Chiron had to admit that this was a breathtaking sight for him.
He had lived in the rural regions of the Chikitsa clan for so long that he had nearly forgotten the beautiful sight of high-raised buildings.
Now, he really felt like he had entered a Fantasy book.
As much as he appreciated the sight, he was looking forward to what he could achieve in this place.
After all, with all the other clan mbers of the other clans that had co for the Gathering of the sword gas, the Chikitsa clan had barely 15 thousand people altogether.
Most of which he was not even the reason for their deaths. Most had died as a result of the unforeseen in his plans.
However, one look at this place he could tell that this capital city alone had several hundred thousand people.
This was a real thriving society.
And it stared at him like a ripe fruit about to drop from its tree.
Chiron could really not wait to pluck it.
As excited as he was, the expression on his face was still plain.
However, Nora could not stop talking as she plastered herself to his body like a bear to honey.
The tesseract moved into the city.
Down below, Chiron could see the extrely high city walls.
As the Tesseract passed over the walls, Chiron suddenly felt as if a strong spiritual force washed over his body.
Commander Hardstone that was not far from Chiron noticed his frown.
He giggled a bit, "don't worry my prince. It's just the shaman's energy from the temple. It is what protects the capital from external forces. There is no need to fear, it is only checking if we are permitted to be here, and if we are a threat."
Although Commander Hardstone said this, Chiron still did not give permission to be scanned.
He clicked on skip instead.
"And what of my Dragon?"
"Don't worry! They already expect our arrival."
Chiron looked at his Red-blood fire dragon. flying and following behind the Tesseract. It was also allowed entry.
Chiron was not the only one admiring the beauty of the city below.
At least it was different for him. He ca from a world that had streets at night that was far more colourful than this.
And then there was the Palace up ahead.
The Palace was shaped like a mighty Arrow.
As the Tesseract descended slowly, Chiron noticed the mighty statue of a Warrior in front of it.
The warrior had the sa military attire as the one Commander Hardstone and his team wore. However, he had sothing extra.
On each side of his shoulders were the heads of a bear and a Snake.
Chiron could not help but look at the stature.
"Hmmm! Magnificent, isn't it? That is the statue of Mug Morning the Beast Conqueror. Legends have it that he had over a thousand beast Totems on his body. The bear and snake head on his shoulders are his two strongest forms. Ironically, he could also combine the attributes of both."
Chiron turned to the Commander, "why is that a great thing?"
"we use Beast Totems that are ford from Cored beasts to mold our spiritual energy into power. However, there is only so much the human body can take before one is no longer able to surprise the Totems of the Cored beasts. If you are not strong enough, they might even kill you. And that is the easy part."
Out of curiosity, Chiron asked, "and what is the hard part?"
"It is called the Mad turn. A purge of the human mind. A corruption of the spirit by the suppressed chaos that only an animal at the end of its life can produce. It is said that if a rabbit is pushed to the wall, it will eventually bite. What do you think will happen if it's a wild beast? And then think of about five of those fighting for control of one mind. That is even the least. Most have at least ten to twenty. Trust , you do not want to see when that happens." Commander Hardstone laughed a bit more as he turned and walked away.
High up on the several hundred feet palaces lay what reminded Chiron of a Helicopter landing pad.
The Tesseract landed on it elegantly.
As it did, a Gangway leading down was let out of the Tesseract.
Commander Hardstone was the first to co down. In front were n and won in Elegant dressing.
All of which had different colours at the edge of their robes that depicted their status.
On the sides were maids with little to no clothes on. They had in their hands flower baskets.
It was just a landing platform but it was decorated beautifully with a gold carpet that had flowery designs on it. On the sides were also statues of past heroes.
This was a beautiful display of wealth.
The mont Commander Hardstone ca down the Tesseract, he stepped forward before the man in old man in the center with white hair and white beards.
This old man had gold ribbons as the linen on the clothes and a golden crown decorated with little statues of beast animals.
Definitely, his status was King.
Commander Hardstone took a knee and bowed before the king, "Your Majesty. Just as the report we sent ahead of us said. We were unable to confirm unfortunately the demise of Princess Nora."
Hearing those words made the king sigh lowly as he bowed his head.
He clenched his fist tight as he held back the urge to cry.
After all, he was king. But then again, parents preferred their children to bury them and not the other way around.
Even though he had already mourned her many years ago, hope was rekindled and now it even hurt more to have that hope dashed against a stone.
"However," Commander Hardstone continued, "Her bloodline still continues."
*GROWLLLL!!!*
The loud growl of the dragon was suddenly heard as the beast found space on the platform to land.
Its wings ca with large blowing wind that took everyone by surprise.
Clothes fluttered. And Even the king saw this and frowned.
After all, it had been about a thousand years since anybody had seen a dragon. Even though the one before him was young, it was still a magnificent beast.
naturally, his eyes were drawn to it.
However, at this ti, so one else made his entrance as he ca down from the Tesseract.
In front was Chiron. He did not have a smile on his Face. By his side was Nora walking as close to her big brother as much as possible.
Behind him on either side were Emma and Carla, and lastly, was Hunter.
This was a kind of entrance that imdiately stole the attention of all watching.
It even managed to steal the attention from the Red-Blood fire dragon.
However, it was not because of the line up of people.
No!
Neither was it because of their strength. After all, many of these people were far off in the middle realms, they were nothing in comparison.
It was just a kind of presence that subconsciously pulled their attention.
Even for the king, it had taken him by surprise.
After all, for a split second there, he had thought that he was about to et another fellow king.
To this, he shook his head slightly. It had only been for a split second, but it was definitely there.
Slowly, Chiron and Nora and the servants ca down from it.
As they did, Chiron noticed the welcoming party.
Without anyone telling him, he knew that the old man in the center was king and also his father.
Chiron stopped before the man. By the side was commander hardstone still on his knees in his bowed position.
"I present to you, your majesty, Prince Chiron Chivalry and Nora Chivalry."
For a few seconds, Chiron and the king t gaze. Surprisingly, Chiron did not break eye contact.
So one by the side of the king noticed this and he frowned, "How dare you? Even if you are sister Nora's son, bow to your KING!!!"
The Mont he said those words, strong spiritual energy was let lose into the environnt.
It had caught Chiron unaware. This was spiritual energy in the Bronze rank.
This pressure for those of the lower realms was definitely choking in nature.
No matter what, a copper rank Cultivator would not stand when such strong pressure was released. Not to talk of those lower ranks.
However, sothing unbelievable happened before their sight.
*SWUOWN!*
The imdiate unsheathing of blades was heard as Carla and Emma removed blades from their waists and stabbed it into their own Kneecaps, locking it in place.
blood flooded from their legs but there were left standing.
Chiron wiped the blood that flowed from the corner of his mouth as a result of withstanding the pressure.
Chiron smiled as he slowly and painfully turned to the prince releasing the pressure, "I'll have to apologize. I bow to no one, and my servants only Bow to ..."
