Chaos Devourer System

138 Smelling A Ploy

The New Cadets were shocked seeing the results of the battle and it seemed Zeras managed to defy their expectations once again.

The unconscious Aildris was soon taken out of the battle stage as Zeras moved away from the completely decimated battle stage into another one.

"Would you like to take a rest first..." The Handler responsible for the match suddenly asked Zeras as he looked at his bloody uniform.

His battle with Aildris left him covered in blood and cuts. It was more than clear to see he was pushed to his limits in the fight and they were worried if he needed some time to recover.

He just fought two battles after all.

"No need..." Zeras replied as he directed his gaze from the Handlers before looking at his next opponent. Jim BurlyRock.

The one said to be a Titan.

Zeras had seen his previous fight in the event but he also noticed he never morphed into his so-called Titan form in that fight, suppressing his opponent with brute strength.

"Next Zeras Celestria Vs Jim BurlyRock..." The Handler announced. The new Cadets held their breath.

Would this finally be the end of Zeras Celestria?

"I concede..." Jim suddenly said greatly shocking the crowd as the Handler even almost dropped the mike in his hands.

"What!!!" The crowd immediately erupted in murmur at the sudden declaration of surrender.

Zera's eyes also narrowed as he turned to look at Jim BurlyRock.

Standing at two meters in height with dark hair and slightly sunken eyes arranged on his oval-shaped face. He was the tallest individual In the entire New Cadets rivaling even the dragon Vornek in height.

Some of the slight murmurs contained even some booes from the New Cadets but Jim didn't change his decision as he turned to look at Zeras when suddenly a smirk broke out on his face.

'Whether I fight or not, I believe your fate is still the same Zeras. And that fate would be mine if I defeat you so why would I do such a stupid thing...' Jim thought to himself as he headed towards his seat.

"Winner by forfeit, Zeras Celestria..." The Handler immediately called out after regaining his wits.

Zera's eyebrows furrowed together as he noticed the smirk on Jim's face. With one look he could already tell, that smirk had no good intent.

His brain couldn't help but deeply think of the matter and soon his eyes widened as his neck snapped towards Zumba Mumba who was revolving the card in his hands.

"Next, Zeras Celestria Vs Zumba Mumba..."

Zumba slowly stood up as he looked at the position of the card in his hands, seeing it face towards the side where a clown could be seen wearing a smile.

"Guess I had nothing to worry about after all..." He muttered beneath his heart as he walked down towards the battle stage.

"3...2..1.Go!!"

"We meet once again Zeras Celestria..." Zumba said as he finally raised his head.

Zera's eyes narrowed as he finally got a full picture of Zumba's face. His face was dark in complexion and his eyes were covered completely in strange tattoos that extended up to his forehead.

His hair covered the top part of his face and we're pretty long for a boy.

Zeras looked into those eyes and the illusion of looking into the eyes of three people at the same time occurred to him.

"A certain someone told me I'll lose my first rank in this event and by him specifically. Now standing before me in the same battle stage, I wonder if you still think so?" Zera's said his mocking voice ringing out loudly throughout the entire arena.

A smirk appeared on Zumba's face as he removed his left hand from his pockets and on it was a pack of cards.

"It is true I might have underestimated you. But something is still true also, you'll still be losing..." Zumba said, the card in his left hand suddenly flying up semi-circularly and into his right hand, the motion repeating itself again and again.

"I don't suppose you think I'll be defeated by a simple pack of cards right?" Zera's eyes raised an eyebrow.

"Well, why don't we find out?" Zumba replied with a smirk as he suddenly flung all his cards upward into the air and mysteriously they hung on it surrounding him without falling.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP

The air was immediately ripped apart as Zeras closed in with speed towards Zumba who plucked a card and flung it towards his face.

Zeras inched his face away causing the card to pass just by his ears as he appeared in front of Mumba in the next second, his hands morphing into a blade brimming with white light before he cleaved towards him diagonally intent on ripping him apart in a single slash.

BOOOOOM

A deep slash mark appeared on the stage as Zeras slowly stood up but there was nothing in front of him. In some mysterious way, he couldn't understand, Zumba managed to avoid his slash.

"YOO-HOO" The playful voice rang out as Zeras turned behind him and there he was, Zumba, waving at him, his cards flicking up and down his hands.

"You know when I saw those cards in the air, I thought you were some telekinesis freak but seeing you teleport now makes me wonder just what your genetic ability is?" Zeras asked as he was a tad bit curious. He had just seen Zumba perform two different genetic abilities.

The air seemed to suddenly go still for a single second and soon Zeras appeared instantly in front of Zumba his blade already cleaving towards his neck but he saw Zumba looking at him as he said with a smile flinging the card in his hands into the distance.qq

"You're pretty fast..."

"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP"

A sound of the air being sliced into two once again rang out through the arena as an even deeper slash mark appeared on the battle stage but the result was the same as before, Zumba was nowhere to be found.

"Looking for me..." A voice echoed out to him from the side as he saw Zumba sitting down cross-legged with a mocking smile on his face as he threw the card in his hand upwards and downwards.

Zera's eyebrow furrowed in confusion looking at him as he disappeared from where he stood once again.

A strange occurrence was observed by the entire Cadets as they watched Zeras who seemed to have been teleporting due to his pure speed cleaving at Zumba who always avoided the attack at the last second and was even sleeping on the battle stage, whistling to himself.

Zeras slowly came to a stop as he looked behind him once again and saw Zumba playing with his card.

"Oh, you finally gave up?" Zumba asked curiously his mocking smile never for once leaving his face.

"Hahaha, you should be proud kid," Zeras said smiling genuinely as he turned to look at Zumba.

"Oh, why?"

"Because you're the first person to play on my intelligence for so long..." Zeras said smiling as he looked at Zumba with a smile, or to say, looking at a particular thing on Zumba.

"Tch took you long enough..."
