Chapter 39: The First Challenger

The Eye of the Dead has covered the entire city of Dimor, and is gradually extending into the Diemore wild, if left unchecked, sooner or later the Eye of the Dead will cover the entire Dimore area.

The streets of the city were empty, but there was a figure standing in the central square of Dimor. Dvoga, the commander of the Demon Clan, was ordered by the Demon King Sark to come and fight the Eye of the Dead.

"Well, it seems to be the beginning." Atfansky looked at Dvoga with interest, as if expecting whether he would be able to defeat the Eye of the Dead, and what kind of punishment the Eye of the Dead would inflict on the challenger.

Xiora put the crystal ball she brought with her when she went out on the table, and through the picture reflected by the crystal ball, the two of them could clearly see the situation on Devoga's side at this time, it was really like watching a play.

"Do you think Dvoga can win?" Atfans asked, taking himself completely as a bystander.

"I said that only you can defeat the Eye of the Dead, and I won't lie to you." Sheola responded immediately, and judging by her serious expression, she wasn't joking.

Atfans shrugged and turned his head to look at Dvoga, who was slowly flying towards the Eye of the Dead with the help of a flying mage.

(It's true that I might have been terrified of the incredible energy of the Eye of the Dead before, but now, with the intensity of energy I can sense, I'm sure I can overcome both the Eye of the Dead and Dvoga.) )

Thinking of this, Artevans couldn't help frowning, his transformation seemed a little unnatural, and even unrealistic. After he was defeated by Anten, to the time he woke up, what happened, there seemed to be a pair of invisible hands behind him.

In addition to the fact that Artevans took the initiative to absorb other energies, there were two times when he woke up again after losing consciousness and found that his strength had been inexplicably improved.

Now, more and more, he felt as if he was in the hands of an unknown force.

"Mr. Artevans, please take a good look and see how this Eye of the Dead, which will be defeated by your own hands, fights." Sheola's voice pulled Artevans' thoughts back.

After a moment of gathering his thoughts, Artevans focused entirely on the image reflected by the crystal ball.

————————————

In the sky above the city of Dimore, Dvoga flew to the eye of the dead with the help of a flying magic weapon. He carried his halberd and stared cautiously at the behemoth in front of him.

The Eye of the Dead noticed Dvoga's arrival, and its huge pupils focused on Dvoga, and the outer contours of his eyes began to overflow with an unsettling aura.

Moments later, countless tentacles emerged from behind the eye sockets of the Dead, and spikes like fangs grew from the sockets. The pupils of his eyes cracked, and a wriggling black object like a tongue emerged, licking around the pupils. In this situation, it seems as if the original position of the pupil has become a sucker of an alien worm.

The Eye of the Dead has grown in a strange appearance, threatening to devour Dvoga.

Faced with the countless tentacles stretching out from all directions, Dvoga's expression was a little solemn, and after looking around, he pointed his halberd at the ground.

"O earth, give me strength." With a low groan, the ground of the Plaza in Dimor City cracked, and several pieces of rubble the size of Dvoga floated to Dvoga's side.

The rubble surrounded Dvoga, forming a solid shield, and some of the flying tentacles were blocked by the rubble, while others were cut off by Dvoga's halberd.

However, the Eye of the Dead immediately responded, and sharp thorns grew out of the broken tentacles.

Dvoga frowned, and his left hand unfolded the magic circle, and the rubble was affected by the magic and began to grow larger, and finally the pieces of rubble were connected into a hard stone wall.

The mutated tentacles stabbed frantically against the stone wall, causing one tremor after another. Cracks appeared in the stone wall under the fierce onslaught, and it couldn't last long.

Originally, this stone wall was indeed able to block powerful attacks on the ground, but fighting in the air was very uncomfortable for Dvoga, who was a land demon, and he could only exert all his power when he was on the ground. Therefore, the strength of the stone wall has also become a little vulnerable in front of the Eye of the Dead due to the weakening of Dvoga's strength.

Dvoga gritted his teeth and pondered how to deal with this huge enemy.

"No, I can't lose......

Dvoga knows exactly what his failure will be, and he has seen what happened in Trier. Even if he is in the air where he can't play to his advantage, he has to do his best to fight.

But Sack gave himself the order not to fight to the death.

"Your Highness, I may have to disobey your orders!" Dvo knew that if he didn't give it his all, he would only be defeated by the attacks of these countless tentacles, and he was not willing to fail.

Then, the momentum on Dvoga's body suddenly rose, and only a red light was seen in his eyes, and he could no longer see the appearance of his pupils. The bulging muscles gradually turned earthy colors, and an extra pair of arms grew on the back.

Dvoga's four arms were raised at the same time, opening their palms towards the Eye of the Dead.

At this moment, the stone wall could no longer withstand the attack of the tentacles, and collapsed with a bang, and the tentacles rushed to Dvoga, intending to tear him to pieces.

But before the tentacles could touch Dvoga, an invisible force lifted them up and stabbed towards the main body.

————————————

"Obviously, I told Your Majesty not to let the Devoga people fight to the death, and it seems that the Devoga people are not willing to accept defeat." Seeing Devoga's appearance at this time, Xiora shook her head helplessly.

"But with this momentum, there might be a chance." Atvance's eyes widened, a hint of pleasure on his face, anticipating what would happen next.

"Yes, then it might disappoint you." Theola looked coldly at the figure of Dvoga in the picture reflected by the crystal ball, "I can guarantee that even if the Dvoga people use the ground burial form, they will be defeated."

……

"Uhhh!!!!!!hh

Dvoga in the form of a ground burial seems to have the ability to manipulate these tentacles, and the tentacles that should have flocked to him are driven by a powerful force, lifted up, and pierced the body of the Eye of the Dead.

The Underground Burial Form is a state that the Earth Demon enters when it exerts its abilities to the extreme, in which the Earth Demon's final ability, "Gravity Manipulation", will be activated.

With the city of Dimore beneath his feet, Dvoga could not use his ability to drag the Eye of the Dead to the ground, and could only manipulate gravity to make these tentacles, in turn, his own weapons.

Just as the tentacles stabbed towards the body of the Eye of the Dead, the part of the pupil that was split like a worm sucker suddenly expanded, engulfing all the tentacles.

No matter how much Dvoga tried to mobilize his strength, he couldn't make the tentacles go any further.

But I saw that the suction cup suddenly contracted violently, and all the tentacles were crushed, and the part of the tentacles that had not entered the suction cup was swallowed by the body, and then the suction cup slowly retracted.

Blood-red fluid flowed from the tentacles and dripped onto Dvoga's body.

After feeling a sharp pain, Dvoga realized the danger of the liquid, and he drove his back arm to condense a wall of dirt out of thin air.

However, it didn't seem to work, and the earthen walls were quickly corrupted by the liquid.

(Well, use gravity again!) )

Dvoga lifted all four arms up again, turning gravity against him. The liquid left behind by the tentacles also flew towards the Eye of the Dead in a reversal of gravity.

However, Dvoga felt that it might not have any desired effect, but the main purpose was to prevent the corrosive liquid from dripping into the city of Dimor.

"Devoga, if you do that, the winner will be decided." Seeing this scene, Xiola showed a subtle expression and said softly.

The Eye of the Dead didn't react, absorbing all of the liquid that Dvoga had bounced back from the gravity reversal.

Immediately afterward, the Eyes of the Dead began to shake violently and emitted strange cries, like the cry of a baby.

"What?" Although Dvoga had experienced the last attack of the Eye of the Dead, he had never seen such a phenomenon, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

But Dvoga then felt a familiar but dangerous aura emanating from the Eye of the Dead, and it was then that he realized that he had been tricked.

The Eye of the Dead emitted a burst of light that shone on Dvoga, and this light was a declaration of Dvoga's defeat.

For a moment, Dvoga felt a violent pressure, which was none other than the force of gravity reversal that he had just cast. And the power that Dvoga felt at this time was even stronger than what he had just exerted.

Dvoga only resisted for less than a few seconds, and the "Ground Burial Form" was forced to lift due to the great force, and the momentum on his body disappeared immediately. Also because of the lifting of the state, Dvoga could no longer withstand the pressure of this intensity, and fell to the ground, smashing a large crater.

Not only does this mean that Dvoga is defeated, but it also means that the Eye of the Dead will activate its effects, destroying an area within its reach.

With its eyes rolling, the Eye of the Dead looked at the covered city of Dimor, eventually locking its gaze on a bungalow near the Traveler's Cave where Artevans was.

Without warning, the bungalows turned to powder out of thin air, leaving an empty space as if they had never existed.

Dvoga struggled to his feet, looked at the destroyed area, slammed his fist on the ground in anger, and roared unwillingly. His blown hair and tiny scars made him look a little embarrassed.

Ivor appeared next to Dvoga at some point, leaned down, and patted Dvoga's shoulder, "Don't blame yourself, it's not the end of the world."

"But what else can we do to deal with such a monster?" Dvoga grabbed his hair, self-blame, unwillingness, and anger all came to his heart for a while.

"There's still me here, as long as His Highness the Demon King gives an order, I'll fight that monster." Ive's tone was calm, but his angry eyes were bloodshot and his fists were clenched tighter......
