Chapter 78 Green Cored Beast Arrives...
While all the students regardless of their individual teams had decided to set a cored beast as bait for the Green skinned cored Leopard, Chiron had also set up his own plans for bait.
What better bait was there for a mouse than freshly made cheese?
What Chiron had just done was like setting a tray of steamy turkey freshly brought out of the oven on the window of a hungry dog's den.
There was no way that the enticing aroma could be resisted. It was just not possible.
The moment Omo got close enough, Chiron watching from far up on his tree activated the seal containing spirit energy he had laid underneath Omo's shoe.
The spirit Seal that Chiron had made were of two types. The first was like the aroma one got from smelling delicious food. While the second one, was an explosion waiting to go off.
The one that was under Omo's shoe was the one that spiced Omo up like extra curry on steaming hot beef.
Unlike last time, the Green skinned Leopard did not wait. The moment it sensed the abundance of spirit energy bursting out of Omo, it immediately rushed out of its hiding place and made a dive directly for Omo.
"AHHH!!!" Omo screamed on top of his lungs, but it was of no use. The beast sank its teeth into his neck and shoulder like a hungry glutton devouring a milky-chocolate bread.
Its claws sank into Omo's back like spoon dissolving into a bowl of creamy lasagna.
It took a defining bite out of his shoulder and pulled at the red blood sprinting meat like chew noodles from a pot of soup.
His blood splashed and poured all around as his voice was lost in the scream of his unfortunate agony.
His right hand waved his sword left and right in an attempt to attack his assaulter, but it was all fruitless. It was all to naughty.
The beast pulled hard at the enjoyable meat, using his shoulders as leverage to pull harder.
The students watched this with total surprise. Nothing had gone as they had planned. They all looked at the unfortunate horror that Omo was suffering from.
If accidentally, it was any of them that had dropped the meat close to the beasts den, then they would have become unfortunate victims.
Nora, who was also watching could not help but imagine if it was her brother that had dropped the meat.
Some of them even made mental notes not to offend Chiron in the future. If it was any of them that had challenged him, then they would have ended up as dinner for this beast.
None of them knew that Chiron did not think in this manner. He really did not care that Omo offended him. Chiron had his sights on better goals he needed to achieve.
Omo was just the unfortunate person to have been sacrificed for his goals. Even if it had been any other person taking the meat to the beast's nest, Chiron would have still served him up as bait.
"HELP!!! HELP ME!!!" Omo's crying scream for help brought the students back to reality.
They realized two things.
Firstly, they needed to save him. Secondly, this was a good opportunity to kill the beast. After all, this was the time to attack the beast.
Nora, was surprisingly the first person to charge into battle. She screamed as she charged at the beast.
She was barely a distance away from it when she attacked with a spirit technique. This was the first time she was using a spirit technique.
After seeing Cablen use a spirit technique during the last test. Nora had bugged her father to teach her how to use spirit techniques.
This spirit technique was the one she had been practicing through out the last two weeks.
*WIND SLASH!*
She waved her sword. Spirit energy that had been molded into a technique rushed out of her sword like waves formed on a pond after a stone had been through into it.
Three waves of spirit energy streamed out of her sword. Each blast landing on the body of the beast.
The hit was true. It landed well on the beasts body. The green skinned Leopard shrieked in pain. Its hide was very though and Nora's sword had barely made impart with the spirit technique on the beasts body.
However, it still made a compounding cut. Each wave Nora had sent, landed directly on the previous one sent.
Cablen saw this. He did not want to be left behind in the assault of the beast. He immediately ran forward and also used his technique.
*IRON SLASH!*
Once more, another cut made it to the beast's skin.
The introduction of Nora and Cablen into the fight was the Morale that motivated all the others into joining their attacks.
Resounding war screams went out as the students rushed the beast with their weapons. The Green skinned shadow leopard left Omo that was now out of life and faced its attackers.
A battle between the beast and the children ensured.
At first one or two more people were unfortunately caught within the jaws and claws of the beast. But soon, the students were making more defining cuts on the beast's body.
Meanwhile, Chiron remained on the tree in a relaxed position.
First came the first alert from the system.
>>Congratulations Host, you have been awarded five points for changing Minor Fate<<
Even without checking, Chiron knew he got the alert as a result of Omo's benefitting death.
Since it had started, why not get some more points?
Chiron had a smile at the corner of his lips as he activated different spirit seals.
Some of the children suddenly lighted up in spirit energy and one or two of them literally blew up for no reason.
This taunted the beast continually. Any person that glowed up in Chiron's spirit energy, was immediately attacked.
Chiron laid back and enjoyed the melody of the alerts from the Change Fate system.
>>Congratulations Host, you have been awarded five points for changing Minor Fate<<
>>Congratulations Host, you have been awarded five points for changing Minor Fate<<
>>Congratulations Host, you have been awarded five points for changing Minor Fate<<
>>Congratulations Host, you have been awarded five points for changing Minor Fate<<
>>Congratulations Host, you have been awarded five points for changing Minor Fate<<
>>Congratulations Host, you have been awarded five points for changing Minor Fate<<
Not all of them died, but many of them would never be able to fight again after this test.
While the students concentrated on fighting the beast, Chiron jumped down from the tree.
His aim, was the nest of eggs.
Some of them saw him, and cursed at his shamelessness. While all the others were concerned about the safety of their comrades, Chiron was diving in to steal the prize-This was truly unforgivable.
The moment Chiron landed on the nest, His eyes surveyed the place for one thing.
The Male egg. This was the one item he was after.
Every Female Green skinned leopard could only give birth to one Male Green skinned leopard in her life time. The Female beast considered them to be quite valuable.
Chiron found what he was looking for. He carried it from the nest. However, the moment he did, a faint realization hit him. And fear like he had never felt before gripped his heart.
Now, he finally understood why the rumor in the novel said that the beast that had slaughtered the children was a green cored beast.
"SHIT!!!"
