After the MC of the book left the Holy church, he wandered around the world in search for meaning to his existence.
As a man without a home or family, he had essential become a Scholar.
His only hunger was for knowledge, and a better meaning to life.
He met a variety of people, and engaged in different cultures.
One of such was a small tribe that lived in one of the most dangerous parts of the world.
Their entire tribe was surrounded by a special Cardinal Point where Cored beasts were as much as ants in a colony.
Survival was the catalyst for innovation.
They used ancient Runic symbols to channel the power of beast cores into their own bodies.
This made them neay invincible to attacks.
Of course, the ritual had very rigid requirements.
For example, the proximity to the ritual site was one of them.
Straying too far would render the process useless.
They were others, like the kind of beast to use.
Each beast a distant cousin of the other.
This allowed their energies to flow freely and compliment each other.
This was not something Chiron could do before.
However, he now had access to the treasure of an entire kingdom to use at will.
In truth, this was actually an experiment.
Chiron was still in the theory of testing a lot of things he knew from the life of the MC.
This was one method to increase his own strength.
He decided to test it on Carla because of firstly, her demon nature.
If the experiment went wrong, it was easier for her to heal. Besides, in the worse case Scenario, she would just blow up as a result of too much power.
Secondly, he wanted to take notes and see how he could increase its efficiency.
This part was most important.
For instance, the range was too little.
Till now, Carla had to stay in close proximity to the Palace.
She could not even chase those that ran away.
All she could do was extend her demon energy to rush at them to kill them and block their escape route.
This was not what Chiron wanted.
While others were watching a show, he was making adjustments in his head, calculating the best replacements for Some runes or some other materials.
Although it looked like he was just watching, he was actually calculating.
He had very big things to worry about.
After all, he now knew that they were eyes on his every move.
He needed to increase his strength and find a way to get out of their radar.
Thinking this much, his eyes settled in a particular direction.
That was the location of the Cardinal Forbidden zone closest to him.
The Forbidden Fog of unbounded Demise.
The last time, he had only entered the tip to hide from General Buckle's pursuit.
But even then, he had felt as if his shoulders became lighter.
That feeling that he was being peeped at was no longer there.
Besides that place had something he needed.
Something that Dylan's destiny was tied to.
All he had to do was quench the attacks that Fate was going to present because of his latest achievement.
If not, going into that place now, was him looking for death.
Cardinal Forbidden zones were hell on earth.
He could not imagine the way Fate would twist things just to see him die.
Only a madman that had no value for life would believe that playing with death was an adventure.
Chiron's goal was eternal life.
It had always been. As such, he took his steps carefully with detail planning.
Down below, the fight was starting to reach its climax.
Razad had given Carla very fatal wounds a few times but she kept bouncing back like a stubborn flu.
Spreading her destruction every where.
Many of his men unable to hold back had dropped their weapons and ran for their lives.
Razad too was now filled with fear.
Besides, he was also running out of Spiritual energy.
A cultivator without power was useless.
"Fuck this!" Razad cursed as he tried to retreat.
However, as the head of the rebel group, Carla was not so kind as to let him escape her grasp.
In this manner of constant push and pull between escape and capture, Razad finally ran out of spiritual energy.
This rebellion ended with his resisted capture.
The throne room of the palace was wide and made bright from the high chandeliers.
The air was warm regardless of the cold outside the palace due to the ending winter.
However, for cultivators, except it was a special kind of cold or weather containing violent energies, it did not affect them at all.
Chiron sat on the throne as he watched Carla dragging Razad into the throne room.
Blood dripped from her body staining the ground as she advanced forward.
On either sides of Chiron stood Captain Timi and Commander Hardstone.
Both of whom watched in silence as Carla brought the well beaten Razad into the Palace and dropped him before Chiron's feet.
He had a swollen cheek on one side, and his right eye was purple shut tight as a result of the beating he had received.
Razad raised his head to this hated enemy.
He chuckled a bit, "I still have men coming in from the north gate. They are twice the number I brought. The man that leads them will not care for my capture."
Razad spoke through the swelling of this mouth.
He even managed to crack a smile, "he has bronze ranked cultivators with him. They will bring you to your knees and restore the Chanland Kingdom to it's former glory."
Chiron chuckled, "oh really! Do you perhaps mean that man?"
Chiron looked in a particular direction and Razad's eyes subconsciously followed.
To his surprise, he saw Iceberg matching into the throne room from a side door with the bronze level cultivators coming behind him.
They matched up to Chiron's throne and took a knee in salute.
Razad was left speechless...
