Chiron woke up with a mouth full of blood.
He coughed continually to the side.
"He is awake!"
He heard Emma's familiar voice.
She took a cloth and wiped the blood from his face.
Chiron wanted to grab his chest in pain, but naturally, he could not feel his hands.
There were gone.
"help him up!" A different voice ordered. This one he did not recognize, but Emma and Carla helped him seat upright.
He coughed some more.
Emma brought a cup to his lips, "master! its water. Please Drink some."
Chiron felt as if his throat was on fire.
He leaned in and drank the entire cup.
However, he could not help but cough it all up on the side.
She did not mind this and wiped his face clean.
Chiron opened his eyes. This room was not hot but his body was burning up a terrible fever.
Emma used warm water and a clothe to wipe his forehead.
Chiron looked around the room. This was not the ceiling he was used to seeing whenever he fainted back in the clan.
his Chest hurt a lot. Immediately, he willed and summoned the Ancestral Scabbard from the System.
the Ancestral Scabbard had healing properties. While he was on a rampage, he had also made a quick stop at the Bureau for Cultivators and picked it up.
The Scabbard fell on his chest and shone a bright white light. However, it was not enough. He needed it to be faster. The pain was almost crushing and it felt like it was coming from the depths of his soul.
He had no Choice. He spent some points on medicine for his body and out of nowhere, a pill appeared in his mouth and he swallowed it.
Immediately he did, the effects of the medicine took over his body.
the burning pain in his chest suddenly disappeared. The relieve once more made him fall asleep.
...
After a while, he opened his eyes again. Unlike last time, he did not feel any weakness.
The moment his eyes opened, he sat upright on the bed.
This time around, there was no one around him.
The room was not brightly Lit but it was bright enough for him to see his environment.
The room was brightened by Spirit lamps on the wall. However, the design to these lamps was nothing like the one he was used to.
The Spirit lamps in the Chikitsa clan could only be described as Crude compared to these lamps.
? And that was in not just the design and artistic look, but also how it functioned.
At a corner of the room, Lenny could see Emma and beside her was Hunter. Both of which were at sleep.
The memories of all that had happened so far rushed through Chiron's head.
Chiron looked to his arms.
There were no more.
He rule was simple. If it was not useful to him, then it could only be useless.
And in this case, his own hands had become useless.
Ironically, Chiron smiled at this.
Such minor things could not sway him from his goals.
He willed and the Change Fate system appeared before his eyes.
first of all, he quickly filtered through the abundance of Alerts he had gotten from the previous fight.
Almost all of them were Bland, but some were still quite significant.
For example: He had gotten a new title and the old one too had changed.

There were a lot of changes with his stats.
He now had an Extra title as the Harbinger of Chaos.
His Aura dantain had healed up an it was now in the Middle stage of the Copper Rank.
His fate points had also increased significantly.
Even while he looked at it, He still saw the numbers changing.
This was most likely a chain effect from the Chaos he caused in the Clan Area, and the multitude of Devils he allowed into the world.
The Chaos they brought to the world was food for his power.
Without a doubt, a lot of Fates had been permanently changed.
His Skills had also improved.
Eye of the Mind was a skill he could only use around twenty meters but it had now become a hundred meters.
The Shadow pool duration had also increased significantly. Chiron could now use it for an hour.
Blood manipulation ad also increased in its range, and Fire ball had some how increased to Fire canon.
All in all, significant danger also came along with significant growth.
This was a great improvement for Chiron.
the only down side was that he could no longer use his hands.
But then again, who ever said he needed to.
Chiron's head remained bowed as he checked the system, and when he was done, he cracked a faint smile.
"Devil's touch!"
The sword immediately appeared from the system.
Chiron carried out an inspection of his weapon with the system and his Aura energy.
According to the system, his sword was wounded.
One look at Devil's touch and he could see that it was true.
Unlike other weapons, Devil's touch was alive. The sword was literally made from meteorites and the heart of its creator.
In other words, the sword was a conscious being.
After his inspection, he saw where the sword had been injured.
Chiron frowned.
The injury on Devil's touch was not enough to interrupt Chiron's usage of it, but there was one thing that was clear.
The Injury was slowly spreading.
But it spread as he used it.
Naturally, it was from none other than Knight Sheyi.
the time he had grabbed the sword, his cursed touch did something to it.
Chiron signed.
Unlike him, fixing Devil's touch would be far easier.
Firstly, he willed and Devil's touch took some of his Blood.
Even though he had lost a lot previously, neither Aura nor spirit Energy would be good enough for this process.
He needed to use something at a bonding level and that was why he used his blood.
The moment Devil's touch drank his blood and became activated, the curse started to spread.
Chiron willed and Devil's touch became like liquid and pushed the corrupted part of its self out.
This was good as cutting off a limb. It was essentially the same thing he did for himself.
However, unlike his own body, replacing Devil's touch body was easy.
Chiron willed and some Meteorite Ore that was used to make Devil's touch appeared.
Chiron whispered a Rune and one og=f the Rune Symbols on the sword appeared.
It glowed in a Red light in response to the blood it drained from Chiron.
As it took in his blood.
Devil's touch mended with the extra ore.
The part that had been cut off slowly healed up.
Chiron looked at the cursed Ore he wanted to do away with it, but who knew, It might become useful in the future.
he willed and it disappeared into the system.
"You are really filled with a lot of skills!" A voice came from one side of the room.
In Alarm, Chiron willed and Devil's touch Elongated like an Arrow an shot for that corner.
*CLANK!*
The sound of metal hitting metal was heard.
"Don't worry Prince Chiron. I'm not an enemy!"
A Dark skinned man with Braided beard and hair materialized from the shadows.
He had an Heroic presence about him and he carried a strong suppressive might.
"I am Commander Hardstone of the Third Flight brigade of the Vandora Air fleet!"
Commander Hardstone took several steps forward, and then he placed his hand on his chest as he took a knee and bowed.
Chiron looked the commander closely.
He looked Especially at his hand. The attack just now.
This man had defended it with his bare hand.
Chiron remembered this man. He had come in between him and Knight Sheyi during their fight.
"Where... where I'm I?" Chiron asked.
Commander Hardstone smiled. "You are onboard the..."
