Chapter 1045: Moving (2)
The Inhumane Eye?!
This was one of Yuyui's eyes, which Replicus knew to always be lodged in her left eye socket and constantly covered by her bangs. The green-haired girl had had this eye since the first time she met Skullius, and it was the one that gave her the supernatural ability... to not die. Well, to not die permanently.
In fact, when Replicus had discovered Yuyui in the Temple of Unlusted Tears all those months ago, she had looked much like a mummy surrounded by thousands of corpses that spotted similar features to hers. For the longest time, this had been Yuyui's defining trait, which, frankly creeped most enemies out. During their journey, before Skullius split, it had been a common strategy of his to use Yuyui's immortality to throw off his enemies.
The fact that Replicus, as Skullius, had gone through all those times with this fact stuck in his mind, made him the most shocked to see that Yuyui could now share the Inhumane Eye with others!
The blue eye blinked while nested on Allora's charred chest.
Yuyui gave a long, long sigh.
Then...
"Bassbion, get over here," she called with a commanding voice.
The Spirit grunted and walked forward to reach Yuyui.
At first, Replicus was surprised that Bassbion actually listened to Yuyui's command, but then The recalled that, Bassbion and Yagrina were supposed to be Yuyui's companions. However, only after she acquired three of the eyes from her Hidden Class, was she then allowed to boss these Spirits around.
Yeah, that was what Bassbion had said that time.
Yuyui gave Bassbion an uncharacteristically stern look with her eye not hidden by the bangs.
"Be quick about it," she said.
Bassbion's lips curled unpleasantly.
"Don't insult my skill," she said as she reached for the long sword at her waist.
Replicus stared at the weapon.
Ah, so many memories. He had been on the receiving end of this sword before. In fact, he had copied a skill that came with this sword back then, back when he was forging his gravity- inspired mana core.
'What comes next is...' the Penetrator thought. He already knew what was about to happen.
Bassbion looked down at Allora's heavily wounded body. Her body was full of vitality, and most of it, strangely enough, was coming from the carved, torn and melted armour she wore, which seemed to still be functional.
With a sneer, she gripped the hilt to her sword, and as the weapon hissed out of its scabbard, it left a smooth, curved arc that sliced through Allora's neck cleanly, seamlessly.
...!!!
Pherdanta, Baddan and Grim were shaken.
Unlike Replicus, they hadn't yet figured just how exactly Yuyui intended to help cure Allora.
"What-" Grim began.
"It's alright," Replicus hurried to assure him and everyone else. "Trust Yuyui."
Pherdanta immediately calmed down, but it took Grim a few seconds to accept that Allora being beheaded, was somehow a good thing.
Finally, the tall, thin woman convulsed no more.
"The one who's really worth so much here is Yuyui!" she shouted robotically.
Unlike Allora, Yuyui shouldered the weight of the attention like a champ. She didn't shy away
from it at all. She wore a smug, valiant smirk and puffed up her chest.
"How did you manage to transfer your eye onto Allora, Yu? It's only been four days since we
left Deign. What changed?" Grim asked.
Yuyui gave a childish giggle and rubbed her nose.
"It's the Eye of Moving. Right?"
Replicus was the one to answer the question before looking at Yuyui for confirmation.
She nodded vigorously while showing off the eye with the iris that looked like a purple arrow.
The eye was now on her neck.
"Yeah! This eye is very handy. It allows me to define the movement of anything I want. I can make anything and anyone I want move as fast as I want. I can move my eyes and place them somewhere else, which makes them keep their properties while on a different person or object, and loads more! I even used it to travel all the way here!" she explained.
Everyone... was stunned once again.
Even Replicus was stumped.
In as much as he guessed that the qualities of this Eye of Moving were what saved Allora, he
didn't know just how far its scope went.
"Defining movement?" he asked.
"Just as she said," Bassbion chipped in, seeming, for the first time, to express something
other than bitter condescension. She seemed proud.
"Any description of the word 'moving', she can apply it to anything she pleases, which
extends to the powers of her eyes as well."
Replicus shook his head.
Wow.
Just...wow.
That was...
Yuyui hurriedly waved her hands.
"It's powerful, but there are limits. Well, I guess I'm the limiting factor. This eye takes a lot
out of me. I am not exactly strong outside of my Class, so I can't use it as easily as you might think. We actually left to come to you yesterday, but because I'm a little... weak, we had to make hundreds of stops along the way," she said, looking a little sullen. "Besides, when it comes to me moving my other eyes to someone else, I can only apply their effects once."
Yuyui then turned to Allora and the others. "So, yeah. Try not to die twice in the future."
