Gospel of Blood

Chapter 463: The True Symbol

The girl’s mockery caused the face of the northern boy named Gunnar to darken.Without saying much, he let out a cold snort as the pale blue glow burst forth from his body again, and he swung his sword at Astrid.

“Big sister!”

“Watch out!”

Astrid’s companions let out a series of exclamations.

Astrid’s expression grew serious. She clenched her teeth, enduring the pain in her body, and quickly raised her sword to block the attack.

Gunnar sneered. The pale blue glow gathered on his sword’s edge, enveloped in violent magic and primal fury pressed down on the girl.

With a resounding crash, Astrid felt an overwhelming force descend upon her like a falling mountain, crushing her to the ground. She couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Totem power…

Unlike the holy light bestowed upon the God-cherished priests in the Holy Court, this ancient “faith power” of the Myria northern tribes, infused with belief, was beyond what the common extraordinary could resist.

“Astrid, you have lost.”

Gunnar approached the girl, looking down at her from above.

“Cheating! You cheated! Using totem power in an honor challenge is cheating!”

The youths beside the old woman shouted angrily at the glowing Gunnar.

Gunnar’s followers sneered.

“Cheating? There were no rules against using totem power before the challenge began! Besides, Lord Gunnar is using totem power, you can use it too!”

“Oh, we forgot, you are those false believers who worship absurd legends as totems. You don’t even have a totem that can provide totem power!”

The youths were smug. However, the expression of Marquis Vladimir, standing nearby, was not pleased.

The use of totem power, the most common extraordinary force among the northern tribes since ancient times, indicated that Gunnar hadn’t abandoned totem worship.

Noticing Marquis Vladimir’s gaze, Gunnar respectfully bowed and said,

“Marquis, please forgive me for using totem power in battle. My claim of converting to the great God is not false. Our shaman has said that retaining our own totem and worshiping the Lord does not conflict.”

“The Great Divine is always merciful, allowing true Gods to become His subordinate Gods. Our High Priest has already communicated with the totem spirit through shamanic rituals. Our totem spirit is willing to submit to the Lord and is fully qualified to become His subordinate God!”

Despite Gunnar’s words, Marquis Vladimir’s expression didn’t improve.

Next to the marquis, Sebastian also wore a peculiar expression. As a servant of the great True Ancestor and the vanguard of spreading the True Ancestor’s faith to the North, he had thoroughly re

“Look into your heart carefully. Look at… what the Lord’s symbol should truly look like.”

The mysterious voice echoed in her mind. As the voice spoke, Astrid felt the totem imprint of the Savior in her heart begin to change!

The broken vines gradually joined, and the incomplete pattern was slowly restored. A familiar symbol composed of thorns and roses, glowing crimson, emerged in Astrid’s mind…

A sense of intimacy and excitement, rooted in her blood and soul, rose in Astrid’s heart.
