Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel-Chapter 150 The Scabbard’s Will 2...

<Alert>

<Blood Bond failed! Host must conquer the will within>

Almost as soon as the good news came, it was accompanied by bad news.

The good news was that there was the possibility of bonding with the scabbard.

Chiron thought hard at this. It did not take long for his mind to arrive at the answer.

He couldn't help but remember what had happened at the dantain awakening ceremony many years ago.

Back then, the sword had gone round piercing through the chests of everyone present.

For those that survived the event, they became cultivators. While those that died forever became one with the flavour of the earth.

Chiron remembered that at the time, the Ancestor's broad sword had floated before his face and paused for a bit before moving on to piercing his younger sister.

After the event at the Chikitsa volcano, it was clear to him that the Tamashi of the clan was the inheritor of the will of the blood dragon.

This was the reason why the broad sword had stopped before him then.

It was a contemplation.

However, it was all different now. He could bet that if he came in contact with the Ancestor's broad sword now, then it was as good as his.

The reason for this was because he had already gone to the hidden cave and formed the blood bond between himself and the unbirth dragon.

In other words, he was now qualified for the inheritance.

Apparently, the scabbard also recognized that he was worthy of the inheritance.

This to Chiron was incredible news.

If bonding was possible with the scabbard, then it was definitely possible with the sword. And there was a possibility of it happening with that subspace that contained the land filled with useful herbs.

However, the bad news was the fact that he needed to first conquer the will in it.

Chiron remembered when he first got Devil's touch.

Even though the sword was only just born at the time, it already had its own will.

Defeating the will that came with Devil's touch was a strong tug of war for supremacy, but he had won.

However, Chiron could very well imagine that this was going to be a different case with the Scabbard.

After all, this Scabbard was hundreds of years old.

He was not foolish enough to believe that entering there without being prepaid was going to come out profitable for him.

However, he knew that he had to try.

At the moment, this was all he had.

The scabbard glowed in a faint silver light when his blood touched it.

Harden nodded his head.

"I shall ask you a series of questions. make sure you answer them as truthful as possi..." Harden raised a brow at Chiron, "what are you doing?" he asked.

Chiron had a hand up.

"Forgive me elder Harden, but may I have a cup of water? I have been training hard for a long time. And as you know, I'm not as big and strong a cultivator as you. My endurance is pretty low."

Chiron had a bold smile on his face to accompany his request.

And he had said it the easiest and best way possible. He had even played on the mind of Harden by calling him big and strong.

Harden thought about this and wanted to refuse, but Chiron added a catalyst.

*Cough! Cough!*

He suddenly remembered that chiron had also been coughing when they were coming, and that Emma had rushed to help him at the time.

Chiron was not having cultivation.

This was a common fact. It was also a common fact that he trained hard to make up for this, and that he had worked hard enough that he even came out as top of his class.

This was also the reason why Harden suspected Chiron.

Chiron attempted to get up from his seat, but harden stopped him.

"Don't worry, I will get it for you instead."

Harden got up slowly and left the room.

From the way he looked at Chiron, Chiron could tell what the big man was thinking.

Harden had assumed that Chiron was trying to escape.

It also further pushed the theory in his head that Chiron was the one that summoned the Devils.

Chiron really could not blame him for this.

After all, all the deeds he had performed so far in the Clan had literally caused one wave or the other.

Chiron was sure that Harden was probably not the only one that was suspecting him.

It was indeed unnatural for a person without cultivation to have won against someone that had. And chiron had beaten Cablen.

He had divided the iron boulder into two.

There was also the fact that the moment he had acquired that miraculous sword of his was when Ganja was supposedly reported dead.

Even if by some fluke, he had won Cablen, there was the fact that he had killed a cored beast of the green core rank on his own.

There was also the event of the dead assassins at the graveyard. Where he had coincidentally been the only one to have survived.

And then there was the most recent event that had happened before the devil invasion incident, and that was the fact that most of his teammates had died exactly a day before the devil invasion incident.

Whether willingly or not, Chiron had managed to find himself by one means or another somewhere within every major event that had happened in the last couple of years.

At east every major event that had people talking, had the name of the Tamashi hiding somewhere within.

In Harden's eyes, and his instinct that had let him maintain the peace of the clan for so long, he was very sure that Chiron had something to do with the devil invasion.

He just needed the evidence to prove this.

And now, When he was about to catch him red handed, Chiron was requesting to be excused the premises for water.

This was something that Harden was not going to allow.

He instructed that Chiron sit and wait, and that he was going to go and get the water himself.

"Thank you very much Elder. But I really would not mind getting it myself." Chiron pushed a little more.

But Harden insisted that he remained sitting with a frown on his face. Chiron sighed as he sat back.

Elder Harden looked at him with a questioning gaze.

However, the moment Harden stood up and turned his back, Chiron placed his hand on the scabbard.

Immediately, time seemed to slow down to a pause.

Harden had paused and the entire world seemed paused.

There was a sudden laughter in the air. Chiron looked around but he did not see anybody.

"Over here boy!"

Chiron turned to the sound of the voice. Surprisingly, it had come from the scabbard.

Chiron retracted his hand from it. The scabbard suddenly changed form, and in front of Chiron was an old man.

He appeared to be in his later years. He had a full greyed out bearded face.

He was shirtless which revealed his pot belly, and he also had a skirt on to cover up his lower body.

The Old man looked at him and smiled, "not bad boy! not bad! You were able to make this old man acknowledge you. Not bad indeed."

Chiron raised a brow at the old man, and then he turned to Harden who was still frozen in place. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

The old man gave a dry giggle, "don't worry about him. Currently, we are in a little subspace in the scabbard."

"A subspace!?"

"yes! a subspace," the old man nodded, "let's just say that time works differently here than it does out there. Who knows? A year here, might be a second out there." the old man shrugged his shoulders.

However, those words made Chiron widen his eyes in surprise.

Chiron took a closer look at this man's face. He could tell that he had seen him before. But where he had seen this face was not something he could currently put a finger on.

"Are you the will of the scabbard?" Chiron asked.

"Hahahha!!!" The old man laughed, "what do you think? I am the will in the sword."

The old man had an eccentric behaviour to his character.

Chiron nodded his head.

"So, how do I make the Scabbard mine?" Chiron asked.

"Well, its quite simple. All you have to do is come with me!"

A door materialized and the old man walked opened it and walked through it. "come on!" he beckoned on Chiron.

Chiron paused for a second. he was not one to be trusting of old men and entering strange doors. But at the moment, he still had to conquer the scabbard, or else his life in the outside world would end up a mess.

But just to be sure, he willed the Fate system.

He could see that all his stats were still up to date.

He nodded at this. And then he opened the chart that displayed his body condition.

His eyes narrowed a bit. He raised his head to the old man and smiled. And then he followed after him...
