One-Eyed Monster

The Ant Connection Spell was created by the Alchemy Workshop, and its founder was none other than Milo, right here at Moonflow Stream.

However, not everyone comprehended the true essence of this spell.

Many perceived this spell as merely a tool for connection, good for reconnaissance but otherwise useless.

However, Kadi and his group obviously had their own interpretation of this spell.

To say Kadi had an ”interpretation,” however, was somewhat of an overstatement. As a monster, he was clueless about Spirit Power. Even though he had been immersed in the Spirit Power System, he still failed to fully understand it, partly because he was reluctant to use his brain. Consequently, he often grasped only half of the Spirit Power concept before discarding the rest.

Kadi had always felt he wasn’t suited to comprehending the profound concept of Spirit Power. He just needed to learn how to use it...

In fact, Kadi didn’t have a clue how these things operated. Even though he knew what to do, he never cared about the principles behind them.

This applied to the special Ant Connection Spell as well. He only knew how to activate it but had no idea about the principles behind it.

He had always felt these things were pointless; only the result mattered.

It was only at this moment that Kadi realized his past mistakes. Understanding how something functioned was important because that formed the foundation. Once he comprehended these basics, he wouldn’t be utterly clueless when facing the enemy’s bizarre and varied attacks.

It was a significant step forward for Kadi to even consider using the Ant Connection Spell, as he normally wouldn’t bother with such things. The Kadi who usually disliked using his brain and preferred lazing around would never have voluntarily bothered with such matters.

The current situation was unique, and Kadi recognized this. After realizing he was the only hope, he calmed down. He neither grew arrogant nor afraid; he simply accepted reality and proceeded one step at a time.

Kadi’s idea was a sudden inspiration, but when all else failed, such an idea might prove surprisingly effective.

Even though he knew the chances were slim for many things, he felt he would be even more hopeless if he didn’t at least try.

Fortunately, everything here was under the control of the Dark Force, so whatever Kadi did, it wouldn’t arouse suspicion...

Moreover, Kadi noticed that this opponent seemed to have been anticipating their actions all along.

Kadi vaguely sensed that this Dark Force was deliberately toying with them, like a cat playing with a mouse.

This was a very bad sign, but Kadi had no good way to resolve it.

His mind was now completely preoccupied with seeking help from Igor, regardless of whether his idea would succeed.

If it didn’t succeed, what would he do then... where could he go...

Kadi wouldn’t consider such profound questions; he only wanted to find a way to contact Igor.

His only hope for establishing contact lay with this seemingly omnipotent spell.

For Kadi, this truly was the only option left...

The Ant Connection Spell posed no difficulty for him. He had learned it naturally—no, to be precise, he hadn’t learned it at all; he was born with the ability.

Kadi’s uniqueness lay in this. There was no helping it; he looked different from everyone else, so they thought it was only natural for him to possess such an unusual ability.

When Kadi unleashed what he had been storing within his body, the entire Moonflow Stream seemed to momentarily recover something of its original essence, flickering once.

But Kadi didn’t notice this at all...

To seek help, Kadi was really pushing himself to the limit...

Previously, whenever Kadi entered the Ant Connection state, he could quickly adapt to the environment shared with him through the spell. Everything he saw was familiar. This time, however, he suddenly sensed something was different.

This was an unprecedented phenomenon. Even Kadi, who could usually take things as they came, could feel the distinct changes in this shared world.

It felt as though he were stepping into a tranquil sea, yet an immense pressure assailed him from all directions, nearly suffocating him.

The Dark Force was still babbling incessantly, seemingly unwilling to rest until it had finished recounting the tale of devouring nearly a thousand souls!

This was rather awkward. Kadi had to listen to the story while simultaneously trying to find something distinctive within the myriad tales.

The influence of this darkness was indeed immense. Even through the Ant Connection, Kadi could still feel the pervasive gloom. He even found it strange that the perspective here was no different from what he usually saw. He even wondered why the scenery of this Inner World didn’t feel strange at all...

Then Kadi suddenly realized he was using the Ant Connection Spell; he had never entered any Inner World. He couldn’t enter it because he simply lacked the ability.

Kadi looked left and right. An oppressive feeling was everywhere. He didn’t know whether he should advance or retreat...

He felt as if he had stumbled into an unexpected place where everyone was in a deep slumber, a deathly silence pervading the area.

Igor took a deep breath. He was still unwilling to give up just like that...

Deep down, he refused to believe that everyone’s consciousness had been stripped away by the Dark Force.

But the scenes unfolding before his eyes constantly reminded him that the Dark Force dominated this place, and there was no escape for anyone.

Just as he had thought, the Dark Force was indeed toying with them...

The Dark Force, which controlled everything here, not only enjoyed telling stories but also delighted in playing with people...

There was no other way. It seemed this method was completely unworkable. Kadi began to consider other options.

Soon, he would have to retract it all. The power still pulsating from him was what was known as Spirit Power. Though he didn’t understand it, he could manifest it.

Perhaps what the Dark Force desired was everyone’s Spirit Power...

Helpless, Kadi felt a growing despair. In his desperation, he began to ponder what exactly the Dark Force wanted to possess.

Although a million voices in his heart screamed defiance, a loss was a loss. The truth was undeniable.

Kadi felt there was nothing more he could do to change the situation...

Just as he was preparing to give up, a familiar sensation reached him.

”Kadi?” A soft voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, a voice Kadi knew all too well.

”Igor!” Kadi was overjoyed, ecstatic even.

”Hush, don’t be so excited; we’re in a very fragile state,” Igor’s voice continued, sounding cautious.

”What exactly is going on?” Kadi asked, cooperating by speaking very carefully.
