Chapter 250 - The Weight Of These Eyes

Name:We die Recurve Author:Overlord_Venus
The Rupak used its wings as a shield around the Blinded Ghost, preventing it from trying anything funny as Re'Kha stretched her hand and grabbed her right eye first. She removed her hood and the ribbon covering her eyes, bringing the right eye closer to her eyes socket on the right, noticing something within stir up.Then, as if there existed a living creature within, an arm of Ghost Qi exited her right eye socket and grabbed hold of the eye, retreating into the socket. Instantly, followed by the flapping of her eyelids, Re'Kha was able to see through her right, elated at the fact as she teared up.

She then took her left eye from the Blinded Ghost, watching it scream in sadness upon losing its most prized possession. And similarly, another arm of Ghost Qi exited her left eye socket, grabbed hold of her left eye, and retreated into the socket.

Now, as she flapped her eyes, Re'Kha was able to see. But, she hadn't even taken a moment to appreciate the fact of regaining her sight as crippling headache induced in her, causing her to clutch her head and scream.

"Uwaaayk!" She hadn't foreseen this development, unable to determine the reason. Though, upon hearing the chuckling sounds of the Blinded Ghost, she knew that she had fallen into a trap.

"I'll be able to possess you now." The Blinded Ghost began to laugh boisterously as its spiritual form continued to crumble.

But right at this time, its expression hardened as Ghost Qi exited her eyes, condensing into a Hand Projection, looking different from the one it had condensed before. This Ghost Qi Hand Projection grabbed hold of the left hand of Re'Kha and touched her ring finger, the one with the storage ring Magic Artifact—Budding Dew.

The Ghost Qi Hand Projection seemed to suffuse with a regal aura that upon sensing it, the Blinded Ghost calmed down, sighing as it wore a helpless expression on its face, looking at Re'Kha as it spoke, "So, you're the fated one. It's fine then."

Upon touch, the ring activated as the Ghost Qi Hand Projection entered it and exited with a couple of vials. Each vial stored a Kalha. Re'Kha only managed to obtain five such vials from the Burkurel Ju Clan's Western Settlement after painstaking efforts.

And now, the Ghost Qi Hand Projection applied a bit of pressure on the two vials, cracking them instantly, shattering them perfectly without injuring the two Kalhas within.

Upon seeing that, the Blinded Ghost sighed, making the two Ghost Qi arms in the eyes of Re'Kha exit automatically and grab one Kalha each. Then, they crunched the wriggling Kalhas, absorbing their essence within their forms, leaving nothing behind.

There wasn't any trace of the Kalhas, having entirely been swallowed by the two Ghost Qi arms. Then, as if they had served their use, the two Ghost Qi arms exited her eyes, bringing out with them all the Ghost Qi present in her eyes.

Then, they voluntarily moved, attacking the surrounding Water Qi before they were eventually destroyed as a result.

"Huff…puff…" Covered with sweat, Re'Kha panted as the pain in her disappeared. Now, replacing it was a gentle coolness as her mind was refreshed. Her sight had startling clarity; for a moment she felt weird, having gotten accustomed to her lack of sight over the past few months.

She then looked at the face of the Blinded Ghost before her, one that resembled her, now sporting an expression of peace, one that was welcoming its end. Upon seeing her confusion, the Blinded Ghost smiled, "Good luck, Re'Kha. It's a pity I couldn't have your eyes for long, but indeed, they were the prettiest I have ever come across."

"Are you…" Re'Kha frowned, unable to form a sentence as she didn't know what to speak or where to start. She hadn't ever conversed with a Sha before. After all, only developed Sha were able to do that. And usually, encountering one meant death.

"I had obtained a lot of abilities during my journey," Now that its face too began to melt due to the Water Qi, the Blinded Ghost spoke, "Now that you have become the owner of my shell, a couple of those abilities have been transferred to you. There is one more in them, an arrangement by the one who imbued you with such a twisted fate."

As its face melted off, it left a sentence before vanishing completely, "Your master is one frightening bastard."

Once its body had fully dissipated, the Rupak flapped its wings for some time before vanishing. Its time was up too.

Re'Kha looked around the place, gazing at the numerous craters as she sighed, wondering just how she had managed to survive a battle of such a scale. Now that she thought about it, she felt tired, feeling like her mind had been on overdrive all along.

She was thankful for the fact that she had reclaimed her sight. But, upon seeing the carriage, she became sad, "The weight of these eyes is lurching."

She paid her respects to the fallen, "I hope you are reborn in a peaceful household."

She walked through the damaged terrain filled with craters, retracting the two Water Qi Essences she had planted. She placed the two Water Qi Essences, the needle-shaped Magic Artifact, and Harpen Waves in her storage ring, sighing as she looked around, wondering what she had to do with the place.

As time passed, she recovered her Elemental Qi reserves to the peak, sighing as she sat on the ground, next to a crater, leaning her back on a tree, now able to hear some sounds in the air. It was the sign that reinforcements from Burfuna City had arrived.

Standing a fair distance away, hidden behind a rock was Ki'Nua, having watched the entire sequence of events. If the situation turned dire, she had planned to help Re'Kha. But now that Re'Kha solved everything herself, Ki'Nua was relieved, nodding, "So, that was the gift the First Celestial Emperor told me to give Re'Kha. He gave her a power related to the Kalhas and also made the Blinded Ghost stop struggling in the end. Otherwise, it would have possessed her."

"So, it's true that he released the Blinded Ghost because of the deal with her master." She nodded, gazing at the leaning back of Re'Kha once before vanishing from the scene, "I am curious of the level you'll reach in the future, sister Re'Kha."
