Chapter 476: Zeras Adopts A Void Cat
“So they can’t be taken away from this space, if so, it really must go away before we move too far,” Zeras said as he looked around the place.
They were now starting to leave the area, and he thought it might be quite a walk for the small thing to get back to its home.
“They actually can be taken, but the total amount of people who possessed them does not reach 5,000. They cannot be forcefully taken; they only choose to bond with you themselves.
Millions of ships might pass here for the next couple of months, but I’m sure none of them would get this close to one of them.
Even playing like this could be called strange. The cat must probably be a newly born one,” Sylvia said as she chuckled slightly.
Immediately, he stretched his hand and tugged at the dome, ripping open a small hole before moving the cat to the hole, wanting to send it away.
But he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow when the cat, like a snake, easily moved away from the clutches of his palms and came to stand at Zera’s shoulder.
“And why is it still trying to stay?” Zeras asked, turning to look at Sylvia, who was currently looking at him and the small cat dumbly.“It’s time to go, buddy,” Zeras said as he grabbed the cat once more and tried to place it out of the hole, but once again, it successfully slipped away before Zeras could do so.
And this time, it suddenly climbed its way onto Zera’s chest, maintaining eye contact with him.
Zeras raised an eyebrow, but he couldn’t help but agree that those multicolored eyes, which flashed with light continuously, were very beautiful.
In the next second, a strange golden rune appeared in its eyes, and Zera’s face instantly changed.
The cat floated away from Zera’s chest as the four lights around its body lighted up brilliantly, while Zera’s left eye also lit up in the same color.
The light went on for some time, the golden runes carving into both figures’ bodies before it finally settled down as Zeras regained himself and the cat went back to gnawing at his finger.
“What the hell just happened?” Zeras asked in shock as the golden notification panel immediately appeared in front of him.
[Congratulations, Host has successfully bonded with a Voidcat!]
[Secret Quest Completed: Bond with a companion.]
[Rewards: A new segment has been opened in the shop just for the pets you possess….]
“Zeras, it decided to bond with you! A Life-and-Death bond!” Sylvia said in shock as Zeras shrugged helplessly.
“Whatever,” he mused to himself as he allowed the small thing to keep gnawing at his finger.
“No, this is not whatever, you just adopted a cat. Come on, you have to give it a name,” Sylvia screamed out gleefully like a small girl as Zeras looked at her with an unbelievable gaze.
“A name, huh?” he said, and strangely, he watched as the cat stopped gnawing on his finger and looked at him with expectant eyes.
“Don’t tell me it can hear what I’m saying?” Zeras asked Sylvia, who giggled.
“The Voidcat are said to be smarter than most races in the Upper realm. Of course, it can comprehend us. I hear some of them can even talk, although that is only to their owner, if it reaches a sufficiently high bond with them,” Sylvia said as Zeras looked at the small thing, which currently had those big kitten eyes that should have melted anyone’s heart but failed terribly with Zeras.
“Hmmm, it’s really fluffy, you know. How about I call you Fluffy?” Zeras said as he watched the cat jump on his face and lick his forehead.
“Guess it likes the name. Most would give their pets powerful names, like Warmonger, The Destroyer. Pets can be used for battle, you know. Calling out Fluffy in the middle of a battle looks comical…”
“I don’t plan for it to fight at all. Just to keep my fingers busy sometimes. Hopefully, he doesn’t grow strong enough to rip my pinky out,” Zeras mused as he watched it repeatedly gnawing on his pinky.
It must have thought that was the smallest and therefore easiest target among Zera’s fingers.
“The Voidcat has their advantages in that they don’t need food to survive; they feed on the natural essence of the worlds, with Mana being one of them,” Sylvia said as Zeras gave a nod.
“Make sense considering the fact that they live in space all their life. Where will they get chicken to eat in such a place? Besides, do cultivators even eat nowadays? Having to take their pet to the restaurant once in a while might be headache-inducing and very bothersome. I would say evolution really did a good job for these creatures…”
“And also, they control powerful elements, making them an excellent choice for elemental cultivators.
Thier stripes show their elements. A stripe is the most common, two stripes are pretty rare. As for three stripes, I have never seen anyone possess them before. The only place you’ll see them is here. After all, the more stripes they have, the more prideful they are.
Fluffy has four stripes. She is the rarest of the rarest…” Sylvia said as Zeras raised an eyebrow.
“Um, she?” he asked as he turned to look at Fluffy, only to find out that it was sticking its tongue out at Sylvia, a mocking smile on its face.
“I knew he could never be a female,” Zeras said as he watched the cat rapidly enter into his sleeves when Sylvia’s six eyes brightened up with a powerful golden light.
“Wait. What the hell is that?” Zeras said with shock in his eyes and his heart beating fast as Sylvia turned to look at her front, anger flashing within.
“Space Pirates!”
“Huh!?”
