Simon had no doubts that Pri would be able to repair it after he saw the abilities and talents of this unparalleled craftsman. A few weeks later, the radiant crown of brilliance will once again shine with its divine light.
"Keep that Item over in that container. I will need to create a few special equipnts to negate the effects of the curse energy before I can work on it" Pri pointed at a container not far away from here.
"Now then, state your last business".
Simon had three reasons for coming here, as explained before, first was to check on Pri and how he was adapting to his new habitat. The second was to repair the Radaitn Crown of Brilliance and the last…
"I want you to tell about the Eye of Enigma".
The last reason was to inquire and learn about the mysterious eye, who had chosen him as its master.
"I thought you would ask that" Pri muttered, not surprised that Simon asked him about the eye.
Pri took a deep breath before delving into the mysterious history of the Eye of Enigma. He spoke of ancient legends that spoke of the eye's existence since the dawn of ti, a relic that transcended ages and held a power that defied comprehension.
"It is said that the eye had witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations, the birth and destruction of worlds, and had been passed down through the hands of countless beings".
"According to the records and knowledge they left behind, it is said that the Eye of Enigma was an enigmatic artefact, with a will and purpose of its own. It had the ability to choose its master, bestowing its power upon a chosen individual and connecting its fate with theirs".
"Are you saying that the Eye of Enigma has chosen for a reason, linking its destiny with mine?" Simon pointed at himself, surprise evident in his eyes.
It was entirely a coincidence that the eye of enigma fell in his hand, however, what now? The eyes had chosen him for a reason, so kind of purpose that he needed to fulfil.
"What kinds of purpose does it want to fulfil?".
When asked that, Pri shrugged his shoulders saying "Beats , I have never possessed the Eye of Enigma before, so there is no way I would know. In fact, it was also my first ti seeing it with my own eyes at the auction. I am surprised by the fact that rchant was able to get their hands on it. Perhaps the Eye of Enigma used the rchant as a ans to get to you".
Pri explained, he omitted the part where he appeared before the rchant of the Damned on his own volition to chase after the Eye of Enigma. His journey ultimately led Pri to Simon, a peculiar demon with a tangled and chaotic destiny.
If Pri were to put it in words, a normal person's destiny would be like a piece of thread with so knots and twists here and there. However, Simon's destiny was unlike anything Pri had ever seen.
His was like a ball of yarn, chaotic and full of knots, impossible to be untied. This was also the reason why Pri chose to follow Simon, he wanted to know what kind of destiny and purpose, fate had for this demon.
Although not fully convinced, Simon still nodded his head in understanding at Pri's words. The visions that Simon experienced during the mont when he first touched the item, the glimpse of the ruins he had seen. It was as if the eye wanted him to see and tell sothing.
Though it was still a mystery as to what it wanted to convey, one thing was clear, his fate was now intricately entwined with the Eye of Enigma.
"Well now that this eye has chosen , whatever this purpose is, I will fulfil it. However, before that shouldn't I understand so of its abilities? If the eye is as you say, an item that existed since the dawn of ti and not re trinket, shouldn't it have so flashy powers, so supre ability that would be worth all this nonsense?"
Simon asked, his voice was filled with excitent and anticipation. The thought of unlocking the potential of the Eye of Enigma, an item that existed since the dawn of ti, was enthralling.
However, to his disappointnt, Pri shrugged again, saying that he did not know.
"As I told you before, I have never possessed the eye before, and their powers are all a mystery even to . As far as I know, they grant their wielder imnse abilities that are beyond mortal comprehension. But the true extent of those powers, I cannot say".
Simon couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointnt as he absorbed Pri's words. The hopes of gaining so overpowered ability was quickly replaced with the harsh reality that even Pri, with his vast knowledge and skills, could not provide him with the answers he sought.
"That's right?" Pri could tell that Simon was very excited about wanting to learn the abilities of the eye. However, like the latter, he "So, even you don't know what kind of abilities the Eye possesses?" he asked, trying to hide the slight tinge of frustration in his voice.
"That's right?" Pri could tell that Simon was very excited about wanting to learn the abilities of the eye. However, like the latter, he too was mostly oblivious about it.
Though that said…
"I do not know about the abilities of the eye. However, what I do know is the records and knowledge left behind by the previous masters of the Eyes. That's right, The Eye of Enigma is not alone. There are other similar artefacts scattered throughout the universe, each with its own unique abilities".
"So are said to possess the ability to peer into the fabric of reality, while others are believed to have the power to manipulate the very laws of nature and ti. What I can tell you for sure is that each eye possesses imnse power".
"So what you are telling is that that there are other eyes like this in the world, each with their own supre abilities and that I have to find for myself what kind of ability the eye that I possess has?"…
"Indeed, it is a grand mystery waiting to be unravelled. But rember, the Eye of Enigma chose you for a reason. It saw sothing in you that made it connect with your destiny. You may not fully understand its abilities now, but I believe that with ti as you beco more accustod to the eye, the eye will reveal its secrets to you."
Simon's eyes widened with intrigue as he absorbed Pri's knowledge. The latter explained that the eye might be dormant for now or was observing its new master, attuning itself to their essence.
But as ti passed and their bond deepened, the abilities of the eye Simon took a deep breath and sighed. As per Pri, it was impossible to know what the eye did at this mont, he could only would gradually co to Simon.
Simon took a deep breath and sighed. As per Pri, it was impossible to know what the eye did at this mont, he could only take it slow and let the eye do its thing. Maybe soday its abilities would co to him naturally.
For now, there was nothing he could do here.
"I see… well then, my objective for coming here is over. Pri, I leave the two items in your hand. Notify at once when either one of them is completed"…
"Yeah, you can count on ".
After saying that, Simon teleported away from the Main Floor.
.
.
A great task lay ahead of him, the bundle of docunts waiting for him to examine and approve. After fighting the beast with all of his might, Simon was finally able to take down the paperwork.
Pond of Serenity... Simon continued his training as his body was covered with a pale blue haze released by the ample mana crystals that lay around him in an arranged manner.
Slowly his level started rising and after a while, all the crystals turned into empty husks. Simon took so ti to self reflect on his rising strength.
The Eye of Enigma or the Celestial Oculars was a sentient item that had its own will and purpose. Mastering it would require careful understanding and ti. As such, he could only focus his attention on raising his strength.
However, that said, it's important to note that for Simon, levelling up was not the sole determinant of strength. Strategy, skill, experience, and the effective utilization of one's abilities also played crucial roles.
Levelling up provides a solid foundation and amplifies a demon's innate potential, but it is the combination of all these factors that truly determines their prowess in battles and challenges.
For Simon, increasing his level ant not only gaining raw power but also refining his techniques, expanding his knowledge, and becoming more adept at harnessing the skills he acquired after ranking up.
So of course, he didn't ignore the training routine Irene had prepared for him. Side by side with his own training to get stronger, Simon also trained in Mana Control and gaining proficiency in other skills.
From an observer's perspective, it might seem like he was overdoing things, attempting to juggle multiple disciplines at once. However, this was a deliberate choice Simo made, while fully being aware that it would be a monuntal task.
Many tis, he felt the urge to give up, especially when he hit a wall and his progress ca to a standstill or when exhaustion threatened to overwhelm him. But his uncanny tenacity and resilience, traits forged from the struggles of his previous life, ca to his rescue whenever he had such thoughts.
