With my newly opened eyes, a huge amount of information poured in.
I felt the weight of death carried by superior beings in my widened field of view.
‘Even if it’s limited to life and death, it’s an eye that can measure superior beings’ existence.’
I was confident of avoiding an attack from the superior beings.
I might even be able to bounce back from death if my energy waves allow it.
‘It’s not just a simple reflection. I can see death with my eyes now.’
For comparison, I could be able to exert power similar to Balor.
I can show someone death just as Balor did to me in England.
Would I be able to kill everything that looks into my eye?
If I use this incorrectly, I could get into big trouble.
There’s no way that the power of the gods of death could be handled easily.
[Do you know what you can do with your strength?]
Princess Sahee, who I saw in the reflection of Glare, asked.
What this power is, and how powerful it is, I know it to some extent.
However, it is impossible to test it right now, so I decided to use the simplest way to check.
Before answering Princess Sahee, I opened my status window to check the skill’s description.
Following the system message, a blue window appeared in front of my eyes.
[Skill Name] Glare of Life and Death
[Rarity] UR
[Skill Level] 1
[Effect] Creates a special phenomenon by gathering energy waves in the eyes.
The will of the gods of death adds power.
[Explanation]
Glare bearing the will of the gods of death.
Can only be used by those who are permitted.
It is similar to the explanation of the regular Glare skill, with a few differences.
Rarity has risen from SSR to UR.
A new effect added by the gods of death.
However, it is still unclear what it can do specifically.
And the skill level caught my attention.
‘It’s level 1 in skill, but I have the ability to show death?’
I felt a chill.
If the level rises, I might be able to cause death rather than just show it.
It was expected, but the power in my eyes weighed on my mind.
After reading the skill information, I deactivated the skill.
I answered Princess Sahee with an honest appreciation.
“I’m sorry, I don’t know.”
Princess Sahee stared down at me.
I felt her wisdom just from her words and gestures, and this action made my heart seem to drop.
Her eyes were covered, but it felt like her gaze was penetrating my mind.
Princess Sahee looked at me and spoke.
[I know you are afraid of the power we gave you. You said that you don’t know, but we know that you guessed it at a glance.]
She must’ve recognized the fear I felt.
It can’t be helped since she’s in close proximity.
Princess Sahee stopped talking while taking a breath to calm the agitation.
She seemed to be waiting for me.
After a while, she spoke again.
[Those who receive our will are humble and cautious. I am satisfied because we seem to have made a wise choice.]
The superior beings nodded in agreement.
Does she mean giving me this strength?
I don’t know how they can say that when I just said I was ignorant of this power.
Wuuuu...!
I felt like I heard a scream in the shifting view.
It was like the sound of the whole space.
It was ridiculous to hear a sound with your eyes, but I did.
There was a pattern left in a gap.
‘There’s Jin there!’
I also saw the secrets of this world.
The passage and shortcut of the underworld leading to the bridle.
Traces left by strong souls that transcend the laws of life and death.
Secrets of death that are difficult to say.
And I saw countless names.
Among them, I saw something that suffocated me.
‘The names of my playable characters...!’
Perhaps it’s just the same name.
No, I was sure that they were my playable characters.
Even the NPCs that disappeared silently in PMH were there.
I could see why the stolen information was compiled in a ‘Hit List.’
‘They tried to select and kill those who will never degenerate, those who have a strong will and soul.’
When I clenched my fist to suppress my anger, I heard the watchman’s voice.
“Euishin-ah! Are you okay?”
He must’ve been worried when I showed my emotions.
My mind and body were okay.
Using Glare consumes more energy now, but it is tolerable.
“You have the power to restore the bridle of reincarnation, but you couldn’t cope because you couldn’t see what was coming after it, right?”
“Yes, I can fill the gap around the place where shockwaves occur, but I don’t see traces left.”
It would be simple if the watchman could handle it himself.
“I will tell you the locations of all the cracks he has made.”
“Did you find them already? Okay! Tell me and I’ll fill it in right away!”
“There’s a simpler method.”
I chose Cheon Dongha, the character that specializes in sight.
I usually use his light skill Eye Embracing Heaven and Earth, but I chose one of his derived skills this time.
Cheon Dongha can share whatever he sees.
His light skill gets an enormous amount of information, so sharing it should be done carefully.
However, the one beside me is the powerful watchman, so it will be okay.
‘He helped Ma Jinseung make Yeom Junyeol run away with this skill.’
The ability that saved Yeom Junyeol will save the watchman this time.
Fwaaaat!
The watchman’s eyes and mine were colored with the same light.
The watchman was flustered by the information that suddenly caught his eye, but his expression soon hardened when he stared down.
It would be flustering to see so many gaps, but he immediately carried out his duty.
He raised his hands and began to gather strength.
The force that extended from both hands spread far into the air.
It was as if a huge mountain was placed on his hands.
‘It’s more powerful than the Glare of Life and Death!’
The power of the watchman belongs to the gods of death.
The moment the huge force was released...
Jwaak!
His hands met each other, the echo spreading throughout the bridle of reincarnation.
The force that burst out of his hands went straight into the gaps.
And when he clapped ten times, all the cracks carved into the bridle of reincarnation disappeared.
