Chapter 1059 Cap 1057: Hela's Ritual Part 2

Hela and I went to the center of the Undead city, the city had always been in ruins, but now the city was three times the size and its streets looked like a labyrinth covered in miasma mist causing confusion to the senses or manipulation of the Aura in the most people.

This was an idea I stole from old roleplaying games and I was excited to try it, but of course, since I was the one who designed the inconspicuous labyrinth of a ruined city shrouded in fog, I knew where I had to go, unfortunately, I couldn't find one shows with humanoid body and iron pyramid head.

"I might have to create one using some Zombie Berserk as a base..." (I)

"What are you talking about master?" (Hela)

"I'm not saying anything important, I'm just thinking out loud as I make a mental note of something to do in my spare time." (I)

"Also, don't forget to call me Dad, you'll get used to it in time." (I)

We kept going straight to the center of the ruined city, my vision was being blocked, but my Aura was able to easily mix with the miasma and expand even further, but I didn't do that to not expel all the Undead from the city in a hurry ruins.

In the center of the city, there was a large park full of extremely deadly flowers and trees, this is the most dangerous area on this floor.

The trees with the black body and ethereal blue leaves as if they were made of blue flames are Death Trees, they consume and attract death energy while releasing miasma just getting close to these trees can lead one to death.

Flowers are various types of forbidden items used in poisons, curses, and forbidden techniques, each flower has the ability to kill anyone who approaches it in horrible ways, some among them may even try to kill someone on their own.

I just wanted to create a safe green area here, a safe place in the middle of this city full of the Undead, but Lyra and Hela insisted on taking advantage of this perfect environment to create this place where they could collect these rare items.

"This place is the best place to do the ritual, the miasma and death energy will make the ritual stronger while lowering the energy consumption." (Hela)

My Aura which has holy characteristics kept the Undead away, but the things planted in this park did nothing to me or Hela for another reason, I left my blood to be used in the creation of this park, it took something very nourishing to keep things so rare and wouldn't sacrifice anyone like Elsaris said it was usually done by criminals.

Furthermore, I have the Blessing of the Demon Goddess of Death, we can say that Hela's Soul was also empowered by a Death God, could it be a Death God who took his previous life to death by being an Evil God of Corpses, but it was still a God of Death.

We entered the park making our way to the center where there were the 4 Black Dragons, they seem to have made their nests here, and as soon as they saw me in my direction where they lowered their heads in front of me if their appearances weren't so scary it would be cute.

"Do they live here?" (I)

"Yes, death energy and miasma does not harm Black Dragons, in fact, they should now be almost evolving into Death Dragons." (Hela)

"Are they going to disrupt the ritual?" (I)

"No, but I hope they don't try to interfere." (Hela)

I look at the Dragons and they shake their heads in denial the 4 of them together, they seem to understand what we say, so I wave them away and watch them go a little further while keeping an eye on what we do.

"What do we do now?" (I)

"You don't need to do anything... Father..." (Hela)

"Do you just need my blood?" (I)

"It is not something critical or demanding for the ritual, but it can strengthen the magic, you have the pure element of darkness, you have the Blessings of the Goddess Kalistos and even an Aura of Death, and your blood is simply a treasure for a Necromancer." (Hela)

"Wouldn't my Holy Power be a hindrance?" (I)

"Not if it's you, your Holy Power has the same characteristics as your Aura, that includes the energy of death, at the beginning of the Ritual that will be the only thing to be stimulated." (Hela)

"If you say so, just tell me how much you need." (I)

I use Kinshasa claws to slash my wrist, let the blood seep out as it pools in a floating sphere until it's half my size, then Hela waves me to a stop.

Hela controls my blood using blood magic, she uses my blood to draw the magic circles for the ritual as she crystallizes the blood that was already in place.

It took her tens of minutes to create dozens of smaller magic circles, some layered and some intertwined, all forming a pattern that forms a single giant ritual magic circle.

With the ritual magic circle ready, Hela begins to place all the materials in different positions, always inside one of the smaller magic circles within the ritual.

The materials ranged from crystal containing the flesh and blood of tens of thousands of people, crystals containing death energy, Phantom Orbs, Evil Seeds, a True Dragon core, and crystal bones filled with the pure element of darkness.

But in the center of the ritual she keeps a crystal of my blood that I gave her some time ago before she evolved, this magic crystal contains my Summoning magic empowered by my Summoning skill.

"Looks like everything is in place." (I)

"Yes, it looks like nothing is missing." (Hela)

"Do you need me to move further away?" (I)

"May I drink your blood first... Father." (Hela)

"Feel free to ask, what I gave you wasn't even 1/10 of the blood in my body." (I)

I reach out my hand for her then she bites my wrist and I feel her strong suction pulling my blood, I let her continue until she is satisfied which lasts until I'm halfway down my blood, it seems she has a big appetite.

When she let go of my arm her eyes sparkled as she licked her lips.

"Looks like you enjoyed her meal." (I)

"Your blood is magnificent master…I mean Father." (Hela)

Everyone who drinks my blood says so and I can understand that, my blood has thousands of bloodlines mixed in, that alone would be good enough to make any vampire's mouth water, but that's not all, from what my sisters told me, the fact that me having Pure Elemental Affinities and Blessings of Gods also nourishes my blood, all this not counting my Divine lineage.

For all these facts that even my sisters ask to drink my blood sometimes.

"I'm careful." (I)

"Don't worry, this time I'm confident." (Hela)

I move away from her going backwards, so I see her walk towards the center of the ritual instead of staying outside, I was worried that I knew the place this ritual was trying to connect from, so I wanted to call her, but I hesitated remembering since she's the expert here, I have to trust her.

I see him slash his hand and cause a trickle of blood to flow from her hand onto the summoning crystal which continued to ooze down until it reached the floor below where the ritual magic circle was.

With this thread of blood connecting Hela, the summoning crystal, and the ritual circle below, I soon realize that Hela's mana has started to flow through this blood and the ritual lights up.

"< Death Familiar Summoning Ritual: Activate >" (Hela)

Soon all the items scattered by the Ritual began to dissolve and be absorbed by the Ritual making the design of all the magic circles light up even more, at first it was just a red light since the crystals forming the ritual were made with my blood.

But in a short while the red light turns into a black light which soon after was followed by flames burning the blood crystals forming black flames which were attracting death energy from the surroundings, the light these black flames emit was dark blue, this gives a macabre feeling to the environment and frightening for Hela in the middle of this macabre ritual.

"< May my offer be accepted for the imprisonment of all that is impure, may the one I seek be released from his bonds and obey me. >" (Hela)

"< Necromancer Summon >" (Hela)

"Listen to my voice and come to me, become my power and I'll give you a chance to walk the world once more!" (Hela)

Hela begins to speak and a presence begins to form within the ritual circle, the power of which is tremendous and seems to bring ruin to everything.

This power and presence was not coming from someone, it was like the presence of nature, but it was the opposite, this energy was full of miasma and death.

Before long the ritual circle began to suck miasma and death energy in large amounts from the surroundings as the flames only increased, this made the bizarre presence grow stronger and stronger just within the ritual area.

So terrifying was this presence that even I felt cold sweat on my back.
