Chaos Devourer System

Chapter 667: Mistake!! Please Do Not Unlock

Quickly, the scientist and his young lab intern Hael quickly got to work.

The smell of chemicals and the clanking of test tubes, with scrum mixing together, mixed with the event of rapid color change in chemicals, created quite the show of lights in the room. Quickly, nine hours passed, with the sun rapidly retreating, giving way to the silver moon in the sky. Soon, Professor Cygnus finished a phase of his experiment. His eyes moved to the window, where he saw the sky was already dark. He then turned to Hael, who had just finished rinsing off test tubes. "Well, let's call it a day here, boy. You have classes tomorrow, he said to him as Hael wiped off his hands with a handkerchief, giving a slight bow before heading towards the exit.

But he suddenly stopped at the door.

"Um, Professor Cygnus..."

"Uh-huh?"

"Can I be sure I won't be faced with another attack tonight too? I'm the only one in that area, you know, and I'm afraid...

"You'll be fine, kid. Now get going," Professor Cygnus said, waving him off, and Hael could only exit the lab, hoping the same thing wouldn't happen again.

The place where he lived was like a mini-estate, and he was the only one in it. That made it very desolate, which is why they could easily conduct an attack on him.

If he lived in the student dorm room, which had its own set of protectors, it would have been impossible to set a barrier around there due to its bustling activities, and an assassination would be simply impossible.

But still, he would have to go back to that desolate place, even after the lesson he had been taught yesterday.

Still, what choice did he have? It wasn't like he had a different place to stay, and he wouldn't spend his entire night waltzing around the institute or sleeping outside

. So he could only retreat back to his place, hoping that was the last assassination that would be sent towards him.

[How would Host like to distribute attribute points?]

With the event of what happened last night, Hael had his heart rising up to his throat, and he knew now the one thing he needed the most was strength and speed.

At least for now, when he knew well he could be assassinated at any time.

He would either need strength in such a situation or simply run away. The best thing to do was to rapidly increase his strength, and one of the ways to do that was using his attribute points.

"Huuuuu."

"Add 40 Attribute Points to strength, add 30 to Agility, add 1 to Charm, and add 4 to Perception; Hael

said.

He had chosen to add a point to his Charm to make it a full even number, and the rest could be added to his Perception, which was also one of the reasons he was able to discover the assassination

quickly.

Still, while Hael was expecting the system's immediate response, he felt absolutely nothing.

"Um, what's happening?" Hael couldn't help but turn to the system, worried that he could no longer put points in attribute points.

[It will be painful. Prepare yourself...] the system said, and in the next instant, Hael's two knees felt as weak as jelly. He suddenly collapsed to the ground headfirst, his body rapidly convulsing.

Green veins wriggled out of his skin, squirming underneath like tiny snakes. Sometimes, one would notice them lighting up with a golden light that flashed through them, causing the veins passed through to grow slightly bigger in size.

Hael didn't feel the expected pain. Instead, what followed was an intense numb feeling and his ability to sense his own body rapidly disappearing, as if forcefully hijacked from him.

Still, the feeling didn't last long, fading away after about half a minute. Once more, he could feel his

senses returning.

Placing his hands on the ground to push himself up,

CRAAAACK

CRAAAACK

The sound of the tile shattering rang out as Hael raised an eyebrow before he slowly turned his gaze to his hand and saw a cobweb on the ground it was placed on.

"What...what the hell?' Hael mused, but unbelieving, he moved his left arm to the ground and tried to push himself up only for the ground beneath his hands to instantly shatter apart as Hael forcefully

rose himself up.

He saw the mini-crater formed beneath his feet.

"Is this...strength?' Hael mused, looking at his own physical body, but even though he had always imagined one with great strength to be muscular and bulky, his hands were just as they ever were, even though they were now well-defined, and he could feel the strength in every fold of his hands. But what could have resulted in such a massive difference?

[It's due to you reaching exactly 200 points in stats. Those levels are areas where immediate strength

can be noticed.

Right now, your strength should be able to tear apart that Joan guy into two parts and match that of the Captain even if she uses all her strength. You use just as much energy as the one I recorded from her.] The system said as Hael's eyes flashed in shock.

"I really have grown that strong?" Hael mused. In just a few months, he had reached the cultivation level of Captain Aelia, who had been working hard since she was sixteen.

He had covered others' journeys of more than years i literal months!

"Soon. Soon, I'll have enough strength to leave this place and return to Aetheria..." Hael mused hopefully, his hands clenched hard.

[That's still a long way to go...] the system said to him, watering down his hope.

"Like how long? How many points would I need to be able to tear back a wormhole to Aetheira?"

Hael probed hopefully, more than willing to know at least how much he had to level up before he

could return.

"You'll know when you'll know, the system said before keeping quiet as IIael rolled his eyes. IIe half-heartedly expected that already.

"Part of your brain is still damaged. I'd be sleeping if I were you..." the system said to him as Hael walked into the bedroom, landing on the comfy bed, with the moonlight through the window lighting

up half of his face.

Slowly, he turned his gaze to it, and he didn't know, but it seemed the moon this night was the best

one he had ever seen.

He could almost see his father laughing at him from within, pride on his face, and the unyielding believing gaze of his clansmen who had all been robbed of what was rightfully theirs.

It was his source of hi motivation to keep going hard, as fast as he could. And he promised silently in his heart, he wouldn't disappoint them at all.

"Tell me, system, why do you refrain from telling me the reason why I shouldn't use my War Demon Stance... Hael whispered silently. The system had told him the last time not to use the War Demon

Stance.

But it never really explained to him the reason, just telling him not to again, without its approval. And secondly, the events of yesterday, and the hellish scene. According to Professor Cygnus, he was the one responsible, his War Demon Stance to be exact, as that was the only part Hael could remember using.

It just seemed as if a part of his memory had been removed once he called out the demon stance, and he had no idea after that, waking up to find the dead body all piled around him.

But still, the system bad refused to elaborate about the specifics, saying he would receive his answer

from Professor Cygnus.

It was strange to Hael, trying to ignore the topic about the War Demon stance, and seemingly very

unrevealing of its secrets to him...
