At the mont, luck had played its role. Just a slight shift of Nora's weight on his body had helped him.
Chiron gritted his teeth as he stretched as hard as he could. His middle finger, only barely brushed against Devil's touch. But it was enough. This was all that was required for the sword to hear its master's call.
Imdiately, the sword was attracted to Chiron's hands like tal was attracted to a magnet.
At this point, Cablen's sword was rely a few inches away from cutting the brother and sister pair into two.
Chiron knew for certain that if Cablen succeeded in killing him, no severe consequence will befall him.
Although killing Nora would invite the anger of the clan, it would not be as far as to also kill him. After all, he was still an A-grade Dantain cultivator.
At most, Chief Dona would tell Aleen that Cablen had done it on impulse. Which of course was a normal regular thing with children.
But most importantly, his rise to the top would end even before it had the opportunity to start.
Chiron had to give it his all.
The muscles in his hand bulged tightly. The need for survival pushed his brain to release the limiters it had on Chiron's reaction timing and speed.
Chiron gritted his teeth so hard that it made audible sounds in Nora's ears.
This was it. He was going to have to give it his all.
Devil's touch felt it. It's master's need for its strength, and so without even waiting for Chiron to verbally give permission, it connected with its master's feelings as it drank Chiron's blood.
The blade glowed Crimson as Chiron only barely, by the skin of Devil's touch edge, block the attack.
*CLANG!!!*
A loud ringing sound was heard.
The student's attention was brought to what just happened.
Cablen had lost. yet, he attacked his opponent after the match.
Cablen attacked once. Chiron had blocked it. However, he was not satisfied and wanted to attack again, but when he brought his sword down, he noticed sothing wrong. His sword was halved.
It was at this ti that Elder Joules rushed in and smacked Cablen.
Cablen fell a distance away coughing up blood.
"CABLEN!!!" Elder joules called to him with a very stern expression on her face, "how dare you? What do you think you are doing?"
Cablen still wanted to rush forward but Elder joules stood before him.
It was at this point that his tense nerves cald down as he realized the consequences of what he had just done.
anwhile, Nora imdiately stood up from Chiron's body. She looked at her brother and scread as her tears watered down.
Her scream was the last thing Chiron heard before his hand dropped Devil's touch and the light in his eyes faded into darkness.
...
Slowly, Chiron opened his eyes to a familiar ceiling. Seeing this, he tried to rush up as he sat up right. But the pain he felt from his body sent him back to the bed.
His entire body was screaming in very uncomfortable pain. He groaned lowly as he tried to sit upright again.
He barely managed it, but he felt a lump in his chest and he cough it out to his side.
As one would expect, it was blood.
he coughed so more.
"Big brother! thank goodness. you are finally awake." Nora heard his coughing and ran into the room.
She patted his back and used a cloth to clean the blood stains around his mouth before passing him a bowl of warm water to drink.
At first, he was slow but soon realized how thirsty he truly was and greedily drank from the bowl.
Chiron felt better, but just water alone was not going to help with the pain he was feeling.
"Big brother! you should really take it easy! The physician said you have severe internal injuries and that you lost a lot of blood."
Chiron breathed heavily. The last thing he rembered was the sneak attack from Cablen. So how, he managed to have survived. Chiron looked at his body. He was as good as an Egyptian Mummy that was ready to be buried.
He had bandages everywhere except on his face.
"So I did not die?" Chiron whispered to himself.
Nora heard his words and frowned, "Big brother! don't say such things. What do you an by that? Do you rather die than stay in this world with your cute sister!?"
Chiron heard her words and it made him crack a smile, "co here!" he pulled her close and stroked her head a little. "My cute Ra ra. It seems that I made you worry a lot."
Nora nodded as she hugged him, and soon, she was shedding tears.
Chiron consoled her until she stopped crying, and then he asked her to let him sleep a little.
However, the mont she left the room, the smile on his face disappeared.
The first thing Chiron did, was to activate the system.
As expected, he had notifications.
