Chapter 654: [Bonus Chapter] Meeting With Him Once More 2

Suddenly, a pair of astral blue eyes snapped open as Zeras looked around him and his face changed when he discovered where he was.

“The… the bottom of the ocean. Could it be!?” Zeras asked himself in shock and immediately, his figure blasted through the water as he swam deeper and deeper into the ocean.

He remembered the last time he had come here, the ocean was just the same, it was the place where he had met the being who claimed to be himself.

He wanted to know more about him, and like a mad beast sprinting for its kill, Zeras roughly slammed through the water, his heart pounding harder and harder when he saw the gigantic chains which he had seen the last time to be responsible for binding that figure.

“It’s true. It’s really him…” Zeras mused to himself as he sighted the young man once more. His demeanor and self were just like the last time, not visibly having aged or changed at all.

His hair was the whitest of snow that he had ever seen, and his lips were redder than blood.

Even Zeras himself would have to throw up his arms and bow when it came to the young man’s handsomeness, and quickly he swam towards him, coming to stand just around a meter away.

RIPPPLEE….

A slight ripple took place through the water as the young man slowly opened his eyes, revealing those pairs of abyssal dark holes that replaced his eyes. Turning to look at Zeras, his gaze scanned around him, before his lips curled into a grin.

“How interesting. You’ve grown slightly stronger…” he said, the first thing he noticed about him.

“Are you the one that brought me here, or does this just happen at random or the more strength I grow?” Zeras asked.

He knew well, like last time, the meeting might not last, but if he could find a way to come here himself, then he would be able to do so continuously.

“I brought you here myself…” he replied to him.

“And why did you do that?” Zeras asked as the figure looked at him with an even wider smirk, before turning to look at the chains surrounding his entire body.

“What do you think?” he asked, turning to look back at him, and Zeras turned to look at those chains binding him and he understood immediately.

For a person to be bound underneath the sea, for close to an uncountable number of years. Then loneliness must really be a thing. It was amazing how he had even kept his senses after remaining chained up for so long…

“And how long do we have?” Zeras asked, looking around the place.

“10 minutes, before the next patrol…” he replied calmly, unlike Zeras who had his heart spiraling in fear of getting caught.

“10 minutes,” that was barely enough time for him to ask about all the things he needed or wanted to know. And suddenly silence reigned over the place for up to 50 seconds.

“You want answers but you don’t even know where to start your questions from?” he suddenly said, almost as if he could read his mind.

“Yes. I really… really have millions of questions for you.” Zeras couldn’t help but say. “But first, can you tell me who you really are…” he asked the most important question.

“I am you…” he said, giving the same answer as the last time.

“I don’t understand. How can you be me?” Zeras asked, confused, and he only grinned in reply.

“None of what you seek will you understand. But all of them you will know sooner or later…” he said mysteriously, but Zeras didn’t give up.

“Firstly, how can I unbound these chains…” Zeras asked, stretching his hands towards the chains, but stopped at the last second when he saw the young man grinning evilly at him, his eyes looking exactly at Zeras’s finger which was merely inches away from the chains.

“What?”

“My hypothesis is that you will instantly die if you touch those chains…”

“WHAT!?” Immediately Zeras jerked backward, taking his hands away as fast as he could and retreating away from the chains.

“You! You could have told me that earlier!!” he yelled out.

He couldn’t believe the young man just watched him almost get zapped to death, with a grin on his face. If he had just been a tad bit unobservant, he would have been killed!

“It’s only a hypothesis. I wanted to confirm…” he said in between devilish laughter.

“Confirm with my death?” Zeras asked angrily.

“Well, it’s the only way…” he said as Zeras snorted.

“Don’t bother about me. Though you’re the only one who can save me, you aren’t at that level yet. And not close too…”

“Hmph, you wouldn’t watch me almost die when I am your only last hope…” Zeras huffed in disbelief.

“Well, a little play wouldn’t hurt…” he said, shrugging helplessly, something that should be intensely difficult with the chains around him, yet he did it as normal as ever.

“So wait, if I can get killed by simply touching these chains. Does it mean you’re specially immune to them or?” Zeras couldn’t help but ask, seeing the gigantic chains that were wrapped over the man so much that only his face and head were left out.

If the chains could zap him to death, then what was to say of him, who was thoroughly wrapped in it. Just what level of pain would he be going through?

A level of pain that would be enough to kill him upon a touch!? But the young man didn’t seem to be in any pain whatsoever, so the only explanation could only be that he was in one way or another immune.

“It would make sense to say I’m immune. This level of pain isn’t even worth considering…”

“That’s insane…”

“Anyway, tell me about your life. How’s your journey been…” he asked him, his black hole-like eyes shining with curiosity…
