The Immortal Eye

Cathan Leywin Pov

Each Djinn king left behind a single artifact in which they infused their most potent ability or spell. Each Djinn king left behind something. For example, Rupa is one of those artifacts.

I only knew there were three versions of Rupa, which would gradually accept a new owner after being used enough. Once they get a new owner, they would reveal their color.

Each Rupa had a unique ability that another Rupa couldn't replicate. One thing to note was that they all could change their form depending on the user's desire.

The Immortal Eye was a powerful weapon left behind by Thoth, the previous Djinn king. The Immortal Eye was a direct replacement to someone's actual eyes, so losing the Immortal Eye meant they would be blind. Of course, beings with healing factors like mine can regenerate their eyes.

Then again, destroying the Immortal Eye was impossible, as not even an asura could damage it. The only way to defeat the Immortal Eye would be to somehow absorb the aether within it, which only Arthur could do.

Putting aside the war, growing in strength, and birthday gifts, there was one thing that made my body shake in excitement and impatience, my child's birth.

"One week..." I muttered, barely containing my excitement.

I didn't know what to do when the time came, and I was a mess. I could barely keep up my calm and patient facade. It felt like my mind was tearing itself apart.

I felt a lot of weight on my shoulder. Finding the necessary items for this war, training, spending time with my family, and the one I cared about the most, spending time with my child.

If I do what I discussed with Miras, I'll be alone for a while, and I want to spend the time I have before that with my family. It was a sad thought, knowing what would happen after we activate that godrune, but it also made me feel relieved.

Fighting without having to worry isn't something that many people could do. I have the ability to manipulate all four elements, a draconic body, reincarnated once before, and I'm the first lesser to reach the integration stage, yet, none of those made me feel as carefree as having that godrune.

One could only marvel at the prospect of absolute power.

I let out a long sigh before teleporting to Arthur's house. My teleportation technique relied on mana, and its range was short, so at its full capabilities right now, I could teleport across the sanctuary.

"Aren't there some manners to entering someone's home?" Arthur grumbled while staring at the ceiling.

"Sorry, but this can't wait," I replied.

Arthur stared at me. "What is it?"

"The relic that lets you see people, can I see it?" I requested.

"Sure, here." Arthur pulled the relic out of his dimensional rune and tossed it to me.

I studied the relic closely. Its pristine diamond-like surface made it look like an invaluable crystal. In reality, it was a world-shattering weapon. Its effects on mana and aether were proof of that.

"It's real," I muttered in awe.

"What is?" Arthur raised a brow.

Rather than responding, I moved my hands towards the Immortal Eye and tried to pull it apart, and just like I expected, it separated into two pieces that looked like diamonds rather than eyes.

"What the..." Arthur muttered, standing up.

"This isn't some weak relic like you thought," I stated.
