Chapter 655: A Request.
“It’s not the best. Far from being one,” the chained Zeras said, looking at Zeras who just finished summarizing his entire laugh about himself to him.
“Still, I’ll say it’s far better than yours,” Zeras replied, looking at the figure that was currently chained up.
For how long has he even been chained for? How had he handled the loneliness that comes with being chained all alone at the bottom of the ocean? Was that what he could manage to do on his own? Zeras thought to himself, and the young man only gave his usual grin.
“I’ve had better days…” he replied, when suddenly he turned his gaze upwards, a slightly displeased expression evident on his face. And Zeras knew the reason for that.
“A short meeting it is, just as it’s always been,” he said, as the young man smiled. The first smile he’s had in years now.
“Can I ask you to do a thing for me?” he suddenly asked as Zeras raised an eyebrow.
“And what is that?”
“I need something from you. Something only you can do,” he began.
“And what is that?”“A purple earring,” he said as Zeras raised an eyebrow.
“Come closer and cut a strand of my hair,” he suddenly said. Zeras walked towards him, pinching off a strand that was stretched towards him.
“Once you take that to the outside world, you will feel the location of the earring. I’ll bring you back in six months from now. And don’t worry too much about the ancient warriors of King Val.
Just try to keep up with your cultivation speed. Once you possess the earring, I might be able to help you out,” he said, and in the next instant, the space around Zeras slowly rippled and he disappeared into thin air, but this time, with a strand of hair in his grasp.
A few minutes after Zeras left, a colossal figure wearing a crimson-colored battle robe and carrying a large spear in his hands walked past the chained Zeras who had once more descended into slumber.
His eyes scanned around him, and after noticing no abnormality, he continued on his way once more.
On his disappearance, the chained Zeras slowly raised his head, the black holes in his eyes speeding up for a few seconds, as an abyssal grin appeared on his face.
“Soon, and you Colossals won’t even know what hit you! Then, it will be the turn of the Universe Order Gods!”
The sunlight peeked through the gaps between the large tree branches, a myriad of rays splashing over half his face, and slowly, his eyelids fluttered, followed by his astral blue eyes opening up, welcoming the pure golden lights.
Immediately he jerked up to his seat, his eyes snapping to his grasp, and right in his right hand was the pure white strand of hair.
“So, he is truly real,” Zeras mused to himself, seeing the white strand of hair. While he had gone through the vision for the second time now, he couldn’t really confirm the existence of the figure.
Who knows if it was just strange dreams? But now that he could see the strand of white hair in his palm just like how he had given him, he no longer had any doubt that the vision was true.
“He is a strange one…” Zeras mused to himself, seeing the white strand of hair. Slowly, he tied it around his wrist.
From it, he could sense some type of calling from a distant place, but for now, he needs to get his thoughts together and plan his next move.
“Hmmm, where’s Fluffy?” Zeras couldn’t help but ask, as he looked around the branch, finding Fluffy to be nowhere.
Looking around the trees in the area, the mischievous cat still couldn’t be found, and Zeras had no choice but to jump down the tree and begin his search.
After walking for a few minutes, he found the cat’s footprints and walking for more distance, he began finding other strange footprints. It was almost like Fluffy’s footprints except around five times bigger, rivaling that of a human footprint’s size, and instead of four footprints like Fluffy, which denoted walking on all fours, that one was in two, which shows whatever creature it was, probably walks on two legs.
Immediately, the air behind Zeras exploded as he burst forward with horrific speed, rapidly chasing after the footsteps.
He had learned of what Rowa said about the place, being that strange groups called Aboriginals dominated the area.
But he had no idea of who or what they really were, if they were welcoming of invaders or not. Still, he was sure he could protect Fluffy from whatever harm.
But who would have thought he would have descended into slumber, until he never even knew when Fluffy disappeared from his side.
Running through the woods, he could see smoke in the distance, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Rapidly running towards the smoke area, he came across a village settlement.
A settlement with about fifty bamboo houses, but he could sense that there was no one in the houses, and even more, he could see various large footprints present around the place.
“A clan of aboriginals,” Zeras thought to himself, using the footprints and houses as proof. Finally, he could hear the strange sounds. A strange sound that resembled not a human, but a… cat?
Immediately, Zeras closed in on the clan’s center. He was finally able to see them, a total of four beings holding roughly crafted spears of bamboo.
They were humanoid and tall, around 2 meters in height, and strangely, their skins were covered in strange furs of a total of two colors, just like that of a cat.
Their legs were also like that of cats, bent and also covered with furs, but their hands were humanoid, although possessing the lankiness and sharpness of claws.
Soon, Zeras arrived closer to them and immediately they sighted him.
