Cultivation Through Artifacts

Chapter 15: Heaven's Eyes

[Which one will you desire?]

The moment the very first sentence sounded in Khal’s head, he felt like time slowed down to a crawl.

Everything before his eyes, turned to snail slow pace, while sentences with foreign meaning emerged in his mind one after another.

After a few seconds of waiting in silence because of surprise, the voice appeared in his head once again, but this time with a deeper tone of voice.

[Which one will you desire?]

Realizing that the unknown voice, which was neither masculine nor feminine, was talking to him, Khal instantly came back to his senses and looked at the sight before him.

Watching as Liza’s neck was slowly being pierced by the black knife, while blood oozed out from the wound even though time flowed slower, Khal clenched his teeth with pure anger and thought.

“I don’t know what is happening currently, but this thing… It wants to help me! I don’t care what consequences there will be, but I will seize it! I won’t let anything be taken away from me ever again!”

With that solid thought in mind, Khal’s expression turned serious, and with clenched teeth, he said instantly, “I want Heaven’s Eyes!”

[Understood… ‘Power Core: Heaven’s Eyes’ has been chosen…]

[Warning! Distance between the ‘Obtainer’ and the ‘Power Core’ is currently too great. Utilize ‘Magnetism’?]

“I don’t know what that is, but if it helps me, yes, use it! Just hurry up!”, thought Khal angrily.

[Understood… Utilizing ‘Magnetism’…]

[Warning! Through obtaining ‘Power Core: Heaven’s Eyes’ and utilizing ‘Magnetism’, the owner will end up with 0 amount of ‘Essence’. Do you still wish to continue?]

“YES!”

[Understood… Ability ‘Magnetism’ active… Ability ‘Core Obtainer’ active…]

*Bam!*

With a loud explosion, the bracelet on Khal’s wrist lit up with blinding white light, making the two assassins to stop moving and look toward Khal’s direction in an instant.

“What is happe-, eh?”

However just before the assassin who wanted to kill Liza could have finished his sentence, suddenly the bluish jewel which was embedded in the middle of his mask started to tremble like crazy.

*Crack!*

The jewel’s trembling was so great, that bit by bit small cracks started to form on the mask’s surface, making the assassin to act instantly.

“!”

However just as he could have grabbed the jewel and stop it from further trembling, the bluish stone moved.

Just like a bullet bursting out from a gun, it broke out from the mask’s surface, making it to break into numerous pieces instantly.

*Swish!*

With a speed that looked like a flash, the bluish stone appeared before Khal and like thunder, it exploded into the small gap on the middle of his bracelet.

[‘Power Core: Heaven’s Eyes’ obtained…]

[Starting ‘Fusion’…]

*BAM!*

With a loud eruption, blue light broke out from the bracelet, while the same colored light started to swirl inside Khal’s body and veins like small snakes.

“Something is not right!”, said the guy whose mask was broken, and stood up instantly.

The other man who was pushing Liza down to the ground, seeing the sudden changes knocked her unconscious and stood up slowly in an instant.

When the two stood up and noticed as Khal’s body started to leak presence which had just obtained a Cultivation Talent, they looked at him with perplexed expressions, unknown how to react.

“Didn’t Young Master tell you that he was Talentless?”

“He did.”, answered the maskless man with a serious nod.

“Then what is happening right now? It is quite obvious that he is currently using a Cultivation Talent, so was it only a fake rumor?”, asked the man as he watched Khal standing up slowly from the ground, while blue light was swirling inside him through his skin.

“I… don’t know either.”, said the man unknowingly, and while tightening his grip on the knife’s hilt in his hand he continued, “However, I don’t really care if he has a Cultivation Talent or no. I will still kill him!”

With that said, the man raised his hand over his shoulder, and with a powerful swing, he threw the knife forward, aiming right at Khal’s heart.

“DIE!”

Like a laser beam, the knife flew through the air, and under a single second, it reached Khal, ready to pierce his heart and end his life for all eternity.

However, just as the weapon could have reached him, Khal raised his hand before his chest, piercing his palm instead of his heart.

“!”

Seeing this, both assassins were shocked, but before they could have done anything else, the light inside Khal’s body vanished, making his presence to turn back to normal.

[‘Fusion’ completed!]

[‘First Staged: Heaven’s Eyes’ active!]

*BOOM!*

As the final voice sounded in his head, a small power broke out from Khal’s body, making the ground below his feet to form small and wide cracks in an instant.

“…”

Feeling the power surging throughout his whole body, especially in his eyes, Khal raised his head and opened his eyes slowly.

Instantly, a pair of sky blue eyes got reflected in the moon’s light, with a vertical slit in the middle, whose color was not black, but crimson red.

Just looking at those eyes made one feel immense pressure. It was like before those eyes no one could hide a single thing away no matter what kind of trick they would try.

It felt like that everything before them was absolute and undeniable!

But naturally, these things were only feelings and the maskless man knew this too. As a result, he took out another knife from his robe and waved it around.

“Don’t think you are someone just because you have obtained a bit of power, brat!”

However, Khal didn’t respond at all to the man’s blabbering, but instead, he glanced at the knife which was deeply pierced right through his palm.

“Strange…”, thought Khal with a deep frown as he looked at the knife in his hand. The reason why was because the moment he obtained those eyes, his sight became quite strange and changed completely.

Not only did his vision became several times clearer but when he started to concentrate on something, suddenly his sight expanded, making him able to feel its figure, shape, and every small detail from every angle.

For example, the weapon he was currently watching. Even though he couldn’t see what the knife’s back looked like, a picture formed inside his head showing him just what its true appearance was from behind.

He saw two things at once, one with his eyes and one in his head. These two feelings created a kind of sensation which were quite strange and hard to describe, yet they made Khal feel extremely relaxed.

While getting used to this unusual feeling, Khal grabbed the knife’s end firmly, and with a sudden force, he pulled it out.

“Argh…”

Clenching his teeth together because of the sudden and sharp pain he felt inside his palm, Khal slowly turned his gaze at Miss Mary’s corpse on the ground.

Seeing her lifeless corpse and head in the distance, Khal’s already darkened expression turned even darker in an instant.

Even though he didn’t get to know Miss Mary well because of the small amount of time he got to spend in this world, she was very kind to him.

Hundred times kinder than his own mother in his former life.

“She didn’t deserve this ending…”, said Khal in an ice-cold tone.

Clenching his injured palm into a tight fist, he raised his other hand and pointed the knife’s tip at the two assassins in the distance.

With a piercing glare and visible bloodlust, Khal turned his sky blue eyes toward the two men and opened his mouth slowly.

“You will pay for what you have done today…”
