Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Consider Yourself Lucky!
Becoming this human’s Beastbond would restrict her ability.
Now, at the Monarch Peak level....
it might drop to Commander Tier Two!
But using the Blood Clan’s unique Blood Covenant...
would eliminate this concern.
The two parties in a Blood Covenant have an equal cooperative relationship.
She can not only establish a connection with this human, ensuring the Divine Pattern does not decay.
But also maintain her own power!
When this human truly grows in the future....
she can then choose to become this human’s Beastbond!
The best of both worlds!
Moreover....
Although she doesn’t dislike this human, she’s far from willing to become their Beastbond.
Therefore, the Blood Covenant is the best choice!
However, the contract requires time to prepare...
Before that—
she must first control this demonic entity!
Bloodlight flourished in Lilith’s eyes, and her blood energy surged continuously around her.
On the other side, the demonic entity that had been struck finally stabilized its form.
He squinted his eyes, staring intently at Aster Grant.
This human...
No wonder he could acquire the Divine Pattern.
Even when a Monarch Peak demonic entity personally attacked, he was still able to withstand it.
But he also realized...
That golden barrier seems to be usable only once.
A cruel arc formed at the corner of his mouth.
This Commander Tier Two human is not worth noticing.
Then, his gaze shifted to Lilith.
She’s his real opponent!
At this moment, he looked at Lilith with a hint of mockery in his eyes:
"My dear Lord Blood Progenitor, we meet again~"
"This time, can you still escape?"
During this period, he had figured everything out.
Lilith must have used the power of the Divine Pattern to leave behind contingencies.
Otherwise, relying solely on the Blood Clan’s power to leave behind a body would never have escaped his perception.
And now—
The power of the Divine Pattern couldn’t be used again in a short time!
He no longer needed to worry about Lilith escaping again.
"Lord Blood Progenitor," he displayed a bit of temptation, "the previous terms still stand."
"As long as you hand over the Divine Pattern, I will not only let you leave but also help you deal with these Blood Clan members."
It is much more dangerous to oppose Lilith than to oppose those Blood Clan members.
If Lilith could be convinced to voluntarily hand over the Divine Pattern.
This would undoubtedly be the best outcome!
Just...
A chilling glint flashed through Lilith’s blood-red pupils.
Having lived countless years, how could she be deceived by such inept lies?
Once she hands over the Divine Pattern, life and death would be at the mercy of the opponent...
Moreover, she was already determined.
Though she didn’t turn back, her voice reached Aster Grant’s ears.
"Aster, prepare to forge a Blood Covenant with me!"
Aster was taken aback when he heard this.
Blood Covenant?
What Blood Covenant?
His understanding of the Blood Clan was already limited.
Moreover...
The Blood Covenant Lilith mentioned wasn’t something ordinary Blood Clan members could access.
But at this moment.
Vera suddenly flashed out from the Beastbond Space, her small face full of shock.
Having inherited some memories, she understood what the Blood Covenant meant to the Blood Clan.
But given the current situation...
Even if Lilith made no request, her master would offer his blood to help Lilith recover her power.
After all, Aster couldn’t just watch as the many Monarch Level leaders of The Crimson See all fall.
The humans would suffer extreme losses.
So why would Lilith propose a Blood Covenant?
But the Blood Covenant...
Vera suddenly turned back, her emerald eyes spotting the rebellious Blood Clan members.
Her pupils contracted as if she understood something.
It’s the Divine Pattern!
It must be the influence of the Divine Pattern!
She recalled the abnormality when she acquired the Divine Pattern.
Under normal circumstances, as the last member of the Elven Race, the Divine Pattern should be in an extremely weakened state.
When she initially began fusing with the Divine Pattern, that was indeed the case.
But...
As time went on, she discovered...
The decayed Divine Pattern began to slowly recover and was even increasing in power visibly.
And now that nearly all Blood Clan members have rebelled, if Lilith purges them—
The Divine Pattern might weaken to the point of near-dissipation!
Therefore.
Lilith proposed to form a Blood Covenant with her master....
Perhaps she discovered that the Divine Pattern would strengthen in Aster’s presence.
But Lilith didn’t want to become Aster’s Beastbond, so she settled for a Blood Covenant instead.
Thinking of this, she immediately approached Aster, grabbing his sleeve:
"Master, agree to it! The Blood Covenant can only benefit us!"
Aster turned to look at his little elf for a moment.
He would undoubtedly trust his Beastbond unconditionally.
Since Vera also gave her consent...
he had no reason to hesitate!
In front of Aster.
"Blood Domain: Prison!"
Lilith’s blood energy erupted violently, scarlet energy surged madly like a living creature.
"Boom——"
A towering blood wave instantly condensed around the demonic entity, transforming into a dark red cage that trapped it tightly.
But the cost of this strike was evident.
Lilith’s figure swayed slightly, her face pale as paper beneath her blood-red hair.
Obviously, this move almost exhausted all of Lilith’s strength.
Having done all this, Lilith suddenly turned around.
She could sense that the domain prison could barely maintain...
Thirty seconds!
Thus, she must seize the time to make the Blood Covenant with Aster.
In her original state, Lilith was behind and close to Aster.
Those eyes, as if dripping with blood, were locked firmly on Aster:
"Human, make a Blood Covenant with me!"
"Alright!"
Aster agreed without hesitation.
This straightforward answer actually left Lilith stunned.
The speech she had prepared was all stuck in her throat.
But after reconsideration...
If Aster was willing to make a contract with her, it was a good thing!
She glanced sideways at the demonic entity trapped in the Blood Domain.
"Crack... crack..."
Cracks had already started appearing on the surface of the Blood Domain.
Lilith’s heart tightened.
With her current strength, it was already the limit to trap a Monarch Peak for this long...
There was no time to delay!
"You got lucky..."
Lilith suddenly pulled Aster into her embrace, the action so quick that Aster couldn’t react in time.
Her sharp fangs instantly pierced the skin on Aster’s neck, and warm blood immediately flowed into her mouth.
This is...
Aster only felt a moment of dizziness but oddly no pain.
As Lilith drank his blood, her blood-red eyes burned even more brightly, the blood energy around her swept up like a storm.
Blood-red energy coiled around them in layers, soon enveloping both completely and forming a massive Blood Cocoon.
"Boom——"
On the other side, the demonic entity finally tore apart the Blood Domain prison.
Its expression twisted into a snarl!
"The second time!"
"Not only did he fail against that Commander Tier Two human, but he also got trapped by Monarch Tier One Lilith!"
Damn it!
His black pupils scanned the battlefield.
Only to see...
where Lilith originally was, a Blood Cocoon had appeared.
What is this?
A sudden sense of dread crept over him.
Inside the Blood Cocoon is Lilith?
But...
Why is this Blood Cocoon’s aura rising at such a rapid pace?
And at an alarming speed!
