Chaos Devourer System

Chapter 702: More To Learn…

Felicie yelled out to him, trying to sound as tough as possible, but all she got was an evil chuckle from Zeras.

“You know I can see your red face even if I’m not looking directly at you, right?” Zeras pestered on as Felicie raised her head in disbelief.

She never thought Otherworlders had such an ability, and realizing Zeras had caught her made her face reach another level of redness.

“You! Just shut up and keep going! I have never been this high up before, that’s why my face is red. It’s a sign of imminent throw-up, and guess where I’ll be throwing it once I can’t stop it any longer?” Felicie said, grinning evilly at Zeras, whose face dropped massively.

“You! You don’t dare!” he yelled at her, resulting in a loud evil chuckle from her rosy red lips.

“Hehehehe. So you can feel fear too?” she asked mockingly as Zeras snorted, and then an evil idea entered his head as he soared towards a rock, stamping his leg on it and soaring forward with twice his speed before suddenly he revolved around in the air around twenty times in a few seconds before soaring straight forward.

“What the! What are you doing!” Felicie screamed as she struggled all she could to reign down her upsetting stomach and her clouded gaze that rotated uncontrollably.

“What is that!?” Zeras asked innocently, resulting in a scoff from Felicie.

“Do that next time, and I’ll throw up on your neck!” she screamed out loud, her heart wanting to burst out from the fear of what just happened a few seconds ago.

She had never felt so disturbed in her life. Not only was she about 200 meters in the air and her chance of survival if she fell was basically zero, she just had to go have her entire body revolved twenty times in the air, making the world keep spinning uncontrollably. Those were fates worse than death for her.

“I hope you still know where we’re going, right?” Zeras asked.

“I can’t even see anything well. But we must go past this mountain first. Then we find our bearing once more…” Felicie called out from behind, resulting in a nod from Zeras. Quickly, Zeras kept soaring through the air at his fastest speed.

He had sighted many dangerous creatures on the ground but had been able to skillfully avoid all of them by soaring higher and higher into the air and quickly moving past them before they even caught sight of him.

There were even places on the ground that had an uncontrollable chasm between them and would have been impossible for them to cross if he had been walking with Felicie.

No ordinary mortal would be able to pass through that chasm, revealing to him that truly the ordinary mortals in this realm are really prevented from going to the tower in one way or the other even though they were the owners of this realm in the first place.

Coming here, Zeras had realized some strange things about the realm.

Firstly, the aboriginals here were somehow stronger than the ordinary people, like Felicie’s uncle Baltimore, who had a record of having fought with an Otherworlder and surviving.

And truly, Zeras could sense the old uncle’s physical strength was really stronger than normal, the same for his friend Fernards. Their physical strength, even though they were mortals, could easily rival that of an Early Cosmic rank awakener.

How they had such physical power as ordinary mortals who have never absorbed even the slightest bit of mana was something that deeply puzzled Zeras. And also, the aboriginals weren’t as weak as they appear.

An example was that old lady in the restaurant that he and Felicie had gone to. Zeras had stopped himself from opening the door because he could sense a strange power lingering off the knob of the door. A strange power that made his spine tingle, and yet he could sense it would have no effect against the aboriginals themselves. That was why he had stylishly asked for Felicie to open the door instead and had refrained from touching the knob. It was like a special trap that would only work for the Otherworlders or to say, for those with Mana. That piqued his curiosity.

Just what was that power that was being used mysteriously by them? Was it the same power he had read in the Grimoire.

There was a strange sort of power in this realm, one that made the aboriginals stronger than normal, one that that old woman in the inn almost used against him, and one that Elyrtion had used to control the forest animals to attack him. ‘An energy that wasn’t mana and can’t be sensed? Just what type of energy is that?’ Zeras wondered to himself as he flew through the air rapidly.

‘All my answers. I’ll find everything in the tower. I need to get to the tower…’ Zeras mused to himself, his conviction to reach the tower growing even higher.

He had thought he was sufficiently strong enough and was close to knowing all of his answers. But it seems there was still too much he didn’t know about this world. Still many mysteries to reveal, and he would make sure to get to the bottom of it all…

“Uh, Zeras?” The voice of Felicie suddenly rang out as Zeras turned his gaze to her.

“What is it?”

“We’ve been soaring for almost 8 hours now. Can we take a break?” she struggled to say. Zeras’s eyebrows creased slightly, but as she ordered, he slammed onto a mountain, his hands tearing through it and slowing down his descent gently.

THUMP

He landed stably onto the ground as Felicie unwrapped herself from him after feeling the ground was stable before she quickly ran to a cliff side and then…

BLEEEEERRGGGGH

She vomited everything in her continuously as Zeras simply stood there with a dropping gaze.

“Just how weak are mortals seriously?”
