Chapter 169: You Got Off Easy!
Becoming this human's Guardian Beast would restrict her strength.
Right now, at Monarch Peak power....
Might even drop to Commander Tier Two!
But using the Blood Race's unique Blood Covenant...
There won't be such a worry.
The two bonded by the Blood Covenant form an equal partnership.
She can not only establish a connection with this human, ensuring the Divine Pattern doesn't decay.
But also maintain her own strength!
When this human truly grows in the future....
She'll then choose to become this human's Guardian Beast!
The best of both worlds!
Moreover....
Though she doesn't dislike this human, it doesn't mean she's willing to become his Guardian Beast.
Thus the Blood Covenant is the best choice!
However, the Contract requires time to prepare...
Before that——
She has to control this Demon God first!
Blood light surged in Lilith's eyes, with waves of blood aura raging around her.
On the other side, the Demon God finally steadied his form after being knocked back.
He narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Gu Xing.
This human...
No wonder he could acquire the Divine Pattern.
Even though he, a Demon God of Monarch Peak, personally attacked, it could still be blocked.
But he also noticed...
That golden barrier seems usable only once.
He curled his lips into a cruel smile.
This Commander Tier Two human is not worth considering.
Then, his gaze shifted to Lilith.
She's his real opponent!
At this moment, he gazed at Lilith with a touch of mockery:
"Dear Blood Ancestor, we meet again~"
"This time, can you still escape?"
During this time, he figured everything out.
Lilith must have used the power of the Divine Pattern to leave a safeguard.
Otherwise, relying solely on the Blood Race's power to leave a body would never have deceived his Perception.
Moreover——
The power of the Divine Pattern can't be used again in a short time!
He was completely unworried that Lilith could escape again.
"Blood Ancestor," a hint of temptation appeared on his face, "the previous terms still stand."
"As long as you hand over the Divine Pattern, not only will I let you go, but I will also help you fight these Blood Race members."
Being an enemy of Lilith is far more dangerous than opposing that group of Blood Race members.
If Lilith would willingly hand over the Divine Pattern.
That undoubtedly would be the best outcome!
But...
A chill flashed in Lilith's blood-red pupils.
Having lived countless years, how could she be deceived by this clumsy lie?
Handing over the Divine Pattern would entrust her life entirely to the other party...
Moreover, she's already made up her mind.
Without looking back, her voice reached Gu Xing's ears.
"Gu Xing, prepare to enter a Blood Covenant with me!"
Gu Xing was stunned by her words.
Blood Covenant?
What's a Blood Covenant?
His understanding of the Blood Race was limited to begin with.
Moreover...
The Blood Covenant mentioned by Lilith wasn't something ordinary Blood Race members could access.
But at this moment.
Vera suddenly emerged from the Beast Taming Space, her small face filled with shock.
Having inherited some memories, she understood what a Blood Covenant meant to the Blood Race.
But given the current situation...
Even if Lilith didn't request anything, her master would offer his blood to help Lilith restore her power.
After all, Gu Xing couldn't just watch so many Monarch Level powerhouses of the Blood-colored Church all fall.
Humans would suffer extremely severe losses.
So why would Lilith propose a Blood Covenant?
But the Blood Covenant...
Vera suddenly turned, her green eyes seeing the rebellious Blood Race members.
Her pupils shrank, seeming to understand something.
It's the Divine Pattern!
It must be the influence of the Divine Pattern!
She recalled her abnormal state when she first acquired the Divine Pattern.
Logically, with only herself left in the Elf Clan.
The Divine Pattern should undoubtedly be in a weak state.
When she first began to merge the Divine Pattern, it indeed was so.
However...
As time passed, she discovered...
The weakened Divine Pattern surprisingly started reviving slowly, and even enhancing at a visible speed.
And now, nearly the entire Blood Race has rebelled, if Lilith cleans house——
The Divine Pattern may weaken to a point near dispersion!
Therefore.
Lilith proposes to undergo a Blood Covenant with her master....
Perhaps realizing that the Divine Pattern would strengthen while near Gu Xing.
Yet, Lilith is unwilling to become Gu Xing's Guardian Beast, hence opting for the second-best choice of a Blood Covenant.
Thinking of this, she immediately approached Gu Xing, tugging his sleeve:
"Master, agree to it! The Blood Covenant benefits us!"
Gu Xing turned to glance at his little elf.
He had unconditional trust in his Guardian Beast.
Since Vera said to agree...
He naturally had no reason to hesitate!
And before Gu Xing.
"Blood Domain: Cage!"
Lilith's surrounding blood aura erupted like a thunderclap, scarlet energy surged like living creatures.
"Bang——"
A monstrous blood tide instantly condensed around the Demon God, turning into a dark red cage trapping him tight.
The cost of this strike was clear.
Lilith's figure swayed slightly, her blood-red hair concealing a visage pale as paper.
Clearly, this move nearly exhausted all of Lilith's strength.
Having done all this, Lilith whirled around abruptly.
She could sense the Domain Cage could only hold for...
Thirty seconds!
So she had to seize the moment and contract the Blood Covenant with Gu Xing.
Lilith was in her true form, close behind Gu Xing.
Her eyes, as if capable of dripping blood, were fixed on Gu Xing:
"Human, enter the Blood Covenant with me!"
"Alright!"
Gu Xing agreed without hesitation.
This straightforward answer left Lilith momentarily stunned.
All the speeches she prepared were stuck in her throat.
But on second thought...
Gu Xing's willingness to enter a contract was beneficial!
She glanced at the Demon God trapped in the Blood Domain.
"Crack... click..."
Cracks appeared on the surface of the Blood Domain.
Lilith's heart tightened.
Given her current strength, trapping a Monarch Peak for such a duration was her limit...
No more delay!
"Lucky for you..."
Lilith abruptly pulled Gu Xing into her embrace, her movement brisk to leave Gu Xing unable to react.
Her sharp fangs instantly pierced the skin on Gu Xing's neck, warm blood rushing into her mouth.
This was...
Gu Xing felt dizziness but curiously no pain.
Lilith's blood-red eyes grew even more crimson at the moment of drinking blood, blood aura surged like a storm.
Blood energy coiled layer upon layer, soon wrapping both completely, forming a massive blood cocoon.
"Boom——"
On the other side, the Demon God finally shredded the blood cage.
His expression twisted into fierceness!
"Twice now!"
"Not only did I fail to deal with that Commander Tier Two human, but was also trapped by Lilith of King Tier One!"
Damn it!
His black eyes scanned across the battlefield.
Only to see...
Where Lilith originally stood, a blood cocoon emerged.
What's this?
A sudden sense of foreboding climbed up his spine.
Inside the blood cocoon is Lilith?
But...
Why is the aura this blood cocoon emits rising rapidly?
And at a terrifying pace!
