Chapter 510: The Fight With Valen (2)

Valen was furious, but his attacks did not get sloppy because of it. The man might be conceited, but he did have power. Valen knew as well that he was not in good enough condition to defeat Xiao Lin in his Ruin state, but if he waited for Xiao Lin’s explosive power to run out, then Valen’s victory would lose its greatest sense of accomplishment.

Valen took a deep breath, suddenly calming himself, but his rage did not subside. He stayed on alert against Xiao Lin’s attacks while saying, “You were somewhat correct earlier; I’m not at my perfect state. Even if I did gather up enough energy, I would still not have been able to reveal my true abilities. Do you know what you’re facing?”

“You sure speak a lot of nonsense!”

Valen continued, “You’re actually very lucky–not many can witness this ancient form. This is the most basic form of life in Planet Norma. I threw countless years into this before I obtained this power. This will mark a new rise of the dark races.”

Valen got more excited as he spoke, and started to sound fanatical. Xiao Lin could only look at him like he was a crazy person, but Valen did not have any intentions of stopping as he continued, “I know you don’t understand it. To put it in a way you would understand, my form is the original form, the way the first life on this world was. To put it in layman’s terms, it is the form of a god, the god that created all life!”

“You’ve really gone crazy!”

Xiao Lin looked at that fanatical man with a pitiful look. God? The God of Creation? Even if he was not certain of the existence of God on Planet Norma, no matter what, that pitiful madman could not be it.

Valen no longer spoke, probably already done with his nonsense. The next moment, the bulge on his forehead suddenly emitted a vibrant light that hurt the eyes like a star. Xiao Lin shut his eyes, and when he reopened them, his heart sank.

What was on Valen’s forehead was a third eye, almost causing Xiao Lin to be dumbfounded. He was not wrong. Compared to his own, and even Silverlight’s, the size was the same. However, it was not completely similar, because Valen’s third eye emitted a green glow, while Silverlight and Xiao Lin’s emitted a white light.

Valen’s third eye locked onto Xiao Lin after opening, covering him in a green light. Xiao Lin suddenly felt like he had sunk into frozen depths, the chill reaching his bones and causing him to shudder. He could not avoid it no matter how he moved; even the speed of his Ruin state was not enough.

“It’s useless! Stupid alien, my God’s eye can release the coldest chill. Haha, I can’t believe I needed to use this against you, but it’s no matter. The result is still the same. Death, or turning you into an ice sculpture!

“There’s no need to struggle! Only God’s eye can go against itself! This is the inheritance we got from the ancient King of Darkness; you invaders from a foreign world will never...”

Valen’s words were suddenly cut short as he looked at Xiao Lin’s forehead in shock. Xiao Lin’s own third eye slowly opened, and the white glow was countering Valen’s own green light. Xiao Lin took the chance to get out of the cold, but his Ruin state had reached its limit.

At the end of the Ruin state, Xiao Lin immediately felt extremely fatigued. Even though reaching Bronze rank allowed him to not faint after using Ruin, just standing was putting him at his limits.

Valen did not attack immediately, having been frozen by Xiao Lin’s third eye. His face had waves of shock on it as he muttered repeatedly, “Impossible! This is a gift to us from the God of Darkness. How could you have it! How did you get this!”

Xiao Lin wanted to know the answer to that as well. Based on what Silverlight had said, the third eye was unique to Atlantean royalty. After Silverlight died, logically he should have been the last one alive to have such an eye.

Yet, who was Valen, and what was that third eye that emitted a strange green light?

The questions in Xiao Lin’s heart were more than Valen’s, but it was not the time to think about all of that. Without Ruin and with the state of his body, he had lost all ability to defend himself.

No, he still had the eye on his forehead. The eye was still open, but the eye that Silverlight had given him did not have any combat ability.

Time Rewind was a good skill, but it was useless to him at that moment. Xiao Lin had no way of using the energy consuming Time Rewind after using Ruin anyway.

However, Xiao Lin remembered that Silverlight had said her eye had two abilities. Other than Time Rewind, the other ability was seeing the truth and seeing through all falsehood. Silverlight did not explain much about the ability, and Xiao Lin had tried using it before, not managing to find anything special about it. It could not increase any combat ability, nor did it have any special effects; it felt very weak.

However, it was the only thing Xiao Lin had left. Other than that, he was weak to the point that he could not even use Slashing. Even the Holy Sword in his hands felt like it weighed a ton; just raising it was difficult.

Silverlight had said before that each third eye had skills unique to itself. What Silverlight’s eye had was Truth, and Time Rewind was only obtained after levelling up. So, as a basic skill, Truth used only very minute amounts of physical and mental strength.

Xiao Lin shut his eyes, and the third eye on his head subtly glowed. Valen did not notice the change in his frantic state of shock.

Truth, activate!

The eye did not change at all after activating, but Xiao Lin’s vision did. Valen remained the same in front of him, but around his body were densely packed threads of thin lines. Each line seeped deeply into his body, and the other end went in a direction out of the castle.

Xiao Lin could not help but reach out to touch a thread, and his hand merely passed through it. The thread did not move, not seeming to be affected at all.

It was not a thread with an actual form. It could not be touched or felt. When Xiao Lin deactivated his Truth skill, the threads momentarily disappeared, which was how he confirmed that they only appeared with the Eye of Truth.
