Chaos Devourer System

Chapter 658  Jumong World 2

Except that here had no supreme sect to hide under, and the battle would be no doubt more brutal and fierce, around three times fiercer and more barbaric.

"Among thousands of races, our Blood Void cat clan was nothing but an outcast, coming here to seek refuge.

As you can guess, the battle would be no doubt brutal, and surviving is as high as the heavens.

But from being nothing but slaves, used for reconnaissance, we grew up, defeating and conquering various clans, and we rose from an outcast to a lower race, then a middle race, until we are now one of the three upper races of this Forest Jumong Area, unable to be threatened by anyone. It's why it's so peaceful around," he said, chuckling as Zeras smiled, yet his head worked at full speed thinking of the man's words, and noting something amiss.

"You seem like you now at least have a gist of the happenings," he said, resulting in a nod from Zeras.

"Yes, I do."

"Then you must also have questions, don't you?" he said with a smile as Zeras nodded. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Then, ask away, you're our guest anyway."

"Firstly, is the fact that you mentioned strangers are not allowed into territories, yes?"

"Yes. They aren't. They might be spies, after all," he explained.

"Then, how come we're welcomed so amicably? How do you know we're not spies for the other upper clans, coming here to count your numbers and your power levels? Aren't you too trusting for an upper-rank clan with thousands of years of experience?" Zeras said as both he and the old man took their cups and took a sip.

"That's a very reasonable question there, and also confirmed to me two things," he began.

"Oh really, and what is that?"

"Our King made the right decision choosing you as a bonded companion, and you also can't comprehend what our King says," he said as Zeras's eyes flashed with curiosity.

"How do you know that?"

"Simple. Because in every one of your words, instead of saying 'I' referring to yourself, you're always using 'we.' Never forgetting about your companion. It shows the depth of care and that you truly believe it to be one existence, even in your normal speech.

Most would only refer to themselves in a conversation, never calling their companions, or only mentioning them in some areas. You seem to me an exception to that, and that means he has truly made a wise decision bonding with you."

"Hmmm, that's a good point, I don't think anyone can ever note," Zeras mused. Who cares whether a companion is mentioned in one's speech? Most just glaze over it, but after he had been bonded with Fluffy, he had just found the pronoun 'we' more likable.

"You also can't comprehend what our King says, or you would have already understood what was going on. He talks pretty fast and silently, you know?" he said, chuckling as he turned to Fluffy who smiled shamelessly.

"Oh, you can hear it talk?" Zeras asked curiously. While he obviously could understand what Fluffy says, it was reduced to simple and basic things.

 He couldn't actively communicate with Fluffy, but he could at least pick up on some few things about it from its meows and expressions.

"He talks brilliantly and sharply, and can even speak directly into our mind, like he is telling me right now to stop because he is feeling embarrassed," he said to him as Zeras turned to look at Fluffy who clapped his hands on its forehead tiredly, and Zeras burst into an unusually loud laughter.

It was the first time he had ever heard what Fluffy could really say inside, and he had always wondered what the small cat was thinking or saying.

What it felt about his journey all this while, but he knew well it would be close to impossible for him to ever know.

But now, he could hear what Fluffy said, and it brought him so much joy there was no other way he could even explain it.

"I never knew the tiny head was so mischievous," Zeras said, rubbing Fluffy's jaw resulting in another episode of sweet purring.

"There are a lot of things you still have to learn about it. Really, a lot!" the old man said as Zeras nodded seriously.

"That said, might I ask why you have the word 'Blood' in your name? I only know Void cats, I have never heard of blood ones before," Zeras asked seriously as he noticed the old man's hand holding the cup convulse, causing some of the tea to spill on the table, and he turned to look at Zeras deep in the eyes.

"I'm very sorry if I might have unknowingly triggered something..."

"Nah, nah. It's fine. It seems even I still can't get over it. I'm glad you asked me. It would have been bad and very disheartening if you had asked anyone else that question," he said with a melancholic smile as he wiped the tea spill off before taking a gentle sip and heating it slightly.

"The reason why we are called Blood Void Cat. It was a name given to us by one of our priests 400 years ago. A name of shame and also respect," the priest said, his eyes looking to the side, and Zeras listened attentively.

"As you might know, the Void cats love to bond with other races, seeking companions that are not of our own selves.

So when people pass by the divine realm, we might often bond with the special ones amongst them, seeking to explore mysteries of the outside world beyond the dividing line."

"That's true," Zeras replied. That was truly the way he had contracted with Fluffy.

"But sometimes we make very fatal mistakes. Mistakes that might cause us harm and pain for thousands of years to come. One such mistake led to our own existence right now," he said.

"The mistake of choosing the wrong bond!"
