Chapter 16: New Problem
The authority is possessed by the eye of arrogance.
It was an improvement in 'movement vision'.
Silky, if that was the case, there wouldn't have been an alias called Authority.
Activating the Eye of Arrogance to momentarily stop the opponent's movement.
The activation conditions were as follows.
'To kill the enemy.'
Killing an enemy instantly stops all actions.
It does not stand still, but the body's visual acuity rises tremendously, making it appear 'stopped'.
It will be difficult to use because the power cannot be activated against an enemy who is faster and stronger than the owner.
In a battle against many weaklings, it will be an unprecedented weapon.
If the eye of arrogance is active, the enemy's movement will look like a worm wriggling.
Literally -.
A trait that shows off arrogance, like killing an ant with your finger.
unexpected benefits.
Slowly wicked smile comes on my face, 'It was worth of pain.'
With a wicked smile playing on my lips, I marvelled at the potential this trait held. The ability to halt an opponent's movements with a mere glance – it was a power that promised dominance and control on the battlefield.
But even as I revelled in this newfound strength, a nagging sense of unease lingered in the back of my mind. The Eye of Arrogance was not a gift to be taken lightly – it came with its own set of risks and consequences.
For one, the activation conditions were clear: to use the power, I would need to kill my opponent. It was a stark reminder of the ruthless nature of the demon world, where strength was valued above all else.
And then there was the question of control. Would I be able to wield this power responsibly, or would it consume me, turning me into a ruthless tyrant like the demons I had once written about?
But for now, such concerns could wait. In this moment, all that mattered was the thrill of newfound power and the potential it held.
With a sense of determination, I rose to my feet.
Now the question is how do I get myself out of here?
...And even if got myself here out I'm sure that the Boros family would not let me live.
They would kill me on the spot.
Grrrr-!
"If I leave, I'll die. If I don't leave I will die by starvation."
I muttered to myself as my stomach rumbled, he wants food but sadly I don't have any.
The last time I ate any food was in the human world and since then I haven't eaten anything.
It must be over a week by now, I didn't eat anything in a week.
Because adrenal rush and the sense of danger that lurked around here I didn't feel anything but now I'm getting hungry and I also need water to drink.
I don't how much longer I could hold on but the only way to save myself was to get out of this dungeon and eat something outside.
But that was also a dangerous move.
I'm sure that troops of Boros family must be waiting outside for me and also I have one there price in my hand.
[Eye Of Arrogance.]
As soon as they see my left black eye, then it will be over in an instant for me.
In short, I'm stuck.
'The information paper won't help me either.'
What information paper can offer is only 'information', and it will not directly present a solution to the situation.
"Then, is this is only way?"
I bent my knees and started to run toward the Boros family outside the unexplored dungeon as fast as lightning.
Isn't there a saying that the enemy of an enemy is a friend?
Having to take revenge on the six families, I didn't know if I would fit in well with them.
Well, on second thought, if they heard the information that I am a descendant of the Ashen family, they would kill me right away…
– You bastard, open the door right now!
A hoarse, cracked voice was heard.
When I turned my head towards the place where the voice came from, I saw a Death Knight knocking on the barrier in terror.
Skelton Knight?
It should have destroyed itself while knocking on the barrier because I had deployed a location exchange.
Why is he still alive?
Suddenly, an ominous imagination came to mind.
'if… … .'
If this is a secret place where guardians are regenerated, not a normal intermediate secret.
If it wasn't just the Boros family's unexplored dungeon, but the 'Academy" 's unexplored dungeon for the test.
Everything was explainable.
'Then the guy who is taking the exam right now… … .'
An intruder that makes even the last guardian of the unexplored dungeon and makes even Skelton Knight tremble in fear.
Then this guy must be taking a test here.
"Fuck."
I was under my breath as the situation was turning more complex than before.
The Skelton Knight, who was trapped in the barrier was crying, for a moment I had thought to let this guy free but I shook my head and cast away that thought.
Ignoring Skeleton Knight, I took the paper out of my pocket.
It won't give me a specific answer on how the skeleton Knight comes to life, but it might give me the information I'm looking for.
'The identity of the person closest to me.'
Since the Skeleton Knight was not a living being, it would not be identified as a person.
So the paper has no choice but to spit out the information I want.
『This is information that requires a price. 』
『Please pay an artefact relic grade or higher or a price of 100 gold coins or more. 』
But before that, there was a price to pay.
It's unfortunate. Because my pockets were just blowing dust.
However, if there is no way, it is not.
It was because I had to give something equivalent to the price the paper presented.
[In exchange for 50% of my limit of mana.]
As I scribbled with a fountain pen, the paper seemed to weigh the price I had offered.
Then a few seconds later.
[I judged it to be a sufficient price. 』
『 Taking out 50% of the Creator's limit of mana. 』
After the words are written on the paper.
My shoulders trembled with a strong sense of collapse.
A whopping 50% of mana was permanently thrown away, but it was necessary.
It wasn't easy to increase the limit of mana, but it wasn't too difficult either, so it wasn't a big problem.
After all, as long as I survive here, I will be able to recover enough.
What I desperately needed was information that could help me avoid this situation.
I blinked once and focused on the paper again.
and the words that follow.
I inadvertently swallowed the wind.
『The person closest to the Creator is Rene, the youngest daughter of Cale, the owner of the Boros family. 』
