The Immortal Player

Chapter 60: Truth about the 'gods' eyes' !

"No worries! No worries, Madame! I intended to give you this, In return for accepting me as your apprentice! To be honest, days ago, I was just a nobody with no future! Fortunately, I have encountered you and tried my luck to learn skill making! To my surprise... I didn't only learn a rare talent but I also became a part of the crew of the rumored Sword Ship!"

'Phew!' Pedro sighed as he looked like someone who had just answered an interview skillfully.

"Give? To me? Do you even know its value?" Madame Soledad was astounded to Pedro's words. He looked like a kid giving a bar of gold to an elder like it was just candy.

"Seeing how you react... Its value might be way more than what I could imagine! Hence, this... even solidifies my resolve to give this book to you! If it was left to my hands... I can't imagine what tragedies and misfortunes would come after me!"

'Come on! Just take it! I'm starting to run out of words!' He frowned inwardly as he wanted to avoid any further question and answer portion.

"Hmm..." Alivia had a doubted look as Madame Soledad walk towards Pedro.

"Then... Tell me! Is there any item with the same value that you possess?" Madame Soledad's black eyes stared directly to Pedro's eyes as she took the book.

"Uhm... Uhm..."

"Hmm?"

"Uhm... There... There is!" Pedro's mouth seemed to have a life of its own and answered Madame Soledad's question by itself.

"Let me see it!"

'What the heck! Why is my hand moving on its own?! Stop! Stop!' He tried to stop his hands who was moving on its own, to no avail. It grabbed the cylindrical container with the black eyeballs in it.

"..." Madame Soledad was astounded and speechless as if a god was standing right in front of her.

"Oh! My! God!" Alivia was also astounded to the point that her eyes looked like they were about to pop out from their sockets.

"What's the matter? Is it too gory to see a pair of eyeballs for you? Khe!" Kentaro mocked Alivia as he didn't know the true value and power the eyeballs hold.

"You!" Alivia stared daggers to Kentaro. He did not know anything about gods' eye as Madame Soledad's gods' eye was only known by her and Madame Soledad herself.

'Dang! I'm dead! They saw the 'gods' eye'! Dang! Dang! Dang!' Pedro cursed inwardly as he grasps the cylindrical container in his hand.

"I..." He wanted to try to bluff his way out... but... the NPCs in front of him is way too strong for him to mess around and lie. 'I should have not taken the book out!'

'Calm down, Soledad! Calm down!'

"Since, It has gotten to this... Then let me educate you a little! That eyeballs in that container are not the eyeballs of an ordinary creature!" She explained as her eyes remained black and an intense dark aura escapes from her body. The aura gets more intense, each second that pass until it became so thick that Madam Soledad resembled a black demonic figure.

"Ordinary creature?" Kentaro wore a grim smile as he fully unsheathed his golden katana from its scabbard. Alivia, at the same time, was covered with a thick pink aura as his hands wore a golden pink aura like boxing gloves.

'Haha... I feel like... if I move even a millimeter... It would instantly cause my death! Senior Alivia and Senior Kentaro's aura and killing intent were like an elephant staring at an ant wanting to crush it so bad. While... Madame Soledad's aura... is like... you are... in front of the demon, itself!' Pedro wore a grim look deep inside as he was being overwhelmed by the magical energy he felt from the three.

"Should I say lower life form?" Madame Soledad smirked as she mocked Kentaro with a demonic voice.

"Those eyeballs belong to the gods who fall into evil! They were called... Demons!"

"???"

"..."

Kentaro and Pedro were confused to what Madame Soledad said as they try to contemplate what she just said.

"Historic records say that some Humans in the early days found the tomb of a 'Demon'. In it... lays its corpse... and a pair of eyeballs! It was rumored that they were considered as cursed items as humans try to bury or place them somewhere far. But for a blind human... It is a blessing!" Madame Soledad sighed as she held her hand to her forehead. "Let me tell you my story! The monster siege that destroyed our village intensified my will to help and protect those helpless villages. Hence, at an early age, I choose the path of being an adventurer."

"Together with a group of ten adventurers, we roam around the northern continent and help villages who faced attacks from monsters. Until one day... an unprecedented flock of mutated carnivore birds attacked."

"One by one, every villager was being sliced down by its claws into half. It was a gore scene for me as a new adventurer. As a result, I spaced out! The moment I spaced out, a mutated bird aimed for me... Arsel... Arsel, a fellow adventurer, saved me by pushing me aside. He... He was cut into half right in front of me! Although... He pushed me... My eyes... were reached by the bird's claws! At that moment, I became unconscious..."

"After a seemingly long sleep, I waked up inside a cave... besides a woman (who looked like a mummy without the wrap) and beside her was an empty cylindrical container... like that!" She pointed to the container in his hands as all of their gazes shifted to it.

"Is your vision back? The dried woman asked me as I replied a nod... She smiled back and said that she was glad that I didn't end up being blind... thanks to the demon's eyes that she placed in me! Later on... After a countless amount of research, I learned that the demon eyes can be infused to replace a blind man's eye, This is where I met Alivia. However, It required huge magical energy to infuse it. Demon eyes wielder can easily fuse it... but... to ordinary humans... It would suck up all their magical energy to death."

"Well... If the proper fusing was done! If not... It would only make ordinary humans be in a weakened state for some days... but, the power of the demon they inherit doesn't even match to one percent of the demon's true power!"

'One percent?!' Kentaro was astounded to the point that his jaw dropped to the ground.

'One percent? Then... the power the players had in my past life... was just... one... percent?! Then... Just how powerful Madame Soledad is? Nevermind that... How powerful is a god?' Pedro can't help but wore a grim face as he stares at the container in his hand.

"Now! You know its true value! Aren't you scared that I would kill you for that godly treasure you are holding?" Madame Soledad threatened in a deep voice as she smirked towards Pedro.
