Chapter 531: I Might Just Like You, Zeras…
Suddenly, a ball materialized out of thin air and roughly crashed into the ground, rolling for a few times before slowly coming to a stop.
One could see its surface made of strange hard metal covering as it stood rigid on the green grass present on the floor before suddenly deforming as it separated and opened up its inner surface, revealing two figures: a pretty white-haired lady with extremely long white hair, and a fluffy multi-colored cat.
“Zeras!?” Princess Scyhelleria called out in shock, looking at the figure which was currently sleeping on the side.
What was before her wasn’t some human, but a strange metallic figure whose entire body was fully metal, and only the strange head present was human, holding the face of Zeras.
In the next instant, the eyes, which were tightly closed shut, opened, revealing an abyssal dark hole, and in the next second, his metallic body rapidly disappeared, and his arms and legs were once again revealed, and the figure was truly none other than Zeras.
In the next second, he shot up to his feet, looking around the place in shock.
“I was knocked unconscious?” Zeras asked in shock. He could remember the last thing being that he entered into the portal and then everything went blank.
“No, you didn’t. You were forcefully knocked unconscious by one of your abilities.
It only activates when the user itself is unconscious. It’s what made sure you didn’t break all your bones in your body and came out unscathed,” the system replied, referencing the strange metallic goo that covered up Zera’s entire body in the last second.“Huuuu, that was close….” He exhaled as he looked into the distance where they were running from, and strangely all the plants and the ground had no cracks at all.
“It must have only worked on outsiders present in the realm…” Zeras decided as he turned behind him and saw Fluffy soundly sleeping on the ground, not every one of its fur was hurt.
“If you had not been this strong, good chance you would have lost your only companion…once more,” the system replied as Zeras’ left eye turned bloodshot, and a line of blood slowly floated down.
“I just came close to losing Fluffy…” He whispered to himself but was quickly brought out of it when Princess Scyhelleria called out once more.
And once again, he regained himself as he looked at her. ”
Your eyes, they’re….bleeding,” she said as Zera raised his hands to his left eye, and wiped away the blood from it.
“Just a slight injury, if it can even be called that,” Zeras replied as he walked towards Fluffy and picked him up into his arms.
“The third pressure has gone. We have passed the first trial,” Princess Scyhelleria called out to him, an unconcealable smile appearing on her face.
“Princess Scyhelleria…” Zeras suddenly called out as Princess Scyhelleria turned to him.
“You’re still gravely injured, internally. Maybe you should leave this domain before the fourth pressure descends. I don’t think you will survive it, with your injuries,” Zeras called out as Princess Scyhelleria simply looked at him in confusion.
“And also, if you don’t mind, can I trust you with my cat?” He asked as he passed Fluffy into her arms.
“Just help me give it back to the female Giaran you saw me with the last time…”
“Aren’t you also coming back? Why did you want to wait for the fourth pressure to descend?” Princess Scyhelleria asked, a strange emotion appearing in those bloodlusting eyes of hers. An emotion of worry…
“I still have some unfinished business…” He replied with a shrugging smile as Princess Scyhelleria took Fluffy into her hands.
“Is there something you can explain to me, Zeras?” She suddenly called out as Zeras looked into her crimson eyes. “And what is that…”
“Why…why have you been always so kind to me? Why did you give me, just as you said, your hard-earned treasures to me then? We didn’t even know each other, and I don’t remember talking to you when you wanted to steal our map.
And you also saved me from getting crippled by the Angelia races, even when you could potentially been risking a very great promise that you had made before.
Why did you even bother when I outright refused to acknowledge your existence back in the stadium? And now you just saved me from getting injured by the pressure… I don’t understand why,” Princess Scyhelleria said with confused eyes as Zeras simply looked into those ruby red eyes.
“I…I don’t know too. Maybe…maybe, I just don’t want another to die, if I could have helped in some way. It doesn’t explain everything, but I just think, that can sum up the majority of everything..” He replied, as Princess smiled brilliantly before she leaned forward and kissed him on the lips once more.
Five seconds passed in the silence of the green plains before Princess Schylleria parted her lips from his.
“I think…a monster like me, might have just loved for her first time…” She said, a single tear drop rolling down from her eyes, and in the next second, her figure and that of Fluffy rapidly waned and then disappeared from the domain.
“Do I love her?” Zeras asked to none in particular as he looked at the place where she just disappeared into.
[Well, I have no idea what love really is. But I do like using lust to my advantage, making me able to recognize it in every of its ever-changing form. And I can say for sure, that, this isn’t lust…] the system gave its best reply as Zeras smiled.
[Maybe you should embrace this when everything ends…]The system’s voice rang out as Zeras’ eyes regained their focus, and he turned to look into the distance…
“And when do you think this will all end?” He asked as he began jogging forward, which slowly turned into a full-blown speed…
“Mine hasn’t ended after more than a thousand or so reincarnations. I have no idea how long yours will take…”
“Definitely not within a lifetime…”
