Ex True God In Animeverse - Chapter 102 The Death Eye of Balor

[later]

After the rampage of Xiao Qiangwei about his beer against the attackers, No Name and Will-O-Wisp were in the VIP room with Sala while Xiao Qiangwei was drinking his beer.

Jin: Sala-sama, what’s happening now? Wasn’t the Demon Lord that invaded Underwood 10 years ago alrady destroyed?

Sala: …Sorry. I’d actually thought of telling you of the details tonight. But I really didn’t expect those guys to act up that fast. In fact, I have another reason for inviting your Communities to come to Underwood… Would you be willing to hear me out?

Jin: Yes.

Jack: Yahoho… Nn. If it is just hearing you out, there’s no need for us to decline.

Sala: I guess you would have heard that Underwood was previously attacked by a Demon Lord, right?

Everyone nodded.

Sala: Though we managed to defeat the Demon Lord successfully, we were left with serious wounds. Moreover, the Remnant Group of the Demon lord seem bent on getting their revenge on Underwood.

Xiao Qiangwei: So those titans were part of the group?

Sala: Yes, but it might not be only the titan tribe. Even those Perytons who are the lead Man killers of the Eudemons have also started to gather.

Xiao Qiangwei: Is this only for revenge?

Sala: No…

Then she took out a stone about the size of a human skull from an hidden place.

Sala: This eye is their target

Asuka: ….Eye? You mean that piece of rock?

Sala: Nn. Though it is currently sealed… But if it were to be unsealed, it is said to be able to wipe out a hundred Divine Spirits within a breath.

Xiao Qiangwei: Pffffff.

He spit all the beer he had in his mouth after hearing that news.

Xiao Qiangwei: What the hell is that?!

Sala: …This is ‘The Death Eye of Balor’

Jin/Kuro Usagi: Ba…Ba…Balor’s Death Eye!

Kuro Usagi: You… You are joking right?! Talking about ‘The Death Eye of Balor’, it’s the strongest and scariest of all Death eyes in the Celtic myths! It’s a Demon Lord eye that can kill just by one look of the Gift!

While she was talking, Xiao Qiangwei scanned the rock and was shocked from the amount of dense dark energy that stone has.

Xiao Qiangwei: ‘I might even reach the 1th Divine Tribulation Realm in 1 month if I can refine it…’

Kuro Usagi: But ‘The Death Eye of Balor’ should have vanished together with Balor’s Death. Why would it still be…

Sala: There isn’t anything strange about this. After some research, I learnt that the Celtic gods are mostly those that have acquired Divine Spirits. In other words, it also means that they have built up spirit levels that would allow them to rise to the level of Divine Spirits.

And since it is so, it wouldn’t be too surprising to see a day when a second Balor appears.

Jack: Yahoho… So, you mean for us to provide support and protect the City from being destroyed?

Ayesha: It’s true that Willa Onee-san is strong, but her character is totally unsuitable for combat. Hence, unless there’s a very special situation that crops up, she wouldn’t even be willing to participate in normal Gift Games.

Moreover for this kind of matter, shouldn’t it be the correct procedure to first find the Floor Master to discuss? The other party is a Community that doesn’t even follow the rules of Gift Games and ignore the laws completely, isn’t it?

Sala: Unfortunately… There’s no Floor Master for South Side currently.

Everyone: What?!

After some minutes of silence, Sala talked again.

Sala: So, for the sake of maintaining the peace of the South Side, would your Communities please lend us your strength?

Jack: Though you might say like this…

Sala interrupted him and placed ‘The Death Eye of Balor’ in her palm.

Sala: Of course, it is not without a reward. I intend to give this ‘The Death Eye of Balor’ to the Community that makes the most contribution in the war.

Everyone: Ah?

Sala: I heard that Willa the Ignis Fatuus possess the power to pass through the portals between death and life, and this item would be very much compatible with her power, am I right?

Rather than letting such an item gather dust in out hands, it would be much more beneficial if it were to be given to her to use it to its full potential…. How about that, Jack?

Jack: About that… Yea, I guess it is as you said it. WIlla’s elemental affinity would be much compatible with it. But what happens if it gets into the hands of Communities other than mine? I think people beside Willa who can use ‘The Death Eye of Balor’ to its full potential in lower levels… shouldn’t exist, right?

Then Jack looked at the No Names, and Xiao Qiangwei talked.

Xiao Qiangwei: Well, I might not be able to use the Gift at the full potential, but I can refine the dark energy present inside the gift.

Sala: What do you mean?

Xiao Qiangwei: It seems that gods here are created from the achievements they did, right?

Sala, Jack, Kuro Usagi nodded.

Xiao Qiangwei: Unlike them, I became a god just by strengthening myself, and the method is using the energy around me, so if I can refine ‘The Death Eye of Balor’, I might be incredibly stronger than before, but the Gift will not work anymore and get destroyed.

Sala: Nn. Now I want to talk about something else, Jin.

Jin: Yes?

Sala: Shiroyasha had left with me a new Gift that she wanted to gift to No Name.

Jin: Eh?

Sala: It’s the reward for having resolved ‘The Pied Piper of Hamelin’.

Then she clapped her hands twice and some servants entered with a box, which was given to Jin.

Jin: Is this the new Gift?

Sala: That’s right. Facing the Game ‘The Pied Piper of Hamelin’ that was hosted by Black Death Demon Lord, you have met all the winning conditions. This item is the special reward for that game. You can open it to have a look.

Jin did as he said and found a ring that was carved with a clown who blew a flute, the right with Grim Grimoire Hamelin’s flag.
