Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Chapter 1416 The Operation Begins

1416 The Operation Begins

The Eye of the Visitor was a beige eye with the pale symbol of a hook as its pupil. It created webs that fed into the whites of Yuyui's eyes, like roots. When Yuyui first equipped it, she was convinced she wouldn't be able to disable it.

Maybe it was because Suzamete was enhancing its range, but its hold over her was strikingly firm.

Yuyui found the eye to be her least favorite, given what it had been used for in the past. Having it actively try to become a permanent part of her left socket was sickening, to say the least. She weathered through it though. This wasn't about her. It was about saving Aigas.

'Arghh. It's really greedy,' she thought. The eye sapped a lot of her energy at a frightening rate. As the range of the light gushing out of it to attract her target reached further, the amount of her mana consumed doubled.

It had been a while since Yuyui feared the effects of using her eyes. Easily the worst time she had while using them was when she had used the Eye of Dispersal and Eye of Moving to save Skullius and the rest from Jerthrax's breath back then.

Using the eyes had strained her so much she bled from her orifices. But after the hellish training in the Timemould Mirror Box, she was able to handle multiple uses of all her eyes without a hassle.

'I suppose the Eye of the Visitor is just that much stronger, even without Suzamete's augments,' Yuyui thought.

"Wait, it's already on the way?" Grim reeled.

Suzamete turned to him. He shivered. It was like having the sun's attention on you – it was incomprehensible.

And indeed, Yuyui had felt it too. She couldn't see the appearance of the Chronocle Fiend, but she had felt it the instant the pulse from her eye reached the distance Suzamete had mentioned. It didn't take long for the creature to decide it wanted to pay Aigas a visit.

"We shall fly then," said Asthon, and he looked at Jiggorrhax. "You wouldn't mind me taking charge, would you?"

The Herald groaned.

"I would not. I am quite eager to learn about you, old bird," he said.

Grim was startled.

Suzamete had read his thoughts. He turned to her incomprehensible figure.

Grim nodded slowly.

Was it that hard to traverse the void?

Just as he wondered, the infinite sky above them started unraveling, leaving a deep darkness that beckoned them silently overhead.

"That's our cue then," Asthon said and he addressed everyone. "I'd advise getting out of here with your optimal battle characteristics in effect. Get your Dormant Territory ready if you have to."

The guardian beasts immediately prepared. Their Nitros surged at once.

Unfortunately, unlike humans, they couldn't wield Nitros unless they had every intention to activate their Majestic Territory.

Grim, on the other hand, not only reinforced himself with Nitros, but he immediately assumed the first form afforded by his Hidden Class: Avhanar the Voracious.

He quickly became a giant wolven head without a limb in sight. Jiggorrhax gave him an amused look, as did Asthon. The two took the lead in flying out of Suzamete's domain.

Grim followed after them, feeling his confidence rising.

This was it.

His moment to transcend his insecurities had come.
