When the plot-skips players into the game world-Chapter 949 - 314 Tainted Blood Angel

Chapter 949: Chapter 314 Tainted Blood Angel

Aiwass previously obtained the “Wings of Freedom Offered,” which is the most crucial part of the Sasha nun set.

The most important “breath back blood” function is there…but this one falls somewhat short.

Although it too can increase healing volume, its enhancement only triggers “when this skill will cost one’s own life.”

It might be more appropriate to give it to a Blood Magus rather than a Priest. After all, not all of a Priest’s healing powers require burning one’s own blood… But Blood Magus indeed uses blood-burning simulation spells.

As a final piece of equipment for someone on dual Paths, Aleister, who is now both the Son of the Moon and holder of the power of Path of Love, can naturally use it too!

…However, there seems to be something wrong with this extraordinary equipment.

It has been tainted by some power, such that its sealing effect has been nullified—this was the effect unsealed by Aiwass when naked in front of Eternal Self, performing a ceremony for the Banquet Master. This equipment should also have a similar sealing effect, which once released allows it to become one with it.

If Aleister remembers correctly, that effect was supposed to be “when healing in any way, heals or damages the current ally/enemy target being focused on.”

After being contaminated by Alfonso’s ritual, this effect basically flipped completely, turning into a total negative effect… It’s uncertain if it can still be fixed.

If it could be successfully restored, it would no longer be two eyeballs revolving around Aleister, but instead completely fuse with Aleister’s eyes.

Just like the “Wings of Freedom Offered” fused into her lower back…

“…Huh?”

Suddenly, Aleister was taken aback.

Fused in the lower back?

In that instant, she suddenly recalled something:

Long ago, when Loki split off his “son”… which was during the battle where Aiwass killed Loki, that perfect human embryo had launched a sneak attack on Aiwass.

Initially, its strike was clearly aimed at Aiwass’s vitals.

For some unknown reason, its attack inexplicably veered to Aiwass’s lower back…

If it had directly aimed for Aiwass’s back then, the threat to Aiwass might have been even higher. But because of that strange focus on a kidney blow, Cardinal Loki completely lost the initiative.

Because the equipment was so in sync with Aiwass that he routinely forgot he was wearing it, he did not realize why that being attacked him then.

…And now, as the Son of the Moon, Aleister seems to have come to understand.

It wasn’t that the perfect human embryo misaimed, nor did Cardinal Loki intentionally target Aiwass’s lower back… but because of Sasha nun’s residual body, which had an enchanting allure to the Son of the Moon. It simply couldn’t control its actions and became infatuated to the point of tripping over.

That kind of attraction… similar to when Aleister first saw Aiwass, desperately wanting to drink his blood.

—Like a Demon enchanted by the Nurturing Skill, drooling to the point of obsession.

Aleister finally began to understand those demons controlled by the Nurturing Skill…

And perhaps because Sasha nun’s eyes had already been corrupted by the ritual, its influence on Aleister had significantly diminished. At least it was far from the nearly insane obsession Aleister had for Aiwass then… and after Aleister “obtained” it, the unease and excitement in her heart had largely calmed down.

She seemed to also understand what exactly happened to the state of that broken crystal ball.

It must have been because Alfonso could not control his inner impulses recently, unable to resist making a small crack and drinking a little of the blood-wine inside.

“…But, why is it here?”

Aleister frowned deeply.

She knew where this equipment “should” have appeared.

She had even already come into contact with the key to that dungeon – the girl codenamed “Cheese” during Aiwass’s first promotion ceremony with Isabel.

She is the last monarch of Narcissus Duchy, the direct granddaughter of “Dracula,” the Iris Flower’s Moon Princess… Lucia Caipes.

As one of the few who still believes in Eternal Self, she is among the rare Sons of the Moon who still adhere to the purest principle—drinking only “Sacrificial Blood,” meaning the blood willingly offered by humans who love her. As such, she holds a status similar to tangseng meat, being a particularly high-standard ritual sacrifice.

Or in the words of the Son of the Moon… a high-grade “fusion material.”

By fusing oneself with her, one can obtain even purer and stronger power.

And in that dungeon where she was once kidnapped, this piece of equipment was one of the rare drops!

“So his equipment was gotten from Leipzig, it makes sense…”

Aleister sighed, also quickly understanding more: “That dungeon in Daffodil Territory, having relics of Tainted Blood Angels, never featured the Son of the Moon appearing, yet it dropped the final component of Sasha’s set… The reason must be the same.”

Of course, the dungeon might have had plot hints, but initially, Aiwass focused too much on efficiency when raiding—possibly also too concerned about others’ feelings, to save their time, he never dared to stop and watch a cutscene.

During his first raiding, he skipped all the cutscenes. During blackouts, he was constantly tapping ESC, fearing being the last to skip and getting nagged at by his teammates.

Aleister closed his eyes, feeling a burning rage like strong liquor seeping through his skin, gradually understanding everything: “The so-called Tainted Blood Angel… No wonder, so that’s how it is. No wonder it is ‘Tainted’, no wonder it is a Blood Angel…”

The birth of the “Tainted Blood Angel” has only been possible from the beginning.

Or rather, all the BOSSes who created “Tainted Blood Angels” are actually using the same recipe, the same material!

That is, the remains of Sasha, the mother of the first Son of the Moon who has now been promoted to the Feast Host Apostle, left behind in the Material Realm.

“Angel” is just another term for Apostle, and Blood Angel means the Apostle of the Blood Celestial Marshal. Undoubtedly, these Apostles should appear in the Dream Realm, where they are shared power by the Blood Celestial Marshal and thus promoted.

Clearly, these individuals do not intend to seek power from the irascible Blood Celestial Marshal.

They merged their own being with the sanctified remains of Sasha, the Apostle of the holy Path of Love—Blood Celestial Marshal’s birth mother—and reborn anew. This act of “gestation and birth” can also be seen as an incredibly sacred ritual, akin to being reborn.

In other words, they could be considered as the Blood Celestial Marshal’s younger siblings.

Through this “bloodline” relationship—also a power of the Path of Love— they can directly obtain His power from the Material Realm without the Blood Celestial Marshal’s consent!

And Aiwass is all too familiar with this situation…

Without permission, even without the other party knowing, performing a ritual to directly cheat power originally given to one’s Apostles by the Celestial Marshal, thus breaking out of the common knowledge of the Material Realm.

—Isn’t this the same principle as the Sin Card!

However, compared to the openly done rituals of asking the Fallen Celestial Marshal for money, this “Tainted” ritual is a bit more conservative—because they dare not directly contact Sasha, the Blood Celestial Marshal or the Feast Host, thus they use the Mark of Sin to cover up the traces of power on the sacred bones of Sasha.

In simple terms, they are destroying the properties of this equipment, turning it into “material” that has no power but only symbolic significance!

These extraordinary equipment generally turns into purple gear because it has special connections with Apostles or even higher holy beings, and destroying the attributes means cutting off that connection as well.

Because this act is blasphemous, that’s why it’s called “Tainted Blood Angel.”

…However, according to Aiwass’ intelligence, all the “Tainted Blood Angels” have gone mad.

Perhaps because they haven’t reached the level of the Transcendence Path, they can’t withstand the tremendous pressure of the Mark of Sin; it could also be that the Blood Celestial Marshal has discovered their scheme and punished them; or because the part they merged with wasn’t the complete “Sasha” or even possibly not Sasha at all, or not the powerful part of Sasha’s body.

—For instance, that liver!

Because the sealing method is exactly the same, Aleister guesses it might also belong to Sasha!

This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.

Only Sasha’s hands, feet, eyes, skin were dispersed, holding a special holy significance. But the liver does not have this symbolism. However, to be sealed in the same manner… whose liver could it be?

And yet, even sealed for so long, it still possesses vitality.

—Should I break its seal, to directly contact it?

This thought emerged in Aleister’s mind.

Then do it!

She resolved without hesitation.

If it were Aiwass, perhaps there would be hesitation. But Aleister does not hesitate.

Moreover, Aleister realized something else—

“If I collect the Sasha set, does it mean…

“Could I use the ashes of the Son of the Moon to create a true ‘Pure Blood Angel’?”

She and these Sons of the Moon are different… because she doesn’t need to desecrate these body parts; she can just ask for permission directly from Sasha herself, with Aiwass as Pope.

If she could accomplish this, it would undoubtedly become the strongest Great Sin Beast Aleister could acquire!

“…No, that’s not right.”

Aleister closed her eyes.

—That’s not “Aleister’s,” but “Aiwass’s.”

Because…

That moment, the small raven suddenly looked towards Aleister: “Hmm…?”

She inexplicably sensed… the fleeting essence of a “Jealousy” mark from Aleister.

“…If I need the ashes of a Son of the Moon to complete all this.”

Aleister’s pupils turned into a slightly mad red: “Then is there any more suitable Son of the Moon to be used as material than me?”

Who wants to take my place?

—No one can.
