Chapter 208 Last Night (Ace In The Hole)
<Congratulations Host: New skill unlocked>
<Skill: Chaotic Dance of the Barbarian: The wilder you are, the greater an influence you shall have on the battlefield.>
This was the alert that Chiron received. But he himself was not aware of this.
He was still in that frenzied state for blood and destruction.
Also, his war cries and the melodic sound of his blade kissing flesh and marrying bones drowned the sound of the alert from the system.
And then it happened.
Chiron waved his sword, and surprisingly, there was no sound of it passing through flesh.
He waved it again and again, and the only thing he felt was the weight of blood on the blade.
It was at this point that he left his enlightened state.
He had cuts on various parts of his body. But even now, some of them were still healing.
This was an after effect of the pill he had taken before.
It was night time, and this place was not like his former world that had street lights in the night, or big stadium lights for places like this arena.
However, when cultivators used their energies, it always brings out bright spiritual light in the color of their ranks.
At the moment, the entire arena was still bright with spiritual energy.
Of course, this was not the spiritual energy of those that were dead on the ground.
But spiritual energy of those that were actively fleeing for their lives.
Those fleeing were actually members of other sword clans that had betrayed the chikitsa clan and surprisingly members of the holy church.
Those of the Dagger clan were mostly dead.
The Dagger clan was a clan of assassins. Their discipline was next to none.
Unless instructed by the Dagger father, they were not going to back up from any fight. Even if it meant their death.
For this reason, most of those that had died, were members of the Dagger clan.
Chiron had shaved them down like he was slaughtering pigs.
At the moment, Chiron paused.
The reflection of light from the Spiritual energies all around showed that he was absolutely bathed in blood.
every part of him was bloody.
He might just have soaked in a red pool.
His hair hung loosely. from their tips, blood drops fell.
Yet, some of them remained stuck to his body.
Chiron used his forehand to wipe the blood off his face.
His eyes were lifted up.
His look was firm and sharp.
Of course, he was looking at none other than the two Bronze-level cultivators in the distance.
Knight Sheyi was a bronze cultivator.
He was a very strong one. In fact, he was at the third level of the bronze rank.
However, when he looked into Chiron's eyes, he felt a fire and determination that actually shook his core a bit.
By now, he was aware that it was a mistake for him to have sent all those members of the Holy Church to attack.
He had practically given Chiron a gift.
The Chiron before him felt sharper and more in tuned with the battlefield than the one he had met the other day in this same arena.
Knight Sheyi frowned.
"If you are really that desperate to die, then I'll send you on your way!"
Knight Sheyi waved his hand, and the little girl Lily suddenly appeared. This was the same one he had left to fight Chiron's dragon. "Give me back some!" he ordered.
Her mouth suddenly opened in an abnormal manner.
The moment Chiron saw this, he whispered, "a magic doll!?"
Chiron had memories of this world. He knew quite a lot of things.
For example, he knew that for some reason, all magic users had what were called Living dolls. This little girl belonged to Knight Sheyi.
A thin line appeared from Lily's mouth to her head and her head was divided into one on either side. In her head were three bronze-coloured orbs.
One of them rose in the air and entered his mouth. To be precise, it settled on his tongue.
*DUM! DUM!! DUM!!!*
Like a drum, Chiron could hear something beat in the air. It echoed all around him.
Suddenly, Knight Sheyi kicked against the ground.
The moment he moved, Chiron could feel as if his Aura energy with all its greatness had been blown away.
It felt as if it was wet paper, and should naturally move when kissed with scissors.
This was the magic energy of a cultivator in the bronze rank.
It was nothing like what Chiron had felt from Knight Sheyi earlier on.
In fact, it was worlds apart.
Without anyone telling him, Chiron instantly knew that Knight Sheyi had not used a fraction of his true power during their previous bout.
It was no wonder he was not fazed when Chiron was going on his killing spree.
In his eyes, he was looking at the work of an ant.
All this while, he was indeed capable of killing Chiron with just a slap.
However, he had intentionally held back on most of his power. 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎
Most likely because he wanted to enjoy Chiron's struggle.
But now, it was no more.
He had removed just a bit of the restrain on him.
And now, Chiron felt as if the world was about to crash into him.
Chiron could not summon the dragon.
It was too far, and even if it got here in time, he doubted that it could really stand against the power Knight Sheyi was presenting.
"In that case!" Chiron whispered to himself, "I guess it's time to bring out my Ace in the hole."
Just before Knight Sheyi reached him, Chiron dug his hand into a shadow pool and pulled out someone by the hair.
This was a person that had not shown her face throughout the entire battle.
It was someone that all the elders of the clan knew and respected.
Yes! it was the Half-Elf Elder known as Ellen.
This was Chiron's Ace in the Hole.
