Chapter 8 - 8. Heavenly Wave

Noah Orion's POV

"Alright! Now this is the point we all have been waiting for.",

The announcer said.

"The 2nd son of the family, Elijah Orion come to the ceremonial ground.",

The announcer asked.

As then I saw a man dripped in sweat walking towards the ceremonial sword.

"Place your hand on the blade.",

The announcer said.

"Wait 10 seconds.",

The announcer said.

As I then saw the same white fumes enter his heart again and it continued to enter and then the gem turned into a pink alexandrite colour.

"You are Alexandrite Rank. Show us your talent.",

The announcer said.

He then suddenly grabbed the wooden sword and it suddenly emitted an energy which had a blue green colour.

Then he swung the sword, the sword was able to cut the air very easily.

'He is good.', I thought.

Then he started to walk away from the ceremonial area.

"Alright. The next is Nora Orion.",

The announcer said.

She then started to walk towards the ceremonial area and placed her hands on the blade.

The gen in the blade suddenly turned into blue.

"Sapphire rank",

The announcer said.

And she started to walk away.

"Will you not show your talent?",

The announcer asked again.

"A merchant never reveals their tricks.",

She said as she pressed her lips and walked away.

"Ahmm, alright. The next one is Mike Orion",

The announcer said.

"Alright, I will be going.",

Mike said as he jumped and walked towards the ceremonial sword and placed his hand on the sword.

After waiting for about ten seconds, the gem on the sword turned Alexandrite rank.

"Show us your talent.", the announcer said.

He then raise his hands at a distance and then immediately a tree grew and then he controlled the fruits and then used it and transfer the energy to the announcer.

"Wow", everyone was stunned and he then walked away and came near us.

"Nice bro.",

Josephine said as he just messed up his hair.

"Next is Josephine Orion."

The announcer said.

"Next one is you.",

Mike Orion said.

"Good luck.", I said to her.

"Thank you.",

She said as she started to walk towards the ceremonial sword.

"Place your hands on the handle.",

The announcer said.

"Alright then",

Josephine said and then put her hand on the handle.

After ten seconds, the gem on the blade started to shine in a pink Alexandrite color.

"Alexandrite Rank.", he announced.

"Show us your talent.",

The announcer asked and then her hand started to glow in a blue color and then she immediately punched the ground.

"THATT!"

The ground literally had a hole.

"This girl! Hah!", Caroline sighed.

And then she started to walk towards us.

"It's your turn little brother.",

Josephine said.

"Next is Noah Orion.",

The announcer said.

I then started to walk towards the sword.

I saw the hall filled with people from the branch family and the main family but I felt some one staring at me.

As I lift my head I saw the head of the Orion family, Richter Orion look at me.

'Does he know?', this thought passed my mind.

I immediately re-focused myself and walk towards the sword.

The sword was a jet-black sword with a gem embedded on its pommel.

'Let's go.', I thought to myself and immediately touched the handle.

After 5 seconds,

'Hmm! Nothing is happening good.'

Almost as I said it, I immediately felt my consciousness get drawn into a world.

'Where the hell am I?', I thought.

I was confused, it was a world with a red sky, two sun and then I saw the heavenly demonic sword.

"Oh my god. What is going on?", I thought but then what I saw shocked me.

As I saw a man chained up and then he looked at me in my eye.

As we both locked eyes, I felt like I was dying at a rate I couldn't follow, I then felt in my spine started to hurt back and then I felt like I died a thousand time.

I then immediately felt like my conscious return to reality.

"What is going on?"

"It.. it.. is Blood Red Jade level", the announcer said and everyone was surprised.

'What the hell happened?', I thought. As I looked left and right and then suddenly I saw Richter appear before me.

"Show me your talent.",

He asked.

But because the headaches were continuously getting worse, I couldn't hear it.

"Father??", I questioned.

He then put his hands on my shoulder.

"Calm down!", he said as I felt some kind of energy enter my meridian and strengthen it and subdued the headache a little bit.

"Show me your talent!", he asked again.

"Alright!", I said as I tried to remember the feeling.

The feeling which I felt when I lost my family, the feeling when I lost the one I love, the feeling I had in the realm and suddenly I could see the announcer struggling to stand.

"Heavenly Wave", Richter said.

"What??", I asked him.

"Come to my room after the ceremony is over.", he said as he then jumped and return to his seat.

"Congratulations! To Noah Orion for awakening a Blood Red Jade level.",

The announcer said.

I then started to walk towards where mother and my siblings where.

'Where the hell was it?', I questioned myself. The place seemed so familiar at the same time so unfamiliar, I couldn't place my hand on it.

But as I was walking, I put some Qi in my hand to test something and I was correct.

The Qi which emitted from my hand was blood red now. Before it was a bluish hue.

'I have now confirmed once again the path I had to walk was not the path of the head of the Orion family but the path to become the Heavenly demon.', I thought.

"Are you alright?", mother asked me immediately as I went towards her.

Not only her but Josephine as well.

"Are you alright?",

"Yeah, I am fine.", I said.

Then, I suddenly felt a gentle energy enter my body.

Mike has used his power to heal me.

"Why are you guys' are getting so concerned?", I asked as I was confused.

Then they looked at each other with concern on their face.

"After you went there and touched the handle, you were alright but after 5 second your expression changed, as if you have seen a ghost and have given up.", Josephine said.

Then Caroline suddenly grabbed me and said,

"Tell me if something happens I will help you.".

Then I said, "Don't worry, it just the nightmares. We should see the remaining ceremony".

After that, it was the turn of Edgar but he had a Quartz level which crushed him but I saw his Qi level, and he was talented.

'I should help him.', I thought.

And Rin Orion, had the same rank as me and had a high Ice affinity.

After which the ceremonial banquet continued.
