Chaos Devourer System - Chapter 104

Chapter 104: Damn Lady Luck!!!
A dark stretch of oscillating waves spread into the distance as far as eyes could see, radiating an extremely gloomy aura that made Zera’s heart pound heavily in his chest.

The Malevolent Sea wasn’t a normal color of water, no!, It was the color of the darkest ink, that flowed and waved just like ordinary water.

Even though there was no sign of beast present, he could feel for some unknown reason, his hair standing on end.

“Just focus on driving. You’ll be safe…”

The voice of Officer Arroyo made his beating heart slow down a little as he felt a little safe.

Why?

Because from what he could sense from the Officers, they radiated an aura not a bit weaker than that of Instructor Moneca which means they are at least at the Cosmic Star rank stage. They could at least prevent him from dying if things were to go wrong.

Zeras closes his eyes, taking in continuous deep breaths, calming himself down as his eyes snapped open regaining their calm.

His right hand stretched forward as he clenched the controller and pushed it forward causing the spaceship to pick up speed but he still didn’t dare to go too fast.

“We’re currently moving at a speed of 1.5 Mach. Judging by the distance shown to us on the Radar, it would take us 4 hours before we arrive there.” Zeras calmly informed the officers as he fully focused on flying and stopped himself from looking at the Sea.

“Good. He’s able to easily regain his calm so fast and fully focus on the task…” The voice of Arroyo rang out in the minds of the other officers.

This was one of his genetic abilities, Telepathy.

“His concentration is good at least. Besides, he’s not like the other cadets who are overly respectful and stiff. He’s not afraid to ask questions and knows well to listen… That’s some good qualities…” Officer Halo said, his voice booming in the other minds.

“He’s good Talent Material…” Officer Zurin said, the one that speaks less in the entire group also complimented Zeras for the first time.

But Zeras wasn’t even aware they were all discussing something at his back as he fully focused on piloting the spaceship.

An hour quickly passed as the spaceship cleverly concealed itself, gently moving on the path without making noise at all.

Yet, as it moved forward, so did the sun slowly move away as Night slowly crept in…

“It’s said the Abyssal creatures are the most active at night…” Officer Arroyo’s voice rang out in their minds and the other officers also gave a nod of approval as they stared at the Malevolent Sea noticing an increase in the strength of the tides.

“Zeras. Reduce the speed to Mach One…” Officer Emmaus instructed as he gently tapped on Zera’s shoulder.

“Yes, officer…” Zeras followed the order but his heart couldn’t help spiking up more as he also noticed the darkness slowly setting in he knew it most likely would affect the sea, but he wasn’t aware of the ever-slowly increasing frequency of the tides…

2 more hours rapidly passed with the spaceship gently moving through the lonely path, the sound of crashing waves the only thing breaking the silence present on the spaceship.

The five officers have positioned themselves to cover the screen where the Malovelent Sea could be seen from, automatically blocking Zera’s view.

Zeras noticed this action too but he refused to say anything and just fully concentrated on piloting just as he was told.

Officer Arroyo’s eyes were narrowed to points as the five watched the ever-increasing tide of the Sea that passed with every minute as the darkness slowly seeped in…

All the officers’ eyes suddenly widened at the same time as they noticed a faint gleam in the distance extremely glaring in the darkness.

The waves slowly and gently rose in the distance as the sound of rising tides immediately increased.

Officer Arroyo looked at the other officers and gave a nod to them before turning back to Zeras as bent down and placed his two hands on Zera’s shoulder.

“Zeras…” Officer Arroyo whispered.

“Yes, officer…”

“Increase the speed to Mach 8 and don’t worry about trying to fly quietly…”

Zeras’s heart immediately dropped on hearing that as a vein popped on his head, his heart increasing out of control but the two palms resting on his shoulder calmed him down strangely.

“Yes, Officer Arroyo.” Zeras immediately pushed the controller forward as much as he could as the spaceship reached a terrifying speed of Mach 8.”

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP

A loud sound of the air being ripped out reverberated through the silence ringing throughout the entire Malevolent Sea as the speed of sound was broken eight times in a single outburst.

Zeras’s back slammed on the seat due to the resultant force as his hands holding the controller vibrated continuously.

The highest speed he ever went at the Interdimensional combat class was Mach 4. Now that he was ordered to suddenly increase by double that speed, his hands couldn’t but quiver.

The small light at the distance was closing in incredibly fast causing the eyes of the Officers to narrow even more as they noticed different other lights appearing and slowly gathering.

“Pirad, try checking what type it is… ” Officer Arroyo ordered the officer who wore a single eye mask as the man nodded and slowly took off his eye cover.

Removing the eye-cover, an extremely glaring purple light revealed itself to the world looking like small sprinkles of different starlight were shining out light in his pupil.

Officer Pirad’s eyes looked at the lights in the distance as his gaze locked on them.

The view in the distance immediately appeared before Officer Pirad as if it were right in front of him giving him an ultra-clear image of almost a thousand kilometers away.

His eyes locked on the lights noticing a school of Abyssal fishes, with the smallest about 2 metres in length. His eyes didn’t even rest on them as focused on the brightest light right behind the group and noticed a bear-like abyssal creature his body mistakenly emitted a wave of powerful pressure but was quickly canceled away with a slight oscillation of Officer Halo’s muscles before it could reach Zeras.

Officer Pirad’s eye glow reduced as he put on his eye mask before looking at Officer Arroyo.

“The hundreds at the front are small fries, but the big bear at the back is at the Peak Cosmic Rank stage. It might have been just a bit of a struggle if it was alone but with those smaller ones and we not knowing how many others are truly around, it’s not wise to engage… ” Officer Pirad said when suddenly Zera’s voice rang throughout the Spaceships.

“Officers, we’ll be out in 30 minutes if we continue at Mach 8…” Zeras said.

“Good. Hey, Zeras.” Officer Arroyo called out.

“Yes, Officer.”

“Increase the speed to Mach 10…”

“What!!??, Um…Yes Sir…” Zeras immediately dragged the controller to the highest level which was Mach 10. Normally this type of spaceship was a stealth type and not for really travelling with speed. That was why its Mach Level was so low.

“10 mi… nutes… more, Officer…” Zera’s back was pressed tightly against his seat as he squeezed out the word from his mouth.

“Hmm, It has disappeared…” Officer Furin’s surprised voice suddenly rang out as they noticed the lights were all suddenly gone as if everything that happened before was all a mirage.

“It’s not gone…” Officer Pirad’s calm voice rang out.

“It’s directly beneath us…” Officer Arroyo finished the word as he directed his attention to Zeras.

“Zeras…”

“Yes, Officer…”

“Prepare for Impact…”

“What!!!!”

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.

A gigantic claw-like hand ripped out of the Malevolent Sea as it rapidly closed in on the Spaceship.

Its hands were covered in scales, each brimming with a dark ruinous aura of destruction.

The claw completely covered the spaceship, more than ten times bigger than it, as it slapped forward at it and then.

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM

A bright flash of light. A Halo!!

Zeras felt he had been devoid of every of his sense as the world abruptly turned black and white and his consciousness rapidly descended into darkness.

The spaceship was sent crashing forward with speed causing a fiery explosion as the spaceship immediately exploded to nothing, the fate of those within completely unknown.
