"The Second Eye Ring has reached saturation. Its level can now be increased. Upgrade?"
When Xia Zuo received this message, he was immediately surprised. He had accumulated a great deal of magical knowledge before, yet it had never reached saturation, and he had almost given up. He had not expected the Second Eye Ring to reach saturation after he acquired Kaecilius's knowledge of dark magic. This was completely beyond his expectations.
But there was nothing bad about this for Xia Zuo. An Eye Ring reaching saturation meant he could raise its level, and every level gained would grant him another Dōjutsu and increase his strength. For Xia Zuo, there were nothing but benefits!
"Upgrade!"
With that thought, Xia Zuo spoke directly to the Ultimate Eye in his mind. In an instant, a faint layer of runes covered the Second Eye Ring of the Ultimate Eye totem, making it deeper and more intricate. A warm current slowly arose from the Ultimate Eye and flowed toward his eyes.
In an instant, Xia Zuo felt warmth envelop his eyes. When he opened them again, a vermilion, cross-shaped Rune Magic array had appeared in both eyes.
The second ability of the Second Eye Ring's Magic Eye: Annihilation Eye, unlocked!
"It's actually this ability! I've really hit the jackpot!"
Joy immediately rose in Xia Zuo's heart. Ever since he learned that his Second Eye Ring was the Magic Eyes, the Annihilation Eye had been the Dōjutsu he most looked forward to!
The Annihilation Eye was one of the five great Magic Eyes. Like the Copy Eyes, it caused vermilion runes to appear in the eyes when activated. However, the runes of the Annihilation Eye's magic array formed a cross rather than a pentagram. Its characteristics were devouring magic and eating people to gain energy, and it could nullify all magic.
Those who possessed the Annihilation Eye could absorb magic they came into contact with or feed on other creatures to greatly enhance their physical abilities and rapidly heal injuries, even fatal ones. Under certain circumstances, their movement speed could even approach teleportation.
However, the Annihilation Eye also had some flaws. Its wielder could not use magic, which put them at a disadvantage against enemies who did not use magic.
Its wielders were considered the most difficult to deal with among the wielders of the five kinds of Magic Eyes, as well as the furthest removed from the definition of a normal human. They were often called "demons."
That was what Xia Zuo remembered about the Annihilation Eye. It was an extraordinarily powerful ability. Although he could not use magic while the Annihilation Eye was active, anyone with magic would face the same restriction before it. The Annihilation Eye could be called magic's bane. Against mages, Xia Zuo already stood undefeated.
On the other hand, Xia Zuo also had the Copy Eyes Dōjutsu, which could copy numerous spells. His magic could already be considered unbeatable, and he felt he now had a sliver of strength with which to contend even with the Ancient One.
"Getting distracted in combat is a cardinal mistake. To make sure you remember this lesson, be a good boy and die!"
Just as Xia Zuo was considering the Annihilation Eye's abilities, Kaecilius moved, appearing before him in an instant.
There was no way he would fail to seize such an opportunity. He swung his transparent magic sword straight at Xia Zuo, believing that this slash would finish off his hateful opponent.
"A fierce attack, but magic that doesn't work is completely meaningless."
Facing the magic sword already slashing toward him, Xia Zuo showed no panic whatsoever. There was even a hint of mockery in his expression. The vermilion, cross-shaped runes in his eyes lit up instantly. The Annihilation Eye activated!
In an instant, the magic sword in Kaecilius's hand collapsed. The magical power within it turned into a thin stream and was immediately swallowed by the Annihilation Eye. Xia Zuo instantly felt his strength increase a little.
"What is this? Why did my magic sword collapse all of a sudden?!"
Kaecilius's expression changed drastically, and he immediately retreated as though avoiding something venomous, as if Xia Zuo were some venomous snake or savage beast!
That sensation just now had been too frightening. He had felt his magic sword collapse in an instant, and even sensed that the magical power inside him had become somewhat unstable. The feeling was terrifying, as though it might collapse at any moment. Kaecilius was deeply wary.
"What exactly did you do?!"
Kaecilius watched Xia Zuo warily. He was certain Xia Zuo was behind it, because Xia Zuo was the only other person here. He would never believe that it was not his doing.
"Perhaps even heaven thinks you're unworthy of using magic."
Xia Zuo looked at Kaecilius with a faint, ambiguous smile. He would never tell an enemy about his abilities. That was the stupidest thing to do, though there was no harm in mocking him a little.
"Didn't you want to kill me? I've given you a chance. Why aren't you coming?"
The smile gradually faded from Xia Zuo's face as he looked coldly at Kaecilius. He had not come here to mock Kaecilius. He had come to kill him!
In an instant, Xia Zuo became a blur and charged at Kaecilius. Before Kaecilius could react, Xia Zuo's fist was already swinging toward his face.
Boom!
In an instant, Xia Zuo's punch sent Kaecilius flying, smashing him straight into the wall and leaving a hole in it!
