Into The Portal: Monster Invasion - Chapter 371: Special Eyes

“Are you perhaps forgetting, Pixnox?” The older one answered calmly but Pixnox felt the irritation in her tone. For a second, he thought the doom day had arrived and the god was looking down on him to deliver his punishment.

“I do not, M’lady. I am perfectly aware that you were there at the time and you too were transported with that section of the wall.” Pixnox answered while sweating bullets.

“If I am not mistaken, you are saying that whoever moved that section of the wall did it to kill your son?” The older asked after some contemplation.

“I don’t dare to say my son was more important than your daughter, M’lady,” Pixnox answered with his head still bowed. “But, I hardly doubt anyone in their right mind would dare to offend you.”

“That might be true.” The older one held her chin in contemplation as she looked at her daughter. “Whoever did it, wasn’t prepared for my presence.”

“Yes, M’lady.” Pixnox heaved a sigh of relief as he raised his head a little, “I declared to everyone that my son would have his first breakthrough near the mountain. And when he was close to it, a part of the mountain vanished all of a sudden. It was too quick for me to react. And to be honest, even if I could, it wouldn’t do any good. After the mountain returned, my men recorded that any creature above Devil-Rank had perished. Except you, of course, M’lady.”

“Be upfront, Pixnox!” The older one said with impatience. “What are you implying?”

“I don’t dare to imply anything, M’lady.” Pixnox bowed his head again as he explained. “Your might is boundless, even the limits forced upon us cannot affect you. It only shows your excellence.”

“Stop brown-nosing me!” The older one swung her arm. “Tell me, what do you want to know?”

“Where was the mountain taken exactly?” After some hesitation, Pixnox asked. “I know it was the edge of the land, but I don’t know the precise location. Your daughter spent weeks there. She must have seen something.”

“I can give you the location, but you cannot pass through it anyway. Why do you want to know?” The older one asked as she looked at the Vampire Lord.

“We may have found a way to pass through the mountain, M’lady,” Pixnox answered. The older one looked at the creature with a squint. She was ready to kill him depending on his answer.

“What is it?”

“The mountain blocks even someone as mighty as you, M’lady. But my son and your daughter were able to pass through it from the holes. I can understand your daughter, as she should be as excellent as you, but my son was not. It only means there are other conditions.” Pixnox answered without knowing he could die any second.

“And?”

“I was looking into this for two years, and even tried to shove some small creatures from the same hole your daughter passed, but to no avail. Until recently when I discovered it wasn’t about the size, it was about the energy.” Pixnox said as he took out a map. On the map, the mountain was marked in many places.

“Mountain senses the energy to block creatures from passing. I don’t know the full conditions, but when the energy is sealed, the mountain doesn’t block the entrance.”

“How does that apply to my daughter and your son?” The older one asked.

“I don’t dare to think anything about your daughter, M’lady. But my son had a special ability.” Pixnox said as he clenched his fist.

“What sort of ability?” The older one asked in curiosity.

“His eyes… “Pixnox started as he remembered his most prized son, “They were special.”

As soon as he uttered those words, the little one got lost in her mind. She remembered the creature she encountered on the edge of the land. She remembered the blue eyes that could turn to red. Although she hasn’t seen them with her two eyes, she saw them while searching his mind. Those blue eyes defied everything trying to stop him.

The little one didn’t know if the creature that helped her to reunite with her mother has those special eyes Pixnox was mentioning or not, but now that she heard it, she was certain it couldn’t be anyone else. That is why she wouldn’t tell anything about that person to the Vampire Lord.

“Before evolving, his only powers were his eyes. And I ordered the best forgers to create artifacts that can seal his eyes, so he would awaken his other powers during the evolution.” Pixnox continued without knowing the little one resolutely swore to hinder his advances.

“And you think sealing off energy will allow you to pass through the mountain?” The older one asked.

“Yes, M’lady.” Pixnox bowed his head as he begged. “I require your assistance, as you are the best when it comes to the Null element. Please bestow your assistance for me to have my revenge!”

“How do you plan to pass through the mountain? Although sealing energy might work, it doesn’t mean you can fly over it. And the hole my daughter passed through was so small.” The older one didn’t answer but asked.

“Although anyone can pass through the mountain by sealing their powers, anyone above Berserk-Rank will die as soon as they step beyond the mountain.”

“Then how?”

“I cannot go myself, but I will send my best generals and soldiers and have them assist my greatest Grunt-Rank children to find the culprit and bring it back. They will be able to squeeze from the hole my son passed through.” Pixnox answered. ‘I will avenge you my son, and seize back the eyes that were destined to help us rule this world!’
