The First Magic World War-Chapter 674 - 639, Blood Castle
Chapter 674: 639, Blood Castle Chapter 674: 639, Blood Castle Charles, having gained Transcendence through Bloody Glory and mastered the Secret Techniques of the Van Gaal Family and the Arthur Clan, surpassed the Great Philosopher of the Human Race, Protagora, in combat ability alone after reaching the Twenty Fourth Rank.
Had it not been for encountering Blood Ancestor Kahnstan of the Adonis Clan, or his naturally gifted teacher Juno, he could have dominated all of the Blood Clan.
However, during the early stages of the war, he lingered on remote battlefields, always either in Southseraph or Behemoth, never participating in the Ferlanden battlefield.
In the later stages of the war, several factions joined hands to divide the Black Phoenix, and Byron changed overnight from Fars’ sworn enemy to an ally.
Charles had hardly any encounters with the Blood Clan’s experts nor had he killed many from the Blood Clan.
Instead, he developed quite a relationship with the young talents of the Blood Clan, which caused his Bloody Glory’s reputation to not be widely celebrated.
Apart from a very few, most of the Blood Clan thought that Charles practiced Blood Clan Secret Techniques as a human; only a handful knew the truth, that he practiced Bloody Glory which suppresses the Blood Clan.
...
That’s also why Lilith and Ombella couldn’t penetrate the defenses of Blood Castle, yet Charles could easily enter.
Charles himself wasn’t aware until he stepped onto the grounds of Blood Castle, then it naturally became clear.
He was also curious, what exactly was the Blood Castle?
The gate of Blood Castle was a vivid red, made of an extraordinarily strange material, surpassing all earthly substances, completely unadorned and as smooth as a mirror!
When Charles pressed his hands onto the elaborate red gate of the Blood Castle and infused Bloody Glory into it, ancient etchings began to appear on the gate, and the knowledge he acquired at Sheffield University proved useful at this moment.
Charles softly read out the secret inscriptions hidden within the ancient markings: “My name: Montgomery Arthur, the fourth son of Pendragon Arthur.
My soul has perished, and my body has transformed into Blood Castle, which is also my divine body and carries my authority.”
“O fortunate one who steps into the Blood Castle!”
“Answer me three questions.”
“If you can answer, you will inherit everything of mine.”
“If you cannot, you will become nourishment for Blood Castle.”
“Stranger, are you prepared?”
Charles took a deep breath, infused his will and soon the first question emerged from the gate of Blood Castle: “Name one of my sisters.”
Charles was momentarily stunned, then responded: “Ombella Arthur.”
This was obviously a giveaway, as Pendragon created nineteen Descendants through the Initial Embrace, and he only knew Ombella.
The gate of Blood Castle was silent for a long while before slowly raising the second challenge: “Write down a poem that does not belong to this world.”
Charles fell into silence, uncertain whether this Evil Spirit was setting a trap or deliberately providing a backdoor.
He tried reciting a poem by Li Bai: “The toad dims the clear vastness of the skies, gnawing at this gemstone moon!”
Suddenly, the gate of Blood Castle split open, and after a long while, it posed the third grand question: “Name the most famous novelist in history to write a novel exclusively for you.”
Charles hesitated for a moment, pulled out a piece of paper from the Mirror World, wrote an extremely brief note, and then slapped it on the grand door of Blood Castle.
The bright red door collapsed with a loud bang!
Ahead, the path was clear of any obstructions.
Charles strode in, thinking to himself, “What does this mean?”
“Was the castle waiting specifically for me to come and claim it?”
In the Void Battlefield, Juno and Blood Ancestor Kahnstan stood side by side, with Kahnstan unable to help saying, “Montgomery’s three great challenges change according to different people, varying at any time.
Throughout the ages, no one has been able to solve them.
Anyone who fails to answer them gets pursued by Blood Castle.
Do you really have such confidence in your student?”
Juno shrugged his shoulders and said, “My student is no ordinary person.”
“Even if he cannot answer, together we should be able to withstand Blood Castle’s pursuit.”
“Besides, there are also those youngsters!”
Kahnstan looked distantly at Charles’s family members, and couldn’t help being speechless, as the Blood Ancestor of Adonis Clan couldn’t resist remarking, “Charles’s family is truly chaotic.”
Juno smiled slightly, not pursuing the matter further.
Holy Light Divine State Title and Emilia Vessel clashed madly against Blood Castle, with Dapocirodo, Ivonna, Omibella, Snake Woman Su Ji, Amon, Emilia, and the newly joined Lilith also joining in the battle, trying to break through the castle.
Such a lineup, against a slightly weaker Evil God, would have shattered long ago, but Blood Castle remained unmoved.
Despite being the Blood Ancestor of the Adonis Clan, Kahnstan still felt somewhat apprehensive facing this descendant hand-crafted by Pandragon, as Pandragon’s nineteen offspring, even to these Blood Ancestors, remained a mysterious existence.

Independent from any bloodsucking clans, nobody knew why the royal Blood Ancestor had created these descendants.
Juno, despite his immense wisdom, was still comparatively young among the Blood Clan and even less aware of these secrets; he only knew if they could seize Blood Castle, his student would have a great chance to compensate for his lack of strength, and even if they couldn’t, their side had many powerful beings capable of withstanding Blood Castle’s pursuit.
He was also curious about just how much potential his student truly had.
Lilith, acting for the first time with so many family members, had divine-level power since birth, and unmatched confidence in her own strength.
She didn’t hold much regard for her so-called brothers and sisters.
But when she saw the combat prowess of her “family members,” Lilith immediately felt a stronger sense of belonging to this family.
She instinctively felt that Blood Castle had something she craved, but she couldn’t break through: Blood Castle’s defenses.
She had secretly watched Omibella many times because she could sense that her “stepmother” possessed power of the same origin as hers.
As Lilith was about to make another attempt, she saw a beam of light rush out from Blood Castle, crimson like blood, filled with mystery and nobility, possessing unmatched authority, and at the same time, something seemed to be lost in her heart, leaving her feeling empty and forlorn.
Omibella, who had been striving to storm into Blood Castle, suddenly stopped fighting, her wings emitting a glowing red light, seemingly communicating with some will.
Amon smiled slightly, placed a finger on his lips, and suppressed the surging Evil Force within him, because he sensed that there was no need to continue fighting.
