'Mmmm This is bloodline appraisal! A test that pertains to the very core of the soul! Even with my breakthrough my ability aren't enough to pass this myself but...' Freya looked at it with a strange smile, ' ..I'm confident that I can pass through with no problems with the hiding ability and preparation that Leylin made, the identification proof is a problem. Even still It was a good choice to depend on the insider, after all, I really can't invade the holy city's core database and create a fake history. My identify have too many loopholes…'
Freya looked cheerful and happy on the outside, which Thomas took to be a accomplishment on his part.
"You're very lucky! You should know that very few half bloods like you can stay in the holy city for a full year!" Thomas lost himself in his character and started boast uncontrollably trying to establish superiority.
"Thomas!" Aegnis furrowed, no one liked to be called half blood or useless and listening to Thomas although he was only merely showing off courting the girls, it still created an awkward moment as both Freya and Belinda looked unhappy.
"Oh I didn't meant—"
"It's okay Lord Thomas, you don't have to apologize it's your great favour which allowed me to come here, Thank you." Freya immediately chided saving Thomas face, as he looked at her gratefully seemingly pleased with her attitude.
"Come, Freya! This is the residence permit that I especially requested for you. As long as you bind it to your bloodline and soul, you will be recognised as free citizens of the holy city!"
Aegnis smiled slightly, producing one jade-green crystal cards. From the envious gazes from the half- or even pure-blooded snake beings, this should be amazing items.
"Thank you so much, Aegnis!" Freya took the crystal card. With this identification, she could join organisations under the Snake Dowager's command and more importantly she easily got the authority to stay here making her coming days very easy. This is the perk of being pleasing to the eyes, even just a moment ago when Thomas inappropriately insulted half blood, Aegnis did retort but was keenly gauging Freya's respond to comprehend her feelings, and from Freya answer she found her more pleasing.
"Yeah! Sister Freya would live with us now too!" Sophia jumped around with an innocent sweet smile on her face.
Aegnis rubbed at her feelings resisting the urge to pinch Sophia chubby cheeks.
"I am in your debt, permanent residence permits must be very hard to take care of in the holy city, I have troubled you."Freya smiled slightly, gazing at residence permit.
Seeing that Freya seemed very cordial, Aegnis shook her hands, "Though permanent residence permit are hard to get but for the Stewart Family it's nothing much, you are now my friend too so don't worry about it."
Belinda peeked at Freya slightly happy. She had obviously noticed that Aegnis was very good to this friend of hers and even Freya seems to hit it off quite well. For Belinda both of them are very good friend and she is obviously pleased to see them bond.
'This pattern… Even with a sample, it's not easy for the A.I. Chip to make another one. On top of that… what's more troublesome is the soul and bloodline binding!' Freya eyes flashed, as Leylin sent her to Purgatory World he obviously bestowed an artificially crafted A. I. Chip to her which has been very helpful throughout her journey. Freya discovered how the chip had unbelievable scanning, probing, analyzing, storing and sorting ability. It was filled with huge amounts of high level top tier Magus World data and automatically help her in various situation including keeping her identify safe for so long.
"Alright! Since you now have the pass, please bind it to you. If the permits are lost, things will get very troublesome, so please keep it well and love them as you love your eyes!"
Aegnis spoke with an accent.
"The binding ceremony is very simple. Drip a droplet of blood and then use your spiritual force to scan the detection runes!"
With Aegnis' guidance and Belinda insistence, Freya and dripped her blood onto the crystal card. Once the dark red liquid touched the card, it was like water reaching sponge and was absorbed.
In the next instant, the whole green crystal card shone brilliantly and with flowing luster, Freya's image emerged.
"Boo hoo… Sister Freya, are you okay?" Seeing how Freya had to bleed as well as remembering her experience, Sophia's eyes were full of fear.
Such a pitiful stance immediately had Aegnis on the verge of turning into a big bad wolf.
"Keke… it's okay, little Sofia. It's nothing much."
When Freya was done with the procedure, with Aegnis in the lead, they passed through a round arched door. Of course, there were sculptures ahead.
*Hss hss!*The miniature sculptures were even more intricate. They were made of some crystals similar to rocks, and especially the faces were carved very vividly, their eyes seeming to be connected to some enigmatic soul
Belinda and Sophia passed by, and the sculpture produced green and tender rays.
[Currently concealing with bloodline of Alabaster Devilsnake. Beast spirit undulations covering. Preparation to activate Feather of Chaos at anytime. Cry Devil Pain Trigram imitation undulation of «Hands of Hades» on stand by.]
Along with the A.I. Chip's voice, Freya took a deep breath and passed through the formless boundary.
"Hss hss!" The eyes of the sculpture immediately produced green, tender rays, and caused Freya to sigh in relief. She was obviously a bit afraid even through she knew that the livelihood of being caught is too low, the escape method of Leylin imitating «Hands of Hades» was able to keep the attention of dignitaries away when she entered Purgatory World let alone the Serpent Sculpture. She also had the Feather Of Chaos bestowed by Nefarious Featherbird when she gifted multiple high ranking sacrificers of Trail Eye to him.
Immediately after, she was dazzled by lights.
Once Freya got used to it, she began to size up the holy city of all descendants of the Snake Dowager.
On the ground, walls and even in the sky, a thin layer of light lined the area, causing everything to seem glorious.
The giant sculpture at the heart was filled with milky-white rays like a shining human being, giving off the feeling of holiness.
[Beep! Detected large amounts of radiation undulations. Curse Mark is being flared.]
The A.I. Chip intoned, while Belinda and Sophia beside her had a flush on their faces, looking intoxicated. Even their undulations were reinforced, and they obviously had obtained some benefits.
[Beep! Affected by Snake Dowager's undulations. Variation to Curse Mark of Ten Thousand Snakes, increasing corroding ability.] [Curse of Corrosion– High grade variation of the curse mark. After entering region of Snake Dowager's influence, Host's life force will constantly be absorbed till death. The process is irreversible.]
"*Sigh* After my breakthrough she was aware of my existence but despite knowing I was here in Purgatory World she couldn't find me, and realising she can't find me, she's used this method to force me to show myself!" Freya shook her head wryly thinking about the situation.
After fifty years of hard word following Leylin guidance to acquire and utilize the resources here to push her strength to advancement at a rapid speed, as well as walking down the path of both Sacrificers and Beast Spirit Master, the two traditional path of Purgatory World Freya was ultimately able to cross the threshold of bloodline shackles of Giant Kemoyin Serpent and advanced to Radiant Moon Kemoyin Emperor.
This advancement and ability to breakthrough bloodline shackles is definitely not easy, if not for Leylin exhausting all of his knowledge of Purgatory World installing it on Freya as well as the assistance of A. I. Chip she would never have the ability to touch this realm.
But she did, and this advancement caused a stir for Snake Dowager who was startled to make this discovery, since ancient times there hasn't been the rise of any Emperor in the whole Kemoyin clan but astonishingly enough not one but two have reached this realm. One was from Magus World and was speeding very quickly towards the higher level of Radian Moon and as she was about to act, that emperor forfeit it's legitimacy accepting her reign as the ruler of all serpents or so she thought.
Obviously there was an odd feeling of foreboding that also fested in her mind as through something or someone stalking to prey on her. And as she was prying open the secrets of her foreboding by comprehending the river of destiny another anomaly occurred with the rise of another Kemoyin Emperor.
Snake Dowager was even more alerted because this happened in Purgatory World and even more incensed because she couldn't find the new contender! For this to happen must mean that the new Kemoyin emperor has joined another dignitaries side which was similar to revolting against her reign. This was an unforgivable crime but even with multiple large scale scanning, and search she still couldn't find that person and neither pull them into Dreamscape to deal with it.
Snake Dowager could also feel that the new Emperor was advancing at a rapid speed too. Freya obviously had some tricks up her sleeves and after her breakthrough and increase in strength a lot of things previously difficult become doable, for example killing Belinda's Father and making him into her Beast Spirit as his Rank 5 undulation kept nourishing her soul empowering her rapidly.
This is a huge taboo making someone from the serpent bloodline, the descendants of Almighty Mother of Snakes their beast spirit is tantamount to insulting her dignitary and holiness, such a person would be chased through the ends of the world once exposed and they can only hide keeping their identify unknown.
But this was important for Freya to increase her strength and so she didn't hesitate, and feeling the rise in her ability and constant failure in finding her Snake Dowager was left with no choice but user her power as the ruler of serpent bloodline, wielder of bloodline law and Liege status to curse Freya to damnation.
Feeling the life force in her body unceasingly being seized from her body, and her body heading towards death gradually, Freya lips quirked in a smile instead, "To resort to such an extreme method, you must have no other choice. With the weakening of Dreamscape Snake Dowager powers have dwindled a lot, obviously even with a small fraction of her strength she can squash me like an ant but.....this method means she cannot find me and if you can't find even me how would you escape Leylin grand scheme!"
Freya was faintly excited thinking about this and also relieved, Leylin was taking a huge step and would most definitely incensed and offend some extremely powerful existence in the process and if he fails there is no escape route and way of retention.
'Let's not think about that, one step at a time. For now this curse is pretty annoying, It's not just my bloodline and soul force, but even my life force is being absorbed by the curse, subduing my strength.'
In the holy city, where the Snake Dowager's radiations were the most concentrated, with the the Curse Mark of Ten Thousand Snakes increasing in intensity, Freya would probably be reduced to pile of bones if she could not solve the bloodline shackles quickly before her vitality runs out.
Freya raised her arm, her pale ivory skin and cells full of life. However, she could feel a sense of losing something.
Under the effects of the corrosion, her body's life energy is quickly dissipating. Though there aren't obvious changes on the outside, in just a few years time, her appearance will become that of an old person… Even with appearance changing techniques, it wouldn't be able to conceal these changes. For a women is nothing sort of an horrifying malicious curse in itself to loose her beauty and youth but currently it was least of her concern with her life on the line.
Freya smiled wryly. She had a feeling that this sort of complex curse would have even worse effects the closer she got to the Snake Dowager.
This would go on till the day the curse mark completely flared up and ruined her soul, causing her to die, or until she would be discovered by the Snake Dowager.
Freya brushed the back of her hand thinking about Leylin words as they immediately appeared in her mind, "Such power restrictions is really annoying but the greater the pressure, the worse the backlash! I can't wait to see the day where we destroy these restraints and soar!"
'Rumours say the Snake Dowager favours the holy city, granting huge benefits to all her descendants.' Freya thought, watching the siblings who were drunk on the feeling even after living here for a while. Truth be told, the holy city is just affected by the presence of her main body. The radiation from it refines their bloodlines.
Of course, there was a limit to this process. However, the guarantee that their bloodlines wouldn't deteriorate was enough for all of them to scramble here without delay.
Pity. This sort of high energy radiation is basically poison to her now. Sensing the curse mark continuously absorbing radiation and gaining strength, Freya could only smile wryly. The Allsnake Curse had been suppressed which is the work of her mask given by Leylin, Freya was still shocked to find that Leylin already thought of all the possibile angle of retaliation from Snake Dowager and blocked them swiftly even before the problem arose, but even with the mask the closer she was to the Snake Dowager the more obvious the flare ups would become.
Hiding any signs of abnormality and taking the initiative to get closer to the Snake Dowager day by day, she was dancing on the edge of a knife.
'But at least I know that the Snake Dowager's main body is close to the holy city.' Freya's eyes lit up. Just for that, she had to stay here in spite of the threat to her life.
