Chaos Devourer System

Chapter 759: Leaving The Realm

“I’m strong enough now for that…” Felicie said to him.

Now she was no longer just an ordinary weak mortal. She was the guardian of this realm, and everything here was within her power.

She could control the mountain range golem, which could even fight against Undying rank experts like Zeras and not lose.

If she took all her power back to the Upper realm, she would be a powerhouse of her own.

She wasn’t weak and could be by his side through his journeys.

But her idea…

“You can’t come with me…” Zeras replied almost instantaneously. Felicie’s expression dropped.

“Not because you’re weak. Even I have to admit, you possess enough power to be greatly feared, even in the upper realms.”

“But it is because my path is one that only I can walk alone.”

“None can help me…” Zeras replied truthfully.

While he believed in Felicie’s capability—and although he didn’t know what led to her change—he could sense that she now possessed great potential to become someone even he would have to fear in the future.

But the truth was, his battles were his and his alone to fight.

An army of Undying experts, messengers of King Val, would soon be coming for him.

When the battle came, it would all be for naught, as Zeras had seen a vision where he had even lost Fluffy and Princess Sycheleria, too.

That was why, when that calamity struck, he would be the only one standing and if someone were to fall, it would be him alone.

He wouldn’t risk the lives of innocent people around him for the battle, and that included Felicie’s.

“But there is something you can do for me while I’m not here…” Zeras suddenly said to her.

She lifted her teary face to him.

“What is that?”

“Wait. Wait for me to finish walking my path. When I’m done and have everything settled, then I will definitely come, and then I’ll be all yours.”

“I’ll stay by your side in your world and never leave you again. I promise.”

“So if you really want me, then wait for me.”

“Can you wait for me, Felicie?” Zeras asked, and Felicie firmly nodded with no doubt in her orange eyes.

“I will wait for your return, Zeras.” She called out loudly.

Suddenly, a vortex bloomed in the room. Zeras didn’t need to be told what it was, and neither did Felicie.

It was time for him to leave.

“Goodbye, Felicie…” Zeras called out as Felicie leaned toward him, giving him the hardest kiss she had ever given.

Reluctantly, she broke it and stepped back from him.

“Don’t forget your promise, Zeras. I will be waiting…”

Those words were the last thing Zeras heard as the vortex swallowed his figure, and his back completely disappeared through it.

Mere seconds after his departure, the door opened, and in came Jeffrey, Batherlomev, and Ferdinand.

When they entered the room, all they found was Felicie, and looking around, they realized the person they were expecting to see was no longer there.

“Where is he?” Jeffrey asked, as Felicie looked at the place where Zeras formerly stood.

“He’s gone… for now, but he’ll be coming back soon.”

“I swear it on my life…”

—

The space wormhole was like the inside of a washing machine, twisting and turning fiercely.

Within it was none other than Zeras, who was revolving around erratically.

His eyes were closed, and even though he was being thrown here and there, Zeras had never felt calmer within himself than now.

All he could hear were Felicie’s last words, repeatedly echoing within his head.

Subconsciously, his hand folded into his palm.

‘I will return, I promise…’ he determined with resolve, and soon enough, his clenched fist relaxed.

Now he had gotten back what he wanted, and his resolve to succeed had reached an even higher level.

The world stopped rotating, and Zeras felt the ground beneath his feet immediately harden.

In the next instant, without bothering to open his eyes, he slowly raised his hand upwards.

In the next moment, thousands of astral runes covered his entire hand as his cultivation base immediately returned after breaking through the bounds of the realm.

“DIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!”

A loud, malevolent roar boomed out as a gigantic sword, more than 100 meters long, slashed down toward Zeras, brimming with an incredible amount of intensely dark aura.

BAAAAAANNNNNNG!

An incredibly powerful explosion rocked the world as the sword fiercely clashed with Zeras’ raised hand.

It was a fierce collision of astral and dark power spread into the distance, sending successive rippling shockwaves.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!

Less than a split second after Zeras stopped the slashing sword from above, the sound of space being torn open by an incredibly sharp object rang out once more.

Immediately, his second hand clenched into a fist.

Another set of runes, this time red in color and flashing with lightning, quickly appeared on his entire wrist.

Zeras clenched his hand Into a fist then punched outward, opening his eyes as he did so.

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Anotherexplosion rocked the world as a dark scythe, brimming with the same malevolent power, sneaked out of the broken void, slashing straight for Zeras.

His fist blasted out a second later, colliding fiercely with the scythe.

Immediately, the explosion sent the scythe flying away, while the figure responsible for the slash was also sent flying back.

At the same time, Zeras faced a backlash that caused him to be sent flying into the distance.

His hand left the sword he was holding above, causing it to slash deeply into the ground.

An abyssal crater, a thousand meters deep, tore through the earth, cleaving apart a majority of graveyards in the area and throwing out the bones of the dead buried beneath the ground.

He turned in the air, slamming his leg onto the ground, but the kinetic energy remained resulting in him carving a massive groove on the ground.

Eventually, he came to a stop exactly 100 meters away from the group.

“An ambush? Good thing I raised my guard, just in case…”
