Chapter 211: Chapter 205: Memories Reappear

“Pay attention to its back,” Kalalin pointed out, Lancelot followed the suggestion and saw a peculiar Portal behind the Eye Demon. The portal was unordinary in that it was not arc-shaped like most, but rather circular; also, the surrounding rock walls were speckled with shining, gem-like spots. Yet a closer look revealed a chilling sight—not jewels, but numerous eyes glittering.

“That must be the portal leading to the Abyss’s Sixth Layer, the Land of Multieyes, a realm belonging to the Eye Demons’ deity ‘Great Matriarch’,” Kalalin whispered, “That Eye Demon must be the portal’s guard. These creatures, like Demons, are from a law-abiding camp; it’s odd they don’t fight these Demons.”

“But this is basically a one-sided massacre,” Bruto interrupted.

The Dwarf’s remark was nearly on the mark. The floating orb carelessly swung its tentacles, a burst of multicolored rays swept across the sky, and the onslaught of Demons kept tumbling out of the air like a ginkgo tree losing its golden leaves in late autumn.

“Are we just going to watch?” Bruto looked up at Lancelot.

“This guy is from a law-abiding camp, right?” Lancelot didn’t directly answer but first asked the Scholar, “If we don’t attack it, will it let us pass?”

“It should... probably,” Kalalin uncertainly said, “My expertise is in Abyss history and Demon sociology, this stuff isn’t in my field of study. Elothysia, have you ever dealt with these creatures?”

“I’ve fought them but never interacted directly,” the Succubus Paladin said, focusing on the battle scene, “Lancelot, Bruto, if a fight breaks out, make sure not to stray too far from me. My Guardian Halo can protect you from the rays emitted by those secondary eyes. Getting close to us should make defeating it not too difficult.”@@@@

“Guardian Halo? What’s that?” the Dwarf curiously asked the Paladin, “Just by standing beside you, those weird rays won’t affect me?”

“Just like this.” Elothysia nodded to him. At that moment, the aura of the Succubus changed—already incredibly beautiful, she now appeared in their eyes like a Victory Goddess, filling everyone with emotions like courage, determination, and confidence.

“Wow!!” Bruto let out a roar and was about to rush forward with his hammer. Lancelot was also intensely stirred, desperate to unleash all his power and slice all the grotesque Eye Demons and brutal Flomos in front of him into pieces, but he still suppressed his impulse and even pulled the Dwarf back.

“A human goddess with golden hair, wielding a spear and a round shield, mostly involved with victory and war,” Lancelot explained, “Have you heard of such a deity?”

“A goddess of the war domain?” Kalalin frowned in thought for a moment, then shook her head confidently, “Not at all, at least there isn’t such a goddess in the main cultures of my world. Isn’t the skull’s brain filled with the most complete encyclopedia of this multiverse? Is there a section about deities in it?”

Cromwell grimaced as he thought hard for a while but didn’t speak, apparently coming up empty.

Just then, Lancelot’s expression suddenly changed, and he immediately pulled out the Giant Sword Glacier from his Dimensional Bag. Along with it came a little girl’s confused head, which Lancelot pressed back in without a word.

All this was because his Spirit Perception suddenly detected a very powerful creature, a terror so immense it rivaled the pressure from a Demon Refinement in the Abyss. It was all because of the red mist lingering around, preventing him from noticing the adversary’s proximity until it was very close.

“Damn it!” the usually graceful Lancelot cursed violently.

The group got a scare from his battle-ready demeanor, but when they looked up, they saw the Eye Demon still happily playing its laser-mosquito game in the distance, and Bruto couldn’t help but ask,

“What’s going on? Any problems?”

“A powerful... a powerful creature is coming,” Lancelot said nervously, his body starting to tremble slightly, “If a fight breaks out, I’ll try to hold it off while you all run!”
