Chapter 270: Watson Makes His Move

[Gold-tier magical beast: Evil-eyed Monster]

[Attributes: water, darkness]

[Abilities: Void Chains (can trap one or more enemies and transfers the damage received to the enemy), Spirit Whip (evil eye casts dark magic to deal soul damage to the enemy), Locked Arc Lightning (deals large-scale lightning damage that cannot be avoided), Disintegration Rays (casts dark magic to disintegrate all matter and deal gold-tier damage), Small Black Holes (creates small black holes that absorb all attacks and deal gold-tier damage).]

[Additional attributes: high-tier magic immunity, high-tier physical immunity, regeneration (the body can heal even if it’s cut off), parasitic (it can parasitize other creatures and control the host).]

Watson stared ahead as the monster’s attributes appeared in his eyes. “That monster’s abilities are quite strong. It’s considered one of the best, even among gold-tier beasts. It’s not inferior to the gold-tier chimera that I’ve created before. But it looks too disgusting. I don’t like it.”

He entered the underground city because he wanted to see what was in its deepest parts. On the other hand, he also wanted to see if there were any suitable magical beasts there. He wanted to capture them and let the Sky-devouring Rat King devour them. Then, he could enrich the variety of magical beasts on the mountain. At that moment, the only magical beasts on the mountain were the Golden Flash, Emperor Cluck, and the Sky-devouring Rat King. The selection was a little too sparse.

After all, the City of Steel was not located on the border. Since he could not fuse with the underground city, he was forced to use that method. Of course, he was not considering the large-eyed monster in front of him.

While he was thinking, the evil-eyed monster in the tunnel launched another attack. Large eyes began to fall, one after the other. A thin layer of black eyelids covered the eyes, and the backs of the eyes were connected via a tiny nerve. The nerve wound danced through the air, wrapping around the neck of an adventurer team member who was attempting to flee. The slick sensation caused the adventurer team member to scream, but he soon lost his ability to do that too.

Blood streamed down his body as a result of the long, thin nerve twisted around his neck. The adventurer team member was hanging in the air.

The death of an adventurer team member made the others, who were trying to escape, even crazier. Unfortunately, even if they used all their limbs, they were not as fast as the evil-eyed monsters. An eyeball fell on the head of another adventurer team member. However, the evil-eyed monster did not strangle him to death. Instead, it used the huge mouth that grew around the eyeball to bite the adventurer’s head off.

Additionally, the black-gray eye was shooting streaks of pitch-black light as it flew through the air. It was a gold-tier dark attribute spell—Disintegrating Light. Everything that came into contact with the light, whether rocks or human bodies, would disintegrate into minute fragments. A blindingly bright light struck another adventurer, and fissures developed throughout his body. He strained to extend his right hand, but his body broke into dust before he could even cry out in fear.

Four of the six adventurers were immediately slaughtered, leaving only two bloodied survivors. They struggled to crawl ahead of Clyde and the others; they cried out for help.

“Save us!”

Pa!

Without waiting for Clyde’s response, Arthur, who had been hiding behind them, rushed forward and kicked his teammates’ hands away.

“What are you doing, Arthur?” Clyde regained his composure and screamed aggressively.

“Captain, those two people are seriously injured. Even if we get them out, they might not survive it. Why don’t we leave them here and use them as bait? We still have a chance to escape!” Arthur swallowed his saliva, turning his head away from the two desperate adventurers in front of him. The reluctance in his eyes quickly turned into determination. At the same time, he turned around to look at Watson and Nightingale.

“It’s not only them; we also have these two foreigners who paid us to enter the dungeon. If they did not insist on entering the dungeon, we wouldn’t have encountered the Labyrinth’s Metamorphosis. I suggest we keep them here as well.”

His idea was very simple. The more people they could use as bait, the greater their chances of survival.

“Using us as bait? Is that what you all think?” Watson looked amused and stopped Nightingale, who was about to say something. Even though Nightingale did not say anything, she saw that Arthur’s expression got colder. It was as if she was looking at a dead person.

The magical beast in front of her was only gold-tier. She did not even need Young Master Watson to deal with it. She was not angry when the magical beasts had killed other people because she was an emotionless killer. However, she was mad with Arthur’s attitude. She had wanted to save that group of people, but she had changed her mind.

“Arthur, I’m really disappointed in you.”

Clyde shook his head at Arthur. He raised the two longswords in his hands and blocked Watson. “As an adventurer, the most important thing is credibility. If you betray your employer for profit, what’s the difference between that and selling your soul? If you want to escape, then run. I’ll stay here and fight until the last moment.”

Those were Clyde’s words. There was something he did not say—where could he run? The evil eye monster’s coverage encompassed the entire section. It was better to fight the monster; their chances of survival were higher.

“I support the captain’s decision, Arthur. You were the one who said that it would be great if there were a change in the maze. Now that there is a change in the labyrinth, you’re blaming others instead. Are you a man?”

Annie also stood beside Clyde. She raised her palm. The flame that had been used for illumination had turned into the size of a human head. Bursts of orange sparks burst from it; it looked very lethal.

Leon did not say anything. He dragged two injured adventurers to the side and began to pray to cast God’s blessing to alleviate their pain.

The two adventurers’ expressions got a little calmer as they recovered from their fear and sadness. They expressed their gratitude loudly. “We are members of the Holy Sword adventurer team in the City of Steel. Our leader is the kingdom’s most famous swordswoman. If we make it out of here alive, we will report this to the swordswoman and express our gratitude to both of you.”

“Then we will have to wait until we get out of here alive.”

Clyde roared angrily and suddenly took a step forward. The two swords in his hands drew a cross-shaped sword light. “Bronze-tier battle technique, Cross Square Cut!”

The cross-shaped sword light was covered with a thick layer of wind-attribute combat aura. It had turned into a powerful whirlwind and swept past the passage more than ten meters in front of him. That move shattered the rocks on the ground.

“Bronze-tier spell, Explosive Flame.” Annie quickly followed suit with her own strike. A fireball the size of a human head fused with the sword light in the cross shape to create a layer of flames for the whistling whirlwind.

The flame whirlwind shone brightly as it lit up the entire cave. Leon did not sit idle either. He cast the Blessing of God to make the attacks of Clyde and Arthur stronger.

“D*mn it!”

Arthur cursed before he joined the fight. The crossbow in his hand shot out like lightning. The eyeball of the evil-eyed monster, which was gathering toward Clyde and was about to cast a spell, was forced to shrink back.

The evil-eyed monster’s eyeball, advancing toward Clyde and about to cast a spell, was forced to retract.

The four of them launched coordinated attacks. While there were only four bronze-tier attacks, they were no weaker than a silver-tier warrior’s full-strength attack when combined. However, such an attack would have been futile in the face of the evil-eyed creature.

The attacks of the four of them were smooth and coordinated. Although there were only four bronze-tier attacks, when combined, they were not weaker than the full-strength attack of a silver-tier warrior. However, such an attack was useless in front of the evil-eyed monster.

The evil-eyed monster’s dark gray eyeball glowed with purple light. Four purple chains flew out and landed like lightning on Clyde and his other three members.

A flaming tornado swept past the evil-eyed monster’s body. The evil-eyed monster remained unharmed. On the contrary, it was the four of them. Their bodies seemed to have been set ablaze for a long time. They were charred black and flew backward.

“D*mn it. Are we going to die here today?”

Clyde’s mouth erupted with green smoke as he laid weakly on the ground. His eyes were brimming with despair. Even someone as courageous as him felt sad. Their united strike collided with the evil-eyed monster’s body and was deflected; they failed to inflict even a single wound. They had no idea how they would fight that battle.

It was not just him. Arthur, Annie, Leon, and even the two adventurers trembling on the side were ashen. Only the smooth sound of the evil-eye monster’s eyeballs moving could be heard throughout the corridor, bringing the shadow of doom to everyone.

Sigh.

“I had not wanted to make a move.”

A tender voice resounded across the tunnel just as everyone thought they were dead. Then, they witnessed the teenager, who had hired them, take a weak step forward and said three words to the evil-eyed monster ensconced on the wall. “Get down now.”

The next scene shocked them. The evil-eyed monster that could completely crush them trembled and let out a terrified scream. Its body continued to shrink until it became a head-sized human eyeball with tentacles around it; it landed in front of Watson.

Then, Watson stepped forward and crushed the eyeball.
