Now, Erika is the only person in the island. She had stopped laughing and Erika only sighed after seeing Azief disappeared like that.
Coming wherever and whenever he wanted, and leaving wherever and whenever he wanted. This is the style of the famous Death Monarch
At least, she got to stick it to the man
Knowing Azief, he might be going to try to breakthrough to Essence Creation. Erika did not know if that attempt would be successful or not.
Since this events are all out of her expectation. none of this had happened before. Katarina was never subjected to any kidnappings and the feelings between Azief and Katarina had bloomed ahead of schedule.
‘But, is this something that He had expected?’ she thought to herself. This “He” she is thinking about is not the Supreme One. It is not Loki. And it is not Yewa Hafar.
This “He”, this person is a person only Erika knows. It is an existence that both Loki and Yewa Hafar had not known.
Another chess player that only Erika knows.
‘Tch. There is advantages and disadvantages’ she said to herself as she rubs the area around her left eye socket
right now she could not use her eyes. Gouging out her eyes does have certain effect toward her, other than the obvious pain and the pulsing headache
She need to recover her vitality and life energy before she could see the future clearly again. And she also need to reestablish her connection with the Veil.
This would take time.
A few decades at least.
Fortunately, she was prepared for this as she already extracted most of the important information that she needed to survive the coming years.
What is an Oracle? This is an Oracle! Preparing for the way forward using the ability to see the future
And the eye that is on Death Monarch eye socket also needs time to adjust before that one eyeball could be used and benefits her.
She then walks to the tree that had always accompanied her when she was waiting for Azief all of these years.
She looks at it with a bitter smile and she mutters to herself
‘There is no banquet that last forever. It is time to leave this place and prepare for the next step’
She crouched down to the ground and then put her palm on the ground. She could feel the wind around her, and feel the grass around her fingers.
The wind also enters her empty eye socket which made the flesh around her eye socket felt a little bit painful. She only winces a bit and ignores this slight pain
She then closes her eye and then suddenly the Time energy that had prompted the changes on the four corner of the magical tree suddenly regresses.
The Time power flows toward her and slowly the tree withers. Its leaves turn gray, the fruits become rotten and the thick tree become thin in a fast rate
The wind bringing the scent of the sea blows by, the leaves falls down from its branches as even the slightest small movement causes the branches to break, the fruits to explodes into mist of water that falls down to the ground
Slowly, the tree become shorter.
This tree from the very beginning is not a normal tree. Instead, it is a magical tree. It stands to reason that nothing about this also makes sense
The tree become shorter and thinner and more leaves and more branches falls down like some kind of rain.
But while it does fall down, it did not hit Erika below it. Erika right now seems to be protected by some kind of barrier around her, created by the energy of this tree.
She is still closing her eyes and her vitality is now rising madly. She had lost a lot of her vitality when she gouges out her eyeball.
But now, that vitality seems to be coming back. It is not hard to deduce what happens. This tree had accompanied her all this time
It is not only because the leaves of this tree could become the ingredient for her rejuvenating drink that she had been beside this tree all this while
It was because it is a tree powered by the vitality of the world. this kind of tree could only grow around power spots of great significance.
Since Erika had known long ago that she would surely lost a lot of vitality she had been prepared for it
A few more second passed and then the tree broke and falls down to the ground.
The tree bark had become rotten and the trunk of the tree also seems like it had turns into a very old tree that is at the end of its life.
By the end, the large and tall tree that reached the clouds in the sky had been shortened until it reaches the height of four feet.
Then it withers and turns into particles of atoms that is assimilated with the energy of the world
After this, maybe this tree would appear in another spot of the world, once again it would try to grow. Maybe, next time, its fate would not be this short.
This tree is magical that way.
Only now, Erika opens back her eyes. There is a smile on her face.
‘Ah, the feeling of life’ she mutters to herself. She had regained her youthfulness, appearing even younger than before.
There are no wrinkly skins and her life force is very vigorous and thrumming with vitality. On her left eye socket, the bleeding had stopped
But there is still an empty eye socket.
Unlike some of the other levelers who could easily regenerate a new eye, the Oracle could not.
Because her eye is with Death Monarch. Unless Death Monarch destroy that eye, Erika could never create a new eye.
If she tries to do it, the force of the Price would restrain her.
And if by some reason Azief destroy that eye, and Erika regenerates a new eye, that eye would be the eye that Azief had destroyed.
The eye of an Oracle is the mark of Fate and Destiny and as such, only certain beings have the power to truly destroy it and make sure that it would not come back.
One of such thing is the Destroyer essence of Primordial Destruction.
If Erika lost her arms or her legs, it would not be hard for her to regenerate it back. But the same could not be said about her eye
She laughed a bit.
She was already prepared for this inconvenience. But, it still made her complain a bit. She then ruffles through her sleeve and brought out a pouch.
The pouch is none other than a storage pouch.
She opens it and looks inside it. She put her arms into it and seems to be searching for something.
Her expression brightens when her hand got a hold of something. Bringing it out from the pouch, it is a mechanical eyeball.
She nodded to herself.
‘This would do’ she said to herself.
Then she slowly inserted that eyeball to her left eye socket.
The mechanical eyeballs also have some organic features to it as it connects with the tissue of her eyes and now she could see with her new left eye
She then looks at the surrounding around her and she smiles.
It is in some cases is even better than her original eye. At least this eye would not bombard her with vision of the future or random images of omens
Her new eyeball is capable of seeing through objects and the back of her own heads among many other things.
It could also zoom in and zoom out and act like microscope and enhancement device. It could even capture images and rewind past scenes that had been seen by this eye
Her eyeball then rotates 360 degrees in her head, able to see behind her and around her with extreme clarity
the movement of her eyes is dictated by her will.
She then thought of one character in Harry Potter who had the same kind of eye that she is having now and she found some humor in that
Could it be the Inventor take some inspiration from that book? She thought to herself. But then she shakes her head
What does it matter where the Inventor got his inspiration from as long as it works?
She then walks away from the area of the tree. She walked even further but she is not rushed. She passed a large patch of flower bed and after a while she arrives at a hut.
This hut is newly built and it is built by magical powers.
The hut itself seems like it is constructed naturally by nature as there is vines and flowers all over the walls of this hut
It resembles the house in the Bagshot Row in The Lord of the Rings franchise. Yes, she takes inspiration from that movie
It is a pity that after this, the hut would be empty, she thought to herself
She should leave this hut alone. Who knows? Maybe when someone found this island later, they would be able to find shelter in this hut
A butterfly that flaps its wing and changes the course of history. Who knows if this hut could also be like that butterfly and would help someone.
Out of all the people in Earth, she is the one that knows how one simple act, one insignificant deeds could change the course of history
She shakes her head, shaking off his thought
Then she enters the hut. The moment she enters it, there is the smell of herbs assault her. Even though she was used to it, she still scrunched up her nose.
Her eyes could see all kinds of plants could be seen hanging on one of the makeshift clothesline inside the hut
Most of this herb is used to alleviate some of the pain that Erika had to endure after seeing the future.
But, there is also other kinds of herbs that is used to alleviate pain and heal wounds. Some of this other herb is clearly not for Erika.
On the table near the window of the hut, there is three cup and there is a strong smell of tea. On the other side of that hut is a bed and on that bed is a person.
She nodded seeing that man
‘This Knight is really troublesome’ she thought to herself
