One-Eyed Monster

Kadi’s sudden words left Wizard Reed momentarily stunned.

Just who did this guy think he was, having the audacity to rudely interrupt him like this! Did this guy have a death wish? If he wanted to be devoured, he could easily arrange that later. Then, he could experience firsthand what devouring felt like.

Wizard Reed’s speech had been ruthlessly cut short, a situation he found extremely revolting. His speech wasn’t just a way for him to vent his feelings. It was also a type of hypnotic enchantment. If he could just continue, people would soon start to collapse...

But this one-eyed fellow had dared to interrupt him!

His spell hadn’t reached its full power before it was ruthlessly disrupted! Had no one taught this monster how rude it was to interrupt someone speaking?!

However, Kadi always acted on his own will. He didn’t overthink things like Igor and his group often did.

Speaking his mind was one of Kadi’s strengths. He wouldn’t worry about things that hadn’t happened yet. To him, the present was what mattered most; everything else was like fleeting clouds.

So when the Dark Wizard was speaking, he listened very attentively... But he couldn’t hold back when he heard something he found muddled.

He had to express his thoughts. He might feel a little awkward when his opinions differed from Igor and the others, but facing this invader of Guru Mountain, he felt no shame at all.

Be tolerant and courteous to friends, but show no forbearance toward enemies. This was the principle Kadi had adhered to since he was young. Naturally, it was something Kevin had taught him. Therefore, Kadi felt no need to be polite to this insufferably arrogant bastard floating in the air.

”Also, there’s another point I think you’ve got wrong.”

Everyone already thought Kadi was incredibly brave. To use such a provocative tactic at a time like this—wasn’t he afraid this guy who had just devoured the Earth Dragon would suddenly erupt?

However, it turned out they were mistaken. Wizard Reed didn’t stop Kadi from continuing. Instead, he hovered in the air, listening quietly.

Being interrupted at first had certainly annoyed him, but Wizard Reed wanted to inflict deeper psychological wounds on these arrogant fools, so he wanted to hear how they would try to refute him.

This scene truly resembled a cat carefully observing its prey struggle. The prey was already in its grasp; it could torment it slowly, offer a sliver of hope, then torment it again...

This method was quite shameless, but Wizard Reed enjoyed it, for he possessed an extremely strong desire for revenge. Yet, as for who had wronged him, no one could say for sure.

Kadi didn’t alter his speaking pace due to Wizard Reed’s unusual reaction. He spoke unhurriedly, his tone laced with disdain.

Kadi’s meaning was quite clear: one shouldn’t underestimate ants. Though their individual vitality might not be strong, as a species, they were resilient and endlessly persisted.

For a moment, everyone felt Kadi made sense. Humanity might seem relatively powerful, but not so powerful as to drive all other species to extinction. Ants are small and weak, but they haven’t been completely wiped out. This was a truth no one would pay much attention to if unsaid, but once spoken, it resonated with many.

This was something difficult to articulate clearly, yet it often happened around people. Sometimes, small things could evoke deep feelings, while grand and spectacular events left people bewildered.

It was just as Kadi was saying now: ants are indeed very weak, but they endure and multiply. You may be powerful, but you cannot exist forever.

Wizard Reed wasn’t a master debater, so he had no way to counter Kadi’s arguments. And bad guys, well, when provoked, they usually resort to violence. Wizard Reed was no exception. He was enraged now; Kadi’s words had angered him.

He had originally wanted to wound these fellows on a deeper level, but this one-eyed guy had reduced his taunts to their lowest point. He had nothing left to mock them with.

You say they’re high and mighty—they are. You say they’re weak—they brazenly admit it. You call them ants—not only do they not care, they now say ants endure and multiply... They look like a bunch of scoundrels, seemingly mocking you: Come on, say something else you know about us that we don’t! When your opponent brazenly lays bare all their weaknesses and shortcomings before you, what can you say to mock them? What can you say to provoke them?!

Wizard Reed was going mad. It seemed the existing ways of this world truly didn’t suit him. He was a better match for the darkness; he was still used to slowly devouring everything...

So, he spread his cloak, and countless Crows flew out from the darkness. This entire world here was now his; he could conjure up all sorts of things at will. These cawing, flying Crows were telling Kadi to shut his damn mouth!

When the Crows attacked, Kadi showed no signs of panic. Not because he was so capable he could predict all this, but because he had never experienced this kind of attack before and was completely ignorant of it.

Ignorance makes one fearless. Fortunately, Kadi had a group of reliable teammates by his side. Although Kadi didn’t know what these Crows were, Kuyi Tulan and the others did. The moment the Crows attacked, they raised their hands, and the Exchange Beast charged forward to meet them.

Let this Dark Wizard also taste what it’s like to be verbally humiliated! This was the heartfelt sentiment of the crowd. Kadi’s verbal counterattack, in a sense, was indeed greatly satisfying.

Although they knew they would face even fiercer attacks next, they had long been prepared for this bitter struggle.

”Getting flustered and exasperated just shows you know you’re wrong,” Kadi didn’t forget to twist the knife.

Honestly, when it came to causing trouble, Kadi was truly number one in the entire world... To be able to infuriate the enemy even in such a situation—this was a skill not just anyone possessed.

Igor had also prepared for battle long ago, but he kept feeling he had overlooked something, though he couldn’t recall what it was for the moment. Kadi’s courage meant Igor no longer hesitated. Previously, Igor always felt he wasn’t a match for their opponent, but now, Kadi stepping forward had given him greater courage.

Wizard Reed now understood: it was pointless to argue with this group because these people always had a pile of specious reasoning to refute him. He hadn’t been their match in this regard before, and he still wasn’t now...
