Chapter 1320 - : Chaos Eye (1/2)

Along with the emergence of this scarlet eye, the atmosphere of the entire battle changed dramatically. Even though it was just an eyeball, at a glance, it made one feel as if one were above an incredibly small chessboard and being looked down upon by a giant. It definitely didn’t feel good. Not only did Icy Snow and Bubble realize that something was wrong, but the soldiers and players also felt that terrible things were about to happen.

Under the gaze of the scarlet eye, the sky and land changed in color as though they were smeared in a layer of red blood. As far as the eye could see, everything was drenched in a red that left one dazed and nauseous. Not only that, but under the illumination of the red brilliance, the Chaos creatures also grew larger like inflated balloons. Meanwhile, the soldiers and players on Icy Snow’s side seemingly lost their courage all of a sudden and even became dispirited.

“Hmph. What the hell is that!”

Bubble and Icy Snow had followed Rhode into battle for many years in the game, so they had encountered all sorts of situations. And now, upon witnessing this strange scene, Bubble let out a cold snort. She stretched out her right arm, drew a circle in midair in a swift motion, and clapped her palms together. And along with this action, a pure white aura suddenly expanded in all directions with her in the middle. In the blink of an eye, the white aura shrouded the entire front. The soldiers who were enveloped by the aura were stunned. But soon, they felt the nauseousness that struck them earlier receding instantly. Not only that, but their spirits were also seemingly lifted by a cool, refreshing breeze, and they felt even more courageous. At that moment, they even had the courage to gaze at and battle the endless stream of Chaos creatures!

“This thing sure is spooky. I’m gonna check it out!”

After casting a spiritual spell to banish the effects of that scarlet eyeball, Bubble stared at the scarlet eyeball with an unkind expression. She was aware that something wasn’t right. Based on her personality, when she encountered something so strange, she would definitely want to check things out for a bit.

On the other hand, Icy Snow frowned upon hearing her remarks. Icy Snow knew that the scarlet eyeball was precisely the Chaos Eye and that it had appeared in the past and even spoken to Rhode. Back then, Icy Snow and Bubble were also present, so they knew that the Chaos Eye definitely wasn’t an ordinary foe.

However, not even the king could stop Bubble when her curiosity took over. Besides, they didn’t have any experience dealing with the Chaos Eye in the past. As a player, Bubble was more inclined to fight first and talk later, while Icy Snow was apparently more cautious than that.

They were warned by Rhode to be careful of these strange existences and Bubble naturally disregarded his warnings. Icy Snow obeyed all his words and now, upon seeing the Chaos Eye not only appearing before them, but also launching an attack, she felt like something must be wrong. At that moment, upon seeing Bubble planning to charge ahead with her fists, she reached out and pulled her back hurriedly.

“Wait, Bubble! Big Brother said we must be careful when dealing with the Chaos Eye! We must act cautiously!”

Upon hearing Icy Snow’s dissuasion, Bubble curled her lips in disdain.

“Why should we wait? That fella is already at our doorstep! Are you sure you can defend the place by waiting?”

“That…”

Facing Bubble’s words, Icy Snow was taken aback. At that moment, her ‘space’ ability had enveloped the entire battlefield, so even though she saw that the soldiers were enfolded in the safety of Bubble’s halo under the scarlet brilliance, the Chaos creatures had become much stronger and also rammed into the walls in droves. Although players were around to assist and they were able to defend against Chaos for now, the Chaos creatures seemed much more dangerous now and harder to resist.

“Should we ask Big Brother first…”

“Where are you gonna find the time to do that! Go and ask if you want to! I’ll take care of that stupid eyeball first!”

At that moment, Bubble was clearly disinterested in listening to Icy Snow’s words any further. She shook off Icy Snow’s hand and flew across the sky like a meteor in a dazzling white trajectory, heading straight for the huge, scarlet eyeball in the distant sky. Upon witnessing this scene, Icy Snow became increasingly anxious. And while she called out to Rhode through the spiritual communication, she stared at Bubble uneasily.

No matter how powerful Icy Snow was, she was just an archer, after all, who was inferior in close combat. That was why Bubble could cast a buff on herself and turn into a solid tank, while Icy Snow could only stand in the back and watch helplessly.

Although Bubble was reckless, she wasn’t a fool, after all. She had prepared herself well before charging at the scarlet eyeball. A radiance as blinding as the sun’s erupted from her body and metamorphosed into a light barrier that expanded in all directions, making her presence and attributes of the ‘holy maiden’ known to everyone. Along with the extension of the light barrier, the Chaos creatures were forcibly separated to both sides after ramming into a seemingly transparent wall. The Chaos creatures that couldn’t evade in time were swept into the light barrier and shredded into minced meat as if they entered a giant meat grinder.

At that moment, the scarlet eyeball seemed to sense Bubble’s hostility as well. It turned around and stared at the meteor of light that flew toward it. Before one realized what it did, the scarlet brilliance that originally enveloped the entire battlefield suddenly coalesced into a huge light beam that shot toward Bubble!

“I dare you!”

Looking at the light beam, Bubble rejoiced instead of growing angry. She hovered in midair and clenched her right fist. Along with this action, the white radiance before her coalesced into an elegant ritual circle that spun constantly. Shortly after, along with her snarl, she thrust her right fist forward!

Boom———!

With this attack from Bubble, a blinding meteor beam comparable to the blood-red light beam exploded from the ritual circle, shooting straight at the blood-red beam ahead. In the blink of an eye, everyone present witnessed the beams of red and white clashing with each other. At the next moment, a deafening explosion swept the entire battlefield.

“———!”

Mighty winds blustered and everyone felt their eardrums trembling as though they were covered and could no longer hear anything. Not only that, but strong gales also struck their bodies mercilessly. For a moment, they couldn’t even stand firmly on their feet. But luckily for them, Bubble wasn’t the only cleric present. Upon realizing the situation, a woman donned in a white cleric robe frowned, swung her right arm up in midair, and threw it to the side. Soon after, a barrier flickering in a shining, golden light appeared out of thin air and shielded everyone from the wild storm.

Bubble and the Chaos Eye were in the middle of the messy battlefield now. The devastation of the two colliding light beams was comparable to that of an exploding nuclear bomb. As far as the eye could see, billows of black smoke and filthy dust rose into the sky, while the ground had fissured in ripples. On the other hand, the Chaos creatures were also swept entirely into the explosion. They weren’t that lucky to have the help of players to protect them. Just the aftermath of the clash alone was enough to turn them into powder. Bubble had gone all-out, so in an instant, the whole battlefield trembled in the battle between her and the Chaos Eye.

“Bubble! You idiot!”

Icy Snow cried out in displeasure upon seeing Bubble going head-to-head with the Chaos Eye. Icy Snow was also one of the top players, so she naturally understood the power of Chaos. A contest of strength against Chaos was the most unwise decision for a player. It was especially so when the other party was also the Chaos Eye: a high-level existence of Chaos, according to Rhode.

The power of Chaos must be endless, while Bubble had limited power as a player. Without the need to look, one knew that Bubble’s spiritual power was declining rapidly at that moment. Even if she held on, how long could she last? One day? Two days? A year? Two years? Was it even possible?

At this thought, Icy Snow was so anxious that she couldn’t even bother to contact Rhode again. Instead, she stared at Bubble with wide eyes and uncertainty. The look of worry in those dark pupils was unmistakable.

It turned out just as she feared. A few moments later, the white light beam that erupted from Bubble couldn’t withstand the impact of the red light beam and got pushed back gradually. Looking at this scene, Icy Snow was both furious and nervous. But unfortunately, she couldn’t offer much help now. Although there were other players on the defensive line, in terms of strength, not many of them could compare to Bubble.
