231 Chapter 231: Blood
“For what I want to do, I must go alone. I can’t take anyone else,” Atlas explained.
“You’ll be staying behind with Lilith and the others, helping them. It’s only in the case of my failure that you’ll all be needed to fight the enemies to win,” he further stated.
“You want to go alone? Why?” Even though Tyler understood what Atlas was trying to say, he still found it confusing. When Atlas had so many people, why did he want to fight alone? Wasn’t it better to take as many people as he could if he was going for a war?
“Don’t worry, you’ll understand with time…” Atlas patted Tyler’s shoulders before continuing ahead.
They decided to stop asking, understanding that if he had made this plan, then there must be a good reason behind it.
The man lef Atlas and Lilith to a small mansion which looked quite off in this small town, but the mansion was prepared specially in anticipation of the day where Castiel was going to return.
Tyler brought Atlas inside the mansion and asked them to take any room which they preferred as all the rooms were empty.
Atlas selected a room for Lilith which wasn’t too far from the main entrance. He selected the nearby rooms as well since there was no need to take higher rooms.
After taking the rooms, Atlas told Misella to rest inside the room and freshen up.
After Misella entered the room, Atlas left the mansion with Tyler, returning back to Lilith and Luna.
Vor and Lancaster were already there by now as well, observing the creation of the formation.
A few minutes later, a few men also arrived, bringing the bags of blood as per Atlas commands.
“Keep these bags in my room,” Atlas commanded the men.
Tyler told the men the room that Atlas had selected, sending them there.
Atlas observed the information, which was quite big. It was quite similar to what he remembered from Lilith’s book, but it was also somewhat different. It looked like Lilith had made a few changes to it.
“Do you have a physician here?” Atlas asked Tyler
“We do have some people who have some knowledge. Why?”
“I want to ask if they can take someone’s blood without making them feel pain. Is it possible for your people?” Atlas asked.
The young man in the back nodded. “That’s possible. It can be done without much pain.”
“That’s good. I want you to get these physicians ready,” Atlas told Tyler.
He could see that Lilith was still using her own blood to increase the efficiency of her spells, but for that, she had to hurt herself more and more. She was making her finger bleed to cast the spell.
He suggested even before that she should store some blood in advance as that was easier and less painful, but that discussion led to nothing as they all got busy with something else.
Now that they finally had some time and trusted people, they could go through with this. He wasn’t sure if he was going to succeed in taking out the Prince, but if he couldn’t, he knew that a lot of the burden was going to be on Lilith’s shoulders.
In the coming battle she was going to lose blood a lot for these spells and it was better if they actually stored it in the least painful ways.
He still had to talk to Lilith about it, but he still told Tyler to keep his men ready for that when the time comes.
“It shall be done.” Tyler nodded.
On the other end, Lilith also finished casting her Spell, letting out a sigh of relief. The huge spell that could cover the entire world was tiring to cast. Her fingers were also hurting a lot thanks to the self inflicted harm.
“It is done,” Lilith informed Atlas, noticing him on the sideline. “We can start.”
“Good. You did great work,” Atlas smiled as he stepped inside the formation. “Thank you for all the hard work, Lilith.”
He patted Lilith’s head.
Lilith rolled her eyes in response. “You know I’m not a kid, right?”
“Is that so?” Atlas asked, as if surprised at the revelation.
He also held Lilith’s hands which were hurt. He started chanting a spell.
Finding her hands in Atlas’ hand, Lilith could feel a warm energy entering her body which was very refreshing. Atlas had cast a small health spell which increased the self healing of Lilith to help her with her wounds.
It was only after her wounds healed that Atlas released Lilith’s hand.
“Do you want to rest now or continue?” he asked. “You should be tired after casting such a Spell, so you can rest. I can take over the rest.*
“No need. I started it and I’ll finish it,” Lilith responded. “Don’t worry. I’m not tired. I wouldn’t be what I am today if I was that easily tired. Isn’t that right?”
“Now get back. Let me do my work,” Lilith placed her hands on Atlas’ chest and gently pushed him back.
Atlas listened to Lilith and stepped back leaving the formation. He also told the others to step back and keep silence to not disturb Lilith.
Only two people were still inside the formation, being Lilith and Luna.
Lilith sat in the middle of the formation before gesturing for Luna to do the same.
Luna also sat down near Lilith, knowing what was coming. Lilith had already informed Luna that she needed her blood and Luna was prepared for it.
Luna extended her hand to Lilith. Lilith held Luna’s hands. Using her hand, she scratched the wrist of Luna only a little bit. She only needed a little droplet of blood from Luna and nothing more.
After getting the blood drop that she needed, Lilith turned Luna’s hands around, letting the blood drop fall on the group on the formation.
Lilith connected to the formation and closed her eyes, becoming one with the formation to look at the entire world.
