Chapter 628: Finally Earning The Acknowledgement Of The Sect…
“For the reward of being the first ever to enter the sect in such a way, you will be given a special reward: a single wish of yours fulfilled by the sect…” Grand Elder Swordsworth said, earning the shock and surprise of the others.
‘Strange. I was preparing for a second battle…’ Zeras thought as he looked at the elders. He had no doubt they would have made things even more difficult for him, and he was now preparing himself to fight an undying expert. Who would have thought they would reign their pride in and allow him what he originally wanted? That was suspicious…
“If I remember correctly, an inner sect member is allowed to take in an outer sect disciple as a personal intern of his, isn’t that right?” Zeras asked Grand Elder Swordsworth.
“Yes, so far as the outer sect disciple is willing…” Grand Elder Swordsworth replied.
Zeras nodded, then turned to the area where the outer sect was sitting. His eyes locked on a figure whose uniform had been drenched in cold sweat.
“Then, Kenji will become my first personal intern,” Zeras declared in front of the entire sect, before slowly turning and walking off the battle stage.
“ZERAS!!!”
“ZERAS!!!”
“ZERAS!!!”
“ZERAS!!!”
“ZERAS!!!”
The deafening roar of the outer sect members boomed through the entire arena as they all rose to their feet, chanting his name with valor. It’s been years. Years since they have watched others like them reduced to nothing but slaves to those pompous inner sect members, and yet the only hope they had was seeing the people they knew have their blood spilled on the arena stage.
Their will to cultivate had long been blown out, like a candle in a storm, and the only choice they had was to simply keep at their duties, doing them well, so one day they got the chance to enter the eyes of an inner sect member.
They had found no meaning at all in even bothering with cultivation, since there was no hope of escaping their fate.
Yet they watched him. They watched as he shocked all the elders of the sect, venting their anger on the pompous inner sect members, and giving them a large slap in the face by defeating every opponent in the most heartwarming way possible.
He had rekindled the dulled flames in them, and now they could see hope.
“Why…” The whisper suddenly came the moment Zeras was about to completely exit the arena floor. He stood rooted to where he was in silence.
“Why do you not use your sword…” The whisper came once more and it belonged to none other than Asura, lying in a pool of blood behind him. Zeras turned his head to the side.
“My swords are solely used to end my enemies. You don’t fulfill the criteria…” Zeras replied, before continuing on his path. He soon floated upwards, throwing Kenji behind him, before becoming a flash of light that disappeared into the distance.
“It’s been long. So long, since I’ve found someone so familiar…”

“You did it, Boss!!!” The roar of joy came from none other than Kenji, whose fat jiggled up and down as he jumped around like a boy who finally had his true toy given.
“It’s disappointing you think I was really going there to get myself killed. My general is supposed to have unflinching confidence in me, even if I was said to have descended into the deepest part of hell, you dum-dum!” Zeras said as he tapped the fatty on the back of his head.
“Aigh!” Kenji said as he jumped away from Zeras due to the stinging pain.
“But Boss, it really is a matter of joy. And also, um, I want to say thank you for declaring me as a personal intern in front of such a big crowd. It’s the highest form of respect I have ever…”
“Forget about it, Kenji. You’re my future general. If one day the doors of hell were opened for me, I would also drag you along! So I wouldn’t be thankful if I were you. You’re cursed with me, dum-dum…” Zeras reminded him with a devilish smirk that made Kenji’s spine tingle and all his fat slightly fold in.
“That’s a joke. Anyway, you can help me prepare everything on joining the inner sect. Just like how you helped me settle in this place.
Especially with the Silver and Gold cards, now that I have become an inner sect member. I know I ought to be obtaining those. You understand those nooks and crannies well, don’t you…” Zeras asked with confidence as Kenji puffed out his chest.
“Give me until tomorrow morning, boss. Everything will be settled before then…” Kenji said with more than surety as Zeras nodded, before immediately taking to the sky and disappearing into the distance.
With a gleam in his eyes, Kenji watched as Zeras rapidly disappeared into the distance. Soon, a roll of tears dripped down from his right and left eyes.
“Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!”

“BLEEERGHHHH”
A massive amount of blood burst out of Zeras’ mouth, spewing into the flowing stream, quickly painting it a color of gore, as strange vein-like venoms twisted all over his face, making him look like some sort of hideous monster.
Some parts of his veins could be seen having torn out from his skin, causing more drops to roll down his body.
“Tch, shit!” He cursed with disgust, as blood dripped down his entire body, and he looked at his own pathetic form with disgust. He ahd just defeated three of hiss opponents, yet he was also now looking even more pathetic as them.
“I really need to get my hands on the Third Star Body as fast as possible. My body is collapsing from the energy within me. And I just had to be forced to push things beyond normal today…” Zeras mused to himself, as he turned to the side, where he could see Fluffy looking at him worriedly…
