyes, they spoke up,
"I can withdraw the divine force, but I'm sealed by you and can't exert my power. Release the seal, and I'll retrieve the divine force from her."
Observing Adora's sudden assertive attitude, Charlotte's eyes slightly narrowed, and her expression beca sowhat dangerous.
She knew that her concern for Lilith had been noticed by the other party.
With a cold laugh, Charlotte was about to speak but felt soone tugging at her sleeve.
She looked down to see Lilith holding the corner of her garnt.
The girl's complexion had acquired a trace of color compared to before, and her breathing was a bit faster. With her lips trembling, she weakly said,
"Tea... Teacher, don't trust His words..."
"Adora... is a fickle God... He won't keep His promises..."
"I... can't go on, I... don't want to be your burden."
With that, she gave a frail smile:
"Sorry... to disappoint you again."
After speaking, Lilith coughed a few tis and slowly closed her eyes.
Feeling the life rapidly draining from the girl's body, Charlotte felt a sinking feeling in her heart.
"Your Excellency, she's not going to make it. If you want to save her, you need to release my sealing now."
"Your Divine Power is indeed extraordinary, but my Divine Power has already fused with her, rging into her bloodline and soul."
"Besides , there is no one else in this world who can draw out the power within her."
Adora proudly declared.
Charlotte fell silent.
Seeing Charlotte lost in silence, the God of Hatred and Deformation, Adora, grew even more confident:
"Your Excellency, don't hesitate any longer. If you want to save her, you must set free."
"This is a trade, a fair trade. You get to save your student, and I promise, to no longer be an enemy to you or the Free City State."
"You're out of ti, and you have no other choices!"
Observing the incessant Adora, Charlotte coldly snorted and tossed Him to Haral:
"Make Him shut up."
Haral then picked up a stone from the ground and stuffed it into the pocket-sized monster's mouth.
Adora: ...
Suddenly, the world beca tranquil.
"A deal, no... I never intended to strike a deal with a prisoner of the steps, even without your power, I still can save my student."
Charlotte said indifferently.
After speaking, she looked at Lilith again, her expression becoming serious.
As if she had made so kind of decision, Charlotte's expression was more solemn than ever, and she commanded Haral and the others:
"Stand back."
Upon receiving the command, Haral and the others hurriedly retreated a few steps, distancing themselves from Charlotte and Lilith.
Charlotte then looked back at the unconscious Lilith.
She exhaled gently and murmured:
"Lilith, the actions I'm about to take may completely change your life, though... perhaps this is how your life was ant to be..."
"To be honest, my heart is a bit disturbed, because I don't know if I should truly do this, and I'm even slightly afraid... because I realize that maybe I am indeed making history... or perhaps, I am already a part of history..."
"But... let all these ssy thoughts go to hell. If I can't even save my own student, then even if I return to my own era, I'll still be a coward!"
"And I, Charlotte De Castel, will absolutely not be a coward!"
With those words, the power of the Bloodline surged out of Charlotte.
Her silver hair rapidly grew, quickly reaching her waist, and her eyes turned into a complete blood-red with a luminous glow.
Her aura beca dark and profound, she opened her mouth revealing two fang-like sharp teeth.
She held Lilith's body and leaned down slightly.
Then, she bit into the girl's neck.
