An unbelievable match between man and beast had just been concluded. Or rather, boy and beast.
If this match had happened on an open space or a plane field, Chiron would have most likely ended up like one of the other children.
However, his sword was currently in the chest of the Green skinned shadow beast. This was an incredible achievement. Never before had it been done.
After all, Chiron was not a cultivator but an ordinary person. He had fought and won against a beast that was equivalent to a peak-ranked stone-level cultivator.
Of course, he was running for his life during most of the fight. But the truth is that nobody would care about that. At the end of the day, the end result was the most important thing.
Chiron passed out beside the beast. As he did, an elder landed not so far away from the two of them and another one landed directly on the body of the beast.
Elders were all of the copper ranked. Even if this beast was still alive, there was absolutely nothing it could have done to this elder.
"Is it dead!?" The elder that landed close to Chiron asked.
The one on the beast's body Checked the condition of the beast and nodded his head in affirmation, "the sword went straight for its heart."
Both of them looked at each other. They both saw astonishment in each other's eyes.
And then they looked at Chiron. Even without talking, they could tell what each other was thinking.
An ordinary human being had defeated a cored beast with his wits.
One of the elders suddenly shook his head, "this is unfair!"
The other one nodded in agreement with him, "yes! it is truly unfair. The heavens gave the Chikitsa clan a child of such incredible ability and he had to come out a Tamashi. If only he had cultivation talent like his sister to pair such calculative ability, he would have really taken the clan to many formidable heights."
The other elder also nodded.
These elders really felt pity for Chiron.
The truth was that from the moment the first signal for help was sent by Carla, The elders had moved. They were all copper-ranked cultivators. Fifty kilometres was nothing for them.
Elder joules had immediately gone to help the children, and since the beast was Chasing Chiron and Nora who was the current pride of the clan, the remaining two clan elders had rushed in the direction that Chiron had taken.
However, when they got close enough, they were fortunate enough to see when Chiron had let Nora go, while he stayed to hold down the Green skinned shadow beast.
At the time, they had thought that what he did for his sister was quite honourable, but also believed it to be incredibly stupid.
Chiron was a normal human being, there was no way he was going to know that cultivators of such high ranks were watching from the shadows.
For these elders, Nora's safety was their priority. Since Chiron had done such an honourable thing, they had agreed to let him have an honourable death at the claws of the beast.
Chiron was a useless Tamashi. To have performed such a sacrifice for the clan's benefit was seen to be the greatest of his use.
They really did not have any intention to save him.
However, time and time again, Chiron surprised them with his ways.
One trick after another. His need and hunger to survive pushed him past the expected human limit, and he achieved the impossible.
Even these men had to admit that Chiron had by far proven himself. He was selfless when saving his sister, and he was very cunning to the end of the fight with the Green skinned shadow beast.
If only they knew the things Chiron had done at the start of the fight, they would not think so much.
The elder on the beast stretched his hand into the wound on the beast's chest and removed the beast's core from it. The Green skinned shadow leopard was a spirit beast.
And just like human beings had their dantains in their chest, it also had its Beast core in its heart.
The elder took the green beast core from the dead animal. He tried to pull out Chiron's sword from the beast's chest. Although the weight of a ton was nothing to a cultivator of the copper rank, the weight of the sword still took him by surprise.
he could not imagine how Chiron was able to move it.
He carried the sword and also the Male Green Skinned Shadow beast egg, while the other elder carried Chiron on his shoulder and left.
A few days later, Chiron opened his eyes. This time around, he did not open it to a familiar ceiling. This took him by surprise.
He tried to get up, but the pain he felt from his entire body weighed him down.
However, he forced himself to get up, and he did. He sat upright.
As one would expect, most of his body was bandaged.
Apart from the two major injuries he got from the beast which were the one on his abdomen and the one on his back, he still had other injuries from either branches from the trees or injuries from the times when he was almost caught by the beast's claws.
He sat upright and looked around.
The appearance of this room was different. Since he came to this world, he had never seen the interior of a home as heavily decorated as this one.
If he was to describe it in one word, he would say it was: LAVISH!
The place had a nice Jasmine smell. The walls had beautiful paintings of women in exotic postures. The bed Chiron laid on was wide and looked like it could fit another ten of him.
The sheets were made of white silk and the pillows were so soft that Chiron felt as if there were from his previous world.
The windows were covered with curtains, and the room was made lightened as a result of spirit lamps on the walls.
Chiron wanted to come down from the bed, but he heard a voice that stopped him.
"You shouldn't move too much my lord!"
Immediately, he heard the voice, he instantly knew who it was.
He turned around, "Ellen!"
"Yes, my lord!" She responded as she entered the room. As one would expect, her outfit was ever disturbing to the senses. But her face showed tiredness. It seemed like she had been working really hard for some time now.
Ever since that encounter she had with Chiron, she had thought him to be a Godchild.
Chiron was only eight years old but was able to fluently speak the Elven tongue, and even Rune speak.
And he also knew the solution to her problem. There was no other logical explanation for all these things except that he was a Godchild. This was the reason why she referred to him as 'Lord'.
"You have been passed out for almost a month now. The elders brought you straight to me." She added.
"Hmmm!" Chiron nodded. It was really a good thing that he subdued this woman. With the kind of injuries he sustained from the fight with the beast, if he had not died, then he would have at least been left a cripple.
At least Chiron was sure that this would have been his fate if he was in his former world.
Healing techniques were one of the very few ways that this new world surpassed his formal world.
"I have been looking after you all this time." She came before him and bowed at the edge of the bed.
As she bowed, Chiron instantly understood something. Ellen had bowed low enough that the deepness of her cleavage was directly in Chiron's face.
Chiron instantly knew what this woman was doing.
She was trying to seduce him. With the kind of abilities Chiron had shown, she was sure he was a godchild. If she became so much as a concubine or even a plaything for a Godchild, she knew that her future would be far brighter than the walls of this clan.
Rumours about Chiron killing a Green cored beast had already gone around the clan. Normally, such a thing was inconceivable. Even a cultivator of the stone rank would have died at the hands of the beast.
Although the story of how Chiron did it was not clear, and had definitely become warped with the addition of much pepper and spice to the story, he had definitely done it.
When Ellen learnt of this, she could not help to believe that Chiron must have used some of his godly abilities. After all, it was known that the heavens favored Godchildren.
She was not aware that Chiron was actually not favored by the heaven's but was currently being hunted by Fate.
Chiron could instantly tell that this woman was charmed by him. This was the reason she had put in so much effort for the preservation of his life.
However, he really could not be bothered with her. And this was aside the fact that she was literally older than his great grand parents.
He just couldn't be bothered with mundane pleasures.
Just then, Chiron's eyes caught a certain item on a table by the side of the bed. This was the Male egg that belong to the beast.
The sight of this made him smile. The reason was simple. It meant that he had been acknowledged to have passed the test by the elders.
This also meant that he could get the last item he needed to get get Aura.
A smile stained his lips. His long hard work and perseverance was finally going to pay off.
