Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

Thinking thus far, Chiron made up his mind on what he was to do.

Till this moment, his goal to choose his own Fate had not changed one bit.

He would literally do anything to achieve it.

Besides, as of this moment, he was only being detained as a suspect. If there was actual proof that he had started the devil invasion, then Elder Harden would have attacked at first sight.

He immediately bit his tongue.

*Cough!* Cough!*

He coughed into his palm as he leaned in on Emma walking beside him.

"Are you alright?" Elder Harden asked with a brow up.

"Yes, Elder Harden. My throat is just a little bit dry."

However, the moment he touched Emma, he used his slightly bloody hand. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

No one noticed. Not even Harden, but the blood flowed up her sleeve and into her blouse. Forming a small rune behind her ear.

They continued on their way.

Meanwhile, Nora was coming to see her brother. She had not seen him in a long time, and every other time she came, he was either not around or too busy.

Also, the Devil invasion incident that just happened made her worry for him.

Today was a special day. It was his birthday, and she had to see him. She had even gone through the trouble of preparing some food she was sure he would love.

However, she was surprised to see him being hauled away by the Bureau of Cultivators.

Everybody knew Elder Harden. Even if it was just a home visit, no one wanted to receive it from him.

This was a normal thing. After all, in every society, nobody wanted a visit from the police.

The basket she was holding fell off her hands. She immediately turned and hurried back home to tell her father.

Meanwhile, many people conversed with one another as Harden walked them away.

The Tamashi was not liked in the first place. This was only extra butter on the bread.

.....

They were led to the Bureau for cultivators and were kept separate in different rooms.

Spirit energy was known because that was the source of cultivation within the Clan which had been passed from one generation to another.

Elemental energy was known because of the joint history the world knew of Elves.

Aura energy, on the other hand, was not known by the Clan. Unless of course, it was people like Elder Ellen that had experiences outside this place.

Magic Energy was also foreign to the Chikitsa clan.

But Devil energy was not. The reason for this could also be attributed to the history of the world of a great evil ten thousand years before the war with the elves that brought calamity and Chaos.

This was akin to knowing the world was a bigger place as a result of the first and second world wars from Chiron's former world.

Even if one did not know about the war, the term Nazi could easily ring bells.

Also, they had been instances in the past from other clans of devil invasion. This was very rare and according to records, only happened as a result of devil summoning.

Every culture had its myths and beliefs. Some in gods, and others in the supremacy of their ancestors, but one thing that was common with all of them was the existence of devils and demons.

As one would expect, devils always enticed with the lies of greater power, and have lured people to their deaths.

It was easy for one to think that such a method will not hold much sway in the cultivation world, but the truth was that it did.

Who more to entice with the possibilities of power than a person that had tasted it, or could possibly see its worth.

Even Chiron had had one time considered using this method to grow, but the problem it came wit was just too much of a nuisance.

Shortly after Chiron had left Carla's residence with her the other day, Elder Harden and some other cultivators had made it to the home.

The elder had found some evidence that a blood ritual was conducted there.

At the moment, Chiron sat comfortably in a room in front of the Elder.

The reason why Chiron was brought here was only that he was a suspect. Surprisingly, Chiron saw a couple of recognizable faces in the waiting room.

Like Aggro who was Ponzi's father. The parents of the twins Duna and Luna.

The interrogation had started.

Chiron was called into the room and asked to sit by Elder Harden.

"Chiron, I'm going to be asking you some questions. I'll advise that you answer as truthfully as you can."

Elder Harden placed a Scabbard on the table.

One look at this Scabbard and Chiron recognized it.

This was the original Scabbard to the Ancestor's broad sword.

While the Sword was always kept at the Chief's Manor, the Original Scabbard was always kept at the Bureau for Cultivators.

Just like the Blade, the Scabbard was also special. It had healing and prowess-boosting properties that helped the welder of the sword.

However, at the moment, it was used for something else.

The Scabbard had the ability to tell the general conditioning of the body. Since the Broad sword was tied to members of the clan, it was the closest thing they had to a Polygraph.

To say that the Scabbard had the ability to tell whether one was lying or telling the truth would not exactly be the right way to describe its ability. But it had the ability to sense the change in emotions and state of a person's body that could help the elder taking the reading conclude if a person was lying.

For the most part over the years, this broad sword had worked a hundred per cent of the time.

The draw back is that it could not be used on those that were not tied to the clan by blood.

In his former world, Chiron lived as an orphan. Lying was practically like breathing to him.

He had very much already planned what he would say on his way here.

However, this scabbard was really going to be an obstacle...
