Chaos Devourer System

Chapter 586: A Unforeseen Mishap 1

“Perfect. Now remains just me to find what I really want,” Zeras mused to himself as he immediately began his search, looking around at every shelf.

There were many shelves indicating the various cultivation manuals that students could choose from.

Flames Cultivation manuals, Water cultivation manuals, Death cultivation manuals, Life cultivation manuals, Destruction cultivation manuals, Blood cultivation manuals. The list was basically unending.

Yet, time passed really fast and Zeras failed to find a single Astral Cultivation manual.

“You have 10 minutes left,” the voice rang out as Zeras quickened his steps, looking around the shelves, but there were more than hundreds of them, and some were higher up so much his eyes couldn’t even pick up the label, because he was simply too small.

“Hey Fluffy, go up and try searching for Astral Cultivation manuals,” Zeras said as the cat delivered a meow sound before quickly jumping off and climbing up the shelves.

Zeras also rapidly moved to the end of the hall.

Perhaps, because Astral Manipulators were rare, it wasn’t on the beginning shelves, and just as Zeras had guessed, he immediately found a shelf in an astral blue color.

“Astral Manipulation Manuals…”

“Nice.”

“You have five minutes left,” the voice rang out once more, as Zeras quickly began looking around the room to try and find a suitable technique. After going through 20 of them, Zeras found a good one.

[Nine Star Hegemon Sutra]

[Description: This technique allows the User to Form Nine Stars in one’s body, which are roulettes that allow great amounts of Astral energy. Once the full nine stars are formed, all stars present will automatically send all of their astral power to the user, causing them to gain absolute control of the surrounding stars around them.]

[Grade: Higher Epic]

“Nice,” Zeras mused to himself but suddenly his face rapidly contorted as an ear-piercing scream rang out in the hall, drawing the attention of everyone present.

“MEEEEEEEEOOOWWW.”

It was a sound that Zeras had never heard before, but the tone was more than familiar. The next instant, he shot forward with speed towards where the voice was coming from. Soon, he found the place and saw a smoking creature on the ground, trying to scurry away, only to have its tail stepped on by an extra tall figure.

“MEEEOOOOOW!!!” Another scream of pain rang out as Zeras’ eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

In the next instant, he shot forward with horrifying speed, appearing before the young man, and then…

BIOOOOOOOOM.

Shockwaves rippled forth as three circular marks appeared midair, a result of his fist tearing through sound barriers repeatedly, smashing with furious speed towards the young man.

The young man sneered before suddenly moving back, freeing Fluffy’s tail, and then easily shifted his head to the side, dodging Zeras’ punch with a mocking smirk before…

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.

An even bigger shockwave reverberated through the hall, as a figure was sent smashing backward with horrifying speed, slamming hard on the three bookshelves in his path before eventually slamming into the silver wall, blood bursting out of his mouth a second later, as his head dropped to the ground.

“MEOOW!!!” The cat’s scream could be heard, as Zeras felt the now furless Fluffy around his arms, blood covering every part of his face, blocking one of his visions, and his chest was currently exposed with a large steaming red palm mark burning on it, the mark of the attack that he had been given.

STEP.

STEP.

STEP.

The footsteps rang out closer and closer, as Zeras forcefully tore himself out of the wall, amidst all of his aching bones, as he rose to his feet and stared up at the figure of the long red-haired young man who looked down at him with listless eyes, a stare that was like someone looking at something lesser than an ant.

“Firstly, I find the color of your cat’s fur irritating to look at and very unnatural, so I helped you remove the color, giving it a singular color, but it fired a light beam at me instead, ruffling my clothes…” The young man said, as Zeras’ teeth, which ground against each other, suddenly stopped. He looked at Fluffy, which now had all of its hair burned away, revealing its naked body.

“Secondly, you attacked me, with a clear aim of injuring me. How do you wish to repay for your crimes?” he asked, followed by whispers ringing out in the hall.

“Isn’t that Vega Vox?”

“The son of Grand Elder Flaming Hell.”

“Guess the poor outer sect gets unfairly screwed for life.”

“His bad luck is really just that bad to have run across him.”

“Poor boy and his poor cat…”

“He should have known his place and simply stayed at the Bronze hall. He deserves it…”

“I am waiting for your answer, kid,” Vega said impatiently as Zeras rubbed the soot away from Fluffy’s body before turning to look at Vega, amidst the dead silence of the room.

“You want to know how I pay for my crimes after you helped give my companion a singular color by setting him on fire alive?” Zeras asked as Vega kept his blank expression.

“Then listen well to this…

“I will start by tearing each of your organs off, starting from the hands that burned my cat, and then to your legs that stepped on its tail, and then burn you inside and out before then crippling your cultivation.

Then when I am done with that, I will make sure you have at least one of your eyes working, and I will gather the heads of anyone whose surname is Vox, and pile them in front of you.

And you will watch as they all burn to cinders, and also slowly die with them, knowing well you’re the one who caused their death, because of a stupid sense of superiority that runs through that god-forsaken bloodline of yours.

That is how I will repay you for burning my companion alive. And I swear it by the only thing I want most in this world!”
