Chapter 38: The Eye of the Dead

Hell, a plane where there is never daylight, the sky is always as red as the sunset below the horizon, reddish but dim.

Dimore City, the central city of the demons, was shrouded in an even bleaker shadow by a huge eye that suddenly appeared in the sky.

This huge eye, like a god descending here, gazed at the world he had created with his perceptive eyes. But is this eye the wise gaze of a god, or the enemy's declaration of destruction?

The answer is obvious. This eye, exuding an ominous aura, the entire city of Dimor, is covered by it.

The inhabitants of the city had already taken refuge in their homes when they saw the huge eye, praying silently.

"Eye of the Dead, I didn't expect the Necronomicon to use this." Sheola looked through the window into the huge eyes, and her calm face revealed a hint of solemnity.

"Eyes of the Dead? What's that?' Artevans could sense the dangerous energy in this eye, but he knew very little about the Necromancy.

"A technique formed by sacrificing several mothers and all the spirits connected to them, combined with a large number of other low-level spirits. It's a very dangerous procedure.' Sheola seemed less anxious, sat down, and patiently explained to Artevans.

However, judging by the puzzled look on Artfans' face, Sheola knew that she needed to explain it to him in detail.

"Originally from the underworld, the Necronomicon is a race with an absolute concentration of will, with a distinct structure. The source of energy for the life of the Necronomicon is all the dead lives in the main realm, and when the souls of these beings enter the reincarnation of the World Tower, the remaining energy will go to the Necromancy."

"The ones responsible for collecting energy and giving birth to individuals of the race are known as necromantic mothers, and each mother splits from its own body to give birth to higher, intermediate, and lower spirits. The consciousness of each spirit is connected to the mother, and at the same time, it is also connected to some of the higher spirits produced by the mother, and some of the higher spirits have autonomous consciousness, but always follow the will of the mother."

"A small group of high-level spirits can mutate into individuals with different functions and forms through their own consciousness and according to their needs, and have absolute volitional dominance over the intermediate and low-level spirits under the same parent body, and these high-level spirits are called generals. At the same time, this part of the necromancer is able to break free from the bondage of the mother body and move freely.

"Intermediate spirits obey the will of high-level spirits and can mutate into individuals with combat ability, and the necromantic soldiers you usually see are middle-level spirits. The low-level spirits are completely consumable, as each mother can give birth to hundreds of low-level spirits in varying numbers in a week, and these low-level spirits are usually used as food or tools for battle.

"No spirit may disobey the will of the Mother, even a high-level spirit with an autonomous consciousness. However, not all mothers can give birth to advanced spirits, and not every high-level spirit can successfully become self-conscious and mutate."

"And the Eye of the Dead, because the price paid is extremely high, it needs the unanimous recognition of the mother to activate."

Theola's explanation made Artevans understand a lot in an instant, but since this was the case, Artevans had a new question, "Since the mother body is the existence of the supreme will, what kind of existence is the Necromantic King?"

"The Necromantic King is the consciousness spokesperson of the common will of all mothers, and is essentially a high-level spirit, but it is very special, with the highest freedom, and can communicate with the mother through autonomous consciousness, and assist the mother body in conveying its will." Sheola seemed to have expected Artevans to ask this, and smiled.

"So how can the will of the mother be unified?"

"The Necrons worship the legendary Mother Goddess who created them, and they hold fast to the will of the legendary Mother Goddess, and each Mother withers and communicates all of its will to the newborn Mother before it dies. In other words, the will of the Necrons is continuous and unified.

After hearing this, Artevans nodded, and Xiola's words made him know a lot about the Necromancy. However, Sheola also seems to know too much about the Necromantic system, which seems to contradict her direct actions.

"As the enemy of the demon race, I, as a strategist, naturally need to know more." Sheola shrugged, as if she had read through Atvance's thoughts.

After the explanation, the two of them focused their eyes on the Eye of the Dead in the sky again. Now, the most important thing is to figure out what to do with the Eye of the Dead.

"Is there a way to crack the Eye of the Dead?" Seeing that Theola didn't seem to be in a hurry, Artevans spoke in a relatively steady tone.

"The Eye of the Dead will not actively attack for a while, it will only wait for those who challenge it, but if the challenger is defeated, the Eye of the Dead will make a random spot in the area of coverage disappear directly. If there is no challenger for a long time, then the Eye of the Dead will destroy everything in the coverage area.'

The reason why Sheola is not in a hurry is not only because she knows the effect of the Eye of the Dead, but also because she also knows that when the Eye of the Dead appears in Dimore City, there will definitely be a challenger.

"So, you want me to be this challenger, don't you?" Atfans understood instantly.

"If you're able to hold your breath, you might as well watch for a while." Sheola smiled meaningfully at Artevans.

"Why can't I hold my breath? But as a demon strategist, can you calm down?" Instead of looking at Sheola, Artevans silently stared at the Eye of the Dead, revealing a slight sneer, as if he was countering Sheola's words.

Artevans knew very well what Sheola's words meant, and even if he didn't make a move, the castle would definitely send troops to deal with it. Dvoga and Ifer, or other powerful ones, will go to fight the Eye of the Dead.

But once they are defeated, the Eye of the Dead will destroy a part of Dimmour. The demons are almost entirely concentrated in Dimor, and destroying a part of it often means that at least hundreds of people will die even in the most optimistic scenario.

And when Sheola, who is a strategist, faces this situation, he can still slowly explain the system of the necromancy to Artevans here almost leisurely, and everything is unhurried.

Sheola's calmness, in Artevans' view, is the embodiment of confidence.

Even the high-level of this demon clan is not nervous, and there is no need for Artevans to worry about it, not to mention that if he really makes a move, he will definitely not be the first.

"What if I said that only you can break the Eye of the Dead?" Siola looked away from Atvance, poured a cup of tea by herself, and sat aside.

(What the hell is she trying to do?) )

Theola's words, deeds and actions did make Artevans a little confused, but considering that the other party did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of civilians to wait for his own action, Artevans would not be too surprised.

"Yes, then I'd like to take a good look to see if only I can break it, as you say." Artevans sat down in a chair next to Theola, and the two of them waited as if they were watching a play, waiting for what would happen next.

Seeing that Artevans was not in a hurry, Rusha also sat on the bed and closed her eyes to recuperate.

"How many challengers can there be at any one time?" As if sensing that the room was too silent, Artevans asked again.

"Infinite, but for each failure, the Eye of the Dead will unleash a destruction." Sheola replied unhurriedly.

"yes, that's really anticipating, what will happen."

Atlence and Sheola looked at each other, smiled in understanding, and said no more.

The current situation is similar to the invasion of the city of Dimor by the Necromantic army, Sheola hinted to Artevans that he needed to intervene, but Artevans was not willing to act immediately, and Sheola did not mind the consequences and waited patiently. Even if the price is paid, it is the lives of fellow demons.

————————————

The appearance of the Eye of the Dead naturally alarmed the castle, and the Demon King Sack knew the effect of the Eye of the Dead, and the Necronomicon had used this trick to rob Trier's territory.

In that incident, the number of demons was cut by nearly half. At that time, Sack directly sent a large army into the air to attack the Eye of the Dead, which was mostly swept away in an instant, and also triggered the effect of the Eye of the Dead, almost leveling Trier to the ground.

That battle also became an eternal shadow in Zack's heart, and since then, the demons have been defeated one after another.

Now, faced with the same situation, Zac hesitated, feeling that no matter what he used, he could not escape the fate of destruction. And at such an important time, Sheola was gone.

"Your Majesty, Lord Sheola asked me to pass this on to you." A demon warlock walked into the palace and handed a scroll to Zac.

Sack took the scroll and opened it, but his brow furrowed and his hands trembled.

"Your Majesty, if the Necrons use the Eye of the Dead, I will look for the best person who can deal with the Eye of the Dead, and until then, please let the Dvoga go into battle alone, no matter what the outcome, they will not fight to the death. If there is no one to fight after the defeat of the Dvogars, they will wait or let General Ivor fight.'

Sack shook the scroll aside, but hesitated for a moment, then silently picked it up again, looking at the plan left by Sheora above, his expression a little complicated.

(Sheola would be taking a risk if she did, but it would have been a good idea for her to ask Dvoga to play first.) If Dvoga is defeated, then I have a reason to weaken his power. It's just that the lives of civilians are the way to make a bet...... )

Zac hesitated, a little difficult to choose between his own power and the lives of civilians.

"Eye of the Dead, the Necronomicon is going to kill them all......" Zac sighed helplessly and took the scroll back.

When the Necronomicon had just arrived in the Underworld, Sark was not afraid to fight them, but it was the appearance of the Eye of the Dead and a mistake by Sark that caused immeasurable damage.

Since then, in order to preserve his strength, but also for his own power, and to protect the remaining civilians, Sack has constantly retreated to avoid fighting, and his spirit is no longer as good as before.

Now, Sheola's plan to stay behind is clearly for Sack to make a choice.

I don't know if Sheola can find the best candidate, waiting for it is like a slow death. Sach paced around the palace, racking his brains as he thought about what to do.

Eventually, he took a deep breath and looked at the warlock, who was still waiting for instructions at the palace door.

"Inform Dvoga and have him fully armed to challenge the Eye of the Dead."
