Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

Knight Sheyi suddenly frowned.

The burst of energy he was feeling from Chiron had suddenly reduced.

"What is it, Evil child? Are you feeling..." he paused and gave a wild smile, "fear!?"

Chiron smiled back at him, "fear!? you have got to be joking."

Chiron took a ready position to attack. The blood floating in the air hovered in a ready position to attack.

Knight Sheyi licked his lips. He really wanted to enjoy Chiron's struggle. He was a cultivator in the Bronze rank.

This was an entire rank and realm ahead of Chiron. Even if Chiron came at him with his full power, spanking Chiron to death with a finger was reality.

This Evil child was the reason he had come all the way from the Holy City.

He had already planned to enjoy the flair of Chiron's skin before he killed him.

"Ahahaha!!!" Chiron gave a war cry that came from the depths of his lungs and then he kicked against the ground, but instead of heading towards Knight Sheyi, he turned and fled in the opposite direction.

"Huh!?" Knight Sheyi paused. He was in actual surprise. But he was not the only one.

Even Rattle was surprised by the sudden turn of events.

As Chiron turned and ran, he gave out orders to Carla and Hunter to also do the same.

The sudden turn of events surprised Carla but she immediately did as Chiron ordered.

If a person like Chiron was running away from Knight Sheyi, then that meant that this was a very terrifying opponent.

After all, Carla had been with Chiron for a while. He was usually bold and in control. And even when he fought the father and son pair from the cutlass clan, he was still a force none should contend with.

But here he was running n as fast as possible.

Stay and fight? Hell No!

Chiron was not some brave fool like the original MC for his book.

He was not one to believe in the miracle of picking a fight he knew that he could not win.

In his opinion, there was nothing shameless about running to preserve his own life.

Petty tags like brave, courageous and Honorable were not a part of his vocabulary in any way.

He would never stand and fight a fight that he knew he would not win. Unless of course the gain out weighed the cost.

However, if it did not, he was not not even willing to try.

At the end of the day, one's own life was the most important thing there was.

One could live, survive and get stronger to fight another day. this was a better option to take than to fight for some stupid believe or cause.

Killing Rattle was definitely going to give him a lot of points these were points that were necessary for him to heal his Dantain.

But Chiron was a very logical individual.

He had just lost a lot of points because of his negligence and over confidence.

Compared to that, the loss he was going to make if he fought Dolly head on was going to be minute in the least.

Dolly was frozen for a few seconds before he frowned and followed after Chiron.

Chiron's powers had just been halved. This also affected his speed.

He jumped on top the building and ran as fast as he could.

As he did, he could see in the as spiritual flairs were being fired to the sky.

These were red flairs. It was signal that the clan was under external attacks.

Subconsciously, he looked to the ground.

At different places, he could see People in black tight overalls. There Heald daggers in their hands and they went on a rampage around the place.

A few of them even came for him from the front once they sighted him.

But he cut them like cabbages as he ran with speed.

The ones that came from behind were handled by Hunter who moved in a shadow pool behind it's master.

"Dagger clan!" Chiron muttered lowly.

A lot of information went through his head at the moment.

The knowledge he had from memories of his book stated that the Dagger clan attacked the Chikitsa clan. but that was only many years in the future.

In fact, that event was still too early by at least ten (10) years.

Chiron instantly understood what was going on.

Apparently the decisions he made had caused such a thing to happen.

This was obviously a butterfly effect of his actions.

He did not know how, and this was not the time for him to spend points and ask the system.

All he knew, was that he needed to run and he needed to do it as fast as possible.

Chiron took a quick look behind him.

Unsurprisingly, he could see Knight Sheyi rushing at him.

He was fast.

"Ahaha!!!"

Chiron screamed as he put more speed into his legs.

Once more, he looked behind him, but he could no longer see Knight Sheyi.

However, Chiron suddenly felt someone tap him from his side.

Chiron turned, and there he was. Running beside Chiron at the same speed.

Knight Sheyi gave his usual crazy smile.

And then slowly, he raised a hand and touched Chiron's arm.

*BOOM!*

Like the hammering of a ping pong ball, he was shoot into a nearby building.

Chiron broke through the walls with his back, and then he rolled on the ground.

However, the moment he stood to his feet, he immediately kicked aginst the ground in a run for his life, as he coughed out blood.

As he ran, he looked to his arm.

At the exact point that Knight Sheyi had touched lightly, something was wrong.

Raising and controlling his hand was hard. And that was not only because he had broken his arm, but because something else seemed to be spreading on it.

It was Black like ink and moved like a snake.

"FUCK!" Chiron cursed.

He pulled a bottle of dragon's blood from his storage and poured it on the area. Just like he had thought, it slowed the ink a little.

He wanted to do more, but there was no time to think about that for now.

If his life was forfeited, then an arm was nothing. He knew his priorities.

However, a few more steps and felt yet again the arrival of danger.

Immediately, he used Devil's touch as defence in front of his face.

He was lucky enough to have defended his face. But what he saw next added to his shock.

Knight Sheyi touched the edge of devil's touch like an affectionate lover, and instead of his fingers to be diced like carrots, Devil's touch Cracked.

Instantly in Chiron's mind, he could hear the scream of his weapon for help.

He jumped backwards as he waved Devil's touch back into the system storage.

Chiron breathed heavily.

One hand hung limply before him, and he tried hard to hold his footing, but he was starting to really tire out, and the entire issue with him having his stats halved was starting to show its effect on him.

"Magic user!" Chiron muttered lowly.

Knight Sheyi took his time as he landed before Chiron.

He laughed a little. "You know, even the elder I had taken earlier did not know who a magic user is. That is just how isolated this clan is from the rest of society, and yet, a boy that is barely eleven knows this. Truly, you are an evil child. I mean look at you! so young, so promising, but corrupt like rotten beans to the core!" Knight Sheyi suddenly frowned.

"This is exactly my problem with you evil Children. You seem to always know too much. But there is one thing you don't know," Knight Sheyi brought out his tongue. On it was a Runic symbol. This was one like none the other. It was a very special Rune.

it was a Rune that not even Chiron could make, and that was because it was from an energy source that was mysterious in origin.

Magic users had always been mysterious in origin.

No one knew the source of their energy, and it was even forbidden for them to speak about it to a person that was not of magic birth.

it was one energy source that even the MC of Chiron's book never figured out.

It is said that if a magic user should so much as think the thought of trying to define magic energy, he would die on the spot.

It was this same energy that Chiron was now up against.

But his problems were far from that.

Chiron looked closely at the Runic symbol on the Knight's tongue.

"Shit!!!" he cursed out loud again, "you are a curse user!"

"Ding! Ding!! Ding!!! I knew you would know it at first sight. So you see, you are basically a dead man." Knight Sheyi crackled his knuckles as he slowly approached Chiron.

Every step was the approach of...
