Chereads / Ascension of the Hegemonic Asura / Chapter 9 - A Path Of No Return

Chapter 9 - A Path Of No Return

Since when Lucian could start remembering, he knew Mia was blind, from young. When he asked Uncle Jason, he only told him that Mia was born blind but she can be healed. But now, the voice was telling him Mia wasn't actually blind?

"Um..Are you sure senior..."

"Yes I am. Your sister isn't blind. She's born with the rare Heaven Origin Eyes. A one in a million physique. Right now, I doubt there's a genius with a talent close to hers in that trash world of yours." The voice echoed out to him his eyes flickering with unhidden disgust when he mentioned his world.

Lucian's mouth opened to form an O shape as he just couldn't believe what is happening. It seems Mia's blindness was actually a blessing in disguise.

"But your sister suffered a serious injury to her eyes when she was born and by the looks of it, It seems someone was trying to dig out her eyes but her eyes newly developed soul fought back and it's soul was damaged, making your sister go blind."

Lucian's gaze turned to shock and then unbridled rage on hearing that. Someone tried to dig out Mia's eyes when she was a baby. Just who would dig out a baby's eyes.

"Eyes like hers can be transferred to someone else once they are born. If someone took out her eyes and placed it in another person's. Then the other will posses her eyes, making them have another rare physique. Your sister was unlucky, but she was also lucky as her eyes consciousness quickly formed and fought back or your sister won't even have an eyeball at all." The voice said in an unbothered tone.

"So what can we do to make her eyes open once again and she's already dead, isn't she.."

"Her eyes newly formed soul suffered a serious damage and went to slumber. What we have to do is to cure her eyes soul and it will naturally wake from slumber. To do that, you'll need to find the "Aceso Drop". It's the only thing that can awaken her eyes soul once again."

Lucian took a deep breath in as a smile appeared on his face, he thought he only needed to hire an Earth grade healer and Mia's blindness would be cured. Guess he was understimating her blindness. Now all he need is to find the Aceso Drop.

"And how can I find that, senior?"

"The Aceso Drop is not extremely rare, but in your world, it's a heavenly treasure that the strongest in your world will fight to death for. But you can still find it, all though obtaining it will be a little difficult as everyone will want it. Your concern now should be growing stronger. I'll inform you when it appears.

With that settled, let's get onto your sister's death..."

Lucian suddenly felt a mysterious force pushing him away with speed as Mia's body went closer to the Gigantic eye.

Lucian felt himself becoming steady once again as he wondered what the eyes will do to bring back Mia from the dead.

A crimson cloloured infinity rune suddenly appeared in the eye as all other runes started disappearing from the eye making the infinity rune brighten with a powerful crimson red.

"Infernal Devil Death Reversal Art: Infernal Returning."

The infinity symbol in the eyes suddenly disappeared from the eye as it appeared directly above Mia before immediately merging into her body.

Lucian watched with wide mouth as Mia's body flared with a crimson light mostly her hearts position.

The crimson light slowly disappeared leaving the place in silence before a sound broke through the entire space shaking Lucian's mind.

"BADUM..BADUUM.BADUUM.."

It was the sound of a heart beating again.

Tears of joy spilled out of Lucian's eyes as he was shocked speechless. Mia is now alive once again.

He felt the force dragging him back as Lucian hurriedly called out to her.

"Mia,Mia..."

"Save your voice, boy. Although she's alive now, she's in an incredibly deep slumber. My energy is not enough to completely awaken her. But the Aceso Drop will.

Once you obtain the Aceso Drop, then she'll fully awake with her eyes soul cured.

I think that's what she too will want.

So everything else now lay on you, boy. You only have two years to find the Aceso Drop or she remain in slumber forever and might never awaken again." The eyes said as golden coloured coffin with image of stars etched on it appeared and Mia's body slowly disappeared into it.

The coffin immediately snapped close before a rune appeared in the eye and the coffin got sucked into it.

"She's now in my Infernal Eye space. The safest place she could be in right now. You can free your mind and solely focus on growing stronger." The voice said as Lucian bowed deeply to it.

"Thank you senior..."

"Don't thank me, I'm only doing part of my deal. Now it's your end of the deal that remains." the voice said as Lucian discovered it was a little weaker now but unknown to him, cracks appeared on the edge of the eyes as if it was about to shatter to pieces. It seems bringing Mia back to live cost a lot of damage to it.

"But senior, there's one thing I have to ask..." Lucian said after firming his mind up.

"Oh, and what could that be..."

"I don't have a martial spirit. How will I grow stronger without a martial spirit."

"Hmm, that's a little strange. But I guess I'll help you out as you have to be strong to fullfil the end part of your deal to me. Without a martial spirit, it's almost an impossibility to grow stronger according to that backwater world of yours.

But who told you that a martial spirit is needed to grow stronger?" the voice said in disdain.

Lucian's mind was once again blown away by the information. Without a martial spirit, then one was deemed trash, but the eye told him it wasn't really needed.

"Know kid, a martial spirit only make cultivation more easier.

There are ways you can cultivate without martial spirit though very rare, it's not impossible. It'll just be ten times harder.

But the harder path will lead to greater strength. Luckily for you I have a way..."

Lucian was incredibly happy as he immediately jumped down and thanked the eye repeatedly.

"Thank you senior, for the powerful cultivation technique you'll be bestowing towards me..."

"Who said I was going to bestow you a cultivation technique?"

"What?" Lucian said as his happiness was immediately dashed away.

"I said I have a way. I never said I'll be giving you anything." the voice said in disdain.

A new rune suddenly appeared in the eye as a huge door brimming with powerful dark aura appeared before Lucian.

"This gate is the Infernal Gate. Looking at you now, saying you have a five percent chance of survival is giving you too much praise. But if there's a place where you can find a way to cultivate without martial spirit, then it's your only choice right now.

So boy, will you accept the challenge. Enter into the Infernal Gate with a five percent chance of survival or continue living as trash and be stepped on for the rest of your life."

The voice said piercing into Lucian's being.

"I choose to enter the Infernal Gate."

Lucian said making up his mind immediately.

He had witnessed forehand of how not being able to cultivate feel.

Banished, Humiliated and everything that mattered to him taken away.

Even if there's absolutely no chance of survival, he would still choose to enter.

He'll rather die trying to grow stronger than become a trash all his life. This was his will.

"Good. You have made the right decision kid." the voice said as the door slowly opened.

"If you are able to come out of the gate alive, then you have my word. In a few years now, none will be your match in that trash world of yours."

Lucian took a deep breath in as he stared at the dark vortex inside the door even though his heart was pounding in his chest in fear.

Lucian closed his eyes as he opened them again, his eyes brimming with determination.

He took a step as he entered into the gate, his figure swallowed by the vortex as the gate immediately disappeared.

All that was left in the place was a single eye that now had cracks running across it.

"It seems I've really gotten weaker by a lot. Thankfully the girl still had a wisp of her soul still left or I will have failed to awaken her.

Now all I need to do is to wait for the boy to grow strong enough and then I'll start..."

The voice sad as the eyes closed once again falling into a deep slumber.

It was unknown when it will awaken once again, but one thing was sure, the cosmos will drown in blood when it got fully released from its bindings.
