Chapter 433 Abraham's Children
The ritual for vampires to ascend to demigod status is very simple, requiring them to truly gain the approval of the "moon".
This surprised everyone in the Tarot Club, because the ritual felt somewhat abstract. However, they quickly came up with various interpretations. The only things that could represent the moon were the long-deceased progenitor of the vampires, Lilith, the goddess of the night known as the Crimson Mother, and, more directly, the primordial moon.
But none of these three issues are easy to resolve.
In what ways can "angels" help?
Moreover, isn't this extraordinary ritual for ascending to demigod a bit too demanding?
Even Emlyn himself felt it was harsh. How did those vampire demigods advance to the top before... But then he thought, this doesn't make sense. As the vampire savior chosen by the progenitor, he had already gained the Moon's approval. Why would he need to give up a Moon paper doll?
"Mr. Angel, is it possible that I have already gained the moon's approval?"
Emlyn raised his chin slightly, clearly still very confident, with a hint of pride and showing off.
"Did you get it? I can't tell."
Shael shook his head; he didn't want to dampen the spirits of this adorable vampire boy.
But given Emlyn's current state, he probably hasn't even obtained Lilith's Ring, a Level 1 sealed artifact that was connected to Lilith in the original timeline. He's just a self-proclaimed savior, and he doesn't even know where to find the extraordinary characteristics of a Sequence 4 upgrade, let alone gain the Moon's approval.
"Ahem, I know you might not believe it, but I am actually the savior of the vampires as prophesied by the progenitor."
"Originally, I didn't intend to tell you this secret, but since Mr. Angel also comes from an angel family, knows about the legends of the apocalypse, and has some connection with our vampire clan, I'm revealing it to you."
Emlyn was somewhat resentful and selectively revealed some secrets.
"oh."
Xia Er nodded slightly and didn't continue, which was taken as a sign of her belief.
The other members of the Tarot Club found it interesting. Audrey, as an audience member, could tell that "The Moon" wasn't lying, but the Angel's reaction of not arguing, refuting, or agreeing... seemed a bit off.
Alger and Cattleya were completely incredulous. What a joke! The vampires, a supernatural race with angels, must have gone mad to make Mr. Moon their savior.
Xia Er looked at Fors, who was watching the show with great interest. "I'll come find you later."
Really?!
"The Magician" Fors was initially delighted, but after considering the occasion, his face turned slightly red.
But she quickly realized how the "angel" knew she had something to discuss with him; she had originally planned to wait until everyone had finished talking before speaking.
"I also need to talk to you about something."
Fors quickly replied that her matter was simple: her teacher, Dorian Grey Abraham, was planning to be promoted to Sequence 4 Mystic and hoped that Xia'er could come and help look after him.
This can be considered as the trust that the Abraham family has placed in Shael. Dorian intends to use his own life to test Shael one last time. If Shael is indeed willing to help the Abraham family, then that's good, and the Abraham family will have to surrender afterwards.
"Let's talk about it when we meet later."
Chael nodded, and the two reached an agreement. Only Emlyn was left there, questioning his life choices, because Chael seemed to believe it, but also seemed not to.
The real world.
Chael met Dorian and Fors in an abandoned warehouse in the East District.
But this is clearly not a good place to hold a promotion ceremony and conversation.
Dorian, who was already a Sequence 5 Traveler, activated the teleportation, and Shael and the others arrived at a wilderness.
"If I am promoted, the entire Abraham family will remember your kindness."
Dorian was clearly somewhat excited, but he still maintained the etiquette that the Angel Family had long since abandoned.
"Of course, you can try it boldly. I can at least guarantee that you will survive in the end."
Xia Er nodded. Fors was a little nervous, but considering Xia Er's strength, she was able to remain calm.
The ascension ceremony for "Arcanist" is relatively simple, requiring only that the ascensionist seal a demigod-level creature with clear hostility.
It is best not to use external force in this process, as it is said to be a special requirement of the ritual, which requires the demigod-level being to place the subject's emotions, such as hatred, on himself.
"I'm starting."
Dorian nodded. His plan was to release a demigod-level creature that had gone completely mad and was acting solely on instinct from the "Demon Painting," thus saving him the trouble of finding a real demigod.
Using the demonic oil painting, he summoned a terrifying demigod-level creature. Then, without wasting much time, and under Fors's worried gaze, he took out a scepter, the Star Staff, a level 0 sealed artifact of the Abraham family.
This demigod-level creature didn't last long before it was resealed, leaving Fors completely stunned.
Dorian seemed to know all of the monster's abilities. He anticipated all the attacks when the monster was about to launch one, and sealed the monster away with the help of the Demon Painting. Then he took a sip of the magic potion and looked at Shael with an expression of waiting for judgment or resignation to fate.
"Your Excellency, I wish to personally uncover the truth behind the curse on the bloodline of the Abraham family."
"If I perish, I hope you can help me return this sealed artifact to the Abraham family."
As Dorian spoke, with a death wish, he deliberately crushed the protective talisman given to him by Shael to shield him from the full moon curse. He heard terrifying babbling sounds exploding in his ears. The babbling sounds brought by the super spiritual power almost made him lose control on the spot.
However, the level 0 sealed artifact in his hand, the Star Staff, lit up. Dorian, who was prepared, barely managed to simulate abilities such as mind healing and mental barriers through his backup plan. Then, through the connection brought by the sealed artifact, the special features during his advancement, and the guidance of his own bloodline, he saw a world surrounded by endless darkness and lightning.
Is this ancient Hermetic?
At this moment, Dorian could even hear some emotional fluctuations in the language, a sound that seemed to be painful, tinged with sorrow, yet filled with a frenzied roar. This soul-shattering sound almost shattered his brain, but nothing happened.
An invisible barrier stood between them, seemingly separating life and death.
"Are you a descendant of the Abrahamic family?"
The voice was calm, yet tinged with nostalgia and感慨.
