55. From the Soul Gaze of Sister Leviathan~
“Hehe~ How about that ugly old man over there guess how I discovered this barrier that even the Night Watchman didn’t notice?”
Evelyn turned around with a smile, revealing a meaningful grin.
“Hah! The methods of demons are always cunning and changeable. I’m not interested in knowing, but intruding here is simply seeking death. This barrier… can only allow entry, not exit!”
The Black-robed Man, merged with the Corpse Taker, wore a cruel expression, showing no intention of wasting words. He raised his giant arm, stained with crimson blood, and struck towards Evelyn and Emilia.
But in the next moment, an indescribable fear enveloped him.
Even his raised arm froze in place.
『What… what is this feeling?』
The Black-robed Man’s eyes widened, his upper body trembling uncontrollably, as the primal instincts he had long since discarded prevented his action and conveyed a message he absolutely could not accept.
『If his hand moves even a little further forward, he would be instantly reduced to nothing!』
“What a joke? It’s just… a demon… how could it exert such terrifying pressure on someone blessed by the Mother Deity?”
Meanwhile, an overwhelming sense of being watched surged over the Black-robed Man. He saw Evelyn smiling and raising a finger to the heavens, and instinct warned him never to look up; something utterly terrifying must be lurking up there! But reason told him it was impossible—unless a being of the caliber of the Seven Demon Kings of Hell or the Six-Winged Angels of Heaven appeared, nothing should invoke such fear towards the Mother Deity’s blessing.
Yet ultimately, his curiosity suppressed his fear, and he hesitantly looked up, his blood-red eyes dilating as he saw… he saw “that thing.”
It was an enormous eye, with a vertical pupil, its darkness seemingly a gateway to the abyss that struck terror into all who gazed upon it. The Black-robed Man could clearly feel “that thing” watching him; despite now being connected to the super giant Corpse Taker and towering dozens of meters tall, he still felt as small as the moon compared to that terrifying eye.
Roughly estimated, the diameter of that eye… was likely larger than the renowned Worry-Free City!
“What exactly… is that thing?”
“Hehe~ Didn’t I just ask you to guess how I found this place? Ta-da~ This is the answer~”
Evelyn wore a proud expression, while Miss Emilia, relying on Evelyn’s support due to her weakness, instinctively tried to look up but was immediately covered by Evelyn’s hand.
“Hey! That’s not something you can look at~”
The Eye of Leviathan, this is the true name of the enormous eye in the sky.
Indeed, it belonged to Leviathan, one of the Seven Demon Kings of Hell, symbolizing jealousy!
Or rather, it was a projection of her eye.
Sister Leviathan often appeared in legends as a giant whale or crocodile. When Evelyn first encountered her, she saw a whale so enormous that words could hardly describe it, swimming through the lava sea of Hell.
At first, Evelyn was somewhat frightened by such a large creature, but when her father Satan saw her step back and her slightly pale face, he immediately had Sister Leviathan take human form to meet her.
Then Evelyn saw that enormous whale suddenly vanish with a “poof”! Only a blue-haired little girl, about the same height as Evelyn and looking drowsy and dissatisfied, remained.
Evelyn’s fears instantly disappeared without a trace.
In her spare time, Evelyn enjoyed borrowing a couple of books from Uncle Mephisto’s collection and then hurriedly running to lie on Sister Leviathan’s body to read.
No other reason—just comfort!
Sister Leviathan was also one of the Seven Demon Kings who preferred to appear in her true form, and because she would practically sleep twenty-five hours a day, Evelyn often found it confusing why the symbol of laziness was Uncle Belial, the Great Demon Pillar, rather than Sister Leviathan, who spent all day lounging in Hell’s lava, treating the magma as a hot spring.
But every time she asked Sister Leviathan about this, Sister Leviathan would respond with a still-sleepy tone, telling her to ask Belial, as she claimed not to know…
Incidentally, according to hierarchy, Evelyn should call Leviathan “Auntie,” but it felt a bit awkward for Evelyn to call a little girl of similar height “Auntie,” so she had always called her “Sister” instead…
Just now, when Evelyn had made up her mind to save Emilia, she thought of using Sister Leviathan’s “special” eye to help locate Emilia. So, she summoned the giant eyeball from the sky—essentially a projection of the Eye of Leviathan.
Even as just a projection, the Eye of Leviathan had effects similar to having Sister Leviathan take a look herself; within its incomprehensibly vast field of vision, nothing could hide! Not to mention the small barrier made by the Black-robed Man, even the deepest storage room of the Worry-Free City Night Watchman base—where countless specimen vials filled with all sorts of labels were located—Evelyn could see everything clearly.
Moreover, because it was a projection, the summoning would not bring about the terrifying setup of opening the gates of Hell, and with a few tricks that Evelyn had used, the current Eye of Leviathan, while appearing enormous, was actually limited to the confines of the barrier, allowing Evelyn to avoid worrying about the Night Watchmen or the Church’s monks being scared by such a huge spectacle.
Of course, whether or not someone was accidentally frightened to death by the pressure from the Eye of Leviathan right after it was summoned was not something Evelyn had to concern herself with~
And her purpose for making the Eye of Leviathan manifest was simple—to frighten that despicable Black-robed Man.
After all, even as a projection, the authority of the Eye of Leviathan would not be diminished in the slightest.
Hehe! This is the soul gaze from Sister Leviathan, one of the Seven Demon Kings of Hell! It won’t scare you to death~
