Chapter 121: Flame Demon's Seal

"Miss Marie?"Charlotte looked at the little girl in front of her in surprise.

This time, even Sebastian saw her.

"Dream projection?!"

His eyelid twitched.

Dream projection?

Charlotte pondered.

Seeming to notice her expression, Sebastian hurriedly explained.

"Great Mistress, your powers have not fully recovered, so you may not be familiar with this... Dream projection is a phenomenon where some extraordinary beings use the power of sentient beings' dreams to cast illusions in reality, enabling communication with sentient beings!"

"In general, this power is commonly associated with demons!"

"And they can even lurk within the dreams of sentient beings, gradually consuming their mental world to seize their bodies."

Demons...

Charlotte thought to herself.

She looked at the little girl, activated her divine power of blood, and quickly discovered the clue. The source of her power was none other than the grotesque eye on the altar!

Wait... her true form... is that eye?

"Demon Eye... This is a Demon Eye!"

"Master, the Blood Demon Cult's High Priest actually fused a Demon Eye with that girl's body!"

"This is the sacred vessel he prepared for the Bloodborne Archduke!"

Sebastian spoke solemnly.

Sacred vessel? Count Brois' eldest daughter's body?

Charlotte was slightly stunned. She couldn't help but look at the ethereal figure of the little girl, her gaze slightly focused.

"Miss Marie... You..."

The little girl's expression dimmed.

"As Lord Sebastian said, I am no longer human..."

"But that's not important!"

"What matters is that the seal of the Flame Demon Varaloka is about to be broken!"

"Flame Demon Varaloka? Wasn't it sealed in another dimension by Count and Countess Castell?"

Sebastian frowned.

"That's right, but Count Castell only succeeded in sealing half of the Flame Demon Varaloka's power, while its other half has been lurking in the crevices of reality!"

"The crevices of reality?"

Sebastian's expression grew serious.

"Do you mean... dreams?"

"Yes... it's dreams! More precisely, it's Lottie's dream!"

"Ten years ago, when only half of Flame Demon Varaloka descended, Count Castell interrupted its descent and sealed it, but a strand of its consciousness entered Lottie's dream as a sacrifice!"

"The High Priest wanted to summon the Bloodborne Archduke through the ritual, but he didn't forget about Flame Demon Varaloka!"

Marie said anxiously.

Listening to the girl's words, Charlotte's expression became solemn.

She finally understood why the ritual hadn't ended completely in her perception.

The High Priest was indeed a cunning extraordinary being. Even though he was ambushed by Charlotte due to a lack of information, his plan for the God's Descent Ritual was not so simple.

Summoning the divine being through God's Descent Ritual was just the most direct summoning method.

Other than that, awakening the Flame Demon Varaloka was also a viable method.

It was a backup to the God's Descent Ritual, a part of the Blood Demon Cult's God's Descent plan.

Even if the God's Descent Ritual was disrupted, the awakened Flame Demon Varaloka could still continue their plan!

This... was a chain of summonings!

And it was a very cunning chain of summonings!

"Great Mistress... It seems we need to enter Lottie's dream."

Sebastian said solemnly.

Charlotte nodded slightly. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ɴovᴇlꜰirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

The damage caused by Flame Demon Varaloka was by no means small, as evidenced by the destruction of half a district during the Flame Demon Disaster ten years ago.

Since she had taken action, she had to eliminate all threats.

And as the culprit behind the death of the original body's parents, in a sense, Flame Demon Varaloka was also an enemy of this body.

Since she had inherited the Castell surname and inherited Charlotte's identity, she felt it was necessary to settle the score with this demon.

However, before entering Lottie's dream, she still had a question that needed to be answered.

She looked at the ethereal figure of the little girl and asked.

"Miss Marie... Why do you know so much about the Blood Demon Cult's summoning ritual and the power of Flame Demon Varaloka?"

Charlotte was indeed puzzled.

If her judgment was correct, the chains that had imprisoned the Demon Eye were likely left by the Blood Demon Cult, perhaps even by the High Priest himself.

Obviously, Marie had been forcibly detained by the Blood Demon Cult.

In such a situation, Charlotte did not believe that the High Priest would tell her the plan.

However, the things Marie revealed were all the deepest secrets of the Blood Demon Cult's God's Descent plan.

Vigilance was necessary.

Even at this point, she needed to understand these details.

Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Marie's expression dimmed.

"Because... I am no longer human."

Charlotte's heart stirred.

She looked at the Demon Eye surrounded by dark power on the altar, sensing the faintly familiar dark aura that was similar to what was on Lottie's body. She finally understood.

Deeply looking at her, Charlotte sighed lightly.

"I understand."

After saying that, she looked back at the unconscious Lottie, activated her divine power of blood, and said to Sebastian.

"Let's go."

"Let's go meet the most terrifying lackey under the Bloodborne Archduke's command."

Approaching the altar, Charlotte placed her right hand on Lottie's forehead.

She had summoned Sebastian into her spiritual world many times using the Gospel of Blood's power and had even entered the memories of those sacrificed girls using her divine power of blood.

And now, the method to enter Lottie's dream world was the same.

Thinking of this, Charlotte gently closed her eyes.

The crimson light radiated from her, the light of the Gospel of Blood in her consciousness shone brightly, and Charlotte's vision ascended once again...

The next moment, the world around Charlotte suddenly changed.

She found herself in a beautiful mansion.

The mansion was hosting a lively birthday banquet, with bright lights and clinking glasses.

This is... Countess Brois' mansion?

Looking at the scene, which was similar to certain memories deep in her original body's memory, Charlotte's heart stirred.

But soon, she noticed a subtle difference in her field of vision.

Her line of sight... seemed higher than usual.

Charlotte instinctively looked down, but for a moment, she couldn't see her feet.

Instead, she saw the curvature in front of her chest that would never appear under normal circumstances, and she saw herself wearing the black divine robe from the Blood Summoning.

At the same time, a red light appeared beside her, and Sebastian's figure appeared.

As soon as the flame elf appeared and saw Charlotte's appearance, it was startled and instinctively saluted.

"Lady... Lady of the Night!"

Charlotte instantly understood.

Her appearance had turned into the mature version of herself once again.
