Chaos Devourer System - Chapter 392

Chapter 392: 20 Seconds To Death!
A facedown occurred between the thief and the owner as the Zeras looked at the middle-aged man scrutinizingly and the other was also doing the same.

From looking, Zeras could already analyze some things about the man. Firstly, was his ability, and Zeras could tell it had to do with physical strength. The man was able to sap his bullets away and judging from the sound of the collision, it was like his hands were metal and repeatedly slapped away the bullets. So, his true ability was most likely skin hardening.

Secondly, he could smell Roma A5 on the man. A popular alcoholic drink In Celestria Valley, which indicated the man had probably just finished drinking the alcohol which Zeras had learned from Mi Hung to be very intoxicating. But the man was a Peak Metero rank so he definitely could override that effect. As to what degree, he didn’t really know well.

“To think there will be someone who would dare to infiltrate the Celestria Museum Hall, pretty bold or stupid isn’t it…” The man asked with a malevolent smirk as Zera’s eyebrows furrowed and ignoring the man he looked at the side and he could already see the flashing lights from his left- and right-hand side which was the sign of approaching guards.

’20 Seconds, and they’ll completely corner me…’ Zeras thought to himself.

“You have already been cornered. The question is how you will like to die?” The man said as Zetas stood upright and pocketed his hands to his coats before flinging the five memory cards to the man’s feet.

“That’s what I took and now I’ve returned it….” Zeras said out loud as a smirk widened on Connel’s lips.

“You want to play the classic style right? Simply giving back what you stole, after realizing that you have been cornered, and then you waltzed away scot-free? Is that your plan?” Connel said with a grin. The thief had no idea what shit he just got himself into.

“I’ll forgive you, but only if you leave one thing behind…” Connel said with a grin.

“And what is that…”

“Your life…” Connel said and instantly, Zeras slammed his boots on the ground twice, and instantly, thrusters were placed under his boots as he soared forward towards Connel with horrifying speed. The cold blade gleamed dangerously in the moonlight as Khan slashed at his neck, but the man didn’t even turn to look as his hands slammed downwards with horrifying speed toward Zeras’s shoulder.

‘I’ll lose my entire left arm before I reach his neck…’ Zeras analyzed instantly and immediately he stopped the blade heading for the man’s neck, hurriedly throwing it up, as he turned to the side instead, the hands passing by his shoulders and immediately Zeras kicked at the floor as he jumped upward lying horizontally on the ground before slamming the back of his leg on the knife’s head that was feeling downwards causing it to dig into the man’s cheek and come out at the other side.

“Tch, you’re courting death…” Connel said with a smirk as he folded his hand into a fist before slamming towards Zeras’s head which was on the air, but Zeras reactivated his thrusted as he rotated with speed, moving his head away from the direction of the punch even though the residual air still caused cuts to badly mangle his face.

Zeras didn’t pay that much heed as the blade immediately poured out from his pocket and he kicked all of them forward towards Connel’s face.

The man at first didn’t care about them, after all, it’d cause some artificial damage but his face changed in the next second as he hurriedly raced both hands to his face.

Immediately the fling blades slammed on the man’s hands.

BOOOOM

BOOOOM

BOOOOM

BOOOOM

BOOOOM

Explosions went off like a firecracker as Connel was hurled up from his feet from the explosions and slammed on the wall, cracking a hole within.

Before the flying blades even exploded, Zeras immediately took to his left as the thrusters beneath his feet blazed furiously and he shut to the side of the fence.

The scene was like that of Zeras running towards the guards, but halfway he turned and suddenly ran for 20 more meters before bending to the ground and flinging away the metallic plate from the ground, revealing the sewer below.

KABOOM

The wall where Connel crashed into was blown apart as the man rose angrily from where he crashed into but the last thing, he saw was Zeras opening the metallic plate on the ground and immediately jumping down the hole.

5 seconds later, the guards arrived before the hole as they looked at the hole where Zeras jumped into, immediately one of them tried jumping into it but he was grabbed by a large pair of hands before he could do so.

“There’s no need. He’s already gone…” Connel said as he looked at the hole. He knew well that was how Zeras came in and he would no doubt be very familiar with the canal. The canal led to thousands of other canals. Trying to search for a person within was a fruitless waste of time.

“But you all don’t have to worry. He never went out with the goods…” Connel said as he opened his palms where the five memory cards were present and smiles appeared on the faces of the other guards.

“And he also let us know of this secret passageway that we don’t know about; His atrocity would be forgiven and I’m sure he won’t dare set foot within this place again. A win to us isn’t it…”

“He sure is one lucky bastard…” One of the guards said as Connel grinned evilly.

“Hopefully he learns his lesson. Hey, you. Find the place where this belongs too and return it…” Connel said as he gave the memory cards to one of the guards.

“You all return back to your position…”

“Yes sir…”

And immediately they all left leaving Connel alone in the place.

“His skills…” Connel mused out loudly as he looked at the hole where Zera escaped into.

“That is no ordinary thief…” He mused out loud as he zipped the metallic covering back to its place.

The exchange wasn’t even up to 7 seconds, yet it was one of the most intense that Connel had ever fought. Every of the thief’s moves looked easy, but only he knew well how long it would take to develop such godly evading and attacking skills. It wasn’t a skill developed in the quiet dojos in Celestria Valleys…

“Could it be that group?” Connel mused but soon brushed it away.

“If he dares come back. I’ll kill him in the cruelest way possible. But that would be impossible as I’ll be closing off this canal immeditely.” Connel said and he also moved away from the scene.
