Chaos Devourer System

Chapter 711: Next Set Of Plans

Behind the statue was the gate that towered about 100 meters in pure height alone, invoking a grappling hook on anyone, and the entire setting struck the image of reverence.

It was as if one was about to enter the house of a god. But currently, the door had been shut tightly and the runes on it were dim. It was a sign that it was not available yet.

THUMP

THUMP

The sound of two knees dropping to the ground resounded as Felicie collapsed to her knees, tears dripping down her eyes.

Whether it was from joy or sadness, only her heart could tell, but finally, she felt the joy that comes with having seen one of her greatest wishes.

To see the tower with her own eyes, and it should be closer to her hands than ever.

And today, she finally did what had been preached to her as impossible.

“I can’t believe it. All my life and finally here it is…” She stifled out but felt a warming palm over her shoulders as she quickly wiped off her tears, her face turning red from the embarrassment of being unable to reign in her emotions.

“I’m fine,” Felicie said.

“I know,” Hael replied as he helped her to her feet before turning to look in front where some otherworlders could already be seen all quietly sitting cross-legged, waiting.

“It seems there are some that beat us to it, but the rush is all for naught as the door has yet to be opened…” Hael mused to himself as he looked at the shut gate and he could guess that was what the rest were also waiting for.

Right now, the sun had gone down a lot, and the moon was starting to appear in the sky.

“We should probably find a place to spend the night, then also wait for the tower doors to be opened.

I have a feeling it wouldn’t be until every otherworlder arrives and that will no doubt take a lot of time…” Hael said to her, which Felicie quickly obliged to.

She was more than uncomfortable sleeping in such a wide open space with various otherworlders all sitting around her.

She could already see quite a few gazes settling on her body. But that was understandable as there was no other aboriginal within the place.

All of them were otherworlders. So to find an aboriginal here, one that was female, was no doubt something surprising, but also invoked quite the strangeness in the otherworlders.

Their thoughts on Felicie were easily divided into three groups. Those that find it amusing that an aboriginal could survive the journey and arrive here.

Another that simply doesn’t care and can’t be bothered. And another group who felt it disrespectful for an aboriginal to be here.

The aboriginals might really own this realm, but for endless years, no aboriginals have ever laid their eyes on the tower. It was like a sanctuary for only the otherworlders alone.

But now seeing an aboriginal here was greatly offsetting and seemed very wrong.

But Hael could already predict that and less than seconds later, he and Felicie retreated away from the group and far away among the pine trees where they found a habitable place among some neatly carved rocks, probably something used by previous otherworlders around the place.

Setting up a fire with the sticks found in some of the caves, a mini-flame was quickly made, causing a little bit of warmth to surround the area, and banishing away the deathly cold that afflicted Felicie’s body.

“You know it won’t suddenly run away no matter how much you stare at it,” Hael called out with a chuckle as Felicie finally took her gaze off the Tower before smiling back at his amusing grin.

“I just still can’t believe it,” she whispered, bringing out some marshmallows which she dipped into a stick before slowly warming it up with the flames that were set up.

Passing to Hael too, he also accepted warming it on the flames since he had nothing to do currently.

Silence reigned for a while, the only sound being the crackling flames, and soon the marshmallows were more than ready. Hael passed everything back to Felicie despite her refusal, but it fell on deaf ears.

Foods were just too strange for him, that he found them not at all pleasing to the eye and more of a waste of his energy. They just weren’t appealing anymore.

That left a lot of food to Felicie to battle all alone.

In less than three hours, the marshmallows were gone and the night was also getting to its darkest hour.

“So, um, this is it?” Felicie asked nervously, her fingers clinking off each other in nervousness.

“Yes. The contract has been completed. You led me to the entrance of the tower, and in exchange, I offer you my protection and now we both are good.

I am right before the tower and you have not even a single bit of damage to yourself. Not even a hair damage. That makes our contract complete.

You’re now free from the devil…” Hael joked causing Felicie to laugh out loud, but he could still sense her laugh was still not as solid as it usually was, and she was still a bit nervous.

“So tell me, what do you do from here onwards?” Hael asked as Felicie sighed before turning her head to the tower, a certain familiar gaze in her eyes.

“That’ll be impossible….” Hael immediately replied as she turned her gaze away and stared at him, sighing once more dejectedly.

“I know…but I have to try.” Felice answered with the same stubborn expression she had done from the beginning of it.

The one even her uncle couldn’t have stopped her from and the one Zeras knew no attempt of his could have changed her mind.

She was a naturally stubborn person that even the threat of death could stop.
