Chapter 229: Finally Unlocking Charm!
Immediately he got dragged down by gravity, he would step on the ground once again and soar forward with speed.
This was the closest thing Zeras had been to being able to fly himself as he moved quickly through the air.
Progress in the cultivator stages meant the ability to become even more nature-defying. Once one progresses from the Star rank stage to the Meteor rank stage, they would feel the gravity lower on them and become extremely light.
Once they stepped into the Cosmic rank stage, then even gravity itself would be nothing more than a simple nuisance and they would gain the ability to fly in the air.
“Activate Eyes of Chaos…”
His eyes peered through the distance as he saw the burning smoke and remnants of chaotic energy still present in the air.
Landing on the edge of a mountain, he immediately changed his position kicking off the mountain as he closed in on the destructive area.
— — —The entire Nine family geniuses could all be seen on the ground all panting loudly like dying dogs.
Around them were 8 dead bodies of the Zugrofs, who all had the same injury on them. Their ripped-off horn!
Aside from the 8 Zugrofs, there was a single Zugrofs who was knocked out cold. A female Zugrofs with purple horns.
Suddenly they all snapped their heads to the distance where an object could be seen soaring towards them with horrifying speed.
BAAAANG
A cloud of dust rose into the air landing ten meters away from the group as they all jumped up in shock, eyes narrowed.
Slowly the dust cleared and it was a figure they recognized. A figure clad in an EIA uniform and carrying a figure in his arms.
“It seems you all did quite a great job!” Zeras said snickering at their pathetic look.
The Nine Families Genius’s pride knew no bounds since they believed they were the absolute strongest in the world but now that they faced the Zugrofs, their pride reigned in as they had no choice but to pathetically gang on a single one of them order to avoid their death.
This would be a good lesson for them to decrease their arrogance and also imbue in them a flame to get even stronger to avoid such an embarrassing scenario in the future.
The encounter with the Zugrofs though looking negative actually had its benefits.
Zeras talked towards the barbaric-looking Kratos family geniuses, passing Arcule’s unconscious body to them.
“He defeated Shima but lost consciousness too…” He explained as he saw the brows of the Kratos family geniuses immediately rise.
“Hmph, of course, he defeated that trash. What’s more to expect from our young master…” They all hmphed in pride yet carefully took the body from his hands.
‘Yeah, that trash,” Zeras thought mockingly but didn’t say anything.
“Where they any injuries…” He asked Quinn who suddenly teleported to his side.
“Yes.”
“Who”
“The second genius of the underworld family,” Quinn replied looking at the underworld family who all had a somber mood as Zeras looked at them finding only a single person missing.
“Is it that damn pysco… I mean young master Audrey?”
“Exactly the one. He was unconscious during the fight and was sneak attacked by a suicidal Zugrof who wanted to drag one of us down with him. He just happened to be the easiest target.
‘Tch that psychopathic idiot. He would have died in one way or the other before. Good, he died to the aliens. Tch, dying in his sleep, what a lucky bastard…’
“That’s really sad…” Zeras said out loud drawing a nod from Quinn.
“At least we avoided a stupid competition where they would keep killing us one by one or becoming their slaves!” Quinn said.
“That’s true…”
“And that is due to you Zeras”
“Huh?”
“It is very difficult for the Nine families genius to work together like this due to their pride. You came in at the right time, saving the Hydra princess and immediately exposing the truth behind the matter.
Also, your resolution to immediately blow this up into a fight won the Nine Families genius whose bones were already itching for a fight.
When Shima moved and they saw his power, they were all cowered almost to the point of despair but you and Arcules teleporting away with Shima, which is actually risking your own life to take care of the biggest problem also won their appreciation too.
I’m sure you have managed to create a good impression on them and your charm in their eyes has definitely risen greatly.” Quinn said and truly when Zeras turned to look at them, he sensed the once prideful gaze they had reduced clearly and some even gave him an appreciative nod.
‘Yeah. Although I have null charm though…’ Zeras thought mockingly to the system which refused to change his Charm state when suddenly a golden-coloured notification panel appeared in front of his eyes.
[Requirements for Charm met.]
[Congratulations, Host has awakened Charm]
“WHAT!!!”Zeras screamed out loudly jumping off his feet as he looked wide-eyed at the panel.
“What’s wrong!!!” He suddenly heard the voice of Quinn beside him as he turned to him while raising an eyebrow.
Quinn already got in a fighting stance, and he wasn’t the only one. The others were also in a fighting stance. But seeing him looking at them strangely they all slowly rose with slightly angered expressions on their face.
Clearly, this was the wrong time for a joke.
SLAP
Zera’s head jerked forward when a hand slammed at the back of his head, which was from the blindfolded young man.
“Do you want to Ruin your image?” He whispered.
Zeras wanted to laugh mockingly when suddenly his eyes widened in shock as he pointed forward.
“Um, am I the only one seeing this…” He said as the group looked at what he was pointing out their eyes also widened in shock.
“Finally!”
