Chapter 803: Name Rectification

Amongst all the Sanguine present, even if Emlyn wasn't the oddest, he

was definitely among the top ten.

As a member of a race born with a long lifespan, having one or more

hobbies to kill time was common. Emlyn wasn't the only one who liked

dolls, but that wasn't the problem. Aside from purchasing new dolls and

matching them with new clothes, or obtaining blood from hospitals to

drink, he almost never left his home. Nor did he enjoy interacting with

his fellow kinsmen. Unless he desired relatively fresh blood, needed to

obtain some historical knowledge, or exchange for certain ingredients,

he never participated in any of the corresponding gatherings.

Such a lifestyle was nearly identical to the aging, high-ranking

Sanguine who had no choice but to lie in specially-made coffins to

barely maintain their existence. It looked nothing like that of a fellow

who had recently matured. As a result, Emlyn became a topic of idle

conversation at many Sanguine gatherings.

In the years before, people only mentioned it in passing, jeering at him

in private, just like the normal gossip about different freaks in

Backlund. When they heard that Emlyn walked into the Harvest Church

because he got lost and ended up being captured and locked up

underground by the Earth Mother's bishop, his reputation slid into the

irreversible state of being the brunt of the jokes, as well as being a

disgrace to the Sanguine.

Yet, this disgraceful fellow had hunted three consecutive Primordial

Moon believers!

Those were artificial vampires!

*Could it be that he had employed the help of the Church of Earth

Mother's clergymen? Or did he hire some especially powerful bounty

hunters?* Thoughts flashed through the minds of the Sanguine as

they speculated over how Emlyn had clinched victory.

At this moment, Cosmi coughed lightly and said, "Emlyn has already found

the corresponding characteristic legacy and become a Baron."

Baron... When the members of the Sanguine looked at Emlyn

again, there weren't any looks of doubt and puzzlement. Instead, their

eyes were filled with shock, astonishment, and surprise.

For the first time in his life, Emlyn was being stared at by his kinsmen

in such a manner. He suddenly felt ethereal as his mind was filled with

joy. This made him wish to proudly tip his chin and say, "All of you

should be addressing me as Lord."

*This satisfaction is identical to me buying a doll I've been saving up

and craving for...* Emlyn sighed silently as he held back his

tongue. He wore a faint smile as he slowly surveyed the area. Then,

while buttoning his coat, he got up and walked to Cosmi Odora's side.

After the other Sanguine snapped back to their senses as they looked at

the two Barons with mixed looks, Cosmi finally said, "The champion of

the hunting competition will enter the final list of Viscount candidates

and obtain free help for the ritual.

"In addition, he will also receive a ring created by the Ancestor."

As he spoke, Cosmi took out a silver jewelry box engraved with

complicated patterns. Snapping it open, he showed it to all the Sanguine

present.

It was a translucent ring that seemed to be made of light-red amber. It

had a blood-red gem embedded in it. It was the size of a fingernail and

it emitted a faint glow.

"It's called Lilith's Ring. It allows the wearer to be even more

charming and always be in the optimal state of being under the full

moon." Cosmi gave a rough introduction. "It can also make the

surroundings be under the effect of a full-moon; hence, the

corresponding Beyonder powers will be greatly enhanced. At the same

time, it can also project a door that leads deep into the spirit world."

Cosmi paused and added, "This door is the Door of Summoning. It can let

creatures deep in the spirit world use it to arrive in the real world.

However, it can only be used once in a fixed amount of time.

"When spirit world creatures pass through their door, it's equivalent to

signing a corresponding contract with the wearer. They will serve the

wearer for a specific amount of time, possibly around five minutes. If

the service period needs to be maintained for even longer, the wearer

needs to personally communicate with the spirit world creature to

re-sign a contract that's of a longer duration.

"Under normal circumstances, the strength of the summoned spirit world

creature will be equivalent or slightly stronger than the wearer, but

there's the possibility of them being much weaker or much stronger.

There was once a Viscount who relied on this ring to summon a

demigod-level spirit world creature.

"The stronger a spirit world creature's strength, the more they can

resist the agreement in the Door of Summoning contract itself and harm

the wearer. If you encounter such a situation, you must decisively

dispel the projection and end the summoning.

"Its negative effects is Blood Thirsting Disease. You will need to drink

at least one blood vial of human blood every hour to relieve it.

Otherwise, your blood will boil and evaporate. In less than fifteen

minutes, it can cause the death of a Baron."

*I'm not against that. I do yearn to drink blood more frequently, but

the problem is that I'm unable to obtain that much blood...*

Emlyn held back his joy and agitation as he considered how he could

resolve the negative effects.

At this moment, Cosmi turned to glance at him.

"The additional blood will be provided by the race."

*Then the problem turns into the modification of a bottle so as to carry

around that much blood...* Emlyn scanned the other Sanguine who

wore looks of envy and jealousy as he asked, "If I don't wear it, will I

get the Blood Thirsting Disease?"

"No." Cosmi firmly shook his head.

Emlyn stared at Lilith's Ring and asked again, "If I were to wear it for

59 minutes and take it off, will I get the Blood Thirsting Disease?"

Cosmi's facial muscles twitched as he said, "When you wear the ring, you

will be inflicted with the Blood Thirsting Disease. You have to drink

one vial of human blood to have it subside for an hour. During this

process, if you were to take it off and put it on again, the Blood

Thirsting Disease will be activated again. Regardless of whether it's

been an hour or not, you'll have to drink blood again. Do you understand

what I'm saying?"

"Of course, this isn't a complicated problem," Emlyn said with a tsk.

Cosmi retracted his gaze and looked at the other Sanguine.

"I'll be giving this ring to the champion of this hunting competition,

Emlyn White.

"Congratulations, Emlyn." He turned and extended his right hand towards

Emlyn to shake his hand.

Then, he handed over the blood-colored Lilith's Ring to Emlyn.

"Thank you." Emlyn smiled in a reserved manner.

Cosmi stopped looking at him as he said to the other Sanguine, "There

are two targets left. They are your prey, and there will still be a

reward for them."

At 10 p.m. above the gray fog.

Klein received Leymano's Travels which Emlyn had sacrificed, and he

learned of the usage of the so-called Lilith's Ring.

*The other aspects aren't noteworthy, but the thing to pay attention to

is the Door of Summoning which leads deep into the spirit world...

Perhaps there will come a day when the one passing through that door is

an ancient goddess, Lilith... Of course, many conditions need to be

met...* As Klein made a bold hypothesis, he flipped open

Leymano's Travels and checked the Beyonder powers which Emlyn had used

and replenished.

*He used up all of the Lightning Strikes. Traveling is gone as well...

This fellow really doesn't feel the pinch when using the powers of

others...*

*He added a Wings of Darkness. It can help the user receive an

enhancement in speed and the ability of brief flight, as well as it

transforming into a colony of illusory blood-sucking bats to attack the

enemy...*

*One is Full Moon. It can make a certain region appear to be in the

state of a full moon. One's spirituality would be rejuvenated and the

aspect of death would grow stronger... This is recorded from Lilith's

Ring...*

*One is Claw of Corrosion. It can cause one's fingernails to grow

another segment with mysterious symbols and patterns. They would be

sharp enough to slice through steel. It would also come with potent

corrosive abilities, making it the nemesis of defensive methods like

scales and skin...*

*One is Animal Sense. It can communicate with animals and control them

while also sharing their senses... If used well, this has wondrous

effects... Heh, I've never seen Emlyn use it before. What a

waste...*

*One is Abyss Shackles. It's a spell belonging to the darkness domain.

It can make the darkness or shadows condense into a chain that controls

or restrains the enemy...*

*There's no Door of Summoning... That's right. It should be very

difficult to record. With Emlyn's personality, he would've given up

after a few failures...* As Klein flipped through Leymano's

Travels, he used divination and his mysticism knowledge to interpret the

new Beyonder powers.

Retracting his gaze, he summoned the Sea God Scepter over, added a few

pages of Lightning Strike. This was in line with his fear of lacking

firepower.

Then, Klein used the Sun Brooch to record Holy Light Summoning and Holy

Water Creation, allowing Leymano's Travels's Beyonder powers to become

more varied.

After doing all of this, he closed the notebook and picked up the Mental

Terror Candle.

After settling the split personality in the afternoon, he didn't

immediately return the mystical item. Instead, he had the idea that

since it belonged to the Spectator domain, it was possible that it could

help him explore the sea of collective subconscious inside Groselle's

Travels. Therefore, he planned on delaying it for half a day before

returning it to Emlyn.

To his surprise, he found from his research that the Mental Terror

Candle didn't have any effects of placating the mind or eliminating

negative emotions. All it could do was let one enter the depths of a

target's mind, and from there, one could plant a cue or resolve a

problem.

Phew... Klein heaved a sigh of relief. Through the bestowment

ritual, he returned the Mental Terror Candle and Leymano's Travels to

Emlyn and Fors respectively.

Returning to the real world, he had a comfortable bath, and he read some

papers and magazines before heading to bed.

Amidst his reverie, Klein suddenly woke up, aware that someone had

entered his dream.

He saw the scene before him change as the sky was dark and deep. They

were adorned with resplendent diamonds that left him awed and serene.

A distance away, a singing voice sounded. The ethereal and common voice

reached straight into his heart.

Meanwhile, the clouds moved as the crimson moon half-revealed itself,

scattering down its mild glow.

All of this made Klein feel as though he had arrived in the Evernight

Goddess's divine kingdom. In the dream, he felt relaxed and comfortable.

This is... Klein suddenly realized the situation he was in.

This was the arrival of a Beyonder from the Church of the Evernight.

This Beyonder was using the dream to placate the tycoon, Dwayne Dantès,

so as to heal the mental scars he suffered in the afternoon.

What you are doing only disturbs my sleep! Klein silently

sighed helplessly.
