Chapter 152 Control and Results

The other three turned to look at the Yue people upon hearing this, their bewildered expressions genuine.

"Yue Ren, what do you mean by that? Are you saying you can also grant others demonic eyes?"

"Yes, just like Rudeus obtained the Mystic Eyes, except that I obtained knowledge related to the Mystic Eyes, which of course includes the method of creating and bestowing Mystic Eyes upon others. However, I haven't fully understood it yet and need some time."

What is this person saying? This level of technology is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, yet he actually obtained it and claims he can replicate it?

Wow, that's incredible! Is this what genius is all about?!

The three were completely dumbfounded. Rudeus began to realize that his Yue brother was actually some kind of genius scientist, the kind of person with incredible "thinking power"?

"Then, could you get me a magic eye later?"

"Once I fully understand this knowledge, it will most likely be possible."

He is already able to use magic and can also "transform without effort" his body, so as long as he understands the corresponding techniques clearly, it should not be a problem to replicate them by slightly modifying them to his own way.

"Amazing!!!"

"I want it."

And so, having appeased the excited Alice by granting her request, the matter was temporarily put to rest.

The next day, because Rudeus needed to adapt to the Magic Eye, Yue Ren went to the old man on his behalf to inquire about the time of the next ship.

Fortunately, the result was encouraging enough; a cargo ship will be heading to the continent of Milis in another week.

After inquiring about the time and login details, Yue Ren readily paid for the boat tickets and even spent an extra green ore coin to upgrade the room for the group.

After all, it was a cargo ship. After inquiring, we found out that even if they paid, they could only squeeze into a warehouse full of people. You can imagine how uncomfortable that scene must have been.

So, in order not to compromise themselves, the Vietnamese used their financial power to persuade the captain to contribute the captain's cabin.

During this week, the people were not idle.

First was Rudeus, who used this time to master the newly acquired Mystic Eye.

According to him, it wasn't particularly difficult.

Controlling the Mystic Eyes with magic is similar to using magic without chanting, something he has done countless times before – using magic to create the "visible scene".

Although initially at a loss, progress was rapid after realizing there were two focal points, and it took three days to finally stabilize the situation.

Another focus is on length, or rather, distance.

By channeling magic into the area in front of your eyes, you can adjust how far into the future you want to see.

The test results showed him that the longest possible time in the future was about one second from now.

Of course, by pouring in more magic, one can even see the future two seconds into the future. However, although one can see it, the image will shake, and two or three images will appear at the same time, probably because the future is constantly changing.

In a total of seven days, the boy successfully mastered his precognitive eye to a certain level. The next step in his training was to combine his enhanced vision with his precognitive eye, which was, to be honest, quite difficult.

After all, it involves controlling two eyes simultaneously in different ways to activate the effect. Without the ability to multitask, it can be quite troublesome. Moreover, in actual combat, in addition to controlling the eyes, other actions are also required. At that time, it's not just multitasking; multitasking is quite normal.

These are the combat techniques that Rudeus has discovered. If he masters them, his strength will likely be no less than that of those renowned powerhouses.

Even now, with the technology and knowledge bestowed upon him by the Yue people, Rudeus could easily overwhelm Alice with just his swordsmanship.

So Rachel Rudd suggested that he fight Alice.

Rudeus guessed that he might want to confirm how useful the Mystic Eyes would be in battle, or perhaps he wanted to see the results of the special training.

Because fighting Iris would allow him to achieve two goals at once, Rudeus readily agreed, as he also wanted to test his current level.

The group moved to the beach, and in the presence of Rachel Rudd, the two confronted each other with wooden sticks they had picked up from the roadside.

"You think you can beat me just because you have the Magic Eye?!"

Alice is more confident than ever today, which suggests she has achieved something significant this week.

"It's okay if I lose, because I just want to see how much of the situation I can observe during the battle."

We won't use magic in today's match; we just want to confirm the results.

"Hmph, that's very much in Rudeus's style, but..."

'

Alice was speaking when an image appeared before Rudeus's eyes.

[Alice suddenly punched with her left fist.]

Without the ability to foresee the future, or with enhanced vision enhanced by magic, Rudeus probably wouldn't have had time to react.

Alice possesses an innate talent, especially in preemptive strikes.

"drink!"

"I'm outta here!"

He carefully observed Alice's movements before dodging, and then counterattacked, striking her hard on the side of her face.

Next video.

[Ellie showed no fear, continuing her barrage of attacks with the wooden stick in her right hand.]

This is Alice's strength; no matter how many attacks she receives, she will never back down but will continue to launch the next wave of attacks.

In addition, her lower body is stable, so minor injuries will not cause her body to sway. On the contrary, the more damage she suffers, the more internal pressure she will experience, and her aggression will also increase.

"Hey!"

"Take this!"

Alice struck her wrist with increased force and released the wooden stick.

If it were the old him, he would probably think the outcome was already decided, because at least during the time he trained with Gilead, the moment the sword was knocked away was already considered a defeat.

However, the images he was seeing at that moment were not like that at all.

[Alice is ready to begin the next step.]

In other words, it's a feint.

She deliberately released the wooden stick, trying to lull Rudius into a false sense of security.

[Alice swung her left fist at his chin.]

This was her signature Bereas style of boxing; she deliberately dropped her weapon to lure him into a lapse in concentration, then switched to her usual hand-to-hand combat combos.

"There's an opening in the ground."

Before Alice's foot could touch the ground, the magic-enhanced legs swept her down, causing her to miss her punch and fall to the ground.

However, she doesn't seem to have given up yet.

[Alice braced herself against the ground, using the reaction force and centrifugal force to shift into a face-up position while biting his right foot.]

"oops!"

As he lowered his foot, he bent his knee and pressed it against Alice, blocking her movements.

Alice, who had previously struggled to turn her body to try and bite him, was now in an even more contorted position, with one hand pinned down by her own body and one leg bent and stuck under her buttocks.

While Rudius was still wondering what kind of resistance she would continue to mount, it turned out that she could only writhe and struggle.

She tried to strengthen her resistance with her fighting spirit, but her fighting spirit was no match for Rudeus's powerful magic.

That's all.

The referee's voice rang out.

Alice relaxed completely.

I won... Did I really win?

Rudeus was somewhat excited, after all, this was the first time he had defeated Alice in close combat without using magic.

"I've completely lost..."

'

Alice, unusually cheerful, looked up at Rudeus.

The latter moved her feet away, slowly stood up, and vigorously brushed the dust off her body.

[Alice throws a punch.]

He caught the punch with his hand, and Alice immediately put on an unhappy expression.

"6

"I'm going back!"

The angry girl announced this loudly, then walked straight towards the inn, her shoulders still trembling.

Rudius, still feeling smug, secretly realized something was wrong; this had made her lose confidence.

"Alice is still a child."

Rachel Rudd said this as he watched Alice leave.

"This is a reaction appropriate for someone your age."

After Rudius answered in this way, Rijrud turned around, looked into his eyes, and nodded.

"That combo was really cool."

"Anyone with the Magic Eye can do it."

Rudeus believed he understood this clearly, though he owed some credit to his training. However, in this world, there were many people with similar physical abilities to him.

Therefore, as long as one can obtain the Demon Eye, it is likely that everyone can achieve the performance just now.

However, Rachel Rudd rejected this answer.

"That's not the case. The so-called Demon Eye is not something that can be quickly controlled once you get your hands on it."

Is that so?

Rudeus was taken aback. Was mastering the Mystic Eye some kind of difficult thing?

"In the past, there were also people in the Spelud warriors who possessed the Mystic Eyes, but that person always wore an eyepatch and never managed to control the Mystic Eyes until their death. So, you, who were able to control them in just one week, are considered an anomaly."

Really? Is that so? Oh, I see.

That makes sense, after all, Rudeus worked very hard to control his magic, which is why he was able to master the Mystic Eyes in just one week.

Really? Really? Can't anyone be as fast as him? *Pfft*

His ego swelled, and he suddenly had a bold idea.

"Maybe I could even beat Mr. Rachel Rudd now."

"Want to give it a try?"

Rudius accepted the offer.

The Yue people who had been silent all along shook their heads at this sight. To put it bluntly, the blond-haired boy had become too proud of himself.

Although he did acquire a lot of "cheat codes" during this period, he was still too inexperienced compared to someone like Rijrud who had hundreds of years of combat experience.

Please give me your guidance.

Rachel Luther put the pistol aside and assumed a fighting stance with his bare hands.

"Or, you could use magic."

"No...

"...This is a rare opportunity, I think I can do it barehanded."

"6

'

The Yue man, who was not far away, put down the sheet music he was looking at, silently took out his phone, and turned on the video recording function.

Before Rudius could finish speaking, images of the future appeared before his eyes.

[Rigid Rudd's palm came towards him.]

It's visible.

Rudius was secretly delighted; he could even see Rijkaard's movements, which meant he had a way to deal with it.

"oops!"

To block his attack, Rudius stretched his hand forward.

[His hand was grabbed by the other person.]

The vision of the future made him instinctively pull his hand away; he knew all too well what it meant to be grabbed by the body during a fight with Mr. Ridge Rudd.

At that very moment, the image changed.

[Rigid's fist struck him in the face.]

Two images appeared before my eyes, representing two different futures.

One scenario is that Rajirud grabs his hand, and the other is that Rajirud punches him in the face.

The two future images almost overlap, yet they are slightly different.

Rudius's brain went blank: Why? The future a second from now shouldn't be off...

His confusion lasted only a second.

"Whoa!"

Finally, he leaned back and barely managed to avoid it.

[Rigid Rudd punches him in the face.]

He could see him throw a punch, see it clearly, but he had already lost his balance.

Even if one could know Rajirude's next move in advance, it would be impossible to take evasive action.

"Ugh!"

Rachel Rudd aimed her fist at his nose... and punched him hard.

Rudius's head hit the sand, then he rolled over and fell face down.

it's over!

The recording stopped, and the last image on the phone was Rudeus's face being distorted by the blow, which was quite comical.

As he expected, Rudeus's Magic Eyes ultimately had limitations. Rather than being a "precognitive eye," it was more like a "predictive eye," using its superior computational advantage to present the user with the possibilities that were about to appear. In the end, it was not about predicting the future, otherwise Rudeus would not have hesitated at the end.

This "magic eye" is almost useless against truly powerful people, since battles between truly strong individuals are often decided in a mere instant.

With such a short wind-up, it's impossible to predict what the enemy's next move will be.

In other words, while one "possibility" is being generated, countless other possibilities are also emerging almost simultaneously.

"Is it over?"

Upon hearing Rajirud's question, Rudius realized that he had already lost.

"Okay, I give up."

When I first saw the footage, I thought I could win, but it seems the actual battle wasn't that simple after all. Ugh, my face hurts. This is the price of arrogance.

"Now you should understand, right?"

Rudius grabbed the hand that Rigellud extended and, with his help, got up.

"I don't understand. The image of the future suddenly shifted; what did you do?"

"I don't know what you saw... I just decided that if you reached out to defend, I would grab your hand, and if you didn't, I would just hit you, that's all."

So that's how it is.

If you can predict his actions, you'll have a way to deal with them.

Because of the difference in basic strength, it is meaningless even if he can see the future one second in advance. Taking shogi as an example, it is probably the kind of situation where even if an amateur can see the opponent's next move, he still has no chance of beating a master.

The inhabitants of this world all possess exceptional abilities, and there must be many who can perform actions like Rijkaard's.

"Furthermore, I've fought against opponents with the same Mystic Eyes before, so ever since then, I've always adopted a fighting style that assumes I'm facing the same situation. In other words, there's a gap in experience."
