129. Holy Song
Time seemed to stand still as Alicia’s singing echoed in every corner of the room.
The voice was clear, ethereal, incredibly gentle yet holy and pure, as if a tender mother was comforting a hurt child, or as if the Holy Light that could eliminate all darkness and evil in the world had descended.
This was the Holy Song, passed down from the distant Divine Era, created by people imitating the words of deities to develop divine skills.
Originally a skill exclusive to clerics, Alicia, as an all-purpose warrior, mastered every profession and every skill, even the Holy Song of the current First Saintess of the Sacred Domain, Light Saintess Elweiss, came from Alicia’s teachings.
The others nearby stood in a daze, all engrossed in that marvelous singing.
And Elrose, as the former Shadow Demon King, had the deepest comprehension of this song.
The greatest characteristic of the Holy Song was its ability to break curses, dispel evil, and purify.
As the embodiment of humanity’s dark side, the Shadow Demon regarded the Holy Song as its natural enemy.
Once, he had witnessed a large-scale human extermination campaign, where those clerics sang in unison, and he almost got exorcised on the spot by that massive AOE.
But at this moment, hearing this sacred song again felt entirely different.
“What a wonderful song,” Elrose sighed from the heart.
“Yes,” Luna softly agreed, and even though she held intense hostility towards Alicia, her gaze towards Alicia was filled with admiration.
She certainly knew Alicia was singing the Holy Song; every believer sang the Holy Song during worship.
During worship services, they would chant the Holy Song. She had heard Saya’s Holy Song before, which was also beautiful, but compared to the song sung by Alicia at this moment, it was obviously not on the same level.
“Alicia, you’re amazing,” Luna couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Of course she’s amazing,” Kendrick replied, his emotions surging, finding it hard to describe his excitement. In any case, all words combined would still come down to one phrase: “My Lord Hero is incredible, truly worthy of being My Lord Hero.”
And across from them,
Under the baptism of the Holy Song, Lilith’s spirit gradually became stable, the speed at which she absorbed blood continuously decreasing, and the strength restraining Alicia was also getting weaker.
Alicia took this opportunity to sing the Holy Song while slowly re-engraving the Bloodline Sealing Magic Formation on Lilith.
“Ahhh!” Lilith let out a painful scream.
Seeing this, Alicia gently patted her head, smiling softly: “Don’t worry, good child, you’ll be fine.”
As she spoke, Alicia’s singing reached its peak, directly suppressing the violent instincts of the Blood Clan to their utmost limits.
The Bloodline Sealing Magic Formation operated rapidly, finally completing the loop, and was instantly imprinted onto Lilith.
The awakening of the bloodline was interrupted once more.
Lilith’s body went limp and suddenly collapsed into Alicia’s embrace.
She noticed the two bloody holes on Alicia’s fair neck where she had bitten. A feeling of guilt filled her heart.
“Alicia, I’m so sorry,” Lilith confessed.
“It’s alright, it’s alright.” Alicia gently patted her head, continuously comforting her: “People can’t choose their birth, it’s not your fault.”
After tidying up the room and treating the wounds on Alicia and Lilith, everyone headed down to the hall on the first floor and gathered around the table.
Lilith’s eyes were filled with gratitude: “Thank you, Alicia, for saving me.”
“Haha, it’s what I should do.” Alicia smiled slightly: “Oh, and also, this time we were able to bring you back safely, it was largely thanks to Elrose’s help, you should thank her too.”
“Really?” Lilith slowly turned her head to look at Elrose, “Thank you, Elrose.”
“It’s nothing,” Elrose replied gently, then slowly took out an object from her bosom and placed it on the table, “By the way, Lilith, where did you get this?”
Everyone’s gaze immediately focused on the red pendant on the table, all frowning.
Clearly, even Kendrick and the others did not know about the existence of this pendant.
“This is… something my father left for me before he died. He said… it belonged to my mother.” Lilith sighed softly, “At the same time, this is the only clue I have for finding that person.”
“I see.” Elrose lowered her head in thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up intensely, “If that’s the case, then there’s something we must discuss.”
Elrose took a deep breath, her expression incredibly serious: “Lilith, I suggest you give up your spot in the Expeditionary Force and not go to the Blood Clan’s territory.”
“Huh? Why?” Lilith immediately looked confused.
“Well… explaining this might be a bit complicated, but to put it simply, if you go to the Blood Clan, I believe there’s a high probability you won’t be able to come back.”
Elrose picked up the pendant on the table and toyed with it for a moment.
“Although I don’t know why your mother left this for you, I can roughly guess your identity through this.”
“Lilith, you… might be the Little Princess of the Blood Clan.”
“What did you say?!” Everyone present gasped in unison.
“The… Little Princess of the Blood Clan?”
Lilith was taken aback for a moment and then couldn’t help but laugh, “Come on, Elrose, that’s not funny. Why are you joking at a time like this?”
“I’m not joking; I’m serious.” Elrose replied with a calm expression: “Actually, when I first heard your surname, I already had some suspicions. Lilith, you probably don’t know, but the current queen of the Blood Clan, sitting on that supreme throne, has the full name Keli Lulu Caipesi.”
“Huh?!!!!”
A huge gasp echoed in the hall again, and this time even Alicia couldn’t sit still.
“No, Elrose, how do you know about these things?” Alicia asked, puzzled.
The Blood Clan is one of the seven high-ranking clans in the Netherrealm, and the Blood Demon King… isn’t that the Demon King?!
That’s a figure standing at the pinnacle of the Netherrealm and even the world.
With the current humans exhausting all their technology, they can only barely approach the edges of the territories of the seven major clans, and the information they can obtain is extremely limited, especially about the Demon Kings.
How did Elrose come to know such critical information about the true name of the Demon King?
Elrose shot a somewhat irritated glance at Alicia.
Seriously, why does that annoying woman have so many questions?
Knowing is knowing, why ask how I know?
That pink-haired loli queen’s soul has been consumed by me, and her memories have been completely digested. Not to mention her name, I know all her secrets.
For instance, that seemingly harmless little loli was actually a ruthless sadist behind the scenes.
Also, she’s an extreme beauty connoisseur who loves handsome men, but she always ends up being too rough, and those brothers can barely last long before being spoiled.
Thinking of this, Elrose gently glanced at Alicia, who was in male clothing next to her.
Tsk tsk tsk, thinking about it, in this state, if she fell into the hands of the Blood Clan queen, she would probably just end up getting played.
“Achoo!”
“Achoo!”
Alicia and Lilith sneezed at the same time.
