Of course, he was expecting them.
Chiron had imdiately suspected when Elder Ellen had said that Lily was going to stay with him. It was at this ti that he knew that sothing was wrong.
Secondly, it must have not been an ordinary matter for it to have disturbed Elder Ellen.
Although Chiron was not aware that Assassins ca for his life from another clan, he was roughly aware of the strength of the enemy.
The reason for this was because of the strength of the guard assigned to him.
Lily was of the first stage of the Stone rank.
Chiron knew that Elder Ellen would not assign soone that was not capable to take care of him.
This led him to believe that they were people after his life and since Lily was of the first stone rank, then it ant that his assaulters were of the wood rank.
To make matters worse, the entire clan was aware that Chiron had woken up from his coma. After all, he had ridden along side Elder Ellen on a cored beast earlier in the day.
Every body must have seen that she returned to her Manor without him.
And lastly, his father who was an elder of the clan left for a eting.
Even Chiron could see this as the best ti to take his own life.
With these things in place, it was not hard for him to figure out that he was going to be expecting trouble tonight.
However, these people arrived late.
The ritual had already been carried out and Chiron now had Aura. He was now officially a Cultivator.
Although he was now a cultivator, he still had problems to worry about. His thod of acquiring cultivation has left him a wounded man.
Unlike Spirit energy users that had their Dantain in their chests, Chiron had his dantain in his head. The head was the location of Dantain for Aura cultivators.
Chiron was a wounded man, not because of the blood that trailed down from his orifices, but because of his Dantain. At the mont, the walls of his dantain were filled with cracks.
It was only by so miracle or rather LUCK that it had not broken apart and the energy killed him.
For now, it was barely holding in place. But Chiron knew that using it one ti might very well be the reason he might die.
Till this mont, black aura flowed out of his body. This was aura leaking from the cracks in his dantain.
Even though his aura was of the wood rank which was obvious from the green color in his dantain, his aura ca out as black as night.
Chiron did not know why this was so, but for now, he couldn't be bothered.
With the temporary stabilization of his aura as a result of LUCK, he could slowly start to feel parts of his body again.
He looked to the sky, at the two full moons and he felt the inspiration for a poem. As his mind made out the words, his guests arrived.
The assassins made their arrival before him.
All ten of them had co for his life.
However, before Chiron, were only five of them. The other five were hiding at different corners. This was a precaution that Assassins took. Even though the person to be killed was a child, they were always ready for surprises. Also, after many years of working as assassins, it had basically beco a habit.
The reason Chiron knew that they were ten was that surprisingly, he could feel them and even feel their hidden location.
Spirit energy was considered an extension of the body. This was why it was easier or rather better to use a weapon with it. That way, the weapon becos a part of the body and spirit energy can be cultivated through the weapon to beco lethal in battle.
However, Aura was different. Aura energy was an extension of the mind. Although Aura users still used weapons, weapons for them played a different role.
Aura was an extension of the mind, and Chiron's Aura was not normal Aura. This was because he had gotten it by stealing a soul from the land of the dead, and then converted it into power.
Chiron's Aura, was the Aura of the dead.
At the mont, he was in a graveyard. What better place for his Aura to be at his strongest than in a graveyard? This was practically ho-field for him.
As the saying went: How could a dragon defeat a mighty snake in its own hole?"
This was Chiron's Hole.
