Chaos Devourer System

Chapter 606: Fluffy’s Quick Recovery

“Well, I can’t convince you more than you can convince yourself. That said, Kenji, I plan to take this Shadow Oppression Valley Cleaning as my duty. That’s the work fitting of a young master like me.

So do prepare everything you need, and register my name. I don’t want to be found breaking the sect rules after all.”

“Huh?”

“See you around, Kenji,” Zeras said as he faded away from Kenji’s side and quickly disappeared into the distance.

“Supreme Heavenly General Kenji Of The King Of The Infinite Universe. A Man Who Had Conquered And Prevailed Over A Thousand Battles. A Man So Powerful That Even The Mighty Titan Race Had No Choice But To Bow Down To His Supremacy, With Thousands Of Heavenly Beauties Lining Up To One Day Get a Chance To Get Laid By Him…” Kenji recited the words that he had been told.

“How come I have never dreamed of that before?” he asked himself, with a numb expression as he watched Zeras’s back completely fade into the distance…

————————————

“Ahh, good to be back….” Zeras mused with a satisfied smile as he looked at his mountain abode with a satisfied expression on his face.

The first thing he did on arriving back before his mountain abode was gently push open his door, his gaze centering on the mattress where he had left Fluffy. His eyebrows furrowed when he couldn’t see the bump, and his perception spread through the entire room, yet he still couldn’t sense his companion.

“Hmmmm,” he muttered. But suddenly his ears perked up as he heard the sound of water splashing.

Quickly, he exited the house and went back to the stream behind his mountain abode.

There was a cat currently chasing after fishes that were jumping in and out of the water, splashing water on the cat’s face as they skillfully evaded its amateurish attacks.

A smile couldn’t help but appear on Zeras’s face as he sighted the little thing. Suddenly, he slammed his leg on the ground, causing the fishes that Fluffy had been trying to catch to be sent flying out of the water.

Immediately, Fluffy seized the opportunity, biting down on one of them mid-air. The fish wriggled in his mouth, but quickly Fluffy dragged it out of the water and onto the land.

Upon exiting the land, it saw Zeras looking around the place, and a big meow appeared on its lips as it took the fish back in its mouth and ran happily to Zeras.

“MEOWWW…” An extra excited meow was given to him as Zeras’s eyes flashed in shock, and he rubbed the fluffy thing on its small jaw, causing it to release a loud satisfied purring sound.

“Good boy. That’s a good catch…” Zeras mused, and just three minutes later, he had made a proper fire, and the smell of roasted fish permeated the environment as the man and cat duo quickly battled with the food, each releasing a satisfied purring sound later.

Once Fluffy finished its meal, it immediately jumped back to the river, causing another session of fish hunting to begin.

“It seems it has recovered,” Zeras mused to himself with a smile as he looked into the distance where the sun just happened to be completely disappearing, leaving streaks of fading orange splashes across the sky.

“The stars will be coming out soon…” he mused and immediately, Zeras climbed up the mountain, balancing himself well by sitting cross-legged.

Then, he brought out the last manual that he had yet to practice, The Nine Star Sword Breathing Style.

He had been preoccupied with the Nine Star Hegemony Manual and the Nine Star Fist so much that he had no time to check out the last art.

But through the night, he would try to comprehend the Nine Star Sword Breathing Style, the art that had been chosen for him by Fluffy.

Opening the book to its first page, it read, “Breathe deeply, until the aura of stars extinguishes the burn of fear in your sword, and every breath is a beautiful refusal for any slash to be less than infinite…” The words were bold and grand.

“A star word art it seems…” he mused to himself as he turned to the next image, and all that was written was nothing but simple sentences…

“When the breath is unsteady, all is unsteady; when the breath is still, all is still. Control the breath carefully. Inhalation gives strength and a controlled body: retention gives steadiness of mind and longevity; exhalation purifies body and spirit, giving power to deliver the finest of sword strokes…”

There were a total of five stances on the following page. After that, the other pages were all blank!

“Strange, only three pages have anything written on them, and the rest are all blank!?” Zeras asked in surprise before turning his gaze back to the initial page and looking at the stances depicted.

Each of them showed a person holding a sword in their hands and performing different types of strokes.

“I understand two things from this picture. One is that one needs a real sword to practice this art.

And the second is that one needs to follow the way of breathing that has been described before one is able to make these slashes correctly,” he explained to himself. Just like the name of the art indicated, it was a sword art where one had to breathe in a certain specific way, which he thought was concealed within the simple sentences that were first written, before one could then deliver the sword strokes drawn in the book.

“It seems I will need Kenji to fetch me a sword tomorrow. That shouldn’t be too much of a request since I’m going to kill devils in the Shadow Suppressing Valley. Of course, I will need a weapon.”

With that settled, Zeras directed the art into his storage space.

The stars were now as clear as day, spewing their lights at him, and immediately he released his desolate star ring, which started spinning, absorbing the starlight and quietly filling his core with energy, while also changing its composition with every revolution of the ring….

A composition to something mush stronger…
