Chaos Devourer System

Chapter 710: Arriving

Chapter 710: Arriving

With the night setting in already, eyelids shut as Felicie slowly drifted into unconsciousness.

Due to the battle from earlier, Zeras’ body had also sustained quite a bit of damage.

Normally, any injury to him, no matter how grave, would be easily healed once he regenerates from it, and he cultivates after that. The stress of it all would immediately disappear.

But this time, Zeras felt his eyelids getting heavier even though he had healed all of his physical injuries.

Only now was he realizing the truth. The realm laws didn’t just seal off the mana of people in it. It also made them feel mortality again.

It had been decades since he had ever felt his eyebrows getting heavy, but now he could feel it.

He knew well it was sleep that was setting in. Something he had never needed for the past few years now.

It was no doubt an effect of the lack of accessibility to mana. Only now was he beginning to realize just how much his life depended on mana energy.

Only due to it could he feel complete, be capable of properly defending himself, and also feel safe. Without it, it would be a little harder than normal.

“Hopefully, Starlight energy doesn’t turn on me like those damned heavens, or I’ll be really screwed,” Zeras mused to himself before finally giving up the struggle.

He allowed himself to sink into his desire and quickly drifted into unconsciousness as silently as ever.

The entrance to the igloo ice house was wide open, letting in the illumination of the moonlight that was present in the sky.

And that also gave view to the inside of the cave where the figure of Zeras and Felicie could be seen, back to back, with Felicie huddled to herself, and Zeras peacefully lying on his back.

But as they both descended into deep slumber, it once more appeared.

Slowly, white puffy smoke slowly moved out of Zeras’ body and quickly swarmed towards Felicie, entering through her back.

The phenomenon continued for about three hours straight, but this time there were no visible changes to Felicie.

Her strange half-silvery white and orange hair remained the same, even as the three hours passed and the smoke exiting Zeras’ body disappeared.

But after around six hours, milky white runes all began appearing over Felicie’s body, and from them, astral blue lights were revealed, illuminating the snow beneath her in an astral blue color.

The runes, unlike those of anyone who had reached the galaxy rank stage, didn’t radiate mana, but just a gentle astral blue light that didn’t even have any assimilation to mana at all.

It was like a strange special force that was unique to none other than Felicie herself, but in less than thirty minutes of spreading all over her body, they disappeared once more, returning Felicie’s body to its bright white color.

Once more, the sun appeared over the horizon, casting its first sunlight just outside the cave ground.

Immediately the sunlight reached his face, Zeras snapped his eyes open.

The first thing he witnessed was the beauty of the rising sun, and dazedly, he stared for a while, watching the sun ascend higher and higher until he heard a loud yawn behind him, and his dazed gaze was finally thwarted.

“Hey, Zeras. Wake up!” Felicie called out as she sighted Zeras still asleep. Zeras sat up.

“Hmmm, you actually overslept. I have never seen you do that before. It’s like you never even sleep at all in the night…” Felicie said to him as Zeras rolled his eyes before rising to his feet.

An hour later…

Immediately, both continued on their journey.

After the endless forest area and the misleading mountain range, all they faced was an area of an endless snow cape.

After walking through the entire night, they arrived at the starting line of another endless green carpet land.

Three days of journeying quickly passed by as they crossed desert areas, thick lava-flowing areas with crumbled volcanic mountains, a small river, and foggy areas.

Dangers were now closer than teeth, with everything literally being able to end anyone and even grievously harm Zeras himself.

But with brawns and brains, he had been able to easily resolve all of the issues, keeping not only himself but even Felicie safe and in one piece until they could finally see it.

A golden illuminance that illuminated the entire sky could be clearly seen from far away.

“Is that, is that!?” Felicie struggled to ask.

“Yes. That should be the tower,” Zeras answered, exhaling loudly in relief.

But his expression couldn’t help but drop when he sighted Felicie running into the distance with all her speed, almost like a fish rushing to the sea after endless years on land.

And surprisingly enough, she was more than fast. Incredibly fast for an ordinary mortal.

‘Is she even a person?’ He couldn’t help but wonder, but not wasting a single second more, he also immediately began jogging forth, quickly catching up to her as both raced the snowy ground, making way for the other.

Five hours later…

And finally, they both skidded to a stop as they crossed through the thick pine trees, and finally in front of them was something that one of them had been looking for a week now while the other had dreamt of for an entire lifetime.

“The Tower, finally!” Felicie said with a smile as she noticed the extra gigantic object in front of her.

While it might have been called a tower, it would actually be better to be called a large golden-colored pyramid with strange runic lines and ancient symbols scattered over its surface, adding a layer of mysteriousness to its body.

The golden runes released golden light whose congregation created an illusion as if the pyramid was a star that let out different white lights.

At the front of the pyramid, where they were both directly facing, there was a golden flight of stairs that led to about the center of the pyramid itself.

At the end of it were two gigantic statues of two wizards.

One, a male that held a sword, and the other, a female that had strange grimoires floating around her in the air.

It was an art that could have no doubt been made by none other than an incredible and magical engineer.
