289 Anchor (2/2)

'What makes things complicated is that, the King needs physical touch in order to summon the sigil. And from what I can tell, he also needs to rouse not only his energy but hers as well. The Queen's body needs rest, and every single drop of energy she has would be crucial to her recovery. Constantly summoning the sigil just to meet her is unadvised.'

'Well, she just needs something to anchor her soul and prevent it from dissipating right? That makes this easier then.'

”Your Majesty, I think I have a solid plan now.”

***

Raven left the space inside the sigil.

His soul flew back to his body, making him regain consciousness in the living world.

As the crowd saw him stood up, all of them were expecting him to say something but got nothing from him. Luna was about to ask him what happened but was stopped by his brother. Balmung shook his head, signaling Luna to not disturb him as he knew from Raven's face that's up to something.

Everyone watched as Raven took out several pieces of high quality ores from his spatial ring. Using his raw strength, he crushed them one by one, scattering them on the floor in a messy yet organized manner.

He used at least fifty high quality ores. It had to be known that a single piece of this ore would fetch a high price in the market, yet Raven unhesitatingly crushed them since he has a use for them.

The crushed pieces of ores on the floor arranged themselves to appear like a ritual circle. To complete this process, Raven fetched a jar of beast blood and some bones as well in his spatial ring. He also summoned a huge and decrepit looking Fang.

He crushed the fang into huge chunks and scattered them on the ground along with ores and the beast bones. He then splattered them with blood, just enough to cover each one with a trace. Once all of that is done, he approached Luna and said: ”I need some of your blood Princess.”

Without hesitation, Luna pulled her sleeves up and looked directly at Raven's eyes, saying: ”Take as much as want.”

Raven smiled and kissed her forehead. He took out a dagger and nicked a small wound on her wrist, letting her blood pour over a jar that he prepared beforehand. After filling the jar halfway through, Raven placed a finger on her wrist and used his Chaos Force to close her wound.

”You can take more Avi. No need to worry about me.” Luna said, afraid that the blood wasn't enough.

Raven gave her a reassuring smile and said: ”Don't worry, it's enough. Just stay there. This won't take long.”

He then walked back to the ritual circle and brought the jar of Luna's blood by his side. Raven took a deep breath and smacked his chest hard, causing blood to seep from his lips. Everyone was shocked as they didn't expect that Raven would hurt himself but they prevented themselves from doing anything since they don't want to distract him.

Raven's hands turned into a blur, going through several hand seals in quick succession. He then clasped his hand together and summoned all Chaos Force that he could muster at this moment.

The ritual circle in front of him pulsed with a flash of white light. All of the bones, ores and chunks of the fang started levitating and forming a shape of human before everyone's eyes.

Raven flicked his finger and Luna's blood started floating towards the statue that Raven created.

As Luna's blood started seeping through the statue, its facial features started become more and more defined. So much to the point where they could almost tell that this statue was starting to look like the Queen herself.

For his finishing act, Raven spat a glob of his blood essence on the statue containing at least 80 years of his lifespan. Once he did this, the statue was seemingly given life and started to look more and more real as time goes on.

Raven then looked back at the sigil that is still present. With a clench of his hand, he pulled something out of the sigil and hurriedly placed it one the statue.

The statue erupted with one final flash of light, causing everyone to be momentarily blinded. But when they regained their visions, they could now see that the statue's eyes were open.
