Pirate Kingship-Chapter 578 - 419: The Bones of Relatives, The Blood of the Beloved (6500)_4
Theresis Achebeir, of a very high Class, did not disguise herself as Princess Perta, but instead, she brought her will down upon this servant (Chapter 416).
It was similar to the [Wild Hunt Servant] that Byron had used multiple times.
The moment she was hit by Violet's soul-piercing bullet, her consciousness immediately detached from the believer's body, leaving behind nothing but her loyal Zealot, Princess Perta Kapak.
Without the suppression provided by a high Rank, the native princess, who was only Third Order, could no longer resist the journal's memory access.
Lucky the thing's still here, otherwise it would have been a big loss. In the future, I shouldn't underestimate any Fourth Order Secret Arcane Art.
Byron, unexpectedly encountering this Secret Arcane Art, was somewhat caught off guard. He finally understood the helplessness of his enemies when they faced his [Wild Hunt Servants].
He had never been taught physical sciences, nor had he learned any proper physiology lessons from childhood to adulthood. Byron was also completely clueless as to where that battle-hardened succubus had discovered such strange knowledge, or how it could be deciphered.
He could only guess that it might have something to do with stem cells, or perhaps reproductive cells?
The only relief was that the needle of the [Desire Compass] in his hand still pointed here, proving that the thing they sought was also on Princess Perta.
Taking advantage of this time, the true native princess finally completely recovered. Standing in the sea, clutching her bare, well-proportioned body, she wailed pitifully to the sky, "My lord, do not abandon me!"
In her eyes, being possessed by the object of her worship was a sign of favor. Departing from her was the greatest punishment. This woman had been trained by the succubus to nearly lose her sense of self.
Byron had no interest in her psychological problems; he simply raised his hand to signal his people to resolve the alert.
The pale blue ghost fire in his hand blazed fiercely, grabbing onto the beautiful woman's head without any mercy, and invoking the title ability of The Mad Hunt to forcibly tear out her soul.
Scenes from the native princess's memory immediately opened up to him.
Byron found out that she had secretly converted to [Mother of Creation Lilith] and the Old God's Kin, Theresis Achebeir, many years ago.
Her initial motive was quite simple. She feared death and the early passing of her youth. Although the [Son of the Sun] was strong, its mere 150 years of life was a shortcoming compared to other Mythical Creatures on different paths.
She did not dare to dream of becoming a Fifth Order [False God], but becoming a Fourth Order Night Demon seemed quite feasible.
She decisively betrayed the [Sun God] Inti, wishing to ascend to Fourth Order and gain immortality through the Night Demon path that did not conflict with any forbidden knowledge.
There was no doubt that this would shake the foundation of faith in the [Sun God]. Once exposed, no one would spare her, and she would be executed on the spot.
The princess's ex-husband suffered a horrible fate simply because he had detected some signs of her true allegiance.
As for the prerequisites needed for the Promotion Ceremony, whether it was the hands of servants or the bones of relatives, she had as many as she wanted. Killing off her many brothers and sisters was enough for her needs.
To the succubi, the Sun Empire was an excellent host body!
The current change of throne within the Empire and the struggle for power naturally became the next focus of action for the Pleasure Banquet Sisterhood.
Under the command of Theresis Achebeir, the succubi spread throughout the Four Great Suyu had all begun to take action.
Seeing this, the Decryption Rate for [Hidden: Sun Empire's Throne Succession Crisis, Historical Impact 30] in the journal rose from 30% to 42%.
Byron finally confirmed that Theresis Achebeir, who had sided with the second prince, the Playboy, in the hundred-child succession struggle, was undoubtedly one of the most powerful enemies in their competition for the throne.
But this was not the main point.
The knowledge at the deepest part of Princess Perta's memory labyrinth was the complete version of the [Bloodline Codex], taught by the Pleasure Banquet Sisterhood and leading directly to the Divine Domain!
There was also a Black Sorcery lock acting on the soul, which would self-destruct along with the soul if any outsider tried to probe it.
Even Byron, a Prince of Night Demons with access to deeper privileges, had to go to extra trouble to fully unlock it.
The ritual detailed within the [Crimson Holy Grail] here not only filled in the missing parts but also contained many more annotations than Byron had heard from the whispers of the Old Gods. It was clearly perfected by many hands:
"The one ascending must be born from rulers and the exploiting classes, regardless of generation.
The hands of loyal servants, thirteen in total. The complete parts below the forearm are needed, with the right hand preferred because power flows from bottom to top, and the Rank of the ascendant is supported by the servants.
Bones of relatives, six in all. The skull is best, though ribs also work. The death must not have occurred more than three years ago, as blood relations are your most solid anchor in the human subconscious..."
Right after, he finally saw the missing half behind the [Crimson Holy Grail].
But just at first glance, both Byron and Violet, who was spiritually connected to him, stiffened, their eyes narrowing, their bodies trembling slightly:
"The blood of a beloved!
The trust of a beloved who entrusts life has one of the strongest anchors in the world. In mysticism, it can act as one's other half.
Drain the beloved's fresh blood for your own transfusion. Requirements: subject to the difference in blood volume between men and women, at least two-thirds of the blood in one's own body must be replaced at one time. A complete replacement is preferred."
