Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

"NO! NO!! NO!!!" Chief Dona muttered lowly.

He looked at his wife and then at his hands.

Her blood filled his hands so much that some of it fell to the ground.

The Ancestry sword was a very big broad sword.

With the spiritual energy of a cultivator in the bronze rank, her insides were as good as mushed potatoes from the one strike filled with so much rage.

Elder Joules coughed as her body jerked from time to time.

Blood leaked down her mouth like drops of water off a glass mirror.

He looked in her eyes as she did his.

"Why!? Why did you do that!?" he asked.

"I... I don't know." she muttered as she fell limply into his embrace.

It was true. She did not know why she jumped in front of the blade. How could she?

It was just the blood contract at work.

Her freedom of choice was taken away that day many years ago when she made that deal with Chiron.

It was that instance of pride that sealed her Fate.

Chief Dona immediately left the sword as he held her.

He sat on the ground with her in his embrace.

"HEALER! I need a HEALER!!" he kept calling out, but there was none around.

"I... I wish..." she coughed out some more blood as she tried to talk, "you loved me... like you did Nora!"

Those were her last words.

Her eyes remained open as she lifelessly left the world forever.

Chief Dona held her tight in his hands. Memories of his years with this woman flushed through his mind.

He had only married her because at the time, she was the best female cultivator.

There was not much to it. They had only gotten married because he had become chief and since she was talented, the elders figured that both of them would give birth to better Talents for the clan.

He truly did not love her. His heart was with Nora who had become his brother's wife.

Even though he became Chief, he hated that he had to let her go.

Naturally, he poured all his malice on her.

No matter what she did. Whether it was right or wrong, he would shout at her and in many cases, he would even physically abuse.

All to satisfy his unsatisfaction.

As if it was her fault that he ended up with her.

However, no matter what, she still stayed loyal to him.

The abuse only truly reduced significantly when she had Cablen.

However, just when she thought he was starting to get better, news arrived of Nora's death.

She had died given birth to her second child.

Once more, he reverted back to his crazy abuse. Only this time around, it was more in private.

But she was a dutiful woman through and true.

If only he had given her a tard bit more attention instead of his position and his brother's family, maybe she wouldn't have made that decision to sign a betting contract with Chiron all those years ago out of fear of bruising his Ego.

And now, it was all over.

As a father, husband and even a leader, he had really failed.

"But I... I loved you!" he muttered to himself. Almost as if he was trying to convince himself that the things he had done to her were instead out of love.

Chief Dona looked around him. He had eaten his own son, killed his own wife, and his clan was on fire.

The despair and rage mixed with the hunger that came from the Gluttony of sin ravaged his mind.

Chiron as well as the others could see it. Chief Dona was at the brink of true madness.

Chiron took a few steps towards his clan chief.

Chief Dona still held his wife in his hands. However, his eyes and expression were nearly blank.

On the ground was the Bloody Ancestral sword.

Chiron picked it up.

He raised it and with a whip in the air, all the blood on it fell to the ground.

Chiron bit his finger and drops of blood touched the sword.

Immediately, the world seemed to slow down, or rather, it nearly paused.

Just like it had been when he had touched the scabbard.

Once more, he saw the familiar door as the familiar face of his Ancestor walked in.

It was just as Chiron had thought. The same monologue. With the same invitation that Chiron should pass three tests.

Chiron was smart enough to know that this was another piece of his ancestor's soul.

"I'm sorry Old man! But I do not have time to play with you."

*SLASH!*

Chiron waved his hand, and some of his blood from his finger acted as a blade and cut of the head of the ancestor before he could continue spitting his obvious lies.

<Congratulations Host. New weapon acquired.>

<Ancestral blade>

Chiron laughed lowly.

He looked at the heart broken chief and it made him shake his head.

Chief Dona had just acquired power, but because his Dao heart was corrupted with affection, he was left without a will to fight.

Even with power, one could be left useless without Will.

Chiron looked well at the state of the man.

A reminder that this was what he would become if he allowed human sentiments to crowd his path to power.

*CLAP!*

There was suddenly clapping in the air.

Everyone turned to the source of it.

It was knight Sheyi, "You know! I have had the privilege of meeting and killing a few Evil Children in my life, but never once have I met anyone like you."

He raised a hand to the sky and a bronze light energy suddenly shoot out of his ring.

The moment the light went to the sky, Chiron felt the arrival of more unwanted guests.

Suddenly, many men in white robes appeared.

Knight Sheyi turned to the Dagger father. "I thought you wanted the Chikitsa clan. If that kid gets away, you are finished."

The Dagger father frowned. He had read the developing situation until now.

He knew that what Knight Sheyi said was true.

He waved his hands and the Arena was suddenly filled with men in black fitted clothes.

But not just them. Chiron could also see some members of the sword clans in their ranks.

Apparently, some clans had long betrayed the Chikitsa clan.

One of such, was the Rapier clan.

Their clan Chief Killian stood close to the Dagger father.

Chiron frowned a bit.

It was just as he guessed. Somehow, Knight Sheyi was already in cohorts with the Dagger clan.

But this did not surprise him.

On seeing the vast number of people, the remaining elders of the Chikitsa clan were forced to gather where Chiron stood.

This included Elder Aleen.

There was no need to ask stupid questions like: why was this happening?

Everyone here was smart enough to know that this was going to be a bloody fight.

Suddenly, there was laughter.

It was loud and it echoed off the still nervousness of the Arena.

This laughter was from Chiron.

Everyone turned and looked at him.

Was he running mad like the Chief?

Chiron suddenly tore out his clothes.

Which meant that he was now with just his underwear.

He used the clothe tie his one hand that was cursed and now unusable.

And then he willed and Devil's touch appeared from no where.

He placed Devil's touch in his mouth.

Just like it would morph and wrap his hand steady, it did so for his neck and face.

Covering it like a mask.

He held the Ancestral broad sword in his one good hand.

And then he took a ready position to fight.

The Dagger father raised his hand, and he was about to give the signal for the fight to begin.

However, he paused.

*SLASH!*

Everyone looked in Chiron's direction.

He had just cleaved the Chikitsa clan Elders in front of him into two.

"Chiron! what are you...!?" Aleen opened his eyes in surprise.

He could not believe what he was seeing. Chiron was attacking his own Clan's men.

But there was more.

How and when did Chiron become strong enough to kill Copper rank cultivators?

Such questions labelled his mind.

But before his mind could even get answered to them, all the Elders before him had touched the ground as pieces of meat.

He had killed them all.

Aleen did not know what to do. He frowned tightly. This were his clan's men that his own son was cutting like paper.

This infuriated him. Be raised his sword as he came with a spirit technique for Chiron, but just when he reached, he discovered that he could no longer feel his hands.

Aleen fell to the ground.

Chiron had not moved but yet his hands were cut. How was that possible?

And then he saw it. The blood that had bathed the ground rose in the air.

Chiron did not need to attack with his swords. His Blood technique had done the job for him.

Chiron walked up to his father. Devil's touch morphed space out of his lips to let him talk.

"Don't worry You are about to join mother!"

*SLOSH!*

The sword went into his chest.
