Against all odds, Chiron had stood. His opponent was a beast several tis stronger and even fiercer than himself, but he had stayed his ground.
He had searched hard in his head to squeeze out the maximum use of his brain with the resources at his disposal.
Facing a green-cored beast that had turned the efforts of other cultivators to the effort of soap against water. it had literally washed them away. It had bathed the earth in the ugly-grueso red of their blood.
He had truly gone far and beyond. If this was any regular person, the Universe might have seen his hard work and maybe had so form of pity on him.
However, Chiron was quite unfortunate that his opponent was Fate itself.
He had succeeded in temporarily blinding the senses of his opponent which effectively made him hidden before the attention of the terrible beast.
But mother nature was currently feeling pressed and wanted to take a pee.
While Chiron ran through the forest and bushes, a storm had been gathering. This ca as a surprise to Chiron. To the beast of his knowledge, this was not the season for rain.
And of all tis for the sky to get pregnant with water, it just had to be now.
This was an unfortunate thing.
Chiron in his hiding spot knew he could no longer remain hidden in his hiding spot.
As the drops of rain slowly increased, so did the egg York on his body reduce. The rain was essentially washing away his hard work.
And it was not just for him. Chiron had poured so of the egg York on the beast's nose has a ans of effectively obstructing its sense of sll.
But as the rain fell, so did the beast's nose get washed.
"SHIT!!!" He cursed. He could no longer stay were he was hidden. He had no choice but to give his opponent a head start for his own life.
Blood from the side of his abdon continued to steadily fall.
He picked up a stick, and stained the stick with so of his blood. And then he threw it as far as he could.
The stick hit a tree truck in the far distance. The beast heard this. Its nose sniffing in the direction of the stick, and it imdiately dived in the direction of the stick.
The mont it left, Chiron left in the opposite direction.
He ran as fast as he could, and mother nature also let down her rain as fast as she could. It did not take long for the beast to figure out that it had been tricked.
It turned about and went once more in Chiron's direction.
By now, the rain had washed the egg York off his body and the beast's senses were once again fully restored.
However, Chiron had one more trick up his sleeve.
Chiron had run far, and the beast could not see him, but that did not an that it could not sll him out.
By now, the Green skinned shadow beast was very angry. Ti and ti again, this human had eluded it. It was angry, and in its anger, it was no longer hunting with the skill of an apex predator.
It wanted nothing more than to tear Chiron in two. By now, the rain fell heavily. The beats did not move through the shadows like before. Rather, it ran from tree to tree, branch to branch.
Even though it was raining, it could still follow Chiron's sll which was mainly due to Chiron's bleeding.
One would expect that the rain would wash away the blood, but for so reason, the beast discovered that the sll of Chiron's blood was not reducing but was actually increasing.
The beast traced the sll. According to its senses, Chiron was hiding behind a tree. This tree was large and was so thick that it would take four n holding hands to surround it. Naturally, it also had thick roots that protruded from the ground.
The sll of blood was thickest from behind that tree.
Gently, it stalked its prey. And then when it was sure Chiron did not notice, It imdiately jumped and landed in front of the tree.
However, the beast was surprised by what it saw. The only thing behind the tree, was Chiron's clothes held up by a stick Chiron had nailed to the tree and the Male egg at the foot of the tree.
The cloth was soaked well in blood, but there was no Chiron.
The beast saw the egg and naturally got closer. The rain made the ground muddy and even the beast did not find it so easy to move with all the mud and stones in its way. There was also the issue of the thick roots protruding from the ground obstructing its way. But no matter what, it had to get the egg.
As it got closer, it did not notice that under one of the thick roots was a stone that was not a stone.
At the mont, Chiron was butt naked.
All this ti, he had been thinking hard for a solution to the problem of defeating an opponent that was several tis stronger than him.
Standing to face the beast head on was akin to volunteering for a suicide.
Chiron did not have the strength that could challenge such a beast, but that did not an that he was weak. He still had a brain that had the cunningness of his days as an orphan and street hustler.
Back in his forr world, being bullied by kids bigger than you was like waking up everyday and expecting to see the sun shine.
Survival was always the mother of innovation.
His need to survive then, made his brain think of ingenious thods to either get back at the bullies, or entirely maneuver them.
All those years had definitely not gone in vain.
At the mont, he was hiding under the tree root, he covered himself, from head to toe in mud. He looked more like any of the other rocks just randomly laying about.
Chiron had thought hard about this plan. The natural shade of the tree ensured that the mud on his body was not easily washed off.
He had set the most attractive bait available to his arsenal.
The beast's nose had not lied to it. Chiron was indeed behind the tree, but when it ca before the tree, it was distracted by the bloody clothes and the egg before its eyes.
It approached the egg and attempted to take it.
unknown to it, its entire under belly was now exposed to Chiron. Although Devil's touch was not yet in his hands, in his mind, Chiron had already given the order.
"Devil's touch, you may drink so blood."
Even in the storage space, Devil's touch heard the will of its master and it vibrated in excitent.
The mont the beast ca close enough and leaned in to take the egg, Chiron's killing intent exploded like eruption of a volcano.
The beast with its years in the wild was naturally sensitive to killing intents, but it was currently too distracted and it could not move in ti.
Chiron stretched his hand and Devil's touch shot out of it. It went straight for the beast's chest, piercing through it like knife through hot tofu.
The beast's eyes contracted in surprise.
*GRRRRWWWL!* it growled heavily to the sky and tried to back off, but Chiron would not let it. He pushed for Devil's touch to dig in deeper.
This green skinned shadow beast's skin was very strong. It was a stronger beast than the female, and the skin of the female beast was strong enough to withstand attacks from the student cultivators.
However, Devil's touch was so sharp that it cut through a big tal boulder so smoothly that the surface of the boulder afterwards looked like a mirror.
There was no way the skin of this beast could stand the kiss of Chiron's blade.
Chiron stood up in his muddy nude form, "AHHHH!!!" He scread, pushing the sword even deeper.
The beast knew it, and so did Chiron. Both of them knew that Chiron had won this fight, but a proud predator such as this, could not find peace in the fact that such a tiny insignificant thing had ended its life.
And so in one last attempt to get back at this feeble human, it poured out its remaining energy and smacked Chiron.
This was not an attack Chiron saw earlier enough to completely dodge.
He only managed to bend and turn in ti for the beast's claws to not take his head off his shoulders.
However, the claws took substantial amount of flesh from its back.
The impact of such a strong beast on him also shock his insides, making him vomit blood.
The beast fell on its back with Devil's touch still deep within its chest. The green glow in its eyes slowly died.
However, as it did, it looked in Chiron's direction. That last attack was enough to take Chiron's life.
Chiron also fell on the ground beside the beast. He was in so much pain that it felt numb.
He was also out of energy in both mind and body, and he wanted nothing more than to just sleep.
As Chiron laid there, a pair of legs in the familiar robes of the elder of the clan landed beside him.
The last thing Chiron rembered before passing out was the announcent from the system.
