The Growth of a Titan - Chapter 16 - 16- Heavenly Eyes

Chapter 16: Chapter 16- Heavenly Eyes

Sol clenched his fists and with a blurry vision from the tears in his eyes, he lifted his head to the sky.

An abundance of grief washed over him, but within his grief, a deep-seated hatred was bubbling underneath the surface.

Between Sol’s brow, the faint outline of the crescent-moon tattoo appeared once more. Then all of a sudden, Sol felt a stinging sensation in his eyes.

“Ugh…”

Sol lowered his head and groan from the sudden pain. He was about grab his face, but his hands froze mid-way. That was because the stinging sensation immediately faded away.

But what happened next stunned Sol.

His vision began to amplify, and the ground looked closer like he had his face inches from it despite standing up.

No, even that didn’t exactly describe what he was seeing. It wasn’t just seeing the ground closer, it was much more than that.

‘It’s like… like…’

Sol tried in vain to describe the feeling with words but he couldn’t.

Suddenly, Sol saw an ant crawling on the ground. He could clearly see the black ant’s mandibles and even the fine hair on its legs. He could even see the reflection in its large eyes.

It was a reflection of himself, a larger version of himself.

Upon seeing this, a strange feeling hit Sol.

A feeling of being a God looking down on an insignificant bug.

However, this feeling quickly disappeared and was replaced but a nauseous feeling. Sol’s vision increased even more and his entire vision was black; filled with only the dirt particles on the ground.

‘Ugh…’

Sol groan and instinctively lifted his head to the sky once more.

“Wh-What is-”

Sol was just about to question what was happening to him, but he suddenly saw two dots in the sky. His vision increased even more and those two dots became clearer.

The scene he witnessed caused both sadness and anger to rise in his heart.

The two dots were his father and Adalhard floating in the sky above the village. n𝚘𝗏𝖾/𝗅𝗯-1n

….

…

..

Because the conversation between Han Min and Sol was done mentality, it only lasted around two or three minutes. A lot shorter than if they were speaking normally.

As a result, Adalhard was met with a two-minute silent treatment from Han Min after asking his question.

Adalhard didn’t mind though, he wasn’t in a hurry to kill Han Min just yet. He still wanted to know who he was and if he was from the Eastern Continent like he suspected.

Seeing that Han Min finally turned to look at him, Adalhard said.

“Despite you constantly observing the chaos below, you don’t seem to have much of a reaction. Is it that you accept that the village will be destroyed, or is it that you don’t care?”

“…”

Seeing Han Min’s silence, Adalhard placed his hands behind his back and smiled.

“Despite my questions, you haven’t spoken since we began our fight. How about this…”

Adalhard suddenly raised one of his hands.

“The acting Guardian that was once the protector of the village went crazy and brutally killed every adult in the village. However, the kids were luckily saved by the amicable Church that always showed kindness to the villagers since they came. But why would you do such a thing? Well, you were enraged that you would lose the title of Village Guarding after we came to the village, so you lashed out.”

After saying that, Adalhard’s smile became wider as he looked at Han Min.

“How does that sound? This will be told to the kids after witnessing the scene in the village.”

Han Min frowned at this but did not say anything.

Adalhard laughed and then went on to say.

“You-”

However, he suddenly paused and swiftly looked down after feeling someone’s gaze on him.

“Huh?”

Adalhard looked taken aback by what he saw.

Han Min also looked down as well, but when he saw that Sol was the owner of the gaze, his heart sank to the pit of his stomach.

‘He was able to unlock our race’s Heavenly Eyes? No, how was he able to use it when the bracelets fully sealed his bloodline? Is the bracelet’s seal slowly weakening? Solovin…’

A worried look appeared on Han Min’s face.

As for Adalhard, he was first shocked when he saw the mysterious gaze on him was from a little child, but upon recognizing who this child was he narrowed his eyes.

“Interesting, is that your child? What kind of ability is this? It allows him to observe us from this distance? However, isn’t he staring a bit too intensely?”

All of Sol’s attention was on Adalhard, and he was glaring at him.

The hatred Sol held for Adalhard continued to reach heights he had never known he could hate anyone before.

However, Adalhard suddenly snorted.

“I don’t like the look in your eyes brat. Wait until I deal with your father, I’ll fix that gaze of yours.”

As Adalhard said that, his eyes flickered with a dark glow as he met Sol’s gaze.

Sol immediately felt something stabbed into his eyes and he couldn’t help but groan and take several steps back.

However, even as blood seeped from his eyes, Sol’s hateful glare towards Adalhard never faltered.

Adalhard immediately frowned when he saw this.

‘This child… I can’t leave him alive.’

Killing intent sprang up in Adalhard’s eyes as he thought this.

Sol instinctively took a step back, then without much thought, he spun around and grabbed a confused Amon. He then bolted towards the village exit.

“Oh? Did he sense my killing intent? But what’s the point in running?”

Adalhard then chuckled to himself, but he suddenly sensed something that made him turn to Han Min.

“You…!!”

Adalhard eyes widen like saucers.

What he saw was a golden light shimmering on Han Min’s towering figure. The power emanating from him was steadily increasing. This caused the surrounding space to violently twist and distort.

“This is a Body Enhancing Technique from the Barbarians! Bastard, so you were from the Eastern Continent!!”

Han Min merely glared coldly at Adalhard.

“How dare you harm my son in my presence? Since you’re looking for an early death then so be it.”

After Han Min said that, a burst of energy suddenly erupted from him. He then punched out with his remaining hand, and as a result, the void in front of him let out loud a bang as it collapsed. The void then continuously shattered as the force of his fist sped towards Adalhard.

Adalhard’s expression became solemn upon feeling this level of power. It was significantly more powerful than what Han Min had shown so far in their fight.

If he wasn’t careful, attacks like this can severely injure him, or worse, he could be killed.

‘How can a mere Body Enhancing Technique increase his strength so much?’

Adalhard thought as he formed several hand seals. A giant avatar with indistinguishable features was then formed above him from his Holy Energy and punched forward to meet Han Min’s attack.
