Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

The sun had risen high up in the sky. However, the trees of this forest had wide spread out branches with thick bushy leaves that made the people on ground assume the sky was about to rain.

The Students moved with speed towards their destination. Brushing past trees like the wind. For many of them, their swords remained traditionally by their sides. However, Chiron had his on his back.

Regardless of the One ton of weight, Chiron moved through the forest with speed. Even though he did not have a Dantain and could not use and focus spirit energy into strengthening his body parts, he still moved with top speed, catching up to the other students that used spirit energy.

In fact, Carla had suggested they stopped half way to replenish their spirit energy, but Chiron just continued onward until he arrived close to the nest of the beast.

Surprisingly, he was the first to arrive.

This children were young and twenty kilometers was not an easy distance for them. However, this was different for Chiron. He had been running such long distances for a long time in his life.

Twenty kilometers was nothing to him. Even if he was running another thirty kilometers, he would still achieve the same results.

Chiron got in position a few hundred meters away from the nest.

He hid behind a tree. A few seconds later, his other teammates joined him. Each and everyone of them hid behind different trees just like him.

Even from Chiron's position, he could hear their panting. This short run had taken its toil on them.

For some like Omo, it was worse.

"We should form a plan. I don't think that we..."

"Shush!" Chiron shushed Carla up before she could say more. She wanted to complain but he pointed into the distance and looking at the nest in the distance, she kept quiet.

The nest laid at the foot of a big tree with broad leaves that made for strong shade on the ground. It was just like any bird nest. Except that it several times bigger than that.

From the distance Chiron and his Teammates were hiding, he could perfectly see the eggs of the Green Skinned shadow Leopard.

The cored beast's eggs were big and had a strong resemblance to the size of ostrich eggs. They were all black with green spots on them.

At the moment, one of the students that had arrived before them, was making his attempt on the eggs.

Chiron looked around with his sharp eyes. He could clearly see that they were students all around the place. Some of them hid in the tree tops, within the shrubs and bushes and some of them laid quietly on the ground.

Even though this was a competition, no body stopped the boy that was making an attempt on the eggs. The nest was empty except for the eggs.

The boy was careful. He tried as hard as Possible not to make any noise as he approached. The eggs were now before his sight. Just a little more, and he would get it.

His eyes were already bright with the joy of his achievement and his lips already bloomed into a deep smile.

However, just when his hands were about to touch the first egg...

*SWOOSH!*

It was so fast that the only thing this boy could remember before passing out, was the fact that his world had suddenly been turned upside down.

unknown to him, the Green skinned shadow Leopard had stroke and it had done it fast.

Chiron had watched attentively as the beast attacked. It had literally materialized from the shadow beneath the nest. It rushed at the boy with its fangs and teeth wide open.

Its sharp claws had gunned for the boy's legs. Shaving them both and cleanly cut them from the knees down, like there were fruits for salad.

The boy was not even give the luxury of screaming in pain before he passed out from the shock.

Fortunately for him, his team mates had rushed just in time to attack the beast with their swords before it could further dissect him up.

The team leader of this team was surprisingly Nora. She attacked the beast ferociously. But the Green Skinned Shadow leopard was true to its name.

It was fast, flexible and worse of all, it had the ability to dive into shadows.

It nimble dodged all her attacks and made it back into shadows on the ground.

There was no time to waste. Nor and her teammates pulled the injured boy to safety. Blood pored out from his severed limps like the earth spitting out a spring of water. Pieces of his mangled flesh pulled along the ground like melted cheese leaking from tightly pressed hamburger about to reach carefree lips.

Even from the distance Chiron and his teammates were hiding, they could still see the white of his bones as his gushing out blood made a nice attempt to color it red.

However, that was not all. The cored beast pulled into its shadow world one of the severed limbs.

Chiron observed all that had happened from the position he was hiding and he frowned. In his opinion, something was not right.

Chiron thought hard. The cored beast was just like he had remembered it was. It was hairless and had green skin, hence the name.

​ It was the height of the knee of a grown man. Its eyes were yellow, its fangs formed a wide 'W' from the lower jaw and a wide 'M' from the upper. Both of which merged into one another when it closed its mouth.

Just one look at those jaws and the fate of who so ever was going to be unlucky enough to meet them was already sealed in the afterlife.

But the most dangerous part of this beast, was most likely its claws. It had one on every finger of its paws. There were at least five inches long and were so curvy and sharp that there looked like mini versions of Japanese Katana.

Every physical feature that the Green skinned Leopard possessed made it an apex predators. With its ability to merge into shadows, it was not a Cored beast that one should underestimate.

However, it was not its features or the fact that it just made one of the students crippled for life that made Chiron frown. Rather, it was the fact that he could clearly see that this beast was actually a yellow cored beast.

This was not what Chiron was expecting to see. He was expecting to see a beast that had been been mistaken for a yellow cored beast but ended up being a green cored beast.

The cores of beasts was usually denoted by the color of their eyes. This was the same for all cored beasts regardless of their type.

Chiron could remember that the MC of the book did not have the privilege of taking the tests. However, rumors of the event that had played out during the test went round like wild fire.

And in those rumors, Chiron remembered that the beast was a green cored beast.

Chiron sat behind the tree and closed his eyes to think carefully.

Did his appearance in this world change something again?

He could not help but ask himself such questions. After all, a beast's core was easily recognized on first sight of its eyes. There was truly no way that an elder could make such a mistake, but the rumors from the book said otherwise.

For the first time, Chiron was certain that he was lacking relevant information. His sixth sense for death was telling him that danger was close.

He did not know why, but he had an uncomfortable feeling he could not get rid of.

Just then, he heard a sharp scream. Yet another unlucky victim had fallen prey to the claws of the cored beast. Chiron peeped over. This time around, the victim had lost a hand.

His teammates pulled him away from the nest.

Chiron noticed that the Green skinned shadow Leopard did not give chase. Rather, it pulled the severed limb into the shadows to munch on.

This was another attribute of the beast. From the moment it laid its eggs to the time the eggs hatched, it did not leave its nest.

It used its own eggs as bait to lore in prey that it fed on.

This way, it killed two birds with one stone. It protected its young and still hunted for food. It was a cruel but beautiful strategy by mother nature.

After the last the two disasters, the students realized that the task was not as easy as they thought it was going to be.

The students waited in their hiding spots. Each team cracking their heads to formulate a plan.

In this manner, a few hours passed. Chiron looked up into the sky , and then at the extending shadows on the ground. Another problem that the students never considered was slowly coming to play.

After all, the elders never gave a time limit for the test. But what would happen if night fell.

Against a creature that swarm like fish within the shadows, they would be like fish for a frenzied hungry shark...
