Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 618 - Chapter 618 Chapter 541 Hundred Eyes - Part 2

Chapter 618: Chapter 541 Hundred Eyes – Part 2 Chapter 618: Chapter 541 Hundred Eyes – Part 2 Eerie information transmitted through the eyes, Roger clenched his fist, incinerating the pulled out eye into flying ash.

His expression turned fierce.

“We should leave this place quickly, this creature is unkillable, and sometimes its birth doesn’t even require a host; a strong thought in one’s mind can provide it an opportunity to invade,” he said.

“If this continues, even you could be affected by it.”

The first monster Roger encountered upon arriving in Everworld had given him an incredibly hard time.

It wasn’t simply about overpowering strength, but that kind of bizarre, twisted ability made him feel like he had no outlet for his power.

He had originally thought that with Fourth Tier strength coupled with an extremely fast growth rate, he could sweep through everything, but the first monster from Everworld he faced made him deeply sense the malice of this world.

“You really think I have no way to deal with you?”

An idea emerged in his mind, and Roger scoffed.

The next second, he advanced instead of retreating.

“Come back, don’t be influenced by it!”

Yukiko shouted loudly.

The monster’s abilities were indeed bizarre in form, but, at the same time, Roger also realized something; many abilities have strange and countless forms, yet some things remain fundamental despite all changes.

His hands ignited with flames, and under the control of the Flame Affinity ability, the fire spouted forth by the Igni Dharma Seal were at Roger’s command.

Flames spread across his body, enveloping him entirely.

Thus, no matter how strange the Hundred-Eyes Monster was, it couldn’t penetrate the surface defense and stick to Roger.

Immediately after, a purple glow blossomed under his feet.

[Aden]

“Hundred-Eyes Monster, a thousand eyes, a thousand desires, let’s see how you deal with the conflicts coming from within!” he declared.

The next second, the power of the Dharma Seal exploded, and Roger’s hands danced, shaping the fire he controlled into a closed ring, faintly encompassing the area shrouded by the Aden Dharma Seal.

At first, the Hundred-Eyes Monster showed no reaction, but soon the eyes that emerged on its body began to whirl and twirl chaotically.

“Ah… what an amazing feeling.”

“Kill, kill, kill!”

“Shouldn’t I be the only one controlling this body?”

“Haha, so many beauties.”

The eyes that surfaced on its body began to riot, each eye brimming with a light of desire, and soon all the eyes started to rub against, collide, and even devour one another.

A small part seemed to realize the anomaly and actively detached to fly outward, but as soon as they escaped the area of the Dharma Seal, the approaching flames incinerated any fleeing eyes.

Madness, curses.

It didn’t take long for only a single, isolated eye to remain in the area shrouded by the Dharma Seal.

An eye that seemed somewhat familiar to Roger.

“Still not giving up?” Roger sneered.

“To influence Aoki-kun, you had to inject your essence into his body while he was severely injured; seems like when the power levels differ too much, your methods are somewhat powerless,” he said.

In one second, hundreds of emotions surged through the floating eye, perhaps those of all the eyes it had ever devoured.

In the end, with a pop,

The floating eye burst, and the scattering fluids, before even hitting the ground, were enveloped by the sweeping flames.

After the flames burned through, something fell to the ground from midair.

Roger walked forward as Yukiko’s surprised voice came from behind him.

“My grandfather was actually telling the truth,” she said.

“If one can thoroughly eliminate a Hundred-Eyes Monster, then you can obtain its residual essence after it dies.”

“The Hundred Eyes Stone.”

“What use is this thing?” Roger looked at the stone lying on the ground, his palm wrapped in a layer of flames, picking it up and noticing not only was its resistance to fire extremely high, but so was its hardness.

“A rare material for forging that can be applied to many things.”

“If a master craftsman were to act and incorporate it into a weapon, it might even have a chance to achieve a Breakthrough effect.”

“Breakthrough?”

Senka suddenly interjected.

“Similar to the Heart’s Eye in the practice of swordsmanship.”

“Correspondingly, it’s as if the weapon comes to life, making it easier in combat to spot an opponent’s weaknesses and gaps in the distribution of Spiritual Power.”

“It’s a very powerful ability.” She glanced at Yukiko, “But I didn’t expect Mr. Michihiro Morita to truly be able to successfully incorporate this into a weapon.”

Roger nodded, understanding from just a few words Michihiro Morita’s capabilities in the field of forging; even though the stone might not be of use to him personally, it would be excellent for forging weapons for others, trading, or even just collecting.

Roger casually tossed it; as it fell, his wrist flipped, and the Hundred Eyes Stone was directly placed into the Storage Box through the shadows.

Just then, a groan sounded from the ground, and Aoki Kazuo, who had been unconscious, awoke in pain.

“Ah… It hurts so much!”

Upon seeing a bloody hole at the base of his thigh, Aoki Kazuo’s face turned pale with fright. He quickly took out a Talisman, Spiritual Power surged through him, and then he slapped it onto the wound.

Green light twined around, and the injury on Aoki Kazuo’s leg also began to heal.

Roger noticed that although Aoki Kazuo’s direct participation in combat was not particularly strong, his abilities were quite outstanding in all respects, without any evident weak points.

From this perspective, this so-called Aoki Shrine must have a very strong heritage.

What level is Divine Master Aoki then?

“Where are we?”

After dealing with his injuries, Aoki Kazuo looked around, seemingly puzzled.

“Strange, I seem to remember seeing someone just now.”

“A woman, right?” Yukiko said with an odd smile as she suddenly emerged.

“Uh…”

Aoki Kazuo quickly glanced at Higurashi Senka and stayed silent.

“Actually, you did faint, and indeed you saw a woman.”

“Here…”

Yukiko nudged her chin.

“Aoki-kun.”

Her voice was warm, but her face lacked any hint of enthusiasm.

“I saw everything that just happened very clearly. Come on, let me recount it for you in detail.”

“Miss… I don’t think there’s any need, is there?” Aoki Kazuo hesitated.

“Why wouldn’t there be?”

“I love telling stories to others.”

Without another word, she pulled Aoki Kazuo and started walking toward a spot not far away.

This Yukiko…

Roger nodded, then turned his gaze to Higurashi Senka beside the big tree.

Higurashi Senka’s face was calm, but the emotions swirling in her eyes betrayed her thoughts.

Yukiko deliberately took Aoki Kazuo away to create a moment alone for Roger and Higurashi Senka.

She was a clever girl. Through her, Roger became more expectant of Michihiro Morita.

Because of the sudden appearance of Uchiyama Mamoru, things had slid in an unknown direction.

Coming from the Western World, with powers far surpassing the usual Onmyoji families, and with Uma, who had a Western face, all the issues converged, making it remarkable that Higurashi Senka had managed to stay silent up to this point.

Her breath became more rapid as she looked at Roger.

She thought of the many times they had met, her so-called protection, her guidance in swordsmanship.

And Roger’s concealment and…

His motives.

In an instant, numerous thoughts flooded her mind–doubt, secrecy, betrayal, utilization.

Her expression became increasingly complicated. Roger was about to speak when Higurashi Senka suddenly interrupted him.

“Are you a Transcendent from the Western World?”

Higurashi Senka asked softly.

“Yes,” Roger nodded.

“Did you approach me… because of Yukiko?”

She tried to keep her voice steady, but the quivering of its tail end betrayed Higurashi Senka’s feelings.

It wasn’t about romance; Higurashi Senka rarely encountered anyone with a talent for swordsmanship that exceeded hers. Though she had known Roger for only a short time, he had brought her a sense of relaxation and…

Joy.

Also, nobody likes being used.

“No,” Roger shook his head.

“I did come to Sunrise precisely to find Mr. Michihiro Morita, as I need to reforge a weapon,” Roger explained.

“But meeting you was truly accidental.”

“Besides…”

“Alright, no more talk,” Higurashi Senka suddenly cut him off, turning to walk in the direction where Yukiko and Aoki Kazuo had left.

“This place is too dangerous. We need to find a populated area as soon as possible.”

“You…”

Higurashi Senka’s decisiveness left many of Roger’s prepared words stuck in his throat.

“Don’t you have any other questions?” Roger asked.

“Do I need to?” Higurashi Senka turned and looked at Roger.

“You’re not using me, you won’t harm Yukiko.”

“Knowing these two things is enough.”

She pursed her lips.

“As for who you are.”

Her gaze was resolute.

“Your sword has already told me.”
