Chapter 189: When The Nice Approach Doesn\'t Work

The slowly rising sun pierced through the thick foliage of the forest, illuminating the forest in beautiful golden-colored points of light that pierced through the foliage.

At the heart of the forest, the air suddenly rustled in a circular format and immediately a dark vortex bloomed to life and a leg soon stepped through it.

A young man covered in blue diamond-like scales and white hair slowly stepped out of the vortex as his piercing dark eyes scanned the environment.

“Hmmm, finally back…” Zeras muttered taking a deep breath in of the pure natural air of the forest.

“But now I don’t know where I am and this forest extended for miles onward…” Zeras muttered activating his eyes of chaos as he looked around the place, the sight of the trees filling his vision.

Suddenly his eyes narrowed as he picked up a group of four not very far from where he was.

“Hmm, let me see if they’ll be willing to share a map…” Zeras muttered, slowly moving in the direction but his legs soon nailed to the ground as he looked at his body.

He was still covered In the blue scales and since his EIA uniform had been torn apart, he was currently clad in a normal long dark-sleeved T-shirt and pants.

If anyone sighted him, they would think of him as some failed mutation freak so he definitely had to get rid of the scales covering his body.

“Hey, system. Do you know how to undo these scales?”

[Do you wish to undo the scales?]

“Yes,”

Immediately Zeras said that or even willed that, the blue scales immediately retracted back into his body once again revealing his supple white skin.

“Uh,” Thinking of the scales to appear, they immediately showed up again and with a thought, even reverted once again.

“So I can put the scales back in and bring them out with just a thought…” Zeras muttered with an excited expression. With this, he’ll be able to avoid others knowing of his secret cards.

[Normally it should be impossible for a Slumbering Titan to revert their scales in but because you contained an even higher quantity of your human and Chaos Devourer gene,. you can choose to go back into a humanoid form and retract the scales…]

“Well, good for me then, huh?” Zeras said as he rigged himself tightly to the ground, spider webs sneaking through the ground before he immediately burst forward transversing five steps in a single second and rapidly closing in on his targets in the distance which appeared to be a group of four females.

“According to the calculation, It’ll take two more days before the Celestial Titan Tower reveals itself, Princess Syccheleria…” Mitra said directing her attention from the map in her hands as she looked at the lady, who had her back to her.

This was her young mistress Princess Syccheleria. The most powerful and most beautiful young genius of the Hydra family.

“That’s true Princess Syccheleria” Another voice gently echoed from a lady beside her who also had a map in her hands.

She was the second map checker like her, the second most important in the group, and then the last person was a lady with long red hair, Princess Syccheleria’s protector. Being only one year above the princess in age, she has been trained in a bloody path all for her life duty which was to protect the Princess at all cost.

She could be said to be the ultimate and the closest person to the princess, having been with her ever since they both could crawl.

“But there’s another minor cultivation ruin just 30 kilometers from here. We could check it out before the celestial Titans Tower appears…” The second map checker said looking at the long white-haired princess who had not spoken a single word for almost six hours now.

“What do you say, Selena?” The gentle whisper of the princess sounded like the greatest piece of melodic music as the red-haired lady directed her attention to her, her brows furrowed before they relaxed.

“Since it’ll take two days for the tower to reveal itself. It is not a bad thing to check out the cultivation…” Suddenly Selena stopped as her eyes narrowed dangerously causing a sharp aura to suddenly descend onto the environment which would make one feel as if they were being watched by a venomous snake in the shadows.

“Sneaking in on other’s conversation, that’s pretty rude, isn’t it…” Selena’s voice rang out as the whole group immediately halted with surprise evident on their face as they never even knew someone was watching them all this while.

“You misunderstood me…” The masculine voice echoed throughout the area as a figure jumped down from the tree ten meters away at their path, gently landing on the ground.

Immediately Selena’s eyes narrowed as she looked at the gust of wind that formed on the young man’s landing and she thought to herself…

‘He has amazing control over his strength…’

“And you are?” Selena’s voice rang out filled with slight disgust.

“Zeras. Zeras Celestria…” Zeras replied trying to be as courteous as possible.

“Zeras Celestria? You’re that EIA guy with a bounty on his head…” Selena replied as Zera’s eyes quivered uncontrollably.

“Umm, that’s definitely a strange way to put it…”

“So Zeras. You’re tired of life so you want us to do the dirty deeds for you. At least, death is better in the hands of a beautiful lady than a pack of hyenas isn’t it? Or else, I can’t understand what other reasons could there be for you sneaking on us when there’s a bounty on your head.”

Zera immediately felt a cold feeling pass through his entire body as he felt a strange pressure descend on him like small snakes were crawling around him but he could sense they were of no harm and ignored it.

“Allow me to explain. I have been walking around this place for the past few days and um, doing my research around and um…”

“So you’re lost…” Selena said as she wrapped everything up for him.

“It is like you can read my mind…” Zeras said with an awkward smile.

“Well, it’s no surprise since you don’t have a map with you. So want to steal our map?” Selena asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Of course not. I was just wondering if I could ask to borrow without losing my head before I say the first words…”

“So, um, can I borrow your map for just five secon…”

“NO!”

“What?”

“I said no!” Selena replied once again, her tone leaving absolutely no room for discussion.

“Um…”

“Our map is not for rent. Is that all you wanted?” Selena asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Yeah, I just needed the map to…”

“Good. Now scram!!!”

Five seconds later…

“Why aren’t you scramming yet?”

“Oh? It’s just that I forgot to tell you one thing…”

“Oh, what is that?” Selena asked with irritation.

“I don’t leave until I get what I want…” Zeras said as all the smiles on his face faded away and a cold aura enveloped the world as Selena burst out her aura causing the entire area suddenly hidden in a cold cellar.

Immediately the group’s eyes widened as they watched the image of Zera’s in front of them disperse into particles in the air and a split second after that, a meter pothole appeared in front of them…

“You really are tempting fate…”
