Ch.219 Evil Eyes

“If one must protect the Queen, ALL must protect the Queen.” An avalanche of voices broke out in response.

A few people in the gathering looked unsettled at that, but Gaia merely narrowed her eyes.

“Do you know that by blatantly ignoring our rules and disregarding our authority, treating us with disrespect when we have treated you with kindness, that you are putting your Queen in danger?”UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

*Bzzzzz*

At once, every wasp began to flap their wings at extreme speeds. Apparently not enough to take off, but enough to create an ominous buzzing sound that filled the gathering with slight dread. Of course, the buzzing was still musical in nature, as seemed to be customary with these Moonlit Wasps, but it was far from the peaceful music that it was before.

Clearly, they didn’t take threats to their Queen nicely.

But in response, every other faction began to release their aura’s with unmistakable intent to cause harm. They had been wary of the behaviour of the insects, mainly because it was so abnormal and everything unknown was something to treat with caution, but when Gaia had pointed out that they were being disrespected, they all agreed but kept their silence, happy for Gaia to take control.

But not only did the Wasps not relent, they actually dared to get angry?

Her eyes looked softer when she retracted her head, and although her eyes still glowed, it was not as bright or scary as before. Clearly that effect had been created by a little bit of Mana.

But just as a few people were inwardly thinking that Jörma’s relationship with Drako was quite amusing, the eyes returned to- no, the eyes became 10 times freakier than the eyes she had directed at Drako, and they choked up with fear.

The giant snake swivelled her head towards the Wasps and instantly, a great number of them turned to stone right then and there.

Many people froze with shock, but the most shocked people of them all were definitely the Birds from the West Continent. Not because of the domineering fatality that left little chance to resist, although that was indeed frightening, but instead because of the startling similarity that the ability had when compared with the ocular power of a particular bird back on their own Continent. Pharaoh, the Golden Roc of Cremation...

Pharaoh and his Golden Roc brethren were abnormal existences that had popped out of nowhere with a QOB (Quality of Being) that rivalled their own. It was extremely astonishing when they had first appeared since there had been little sign of the rising, but when they were first found they already had multiple existences in the 3rd Realm so the suppression that the Phoenixes and Vermillion Birds had jointly placed on them weren’t very effective for long.

Pharaoh, their alleged progenitor, was naturally the most unique of all the Golden Roc’s, he had something called an Evil Eye and it was the Evil Eye of Cremation. It was a 3rd eye on the middle of his forehead just like Jörma’s 3rd eye, but the difference was that it was pale blue in colour and gave the impression of blazing flames.

What was scary was that he could use that 3rd eye of his to directly ignite someone with pale-blue coloured flames that were even hotter than Golden Roc fire, Phoenix fire and even Vermillion fire, and they would swiftly turn into ash. No build up was needed, no projectile was launched, he would just look at someone and they would start burning.

Now he was looking at another being with a 3rd eye, and that person had looked at a group of people who ended up turning into stone. No build up was needed... no projectile was launched... With a single look, they had become statues.

The effects may be different, but the 3rd eye and method of attack was the exact same. That HAD to be an Evil Eye.
