Chapter 163 The Seven Great Powers

Chapter 163 The Seven Great Powers

Yes, this "Perception Eye" is the result of his innovation by combining Chishilica's knowledge of the Mystic Eye, the books he has collected over this period, and Rigellud's data on the Mystic Eye.

This can be considered a phased achievement of his research on the "magic eye" during this period.

"Then, come here for a moment."

Alice moved forward a few steps and came to stand in front of Yue Ren.

"Left eye or right eye?"

"The left eye, I guess."

Alice felt it didn't matter which eye she used, but after thinking about it, she decided to use her left eye, so that even if she couldn't use it, it wouldn't have a big impact on her.

"it is good."

A hand covered the girl's left eye. Three seconds later, Yue Ren removed his hand.

"and then?"

The girl looked puzzled. She could only feel the warmth of the other person's palm, but nothing else.

"That's all, it's all over now."

"? Didn't Rudius say that getting an eye transplant would be very painful...?"

'

Rudius, standing to the side, nodded vigorously.

Yes, yes, he endured excruciating pain back then, and bled a lot.

"So, you just touched your eyes and they're fixed?" The boy looked utterly incredulous.

The man from Yue smiled slightly.

"The methods are different. Who says granting a Demon Eye has to be so cruel? Try channeling magic into your left eye; you should be able to see differently."

Alice did as instructed, and the next moment, she felt her vision change. Her left eye suddenly saw many colorful and dazzling things, so bright that she couldn't open it for a moment.

The next moment, a scream was heard and it was shut.

"Alice?!!"

"No, it's nothing, it's just that a lot of light suddenly appeared and it was too dazzling."

"You poured too much magic into it. Those different lights are just different magic and battle aura. Just get used to it little by little. That last moment was no different from being suddenly hit by a flashbang."

It turned out to be the case.

Rudius was relieved. It was just a side effect, just like when he first experienced it, except he felt fine back then.

After listening to Yue Ren's explanation, Alice reduced the amount of magic she was channeling, and sure enough, the light in front of her was no longer so bright. She subconsciously looked at Rudeus and was immediately flashed by the light again.

From this particular perspective, Rudius truly appears to be an autoluminescent being.

"That's Rudeus's magic. Look around at the training, not at us. Rigel's fighting spirit and Rudeus's magic are too much for you right now. You'll have to get used to it slowly."

Seeing the girl's actions, Yue Ren immediately realized what was wrong and added, "It's so dazzling, but Rudeus is really amazing, he actually has such magical power?"

"6

""

"Um, Alice, what kind of magic do I have?"

Rudius couldn't contain his curiosity and asked questions.

"I couldn't see clearly, it felt like everything in front of me turned blue, a huge pillar of light... It's so painful, I can't open my eyes."

Alice seemed to be in a very serious condition; even with her eyes closed, she was still crying incessantly.

"Stop channeling magic, and the effect of the Magic Eye will weaken. Because the Magic Eye has already been activated by the magic channeling, it is no longer related to whether the eyes are open or closed. To avoid being affected, you must control it."

Alice did as instructed and finally began to adjust to the changes in her eyes.

"The training that follows will also test your ability to control magic. You will need to slowly and steadily pour magic into your magic eye, operating it at the lowest possible level, and then gradually adapt to the changing vision. Be sure to practice diligently."

"Understood!"

'

...Big brother, my magic eye...

"Don't even think about it. It's not possible to change it right now, and I don't think it's a good option," said the "Precognitive Eye."

"That's definitely more suitable for you, after all, your profession is a magician."

The Yue people had anticipated Rudius's thoughts, and the latter awkwardly scratched his head and smiled.

"What an amazing power! It can actually grant others the Demon Eye. Yue Ren, don't you plan to use it yourself?"

""

Rijerud, who had witnessed everything, spoke up. He truly hadn't expected this young man to be able to do this; he was practically like an ancient hero.

"How could that be? It's naturally more convenient for me. I can just switch to the appropriate one when needed."

"Big brother, can you switch between Mystic Eyes like that Demon Emperor named Chisilica?"

Rudius was completely stunned.

"Similarly, with my abilities, as long as I prepare the glasses in advance, I can simply switch them on when needed."

"That's amazing!"

Thus, for the rest of her journey, Alice added another item to her daily routine: mastering the use of the Mystic Eyes.

With Rudeus's experience and Yue Ren's precise guidance, Alice began to adapt to this new power very quickly.

Control your magical power and intensity to adapt to the effects of the Mystic Eye at each stage, while also adapting to the sudden transformation into a anatomical diagram.

As the Yue people said, after initially getting used to this special "vision," Alice immediately discovered its benefits.

During her sparring session with Rijkaard, she could clearly see the internal movements of his body: muscle contractions, blood circulation, and the flow of fighting spirit...

The only thing holding her back right now is that she hasn't fully mastered the "Magic Eye" yet, and her own physical movements can't keep up.

This excited Alice greatly, and she immediately planned to fight Rudeus again, using only her Mystic Eyes and swordsmanship.

The result is obvious: as long as the difference in skill level is not too great, Alice's "wildness" is something Rudeus can never handle. When both of them have limited predictability, Alice is often more likely to win in close combat.

Rudeus, who was beaten black and blue, realized once again that Alice always held the highest authority over him in close combat.

His previous smugness was thus completely shattered.

And so, the journey continued amidst a fulfilling life.

One day, Rudeus discovered a strange stone tablet by the roadside at his rest stop.

The object was about knee-high and had strange patterns engraved on its surface.

There are seven shapes surrounding a character. The character in the very center should be the word "seven" from the language of the God of War, right? As for the other shapes, I feel like I've seen them somewhere before, but I don't quite remember them.

Feeling something was off, he decided to ask his most knowledgeable older brother.

"If the Adventurers' Guild's records are correct, it is a stone tablet recording the seven great powers."

Yue Ren was also somewhat enlightened. After nearly half a year, the team had finally encountered something related to the Dragon God Orstide. It seemed that meeting him was not far off, and they had to hurry up and prepare.

"The Seven Great Powers? What are those?"

"They are the seven strongest warriors in the world."

As his elder brother explained in detail, he finally understood what it was.

It is said that this list was selected by a person known as the "God of Techniques" at the end of the Second Human-Demon War.

The God of Skill was considered the strongest person in the world at that time.

These individuals selected the seven strongest people in the world.

As for this stone tablet, it is used to confirm this list.

"Sir, you should know a lot about this...Sir!"

Hearing Keith's shout, Rijrud, who had been training with Alice nearby, also came over.

Upon seeing this, Alice lay down on the spot in a spread-eagle position, panting as she tried to catch her breath.

"The 'Seven Great Powers'? How nostalgic."

Rachel Luther squinted as soon as he saw the stone tablet.

"Do you know what this is, Mr. Rachel Rudd?"

"When I was young, I trained hard, hoping that one day I could also be among the 'Seven Great Powers'."

'

As he answered, he looked into the distance, as if recalling distant memories.

The number one ranked "skill god".

The second-ranked is "Dragon God".

Ranked third, "God of War".

Ranked fourth, "Demon God".

Ranked fifth is "Death".

Ranked sixth, "Sword God".

Ranked seventh, "Northern God".

This seems to be the ranking.

"Wow, that sounds cool. But I've never heard of the 'Seven Great Powers' before."

"Because after the Battle of Laplace, the reputation of the 'Seven Great Powers' faded from the world's attention."

Why is she no longer famous?

"Because of the dramatic changes that occurred during the Battle of Laplace, half of them are now missing."

Besides the legendary strategist, it's said that all seven major powers at the time participated in the Battle of Laplace.

However, three of them died, one went missing, and one was sealed away.

It seems that only the Dragon God survived with all four limbs intact.

Basically, those who were initially considered candidates were moved up the leaderboard, and it took hundreds of years to compete for the lower ranks, yet their abilities were still far from being considered the "strongest".

Moreover, the current top four are all nowhere to be found.

Skill God: Whereabouts unknown.

Dragon God: Whereabouts unknown.

God of War: Whereabouts unknown.

Demon God: Sealed away.

Since the top players who are truly strong are in this situation, they have failed to maintain the basic format that a ranking should have.

Therefore, the "Seven Great Powers" gradually declined and slowly disappeared from people's memories... That's roughly how it is.

Incidentally, the Demon God is probably able to remain on the rankings because he is not dead but sealed away.

"How many people were still alive at that time?"

"Well... even four hundred years ago, the existence of the God of Skill was already questioned, since even back then very few people had ever seen him."

"Ultimately, why did the God of Skill create this ranking system in the first place?"

"I don't know. I've heard it's to find someone who can defeat them, but I don't know the details."

"This stone tablet looks quite ancient; perhaps the order has changed by now."

Rudius offered his opinion, but to his surprise, the elder brother of the Yue people shook his head.

"No, this thing can change automatically through magic."

"Huh? Is that so? What kind of magic trick is it?"

"If I'm not mistaken, based on the information we've gathered so far, it should be dragon magic."

"Could such a massive creature possess such intelligence?"

Rudeus thought of the dragon he had commissioned from the Demon Continent Guild. It looked fierce in the picture, but he had also heard that it was quite intelligent. Could it be that this was the reason it developed magic?

"No, you misunderstood. Dragons are dragons, and dragons are dragons. Dragons are a humanoid race, and their appearance is similar to that of humans. Dragons, on the other hand, are what you're thinking of—winged beasts that can fly. The relationship between the two is roughly that of humans and monkeys."

"

"According to historical records, in ancient times, dragons would tame those dragons that could fly for long periods of time to serve as mounts or companions."

"I see. Then why have we almost never heard of dragons?"

"Part of the reason seems to be the inherent flaw of the dragon race. Although they have great strength, their fertility rate is not high. They can only mate with other dragons and have children during the mating season, which is similar to that of the beast race. At the same time, they usually have only one child per birth, and the gestation period is measured in years."

I see. Indeed, with such a low birth rate and an ancient history, there is a real possibility of extinction.

Their immense power and pitiful birth rate certainly fit the characteristics of a powerful race.

"Another reason is that it seems the dragon race faced a catastrophic crisis, after which the remaining few dragons began to intermarry with other races, and pure dragons are almost non-existent. The lizard man we met on the Demon Continent might have some dragon blood."

"...No way!"

But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem impossible. After all, the dragons in this world are Western dragons, which only have two more wings than lizards, haha, just kidding.

"Of course, there are still powerful dragons, such as the Dragon God of the Seven Great Powers, who should be a pure-blooded dragon. And the aerial fortress that floats in the sky above your Asura Kingdom, whose owner, the Armored Dragon King Pergius, is, in my opinion, also a pure-blooded dragon."

The Dragon God, also known as Boss Dragon, is Rudeus's future boss and arguably the true protagonist of this world. He's forgotten most of the previous plot, but as he continues to dig deeper, it seems he's not far from discovering his true identity.

Just then, Yue Ren suddenly remembered that the reason Rudeus first met the Dragon God and clashed with him seemed to be because of another guy who seemed to be called "Human God".

However, after investigating for so long, it seems he hasn't found anything about this name at all.

"I see, that's amazing, Big Brother knows so much."

"It's nothing. Part of it is historical material that the guild has collected over the years, and the other part is my ability to use some 'old items' to often uncover a lot of stories."

This is an interesting discovery by the Yue people; the history of this world is actually quite fascinating.

He's like a player who's acquired a piece of a jigsaw puzzle, and he has this inexplicable urge to piece it all together, bit by bit.

A month later, Rudius and his companions crossed the great forest.

Next is the Azure Dragon Mountain Range.

There is a town at the entrance of the valley that runs through the Azure Dragon Mountains.

This town is a street of inns run by miners, and there is no adventurers' guild.

However, it seems to be a famous blacksmith town, with one weapon shop and armor shop after another.

The Miners are similar to the Dwarves in the otherworld from my previous life. They deal with things like ores and mountains, and almost every adult male is proficient in forging.

Therefore, the swords sold here were not only cheap but also of good quality, which Alice found very tempting.

According to the guild's intelligence, this appears to be a fork in the road.
