Chapter 133 The Power Of A Demonic Eye

-----

I ended up sleeping for hours and hours until I woke up more refreshed. That was truly quite the excruciating sleep, sleeping while having so much pain really is hard… Especially in this body, which is slowly getting more and more exhausted. However, despite the pain, I felt refreshed when I woke up, and quickly decided to stand out of bed. The moment I readjusted my sight with my new Demon Eye, I suddenly saw something else… It felt as if everything was filled with more colors than before, and there was essence flowing everywhere.

No, this essence has always been here, these are the invisible and natural rivers of Mana that flow across the entire world. I had sensed them before, but I have never seen them like this until now in this life. The Demon Eye gave me the ability to "see" the natural flow of mana in the environment, interesting… If I had some sort of way to absorb these rivers of invisible Mana, it would be even better, but this mana is infected with the world's source energy, and it is naturally reabsorbed into the world as it travels everywhere. If it is absorbed forcefully, it becomes dangerous.

But that wasn't everything, by looking outside the window, I was able to see a large blazing flame… but that wasn't really a flame, it was a red aura coming from the depths of the faraway forest, from the third layer onwards, there was a gigantic presence that emanated… demonic energy, indeed. This energy was demonic energy, most likely coming from either the Demon Gate or… something even worse which we have yet to encounter.

This eye gave me the ability to see natural Mana in detail alongside Demonic Energy from very far away, incredible… But the surprises didn't end there either. When I walked downstairs, I sensed the Mana and Qi of my three family members from very far away, as if I could detect them even farther than my own detection abilities could… Incredible, so this is the advantage that Imps have? Perhaps I should also replace my other eye… Well, it would be a waste until I find a special one.

This ability to "see" through basic energies is a passive effect of every Demon, apparently, so I don't need any Mana or Demon Energy to use it, and I can just turn it on and off with ease as well, how amazingly convenient!

However, I have yet to try out the other Demon effect, the power of the Demon Eye of Paralysis. But I need a target for that power… So I decided to move back to my room stealthily and summon out Fenrir, one of his copies which I still had saved, and decided to use him as a target.

"Growl?"

The wolf looked at me confused while tilting his head, as I looked at him intensively and activated the power of my Demon Eye. By controlling the stored Demonic Energy in my Skull and then infusing it through the veins connecting to my eye, the Demon Eye glowed with a bright scarlet flame, and an invisible ray of demon energy hit the wolf made of gray phantom.

BOOM!

"GROWL?!"

The wolf cried way too loudly, thankfully, I had conjured "Deafening Barrier" a Tier 1 Wind Magic Spell that creates a sound barrier that doesn't let the sound come out within its range.

The wolf only cried in surprise for a few seconds as it was being affected by Paralysis. I had to lock my sight into it intensely for it to work well, but when it was finally done the wolf was completely still, and even when I ordered it to move it could not.

However, that only lasted around 5 seconds, that's the amount of time I can paralyze something. Maybe it can last longer if I use all my spare demon energy, but I have no time to do something so wasteful yet, due to that, it only lasted as much before it was dissipated and the wolf was back to normal. I called it back to my shadows and sat down on my bed while thinking about the powers.

It was pretty good, I think I can use it in battle and it will come in handy, I just need to keep making Demon Energy Potions for it though, because I cannot naturally create demonic energy nor I can consume it directly from a target like blood that I convert into Qi.

To consume demonic energy I must first refine it from the materials of demons into potions, which refine the demon energy enough for me to be capable of resisting its corroding effects and be able to store it inside of my body. It is complicated and slow and hard, but that's the way of doing it most effectively.

And to get more demon potions, I need more demon body parts, hence, I have to hunt them down… But now that I am so exhausted, I don't think I can do something like that yet… I just decided to leave a small rune stuck into my demon eye using Illusion Magic, which costs almost all my mana, as runes are very hard to make, this rune will permanently leave the spell effect active over my eye, camouflaging it as a normal eye, whenever it needs more mana, it will drain it directly from me.

Runes are easy to make, that's also the basic composition for spells, but when you infuse a rune into a living being or an object, you can "infuse" the effect of certain spells and leave them activated constantly, on living beings they will drain the mana from the living being, and on other physical objects it will simply grow weaker until breaking, unless someone gives it more Mana.

Making a rune is easy as well, it is as simple as infusing several runes that mean a "thing" and that composes the entire spell circle, but into a physical object or living target, the runes are naturally stuck in the target like that.
