Chapter 369 New Eyes
Chapter 369 New Eyes
"Are we going to use the old man as a hostage to threaten those demon generals?"
"It seems that those demon generals came here just for Grandpa."
"What do you think, Mr. Meese?"
The Asians made suggestions, but Miss did not agree.
Those demon generals obviously did not care about the safety of the blind old man.
Otherwise they wouldn't have attacked the dungeon.
"No, they won't give in."
The subhumans were puzzled, "Aren't they here to rescue this old man?"
The blind old man couldn't help but laugh and said, "Children, from the perspective of those demon generals, they would feel more at ease if I died."
Listening to the old man's gentle tone and looking at his kind face, Miss couldn't tell for a moment whether the old man was a human or a demon.
"So, old man, what is your solution?" asked Miss.
The old man obviously had the idea a long time ago, but he just never said it out loud.
"My method requires you to sacrifice something."
Mis frowned and pointed at himself, "Me?"
The old man nodded slightly. "Yes, the enemies outside are very strong. It is definitely not possible to rely on breakthroughs, and it is even more impossible to negotiate with them. They are demons, and demons are inhumane."
The more Miss listened, the more puzzled he felt. He felt as if the old man was scolding himself.
"Young man, there is only one way out now. If you are willing to sacrifice something, I can guarantee the safety of everyone."
The tone of the old man's voice was like the god of death coming to take one's life, which made people feel cold.
Petra rushed forward and said, "Old man, can you sacrifice me?"
The old man shook his head, "No, it has to be him."
Miss thought the words sounded familiar, and asked, "You're not asking me to sell my soul, are you?"
When making a deal with the devil, the price is often your soul.
The old man laughed, "What a nostalgia! Many years ago, I did like to say things like this."
Mith was puzzled, "So what do you want me to sacrifice?"
The old man put away his smile and his expression became serious.
"Have you decided?"
Miss looked at Petra and thought of Licia who was far away in the central Demon King's Castle.
"If that's really the only way to go, I have no choice."
Due to the bombardment of magic, the room was shaking all the time, as if it might collapse at any time.
The old man asked, "Young man, what is your name?"
Missy replied, "Miss Giles."
The old man slowly raised his wrinkled hand and placed it in front of Miss's eyes.
"Miss Giles, from today on, you will lose your normal life and fall into an endless abyss. You will become an alien in the eyes of your own people and a thorn in the eyes of other peoples. There is no chance for you to turn back."
Miss blinked his eyes and thought: You actually saw through my current situation? So what exactly do I have to sacrifice?
To him, the words coming out of the old man's mouth sounded as if he had sacrificed nothing.
Suddenly, a purple magic circle appeared in front of Miss's eyes.
Before he had the time to carefully observe the array pattern above, his eyes went dark and he lost his vision.
The next second, a burning pain spread from my eyes to my whole body.
This feeling of almost breaking apart was countless times more serious than the acclimatization problem he experienced when he first entered the demon world.
Seeing Miss covering his eyes tightly and sweating in pain, Petra and the others suddenly panicked.
"Miss, Miss, how are you?"
"You, what did you do to Lord Mis!"
"Why did Mr. Meese become like this?"
The old man did not answer the subhuman's question, but stared at Miss's reaction.
"After so many years, I didn't expect to have the chance to see you again."
Finally, Miss couldn't bear it anymore, and those two eyeballs rushed out of his eye sockets like beasts in a cage struggling to break free.
Suddenly, the defensive magic used to protect the room collapsed, and darkness enveloped the place once again.
In the instant before the light dissipated, Petra saw Miss's two eyeballs bursting out of his body.
But at that moment, all she saw were two stone beads in the shape of eyeballs.
The unbearable pain confused Mis's brain, and many familiar yet unfamiliar images emerged in his mind.
The most unfamiliar face among them was that of an old man.
The old man was covered in blood, holding a little girl who fell beside him.
Miss didn't remember meeting the old man, but he appeared in his memory.
Pale hair, eyes that glow red, and he seems to be apologizing constantly.
Miss looked at the little girl in the old man's arms, and his brain ached again.
"Nora?"
In the next picture, he only saw the old man's bloody hands reaching out to his eyes, and then the picture disappeared.
Miss held his head with both hands, forcing himself to remember those scenes.
"It turns out that Nora didn't come out of a crack in the stone, and it turns out that my eyes are not original!"
The two stone beads trembled in the air, making a shattering sound.
Under the astonished gaze of the demihumans, the stone beads shattered at the same time, and dazzling red light rushed out through the cracks.
Soon, the whole room was filled with red light, and the outer shell of the stone bead fell off, revealing its original appearance.
Petra looked carefully and found that the two eyeballs were more crystal clear and the eyes were brighter than before.
The blood-red eyes returned to Miss's eye sockets again, instantly merged with Miss, and the red light disappeared.
The old man slowly walked around Miss, came in front of the demihumans, raised his hand and cast a spell, condensing a semicircular magic barrier to lock everyone inside.
As Miss opened his eyes, a rapid magical vibration began to unfold. The moment it came into contact with the old man's magic barrier, the barrier collapsed and shattered.
Affected by the shock of magical power, the old man and the demihumans suddenly felt numb all over and collapsed to the ground like deflated balls.
Mis dragged his trembling body and slowly stood up. He looked around and felt that the whole world was quiet.
The surge of magic power caused by the fight between the demon generals outside has disappeared, and it seems that they have stopped fighting.
"My magic perception seems to be more sensitive."
In this way, Miss's control over magic power will become more precise.
It was a huge improvement for him to draw magic circles and make props.
The room was pitch black, but Miss spotted the people around him out of the corner of his eye.
"I can see at night without any magic? This function is comparable to the magic eye, right? What on earth did the old man do to my eyes?"
He leaned over and tried to pull Petra up, but found that Petra was trembling all over.
The same was true for the other demihumans, even the blind old man.
"What's wrong with you?"
The old man stood up with difficulty, smiling bitterly.
"So this is how it feels, no wonder they don't like it..."
Miss didn't understand what the old man said at all, so he asked, "What's going on?"
After the old man helped the demihumans up one by one, he looked at the cell door.
"You'll know after you get out. Remember not to talk outside."
He gently raised his hand and brushed across his eyes, and two blood-red eyeballs appeared in the empty eye sockets, the same as Miss's.
Miss could tell at a glance that the old man's eyes were disguised by magic and had no effect.
"Go out? Just go out like this?"
The old man smiled confidently and adjusted his clothes to cover the hole in his chest.
"Yes, the trouble has been solved."
