Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel - Chapter 74

Facing the green skinned leopard 2…
“However, that will be a discussion for another day, right now, you all will be facing the Green skinned Shadow Leopard.”

Chiron observed the Elders closely. Each one of them carried a prideful look on their faces. Apart from that, this was the first time he was seeing them carrying swords.

Each one of them had a sword by their sides. This showed the seriousness by which they took this test.

After all, there were going outside the clan’s premises.

It was at this point that Chiron ordered with his thoughts, “Devil’s touch! you may drink a little.”

A rune different from the one that had appeared before, glowed slightly.

Chiron’s sword had the ability to morph and change shape like water. This was how his sword wrapped around his hand whenever he used it.

It was also why he requested that his sword be made to weigh a ton. Essentially, his sword had a lot of mass to spare.

According to his will, Devil’s touch moved slowly like water on the ground. It carried with it the blood paper seals Chiron had made and placed them under the footwear of every student in attendance.

Chiron could not use any of the energies that was required in this world for strength. Therefore, he had to feed Devil’s touch with his blood whenever he wanted to use any of the swords special abilities.

When Devil’s touch was done, it silently came back to him. No one had noticed that a part Devil’s touch had left the wrapping on Chiron’s back, set seals and returned silently.

Chiron clenched his fist tight. For this task, Devil’s touch had taken quite the amount of blood from him. It was a cool morning but sweat filled his forehead and his face became slightly pale.

Nora noticed that Chiron’s appearance, “Big brother, are you okay!?” She asked lowly.

“Hmmm! don’t worry. I’m just a bit thirsty.” Chiron answered as he took one of the healing potions that Elder Ellen gave him from his storage in the system and downed it.

Although it couldn’t immediately replenish the amount of blood he had lost, it was still enough for now.

Elder Joules motioned with her hand and the children followed after her.

Since coming to this world, this was the first time that Chiron was leaving the Clan’s premises. The children followed the elders through the big opened gates. And Chiron’s eyes scanned the gates and the walls.

He noticed that there were paper seals on the walls. He even noticed that the gates seemed to be giant seals.

However, there were not normal seals. In Chiron’s head was a wide extensive bank of knowledge of seals. He knew abut seals from different cultures, both ancient and some yet to be discovered.

Usually, seals had one particular function. He could see that the seals on the walls and even the gate helped protect the clan from wild cored beasts, but the most peculiar thing about it was that these seals seemed to all be connected. There were like the rings of a chain.

One look at them and he could tell that they protected the clan but derived the power to do so from a particular source.

Chiron could not put his finger on it, but he was sure of his reasoning process.

Elder Joules continued moving on.

Chiron had to put his curious thoughts to the back of his mind.

As they left the clan’s walls, they could see traders bringing in their goods into the clan and some leaving.

They followed for a while along the wide general path which was protected by large trees and bushes at all sides.

It was early, but the sun rose from the hiding of the horizon in its golden rays of sun light.

It was truly the perfect time for a hunt.

After about ten kilometers away from the clan, they diverted from the main path and into the very high blanketing trees and bushes.

They went very deep into the forest. Along the way, they were privileged to see many nearly-cored and cored beasts.

All of which were herbivorous and peaceful in nature.

They got to a particular hill and Elder Joules stopped and turned to the students. “We are going to stop here! From here on out, you are all on your own.”

Elder joules progressed with telling them how the test was going to happen.

The Green skinned Shadow Leopard was a carnivorous animal. It was very fast and in the dark, it had the ability to merge with the Shadows.

Having such an ability, made it a very dangerous animal. It was also one of the reasons why this test was conducted during day time.

Fighting the Green skinned Shadow leopard at night would be the same as courting death.

The Green skinned Shadow Leopard of choice lived exactly thirty kilometers from their current point. Although it was called a Leopard, this cored best actually did not give birth to its young alive.

This meant that the Green Skinned Leopard gave birth to its young as eggs. Naturally, there was a period of time for incubation that was required before the cored beast would hatch.

The aim of this test, was to get as much eggs as possible from the Green skinned Leopard.

There was also something else of note that the students were advised to look out for. And that was a special egg in the nest. This egg was a different color from the rest of the other eggs.

This special egg was a male egg. And in the whole of the Green skinned Leopard’s life time, It could only produce one male egg.

It was easy for the Green skinned leopard to allow the stealing of all the other eggs, but that particular male egg was something it had to defend with its life.

That was just the way the Green Skinned Leopard was naturally. It would go as far as to sacrifice its own limbs just for the safety of that egg.

Elder Joules also told them that if any team managed to secure that one egg, and returned with it, that team automatically wins.

The students were divided into teams in other to encourage their chances of both defense and attack against the cored beast.

Of Course the Green Skinned cored beast was a yellow-cored beast. It was the lowest rank of cored beasts.

However, according to what Chiron remembered from the memory of the MC, there was a mistake in the calculations of the elders and the Green Skinned Leopard had broken through from yellow core to green core.

A green-cored beast was equivalent to a stone ranked cultivator. This was not something that the students could handle. After all, the highest cultivator amongst them was Nora and she was ranked at the middle stage of the Wood rank.

Chiron and Nora were separated into different teams.

The team arrangement was done strictly by the elders.

Naturally, they made sure that none of the A-Grade Dantain cultivators and Nora were in the same team.

The moment teams were shared, many of the students rushed into the depths of the forest.

Chiron’s team members were: Carla, the A-Grade Dantain girl that had fought Nora during the previous test. Martini, who had fought Cablen before Chiron and had lost. Tobi, who was a C-grade cultivator. And Omo, who was one of Cablen’s bullying friends.

Each team had a minimum of five members and a maximum of seven.

While Omo was going to join up with Chiron’s team, Cablen pulled him over by the hand and whispered something into his ear.

Omo nodded and gave Cablen an acknowledging look before he went to join up with his team.

This was an action that did not happen without Chiron’s sharp, observing eyes.

Even before the match had started, he had to watch out for his own tail from his own team member.

Naturally, Carla was in charge of this team. The simple reason being that she was the strongest.

However, in the last test, Chiron had also proven his strength. This prompted Carla to make him vice captain.

Omo refused this and demanded that Chiron who was a Tamashi and did not have a Dantain did not deserve to be over his head. He demanded that since he was B-graded, that he be the vice captain of the squad.

Chiron on the other hand, could not be bothered with the instigated quarrels by Omo. He had plans of his own. He neither accepted nor rejected the offer.

He did not even talk to any of them about it and simply set out in the direction of the Green Skinned Leopard’s nest.

This annoyed the arrogant Omo, but there was nothing he could do.

Chiron cutting the boulder into two clean parts with that big sword still remained fresh in his head.

The different teams went a full twenty kilometers before they reached the Green Skinned Leopard’s hide out.

However, even Chiron was not expecting what he saw next…
