Chapter 336 Entrance of the 'Hero'
The moment Claudia lifted her head, the first thing she saw was the blue-cored mountain Lion staring her down in the face.
From all the killing the cored beast had been performing, its face was stained with blood, human flesh, and even muscle chunks.
This was a sight that many would never want to see in even dreams. However, this was now the reality that stared her right in the face.
At this moment, a web of different emotions flooded her heart as her mind, frozen with fear was empty of any action that could have been taken in this moment and at this point.
Her pretty lips quivered lightly, and her teeth clashing against each other in quick succession was all the evidence anyone watching needed to know that this girl's mind had given away to the fear of death.
However, Claudia was not the only person to remain frozen in shock. Every other person around was also frozen in shock. No one had expected Ralph to do what he had just done.
After all, Claudia was not just a member of the village, but also his betrothed.
The blue cored mountain Lion, surprised that a human had rolled out of the fur belonging to its mate stared in surprise.
All of a sudden, its sensitive nose suddenly took in a foul smell that brought it from its perplex state.
Of course, this was the smell of urine from Claudia's bladder giving way to her overwhelming fear.
Instantly, the beast roared as it rushed to clamp her in its wide sharp jaws.
These jaws could easily snap the bones of other cored beasts of the wild like it was biscuit in tea.
Generally speaking, humans were weaker compared to cored beasts.
Now, these same jaws were going to rip into Claudia.
Claudia was not even big nor all that strong. Certainly, she was going to die a miserable death, not even worthy of stressing the jaws of the blue cored mountain Lion as it would be crushed quickly.
Everything had happened very fast, and even the great warriors of the village had not moved in time.
All Claudia saw, was the mouth of the cored beast as it opened up wide to engulf her within its hallow void.
Everyone froze, and Ralph, watching what was happening from a safe distance, even gave a smile. As far as he was concerned, once the core beast had eaten Claudia, that would be the end of it.
For this reason, he was most elated to see what was going on.
There was an old saying that one's true nature was known at the point of life or death. This was not a lie.
However, while the world was frozen, unable to save the life of this soul that had been relegated to the jaws of sure death, a figure in a corner suddenly smiled.
"It would seem like it's my turn to step out!" Chiron thought to himself.
It was practically a gust of wind. Nobody had seen from which angle he had come from. They only knew that he had appeared.
This was more so for Claudia.
All she saw was his slim back profile and a big broad sword that reflected the rays of the sun.
With the way he had appeared, and the timing of it, there was absolutely nothing more heroic than this moment of truth.
This sword appeared right between the jaws of the beast, preventing it from closing them shut.
Chiron paused and then he turned to Claudia who was still frozen in surprise, "Hey beautiful," Chiron smiled.
His sudden stop of the jaws that were to surely kill her made for a sight like the heroes in stories she had heard when she was a little girl.
"Igbi!?" she thought to herself.
But it was not just her.
Every person around that instantly recognized Chiron's face, had the same thought.
The chief of the village froze at this.
He and the other warriors were increasingly shocked by what was happening.
They all knew the kind of strength that a creature of this kind had. They all knew that it was a creature of significant power. After all, it was blue cored.
Although it seemed like the creature's advance to this rank was not long ago, it was still a blue core creature.
Being a cultivator that was at the early copper rank, he knew how strong this beast was.
To defeat such a beast would need several cultivators in the copper rank, or at least a cultivator in the middle copper rank or the peak copper rank.
Instantly, he realized the gravity of what was happening.
This boy before him whom he had never given a second look to, shunning away and carrying the tag of the child of a harlot was actually a cultivator in the copper rank.
From the looks of it, Igbi might even be in the middle copper rank.
However, what happened next made him reevaluate Chiron's strength.
Chiron, with his smaller frame, suddenly pushed forward, and to the astonishment of everyone, the blue core mountain Lion actually took a step back.
He pushed again, and the beast took yet another step back. As he pushed, the beast was continually pushed back. Again and again and again.
Chiron, with the corner of his eyes, saw the expression of the chief and his warriors and he smiled in his heart at this.
He needed to really create an impact that would be a strong foundation in their hearts.
After which, he waved his hand as he activated his death aura that had been masked as the aura of fear.
Bone chill wave of aura energy diffused through the atmosphere, seeping through the pores of everyone, showing the incredible purity of his aura.
Chiron's 'yellow' aura permeated the place and then with a loud scream from his lungs and a powerful wave of his hands in an upward motion, he swung his broad silver blade, ripping the beast from its head to its rear in two equal parts...
