Chapter 313 (1): This Works Much Better than Magic
“Let the Queen go!”
Gripping Shadow Nightmare, Wayne mentally added, Let Auston do it.
Now standing over five meters tall with a powerful physique, Douglas heard Wayne’s exclamation and turned around, his dazed eyes glinting with madness as he lunged at the Darkness Knight with bared teeth and claws.
Auston was delighted. He had been worried that the bandit would use the hostages as leverage, but instead, the bandit abandoned his hostages and chose to engage in close combat. What a kind demon!
He gave Wayne a pointed look. He would deal with Douglas, while Wayne rescued the Queen and her family.
It’s too dangerous! Wayne put Auston behind him and charged at Douglas first. Threads of Death energy surged and transformed into a massive octopus, its tentacles wrapping around Douglas. Auston shook his head with a dark look, quickly rushing to the white bones that stretched toward heaven and earth.
Though extracted from Douglas’s body, the bones were an application of his spatial abilities. They appeared to stretch across the void, but were actually linked to Douglas’s body—the vessel for the Lord of Pride. Going further, they were connected to the Book of Hell.
The ritual to activate the divine blood had begun. The bloodlines of the five royals were awakening, and their faces twisted with the tremendous pain they were under.
Frank’s arrangement was devious.
Take Queen Sophelia as an example: her heart was beating incredibly quickly, pumping her blood and circulating it at an extreme speed with no regard for whether the Queen’s body could withstand it.
The divine blood within Sophelia had partially awakened, but she was merely the blood maker and did not enjoy the power granted by the awakening. The cage transferred all her blood to the Book of Hell in Douglas’s body.
It drank the Queen’s blood and consumed her flesh, leaving not even a drop untouched. It was typical of Windsor, but even more so of Hell.
