In the black castle.
Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao were both stunned.
This was the first time they heard Jiang Chen say he might die!
No matter what danger they faced before, he always handled it with calm composure.
Even when facing a gold-level BOSS, Jiang Chen was always so effortless and relaxed.
But now...
"Don't just stand there, leave quickly!"
Jiang Chen shouted.
At this moment, Lamer activated the eyeball in his hand, and another black beam shot over!
Jiang Chen's mana decreased by another 1000 points!
He quickly replenished his mana from the Mana Crystal Bottle.
Although his own mana was now at 3750 points, the crystal bottle only had 1000 points left!
That meant he could withstand at most four more black beams.
When the fifth black beam hit, Jiang Chen would fall!
And the distance between him and Lamer was increasing, now over 25 meters!
The situation was becoming unsolvable!
"Sister Qing Ying, let's go!"
Tao Xiaoyao didn't hesitate; she knew staying here would only mean certain death!
At this moment, she seemed to have matured significantly.
Hearing this, Qing Ying gritted her teeth: "Okay!"
Then, the two quickly exited the castle.
They arrived at the square outside.
Looking at the empty square, Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao felt particularly heavy-hearted.
Suddenly!
A spatial ripple appeared on the ground not far away.
A petite figure appeared in the square.
You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
"Yuna?"
Qing Ying exclaimed in surprise.
Tao Xiaoyao was also stunned.
They saw the young Yuna staggering towards them.
Her left eye socket was empty, her left cheek splattered with blood, and her face extremely pale!
Even her steps were unsteady, as if she might collapse at any moment.
"Help, help me..."
Yuna looked at Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao, her eyes brightening slightly, wanting to say something, but her voice was extremely weak.
The two women exchanged a glance and quickly ran over.
"What happened?"
Standing before Yuna, Qing Ying asked, unable to bear the sight.
"Help me give this eye to Big Brother, it, it can counter the Eye of Illusion."
Yuna said weakly, extending her blood-stained delicate hand.
In it lay a blood-soaked ice-blue eyeball!
Although she wanted to find Jiang Chen herself, her life was too fragile. If she encountered the Demon God Lamer, she might be killed instantly.
Yuna knew how much the Demon God hated her!
"This is..."
Seeing the eyeball, Qing Ying's heart skipped a beat.
At the same time, she roughly understood what Yuna meant.
"This eyeball might save Brother Mortal World!"
Qing Ying thought, suppressing her discomfort, and quickly reached for the eyeball.
Her fingertips visibly trembled!
"Let me do it, Sister Qing Ying, you wait here!"
As she spoke, Tao Xiaoyao bit her lower lip and grabbed the eyeball from Yuna's hand.
Then she turned and ran back into the castle.
Immediately, Yuna collapsed to the ground.
"Are you okay?"
Qing Ying was startled and quickly squatted down to ask.
"I'm fine... just need to rest, but it hurts so much..."
Yuna lay on her side, curling up, covering her left eye with her hand, trembling non-stop.
Seeing her in such pain, Qing Ying's heart ached.
She quickly reached out, wanting to hug Yuna, even if it couldn't help much, a little comfort would be good.
But...
【Yuna's favorability towards you is insufficient, intimate contact is not possible!】
A system prompt appeared.
Qing Ying found herself blocked by an invisible force, unable to hug Yuna!
"I'm sorry..."
Qing Ying's mood sank, she didn't dare to look at the little girl anymore.
Even knowing the other was just an NPC, she couldn't help but feel a bit sour in her nose.
Qing Ying sat helplessly beside Yuna, hugging her knees, burying her head deeply.
Meanwhile.
Inside the castle.
Jiang Chen was still entangled with the Demon God Lamer.
He had just discovered that the 【Holy Light Eyes】 he used earlier to create the 【Illusionary Shield】 was still there!
Moreover, it could also block Lamer's black beams!
"Even if I die, I must fight till the last moment!"
Jiang Chen hid behind the transparent shield, blocking two black beams from the Demon God Lamer.
But even so, Jiang Chen's mana was down to 2000 points, and the mana in the crystal bottle was completely depleted!
Moreover, Lamer had started to change positions, moving to the side of the shield!
After all, the Illusionary Shield was just a thin layer, it couldn't block from the side!
"Futile resistance!"
Lamer sneered coldly, activating the eyeball again, shooting a black beam from the side.
-1000!
Seeing the damage above his head, Jiang Chen muttered, "Mana is down to 900 points, health is only about 100... I've done my best."
As he spoke.
A soft voice sounded: "Brother Mortal World!"
"What are you doing here?"
Jiang Chen saw Tao Xiaoyao had somehow returned to the castle and quickly ran over.
"Yuna gave this to you!"
Tao Xiaoyao handed the ice-blue eyeball to Jiang Chen.
【You have obtained the Eye of Truth!】
"Yuna gave this to me?"
Jiang Chen looked at the eyeball in his hand, but before he could ask further.
A black beam had already shot over, hitting Jiang Chen!
But this time, it was different from before.
Jiang Chen only took 500 points of damage!
He saw a white halo light up around the eyeball in his hand.
At the same time, Lamer's shadowy body visibly thinned!
The black thread connecting it to the eyeball in its hand had become intermittent!
"Damn it! The connection between the Eye of Illusion and me is weakening, my power can't transmit properly!"
Lamer roared angrily.
It activated the eyeball again, shooting another black beam at Jiang Chen!
-250!
Jiang Chen's damage was halved again.
"Looks like... your time in the human world is almost up."
Jiang Chen saw his damage reduced by half again, while the Demon God Lamer's body became even thinner.
He was certain the connection was through the Eye of Illusion.
Now, due to the influence of the Eye of Truth, the connection was weakening!
"Human ant!"
Lamer seemed unwilling to give up, shooting another black beam.
-125!
Jiang Chen's damage was halved again.
"Go back to your seal!"
He knew Lamer could no longer kill him.
"Damn ant! I'll remember you, I will personally kill you..."
Lamer's voice grew fainter, its body becoming more transparent, even starting to dissipate.
"Alright, are you going to say you'll be back?"
Jiang Chen pursed his lips, feeling relieved.
He almost didn't make it this time.
Then.
The shadow of the Demon God Lamer completely disappeared, and the eyeball in its hand fell to the ground.
Jiang Chen quickly moved forward and picked it up.
【You have obtained the Eye of Illusion!】
Next, Jiang Chen went to Avis's corpse and picked up his loot.
【You have obtained the Sage's Hat (gold-level)!】
【You have obtained the Cloud Ascending Sword (gold-level)!】
