Reincarnated as a World Chapter 285 Evil Eye

Ch.285 Evil Eye

That had been the scariest mont of his life.

Thankfully, he would eventually go on to find that the ash did in fact have an end, and that he had not been trapped in so inescapable land of death. It took a while but he ended up finding so notable landmarks that he used to return to the Heavenly Sun Fla.

During the journey, he had asked the System about what had happened and it had congratulated him for obtaining the Eye of Cremation, which was supposedly 1 of 10 Evil Eyes, Ranked 7th.

It was completely unexpected but it was also a thing of joy. All forms of power were welcod and he absolutely would not be rejecting it because it was called ‘Evil’. Still, it was better to figure out how it had happened so he tried to ask more. It was here that he was t with the common silence from the system.

The only question that gained an answer was ‘Why ?’ and the response had been: ‘Your desire for ashes.’

He didn’t know what that ant. He didn’t understand how his rage had led to him obtaining the Eye of Cremation, but he absolutely did not forget what led to his rage. Just rembering it provoked his anger again and it refused to let up, so by the ti he had returned to the Sacred Land it was sky high.

People ca to greet him, so with confusion on their faces, so with surprise and so with happiness, but he had ignored them all. He imdiately flew to the territory belonging to the humans to find the man, not caring about the possible consequences.

In the end, he DID find the man, and in fact he had been talking to Liyanda at the ti with a goofy smile on his face. The reverence and adoration on his had been clear to see, and the lack of care and boredom on Liyanda’s face had also been visible to all. But it did nothing to reduce his steeply climbing killing intent.

Sowhere in that mont, his new eye had begun to soak up his Mana, and in the next mont, the man was covered in blue flas, screaming his heart out in delicious agony that finally satiated sothing in Pharaoh that had been starving like a ravenous rat.

When he soon landed on the ground, it was in his Enlightened Form, and very purposefully on the remains of the man whose na he still did not know.

Liyanda’s eyes then had finally changed, no longer bored and instead showing interest in his new eye, as if the man she had mated with had not just died before her. It could be called heartless, but to be honest, he didn’t know what he would do if she showed grief. All he knew was that it would push him over a certain edge of no return.

They stared at each other in silence before he eventually returned to his true form and flew back to his own territory without a word.

It was after that that they had ford the proverbial ‘unspoken agreent’ to avoid each other at all costs if they didn’t have to attend a eting with the Heavenly Sun Fla.

Ha.

Many years had passed since back then and it could be said that their relationship had nded. But they had never really apologised to each other. Their relationship was… bittersweet. It brought him unexpected joy at tis that he secretly cherished, but it also broke him at tis.

Technically he should have long tossed soone like that out of his mind, however, no matter how many tis he tried, he could never stop her from plaguing his thoughts, never stop thinking about the perfection that she so effortlessly displayed.

Suddenly, the hand he was restraining broke out of his hold and poked him in his cheek again.

His eyebrows dropped and his eyes rose up in exasperation.

“What are you thinking about?” Liyanda asked.

Pharaoh swatted her hand away in annoyance, but on the inside he couldn’t help but marvel at how quickly his mood had shifted because of her. Well, it wasn’t like sothing like that was anything unprecedented, but it was an eye opener each and every ti nonetheless.

“I think I saw the Devourer.” He replied after a short pause. “My Evil Eye was reacting strangely.”

“Oh?”

Liyanda turned back to the sea but she couldn’t see the rumoured giant snake.

Everybody had heard about Jörma the Devourer, the supposedly strongest creature from the Fortissimum Continent if you didn’t count the alleged goddess. She was a Beast Empress who ruled over the Snake species and a few other subsidiary races, and held dominion over the centre of her continent.

This alone was enough to catch everyone's eyes, but what those with secret knowledge valued above everything else was the tales of the power of her 3rd Eye. If Pharaoh and Liyanda were right about its identity then that ant that Jörma also had an Evil Eye.

Could this be the reason for Pharaoh’s reaction? Did the Evil Eyes share a deeper connection than just their composition and na? What would sothing like that an?

Liyanda turned back to look at Pharaoh but more specifically at his Eye of Cremation. It didn’t look any different to her but she had felt Pharaoh’s abnormal discomfort earlier. Sothing was wrong.

The possibility of Pharaoh in serious danger crossed her mind and it imdiately affected her heart rate. She didn’t like that thought, but she also didn’t like how much the thought affected her. It was normal to worry for a friend or even a re fellow fighter, but her emotions for Pharaoh always transcended normal boundaries and that was hardly a good thing.

Pharaoh was… perfect. She could not deny that. He fit the ideal that she had for a man to the tee. She even secretly liked that he was a Beast and not a fellow Human. There was a carefully controlled ferality in him that did sothing for her. She wanted to see what would happen if Pharaoh, the always cold and restrained man, lost control of his desires and unleashed his passion with full force on her body.

At this point it was foolish to pretend that she didn’t desperately want him, but she would never act on those silly desires because she knew they could never co to fruition. There was too much risk involved.

So despite the strange ethereal connection between them, she had tried to cleave the image of Pharaoh from her mind at almost any cost all these years. Because of that, she had even done things that she never wanted to do, but in the end it had all been in vain.

She cared for him. Too much. And now she feared that it would affect her on the battlefield, causing unpredictable issues that she did not have confidence in dealing with.
