Chapter 592: 488 Is he human?_3
Regarding this, Reiger also similarly met Beryl’s gaze, his eyes filled with a mocking emotion.
"Terrible!"
Seeing this look, Beryl felt as if he sensed something and was greatly alarmed in his heart.
But by this time, it was already too late to react.
"————"
With a slight change in the air, Beryl distinctly felt that he had become unable to move.
Reiger’s gaze toward Beryl’s eyes then stirred with a strange color, binding Beryl.
"Magic Eye!"
Beryl screamed internally.
The so-called Magic Eye refers to the ability of magic eyes that transform the passive function of receiving external messages into an active influence on external objects.
Magicians who possess Magic Eyes can influence targets within their sight without chanting or needing to prepare the magical procedure.
There are many types of Magic Eyes, and depending on the type, their magical effects also vary.
Some Magic Eyes have the ability to charm.
Some Magic Eyes have the ability to suggest.
Some Magic Eyes have the ability to bind.
Others possess effects like Flame Burning, illusions, petrification, among others, and some Magic Eyes can even kill someone with their gaze alone, which is very terrifying.
Because looking directly at a Magic Eye can greatly enhance its power and effect, not only should one not look directly at a Magic Eye, but even being seen by it can trap one in its magic unexpectedly, making it a sizeable advantage in the world of magic, to the extent that possessing a Magic Eye could signify one as a first-class magician.
Beryl cursed himself inwardly for being careless enough to forget the threat of a powerful magician and looking directly at him, which was practically suicidal.
Unbeknownst to Beryl, Reiger did not have a Magic Eye; he had merely activated a type of magic.
It was a magic that could select one of multiple visual effects to induce fear, panic, confusion, or even madness in an opponent—[Evil Gaze].
Fear causes one to feel afraid, a condition that can reduce an opponent’s speed and hostile actions.
Panic causes an opponent to enter severe fear, making them want to flee from the source of their condition, rendering them incapable of any combat actions.
Confusion, as the name suggests, causes an inability to control one’s own actions.
Madness is a condition with permanent effects; unless cured by magic, it will never be alleviated, causing one to remain in a frenzied state and, in severe cases, even attack their teammates.
At this moment, Reiger had activated [Evil Gaze], not to inflict states of fear, panic, confusion, or madness, but to bind his opponent.
This was not an original effect of [Evil Gaze], but perhaps because the "Magic guidance" had reached the D stage, Reiger had discovered in recent days that some of his magic’s effects had strengthened, and even gained some new effects.
In Earth Mistake World, adventurers endowed with grace need to meet two conditions to level up.
One is to accomplish great deeds, accumulating sufficient high-level experience.
The other is to advance one of the five fundamental abilities—strength, endurance, dexterity, agility, or Magic Power—to the sixth stage, which is the D stage.
Perhaps for this reason, when "Magic guidance" reached the D stage, this developmental ability produced some changes in its supportive effects on magic.
This developmental ability can provide various supports to magic, though not specifying exactly what those effects are, such that Reiger could even realize the strengthening of magic from the world of the Overlord through it.
In such a situation, when "Magic guidance" reached the somewhat special D stage, it generated some particularly unique supportive effects.
This was Reiger’s guess; whether it was indeed so, he was still unsure, and perhaps, after returning to Earth Mistake World, he could verify it.
Now, Reiger’s [Evil Gaze] had undergone some changes, enabling it to impose the state of being bound on his opponent, affecting those with weak resistance to magic, making them unable to move.
And as a human, Beryl, unlike the naturally mysterious fairies who are resistant to sorcery and magic, belonged to those who could be distinctly affected by Reiger’s magic.
Thus, Reiger, displeased by Beryl’s gaze, directly launched the [Evil Gaze] magic on him.
Consequently, Beryl suffered, and if this continued, Reiger might cause further abnormal states through [Evil Gaze], including the most severe consequence, madness.
Regrettably, a girl who was extremely fascinated with Beryl would not stand idly by watching this happen.
"What are you doing!?"
Noticing something was wrong, Tristan’s expression changed, and without another word, she launched magic at Reiger.
Dark Magic Power gathered at her fingertips, forming a magic bullet that blasted toward Reiger, aiming at his heart.
This time, Reiger did not choose to counter Tristan, but instead launched a type of magic that could be considered a nemesis to magicians and magicians.
"[Sanctuary Mirror]."
As Reiger chanted this magic, darkness gathered in front of him, turning into a magic mirror that shielded his front.
"Thud!"
The dark magic bullet hit the magic mirror.
"Buzz!"
The entire mirror trembled, light flowed over its surface, absorbing the dark magic bullet and then reflecting it back out.
"What...!?"
Tristan was shocked.
"Boom!"
The dark magic bullet instantly hit her, swallowing her up.
