BXBX NOVEL Chapter 57 Fate Chooses Its Own Instruments...
*Bam!*
Chiron smashed hard at the ground. As much as Chiron would have loved to use Devil's touch to slice off Cablen's face, he knew of a certain that this was not the time nor place for such a thing.
He was a Tamashi. Killing Cablen was only going to cause terrible problems for him in the future. What's more, he did not possess the power to defend against Elder Joules and Chief Dona's wrath.
However, there were many other ways for a person to win a fight.
Chiron let Devil's touch drink a bit of his blood and then he smashed his sword on the ground.
The hit was a heavy one and the ground shook. Cracks forming from the point of impact to the rest of the battle field like spider webs.
this change of events took Cablen by surprise. However, he jumped and somersaulted in the air before landing a distance away.
Chiron saw this and a smile stained a corner of his lips. He turned his sword slightly to the Fuller side (note: Center part of the sword with no edge)
And then he raised the sword and hit it hard again on the ground.
*Bam!*
This time around, the web cracks on the ground became dust and it covered the entire battle field.
Cablen landed and looked around, he could not see his opponent. However, this was not going to stop him.
"IRON SLASH!"
He used his technique on the last spot he had seen Chiron.
*Bam!* Bam!!*
"Ahhh!!!" He heard Chiron scream. This brought a smile to his face. he immediately rushed into the cloud of dust to finish Chiron off.
Cablen laughed haughtily as he rushed in.
He struck hard with his sword.
*Clank!* Clank!!* Clank!!!*
The continuous sword of metal hitting metal was heard.
This brought a smile to Cablen's face.
He remembered clearly that the last time that Chiron tried to defend his attack with the sword, he was left coughing blood. With this many hits, it was not an exaggeration to say that Chiron was finished.
There was no way Chiron would still be able to hold on to his sword.
Slowly, the dusty cloud cleared. The first thing Cablen saw was the hilt of the Devil's touch. the sword was stabbed vertically into the earth.
Yes! it was just as he thought. Chiron was done for. However, as the dust cleared he quickly noticed that Chiron was not at all holding the sword or even close to it.
And then he heard a familiar voice from his side.
"I'm over here,"
The moment Cablen turned to the sound of the voice by his side, he saw Chiron.
However, Chiron smiled at him, and then he turned and threw something at Cablen.
Cablen immediately used his sword to defend, but it was not possible.
And the reason was simple.
Chiron threw a full hand of sand into his face, effectively blinding Cablen.
After losing his sight, Cablen waved his sword in all directions, cursing loudly as he did. However, he did not hit Chiron.
*Swoosh!*
Chiron gave a sliding kick to Cablen's legs and the bully fell to the ground.
By the time Cablen managed to clear up some of the dust in his eyes, it was already too late.
He opened his eyes to see Chiron pointing Devil's Touch at his neck.
*SILENCE!*
Yet again, silence had completely dominated the entire place.
Not one person could say a word. The entire fight from the start to the end happened in a manner nobody anticipated.
it was not quick, but of a certain, it was memorable.
Chiron, a Tamashi. One who was considered nothing but an Eyesore. A tumor to society. on top of that, an ordinary human by wit and skill defeated a cultivator. This was unprecedented news.
Word of this would definitely run the clan crazy. In fact, many people would definitely believe that it was a lie.
Chief Dona watched in surprise, but most of all, in anger. by now, he had sat upright, leaning forward. His hand held the arm rest of his seat so tight, that he actually crushed it.
Elder Joules also stood there with her mouth and eyes wide open. She had even forgot to announce Chiron as the winner of the match.
It took Nora's proud scream for joy for everybody watching to be pulled back to reality.
Nora ran into the fighting ground and jumped on Chiron in a hug. Of course, the force she used pushed him down. But she did not let go. She was just too excited to do so.
It was at this time that Elder Joules unwillingly announced the end of the match and Chiron as its winner.
The moment the announcement was made, an incredible uproar was ensured. As expected, it was in praise of Chiron. However, no one, not even Nora noticed the grim expression on Chiron's face. "Fuck! this is too much attention."
In Chiron's own opinion, because of his goals, he had no choice but to win the fight. But he genuinely did not like the attention. The limelight was not always a good thing. Especially now that he did not have the power to back that fame.
As some people celebrated and some others were still left in surprise. Chiron suddenly got an alert he was definitely not expecting.
>>Host, Defend against Fate<<
"Huh!?" This alert took Chiron unawares.
Receiving this alert, Chiron could not help but instinctively look to Chief Dona and elder Fatso. However, to his surprise, none of them were moving.
It was true that Chief Dona was angry, but that was all it was. And Elder Fatso just sat there watching the development of the fight.
Something was wrong. Chiron could feel that something was wrong. But the source of the problem was what deluded him.
The last time he got an alert to defend against Fate, it was because of the suggestion that Elder Fatso made to test out the Tamashi technique.
It was only natural for him to look at Elder Fatso. However, unlike last time, Elder Fatso was not the instrument Fate had decided to use...
