Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel - Chapter 568

Chapter 568: Nora Lends A Hand
“I REFUSE to be like my mother. I’ll Take my destiny by my own hands.” He screamed loudly.

Mulligan on his seat could not help but have a stern expression on his face. After all, he remembered it all too well. Although twins they were, his sister had been born first and he second.

Meaning that it was her right to take the place as the head of the family. However, Mulligan had challenged her for the seat.

Back then, he was a much more ambitious man, and only power was in his sight. His sister had lost the battle between them. However, he had not ended her life in the Arena.

It a was line he could not cross back then as it would have been an insult to the mother that birthed the both of them.

All he could do was point his sword at her neck as he gazed into her heart.

Back then, she had only said this. “I would have given up the seat if you had only asked.”

It was only with his blade against her neck and his eyes gazing into the depths of hers did he realize what he had done. However, it was too late. As per the rules of the family, she was expelled on the spot. And he became the next patriarch.

Mulligan tightened his fist. That day was one of his greatest regrets, and for good reason too.

He had lost his sister.

It was one of the reasons that he had not been surprised when he heard that Arid had come to challenge Mulligan for the position of Heir to the head of the family.

It was easy to sum up that the young man wanted to carry out what should indeed have been his birth right.

After all, if Mulligan had lost, then the person that would have been next in line would not have been Eunid, but Arid.

Arid chuckled loudly, “Eunid, not even the Venom of the Hydra god will stop me from having your head today.”

His words made the Night mistress and the rest of her party frown. After all, the Hydra god was considered a sensitive subject to the Magicians.

But neither of them said or did anything.

On Saying what he said, Arid suddenly waved his hand, ripping apart his armor. His arm revealed the bold Rune that glowed faintly in red light.

This was the same rune that had been gifted to him by Alfred. It was bold and the spiritual energy it gave out was one that was menacing, like flames expanding outward from his arm.

It gave out such a profound aura that it made the elders frown.

“Where did he get such a profound weapon. I can sense that it is even graded.” One Elder commented.

Another nodded in response. “It would seem like this was is his ace weapon. A Rune carved from the body of a core beast. And it seems to be a core beast of incredible quality, either that or it must have been done by an expert craftsman of those dwarfs.”

This was what the elder stated. After all, the purity was just too much. Neither of them thought that this rune might have been carved from the body of an awakened core beast. After all, that was an abomination.

A blatant violation of the accords and could lead to serious trouble not just for Arid but also for the famiuly. After all, the head always takes the blame.

At the same time, Arid Screamed towards the sky. his spiritual energy seemingly multiplying again and again and again and then.

*BOOM!* It happened.

Everyone gasped as they leaned into their chairs.

“Did he just break through?” One of the Elders asked the obvious question which was true. Arid was already at the peak of the bronze realm, but no one could have thought that he would have broken through in this battle.

This made the crowd scream out in joy. After all, this fight just entered a different flavor of interesting all over.

The elders assumed that he might have had an enlightenment of sorts and that was able to break through.

But one as wise as Pangubox thought otherwise, as the old man stared intently at Arid’s arm, “Interesting, a rune mark with a magician’s curse. The person that created such an item must be very wicked or hate the young man altogether.” He spoke in a low tone. One that only those sitting around him who were the other magic users could hear.

“Shit!” Eunid cursed out loud. he was barely able to defend against Arid’s attacks when he was a bronze rank fighter, there was no way in hell would he be able to take one attack from Arid.

Meaning that this was were he was going to die. He was already considering whether he was going to raise a hand and signal that he had given up, but now that he thought of it, that was not what he wanted to do. After all, he was sure that a person like Arid would have someone get rid of him in the outside world. If not now, then it was bound to happen after Mulligan died.

Then again, that was a problem that he could think about another time. For now, he needed to preserve his own life. However, just when he was about to raise a hand to the sky, a loud voice came from behind him.

“NO!!! Don’t do it! Don’t give up.”

Eunid instinctively turned. it was Nora. She had a fierce gaze on him. “Don’t give up. Trust me, you have not lost yet.”

As she talked, he had a particular look on her face, and many might not notice, but her eyes had a low glow as if a power laying dormant within her was now growling, tempted to burst from the binds that hold it.

“But!” he wanted to talk.

“You still have the option of having three people assist you. By right of slavery, I am a member of the family. Pick me!”

Eunid was surprised by her request, and really did not want to, but there was just something about that gaze that he could not refuse even if he wanted to.

Instantly, he raised his hand flashing a symbol with his spiritual energy.

Mulligan acknowledged this and waved his hand, permitting it.

This was the symbol that a contestant was asking to use his assistance.

Arid also saw this, but he only chuckled lightly. After all, he did not believe that there was anyone who could do any harm to him.

The reason for this was because he was aware of the ability of the younger generation of the family, and he was one of the beast, the fact that he had also entered the silver realm was added prove that he was the most excellent.

And just as he thought, it was true.

Eunid hurried over, waving his hand to the seal of the gate, and it opened up, revealing Nora. “I won’t regret this, will I?” he asked.

Nora shook her head, “No! with what comes after, you will definitely regret it. but first..” she grabbed his head, pulling it closer to her own.

Everyone saw the simple slave girl as she stepped out.

“Who is that girl?” Night mistress asked with a frown, “and why is she holding my Talking pumpkin like that!?” she screamed. After all, from the onlooker’s perspective, it was as if Nora was grabbing Eunid to kiss him.

However, the moment their heads touched Eunid’s eyes shown a little. What she was doing was not what they thought it was. Essentially, she was passing information to him.

“I… I now understand!” Eunid responded. “I understand it all. But… aside the techniques, will that actually work?”

Nora only smiled a bit at him.

Old fang smiled at the fact that Eunid had finally allowed Nora to join him in battle. He had not been mistaking. Nora was indeed going to be useful in the battle.

Arid on the other hand, blazing with fierce spiritual energy that oozed in a silver light from his body looked at Eunid. “I am to kill you, and you rush over to your girlfriend to get your last kiss. Don’t worry, i understand. I’ll make sure to burry, both of you, side by side.”

He kicked the ground as he rushed over to Eunid, his bare fists attempting to slash him.

Nora was immediately thrown away from the attack by Eunid. Some spillage of the silver spiritual energy touched her, instantly, fracturing her right arm, and she screamed to the sky.

“What is Eunid thinking?” One elder asked the question on everyone’s mind.

“Why will he bring such a weak creature into such level of a battle.” After all, even if Arid did not attack her directly, just exposure to his silver energy was enough to kill her.

However, Old fang could not help but have a side smile at the corner of his lips.

Nora, on the other hand, regardless of her injury and tumbling on the ground, rose to her feet and regardless of the injury, rushed over towards the battling scorpions at the corner.
