Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint

The vines drank deeply of the blood, thriving as they crept against the current of the blood flow.

Nourished by vampiric energy, the vines stretched their branches and unfurled their leaves, blanketing the crimson river.

"Druidism? No—this is the Tree of Blasphemy’s…"

Hilde, who had once been a member of the Holy Sword Order, and the very one who had stolen a seed from the Tree of Blasphemy, immediately recognized what I was doing.

"As expected of you, Father. You can wield all the Demonic God’s powers, can’t you?"

"Not all of them. Only the ones I know."

"Well, you are the King of Humans. Meaning, you can do anything a human can. Fufu. Now I understand why the Holy Crown Church fears you so much~."

"I wouldn’t be so sure about that."

Just because I had knowledge didn’t mean I could perfectly wield it.

The powers etched into the world by the Demonic Gods could be used by anyone who learned them—

But effectiveness varied wildly depending on the user.

All I had was a more convenient way of using them—

But calling it powerful was… questionable.

"The vines will try to root themselves in Erzebeth."

"While she’s tangled up with them, let’s make our escape."

"Wouldn’t it be better to end this here?"

"Ah, well, you see—the World Tree doesn’t mix well with bloodcraft."

Fortunately, I didn’t need to explain further.

Just then—

The vines, which had been eagerly absorbing blood, suddenly froze.

Then, like serpents, they turned—and set their sights on us.

["Vines that drink blood… curious, but nothing more."]

["If blood flows through them, then they are under my authority."]@@novelbin@@

Erzebeth’s domination spread through the vines, seeping into every tendril.

The once rampant vines, now tainted crimson, hissed like snakes as they turned against me.
