Chaos Devourer System
Chapter 182 Sneaky Bastard!!!

182  Sneaky Bastard!!!

BANG!!

The puppet's head immediately exploded as Zeras flashed a mocking smile at Andrea who looked as if he had just lost his soul.

"I don't dare? Who's gonna stop me? That puny puppet by your side which is obviously the weakest or your weak strength. It might really send the chill down the spine of anyone if they were ganged on by five puppets at the same stage as them but face the fact, Andrea. Your puppets have a great fatal flaw and that's that they act in completely the same way all the time.

Not only do you lose the people's genetic ability when you turn them into puppets, but you also lose their combat experience. They only know to jump up and slash. To a real fighter, your puppets are child plays no matter how plenty they are..." Zeras said but he already disappeared from where he stood and then,

SLASH

The last puppet was immediately sliced into two from top to bottom as its two sides fell on the opposite ground.

Now he was directly in front of Andrea who was looking at him as if he was a ghost.

'He really decimated them all, all my life...'

"Any last words?" Zeras asked emotionlessly as he looked at Andrea.

"Hahahahahah..." Andrea suddenly began laughing like a maniac as Zeras raised an eyebrow.

"Do you really think trash like you can take away my life..." Andrea asked mockingly as Zeras immediately slashed out his sword but was sent reeling backwards as his leg dug into the ground drilling deep gorges into it.

Looking back at Andrea, he could see he was in a strange blue barrier with hundreds of runic lines.

"Don't think you won, Zeras. You might have destroyed all my puppets but once you realize what this place truly is, then you'll understand you only helped me.

When next we meet will be the time you die..." Andrea said bringing out a card from his sleeve.

SLASH

A devastating blade light flashed through the world with speed clashing heavily on the barrier as it immediately ripped it apart and cleaved towards Andrea's neck with speed.

KABOOM

"Trash like you can only dream about killing me..." Zera's blade immediately cleaved out with speed towards Andrea's head wanting to sever it in a single blow but Andrea was still able to crush the card in his finger before the blade could touch.

RIP

The ground was cleanly sliced into two, digging a 2-meter deep abyss as airwaves blasted around the place causing dust to cover the place.

But everything soon cleared up and Andrea was nowhere to be found.

"Tch, sneaky bastard..." Zeras muttered, his eyes flashing in anger but he soon morphed his hands back to normal as he reverted to his normal size.

He wasn't truly after killing Andrea in the first place, he only wanted to test out his strength and he wasn't disappointed with the results.

Without using his Chaos Devourer gene at all, he could still take Middle Meteor rank stage experts head-on.

Zera's face suddenly changed as the mountain around him began shaking and a huge mountain rose from the far distance reaching so high it dwarfed other mountains around the place countless times.

"You have completed the beginning trial and managed to remain the only one at the Mountain Gate trail grounds. You're eligible to take the trail.

Go to the Mountain Gate to take the test..." The voice suddenly rang out as Zera's eyes narrowed, looking at the newly emerged mountain where the voice could be heard coming from.

"Eligible for the test? So only I or Andrea must remain in this place to take the trial and since Andrea teleported away, he must have been taken out of the place, automatically disqualifying him..." Zeras reasoned with furrowed eyebrows before his eyes widened in delight.

"What an incredible opportunity..." Zeras said as he immediately disappeared from where he stood blasting from one mountain to the other on all fours like a true beast his steel-like claws dug into the mountain side using it as leverage to finally arrive at the mountain.

At the top of the highest mountain. A golden-colored pagoda could be seen reaching 50 meters in height and up to three floors.

An ancient desolate air blew around the place surrounding it in an aura of mystery and also invoking reverence...

'A figure suddenly appeared in front of this pagoda like a mirage as he stood upright looking at the pagoda.

Zera's heart beat loudly in his chest for unknown reasons as he looked at the desolate pagoda in front of him.

A red bridge could be seen extending towards the pagoda's golden door while facing the bridge on both sides were hundreds of different races who bowed their head while standing at opposite sides of the bridge.

"What a strange setting..."Zeras muttered as he noticed it was like all the statues were worshipping whoever it was that walked on the bridge.

It was supposed to show some sign of respect or something but it didn't make sense to Zeras for the statue to bow to a trial tester who had not even passed the trail yet.

As if in reply to his thoughts, the voice immediately echoed out:

"Welcome to Mountain Gate. Complete the test and rise to the heavens in a single step to fail the test and be one of the statues, forever in worship and reverence to the pagoda..." The voice rang out as Zeras felt a chill down his spine, giving a second look at the statues.

"So this was past trial takers," Zeras asked in shock.

His brain walked full speed as he seriously thought of it. With so many statues, it already signified just how difficult the test truly is and the thought of him becoming one of the statues made his heart grow cold.

"Do you accept or reject the trial?" The voice thundered out as Zeras looked at the statues and then the golden door of the pagoda before taking a deep breath in.

"I accept the challenge..." He said out loud in conviction.

"Congratulations. You're the tenth person to accept the challenge and avoid the sure faith of immediately turning into a statue at the first trial..." The voice said out loud as Zera's eyeballs almost popped out of his eyes.

The question was the first trial and a no would have meant becoming one of the statues. Just who was it that created such a system?

Firmly affirming himself, Zeras took the first step forward as he walked on the red bridge, with his head held high and his chest raised as hundreds of statues bowed their heads to him.

But why did he still choose to partake in the trial even though it was most likely a death sentence?

It was because of his goal. His path up to now has been on growing stronger to take his revenge and he could hear from the pagoda that he could rise in a single step once he completed the trail.

This might be the only opportunity in the world to quickly gain the strength to achieve his goal to quell the burning hatred in his heart so Zeras was willing to partake in the test even if the fate was becoming a stone forever or dying to the trial.

He'd prefer dying on the path to achieving his goals than regretting not having grabbed hold of the opportunity.

This was Zera's conviction. To achieve or die trying to!
