Those enormous black eyes were each the size of a human head.
They densely covered the stone walls throughout the dark cave.
They had no pupils. Like the black eyes of evil ghosts, they were alive, turning faintly.
At that moment, my entire body tensed.
I shouted:
"Master, this cave is full of ghost eyes."
Master had noticed the situation inside the cave as well.
But he remained much calmer:
"Don't panic. Those are all illusory eyes.
Dog Eyes has been here for so long; it's normal for its image to appear on the surrounding stone walls.
That's one of the major characteristics of a ghost domain. It's no big problem.
The real problem is this Black Lotus in front of us.
Even Thunder Method can't harm it.
Too strange. What the hell is this thing...?"
After hearing Master say that, he swung his sword twice more.
But neither strike could harm that Black Lotus...
I glanced around and let out a breath of relief.
So this was a feature of a ghost domain. I had learned something new.
I couldn't help, so I could only stand at a distance and watch.
About another minute passed.
With no other options, Master could only return with the Evil-Slaying Flowing Cloud Sword in hand.
The end of the cave remained exactly as it had been, unchanged in any way.
When Master returned, I asked:
"Master, how are we handling this now?"
Looking annoyed, Master came over to me.
"This thing has to be destroyed.
And I've discovered that that green lotus seed isn't ordinary. It contains powerful life force.
We'd better get it for ourselves.
If we report this directly, apart from the reward we get to split, we won't gain anything else.
I suspect the Black Lotus can only be touched
