Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel-Chapter 121 The Wonders Of Fate’s Attack...

The moment Ponzi moved, Chiron's ever sharp mind went into overdrive.

His life was in danger.

However, this attack was something that Chiron could so easily defend against.

Best of all, Chiron was sure that such a clumsy attack would only require him to activate his aura energy a bit, and he would blast this Jan Jan out of his sight.

Even though Jan Jan was of the high stage of the spirit Wood rank, Chiron could tell that his foundation was not as firm as the big oof was meant to believe.

All he had to do was release his aura energy.

Thinking this far, he activated his Aura energy.

However, something immediately struck him.

Was Fate really this useless?

That Question went deep into his head. It made him calculate even deeper.

Because of his dreams of this world and the countless fights that the MC of the book had experienced, Chiron had a rich, nearly bottomless experience in fights.

He was aware that even the most subtle of changes like the wind blowing at just the right time when swinging a sword could affect the efforts put into that swing that would later affect if an extra effort could save a person's life.

After all, Fate always attacked in the most unlikely of ways.

Every other time, Chiron had to go an extra mile in order for him to overcome the trials set by Fate.

Why was it that it was suddenly easy this time around?

No!

Maybe he was over thinking, but it had to be something else. Maybe another attack was coming from his side or even his back.

He used the corner of his eyes to check, but that was it.

There was no attack.

However, he found something else. And that was the fact that al eyes in the Bureau were looking in this direction.

"Shit!!!" He thought to himself.

If he activated his power now in desperation to survive, that will ruin a lot of his future plans.

The reason was quiet simple.

He had set up his plans based on the reputation he had as an ordinary human without any cultivation ability.

As far as everybody was concerned, the reason that he had achieved the things he had achieved so far was because of the nearly mythical Sword that Ganja the great blacksmith had given him.

However, Devil's touch was currently resting on his back.

There was obviously no time to reach it.

The quickest and easiest method was blowing Jan Jan away with his Aura energy.

But just because it was the easiest or quickest, did not mean that it was the best.

Chiron suddenly realized that this attack from Fate was not on his life.

Rather, it was on his future plans.

It might not seem like much now, but having power was not always the better option when it came to facing an enemy.

It was always better for your enemy to not understand what one was capable of achieving.

If news were to spread that he had some other kind of never seen before cultivation, he might as well start he's planning process again. pan(da-n0vel.c)om

After all, the target on his back would become bigger.

No body liked a threat around them.

For example; it would change how Ponzi viewed him. And although it would appear that Ponzi was a kind senior, Chiron could tell from the continuous confrontation with Jan Jan and the experience with the party members so far that Ponzi preferred the world revolving around him.

That sense of responsibility was his High.

It was one thing for Chiron to be a weak but smart party member, and another thing for him to be a strong and smart party member.

One could be tolerated, but the other was a threat to leadership.

Yet again, Chiron found himself in another dilemma. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

If he used Aura, his future plans were gone.

Yet, if he did not, then Jan Jan's sword was going to hack him in two.

Usually, Cultivators had impressive control over their weapons and some great ones could even stop it mid strike.

However, in Jan Jan's angry state, that was not going to happen.

All this calculations had happened at an impressive speed in Chiron's head just as the sword was about to fall.

However, Chiron suddenly remembered his newly found ability.

The Shadow pool.

But that did not mean that he could just out rightly open one here.

However, he did not need to fully open it.

he looked at Jan Jan's pivoting leg in his stance. That leg that helped him with the force he was to exact.

Chiron immediately willed 10 points into LUCK as he did, he stretched a finger for that leg.

Even if it was just a little, he needed it. No! he had to do it.

He activated his Shadow pool, and just a little was activated under Jan Jan's leg.

Now! What Chiron was doing, was effectively gambling.

Apart from that one experiment he performed once he got the ability, he had not done any other one.

He could not even tell if other people could enter his shadow pool, but at this point, he could not allow all the efforts he had put in place wash away just because of one attack by the world.

If he did such a thing, what was the guaranty that Fate was not going to strike again.

It was all on this one.

As he activated the shadow pool, he also leaned back. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

He could see it clearly.

? The sword had dropped right on him.

However, a bit of the shadow pool appeared and Jan Jan's foot suddenly lost ground support.

Chiron had leaned away but the familiar sound that accompanied the slicing of meat was heard.

The familiar red of blood went into the air and Chiron dropped to the ground.

The sword had cut the left side of his face and down his shoulder, and even into his chest...
