Chapter 212 - 212 Xu Yuan Has Tricked Me Again
The image projected by the Evil Eye was like a live broadcast.
Xu Yuan looked at the corner. A transformed Evil Eye was staring at them! “It’s true, he said. “It’s being broadcasted from this side.”
Xu Yuan flew to the Evil Eye and covered the Eye.
“It’s gone!” said Su Wan. “It went dark the moment you covered its Eye!”
“I think I understand now,” said Su Wan.
She led a transformed Evil Eye to the Dark Castle and left it there.
She returned to where the other Evil Eyes were gathered. “Can you show us what the other Evil Eye sees?”
The Evil Eye she was talking to did not have a head to nod and show its understanding. Instead, its eye began to glow, and a ray shot out to form a projection. It showed everything from the perspective of the Evil Eye inside the Dark Castle!
Su Wan was excited. “It works!”
She had felt that the Evil Eyes as a troop type was a disappointing reward. However, she didn’t expect them to be so useful after being enhanced by the Demonic Dragon’s Blessing.
The Evil Eyes had unlimited possibilities!
The Evil Eyes could be used to communicate in real-time.
“It’s like a video call. If we “call” the Evil Eye, which is in the Dark Castle, it can show us everything in real-time.”
Su Wan was worried that Xu Yuan might not understand some of the things, like “video call” and “TV”. She tried to explain to him in detail.
She was unaware that Xu Yuan understood her perfectly. He also understood the value of Evil Eyes now.
Su Wan waited for a little while to recover. She wanted to try the Demonic Dragon’s Blessing on her other troops.
She activated the ability. This time, she decided to use it on the Dark Dragon Knight. She wished for a Dark Dragon Knight to turn into Dark Dragon Knight General so that her dream of creating the Ultimate Dragon Knight would come true.
However, when she activated the ability this time, she didn’t feel her energy drain away like before. She remembered that she had collapsed to the ground both times when she had used the same ability on the Evil Eyes.
“Is it because I didn’t activate the ability successfully this time?” said Su Wan. She looked at Xu Yuan.
Su Wan considered another possibility. Maybe the ability was ineffective against the Dark Dragon Knights.
“Something is wrong!” said Su Wan. “How can the ability be ineffective?”
She remembered that Xu Yuan had used the ability on the Dark Dragon Knights before. After using it on them, fusing them in the Dark Arena had given them the Ultimate Dragon Knight!
The Dark Dragon Knights couldn’t be immune to the ability!
“I can’t use my ability on them!” said Su Wan. “Is that why it’s not consuming any of my energy?”
Su Wan couldn’t understand what was wrong. Xu Yuan only gave an ambiguous answer. “Maybe…”
Xu Yuan knew perfectly well why she couldn’t use the ability. The Demonic Dragon’s Blessing shouldn’t consume too much of Su Wan’s energy anyway. She had used it in the tournament without any problem.
Xu Yuan saw how she struggled. She had collapsed twice already. So, he modified the ability once again to consume less energy.
As for why it didn’t work on Dark Dragon Knights, perhaps it was just a coincidence.
Su Wan couldn’t believe it. She tried to use the ability on the Golden behemoth. However, it was the same! Her ability didn’t work. The Golden behemoth didn’t transform into Black Gold Behemoth.
“Maybe… the less energy it consumes, the lower the chance of the ability to work on the troops…,” said Xu Yuan.
Su Wan decided to try it on the Skeletal Soldiers. But before Su Wan could even use the ability, the whole territory shook.
“What’s going on?’ she said. “Is it an earthquake?”
Su Wan was a little flustered.
However, Xu Yuan was keenly aware that it wasn’t an earthquake. A special force from the underground had hit the surface.
“It’s under the territory,” said Xu Yuan.
“Aren’t the ruins of the ancient empire under our territory?!” said Su Wan. Her breath came out raggedly.
The Sunken City, a part of the ancient empire, had appeared under their territory before. It was a pity that the formidable ancient empire was only a ruin now. In the past, it had technology that could fly in space and sail to the deepest part of the sea.
Su Wan and the others had discovered the ruins and explored them.
“Has it reappeared?” asked Su Wan.
She still vividly remembered how the ruins had looked. She had thought that she might not get to see them ever again at that time.
However, it seemed like the ancient empire had resurfaced.
‘We didn’t explore it properly last time. This time, we have to plan well!’ thought Su Wan, getting excited about the prospect.
Last time, she had been stressed about the Inter-Campus Tournament and was preparing for it. So, she wasn’t able to focus properly on the ruins.
Su Wan resolved that this time would be different. The tournament had ended. She had won! Her next goal would be to meticulously explore the ruins of the ancient empire.
“This is good,” said Xu Yuan. “We need to plan well this time. I think it will be good if we can make use of the ruin to expand our territory.”
Su Wan was glad that Xu Yuan agreed. However, his words shocked her.
