Chapter 63 Ashok's Secret
"The Seeker's Eye. Isn't that the name of the special eye that your Ugly God blessed you with after you sacrificed the eyes of Hundred Virgin Girls?" asked Ashok with a wide smile.
Karzan's face contorted in immediate rage. His breath came in quick, shallow bursts, "HOW DO YOU KNOW?" Karzan bellowed, his voice containing uncontrolled rage.
Karzan's face twisted into an expression of pure fury with the mere mention of his sacred gift, it had struck at the very core of his being.
His name was one thing but the name of the blessing granted by the Great One even the nature and number of sacrifices. Karzan had to know, how could this kid possibly possess such knowledge?
Karzan's explosive outburst left no room for doubt—it was a clear confirmation of his identity as a Cultist. As his words spilled forth, revealing the horrific nature of the sacrifice he had made, the faces of the three men present twisted in revulsion.
The Duke's wanted to end Karzan's life right then and there but he waited to see how Ashok would respond.
"That's not the only thing I know. The eye that you call a blessing, allows you to look into someone's deepest secret. But it's not without its limitations." Said Ashok.
Karzan, his rage consuming him, no longer cared anymore and charged at Ashok. But before he could reach his target, a swift and brutal kick from Cassius landed squarely in his midsection.
The force of the blow sent Karzan hurtling backward, his body colliding with the stone wall near the roaring fireplace. He slowly crumpled to the ground as the heat of the flames licked his skin.
Karzan struggled to push himself up from the floor, his breath shallow and uneven, pain radiating through his body from the brutal kick.
Karzan glared at Ashok, his eyes burning with hatred, while he rose from the sofa with deliberate slowness, his movements calm and measured, and started walking in his direction.
'What can he even do? In the game, Karzan was one of the weakest among the cultists. He barely has the strength to back up his threats. Yet, he's risen in the ranks—why?
It's because, in the future, he'll master that eye of his. The one that's so limited now. He will evolve it into the Eye of All Seeker, that no secret will be hidden from him.
Then he will gain the title Karzan, The Blackmailer. The one who can unravel the Empire with just a glance, exposing the deepest secrets of every noble. With those secrets, he'll strengthen the cultist faction. Though that future is far ahead.' thought Ashok
Karzan's mind churned with frustration as he stood there. He was a C Ranker, stronger than Ashok in mana, but still far weaker than anyone else in the room.
He could sense that the others—Cassius, the Duke, even the Head Butler—were watching, waiting for his next move. He wasn't stupid enough to rush in blindly.
Karzan sneered as he thought 'Foolish Kid, I'll use my special eye on you, I'll find the source of your knowledge. And once I do, even if I die in the process, my God will resurrect me. '
Karzan's focus sharpened, his eyes narrowing as he channeled his mana into the Seeker's Eye, but what Karzan didn't realize was that this moment was precisely what Ashok had been waiting for.
Ashok wanted to see if Karzan could figure out anything about Adlet by using his eye and waiting for him to speak.
As Karzan's Seeker's Eye activated, he let himself slip into an astral state, his consciousness diving deep beyond the surface of Ashok's body. True to its name, the seeker will seek the secrets buried within a person.
