The countless bone blades aimed at him; just this told Angel the other wasn’t friendly.
"I only need to fight."
The moment the words fell, the giant eye seemed to recognize Angel’s attack intent, and without hesitation, released the bone blades like arrows shot from a bowstring, overwhelmingly rushing towards Angel.
Feeling the cold and murderous whistle of the bone blades, a glint of satisfaction appeared in the huge eye.
The bone blade rain would envelop the entire range of this lake, and from its perspective, this human before it was inescapable.
However, soon its gaze froze.
The anticipated killing move did not take effect. All the bone blades stopped as they approached Angel, as if an invisible protective barrier surrounded and defended Angel from all the bone blades.
Seeing this, a hint of black cloud passed through the huge eye: "Transcendent... Are you a Wizard?"
Since it coveted humans, it naturally understood everything here, including Transcendents among humans — Wizards.
However, it remembered that the believers it communicated with were on the edge of the continent, extremely far from the places where Wizards lived.
Why did a Wizard appear here?
Angel: "Let me guess, are you asking why I can withstand your attack? Or are you surprised that I am a Transcendent... a life from the Otherworld?"
When Angel saw the huge eye, a vague suspicion arose in his heart. This eye might not be a native creature.
After all, this was the mirror of the altar, and early on Angel concluded that the object of the farmer’s sacrifice was likely a being from the Otherworld.
Moreover, the language spoken by this enormous eye was emitted at a frequency that humans could hardly produce.
Of course, even at this point, Angel was not completely certain the other party was an Otherworld being. Until he captured a bone blade, the original force within it was something he had never seen before, exuding an aura incompatible with the current age.
Angel had previously felt a similar aura in Jon.
At this point, Angel was able to confirm that this enormous eye was likely the Otherworldly life form worshipped by the group of nobles in Dawn Town.
Just what puzzled Angel was that the Knight order dispatched by the Silver Heron royal family never found any information on the farmer’s object of worship. Instead, he discovered clues within the mirror space created by the Mirror Grudge.
"Being able to fend off the bone blades, this is an Official Wizard... Damn, why would a Wizard appear here?"
Anger flashed in the eyes of the giant. Not only did it feel desecrated, but it burned with rage as it realized it could not defeat Angel in its current form.
The sacrificial ceremony was incomplete, and with only half an eye, it was absolutely no match for an Official Wizard.
Inability to defeat Angel didn’t really matter; this giant eye dying was inconsequential, as it was merely an insignificant wisp of energy... The most crucial matter was that Angel’s appearance meant its existence had been discovered.
Given the Southern Domain Wizard World’s attitude toward Otherworldly beings, it was imaginable that a thorough investigation would surely follow.
It’s likely that it wouldn’t be able to probe the Wizards’ Realm with its tentacles in the short term!
"Damn you, damn it! If you came to my world, I would cut your corpse into countless pieces!"
Yet, all of the giant eye’s cries at this moment, in actuality, held no threat.
Upon discovering this was an Otherworld life form, Angel stopped caring about what it was saying, intent on killing it.
Angel was not a follower of the Extreme Sect’s doctrines and wouldn’t kill an Otherworld life form upon sight, but such beings summoned through evil sacrificial rituals were usually of the Evil God variety, filled with greed and covetousness for the Wizards’ Realm. Against such Otherworld beings, running away was an option if outmatched, but if victory was achievable, extermination was necessary.
With this in mind, Angel slowly extended his hand, pointing his finger toward the gigantic eye.
A great surge of Magic Power whirled around him, a terrifying pressure emanating from his fingertip.
The giant eye was well aware that Angel was preparing to annihilate it directly. It was furious yet helpless; under current circumstances, it had no chance of turning the tide. It could only watch helplessly as terrifying energy gathered upon the slender fingers.
Just as the energy reached its peak, ready to unleash, Angel suddenly paused, his gaze shifting toward the altar ahead.
The giant eye, initially unsure of what was happening, followed its gaze downward... Instantly, its rage exploded.
The Undead that summoned it was actually reversing and devouring its energy!
"Damn you, damn you!"
"Traitor! Blasphemer!"
"I will kill you!"
Faced with the devouring by the Mirror Grudge, the rage of the giant eye was even more intense than when facing Angel. It was already adversaries with Angel, this time merely bad timing, and there would be a chance for revenge next time; however, it and the Mirror Grudge were originally allies, summoned here by it, and alive, it was one of its developed followers.
But now, it was biting back!
It was like a pet dog turning against its owner.
This drove the giant eye’s anger to an unprecedented level!
Yet, under Angel’s oppressive force, its greatest fury was reduced to impotent rage.
The devouring speed of the Mirror Grudge was immense, as the black shadows were originally part of its own body, containing a portion of its energy.
Just like using a straw to suck up water, the Mirror Grudge sucked the enormous black shadow behind it into its belly.
With the disappearance of the giant eye, the Mirror Grudge’s energy level began to surge wildly.
Its form even began to undergo changes.
Originally a simple human form with pale skin and a grim, hideous face. Now, its Soul Body began to undergo alterations, tripling in size, with limbs and head enlarging, the head attached to a corpulent and massive body, and the neck disappeared.
The skin turned from pale white to a ghostly green, even emitting a chilly glow.
Death aura transformed into a tangible black fog, swirling around its surroundings.
This was a phenomenon that appeared when Soul Force overflowed.
Without a doubt, the Mirror Grudge had ascended to a higher energy level!
The leap transition to a higher energy level brought with it not just a surge in power; the Mirror Grudge was also a Special Undead, and the mirror space was its Talent. Now, the control level over the mirror space was markedly enhanced.
Feeling a completely new kind of pressure, Angel’s eyes flashed with realization: "So, this was your purpose all along."
How could an undead possibly trust another?
Even less likely to trust another’s power, even if the other were an Otherworld Wild Deity.
Everything the Mirror Grudge did was from the lingering glow in its remaining memory... backlash, devour, transforming the Otherworld power summoned by the sacrifice into its own, that was its ultimate goal!
