Chapter 131 Choose Wisely...
It had taken the attribute of its master's power.
Chiron waved Devil's touch and the Mass of Web that came at him was instantly burnt to a crisp. However, the moment it was burnt off, the first thing Chiron saw was the sword like legs of the spider heading for his face.
Instinctively, he had raised Devil's touch in front of his face to defend.
*Clang!*
the blades met, but Devil's touch held strong.
Chiron pushed back, and so did the Essence Draining Spider. Chiron discovered that he had underestimated his opponent.
He knew that the Spider was fast and somewhat clever, but this beast had just used a battle tactic against him.
It used the web as a smoke screen to cover its advance, and by the time Chiron got rid of the obstruction, it had already reached and attacked.
It was obviously smart. Chiron suspected that it must have been a result of always fighting Cultivators in the forest.
Slowly, the beast had started to form its own battle strategy.
In a battle of physical strength, Chiron knew he would not win.
This was a beast, and it was a beast with higher cultivation level than himself.
He pushed and leaped backwards.
He hopped from tree to tree. Effectively escaping from the beast.
However, he had only landed on a thick tree branch to take a short break when he realized that something was wrong.
He coughed out some blood.
He immediately patted his body to check for the wound. It was obvious he was wounded, but he did not remember the beast cutting him with its blade.
He coughed out some more blood.
Something was definitely wrong.
Immediately, he willed out the System chart on his physical body.
What he saw surprised him.
According to what he was seeing, his entire body was flagging red.
This was the icon to show that something was wrong with his body.
At the top right of the image of his body, he could finally see what the problem was.
He had been poisoned.
This was a shock to him. As far as he could remember, the Essence Draining spider did not have stings, and even if it did, it did not touch him.
The only time the beast had attacked was when it used its Web.
"Shit!!!" Chiron cursed. He remembered that he had burnt the web that was shot to him.
Apparently, he had inhaled the ash and that was what was poison to his body.
The Spider Stopped at a tree not so far away from him, and observed closely.
Truly, he had underestimated the capabilities of this beast.
It knew that Chiron was going to use his flames, and had countered perfectly.
Chiron could feel his eyes closing. The poison had gone through his nose and into his lungs to reach his bloodstream, spreading all over his body.
Meanwhile, the spider waited and watched attentively.
Chiron could no longer hold his fatigue.
He swayed from side to side.
His balance was off, and he felt the deep temptation to take a short break.
But he knew he couldn't. If he did, then he was practically dinner.
He stretched his sword for his enemy. However, it was not steady.
The sword swayed from side to side.
All this, the spider waited and watched with sharp attention.
Chiron swayed and his Sword felt too heavy, and the tip fell to the ground.
Immediately it did, the spider seemed to advance a bit.
Next, was his Knees.
A knee dropped. Chiron's breathing had become heavy, and even though it was not hot, he was sweating profusely. His Skin color had also become very pale.
The Spider Advance slowly.
Every time it did, Chiron would attempt to stand up, and it would stop, and wait, and observe.
It continued in this manner. Until the flames around Chiron's body went out, and he fell to the ground.
The Spider did not rush. This was a tactic it had used on other creatures before.
It knew that the meal before its eyes, was it's.
It advanced, and when it reached Chiron, he came over him, and leaned in to enjoy the meal.
However...
"Devil's touch, you may drink some."
*Boom!* *Slash!*
The beast Screeched loudly, as its lower abdomen was cut.
Luckily, it had instinctively taken a leap back as the sword was swung for its head.
Black spider blood poured like a broke pipe from the deep wound Chiron had given it.
Chiron stood up. His skin had returned to its usual color. At least most of it.
Only his left arm was still pale. In fact, it was becoming green.
A quick long slash on his arm and devil's touch had opened up a wound on its masters body.
From the wound flowed out blood with the poison.
Chiron waved his hand and the blood flowed in mid air. He waved his hand and it splashed on a near by tree.
*Blood Manipulation!*
Surprisingly, Chiron waked his hand and Devil's touch disappeared.
"Since I have already revealed it, I don't see why I shouldn't push some more."
He kicked against the ground as he ran for the spider.
The Essence Draining spider out of anger and frustration also ran for him.
But it had still underestimated Chiron.
Chiron waved his hands and the black blood that had flowed out of the Essence draining spider seemed to come alive on its own.
It moved like blades through the air and cut off all the legs of the beast.
Naturally, more blood flowed out, and Chiron called them all towards himself.
The spider now had its sword like legs it used as a weapon cut off.
Chiron raised his hand above his head, all the blood that flowed from the spider's body gathered in his hand.
*Blood Manipulation!*
This ability allowed him to be able to use the blood of who so ever his blade cuts as a weapon.
Chiron leaped and landed on the head of the beast, "Choose wisely. Become my servant or die an insects death!"
