When Nefarius woke up after dying, he found a third eye implanted in his forehead. He tried to remove it using mana, but there was no way to do so — as if it had been part of his body since birth.
He assumed it was the medium that had revived him, so he decided to leave it be.
But now that the three-eyed being spoke into his mind through that eye, Nefarius realized it also served as a medium for the Three-eyed being to observe him.
That meant the three-eyed being had been watching him from the very start.
Tsk!
Nefarius clicked his tongue. Even he had the pride of a warrior, so it felt unpleasant. But he had to comply, for only with the three-eyed being's help could he reunite with his love.
Right then, the three-eyed being spoke again in Nefarius's head.
- Use the Black Hearts and retreat, quickly.
'!?'
At those words, Nefarius's eyes widened. For the first time, he sensed a trace of fear in the three-eyed being's voice.
