In the hazy night, a monster stretched its body in the darkness.
Gears of every color, some as large as houses and others as small as teacups, formed an enormous mass. An eyeball emerged in the center of every gear.
Multicolored light gathered in the eyeballs, setting the gears in motion.
They spun faster and faster.
Clack, clack-clack!
The grinding of the gears rang out without end.
Although it differed from the Beast of Desire Qin Ran knew, he was certain that the monster before him was a Beast of Desire-one in another form.
Although he had already seen Evil Eyes that could be created without the Eye of Kemeris, Qin Ran was still astonished to see a Beast of Desire brought into being this way.
And Qin Ran had no intention of hiding his astonishment.
Aiga therefore saw it all.
"Surprised?"
"Are you surprised to see a Beast of Desire?"
"That's right. The Eye of Kemeris shattered because of that fool Bartos's recklessness, but my talent let me copy another one. It isn't as powerful as the original, but it still retains some of its properties!"
Aiga's voice remained gentle, and even its smile stayed unchanged, but its expression unwittingly grew cold.
"Or are you surprised that we share the same bloodline? My older brother? Or perhaps my younger brother? What a dilemma!"
"I only just learned that another bloodline of the Royal Family had survived. But that makes sense! That person would never put all their eggs in one basket. They were bound to keep another option in reserve!"
"But do you know something?"
"Your appearance has obstructed my plans!"
It continued speaking.
Its face had become utterly frosty, and its voice brimmed with murderous intent.
Copy the Eye of Kemeris?
In other words...
*These were all created
