Chapter 271: Adapting To The New Environment
He knew one wrong move, and it wouldn’t even know how he died. Not only did he have to be careful of the other participants, he also had to search for places where the Golden Tickets might be hidden, as per the clue given to them the envoys.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed dangerously as he felt a bright halo flash through the place causing him to instantly appear behind the back of a large tree as he ducked within but hearing no other sound, he turned back his head to look at the place where the Halo was coming from able to pick it slowly residing in the distance.
“Maybe it is a high-grade Golden Ticket revealing itself. I’ve hit gold…” He thought to himself as he sprinted with speed towards the direction where the bright halo came from and soon arrived at the place but was disappointed.
What he saw was a young man on his knees who continuously hacked out vomits and was about to leave when an idea sneaked into his head and he immediately brought out his pistol.
“Place your hands up where I can see them…” He ordered coldly as the young man slowly rose to his feet.
“Now bring out all the golden Tickets you just obtained along with the one you just obtained right now, and I might decide to let you live…” He command cocking the gun.
He was sure the bright halo was an indication of the presence of a high-grade Golden Ticket, and it seemed this sickly idiot beat him to it, so he just had to collect it back and then put a bullet in his head for stealing something that rightfully belonged to him.
“What is a Golden Ticket?” The confused voice echoed to his ears as he immediately snorted.‘TCH, you can keep playing dumb in hell…’ He thought to himself as he immediately fired the gun.
BAAAANNNG
The bullet tore through the air, three circular shockwaves appearing instantly in the air, revealing it to have torn through the air with a horrifying Mach 3 speed, yet the devilish expected brain matter splashing through the air didn’t occur as he suddenly felt the figure in front of it disappear and in the next moment, he was locked in a tight embrace.
“A figure was hugging tight from behind while his hands were on his own that were holding the gun which was now pointed at his chin, no doubt blowing a hole through his head, before he could move a simple muscle.
“Fast…He is horrifyingly fast…’
Sweats dripped down the side of his head as he felt the cold nozzle of the gun at below his jaws.
“Do you want to know how fast I can pull the trigger?” The soothing whisper entered into his ears as a chill spread through his spine.
“Good. I have a few questions for you and if you answer them satisfactorily, I might just let you live…” Zeras whispered into the young man’s ears as his heart began thumping in his chest.
The smell the young man exuded was just too intoxicating…
“Firstly, what is a Golden Ticket?” Zeras asked as a strange expression appeared on Kain’s face.
“Huh?”
The sound was followed by that of a pistol getting cocked as sweat poured down Kain’s face and he screamed out.
“The Golden Tickets are what we must obtain to pass the test. The more the Golden Tickets, the more we rank higher!” The young man screamed out, causing a glint to flash in Zera’s eyes.
“What is the test about?”
‘Why is he asking stupid questions?’ Kain thought, wondering what type of psychopath did he just met.
“It is to gather as many Golden Tickets as possible. The Golden Tickets are hidden in a special and highly unusual place on this Island. The higher the Golden Tickets we can harness before two days from now, the more our chances of enrolling into The Organization…”
“Good. Tell me just how many Golden Tickets are on this Island and how many people are participating In this test.”
“The number of participants is unknown but definitely close to a thousand. And the number of Golden Tickets is limitless. But the organization will only accept 100 participants. So it would boil down to how many golden tickets we obtained…”
“Good. Now the final question, what are the laws?”
“LAWS!!?” Kain replied, being the most ridiculous thing he has ever heard, when suddenly it all picked, and he realized something.
“Wait, you… you’re not a parti…”
BAAAAAAAANG
The sound of a fired bullet rang out as a hole appeared atop Kain’s head, blood splashing out like a tap, a second later, and Zeras released him from his grasp as he dropped to the ground, lifelessly.
SPLATTER
Blood splattered around with brain juices as his head on hitting the ground separated into pieces like shattered glass as he laid on the ground, headless.
PHUUU
Zeras blew the smoke off the gun’s mouth before gently tucking the gun in his trousers.
The gun’s bullets were extremely fast and was a lethal weapon that could blow the head of a Meteor Rank Stage into pieces.
Slowly bending to Kain’s corpse, he began searching his body as he found a total of 20 golden colored cards in his pockets.
And immediately he removed it before continuing his search and he found another card inside his pocket, except that this one was crimson-colored instead and contain the image of Kain and a logo of a strange organization.
Zeras also stored that in his pockets before placing his hands on Kain’s body.
“Activate Chaos Devour…” Immediately, white essence mist came out of his body, passing through Zera’s fingers tip and entering inside his body.
Five seconds later and the mist stopped, while a notification panel appeared in front of him.
