Chaos Devourer System

Chapter 717: Entering The Tower

Chapter 717: Entering The Tower

Swallowing his pride, Crimson retreated away from Felicie, and reluctantly, Zeras also sheathed his katana before his eyes suddenly furrowed.

He slowly turned his head to the gate.

The emotion was enough to arrest everyone’s attention. In the next instant, they watched as the gate immediately lit up with an incredibly bright light.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A blast of air burst out from the gate with so much power that some of the otherworlders were immediately thrown away from the gate.

Zeras’ feet dug into the ground, finding himself forcefully skidding backward from the horrific momentum, but his face soon changed as he instantly disappeared from where he stood.

Felicie’s eyes also turned to the gate when she sighted the flash of bright light.

The intensity was almost enough to blind her, but her face soon changed when she felt another otherworlder violently flying uncontrollably towards her.

The whistling of the air was enough to result in cuts appearing all over her face, and she could only imagine what would happen if that body knocked into her.

She would officially be blown to a pulp.

But the crazy images that went into her head never lasted as she felt herself lifted away from the path of the otherworlder.

In the instant, Zeras immediately yanked her away from the path and turned back to look at the gate, finding it had opened just enough to allow people in, and some of the top ten geniuses who first recovered already entered the gate.

Immediately, the entire air blew apart as Zeras immediately ran into the space in the gate, slipping past the various geniuses and quickly disappearing into the golden light that illuminated the entire area.

“Close your eyes…” The voice rang out in Felicie’s ears as she involuntarily snapped her eyes closed.

Time passed in absolute quietness, the only sound being the gently thumping heart close to her ears, but soon that disappeared as she felt the entire world slowly come to a calm, and once more she opened her eyes.

Right now, she was lying on her back, and right in front of her was an extra-large chandelier that glowed with a strange yet familiar orange light.

Her head pounded in a slight headache as she felt the entire world appearing in twos and threes, but soon enough she regained her bearings as she rose up from her back and turned her gaze around the place.

“Welcome home, my lower self!” The voice resounded through the hall as Felicie immediately went numb in shock.

She slowly rose to her feet before looking behind her, and her heart stopped beating within her chest when she saw the figure.

The orange-haired and eyed figure was sitting on a majestic orange throne, an orange fan in her arms which she slowly waved around her face, flapping her orange hair around her face.

“You!” Felicie struggled to say. It was the first time she had ever found herself in such a situation, as right before her gaze was none other than… herself!

“Who… who are you?” She finally struggled to say as the girl flashed her a smile. A smile brimming with mischievousness and a strange feeling of predatory lust.

“You still don’t know who I am, Felicie?” she asked her with a knowing smirk. Felicie’s head buzzed before she immediately collapsed to her knees, her head buzzing with countless memories that hurriedly flashed through.

“Oh? A late awakening, huh? Guess it’s not too late then,” the figure said to herself as she watched Felicie quiet down for a little while before slowly raising her face.

Now Felicie was looking absolutely different from normal.

Now she beheld a faint smirk like her, and her eyes were also shining with the same predatory gaze.

“So do you remember me now, Felicie?”

“How long have you been trapped here?” Felicie asked as she rose to her feet and walked towards the figure.

Now her earlier fear had all faded into thin air, and she exuded an extra confident aura that showed not even a single bit of fear.

“Close to a thousand years now…” the other Felicie said as Felicie snorted in mockery and disdain.

“You’re pathetic!”

—

The entire world erupted in an incredibly bright golden light, and Zeras himself had to shut his eyes.

In the next instant, he could feel himself soaring downwards with speed and immediately his eyes snapped open as he revolved himself, managing to land on his feet at the last second.

“BOOOOOOOM!”

The noise was made as his fist roughly stamped on the golden glassy surface, but strangely enough, there was not even a single crack on the ground even though he had landed so heavily.

Turning around him, he identified some among the top ten geniuses who had been able to land before him.

His eyes flashed with a strange gleam when he couldn’t find a particular person in the small room. Zeras hadn’t known how, but now he could confirm it.

When he had entered the door, he had felt a strange force yank something away from his arms, almost like how a knife will be snatched out of the hands of an infant.

The memory had been so fleeting and incredibly fast that Zeras couldn’t confirm it until now when he could finally see around the room.

‘If she isn’t here, then where is she sent to?’ Zeras asked with a raised eyebrow when he sighted the number in the hall increasing with every passing second.

That revealed that they were all being transported right here, but there was definitely someone missing.

‘Well, at least I have done my best to the end of it all. Now, I can focus back on my mission here…’ Zeras mused to himself.

He had followed through with their deal and in the end, had even fulfilled the small favor that she had asked for.

Just as she had said to him before, they had now officially gone on each of their paths, and whether she lived or died had nothing else to do with him.

And with her gone, he could at least now focus on his mission right here.

Looking around the room, it could compare to the size of an extra-large hall.

The ground beneath them was like a smooth golden mirror that reflected back their own picture to them, and it let out occasional golden light with every step.

The wall of the hall had various interlocking runic lines that flashed so fast it was almost impossible for anyone to pick out one particular type of rune, and suspended in the air at the far end of the place was the statue of a divine being.

The being had a total of 12 arms that spread all over it in a circular format, one that Zeras could recognize as one of those golden statues on Earth, but this one was very different.

It was different in the sense that its skin, instead of gold, was pitch black almost like burnt charcoal, and a sinister smile laid on the statue’s face that revealed its evil nature.

To top it all, there was a single line across the forehead of the creature, but within it was currently nothing but hollow inside.

It actually would be reasonable to have an eye implanted within, but due to something understandable, the creature’s eye seemed to be missing.

“That’s the envoy of mischief…” The voice suddenly resounded behind Zeras as he turned his gaze to the side but found nothing and turned to look down at his feet, and that was when he finally saw the figure.

It was a feminine figure, around the height of 1 meter.

Slowly she raised her face to look at Zeras and smiled innocently, but Zeras didn’t find it fun at all as he saw the single line that was running across the girl’s forehead, and he couldn’t help but turn back to look at her head.

“Hmmmm,” he said, showing that he acknowledged her point.

“Legend said its third eye at the center of its forehead is capable of great mischief that can cause entire worlds to destroy each other all due to him, and they would never link it to him at all…” the girl said in her tiny voice as Zeras’ eyes gleamed, and he asked.

“Who removed its eye?” he asked. She had just confirmed to him the statue was supposed to have a third eye, but currently, it was hollow.

So who removed its eye then?

“The envoy of light,” she said to him in a quiet whisper as Zeras turned to her with a raised eyebrow, wondering why the sudden hushness, and almost like she could guess his mind, she pointed to the distance where particular figures were standing, currently also looking at Zeras and the girl with their light bulb-like eyes.

Thier gaze on Zeras were incredibly intense and the same could be said for their gaze on the girl who was quick to hold Zera’s hand and drag him away from where they were.
