Chapter 617 - Chapter 617 Chapter 541 Hundred Eyes

Chapter 617: Chapter 541 Hundred Eyes Chapter 617: Chapter 541 Hundred Eyes In a dazed moment, Roger saw the woman’s eyes.

Not a pair.

But densely packed, as if they were scrambling out from beneath the woman’s pale skin.

He saw the eyes of women, old men, and children.

Aged, ill, deranged, innocent, and also those filled with resentment.

There were all sorts.

In that instant, it seemed as if countless wounds had been split open on the woman’s body, and from those wounds, eyes of various shapes squeezed out.

At this moment, Roger finally understood why the woman’s eyes always gave him a sense of deja vu.

He wasn’t sure whether these eyes grew from the flesh of the woman after she had devoured others, or if they had simply sprouted from within her.

He felt his scalp tingle, not just from the visual impact and discomfort but because when all the eyes on the woman’s body looked at him, there indeed was a strange power that affected his body, causing numbness and a confusion of impulses.

“Be careful!”

A shout of alarm came from behind him.

“It’s the Hundred-Eyes Monster!”

In the time it took to speak, the number of eyes on the woman’s body continued to increase until her skin was no longer visible under the mottled coverage of the eyes.

The protruding eyeballs, packed tightly together, rubbed against each other, shifting positions under pressure, writhing upon the woman’s body.

Just a short while ago, Roger thought the Disaster Serpent he had seen on Ai Asami was the most horrific monster he’d ever encountered.

But now, faced with the Hundred-Eyes Monster, he had to admit he was wrong.

He didn’t know whether the compulsion in his heart stemmed from the perverse stimulation of the monster’s appearance or simply the influence of its power.

All he knew was that at that moment,

he wanted to crush each and every one of the eyes that looked at him into oblivion!

“Heehee.”

“He’s looking at me, such a handsome man.”

“What are you looking at?”

“Hohoho, join us, everyone together, so intimate.”

“I like these eyes, no one take them from me, I want to be close to them every day.”

The disordered messages from the eyes drilled into his mind; although he heard no sound, a single glance was enough for Roger to perceive hundreds of messages.

It was as if each eye was an independent entity.

Like a living person.

Able to speak.

Roger dared not imagine if a man were truly seduced by this woman and stepped into her rosy trap, then upon witnessing her true form during their intimacy…

Just the thought alone was chilling to the bone.

He pushed his palm forward, and the Igni Dharma Seal burst forth.

Flames gushed out, but at that moment, the woman made up of innumerable eyes suddenly exploded, and thousands of eyes shot in all directions.

Some were instantly burned to smoke by the flames and dissipated into the air.

Many more dodged the fire attack, then reassembled; by the time they landed, they had returned to their previous form.

Only now it wasn’t the bloated shape from before, but all the eyes were still tightly packed together, just one glance could induce physical revulsion.

“Be careful not to let it get close to you.”

Yukiko’s voice came from behind him.

“This Hundred-Eyes Monster is very powerful, and no one knows exactly how many eyes it has on its body.”

“In the legend, the so-called Hundred-Eyes Monster initially was just an eye filled with desire, which detached from its host and attached itself to others.”

“The desire within the eye would compel the host to act impulsively.”

“Greed for money would lead to a frantic accumulation of wealth, and entanglement with the flesh would trap people in an unending vortex of desire.”

“Over time, under the influence of the eye, people driven by desire would commit a multitude of outrageous acts.”

“Yet throughout this process, there’s no interference from any spiritual power; it seems to stem purely from their own thoughts.”

“One possessed becomes many, each bringing forth another eye.”

“Once the number of eyes exceeds one hundred, the Hundred-Eyes Monster fully forms, and then it continues to grow, infecting more people, collecting more eyes.”

“Until one day, all eyes converge into the one and only.”

Yukiko spoke rapidly.

“All these things are just rumors; how this creature truly forms, no one knows. Some even believe that a Hundred-Eyes Monster, formed from a singular desire, exists in this world.”

“A mere obsession makes them stronger, and they might even reach the pinnacle of this world!”

As Yukiko spoke, Roger didn’t stop his attacks.

“How should we deal with it?”

Roger was reluctant to approach, most attacks were carried out via the Igni Dharma Seal.

“The heart’s desire is the breeding ground for its birth; it can’t be completely eradicated.”

“Unless you can find each and every one of its eyes and eradicate them, there will always be a day when one becomes two, two becomes four, and it will come back stronger than before.”

“That troublesome?!”

Roger furrowed his brows but quickly he thought of something.

“Wait!”

He slapped the Igni Dharma Seal out, and flames engulfed the Hundred-Eyes Monster; the next second Roger turned, directing a thread of flame under his control onto Aoki Kazuo’s body.

Squelch.

The wound at the root of the thigh tore open, and an egg-shaped mass composed of eyes, the size of a fist, burst out from within.

“Damn, it’s spotted.”
