"Phantom Rebirth: The Last White Raven’s Path to the Ultimate Assassin"-Chapter 370: The Sanguine Voidfire Card – A Power Beyond Time
A Stirring Within
The cold breeze of
Raven’s Perch
carried the scent of the ocean, the distant caws of seabirds echoing through the fortress. The battle was long over, yet the island still felt
alive
, as though it pulsed with the remnants of magic and bloodshed.
Seraphis stood in her private quarters, the dim candlelight flickering across the stone walls. A strange sensation curled in her chest—a
pull, a whisper, a shift.
"Again?"
She had felt this before.
It had happened after her battle with the vampires—when she unlocked the
Bloodsucker Card.
Her fingers twitched, instinctively reaching for the deck of playing cards at her side. The moment she touched them, the entire deck
shuddered
in her grasp, as if responding to her presence.
And then—
a new card slid out.
A New Card is Born
Seraphis lifted the new card between her fingers, examining its
black and red design
.
The surface pulsed, almost as if it were alive. The deep crimson veins running across the pitch-black surface glowed faintly, and when she turned it under the candlelight, the red shimmered like fresh blood.
She narrowed her eyes.
"This… is different."
She could
feel
its essence, the same dark energy as her
Sanguine Voidfire
, yet somehow… refined. More controlled. More potent.
Her lips curved into a slow smile.
"So, you've formed into something beyond just a spell? Interesting."
She
flicked the card
, watching as it spun in the air before returning to her fingers. It carried
the same properties as her spell—but better.
The playing cards were evolving.
The Test Subject – A Boar’s Fate
Excitement flickered through her veins as she made her way to the training grounds.
A large, wild
boar
had been captured earlier in the day—held in chains, its eyes filled with animalistic fury. It
snorted and kicked
, fighting against its bindings.
Seraphis smirked.
"Let’s see what you can do."
With a flick of her wrist, she threw the
Sanguine Voidfire Card
at the creature.
The moment the card
touched
the boar’s hide—
the change was instant.
Dark red flames
erupted
from the point of impact, consuming the boar in a swirling, writhing inferno of
Voidfire and Blood Magic.
It did not simply burn.
The flames
drank
.
The boar’s vitality was stripped away in mere seconds—
but not just drained.
The energy flowed
back into Seraphis.
And then—
something unexpected happened.
A Change Within
The energy from the boar
surged into her.
She gasped, feeling a sudden
shift
deep within her body.
It was unlike anything she had ever felt before.
Her skin tingled as
warmth spread through her veins
, but it was not the same overwhelming rush of power that most magic granted. No—this was
different.
Her breath came easier. Her limbs felt
lighter.
The usual tension in her muscles—the fatigue of countless battles—
vanished.
She caught her reflection in the steel of a nearby blade.
And her eyes widened.
"I… look younger?"
Her already youthful features seemed
even fresher, even smoother.
She touched her face—her skin was
softer, more radiant.
It wasn’t just power.
It was
renewal.
The Sanguine Voidfire Card had not just absorbed
vitality
.
It had
reversed
something in her body.
She wasn’t aging backward—but she felt
rejuvenated.
"This… this is more than just absorbing life force."
The Nature of Her Magic
Most dark magic—
especially blood magic
—came with a cost.
Power like this should have
corrupted
her. Should have
twisted
her mind, her soul.
But Seraphis felt nothing but
clarity.
She clenched her fist, feeling the
raw energy coursing through her veins.
"This magic doesn’t consume me. It doesn’t try to control me."
She had read about magic that
tempted, corrupted, and ensnared.
But her magic…
It
listened
to her.
It
adapted
to her.
It was
a part of her.
Her
White Raven Queen
title held weight, she realized. Maybe it wasn’t just a title. Maybe it was something
deeper.
Maybe that was why she could wield
Voidfire without losing herself.
Maybe that was why she could use
Blood Magic without succumbing to its hunger.
She
wasn’t the prey.
She was the
master.
And now, with this new card—this
Sanguine Voidfire Card
—she had
a weapon unlike any other.
Testing the Limits
She spent hours experimenting.
Throwing the card, commanding it, manipulating the flames.
Each time, the
life force she drained
seemed to
fuel her beyond mere strength.
Her stamina was limitless.
Her wounds
healed faster.
Her mind remained
clear, sharp, focused.
And yet, she did not feel
addicted
to it.
It was not like the vampires, whose bloodlust
controlled
them.
It was not like necromancy, which
corroded
the soul.
It was pure.
Balanced.
Completely
under her control.
Seraphis flicked the card between her fingers,
smirking.
"You’re mine now."
A Weapon Unlike Any Other
By the time dawn broke over
Raven’s Perch
, Seraphis had
perfected
her control over the new card.
The
Sanguine Voidfire Card
wasn’t just a tool for battle—it was
a secret weapon.
One that could make her:
Stronger.
Faster.
More resilient.
Practically untouchable.
And the most terrifying part?
She was just getting started.
