26: This Is My Ace!

Before Eirik lay an ancient fairy hand mirror. Its surface was impeccably smooth, yet strangely, a dense fog obscured any reflection of the outside world.

Eirik held the mirror, unable to resist the temptation to open its system description one last time.

*【One Life Mirror: Can reflect real-life talents in the simulation, duration: twelve hours.】*

Eirik's talent in reality was none other than the legendary *Eye of Divine Insight*. Now, he had reached the level of Practitioner Lv9.

For most, a Practitioner Lv9 wouldn’t stand a chance against a Savant-level powerhouse. But the Eye of Divine Insight was a different story!

Those who possessed the Eye of Divine Insight wielded formidable power; when mastered, they could even slay Mythic Beings. Killing a Savant was child's play!

“*How bold of you!*”

Upon hearing Eirik's words, a pack of sycophants erupted in anger, their shouts resounding like thunder, and the very air trembled with elemental force. It seemed they were just waiting for the emperor's envoy to give the command, and then they would swarm Eirik, drowning him in a torrent of magic.

Yet the emperor’s envoy remained composed, as if he didn’t regard Eirik as a threat. Even when Eirik insulted him, he merely smiled, his demeanor unflappable.

【“*To be a dog for the Emperor of the Dawnstar Dynasty, how many would kill to have that honor? A mere ant from a remote mountain village wouldn’t understand.*”】

The envoy smiled, yet began to form a series of complex gestures with his hands. With a flick of his fingers, numerous beams of magical light shot forth with tremendous force!

These beams of magic surged like massive white serpents, closing in from all directions, surrounding Eirik and cutting off every escape route!

*What power!*

The onlookers felt a chill run down their spines, acutely aware of the strength of a Savant. He was casting magic without even a chant! And it wasn’t just elemental magic; it was a unique serpent magic reserved for royalty.

With a mere flick of his finger, those serpent-like beams of magic possessed enough power to annihilate a Practitioner Lv9, instilling fear in all who beheld them!

【“Head of the family, we are here to lend you our strength!”】

A thunderous roar erupted from the Starlight Range.

The elite members of the clan poured their elemental energy into the magical formation, causing countless mysterious lights to flicker above the Starlight Range. A beam of white light, as thick as a barrel, blazed forth to meet the incoming serpent magic.

However, despite the awe-inspiring appearance of the giant magic formation, its power seemed lacking.

The serpent magic beams split into three and completely shattered the giant white light of the magical formation. The remaining five or six beams still surged toward Eirik with lethal intent!

*This is bad! Is Eirik really going to die like this?!*

Elvynna felt a wave of dread wash over her and wanted to step in to help. But just then, she noticed that Eirik’s expression remained calm as those sharp serpent magic beams rained down upon him.

He looked more like someone out for a leisurely stroll than a combatant facing certain doom.

*Could it be he truly has an ace up his sleeve?!*

Elvynna's heart sank, and she chose to trust Eirik. Others began to sense something was amiss as well.

The envoy’s serpent magic was terrifyingly powerful. Even from a distance, they felt an icy dread seep into their bones, a tangible fear taking root in their hearts. Yet Eirik remained steady under this pressure.

There had to be something unusual about this!

What preparations did he make?

At that moment, curiosity gripped everyone, their hearts racing as they pondered what would unfold next.

Eirik did not disappoint them.

The scene shifted rapidly, and they watched as the magic beams closed in, ready to engulf him. Suddenly, a brilliant golden light ignited in Eirik's eyes.

His gaze blazed with a divine fire, spilling forth in torrents!

The flames resembled beams of light and countless runes!

Under this terrifying blaze, the serpent-like magic beams began to crumble, quickly dissipating into nothingness!

The envoy’s lethal attack was easily neutralized by the radiance in Eirik’s eyes!

【“Hmm?! You…”】

The envoy finally revealed a look of shock. It was as if he was seeing Eirik for the first time, his eyes wide in astonishment as he stared at the young man before him.

【“You actually… possess the legendary Eye of Divine Insight!”】

The envoy’s eyes flashed with a greedy glint. The royal family was known for coveting others' talents, especially those of uniquely gifted individuals!

Years ago, Elvynna had her *Regal Bone of the Ancients* stolen by the Dawnstar Dynasty's princess.

Now that the emperor’s envoy discovered Eirik possessed the Eye of Divine Insight, his eyes gleamed with ambition.

If he could bring this boy back, it wouldn’t matter if the Crimson Frost Duke was dead or if a few insignificant princes were to perish; it would still be a monumental achievement!

*Eye of Divine Insight?!*

Eirik possessed the Eye of Divine Insight?!

Selene was dumbfounded.

Only now did she understand why Eirik wasn’t afraid of the emperor’s envoy; he had such an ace up his sleeve!

But what an oddity he was!

It was one thing for her son to be an all-element affinity, but he himself had the Eye of Divine Insight?!

How bizarre was his lineage?

Was he truly the offspring of a Mythic Being?!

“*Eye of Divine Insight, hahaha, so you knew you were awakening it! That’s why…*”

Pixie beamed with delight.

She had long known that Eirik possessed the Eye of Divine Insight in reality but had never connected the dots.

Now, witnessing the events unfold, she finally grasped the situation.

“*The Becker family is destined to rise! One with the Eye of Divine Insight, another with all-element affinity—this is more glorious than many ancient magical families!*”

Pixie stood tall, feeling immensely proud.

With a husband and son like these, she felt truly honored!

“*With the Eye of Divine Insight, this guy has three golden traits!*”

Liora gasped in astonishment.

How could such a being exist in this world?!

This was utterly over the top!

“*The Eye of Divine Insight, huh…*”

Elvynna sighed with relief.

It seemed she wouldn’t need to intervene today.

She felt both delighted and somewhat regretful.

“*Though he possesses the Eye of Divine Insight, Eirik is still only a Practitioner Lv9. Facing a Savant-level powerhouse like the emperor’s envoy will likely be quite difficult…*”

Selene pondered for a moment, her brow furrowed.

The emperor’s envoy was no ordinary foe; he was likely far stronger than most Savants.

After all, he had been by the Dawnstar Emperor's side for countless years, mastering powerful magics—possibly even forbidden spells!

He was not someone to be trifled with!

“*If he’s not to be trifled with, then I, Eirik, will provoke him even more!*”

Eirik thought to himself.

Since it was a simulation, he might as well go all out against a formidable opponent to discover his true limits!

Meanwhile, the fierce battle in the game was about to erupt!

【“To face one with the Eye of Divine Insight is an honor. But to fight me will be your misfortune. It’s truly a pity; you were destined to become a cosmic powerhouse, yet today you shall fall here!”】

The emperor’s envoy formed intricate hand seals, speaking in a cold and confident tone that radiated an aura of terrifying intent!
