One-Eyed Monster

Sol quickly launched the Lightning Ball in his hand defensively. He thought the words of the Soul Devourer Master were quite suspicious, and he felt there was definitely something hidden within them.

Igor’s display of Sword Qi made the Soul Devourer Master very satisfied. This satisfaction made Sol feel that the Soul Devourer Master was deliberately training Igor...

Igor’s Thunder Sword Qi gradually became stable under the pressure of the Energy Ball. This left Sol perplexed; why was the Soul Devourer Master doing this? Increasing Igor’s power was not beneficial to him. Sol believed he could fight this Soul Devourer Master, even if the odds weren’t great, but it shouldn’t be like this. While storing power, Sol observed. His intuition told him that Igor was the key, and he believed in Igor, but the actions of the Soul Devourer Master left him a bit worried.

The term ”awakening” was quite familiar to Sol. As an ancient Hunter, he knew various secrets from all corners of the world. He was aware that some people had dormant powers within their bodies that, once awakened, could change them completely. They might have been gentle before, but once awakened, they could become extremely brutal. Sol was worried Igor might be one of those people...

But the Soul Devourer Master’s words always had a bewitching quality, so Sol couldn’t fully trust him. He knew he couldn’t act rashly now. At the moment, they could still withstand the attacks of the Soul Devourer Master without expending too much energy. Observing and adapting were the best approaches for now, especially since his ultimate move required charging and shouldn’t be exposed at this moment.

As for Igor, Sol thought that after this training, maybe a special condition in him might be revealed. At that time, everything would come to light.

Sol now felt that this Soul Devourer Master would slowly elevate his attack methods, only striking lethally when he felt he could no longer train them. This Master wanted to take everyone’s consciousness from here. For him, a complete consciousness wasn’t so important; he seemed only to need Igor’s consciousness intact, while the others would probably be devoured. This was a conclusion Sol had reached after years of dealing with the Soul Devourer Master.

Igor was steadily improving the stability of his Thunder Sword Qi. His breathing gradually calmed, and it was apparent that he was now able to control the mysterious Thunder within him freely.

Though uncertain where this Thunder came from, Igor found it quite astonishing. The sudden emergence of energy within himself that he could actually wield was still a strange feeling.

”Your improvement is swift, indicating your awakening is fast. The deepest you within your heart should have already taken over your consciousness, right? Soon enough, you should know who you truly are!” The Soul Devourer Master seemed somewhat excited when he said this, as if happy about Igor’s power boost.

Sol and others were both defending and observing, waiting for Igor’s response.

Igor, however, had no emotional change, remaining as impatient as before: ”Are you done yet? Why so much talking in a fight!”

After speaking, he sent another Thunder Sword Qi towards the Soul Devourer Master.

Sol breathed a sigh of relief; all his previous worries dissipated. He immediately followed Igor’s attack with a Lightning Ball.

The two flashes of lightning rushed quickly at the Energy Balls and headed straight for the Soul Devourer Master.

With a thunderous roar, the combined assault forced the Soul Devourer Master back two steps, creating a breach in the Yellow Light Ring around him...

”What? Still not awakened!” The Soul Devourer Master muttered to himself.

”Awaken your uncle!” Igor wielded his sword and charged forward, not wanting to miss this opportunity to strike down the Soul Devourer Master!

”Don’t be reckless!” Sol hurried to warn Igor, but it was too late. Igor’s sword had already struck the breach in the Soul Devourer Master’s Light Ring.

Before this moment, due to being stunned by Igor’s reaction, the Soul Devourer Master hadn’t launched any Energy Balls, creating a gap. Igor took this opportunity to directly strike at the Soul Devourer Master.

The power gap was obvious. Even with a small opportunity like this, Igor couldn’t do much to the Soul Devourer Master.

When the sword hit the breach in the Yellow Light Ring, it immediately restored itself completely, and a powerful shockwave erupted, forcefully sending Igor flying.

The impact was so strong that Igor couldn’t control his body, as if his entire being was about to be torn apart.

Luckily, Sol’s warning had prepared the Mos Brothers. They launched their massive bodies to catch the ejected Igor. Even so, they staggered back several steps. Without Shana’s Tornado Whip pulling them back, the Mos Brothers might have been thrown away...

Meanwhile, Sol swiftly released two waves of lightning to fend off the Soul Devourer’s immediate counterattack.

The previous shockwave made Igor feel the energy disparity. It was not just a slight difference—it was a huge gap.

Igor’s hands trembled as he numbly looked at the Mos Brothers: ”That was his instinctive counterattack. This guy is like a bottomless pit of endless energy.”

”Yes, we know. You acted too rashly!” The Mos Brothers’ hands were also trembling; countering the shockwave’s attack had indeed consumed a large amount of their energy.

”I’m sorry, I just couldn’t control myself...”

”The Soul Devourer Master is skilled at bewitching and deceiving. He’s a manifestation of evil. Don’t let him provoke you,” Shana said, holding her whip, standing in front of Igor.

”Why are you still not awake? You shouldn’t be like this. With the thunder unleashed at the Border Realm, you should be awakened. Why are you maintaining this appearance!” The Soul Devourer Master hastily questioned, his demeanor entirely different from before.

Igor and others were baffled, not knowing what the Soul Devourer Master was doing. Igor felt like stuffing his ears to focus on fighting, but unfortunately, in the Border Realm, everything is perceived through consciousness, so covering his ears was futile...

”This shows...” Sol was now wrapped in lightning, looking as though he wore a garment of thunder. In the palm of his hand, the lightning had already flared into a brilliant white light, clearly the culmination of a long-awaited, fully-charged strike aimed to take his opponent by surprise. However, before he attacked, he couldn’t resist launching a verbal assault—perhaps it was the loneliness between masters, each wanting to give others a double lesson.

”This shows... you are wrong!”

The white lightning shot towards the Soul Devourer Master at incredible speed, catching him off guard!
