Chapter 518: An Undying World 2
Chapter 518: An Undying World 2
The entire world quickly became a shade of pitch darkness immediately as Zeras dipped his head into the vertical vortex, and just like others, he also rapidly disappeared into the vortex, the sense of vision and hearing fading away from him, as he lasted for an unknown amount of time before once again opening his eyes.
The chirping of birds, the rustling of leaves, the distant sound of rushing water, and the scuttling of thousands of feet on the bark of an old tree—that was all that Zeras’s senses could immediately pick up the moment he stepped into the portal.
He was in the middle of a forest, surrounded by such, and the first thing he did was walk towards one of the trees and touch it with his hands.
He could see it was real and firm, and then he walked towards one of the ants running on the tree and also squished one of them, and blood flowed out of the small wound he created as Zeras had a flash of intrigue flashing in his eyes.
“It really looked solid, don’t you think so, Fluffy?” Zeras asked the small kitten on his shoulder, who gave repeated nods before suddenly jerking its head to the side, and then focusing its attention back to its paw and continuing to lick it.

And from where Fluffy was formerly looking, the sound of footsteps could be heard as an alien figure walked out of the forest. But as if Zeras was dead, he still remained crouched to the tree, observing the creatures.“Who would have guessed there would be someone whose first thought on arriving in this hellish world is checking how real the trees and plants are?” The figure’s voice rang in his head as Zeras rose up from the ground and turned his attention to him.
The figure was a male humanoid alien, enveloped in red scales, and stood at a height of 1.9 meters, just a head lower than Zeras. His face was as handsome as Zeras, not finding him disgusting.
Behind him, Zeras could see the big red bow hung on his back, showing his status of being an archer, and he just sighed.
“Go away…”
The voice, which sounded like a human chasing off a buzzing fly, rang out as Olir stood rooted to where he was in shock, looking at the duo.
He could see the cat had noticed its presence but had ignored him, and now the owner was telling him to buzz off. This nameless and weak-looking alien was telling him, a genius of one of the top 100 first-grade clans, to buzz off!!!
“HAHAHAHAHA…” The sound of intense laughter could be heard as the male laughed and Zeras turned behind him with a raised eyebrow, wondering the reason for the intense laughter.
“Sorry. I’m really sorry…” The alien said, holding his stomach tightly.
“It’s just that it’s been a long time since I have seen such a prideful person, or better say such a prideful duo.
Your pet saw me and continued licking its paws, and you also saw me and told me to buzz off. It’s like you don’t even consider me as an opponent at all. I wonder why is that…” The alien said, and with a fluid motion, an arrow, radiating an extremely powerful red light at its tip, was now pointing towards Zeras’s forehead.
“Ahhh,” Zeras sighed before turning his attention back to the ants on the trees.
“Firstly, Fluffy is not a pet, he is a companion…” Zeras corrected as Eric raised an eyebrow at him.
“Secondly, back in my world, I learned that Archers shoot from far away. They are not close combatants. And you’re standing just 20 meters away from me. I can cover that distance with a single step.” Zeras said with a listless expression.
“Underestimating you? Not at all. I simply think that it would be too unfair, you know, I hold too much advantage. Perhaps if you were standing 5000 meters away, I would have accepted your challenge.
And as for my companion, he also understood that fact, and therefore also ignored you because of that.” Zeras said with an unbothered expression as he rose up from the ground after confirming what he wanted.
“It seems this is truly a domain. But it is very different from that of Roaryie. It is like an entire world in itself!” Zeras thought in his head and with that, he headed deeper into the forest, and soon disappeared under the shocked eyes of Eric, who simply knocked his bow and didn’t shoot until the young man moved away from his range.
“What, what just happened!?” Eric asked himself in shock as he looked at his own shaky hands. Even though his prey was standing right in front of him, with not a single sign of defense set-up, he couldn’t shoot the bow. L
ike his body just refused to listen to him to release the arrow.
“This…this is the first time I have ever felt this before…” Eric thought in his head, and after two minutes, he withdrew his bow and turned back towards where he came from, before also walking off.
Unknown to the poor guy, that was what stopped him from being the first person to get eliminated from the tournament!
After wandering aimlessly for some time, Zeras suddenly stopped in his position before an intrigued look appeared in his eyes.
“You have been following me for quite some time. Is there something I can help you with?” He asked, but the entire forest remained ominously silent for the next minute before finally, a figure materialized out of thin air.
A figure cloaked in a dark robe oozing with extremely thick dark gases.
“There really is something you can do for me…” The sound, as if iron were scraping against each other, rang out from within the dark cloak as Zeras raised an eyebrow.
“Oh? What can I do for you then?”
“Let me devour your heart before you can get teleported away…”
“MEOW!!?”
