Harem Reborn - Chapter 249

Once my head had started to shrink in with the rest of my body, I had closed my eyes. The feeling was still there, and as my head sunk into my shoulders, there was a brief moment where I had no eyes to open. Then I felt a single massive eye the radius of my body grow on the upper half of my body, and then tentacles started to grow, seven of them.

When everything had stopped growing, I tried to open my eyes, but that was a mistake. Eight different views assaulted me and it was like going super cross-eyed. I closed them again and tried to open my big main one, slowly, but now it felt like I was staring down a cone.

I slowly opened each one of my eyestalks and let my mind get used to having so many different views. I found if I just relaxed, all but two of my eyestalks would look forward with my main eye, but the last two would always be looking around, giving me a three-hundred and sixty views of the area I was in.

I looked at my skills again, and this time it was a lot easier since I could divert the menu to a single eyestalk. I was able to float to the mountain and go over my skills at the same time which was a great time saver. Looking at my skill, I noticed something about the attacks, and each was set to a certain eyestalk. I would have to study these, but I had time.

While this form was surely powerful, it was slow as balls. I scanned over each attack or ray, and they were all different.

1. Charm Ray. The target must make attacks against an ally while charmed

2. Paralyzing Ray. Paralyze target.

3. Slowing Ray. The affected target loses 75% of its movement speed. This can affect up to 3 other creatures within 3m.

4. Enervation Ray. Target has decreased accuracy on attacks it makes. All attacks made against the target are done at an advantage.

5. Disintegration Ray. Dematerialize target. This overcomes magical properties.

6. Death Ray. Instant death to living targets.

7. ???. ???.

Central. Eyeon Ray. Pure energy that negates magic 1m wide by infinite

I somehow knew which eyestalk worked with which ability, but I wondered about the seventh ability. I was probably just random and improved versions of the other rays, but how did you improve a Death Ray? More Death Rays, but also was hidden like another skill, so it was anybody’s guess.

The real kicker was the Eyeon Ray, real cute on my part, no wonder I like this class so much. I wondered if I shot it at the center of the world, would it blow up like in the movies? I would have to make a blank world after I finished the game so Hyde and I could go and use Bhan as target practice and have some fun with cool things we make.

I just had to get there first, and I was seriously behind everyone else, but I was still about fifteen minutes from the cave. That made me start to think about the leaders; there were five of us…why? For the first time, I really thought about it.

Twelve Zodiac worlds, five leaders, but I was sure that I needed to clear three worlds. The four of us decided that…why only four? The memory was still blocked by something, along with anything to do with the fifth Harem Leader. Was the Fifth Harem Leader Reginold? Who else could get into the game and do that?

He must have inserted some kind of memory with the blocks to make us think that there was a fifth member, but there wasn’t. There was just Hyde, Bhan, Kiada, and myself. What did that mean? Was he trying to complete the worlds too and get to Aihalla for something in the Endgame?

There were way too many questions coming from this revelation and asking Mom…Tequila. I really couldn’t call her that anymore, I had sex with her more than (insert big number here) times, so that was just not right. Regardless, neither she nor Dansei would be any help with this, and that’s why they are staying quiet right now.

The only way I’m going to get the answers that I want is to get to the final game world. I was ten worlds in and there was only one world left before the final game world, and I wouldn’t be messing around in it either. Whatever the game threw at me, I would destroy it, and catch up to the rest.

I had finally made it, and there was a huge hole about forty meters up, but I was down here. The rock cliff face of the mountain was almost completely vertical and offered virtually no handholds. That thought made the seven eye stocks turn on me and it got a hundred and eighty-degree view of my body. Then they all moved forward to be in the range of my main eye and gave me a look that said, you idiot.

The eyestalk pointed up, and I thought the same thing and started to rise. Of course you dumb dumb, I flew here, why wouldn’t I be able to fly up. All seven of my eyestalks rolled, almost making me sick with the spinning motion.

Once I got my bearing together, I started to float up, slowly. I really didn’t have a lot of speed, so I hope these dragons are not too feisty. I wasn’t really the chasing type, more of the slow-rolling destruction, left a wake of death and chaos. Ah, I would be fine, I was a laser beam monster, plus there were ladies to save.

I rose up to the mouth of the cave, and I was greeted by three massive dragon heads. Oh shit! I was the size of one of their eyeballs! Well, no take backsies, I was here, time to bring the noise!
