Gospel of Blood

Charlotte pondered for a moment and telepathically communicated with Nice.

Soon enough, the black cat pushed open the door to the training room and walked in.

Perhaps it was because the food at the Castell household was too good, this fellow had been getting fatter recently, showing a tendency towards becoming round.

"Meow, esteemed Miss Charlotte, did you summon me?"

Charlotte glanced at it and said calmly.

"How much strength would be considered average for a bloodborne that recently advanced to the First Tier?"

"Meow! That depends on what race they were before becoming bloodborne. Different races have different standards. For humans, it should be similar to that of extraordinary knights."

Nice replied instinctively.

After speaking, it glanced at the number on the magic sandbag, its eyes widening.

"You're not surprised?"

Charlotte's mind stirred.

"Surprised about what? Even if you smashed the sandbag with one punch or shouted a Blazing Sun strongman unconscious, Nice wouldn't be surprised."

The cat replied, licking its paw.

"You're neither ordinary nor a typical bloodborne. Anything that happens with you is quite normal."

Charlotte: ...

That sounded somewhat reasonable.

With the Gospel of Blood in her possession, she seemed to defy conventional logic, often endowed with extraordinary strength.

However... Charlotte was certain that she wasn't currently tapping into the power of the Gospel of Blood. Her current strength belonged entirely to her.

"How much strength does a Second Tier Silver Moon extraordinary knight have?"

Charlotte asked after some thought.

"If they've just been promoted, their physical strength alone should be at least 20,000 pounds, possibly close to 30,000 pounds. And if their source power erupts, it's even more terrifying. However, the bodies of Silver Moon knights have undergone qualitative changes, and strength is no longer the sole measure of their power."

"The First Tier Starry Sky knights, when trained to the utmost limit, can have source power eruption strengths close to 20,000 pounds. However, they are no match for Silver Moon knights at all, because Silver Moon knights have greater endurance, stronger recovery, and more powerful source power eruptions."

Nice explained.

20,000 to 30,000 pounds... that's already over ten tons of pure physical strength, and if source power erupts, multiplying that several times probably wouldn't be a problem.

So, her strength hadn't reached that of the Silver Moon, it was just among the stronger ones within the Starry Sky.

However, it was daytime now. When it came to nighttime, a bloodborne's strength would double. At that time... her strength would be even greater.

Charlotte pondered. Then, she looked at the other testing equipment in the training room.

Two brightly lit crystal balls and two translucent slabs.

These were alchemy devices for testing magic or source power intensity, and magic affinity or source power sensitivity.

Strength was a weakness of the Bloodborne, but now Charlotte's strength was already so exceptional that she was curious about her magic power.

"What's the magic power of a recently advanced Starry Sky mage? And how about magic affinity?"

Charlotte asked.

"Probably around 3,000 grains, and as for magic affinity, it's generally around 60%, but some are naturally high, reaching 90%."

Nice said.

A grain is a unit of magic power. One grain is roughly equivalent to the magic power consumption to maintain the simplest apprentice-level spell, Light, for one minute.

Converted to first-tier magic, Starry Sky mages can use about thirty to forty grains at a time, and those with high magic affinity can use close to fifty.

Magic affinity is the efficiency of a mage's magic power utilization and meditation. The higher the affinity, the higher the utilization efficiency and meditation efficiency, with a maximum of 100%, meaning there is no waste when converting magic power into magic, and all absorbed magic power during meditation can be stored at 100%.

"What about Silver Moon?"

Charlotte asked again.

"Hey, although mages aren't physically strong, their mental strength is formidable. And when it comes to Silver Moon, a mage's mental strength undergoes a qualitative change, as does the magic power pool."

"The magic power of Silver Moon mages is generally over 30,000 grains, but when they use magic, they no longer need to rely solely on their internal magic power. They can resonate with the magic power in the air, greatly reducing magic power consumption."

"Starting from Silver Moon... as long as they don't get close, extraordinary knights are no match for mages. Of course, knights with exceptional talents, like Kara, are exceptions. They're monsters."

"In addition, the magic affinity of Silver Moon mages is over 90%."

Nice replied.

Charlotte nodded slightly.

With Nice's explanations, she finally had a clear understanding of the strength of First Tier Starry Sky and Second Tier Silver Moon extraordinary beings.

After some thought, Charlotte placed her hand on the crystal ball and infused it with her magic power.

As she did so, the crystal ball instantly lit up, emitting a crimson light. Gradually, a blurry number appeared on the base - 13,000 grains.

13,000 grains?

Isn't that over four times the strength of a recently advanced Starry Sky mage?

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

At this point, she finally confirmed that it wasn't just her strength that was too strong, but rather since advanced to the First Tier Starry Sky, she had surpassed the norm in every aspect!

Charlotte took a deep breath and began testing her magic affinity. As she touched it, the translucent slab immediately took on a deep black hue, and the affinity meter on the magic crystal below shot up to maximum.

Magic affinity, 100%.

And it was dark magic affinity, 100%.

Charlotte wasn't surprised by this. The magic affinity of magical creatures was always extremely high, and the Bloodborne were, after all, creatures of darkness.

After testing her strength and magic, Charlotte looked at the black cat again.

"Do you have any knives?"

The black cat's eyes widened in alarm, protecting its two cat eggs.

"What... what do you want to do?"

Charlotte rolled her eyes.

"I'm not performing surgery on you. Hurry up and hand it over."

"Erm..."

After some thought, the black cat cautiously retrieved a nail clipper from the void.

"Are you kidding me?"

Charlotte frowned.

Seeing the girl's increasingly impatient expression, Nicee sighed and fetched a small dagger, handing it over.

Satisfied, Charlotte took it and made a cut on her own arm.

A burning pain and fresh blood flowed instantly. But soon, Charlotte noticed that muscle was growing beneath the wound on her arm.

After a while, the wound on her arm had completely healed.

"My self-healing ability has improved, although not as much as during that night's rampage, it's still quite powerful."

Charlotte nodded in satisfaction.

With this, she had a preliminary understanding of her physical qualities.

Although she had just advanced to the Starry Sky, she had already surpassed the ordinary Starry Sky in all aspects and was no longer afraid of most threats at this tier.

Of course, if facing a Silver Moon alone, unless she used the power of the Gospel of Blood, she would still... need to run away quickly.

With the tests complete, Charlotte was quite satisfied with her new physical qualities.

Although she still looked like a pitiful little girl on the outside, her true strength was now monstrous.

Throwing the dagger back to Nice, Charlotte left the training room.

"Lady Charlotte, how did it go? What were your test results?"

The boys and girls immediately gathered around, their eyes full of curiosity.

Charlotte smiled faintly.

"A bit stronger than Rand."

Rand: ...

Are you sure it's just a bit?

The boy's gaze carried a hint of resentment.

Charlotte didn't delve further into the topic. She encouraged everyone a bit and then left.

With the physical tests completed, she now needed to study the new power of the Gospel of Blood.

Because she might have to study the power of the "True Ancestor's Liberation," Charlotte didn't choose the study but secluded herself from everyone, coming to the basement of the manor.

After closing the door to the basement and instructing Nice to stand guard outside, Charlotte immersed herself in her consciousness and communicated with the Gospel of Blood.

The crimson light bloomed in her consciousness, and the heavy gospel reappeared in her vision.

As she flipped through the pages, familiar information rushed into her mind:

[Master of the Gospel: Charlotte de Castell]

[Symbol: Thorny Rose]

[Race: Bloodborne]

...

Charlotte browsed through her information and soon paused. She found that her Bloodborne bloodline had changed.

"Royal Clan... Kirali?"

Vaguely, Charlotte seemed to understand why her strength had become so powerful after advancing to the First Tier Starry Sky.
