One-Eyed Monster

Igor looked at all this speechlessly; he really wanted to know if this Soul Devourer Master had a tendency to enjoy pain.

The Soul Devourer Master was still asking why, why, why, trying to figure out where he had shown a flaw that caused Igor not to fall for it.

Upon closer reflection, the Soul Devourer Master suddenly realized that he hadn’t shown any flaw.

Because Igor said a sentence that kept him tangled. He asked why several times, but these people just wouldn’t respond, which made him a bit anxious.

Igor said it like this: ”Even if you really are Sol, I’ll still cut you!”

This sentence left the Soul Devourer Master puzzled; why would Igor do that? If he were Sol, Igor shouldn’t cut him, right?

”Why do you want to cut me; I’m Sol!” The Soul Devourer Master decided to ask once more.

”Are you done yet!” Igor was already curious if this jerk had a tendency to enjoy pain; then this guy suddenly popped out with such a sentence, making Igor’s originally coherent thoughts instantly fragmented again.

This is a vicious cycle; Igor suddenly felt that if he didn’t let this guy understand, he might keep babbling on endlessly.

He couldn’t stand it; he couldn’t accept it; he wanted to escape this endless chatter.

So Igor increased his attack speed; his increased speed also drove others, doubling the attack speed on the Soul Devourer Master.

Yet, the Soul Devourer Master’s recovery speed also doubled...

Igor felt a bit desperate; fighting like this was essentially an endless loop—when would it end?

”Why do you want to cut me; didn’t you come here to find Sol? I’m Sol!” The Soul Devourer Master kept asking persistently.

”Is there no way around this?” Igor turned to ask Sol, ”Does what we’re doing have any meaning?”

”Don’t be fooled by appearances, Igor.” Sol had fought against the Soul Devourer Master before and was relatively familiar with him. Through many years of encounters, he knew the characteristics of this Soul Devourer Master.

”Hmm?” Igor obviously didn’t understand what Sol meant.

”These are all deceptive appearances, just like his ordinary face; we seem to have hit him, but actually, we haven’t!”

”What?” Igor couldn’t believe it; his Sword Qi indeed struck the body of the Soul Devourer Master! How could it be that he didn’t hit?

”Feel with your heart!” After speaking, Sol began to rub his palms together, and then a Lightning Ball appeared in his palm. He glanced around, looking for a chance to strike.

”Leader, over there!” Shana suddenly swung the Tornado Whip in one direction, and Igor immediately looked over there, seeing a faint silhouette of the Soul Devourer Master. But he had just hit one with his Sword Qi!

What’s going on here? Igor was confused; he didn’t know what was happening.

Feel with his heart—this was what Sol taught him. It was all he could do now.

Don’t be fooled by appearances. He contemplated this sentence; this is the Border Realm, not the real world. His presence here was just a bit of consciousness, not his true self. His consciousness controlled something like a husk identical to his true form, but ultimately it was just a shell that operated on energy... Igor slowly recalled these details; he needed to rely on them to assess the situation at hand.

No matter what it is, there will be a weakness. Finding this weakness can break through!

Sol’s Lightning Ball continued to attack, while the Mos Brothers followed closely, but each attack had no substantive effect—the Soul Devourer Master continued to endlessly recover and babble.

Igor saw through all these appearances; he knew the Soul Devourer Master was very good at bewitching people. The fact that he kept appearing as Sol confirmed this, showing that these appearances were meant to confuse Igor.

However, Igor had already seen through this, yet the Soul Devourer Master continued to appear in this form. Could he really just want to know why Igor wanted to cut him?

Clearly, it wouldn’t be that simple.

This must also be something deceptive.

Igor closed his eyes; he didn’t want to look at these illusions anymore...

Wait, illusions! This jerk still hasn’t given up on bewitching me!

Igor opened his eyes: ”How despicable!”

Everyone was surprised; did Igor suddenly discover something? But they didn’t focus all their attention on him because they still needed to deal with the Soul Devourer Master seriously.

At these moments, they unleashed all their skills; finding the true form of the Soul Devourer Master had consumed much energy, but everything was ineffective. They knew not to be impatient, but couldn’t control Igor—he was certainly getting impatient!

”You really never stop! If you’re a warrior, come out and fight properly; stop hiding behind sneaky tricks!” Igor was clearly anxious; he wasn’t used to being looked down upon by others trying to bewitch him through such low means!

”I’m right here!” The Soul Devourer Master revealed a very innocent face, spreading his arms.

Indeed, the Soul Devourer Master wanted to continue bewitching Igor, persuading Igor to change his stance and join him, saving energy. But it wasn’t as complicated as Igor thought; he hadn’t thought that deep. He still hadn’t understood why Igor wanted to cut him, even though he appeared as Sol.

Igor’s anger stemmed from feeling that the Soul Devourer Master was mocking him with lowly tactics.

”Indeed, I believe in what others say; I’m simple, but I have my judgment!”

Everyone had a perplexed expression; what was going on with Igor!

”I choose to believe in things because I think they’re right, and the lowly tactics you show, I cannot recognize them; you jerk should just give up!” Igor shouted, wielding his sword repeatedly, whether or not it’s the Soul Devourer Master’s real body.

Sol sighed deeply; he sort of understood what was happening.

The others might not understand Igor’s mindset, but Sol did because he knew that simple people might be deceived, but they always had their principles, and these principles were hard to break.

The Soul Devourer Master kept trying to confuse and invert the truth, leaving Igor unable to discern reality, seeking to shake Igor... but he did not realize that his means had already made Igor feel his principles were being mocked.
