The swordsman, the beholder, didn't make a move. Instead, he snorted coldly and said:
"What do you take me for? As a knight, I would never lay a hand on an old person or a child."
After saying that, the swordsman, Eye Demon, sheathed his longsword, turned, and left.
This result surprised Tenkuji Takeru. Watching the departing figure of the swordsman, the Eye Demon, Tenkuji Takeru seemed to be deep in thought.
"This beholder seems a little different from the others."
When Yamauchi saw this, he was completely dumbfounded. He didn't expect that this swordsman, the Eye Demon, would be so particular, stopping his attack on the spot just because he saw a child.
After 660 left the battlefield, the swordsman Eye Demon was quickly approached by Igor.
Igor looked at the unharmed swordsman, the Eye Demon, and asked:
"Why did you come back empty-handed? How's the collection of Eye Souls going?"
The swordsman beholder shook his head and said:
"There were children at the scene just now, so the fight didn't break out."
Upon hearing this, Igor's brows furrowed immediately, and he said in a cold voice:
"What did you say? You're not going to fight because there's a child involved? It's just a human child; if it dies, it dies. What are you worried about?"
The swordsman with the bewitching eyes shook his head and explained:
Chapter 358 Your Highness, I think that regarding the matter of befriending the Eye Demon...
“I have no qualms, but as a knight, I cannot lay a hand on children or the elderly; that is the code of chivalry.”
"Don't worry, Lord Igor, I'll stake my knighthood on defeating that Kamen Rider next time."
Upon hearing this, Igor frowned even more deeply and said through gritted teeth:
"What if another child appears next time? As a beholder, you don't need to worry about so much. In my opinion, your thinking is utterly unreasonable. You don't actually think you're some kind of knight, adhering to some chivalrous code, do you? It's ridiculous!"
The swordsman, the Eye Demon, lowered his head slightly, his fists clenched, and said:
“Lord Igor, I hope you will take back your words. As a knight, I will not allow anyone to insult the spirit of chivalry.”
The swordsman's words completely enraged Igor.
"This is outrageous! You're my subordinate, and I can't even say a few words to you? You actually dare to lecture me?! Are you trying to teach me how to do my job?!"
As he spoke, Igor's right hand glowed with purple light, and he slammed it directly into the swordsman's eye demon's body.
The next second, the swordsman beholder was controlled by Igor.
Igor snorted coldly and said indifferently:
"The most important thing is the result, not the process. No matter what means you use, you have to get me the Eye Soul, or you can go back to the Eye Demon world! This is the final ultimatum, understand?!"
The swordsman's voice changed, becoming extremely cold, and he replied indifferently:
“I understand, Lord Igor.”
On the other side, after the battle, Tenkuji Takeru returned to the Great Tenkuji Temple and ran into Shirase Mariko as soon as he entered the hall.
Seeing Tenkuji Takeru approach, Shirase Mariko asked, "
"Your Excellency, how did the battle go? Did you defeat the Eye Demon?"
Tenkuuji Monk shook his head and said:
"No, that guy escaped from novel group 37. But this Eye Demon is a rather interesting guy. He reminds me a bit of Little Qiu. Maybe we can get to know each other and become friends."
Upon hearing Tenkuji Takeru's assessment of the Eye Demon, Yamauchi Misaki, who had returned with him, said with a serious expression:
“Your Highness, I think you should be more cautious about making friends with a beholder. Little Kyubey is a special case; not every beholder is like him.”
Tenkuuji nods and says:
"I understand, I will be cautious."
Changing the subject, Tenkuji Takeru asked where Tsukimura Akari had gone.
Shirase Mariko beckoned mysteriously to Tenkuji Takeru and Yamauchi, signaling them to follow her, and then led the two to the basement.
"While you were fighting the Eye Demon, we made great progress."
"Significant progress? Have you found a way to reach the world of the Eye Demons (the King's)?"
Upon hearing Shirase Mariko's words, Tenkuji Takeru's face lit up with surprise.
Shirase Mariko nodded and said:
"We have indeed found a way, but we are not sure if it will work, so we called you over to give it a try."
Upon arriving at the basement, Tenkuji Takeru discovered a device in the open space. The device's wiring was connected to a helmet, which Kyubey was wearing and drawing.
Chapter 359 After transforming, Tenkuji Taken a deep breath
Chapter 360 Upon hearing this, a hint of reminiscence flickered in Alan's eyes.
Izzy shook her head, indicating that she had no clue either.
On the other side, just as Takeru Tenkuji finished treating his wounds, Makoto Fukami arrived.
Seeing that Takeru Tenkuuji was injured, Makoto Fukami asked with concern:
"what happened to you?"
Tenkuji-sama shook his head and said:
"It's nothing, I just accidentally bumped my forehead."
Seeing Makoto Fukami's serious expression, Takeru Tenkuji's heart skipped a beat, sensing something was wrong.
With a guess in mind, Tenkuuji Takeru asked:
"Brother Makoto Fukami, could it be that you... want to..."
Makoto Fukami nodded and said:
"We can't delay any longer. I need to go to the Eye Demon World as soon as possible to settle this matter. I've already spoken to Lu Chen, and he will help take care of Hana. Xiao Zun, I owe you so much. I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to repay you. I hope you can promise me one thing: if I really can't come back, please take good care of Hana. Is that okay?"
Tenkuuji Takeru's mouth agape, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, finally nodding heavily and saying:
"Don't worry, Makoto Fukami, I will definitely take good care of Kanon."
Tenkuuji Takeru concealed the fact that they were already researching a journey to the Eye Demon World, because he knew that whether it succeeded or failed, it would be pointless to tell Fukami Makoto.
Makoto Fukami has already made up his mind to go to the world of the Eye Demon, so there's no point in trying to persuade him otherwise.
So Takeru Tenkuji simply didn't say anything, agreeing with Makoto Fukami to put his mind at ease.
Seeing Takeru Tenkuuji nod, Makoto Fukami breathed a sigh of relief.
"With you and Lu Chen protecting Huayin, I can go to the Eye Demon World with peace of mind."
Yamauchi Onari couldn't help but ask:
Are you leaving soon?
Makoto Fukami nodded, then raised his hand and drew a blue eye soul mark.
Goodbye, and hopefully we'll meet again.
After saying that, Makoto Fukami took one last look at Takeru Tenkuuji, then transformed into an Eye Soul and entered the blue energy channel.
As Makoto Fukami disappeared, Takeru Tenkuji felt a deep sense of loss.
"Brother Makoto Fukami is gone."
Seeing Tenkuji Takeru's dejected look, Yamauchi Misaki patted him on the shoulder and said:
··········Requesting flowers·········
"Don't be like that, Your Highness. Let's cheer up. Maybe Akari Tsukimura will be able to research a way to go to the Eye Demon World soon, and then you and Makoto Fukami will be able to see each other again soon."
Tenkuuji no Mikoto sighed softly and said:
"That's all we can hope for."
Beholder World, Prayer Room.
....................
Aran's father, Adris, was spreading his arms wide, speaking a language different from humans, and praying with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, footsteps came from behind him.
Adnis interrupted his prayer, turned to look at Aran, whom he had summoned, and asked:
How does it feel to be in the human world?
Alan was taken aback, seemingly not expecting his father to ask him such a question.
After thinking for a moment, Alan replied:
"It remains an unreasonable and ugly world."
Alan's father then asked:
Is this your first impression? Or is this your entire assessment of the human world?
Upon hearing this, a look of reminiscence crossed Alan's eyes.
