Chapter 752: Fleeting (asking for monthly ticket)
"I have detonated the Rage Brand four times as you requested."
Alphonse took the initiative to report his progress: "The corpse has responded!"
"very good."
Ms. Kingsford smiled softly.
She gently touched Alphonse's cheek and pressed her fingers against his neck.
"By the way," she suddenly said, "Do you know what happened to Earl Dawn?"
"...Your Excellency?"
Alphonse was a little confused. "What's wrong? Is it about him collecting the souls of young girls? I know about that..."
"Ah, that's all right."
Anna kissed his cheek and said reluctantly, "Do you plan to... leave Leipzig? Or rather, leave Xingti?"
"That won't do! Absolutely not!"
Alphonse shuddered and immediately refused without hesitation, "Father told us to stay home for the time being! He can summon us at any time if needed! Besides, if we leave Star Antimony, we will be treated as traitors..."
"I see..."
Anna sighed: "That's a pity."
"……What?"
"nothing."
Anna kissed Alphonse again and whispered in his ear, "Then there's probably no chance...
"...I was originally thinking that if you waited until you completed the ritual, your consciousness would enter the created evil blood angel. Then I wouldn't have the chance... to play with you properly again."
Evil Blood Angel...
Just hearing this word, Alphonse felt that the future was full of hope.
Anna told him this story - in a blood pool in Narcissus Territory, there was a demonized blood angel.
The essence of this thing is simple...
Because the creation of the Moon Child actually only requires the corpse of a transcendental being on the Path of Love. And after death, people's souls enter the dream world... At the same time, once someone becomes an Apostle, the utensils they used in their lifetime, as well as their corpses themselves, will be sanctified because of this sacred connection.
In other words, if someone could obtain the corpse of an apostle of the Path of Love—this corpse itself could also be transformed into a Son of the Moon!
However, because the corpse itself had been sanctified, the Moon Child's transformation ritual could not function properly. As an apostle, his power would be entwined with his corpse through some kind of connection, preventing other powers from easily influencing it. Otherwise, if a few undead were transformed from the apostle's shrine, wouldn't that be ridiculous?
If one can destroy this sacredness through a certain ritual, one can be forced to transform. Then one can obtain a Moon Child body with the power of an apostle...
——This is the evil blood angel.
When Lady Kingsford learned that Alphonse needed strength, she sent him such a body, taught him the ritual to remove the divine protection, and lent him her own jewelry.
After a Blood Angel loses its sanctity, it temporarily becomes an ordinary corpse. If one can mix one's own ashes into it at this time, then when it transforms into a foul Blood Angel, a portion of its consciousness and personality will belong to one's own.
In this way, you can bypass the difficult promotion and gain the power of the apostle in one step!
By then, my father’s worries will no longer be a problem!
It is for this reason that Alphonse is very grateful to the generous Ms. Kingsford.
I even felt like I was falling in love with her... I fell in love with this witch who had lived for at least sixty or seventy years and was known as "more evil than the devil."
"...Then, how about you come to my house now?"
Alphonse hesitated for a moment, but still invited, "There's no one at home—I've asked the servants to leave so as not to disrupt the ceremony."
"I'm afraid not."
Anna smiled and said, "You will have guests at your house soon."
"……guest?"
"Just now, Earl Dawn was murdered. All members of the Rosicrucian Order have learned of this."
"--What?!"
Alphonse was shocked and was about to leave the dream the next moment.
But he was quickly grabbed by Anna, and his body, which had quickly turned transparent, became solid again.
"Ma'am, I need to get ready quickly!"
Alphonse turned pale with fear: "The demon incarnation in Earl Dawn's body is the Winter Demon...it might kill me!"
The Winter Demon—it was the evolved form of the Ice Demon. As the demon of laziness, it symbolized the essence of the death of all things.
Not only does it restrain the Son of the Moon in terms of its abilities... but out of personal preference, it also harbors hatred towards the Son of the Moon, dragons, elves, and other immortal species that can survive for a long time.
If the Winter Devil really escapes from Count Dawn's body, it will even actively try to hunt down the Son of the Moon!
By then, the police failed to find him, but the devil came to him!
"...Don't worry, because the Winter Devil hasn't broken free from Dawn's body. Otherwise, do you think you can still chat with me here in peace?"
Anna made a joke.
“I-I see…”
Alphonse breathed a sigh of relief.
But he soon realized who the guest Anna had mentioned was.
"...You don't mean to say that the man who killed Earl Dawn wants to come find me, do you?"
"You guessed right."
“Save me—”
"Of course, of course, baby. I will save you..."
Anna comforted Alphonse, her lips curled up slightly, her smile full of enchanting magic: "I have already set it up just now - as long as you shout 'I surrender'! I can teleport to your side immediately."
"…why, why is that?"
Alphonse's expression was very ugly: "We, the Children of the Moon, are a proud race—"
"Don't worry, it's just a secret phrase. Think about it, normally, when you say this, won't the other party subconsciously stop? At least they'll let down their guard... That way, I'll have a chance to sneak up on them."
Anna explained.
Alphonse thought it made sense.
He nodded and agreed: "Okay, I remember... Then when should I tell you?"
"When you think it's appropriate. For example, when you sense danger... or when you think the other party has let down their guard."
Anna said, patted his cheek and said with a smile: "Okay, it's time to wake up from the dream now..."
The next moment, Alphonse suddenly opened his eyes from the bed.
In his originally empty bedroom, there suddenly appeared a person for no reason.
A young black-haired girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a youthful beauty, was wearing a cloak and holding a crow in her arms that made her feel extremely uneasy.
According to Alphonse's original personality, he was actually accustomed to interacting with these young girls. But because of Anna, he immediately realized her identity - this seemingly quiet girl was the culprit who killed Earl Dawn!
Alphonse's nerves tensed up: "Who are you?"
"What do you think?"
Aleister was holding Raven in his bedroom, strolling leisurely and observing his collection. He said casually, "You were the one who arranged that ceremony? I can't tell..."
"Tsk, why are there so many fairy tales on the bookshelf? Are you a child?"
"So what if it's me... So what if it's not me!"
Alphonse first breathed a sigh of relief - fortunately, the corpse of the god in the basement seemed not to have been discovered.
But he quickly tensed up again: Oh no, how did she know I was the one who planned the ceremony?!
So he just admitted half of it and then quickly changed his words.
"Anna Kingsford taught you?"
Aleister continued slowly.
Alphonse's pupils dilated violently—how did she know everything!
He hadn't told anyone about his contact with Ms. Kingsford! No one knew... Even his father had forbidden him from contacting Ms. Kingsford!
If he hadn't seen that his father had no other choice, he would never have taken the initiative to violate his father's taboo...
"Tell me about it, Alphonse."
Aleister turned around and said leisurely, "Or—do you want to be beaten first?"
"I surrender—"
He recited the secret words without hesitation.
And just at this moment.
A scarlet magic circle suddenly appeared on his left cheek, and the necklace around his neck screamed like a pressure cooker, emitting a disturbing red light.
“Wait, this is—!”
Alphonse screamed in horror.
The next moment, the night demon in Aleister's arms suddenly revealed its original form.
Two broken and dry wings directly embraced Aleister——
In an instant, the sky was covered with dark clouds.
Along with the bloody wind and rain, a violent explosion sounded.
A mushroom cloud slowly rises over the city of Leipzig!
