Gospel of Blood-Chapter 604 : God’s Descent

“The spatial field here has been sealed off by a magical barrier, hasn’t it?”

“Not completely. We can still try, but… I need some time.”

Hearing Nice’s words, Sebastian’s expression grew serious.

He took a deep breath and gently closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his crimson eyes had taken on a blood-red hue.

Crimson flames blossomed around him, and Sebastian’s aura surged, quickly approaching the Legendary level.

He formed a series of intricate Elven rune seals with his hands and then drew a burning sword from the flames.

The moment the sword was in his hand, his aura grew even stronger, finally breaking through some invisible barrier and reaching the Legendary level.

“I’ll handle them and buy you time. You need to find a loophole in the magical barrier and summon our master! But… you must be quick. I can’t maintain this state for long!”

Sebastian said.

His eyes were blood-red, and the veins on his body bulged, making him look even more menacing.

“Damn! You’re burning your bloodline? You… you’re actually daring to do this a second time in your life? Are you out of your mind?!”

Nice’s eyes widened in shock.

“Stop talking! Get to work! If you don’t, we’re both dead!”

Sebastian shouted.

With that, he kicked Nice into a corner and then turned to face the approaching Judgment Knights alone.

“Take them down. Their lives don’t matter.”

Chief Judge Francesco coldly issued the order.

The Judgment Knights moved in unison, drawing their swords and charging at the two.

The battle erupted in an instant.

This was not an evenly matched fight.

Though Sebastian had temporarily broken through to the Legendary rank by burning his bloodline, giving him Legendary-level power, he was not yet a true Legendary who could fully wield such power.

On the other hand, the nearly hundred Judgment Knights, empowered by the magical formation, could unleash a force beyond the ordinary, capable of threatening even Legendary beings.

In less than three minutes under the onslaught of the Judgment Knights, Sebastian was covered in countless wounds. His black night robes gradually turned dark red with blood, and his flushed face paled.

Meanwhile, though more than ten Judgment Knights had been felled by Sebastian, the magical formation continued to function without a hitch.

Even further away, the Legendary Chief Judge Francesco hadn’t joined the battle, merely watching coldly from a distance.

“Nice… how much longer do you need?”

“Almost there! Stop rushing me!”

“You’d better hurry… I can’t hold on much longer!”

Sebastian grumbled.

Despite his complaints, he continued to fight on.

The Judgment Knights pressed closer, driving the two into a corner.

After Sebastian cut down the twentieth Judgment Knight, the crimson flames around him finally began to wane.

His Legendary aura plummeted, dropping from the peak of Blazing Sun to its early stages, and then down to Silver Moon.

In the end, he couldn’t even maintain the power of Silver Moon, falling back to the early stages of Starry Sky, blood streaming from his eyes, nose, mouth, and even ears.

He slowly collapsed, no longer able to stand and continue fighting.

“Sebastian!”

Nice cried out in alarm.

Soon, the remaining Judgment Knights had completely surrounded the two.

“No wonder you two, the most promising of the True Ancestor of Blood’s follower, managed to hold out so long against my Judgment Knights, killing so many of them. And you almost broke the barrier I personally set up…”

A raspy voice echoed as the Judgment Knights made way, and Chief Judge Francesco stepped forward.

He looked down at the powerless Sebastian and Nice, a hint of admiration on his old face, though it quickly turned to regret.

“Unfortunately… you bear Her mark. Though I would have liked to turn you into my Lord’s servants, to be safe, I must erase all traces of your existence.”

With that, he raised the bible in his hand once more, his voice solemn and exalted.

“God said, ‘Let there be fire, the fire that consumes all!’”

As he spoke, his fingertip blazed with brilliant light, and platinum flames ignited before him.

Francesco waved his hand, and the flames descended upon the two.

“This is the holy flame that the Creator used to slay myths. To be consumed by the God-slaying flames is an honor.”

As the white-gold flames descended upon them, Sebastian, who had slumped against the black cat form of Nice, coughed blood and regretfully closed his eyes.

“I’m sorry… Your Excellency, Sebastian… I have failed you.”

He spoke weakly.

The platinum flames were about to engulf them when suddenly, an ethereal voice echoed through the underground chamber.

“No, God did not say that.”

The platinum flames instantly dissipated as if they had never existed.

At the same time, the Chief Judge Francesco, who held the bible, turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering from the backlash of a high-level divine spell being forcibly interrupted.

But he paid no attention to his condition, instead staring in disbelief at Sebastian and Nice, his eyes widening in fear.

“No… this is impossible!”

Blinding white-gold light filled the air.

A holy-white and crimson glow intertwined, and from the void, a vast, sacred, luminous, yet heavy, and dark presence slowly descended…

In the terrified gaze of Chief Judge Francesco, the void rippled, and a slender, fair arm reached out.

The arm glowed faintly, holy and dreamlike, as if it did not belong to this world.

As the arm appeared, a murmuring hymn echoed.

Hearing the divine hymn, the weakened Nice’s body trembled.

He struggled to lift his head, and his cat eyes widened.

“A holy hymn… is this… could this be the legendary Holy Hymn unique to the Holy Court’s mythology?”

He muttered, his eyes widening as he gazed into the void.

Accompanied by the ethereal hymn of the Holy Court, a figure surrounded by holy light and crimson glow stepped out from the void.

There was no summoning rune, no visible array, as if she had always been there from the beginning.

Her beautiful silver hair fluttered with the ripple of divine power, her crimson-gold pupils glowed with alternating platinum and crimson hues, and her iconic saintly dress proclaimed her identity.

“The Saintess… no, the True Ancestor of Blood… Charlotte de Castell!”

Seeing those holy light-emitting, indifferent crimson eyes, Chief Judge Francesco’s eyes widened, and for the first time, his old face showed fear.

“Master… Sebastian has… failed you again…”

Sebastian’s voice was choked with emotion.

Hearing Sebastian’s voice, Charlotte’s icy crimson-gold eyes softened slightly.

Her expression relaxed, her crimson lips moved, and her ethereal voice turned gentle.

“No, you both did well.”

A pale light swept across the ground, and green grass and flowers bloomed. Under that light, Nice and Sebastian’s wounds healed rapidly, and Sebastian’s aura, incredibly, began to recover, quickly rising from Starry Sky to once again reach the peak of Blazing Sun…
