The huge throne room was filled with the echoes of Razad's crazy laughter.
At the end, he did it. he actually did it.
He actually did it.
He actually killed the Prince of that had caused the Chanland people so much pain.
Commander Hardstone's body went weak at the sight of Chiron falling on his knees.
aside from Razad's laughter, there was no other sound.
Capatain Timi could not hold it in any longer and screamed out, "Assemble in the Throne room!" he spoke into a little bracelet on his arm, and immediately, his men including the Orcs rushed into the room.
The moment they entered, they could see that Chiron was coughing out blood mixed with Blue saliva.
These men had gone through a lot in the last few months and had first hand experience when it came to dealing with the Joker's blue poison.
The shock on their faces was evident.
It was only after summoning the men did Captain Timi remember that he could not even tell them to touch Chiron if not they would also be poisoned and die.
He had only called them in on reflex to the situation at hand.
Till this moment, Razad's laughter was still loud and proud.
The faces of the men filled with bafflement encouraged him even more.
However, as all eyes remained on the most important person in the room, another laughter suddenly joined Razad's from the blue.
At first, Razad was encouraged to laugh even more, but it suddenly dawned on him that no one else was supposed to be laughing.
At this point, his eyes landed right on the source of the second laughter.
Slowly, his smiling face morphed into one of surprise, and then as if a lot of thoughts had multiplied in his head to arrive at a terrible solution, his face morphed once more into that of fear.
Yes, it was fear.
Fear so primal that a man with as much military training as Razad could not hold it any longer and peed his pants.
Although for the others in the room, their facial expressions only morphed from one form of surprise to another, it was still a significant change.
After all, the person that was laughing now was not Razad but Chiron.
Chiron chuckled as he slowly stood to his feet, one foot at a time. He then walked forward towards Razad.
As he did, Commander Hardstone subconsciously let go of the fiend.
What he was seeing was so unbelievable that it made him back off a few meters still in surprise.
How could he not?
A miracle was happening right before his eyes.
And then before all his men, Chiron reached for Razad.
Yes! He stretched a hand, his five fingers wide as he grabbed Razad by his face and pulled him close.
This was the miracle. The 'Armless' Prince was no longer Armless.
Chiron pulled Razad closer by the head, "Thank you," his voice gave a light whisper in his ears. "And Please tell Fate I said FUCK her!"
These were the last words Razad head as Chiron squeezed tightly, activating his Spiritual energy and his fire ability.
*Boom!*
Razad's head exploded like a watermelon that had fallen from a story building.
Blood, brain matter, skull particles and some part of his vertebra splashed on the ground smoking hot like a spilled bowl of hot soup.
It was a very disturbing sight to see.
However, none was willing to appreciate the sight of it.
Rather, all their eyes laid on the once upon a time Armless Prince.
Chiron lifted both hands to the crowd, and as if on command, the first person's knee touched the ground. He had only fell on his knees to thank the heavens for witnessing such a miracle.
However, another person kneeled and yet another, and then another, and soon, the crowd knelt in worship of Chiron.
As they did, Chiron waved his hands in a broad smile, sending blazing fire into the air.
No one knew who started it. It might have been the humans or even the orcs. However, once the chanting started, it became his new title. A title that followed him all through the kingdoms.
"All Hail Prince Chiron The Anointed!!!"
The Crowd Chanted his name over and over again. "Chiron the Anointed! Chiron the Anointed!!"
Some Men could not hold it back any longer. They rushed forward and lifted him on their shoulders. Chiron did not stop them. This was not the time for that.
He wanted this cheer and praise to sink well into their hearts. Being aloof was going to ruin the process.
Meanwhile, the system gave alerts.
<1 million points to fix body used>
<Curse energy dissolved>ραпdαs `n?ν?| сom
<Arms restored>
Chiron Chuckled lowly.
Yes! this was a miracle.
However, it was not a miracle like they thought it was.
One of the aspects that Chiron Prided himself with was his ability to choose his enemies wisely.
And if he couldn't, he would try as much as possible to establish a significant advantage over them.
Even while he was back at the Chikitsa Kingdom, he only attacked when he was sure the target was ripe enough.
He engaged in Critical assessment of all his victims.
Back then, he even stayed for lengthy hours at the houses of his prey, studying their every move. Understanding their motive for every thing they did, and understanding their desire.
This was a concept that Chiron had come to understand was the vehicle of every human endeavor.
As much as human beings made logical decisions. it was only in relation to their personal desires.
For this reason, he ensured that he always took a hold of this.
Went it came to prey, the best way to catch it was with use of bait, and the use of bait that could not be resisted.
After all, it was effortless that way.
In this case, Chiron picked his enemy well.
From the moment Razad started his campaigns to bring Chiron down, Chiron had taken note of him.
In fact, he was not the only one. Chiron had taken note of all the Rebel leaders.
However, Razad fit the perfect target description. This was especially because Razad seemed to be getting funding from somewhere or someone.
The prove of this was the fact that Razad was able to acquire two Tesseracts regardless of only ever being a People relations Officer in the military.
Tesseracts were not so easy to have. They were very expensive and Powering them required large Spirit stones.
Rich Spirit stone Mines were heavily lacking in the Chanland kingdom. This was one reason why the Chanland Kingdom wanted Treasure town from the Vandora Kingdom.
However, that did not mean that the truly wealthy could not afford it to an extent.
Chiron had killed off great powers of the state. But that did not mean that some truly old and ancient families did not have certain powers or could no longer afford certain luxury goods.
One of such was the Blue Serpent Tribe. This was the tribe that had the Joker's poison in their bloodline.
They were well respected and feared within the country.
For this reason, they occupied a lot of governmental positions and enjoyed great benefits and power.
When Chiron had killed everyone at King Ash's Banquet, he had chopped off a significant amount of their power.
Naturally, they wanted revenge.
Seeing as a son of the tribe had risen steadily to power, and won the hearts of the masses, the tribe desperate for revenge decided to equip him with as much power as necessary.
Besides, if he was to climb the throne, it would be to the Tribe's advantage.
However, Chiron also saw this as an opportunity.
Every time he grew in strength, Fate came after his life.
The longer the wait before Fate attacked, the more disastrous the process. In fact, Chiron suspected that if he wait for far too long and Fate made appropriate plans against his life, then he was definitely going to be a goner.
Thinking this far, he decided to force Fate's hand to move.
It was for this reason that he had Carla not kill Razad, and instead bring him into the Palace before him.
Chiron had a firm grasp on how the human heart worked, and time and time again, he had been reminded that Fate used the desire of men to its advantage, spurring them to acts on impulse.
It was like with that time with his cousin, Cablen.
Desire to be the best and not beaten by a weakling like Chiron made him a perfect weapon for Fate to use.
There were also other times, just like the time with Jiri, where Ponzi teased until Jiri attacked on impulse.
Every time, Fate had the opportunity to bend human emotion, it took advantage of it.
In light of this, Chiron decided to push Fate to act now.
It was for this reason that Chiron brought Razad into the throne room, and let him see and hear all that he did.
Even a rabbit pushed to the wall will eventually bite.
How much more a person?
Chiron was sure that Fate would not want to let such an opportunity pass.
Ironically, so did Chiron...
(Author's note: Damn! even my head is smoking right now. I wonder how you guys are doing... LoL. Still in the business accepting gifts and Golden Tickets please)
