Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

Slowly, Chiron opened his eyes.

This was a familial ceiling. However, this was not the ceiling of his own room.

Chiron looked to his side.

Just as had thought, she was right here.

Chiron exerted force to sit upright, but she placed a hand on his chest, "you should be careful my lord. The poison from the dagger had started damaging your internal organs by the time we got to you. It took a lot for me to cut out the affected tissue," Elder Ellen smiled at him.

Chiron could feel a slightly splitting headache. He massaged his temple with one hand as his brain immediately entered a state of calculations.

According to what he could still remember before he passed out, he had killed Lily the maid, and used her life force to summon his mother's soul from the Afterlife.

After that, he was attacked by the Assassins that came from the Dagger organization of the Dagger clan.

Chiron slowly raised his head and looked at Elder Ellen. She was smiling at him. This made him frown all the more.

He had just killed her maid and yet she was smiling at him.

"What happened!?" he asked.

She proceeded to tell him how he was found nearly dead in the graveyard.

This was a clan with experienced cultivators. After all, they had to fight continually with cored beasts and other cultivators to maintain a steady livelihood. They all had sharp senses that had been trained through various life-threatening encounters.

It was during the meeting for elders that they all felt something was wrong. The death energy from the grave had spread far into the clan.

Immediately, they traced the source of it and arrived at the graveyard.

They were all surprised to see what they had met. The corpses of eleven people were on the ground, with Chiron left as the only survivor.

Naturally, they checked and discovered that the assassins were all from the Dagger Clan.

It was popular knowledge that Chiron did not have cultivation. Therefore, they all assumed that it was Lily that killed the assassins.

Unfortunately, she must have not been able to make it at the last minute.

The dagger clan were well known by the Chikitsa clan. They had had skirmishes with the sword clans in the past and even a war at one time.

It was common knowledge that they had terrifying poisons.

That way, even though the victim was not killed instantly, the poison could fester until it devoured the person.

This world was not so advanced in its investigative methods.

Besides, the result was clear for all to see. Lily had died trying to protect Chiron. Of course, one would expect that Lily who was already an early stone-rank cultivator would be able to kill all the assassins and survive.

But as it is known, the dagger clan used terrifying poisons. One of their blades must have gotten to her as it did Chiron and that was how she died.

The meeting was for all elders of the clan. This meant that Elder Ellen although not interested, was also in attendance. She had also rushed to the graveyard.

And when she saw Chiron's state, she immediately took him for medical treatment. In her mind, Lily had done the right thing and had given her life to save the Godchild.

Hearing the explanation so far, Chiron could not help but shake his head. He suddenly remembered an old saying in his former world, "people believe what they want to believe regardless of what is true even if it was staring at them right in the face."

According to Chiron's memory, it was one of the means by which many governments controlled their populace.

Chiron looked at her and nodded, "you have worked hard," he patted her head.

This was the first time that Chiron had ever willingly touched her on his own accord. It brought a kind of warmth into her heart. And she bowed her head, "Thank you, my lord!"

She did not notice the sadistic smile on his face when she bowed her head.

"Leave! I need to have myself to my thoughts," he commanded.

Although the order came as a surprise, she still bowed, "Of course, my lord."

However, she paused when she got to the door and turned to him, "My lord! There is one more thing. I forgot to tell you, but while treating your body, I couldn't help but notice that you now have cultivation."

Chiron immediately frown, and his bloodlust was almost instantly activated but he held it in. No one was supposed to know about that. At least not now.

But what was he expecting? Elder Ellen was hundreds of years old. There was no way she was not familiar with Aura. After all, she herself was not using spirit energy as a means of cultivation but rather she used Elemental energy.

She smiled at him and bowed again, "congratulations my lord. I'm sure you are already aware. I knew you had your own plans for the thousand-year-old Violet good will flower you ordered. I just didn't know that you were going to move so fast."

Chiron could see from her facial expression and her body language that she was not aware that he had used her loving maid for the ritual, and his killing intent subsided.

Then again, even if he was to fight her, Chiron knew that he couldn't win. Elder Helen was a copper-rank cultivator. She could squash him as easily as crushing a bug.

But that did not mean that he was not going to give it his all.

Chiron nodded in acceptance of her congratulatory message, and she turned and left the room.

When she was gone, Chiron sighed in relief. He had really taken a big risk killing that Maid. But it had indeed ended well. Although Chiron knew that even though Elder Ellen knew, she would not do anything about it, he did not want to risk that possibility.

Chiron sighed as he lay down on the soft bed.

He stretched a hand for the ceiling. Looking at his hand, he willed, and there it was. His Aura. It was still as dark as ever.

Chiron wanted to smile, but he suddenly paused and frowned instead.

"It's too comfortable!" he whispered lowly.

He stood up from the bed regardless of his aching injuries. He waved a hand and Devil's touch appeared.

Just like the last time, he mutilated the bed with Devil's touch.

After which he sat on the floor in a lotus position.

A lot had happened so far, but he finally had cultivation.

However, he knew that his struggle was only just beginning. Now, he had to climb to the top of the cultivation world.

He knew that it would not be easy, but he did not care. This was his way.

He was not going to become like the Hero of his book that became strong only to give his life at the end and die just to preserve this world.

But first, there were a few things he needed to handle.

For example, he knew that the Dagger clan wanted him dead because he was the Tamashi. The dagger Clan were a very vengeful bunch. There was no way in hell that they would not come for his life again after what he had done to their people.

There was also the fact that he seemed to have made some enemies within the clan.

Iron stab had spilled to him everything. He knew that Elder Gran and Van were after his life in other to get back at Elder Ellen. And that Leongu was after his life because of Ganja's greatest sword-forging technique.

But that was still the least of his problems.

When he discovered that he could not use Nora for the ritual, he had nearly given up. If not for the fact that he had risked it all, he would not have had cultivation by now.

And the reason that his most detailed plan nearly went to waste was because of no other person than Elder Fatso.

Yet again, not killing this man from the moment he got into this world had come to bite him in the ass.

All his hard work and preparations nearly went down the drain because of him.

Chiron was smart. He could tell that Fate might still taunt him using this man.

It was high time he plotted this pervert's demise.

"Pervert!!!" Chiron thought to himself.

This was the one thing he knew about Elder Fatso and was sure of. The fat man was a mega pervert. A man that had gone to extreme lengths just to conquer a man's house because he wanted to touch the man's wife.

Elder Fatso might be an elder of the clan, and even higher in cultivation than Chiron, but they were many ways to bring a man down.

Thinking this far, Chiron suddenly remembered that someone like Emma still existed.

He smiled to himself, "Yes! I could use her. No! there is no one else that is more suited for the job than her. After all, her vengeance will fuel her hard work," his smile suddenly changed to a frown, "but I'll need to make some adjustments with her body in other for this to work well."

An elaborate plan moulded sadistically in Chiron's head, and the thought of what would happen next was...
