Chapter 173 The Missing Eye
At the 18th round of the competition, the days passed until the fifteenth day, five bracelets fell into the sky, five children received them without fighting each other. The time passed until the seventeenth day, Eden who was sitting looking at the sky, "Alright, what should I do? Where should I find another team?" Eden started walking around until night. Eden sat down and was about to sleep, he felt the magical power in front of him. Eden quickly opened his eyes in shock, saw a light eye in front of him appear, staring at Eden, larger than Eden, floating in mid-air, looking down at Eden who was leaning against a tree. Eden smiled, "Golden eyes, huh?" "Oh, shit. What is this? It's definitely magic, but how did it do it? There was no reaction from the magic user. Don't tell me the user has the ability to create long-range attacks, but this eye doesn't attack or can't attack. There's a high chance of it, but why did it appear? More importantly, it seems like it was created without any connection points. Or is it natural magic power? »
Eden smiled and welcomed the eyes of light that stared at him, wary of the surrounding attacks. Eden stared until almost midnight. Eden smiled and sat still. «I will give up this round of staring contest. You win. In the end, what exactly are you going to do with this eye?» Eden prepared to run away at high speed because he did not know what the eye in front of him would do. Eden was about to run when he heard footsteps walking towards him from the front. There was the sound of a cane knocking along the footsteps. It was not very loud and not too soft. Thu, thud, thud, thud, thud. Eden looked towards the sound with caution, preparing to launch an attack if anything happened. The eyes of light disappeared at high speed. A woman wearing a blindfold walked straight towards Eden without rushing. She had an indifferent expression. She carried a pitch-black cane to support herself. It was Mariana who walked straight towards Eden without rushing and stopped in front of Eden. Thu
Eden smiled. «Alright, the black ring kid. It's bad luck. He dared to walk straight towards me like this. He was very confident in his skills. The eyes of light just now must be this kid's magic. I can smell the danger around this kid... That's all I can say, but it's not an exaggeration to think that this kid is another monster. » Aiden raised his right hand to greet. "Yo, what are you doing here?" Aiden greeted to get close. Mariana, who had stopped in front of Aiden, slowly sat down on the floor with ease and without any urgency, turning to Aiden. "I just have something important that I want to talk about. Are you interested in listening?" Mariana wanted to talk to Aiden.
Aiden looked at him with doubt but nodded. "Business? If I remember correctly, we just met or are you an acquaintance of the two kids I eliminated? No, or is it one of the kids I let go? Also, what is this important business? Don't tell me you want me to surrender in this round of the competition." While Aiden was guessing randomly, "Come on." Aiden smiled in welcome. Mariana nodded. "First of all, my name is Mariana. Please take care of me." Mariana introduced herself. Aden nodded. "As for me, my name is Aiden." "Then, let's get to the point. "Are you interested in joining forces to escape from here, Eden?" Mariana asked Eden with a straight face.
Eden looked at him with a shocked expression but smiled to prevent others from guessing the exit. "What did you say...!? Are there still people who want to escape like us? I completely forgot that we need to create a team to escape. But before we could create one, there was a fight scene before I could invite anyone, so it turned out like this. I completely forgot. Because of the symptoms from encountering only those monsters, I forgot another important thing. Or did a kid tell Mariana that I was interested? It's quite possible." "Escape? Is it really possible? More importantly, you invited a stranger like me. It's strange, why did you invite me?" Eden asked Mariana why she invited herself to ask if there might be someone she knows who invited her.
Mariana nodded. "First of all, will it really work? I can't guarantee that it will work or not. And the reason I invited you is because I know you. So I invited you because I trust you." Eden nodded. "That's how it is. "I don't understand at all. Plus, he knows us and trusts us. If I remember wrongly, he only made enemies in the past. He probably didn't make more than ten friends and build that much trust. It's suspicious. What should I do? Should I just escape? The speed is still enough to escape. » Aiden hesitated and was about to use his proud speed to escape. Mariana put the black cane on the ground and used both hands to grab the blindfold.
Aiden looked and prepared to attack because Mariana had a movement that might be an enemy. «The opportunity to attack has come. Let's open it. Don't think that you'll be able to open it first. » Aiden prepared to open it first. Mariana spoke up. "Don't laugh and don't be afraid of my eyes. This is my way of showing sincerity." Aiden immediately stopped his hand when he heard Mariana asking him not to laugh at herself. Mariana took off the blindfold while closing her eyes. Aiden thought that this was Odas, the enemy's eyes were closed, and could attack. Mariana slowly opened her eyes and opened them for Aiden to see. "These are my eyes." Aiden looked at them with extreme shock but didn't show it. "These are pitch-black eyes, as if they have no eyes inside. Now I understand why they need to be covered. Huh? There are no eyes!? What do you use to see them?" There were no eyes inside Mariana's eyes, only two pitch-black emptiness. Aiden nodded. "You can cover them now. You don't want anyone to see, do you?" "It's not like you're going to kill me because you saw your eyes. There are abnormal children who think this way. Anyone who dares to see under the blindfold will surely die. They wouldn't be that crazy."
Mariana nodded and put the blindfold back on her eyes. "Then, Eden, do you have any questions? You seem curious. Ask anything you want. For example, how can I see with these eyes? I can tell you everything." Mariana smiled at Eden a little. Eden smiled back. "That's great. It's right on point. Because it's so strange. If you can't see, how can you do it? Even though you're a Black Ring kid, if you can fight with your eyes closed, if you can do that, the strongest position right now definitely won't be Sister. If you can't see, how did you survive?" "If you can tell, that's great. But if you can't tell, that's okay."
Mariana nodded. "Then, this is my zero-level ability. The name I set is All-Things Eyes. It's the ability to perceive the shape of everything or anything I want to see in range." Eden smiled without showing any surprise, but his heart was beating very fast. "Hey, hey, hey… You can see everything? That's crazy. This is the ultimate cheat. If you can see everything like this, it means you know where others are or even the most interesting thing is the outside world. It means that the light eyes that appear in front of you are created from the distance you can see. It's the best. I want this kind of magic so much. Show it off, Mariana. I can't even create level zero yet. But if it's true...» Aiden was jealous that Mariana's magic was so great and Aiden's heart beat with excitement.
Aiden smiled with excitement like never before. "Wow, it's such a great magic. Then I have a question. If Mariana can really see everything, can you guess how I, the one you know, wanted to join hands last time? "Aiden was still skeptical and didn't want to believe it completely. "You lost last time, Mariana pointed at her heart. "You got pierced by a beam of light and it was the right decision to give up with speed or you would have definitely died. "Aiden heard the answer and nodded with great satisfaction. "Then what do you want my cooperation for? You came here because you wanted someone to help, right?
Mariana paused for a moment and opened her mouth, "I want you to be the leader of the escape. I have almost all the information that I can tell. I want you to be the leader of the escape." Eden shook his head, "Me? No, it should be you who is the leader of the escape." Mariana smiled, "Then I will be the team leader. But there is one thing I want to ask." Eden looked very suspicious, "This kid is a little unpredictable. He thought that he would use me as the leader. If he made a mistake, I would die first, but he was wrong. I am starting to wonder what the request would be if he was not the leader of the escape."
"Sure, let me think about it first if it is good." Mariana bowed her head and thanked Eden for helping. "Thank you very much. My request is, can you be my other eye?" Eden was extremely confused, "Eyes? What do I have to do?" "Then what duty do I have to perform?" "Because I can't see the range that my eyes can see, I have to use a special method. Your duty is very simple, just eliminate the threat in front of me. Because of the dangers that are invisible to the naked eye, I will eliminate them myself. If this round of competition ends, you just need to train and become stronger. Because right now, among all the Black Ring children, you are the weakest. So, I need to train and become stronger because I know you. Become stronger to eliminate the threats in front of you. The enemies we have to fight are not just Black Ring children. If you don't try any harder, the goal you want will disappear.
