NOVEL NEXT Chapter 107: The Black Treaty
Sivis hadn't realized the huge profit that came with Dace·Dracula at first. The possible disaster that might erupt in the city above had been constantly on his mind.
Now, this vampire woman kept showing off her presence, which finally made Sivis remember a background story he had played through when he was in Gandanyir—
When the God of Blood Sea entered a strange space to sleep, he split the space key into two and gave each to a different Blood Clan to guard.
One of them was this Blood Clan queen, and the other was a rather weird girl from the Blood Clan.
That girl, who was a descendant of the Evil God, was incredibly kind-hearted.
Sivis just happened to need to steal the divine power of the God of Blood Sea.
Normally, he would have to reach at least legendary or semi-god level before he could even start using or stealing the divine power.
As the Evil God, even if he used his own power, he still needed to reach that level.
But if he could get the key to that sleeping space, things would be completely different.
He could start extracting divine power and strengthening himself much earlier!
The power from divine power far exceeded any cultivation system in this world.
The God of Blood Sea had made special arrangements for Blood Clan members who carried the key. The key could not be taken out by anyone with less than divine-rank strength.
But Sivis knew a "bug": when a guardian was being transformed, it meant the reorganization of the target's life level, body, and soul. During this reorganization process, the key of the God of Blood Sea would be extracted!
If he could make these two special Blood Clan members his guardians, he could obtain the divine power in advance!
This...
Could make Sivis take off like a rocket!
"Dace·Dracula is at Diamond-Rank, but if she follows a specific storyline, I could almost have her at Platinum-Rank, or even at the peak of Gold-Rank."
"The other Blood Clan girl was even more ridiculous because of her kindness—she only drank animal blood. Although she had extremely high talent, she had never crossed into the Extraordinary level."
"Divine power... it's so close to me!"
How could Sivis not be excited? How could he not be thrilled?
As for... the Blood Clan assassination mark that Dace·Dracula had placed on him.
He didn't care at all!
"You Blood Clans are in such a mess, yet you're chasing me. First, take care of yourselves. Don't get wiped out by the Church!"
"You're running around like dogs!"
Sivis found out he might be targeted by the Church, and he was completely stunned.
Being put under a death warrant by the Blood Clan?
He just wanted to laugh!
Even... this death warrant could be a big help in the upcoming action to rescue the people!
If the Blood Servants were coming after Sivis, then others would be safe!
Thanks a lot!
Right now, Sivis was actually worried that after Dace·Dracula had placed the mark on him, she might lose interest in him.
If I can't even get rid of her later, what's the point of talking about "capturing" her?
After thinking about it, he calmly typed out a line of text.
In an instant, the Blood Clan queen, who had just been acting quite composed, showed a flash of fear and hesitation in her eyes: "Who the hell are you? How do you know all this?"
Dace·Dracula's face turned strange.
That extremely tempting expression turned into a serious and earnest one.
Sivis said, "Other Blood Clan death warrants might scare me, but yours, Dace·Dracula, don't scare me at all."
"From what I know, you've been practically cornered by the other elders in your clan, right?"
"Even close to death. Your threats mean absolutely nothing."
Sivis smiled.
In reality, he was thinking to himself—
Lying to you, actually, I don't fear the death warrants from other Blood Clans either. They're all just a bunch of lost dogs. Who's more noble than who?
Dace·Dracula's eyes flashed with a cold light. As she listened to those words, she thought about all the backstabbing and oppression from the clan elders, and the shrinking of her own power, and her eyes burned with even more anger.
She looked at this human male, who was smiling but not really smiling, and her anger boiled over. She could no longer maintain the seductive demeanor she had before, and instead stared at him coldly, as if she wanted to tear him apart to vent her frustration.
But Sivis was completely immune to that move.
"Good, you've successfully pissed me off. I swear, I'll not only issue a death warrant against you, but I'll also send my powerful Blood Clan forces to tear your body apart, inch by inch, and make you feel every possible pain!"
"Cut it out, don't act like that." Even though Sivis was now extremely anxious and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
He knew that if he didn't scare Dace·Dracula, he wouldn't be able to escape.
His current speech had two main purposes: one was to leave a mysterious and deep impression in the mind of this future Blood Clan queen, creating a crack in her mind, which would make it much easier to train her as a guardian later.
The other reason was because Dace·Dracula's personality was extremely strange. Normally, she had a high chance of following Sivis even if he ignored her, just to see what the human was up to.
If Sivis played along, she would get even more arrogant, and demand that Sivis become her servant.
He'd never get out of it.
Sivis decided to use a more "violent" method to get her to leave, making Dace·Dracula fear and run away on her own.
He cut off the Blood Clan queen's words and coldly said, "You don't have ears? I said, your own life is about to be over, and you still want to threaten me? How ridiculous!"
But just then, a Blood Clan member nearby screamed out in an instinctive reaction.
"Indeed, there are some conflicts within the Blood Clan, but everything is for the God of the Blood Sea, everything is for restoring our clan's glory."
"Mutual destruction among elder-level Blood Clan members is strictly forbidden. You won't be able to shake our unity with just a few words!"
"You should die!"
Dace·Dracula completely stopped pretending. She stood there with an extremely cold and proud attitude, like a true queen.
As she spoke, a gentle breeze brushed through her golden, silk-like long hair, making it dance in the air like a scattering of fairies.
This extremely beautiful scene was contrasted with a face that was incredibly exquisite yet as cold as ice.
Sivis couldn't help but comment to himself—people back in his previous life with some pretty unusual kinks would probably be extremely excited if they saw this.
He had to admit, Dace·Dracula, the Blood Clan queen, had not only a seductive side, but also an incredibly intimidating presence.
And at the same time, she was extremely capable of arousing the desires of the opposite sex.
But unfortunately, that expression didn't work on Sivis at all!
It was the approaching female Blood Clan member, her growing and terrifying presence, that made Sivis just slowly speak again:
"You forgot the Black Treaty? This is a vow that the God of the Blood Sea made for your entire clan. It clearly states that even elder-level Blood Clan members can be voted to death if they threaten the interests of the clan."
"You know about this?" Dace·Dracula's face changed, and her proud posture instantly broke.
She hadn't fully grown into the future Blood Clan queen yet. She was just a regular elder, and she normally had to show submission and humility toward more senior Blood Clan members.
Under Sivis's threat, she could no longer keep her composure.
She was genuinely shocked, as she had shown. The Black Treaty was a fundamental law that the God of the Blood Sea had set for the Blood Clan generations ago.
Theoretically, even the true gods didn't know about this treaty, because the [Black Treaty] had never been spoken out by any Blood Clan member. Anyone who revealed it would be punished by the Divine, burned to ashes by the Abyssal Blood Flame.
Even the True God Church, which had been in a long struggle with the Blood Clan, only knew that there was an ultimate law that restrained the Blood Clan. But they could only know of the existence of the law, not the name itself!
Who the hell was this human who wielded holy light?
To be honest, even if he was a descendant of a true god, he shouldn't know this word.
With this bombshell of a card being dropped, it completely stunned Dace·Dracula.
She looked at Sivis's slightly handsome but thin body, for some reason, it seemed to be cloaked in layers of mist and whirlpools, making it hard for her to look away.
At the same time...
Dace·Dracula's heart was filled with an extremely intense desire to kill.
She coldly said, "No matter how you found out about this name, I can't let you live."
After saying that, her virtual figure made of spiritual energy violently trembled. It seemed like she was trying to communicate with the forces of the world, unleashing some secret technique, or calling her true body, or summoning other powerful Blood Clan members to kill Sivis.
Even… she didn't seem to care about her own personal interests at all.
She had to protect the secrets of the Blood Clan!
Sivis knew exactly what Dace·Dracula was feeling right now.
The term Black Treaty couldn't be obtained by anyone in the Gandanyir world through any kind of intelligence.
But in Sivis's previous life, the official setting books sold for Gandanyir had casually written hundreds of pages about the God of the Blood Sea, the Fallen Angel God, the Demon Duke, and even some so-called major secrets of the True God faction.
After all, background settings were something game companies could come up with in a second. There was no point in hiding them!
Secrets like the Black Treaty were so deep that Sivis could probably spend ten years just spilling one a day.
He also knew that, even though Dace·Dracula seemed not to care about what he had just said and just wanted to kill him, in reality—
Her mental defenses had already been broken. All he needed was a final blow to finish her!
Sivis knew that Dace·Dracula valued the interests of the Blood Clan, but… what she valued was a Blood Clan that at least had a place for her to stand!
The future queen of the Blood Clan slowly calmed down, and with a cold gaze, she looked at Sivis, as if she wanted to witness the final look of this mysterious human who had once intrigued her.
