Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel - Chapter 94

Chapter 94: Death is the color of Aura…
This was it.

This was Chiron’s big idea.

He had extensive knowledge of a lot of things in this world. This was knowledge he had gotten from the dreams he had about the MC’s life in this world.

For the sake of survival, even though the MC of his book was a hero, he had dabbled in a lot of unrighteous things. At least, he had knowledge of them.

One of them was the act of using rituals or cultic ways as a shortcut to certain goals.

Chiron’s plan was not to surmone a devil or the like for power. He still had his mind on acquiring aura.

The method was simply to turn the soul of a person that had strong emotional feelings for the individual that needs aura.

Although this method he wanted to try had never been done before, Chiron’s book of extremities for power really had no limit or morality.

He knew a method the Mc of the book had learnt to use in other to summon the soul of the dead. There were many times in the Novel that the Mc used it to get vital information.

Although his reason for this was not information, he still planned to use this method.

From the knowledge he had on his mother, he knew that she was a cultivator but not a very high ranked one.

Summoning souls required using another soul as an exchange. However, this ritual he was trying to perform involved the soul of a cultivator. Therefore, only the soul of another cultivator was strong enough to call forth his mothers soul.

According to what he knew, his mother was somewhere around the wood rank. This meant that Lily’s soul would be perfect for the exchange.

The reason he had cut off her legs and hands was simply that he was wary of her. Most cultivators always had one or two tricks up their sleeves.

He was confident of the poison he had administered, but who knew what she could do? Also, spirit energy flowed through the blood.

He was bleeding her out so that she would not use her spirit energy to flush out the poison from her system.

The moment he cut off her limbs, he could see that she was more focused on using her spirit energy to ensure that she did not bleed to death.

This was a better option in Chiron’s opinion.

Chiron waved his hands and herbs appeared. he mixed them together. As he did, he spoke in a low chant.

And then he mixed the blood that was still slowly flowing out of Lily’s body with the herbs.

He tore up her clothes and used the herb-blood mixture to write out different symbols all over her body, most especially her face.

When he was done, he used a blade and cut his palm up. He squeezed drops of his blood unto his mother’s grave. As he did, he mumbled in a low tone the ancient language of runes.

The blood that fell on the grave moved on its own and formed different shapes. However, one particular shape was bigger than the others. It was a circle with a star in the centre of it.

Lily could not move, and by now, her body was filled with perspiration. She was barely managing to stay alive, however, her eyes and the snot running down her face revealed more.

FEAR!

She was afraid.

This barely nine-year-old boy that her mistress was obsessed with was actually a demon in human clothing.

Chiron had cut her hands and legs without any remorse. He had done it with a straight face.

She knew that he had defeated the Green skinned leopard, and even killed the beast, but tearing apart an animal was very different from tearing apart a person.

However, in Chiron’s eyes, there was no difference whatsoever. Both of them were just walking meat and bones.

Chiron chanted some more, “Veil of the Underworld! Helm of the Reaper! Blade of the Sickle! As life cannot exist without the fulfilment of death, so can death not exist without the fulfilment of life. I invoke the cosmic rule of balance. I give life for death! A living soul for a dead soul. Give me the soul connected by this blood.”

He poured some more of his blood on the grave, “Give me Nora Chivalry! Give me my mother!”

*CRACK* The grave cracked open. And from the centre of the big symbol on the grave, a hand reached out. This hand was not flesh, but rather it looked more like it was a hologram. It stretched out of the hole. And then another hand came out. It pulled the remaining part of its body out.

One look at the fair beautiful face that came out of the ground and Chiron knew for certain that this was her. This was his mother.

Meanwhile, as she came out of the ground, the symbols on Lily’s skin glowed red as they sank into her skin.

Simply put, as Nora came out, Lily died. Her skin became dried up until she was looking like the bark of a tree during autumn. Her eyes dried up into hollow sockets, her nose, beautiful skin and even her enticing lips all dried up.

All that was left of her was a dried-up carcass with symbols on them. She had died without even knowing why her life had to be the one to be cut so short.

Meanwhile, Chiron’s mother had come out from the grave. She was ever as beautiful as Chiron had thought she was. After all, he still had a pencil portrait of her in his room back home.

He could definitely see the strong resemblance that his younger sister had to his mother.

“Chiron! is that you!?” she asked the moment she saw him: Her voice sounded like echoes off a wall. She was without clothes and her eyes showed her confusion, but from the bond of blood that had summoned her, she knew that it was Chiron.

Even though this was his mother, Chiron could not give two damn about what she had to say. Her only existence lay in her usefulness.

Chiron knew what to do next. Through the crack in the grave that she had come from, he poured the mixture he had used to attempt to use his sister’s soul for Aura. It was the same mixture that had all six herbs and ingredients mixed in them.

And then he rubbed some of it on his forehead.

All the while as he made his preparations, the ghost had been watching behind him. When Chiron had finished all the necessary preparations, he turned back to her.

He gave the most cheerful smile that he could summon on his face, “Mother!” she looked at him and also smiled at him.

“My Chiron!” she floated towards him, “did you do this because you missed me so much?”

“Yes, mother! I missed you with all my heart. I really wanted to see you at least one more time. As he talked, she attempted to touch his face, but her hands passed through him.”

She retracted her hands in a hurry, and it looked like she had tears in her eyes, “Chiron, do you hate me for leaving so soon?”

Chiron shook his head, he had the most affectionate look a son could give his mother on his face, “Of course not mother! I know that you are not to be blamed for this. Fate always has a way of springing up on us.”

Chiron attempted to reach her too, but his hand only passed through her. In his eyes, she saw loss and passionate affection.

She could really see the love in his eyes. However, she noticed something, “Chiron! where are your father and Nora? Even in the underworld, I heard their filial prayers every year.”

Those words nearly brought a frown to Chiron’s face, but he held it back. He had gone too far to back off now or let petty emotions ruin his plans.

“Chiron, the last time I heard your prayers was a very long time ago. She raised a brow at him.”

Chiron suddenly went down on his knees, “I’m sorry mother you have to forgive this child. After I lost you, I couldn’t bare to come here one more time. For a long time, it ate deep into my soul. Every night, I would look at your portrait by my bedside and it would make my heart bleed.”

On his knees, he bowed his head and slowly, she could hear him sobbing. Tears dropped from his eyes to the cold ground.

She suddenly felt as if she had been too harsh on him. After all, he had really gone to lengths just to see her again. Unlike Nora, he actually had the opportunity to feel her motherly love before she died.

It was no wonder that he hurt so much. She could not imagine what he must have gone through. His pain must have been a lot.

She floated close to him, “Chiron! My big beautiful son! I, your mother am not angry with you. I understand your pain. It must have not been easy. I really missed you too.”

The moment she said those words, Chiron’s eyes brightened. A side smile stained a corner of his lips.

“So, are you saying that you still love me, mother?”

She gave a cheerful motherly smile, “Of course I love you. I love you with all of my heart. Don’t you know that you are my own Chiron?”

Chiron could clearly see that if she had a physical body, she would have definitely hugged him.

Chiron could not help but say to himself, “Truly, the easiest person to lie to or deceive was a loving woman.”

Chiron had his head bowed as his mouth moved slowly. He was reciting the incantation. He had already confirmed what he needed. There was no longer any need for the award winning acting performance.

All he needed to know was that she still loved him. After all, this was the major requirement for the plan to work.

As mumbled lowly, a rainbow suddenly appeared from within her grave. One end of it was on the grave, and the other end of it was on his forehead.

Chiron raised his head with his paintbrush in hand, “See, your son loves you too mother. But since you are already dead, I’m sure you won’t mind me using you.”

And so, the process began.

However, Chiron suddenly noticed something. This rainbow was not like the others he had seen when doing this ritual. For reason, this rainbow was black and white.

In other words, it was without any of the beautiful colours associated with a rainbow.

What’s more, it felt like DEATH.
