Chapter 414: Breaking Through the Sealed Zone

Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97

In the city, on the eastern side of the sealed zone, a boy in a short-sleeved shirt and jeans arrived in the orange-fog zone. By his appearance, one could tell that he was not a player.

This place naturally had a time warden as well.

“Time has come...Origin...” The time warden lifted his eye to look at the boy.

“I have a name, you know,” the boy spoke. “I am D1-Drake.”

“Level 1?” The time warden replied. “Hmph...No matter. I am—”

“I know,” D1-Drake interrupted him. “I can see.”

“What do you think?” At that moment, Phantom Dawn suddenly spoke to Shiva, asking him a question in a casual tone. Shiva maintained the domineering and aloof status on the surface and airily replied, “It appears like that glowing creature is winning.”

“His name is Y2-Bright Glow,” Phantom Dawn answered.

“Oh?” Shiva gave him a side eye. “How did you manage to find that out?”

“I can see it,” Phantom Dawn answered.

“Really...” Shiva replied coldly. Actually, he had no idea what the young man meant.

“There’s no shame in asking if you don’t understand,” Phantom Dawn chided playfully.

Shiva was cursing internally, but he said with a gentlemanly manner, “Fine. How did you ‘see’ it?”

“I used my eyes, of course.” Phantom Dawn gave an indirect answer. Shiva was incensed, but he knew it was better to hold it in. Thankfully, Phantom Dawn had not finished. He continued, “You might not believe me...” he turned around to point at his eyes. “My eyes can see through the ‘data world.’”

“What do you mean by that?” Shiva asked probingly. “You mean all you can see is the programming codes?”

“Not entirely,” Phantom Dawn replied. “It’s hard to explain.”

Shiva hesitated before saying, “Are you sure it’s fine for you to tell me all that?” He paused. “We’re supposed to be enemies.”

“It is because we are enemies that I am telling you this,” Phantom Dawn corrected him.

Well, that sure was hard to understand.

“I have seen the recording of your matches before,” Phantom Dawn said. “You are one of the few adversaries that I can acknowledge, so I have high hopes that you can defeat me.” He titled his head to look at the man who was ranked second on the combat stat ranking. He smiled and said, “If you wish, I can tell you all of my weaknesses.”

“Even if that came from your own mouth, it sounds grating to the ears.” Shiva met Phantom Dawn’s eyes, and he stared back coldly.

“I mean no disrespect. I’m just telling the truth,” Phantom Dawn said. “I can see through your data easily—your skill, equipment, sorcery weapons. But you know nothing about me. Isn’t that unfair?”

Shiva grumbled, “Are you showing off your skill to me?”

“This is not a skill,” Phantom Dawn corrected him. “It’s not Soul’s Eye either.” Hearing that word, Shiva was startled.

“Your Terror Point rose,” Phantom Dawn pointed out. “Actually, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to you. Since I can see into the data world, of course I can see the presence of Soul’s Eye. But I have not apprehended that power.” He scratched his hair. “Since I have all the information on my enemy, I know they are not going to defeat me even before the fight. The battle loses its sense of excitement. The opponent’s every move is within my calculation. Even if I run into a boss stronger than me in the scenario, I am not worried because I can see the power gap, and there is nothing I can do about it.”

“Fine. Assuming everything you told me is real, that will also explain why you occupy the top spot on the ranking though you have not unlocked Soul’s Eye,” Shiva said. “But you said this ‘observation’ power of yours is not a skill and not Soul’s Eye. What is it then? Don’t tell me you have psychic abilities.”

“Well, I wish I can explain that.” Phantom Dawn shrugged. “I only acquired this power after I entered the game. I have tried to log on to other similar games, but this does not replicate itself over there. In truth, I can only see the data when I am in the scenario. I lose this power when I return to the log-in lobby, and I don’t have it when playing Mad Thoughts.”

“Hmph. You’re telling me this is a special treatment the system has given to you only?” Shiva replied. He sounded at ease, but his mind was rolling. The most imminent one would easily win against any opponent with such OP power.

“Hey! Look! This is the last hit!” Phantom Dawn suddenly shouted as he pointed at the battle before them. Shiva moved his attention back to the battle. He saw that Y2-Bright Glow caught an opening and grabbed Hetsup from behind. Hetsup was winding down. His speed had slowed by 50 percent, hence the exposed opening.

Instantly, Y2-Bright Glow exploded in light. A thick, palpable explosion of light expanded from the man and soon ballooned into a giant light ball, swallowing everything within a five-meter radius, including Hetsup.
