Chapter 694: -137- Goodbye Badak (6000 words)_4
The low-tier Bloodline members around looked bewildered.
They hadn't seen clearly what had actually happened.
From their perspective, all they saw was the revered and mysterious Earl suddenly bellow forth a cry, unleashing inconceivably terrifying power, and then... he suddenly lost all his strength and fell flat on his face.
Charlo knew what had happened.
He watched Charlotte's back, his gaze filled with even greater reverence.
The True Ancestor!
This was the power of a True Ancestor!
The True Ancestor was the source of strength for all Bloodlines; the True Ancestor held absolute Bloodline Suppression over any Bloodline member!
If placed in the past, the True Ancestor's bloodline suppression might not have been so strong over other Bloodline members, but now, the True Ancestor's strength had greatly recovered, clearly... she had once again become the sovereign who reigned supreme above all Bloodline descendants!
Charlo's expression was incredibly excited.
Meanwhile, as the initial shock and confusion faded away and Count Harris realized what had happened, his eyes gradually widened.
He lay prone on the ground, struggling to raise his head…
Looking at Charlotte's beautiful, cold visage, at her silver hair, at her iconic golden-red pupils, Count Harris's face gradually turned pale.
His lips trembled, his pupils dilated, and even his voice shook:
"This... this power, you... not... you... are…"
Charlotte glanced at him indifferently:
"Where is Badak?"
Count Harris opened his mouth but provided no answer.
Charlotte slightly furrowed her brows:
"Is there a word spirit protection...?"
She murmured.
"Never mind, I'll find him myself."
She shook her head gently and retracted her gaze.
Her eyes swept around the area, she took a deep breath, and unleashed the near-legendary Bloodline aura of her true form:
"Commander Badak, an old acquaintance has come for a visit, please come out for a chat!"
The pressure, even stronger than the one that Earl Harris had released, spread out, and those low-tier Bloodline members who had just tried to get up and flee, thudded to their knees again.
This time, the defiant pressure finally angered the Nais Bloodline members who had not made an appearance.
"How insolent!"
"Who are this Bloodline member to challenge us in the domain of the Nais Clan!"
With angry shouts, powerful auras rose from various castles.
Soon, one after another, more than thirty bright red glows descended onto the plaza in the center of the residence.
All of them were high-tier Bloodline members, including a Blood Duke whose aura was as deep as the sea.
Clearly, Charlotte had really stirred up the "hornet's nest" this time.
As the high-tier Bloodline members appeared, more Bloodline members poured out of the various castles.
Before long, Charlotte and Charlo were completely surrounded by members of the Nais Clan.
Leading them was a Blood Duke who appeared quite elderly.
His expression was somber, and his gaze was full of hostility towards Charlotte.
His eyes shifted between Charlo and Charlotte, then he let out a cold laugh:
"Your Excellency must be the envoy from Castel, hmm? Heh, I hadn't expected that the prince behind Castel would actually be from the Kilari Clan."
"Your Excellency, I don't know how you have mastered the magic that can seal a Bloodline's strength, but do not think that having the backing of a god allows you to do whatever you wish in the territory of the Nais Clan!"
With that, the Blood Duke snorted coldly, magic power fluctuating around him as he appeared ready to take direct action.
Charlotte sighed.
Her gaze swiftly turned cold, and the aura around her suddenly intensified again.
The Blood Divine Power surged, the tremendous pressure erupting like a volcano, with the crushing force of soul and bloodline instantly descending upon every Nais Bloodline member.
Then, all the Nais Bloodline members heard an icy command echo in their minds:
"Kneel!"
"Thump..."
"Thump..."
"Thump..."
"..."
A series of knee-hitting-the-floor sounds.
Like reaping wheat, the present Nais Bloodline members all knelt down under the irresistible command, even the Duke who had just unleashed his power and who was the strongest among them, could not bear the suffocating pressure and also knelt down.
Upon seeing all the Nais Bloodline members kneeling, Charlo, who hadn't been "cared for" by Charlotte's pressure, hurriedly knelt down behind Charlotte.
Silence.
A dead silence.
The Bloodline members gazed at the only girl standing with fear and astonishment, not even realizing what had transpired.
And this time, the remaining Dukes of the Nais Clan... were finally thoroughly alarmed.
One potent aura after another arrived, showing up on the plaza.
Great Elder Duke Robin, Duke Yoroc, Duke Alek... the true high-ranking members of the Nais Clan all made their appearance.
Their expressions were unprecedentedly solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy, they came together to counter Charlotte's pressure.
Until... a deep voice came through:
"Enough... stop all of you."
Hearing this voice, the Dukes of the Nais Clan simultaneously halted.
Charlotte also turned her head to look towards the source of the voice.
A movement in her heart caused her to lessen the divine power she was releasing, and, feeling the diminished pressure, the Nais Bloodline members also struggled to their feet, parting to either side.
Soon, a "knight" clad in armor appeared in Charlotte's view.
Gazing at a figure similar to memories of the past, Charlotte too felt somewhat dazed.
As the knight clearly saw Charlotte's appearance, his gaze also tightened.
In the eyes of all the shocked, confused Nais Bloodline members, the "knight" stepped forward, knelt on one knee before Charlotte, and bowed deeply:
"Former Free City State... Third Legion Commander Badak... pays homage to Your Majesty, the Ancestor..."
