One-Eyed Monster

Kadi stared dumbfounded at what was happening.

From the start until now, he hadn’t blinked an eye. Even though he couldn’t enter this Inner World, he was still able to understand what was happening through his senses.

He couldn’t believe what was happening; he felt as though he had missed something important.

However, the reality was unfolding right under his nose; there was nothing to question.

That Dark Force, which had once tormented them and left them defenseless, was now completely tamed by Igor.

It was like a lost child being led home by an adult.

All of this seemed natural, yet Kadi couldn’t understand the rationale behind it; he was utterly lost.

Just one story from Igor made this Dark Force surrender? This was simply unbelievable.

Kadi didn’t know where Igor was currently leading these spirits. Afterward, Igor created another Inner World within the existing Inner World, and Kadi was completely powerless against that new one.

In any case, Igor had taken the Dark Force and left.

Also departing were the Little Black Hands, who bid Kadi farewell before leaving, wishing him to find his own place soon.

To be honest, Kadi was very envious of these Little Black Hands at that moment.

Of course, his expectations for Igor grew even further.

He believed that Igor was the guide in his life, a friend sent by the heavens to show him the way.

Regardless, Kadi was feeling a whirlwind of emotions right now—joy, surprise, anticipation, and unease.

The surprise obviously came from Igor’s performance. The joy was from finally being able to catch his breath. The anticipation was for the bright future with a friend like Igor. And the unease stemmed from a trace of doubt in his heart.

He was worried that the Dark Force would make a comeback.

He didn’t understand how Igor had managed it, so he was worried that Igor couldn’t completely subdue the Dark Force.

So, in his opinion, he still needed to stay cautious and absolutely could not make any mistakes.

The results Igor had put so much effort into achieving could not be destroyed due to their carelessness…

He reminded himself that those Puppet Soldiers and Death Knights were not completely gone yet.

Kadi felt that he needed to maintain this Fire Tree Silver Flower well. If this thing lost its effect, then everyone fighting against the army of the Dark Force would be affected.

Kadi slowly began to experience this Fire Tree Silver Flower; he had to try harder to protect it…

But just as he prepared to infuse a current of energy and begin protecting it thoroughly, a powerful feedback force entered his body.

It was feedback from the Fire Tree Silver Flower. This feedback was very strong and clear; every minute detail was clearly presented.

This situation had never happened before…

What was going on!

Kadi felt a pang of frustration, wondering why everything he once knew was now presenting itself to him in an unfamiliar state. Was all of this Igor’s influence?

Despite the unfamiliar feeling, Kadi could sense that the Fire Tree Silver Flower was in its optimal condition!

This feedback indicated its optimal state. Before, Kadi had to observe every movement of the Fire Tree Silver Flower himself. Now, however, the tree was automatically providing feedback…

Not only that, but Kadi also discovered that every scene connected by its branches was demonstrating a tremendous advantage.

Whether it was Simon’s Devil’s Steps or Kuren’s sword, at this moment they all exuded an air of invincibility.

The Puppet Soldiers and Death Knights retreated significantly…

Especially the Puppet Soldiers; their formation had collapsed so badly it had completely turned into scattered sand.

This…

This scene was a bit too dramatic.

Even the Corpse Eaters, who had joined the battle midway and were almost invincible at one point, were now confined within a circle by Kuyi Tulan’s Alchemy Array...

This reversal made Kadi exclaim in delight; this counterattack was simply brilliant!

They were up against an army of tens of thousands! Countless Puppet Soldiers were now confined by their small group, unable to move.

This was a classic example of defeating a large force with a small one, and this small force was genuinely small!

Kadi looked around, hoping to find someone who wasn’t too busy to chat with.

The joy in his heart needed to be shared; otherwise, it was pointless to be happy alone.

Not everyone was fighting on the frontlines. Clearly defining roles was also an effective method of resisting the enemy.

Kuren was one of the heroes behind the scenes. He, Yuga, and Stan Sol had worked together to build the Inner World, which was key to this battle.

This moment of reversal also allowed the three of them a period to catch their breath. This was especially true for Kuren; alternating between the roles of a slayer and an Inner World creator had drained a great deal of his physical and mental strength.

Finally, he could rest now.

”HA HA!” Kadi gave Kuren a hearty laugh.

His laugh contained many emotions—relief, joy, jubilation, and sentimentality.

”Heh heh,” Kuren greeted back simply.

”How did you all manage it? How did the situation suddenly reverse?!”

”The Alchemy Workshop played no small role in this; their Exchange Beasts and the Alchemy Array trapped a significant portion of the enemy forces,” Kuren answered softly. ”Even though he had expended a lot of physical and mental energy, he still had a clear understanding of the current advantages and disadvantages. The title ’War God of Slaughter’ wasn’t just for show.”

”From now on, the Alchemy Workshop will no longer be just a supporting entity. They now have the ability to confront a well-trained army on the front lines,” Yuga added.

Neither of them answered Kadi’s question directly; they were just expressing their own sentiments.

Kadi somewhat understood their implications. Though not completely, he at least had a vague idea of the general meaning.

”So, the Alchemy Workshop reversed the situation with their own strength?” Kadi voiced his doubt. He harbored no hostility towards the Alchemy Workshop, but he felt a bit uncomfortable hearing others praise it so highly.

”Oh, no, no, no, that’s not the case,” Kuren quickly clarified.

”The Alchemy Workshop played an important role in this reversal, but they were absolutely not the key to it,” Yuga also added.

”Huh?” Kadi looked puzzled, implying, Then tell me what the key factor was!

”The reversal of the situation should be due to the impact of Igor’s... well, his ’talk,’ I guess,” Kuren said reluctantly.

”Yes, although I’m reluctant to admit it, Igor’s ’talk’ really did have a huge impact,” Kuren sighed.

Kadi looked from one to the other. Although he was still somewhat confused, he was beginning to understand a little.

So, it was Igor who caused all this commotion after all!
