[-20HP]

[Total HP: 10/300]

“ARRRRRRRGH…” The sound of a muffled pained scream rang throughout the entire area as a figure was sent tumbling through the hard ground, tearing through it, before skidding to a stop, as he exerted strength in his feet jumping Into the air before landing on his feet.

“Ah, ah, ah..” Zeras breathed out raggedly as his eyes held unconcealed shock.

Looking at his shoulder, there were no arms on him, destroyed from the attack unleashed just a few seconds away.

Directing his attention away to look at the barbarian, he saw the young man, Theo, slowly putting down his raised hands as he looked at him, slight curiosity flashing in his eyes.

“You really have the life of a cockroach, don’t you?” He said, chuckling to himself.

Zera clenched his teeth even tighter on hearing that but soon heard the loud sound of something soaring through the air as he turned in the direction.

Three streaks of lightning could be seen streaking from the distance as it closed in with speed exploding into showers of lightning behind the duo in front of him revealing it to be three males who bowed their heads to the duo.

“Young master Theo, young master Mason…” The trio said at the same time with unconcealed reverence in their eyes

“Rise…” Theo said as the trio slowly stood up on his order before directing his attention towards him.

“The three of them are at the Middle Meteor rank stage…” Zeras muttered, thousands of thoughts flashing in his eyes, but the situation was incredibly hopeless.

Two at the Late Meteor rank stage and three at the Middle Meteor rank stage, his HP was only 10 left and a single attack from one of them would immediately kill him.

He didn’t have any other choice.

Immediately Zera’s eyes flashed decisively as he looked at the the five people in front of him.

“You can’t possibly be thinking of running away, are you?” Theo asked as if seeing through his attention and he brought a device. A device Zeras recognized to be a Teleportation card blocker.

“What about the fruit, you don’t want it again?” Mason said in his boisterous voice as he laughed out loud in mockery.

“Tch, I’ll come back for it and when I do I won’t be taking only it with me…” Zera’s eyes flashed in hatred before they regained their calm as he slowly turned back.

“And who allowed you to leave…” The voice of Theo rang out.

“What? Will you try to stop me?…” Zeras asked looking at the side of his shoulder.

“You can leave, but only with your life behind…” Mason said and in front of their shocked eyes, a new arm tore out of Zera’s shoulders.

“If I want to escape, not even a hundred of you guys can stop me…” Zera said calmly as he slowly raised his right hand, his middle finger intertwining with that of his index finger.

“Chaotic Existence Skills: Hollow Domain…”

Immediately the duo burst out from where they stood appearing instantly behind him as Mason clenched his fist and let loose a horrifying punch imbued with destructive lightning while Theo pointed at the back of his head, a powerful beam of lightning blasting out from his hands.

Still, the shadow spread faster covering them in a thick barrier as their attacks paused mid-air, not reaching Zeras at all, while they themselves suddenly lost their mobility.

Immediately two gigantic hands made of shadows appeared as they violently tugged at the space in front of Zeras revealing another place as Zeras unhurriedly stepped into it.

“I’ll remember this day well. And you all better go watch your neck clean as I’ll be coming to take it soon…” Zera’s voice rang out as his figure disappeared into the vortex and the duo felt the shadow disappear as they regained their mobility once again.

“Tch, he escaped…” Theo said dissatisfied as lightning seemed to spew out of his eyes.

“Don’t worry. A coward like him, no matter how strong, is nothing to worry about…” Mason said, not the least bit worried.

“Well, at least we got the lightning fruit. Should be able to increase our power level even more before the Celestial Titans Tower revealed itself…” Theo said looking at the fruit in his spatial ring.

“Great. Besides, it’ll be a miracle he survived those injuries anytime soon and even if he did, we can still take his life the next time we see him…” Mason said before the ground below him sank in and he disappeared from where he stood becoming a streak of lightning disappearing into the distance.

Theo gave one last look at the place where Zeras disappeared before also levitating into the air and following after the lightning streak, followed by three other lightning streaks.

WHEEEZE…

The sound of struggling breathing echoed through the walls of the dimly illuminated space and a figure could be seen, lying on the ground, inhumane wounds on his body as blood oozed out uncontrollably.

“ARRRGGHHHH…” Now he was beginning to feel all the pain from his injuries and they seemed to have been amplified more than a thousand times.

Willing it, the small glass bottle of yellow honey appeared in his hands as Zeras dipped his fingers into it before taking a lick.

SIZZLE

“Argh,” Zeras clenched his teeth tightly as the injuries on him released burning smoke he felt as if his body had become a living furnace.

[Host Health State is at a critical level]

[Regeneration has been activated..]

Slowly his wounds began slowly closing up and Khan slowly closed his eyes as he began breathing according to the Infinite Dark Mana Devourer Manual.

Immediately the Mana in a kilometer area diameter surged towards him with speed as he absorbed him into his mouth and skin and they were all immediately directed towards his Mana core, giving him slight energy, enough for him to reduce the pain from his injuries.

But then, completely beyond Zeras control, golden runes suddenly surfaced on his bones and spines absorbing a strange energy from the surrounding air as his entire body lit up in a golden light from underneath his skin and his blue scales resurfaced once again, this time twice as hard, and with dark chaotic runic lines in shape of black-holes appearing on them, sucking in an energy from the air.

Thinking of all his losses, Zeras clenched his teeth tightly in pain as the face of the duo flashed in his head.

“I’ll be coming for both of your heads soon…” Zeras muttered as his gaze slowly turned dark and he descended to slumber.

His first exchange with the Celestria family ended in his loss.
