Lord Shadow

Then without hesitation, Azief then dug deep into his eyes with his finger and then pierce his eye socket. He did not feel pain in the beginning

But then slight pain tingles around the eye socket but that itself is merely an inconvenience for him instead of a terrible pain that would happen if anyone just dug out their eyes with their fingers.

One could even hear the squishy sound as Azief fingers cut the veins of the eye that connect the eyeballs and the eye socket.

The most pain he feels is a pinch. The expression on his face did not change at all.

Shreet!

The sound of the eyeballs being dug out from his eye socket could be heard clearly. Erika look at this and she was pale in the face.

She thought to herself

‘How lucky’ Unlike Azief, she knew that the process of removing her eyes would not be as easy as Death Monarch since her power and even her soul is connected to her eyes

Azief had successfully brought out his eyeballs from his left eye socket

Blood did not drip from that empty eye socket. Instead, energy leaks out from it. His eyeballs are on his palm as he looks at it with his right eye

Azief left eye socket right now is empty but there is no blood and it did not appear gruesome even though it is empty.

Because one could see the Laws of the world wanted to form an eye in that empty socket. It would not be an impossibility for Azief to use one of his Laws to forge his eye

Human body have a natural reaction to avoid pain and protect itself. The same could be said for a Being like Azief whose body is made of Laws

But Azief restrained these forces inside his body to regenerate his eyes. Since he needs to transplant Erika eyes on his eye socket

He looks at his eyeball and he could see there is an aura in that eye.

Azief had no sentimental attachment to his eyeballs.

There were many times when his body had already been melted off and even cut off and most of the part of his body could no longer be said his original body as most of it has been generated by the energy of the world.

Azief then crushed the eye with his own hands.

The moment it was crushed, it turns into a beautiful motes of light that scattered all over, like dandelions flying to the air after being blown by the wind.

Erika nodded

‘It is my turn now’ she thought to herself and then she pierced the area around the bottom of her eye sockets

Blood spurted out from the area, flowing toward her hand as she shouted in pain. Azief look at this and frowned but he did not say anything or do anything.

Because he could see that there is a force around her and he fears that if he interferes in this it would gave Erika a backlash. Because what Erika is doing right now look eerily similar like some kind of ritual magic

And that is something that Azief had no experience with. Energy of the world is easy for him as his body literally like a walking black hole absorbing the energy of the world

Magic on the other hand….it is too nonsensical for him.

He did not doubt that it exists. He only felt that it is too complicated. Certain magic has systematic way of accessing it.

But the magic of Asgardians, of Jotunheim, of Nidavellir, of Bimasakti, the kind of magic that deals with the intangible, with emotions and rituals and blood, that kind of magic where systematic method did not work is the kind of magic Azief hated the most.

As Alsurt once said to him “Magic was not supposed to be understood but felt”

At the same time that Erika gouges out of her eyes, powerful Time Force bursted around her, thunder roars above her head as a patch of clouds appears all of a sudden.

These clouds are unlike any other clouds.

It is greenish clouds with a thick purplish tint. And this cloud emanated Time energy. And only those who have high attainment in Law controlling could see it.

Unnatural phenomenon shrouded the entire island

The eye of an Oracle is their source of ability.

So, unlike other people, when they try to remove their eyes, a certain force would try to stop them.

After all, if every clairvoyant could just remove their eyes, why would they not do it before they become the instrument of fate and destiny.

Surely they would have done so. The only reason they did not is probably because they could not.

Then Azief notices another Will that is appearing in every essence around him and he finally understood what Erika tries to do and how deep her plans really are.

This other Will appears to be binding Erika. And it is now clashing with the Will of Borgan that is now enveloping the entirety of Erika body

Two Wills. Erika plan is simple.

She wanted to rid out one of her eyes. But she could not do so without being stopped by the Will of Borgan.

But, Erika probably found a loophole. It is known that the Price of a prophecy had to be fulfilled.

She probably wanted to give her eyes away. But, if she gives it away to people who could not withstand Borgan Will, then they would die

Because of that Erika could not give that price out. She could not ask that Price because the Will of Borgan will mute her.

When the Oracle prophesies something, she would ask for something.

But what she asked, must be something that the other party could fulfill. It didn’t matter if they tried to run from the price afterward.

What matters was that at the beginning they ask for the prophecy, the Price must be something that they could fulfill.

If not, no matter how Erika tries to propose a deal, trying to give her eyes, it would not work. Erika knows this. Because the past Erika had tried it.

She tried to offer her eyes to other people.

But, each time she tried to ask that asking price, she would find her voice could not come out, her tongue stuck and she would feel her entire body being wrecked by some foreign force that would appear out of nowhere restraining him and controlling her

And when she experimented to know the limit of this restrain, she understood that she could not ask something that the others could not achieve

She could ask sky high price but it must still be something that the other person could achieve and fulfill.

The force that binds her would give her hints and guidance when she would try to name a Price

It is a bit like a loansharking business. After all, even loan shark is not stupid enough to loan their money, to people who have no chance at all to pay them back.

It is the same for Oracle. Looking at the Veil affect her negatively. The Price is to negate the negative effect and it is appropriate.

It is not fair but it is appropriate. Erika could ask for steep prices. But that depends on what the people are asking.

When this memories of Erika of the future enters the mind of the current Erika, she knew that the only one that could bear the Will of Borgan and take her curse away is Death Monarch.

After all, in the other timeline, Azief had done it. Since he had able to done it once before, why would he not be able to do it again

And that time, Azief was even weaker than he is now today. Now, Erika had even more reason to give him her eyes.

Giving the eye of an Oracle to someone else also connected that person with the Will of Borgan. As such, it is not only the strength of the recipient that matters

It is also important if the Will of Borgan acknowledges that person. And that is why Erika ask Azief to take his pain.

Of course, Erika knows that after this, it would be harder for her to access the Veil and she would lose some of her other abilities, but that is better than being a puppet of fate and destiny.

Nobody wanted strings on each and every one of their actions. Destiny and fate guided everyone.

Most people destiny and fate is determined by themselves.

Destiny would not bestow to someone their destiny and their fate unless it is that someone who had been asking for it.

One personality affects one destiny.

A stubborn person would end up in a way that is appropriate for a stubborn person.

A gentle person would end up in a situation where it is appropriate for such a person. And so on and so forth.

Destiny did not wily nily determine one fate and destiny. It is the accumulation of one choices that solidify their destiny and fate
