Crimson Servant

Chapter 63 Dragon Blood Ritual
  Uncontrolled free fall of the body is not a good experience. John is not too worried about this. He knows what is underneath, a red dragon corpse entangled in chains of sin. His spells were full of blood, and each child penetrated the scales of the red dragon and poked its head out from the corpse of the giant beast to greet them. They were so active that to John's perception they were like stars lighting up in the dark sky.

The warlock sank into the crimson star, and the chains he had prepared turned into the softest fiber shape, forming a mattress under his body. After absorbing the impact, it became an extension of John's limbs. Under his instructions Complete the sacrificial ceremony below.

The dragon's blood drew every line of the ritual circle and gathered the red dragon's corpse into the circle. It was a luxury for the weak John to move a finger at this time. He had to rely on chains to support his body movements.

Until his mind became slightly tired, John finally allowed himself to kneel down.

[It’s such a pity that you proposed the exchange plan without you by my side, Nora. 】

The red mist began to rise, and John thought of the genius shapeshifter again.

[That spell was flawed, Little John, and your vitality was weakened, but I found a way to remedy it. 】

[Let's go blood hunting, Little John. Replenish your body with the blood of creatures with strong vitality, and your body will recover. If possible, let Francis take us to hunt dragons. The dragon's blood will definitely make up for everything you have. 】

[Wait a little longer, Little John, I will find a way. 】

Nora Sebas's smiling face often appears in the memory, but her shining eyes at that time are more profound than any memory. John Kemp thought about his dragon-hunting companion again, a guy with glowing eyes instead of shining eyes, and he couldn't help but have a regretful smile on his lips.

The crimson fibers penetrated into his own flesh, and every inch of his skin pierced into his blood vessels like needles. The other end held a huge dragon corpse, and the evil chain became the blood circulation system between humans and dragons. John could feel the strong force squeezing everything out of his body.

He began to chant.

"Virtis..."

"Virtis..."

"Virtis..."

"My master, my god..."

"The ominous red mist, the crimson god, the corrupter, Veltis..."

"Please allow your servant John Kemp to offer this precious sacrifice..."

"The evil dragon mother goddess, the bloodline of the dark lady Tiamat..."

"All pain returns to deep red."

The blood was drawn from the body of the red dragon. The blood brought by the huge body made it easy to complete the crimson ring. The ritual had connected to the divine power, but the mystery descending in the red mist was still growing. Outside the circle of blood, a ball of dirty blood suddenly turned black, forming a hazy dragon shadow.

The crimson ceremony welcomed an extra follower.

He stayed away from the ceremony, just looking at everything that was going on with evil eyes. Carefully avoiding the eddies that merged into the circle, He smiled evilly and "blessed" before the corruption came.

[You are better than my heir, then suck my blood, my new child. 】

[Use the power I gave you to bring more chaos and catastrophe to this plane, son of madness. 】

The power of the Dragon Queen has been erased by Crimson, but the evil laughter still echoes in John's mind. Tiamat noticed his transgression. He knew that he had stolen the power that belonged to the dragon, but he did not stop it. . John didn't think this was greed incarnate and showing kindness, but he just understood a rule more deeply.

[Viltis’s ceremony cannot be interrupted. 】

Putting aside the worries caused by the Dragon Queen's attention, John continued the ritual. He knew that the next step was the most critical step. The blood exchange was almost completed, and everything would be decided by the crimson god.

John Kemp's body could not withstand the power of dragon blood. Dragon blood is a lethal poison for any non-dragon race. As a rare alchemical material, dragon blood contains powerful energy. Even the most skilled alchemist masters will be cautious in extracting the power of dragon blood. Secrecy and exclusivity create a noble bloodline, and this quality is the same whether it is a dragon or a human. There are many legends about heroes and warriors who killed giant dragons and bathed in their blood, but it was the rarity of merging dragon blood that forged their legends. But in fact, these are more of the beautiful thoughts written by bards on paper. They admire the magical power of dragons and the bravery of heroes, so they combine the two and sing songs of praise, just for money and fame. . The mages who studied them did not lack these, so they found the truth.

Those warriors who bathed in dragon blood themselves had weak dragon blood, and the power they gained after bathing was only stimulated by the blood of their relatives to awaken to their ancestors. And they just bathed and those who dared to taste it did not resist the death curse of their relatives. Even if they managed to survive the backlash, the Dragon Queen Tiamat who came by induction would... The dragon would not allow anyone to get its hands on its treasures.

It is completely impossible to completely replace Dragon Blood.

And John Kemp is utilizing the miracles of divine power.

Harness the wonders of the Crimson Ritual.

The ritual of Vertis cannot be interrupted.

The rotten wood-like body blended into the dragon's blood brought John one step closer to death. He had run out of fuel and was on his deathbed. But at this time, he is the host of the crimson ritual. The ritual cannot be interrupted, and the divine power will not let the host of the ritual die before everything is over. John Camp relied on the divine power to hang himself, sealing the poisonous dragon's blood in his body.

Veltis is the Corruptor.

The corruptive nature of the Crimson Power has been proven many times in the Warlock's bloodline. It broke the restrictions of bloodlines and made all blood lose their master. So, what about dragon blood? Tiamat's appearance has proven that he is unable to at least not interfere with the corruption of dragon blood by the crimson power. John Camp deduced that the corruption of the crimson power could make his body and dragon's blood impossible to combine.

There is a pattern to Vertis's gifts.

With every sacrifice, the crimson god will incorporate power into the spiritual residue to form spells. These gifts all have the meaning of wool being produced on a sheep. [Veltis' Sinful Chain] [Veltis' Vicious Red Mist] [Crenzo's Silver Key]... John has no doubt that this time he sacrificed the red dragon, and the gift he received must be the same as this. The head is related to the red dragon.

Anyway, Vertis can only use local materials, so why not choose the gifts he wants first.

John Kemp picked Dragon's Blood.

Another test of Vertis, another gamble on the deeds of the gods.

John Kemp was accustomed to sacrilege.

Now, all he has to do is wait for the ceremony to end and the Crimson God's response to him. Either accept his wishes, help John merge into the dragon's blood and gain the power of the red dragon, or let him be poisoned by the dragon's blood.

Thinking of this, John Kemp even had blasphemous thoughts in his mind.

This demon will definitely save him. He will not punish blasphemy with anger, but will inflict more unforgettable mental torture in bad taste.

During the crimson ceremony, there was a fluctuation, which coincidentally made John lament whether Vertis had taken revenge too quickly this time.

A corner of the ritual was torn open, and as John Kemp watched in astonishment, an arm reached into the ritual magic. In the twisted branch-like claws, a wooden holy symbol glowed with crimson blood.

[It’s really easy for me to find you, the favored one. 】

There was an excess of soul sounds.

John Kemp tried his best to turn his head to see the intruder in the ritual, but he was completely unable to control his body while maintaining the ritual.

because……

The ritual of Vertis cannot be interrupted.
