The Demon Eye is something unique to the Demon King. In other words, apart from the Demon King, there are only two possibilities for anyone else to possess the Demon Eye.
One option is to kill the Demon King and transplant a Demon Eye, but most people would not be able to withstand the rejection reaction caused by the Demon Eye. At best, they would become completely blind, and at worst, they would die on the spot.
Secondly, one may receive the Demon King's favor, like me, who was personally granted the power of the Demon Eye by the Demon King. Judging from Julius's words, after the Demon King grants you the Demon Eye, his own Demon Eye will not disappear; he will simply give you a certain ability of the Demon Eye.
Therefore, most people would not choose the former to foolishly challenge the Demon King in order to obtain this ability, because you simply cannot defeat him. Not to mention that the Demon King has an immortal body, his combat power is also second only to the "Seven Great Powers".
Of course, among the many demon kings, there are those who surpass the "Seven Great Powers," such as the Demon Emperor Cocosiri Kisilica, who possesses twelve demon eyes.
According to records, she was a powerful demon king who possessed twelve demonic eyes from birth, and thus earned the nickname: the Demon Eyes Emperor.
However, I have absolutely no idea why this resurrected demon lord would bestow such a demonic eye upon me.
But one thing is certain: being given the Demon Eye had nothing to do with the advice of the "human god".
In other words, being granted the Demon Eye was something the "god" had not anticipated. However, whether it can be considered a blessing from the "god" will only be determined after the next meeting with the "god".
With this in mind, I began intensive training to control the Demon Eye, commonly known as: Devil (Eye) Training.
It took me a whole week just to master it.
Start your day with a morning run, then work out your biceps, and finally your thighs. Oh, and don't forget your fingertips too.
After lunch, I will take on the task of hunting down a dragon on my own. This is not some other monster that looks like a dragon and is called a dragon, but a real dragon that breathes dragon breath and has wings that are larger than its body. The key point is that its combat power is above S-rank.
Yes, you read that right. As a ranged mage, I am currently engaged in a fierce battle with a giant dragon.
"Damn it! This dragon's breath is too troublesome."
"But it's alright, I'm a King-level mage, this kind of breath attack is a piece of cake for me, watch this..."
"Huh... Leon, where did this dragon plushie come from? It looks pretty cute."
I don't know when, but Lilith would exclaim like that as she passed by me. But it doesn't matter. Women are always a stumbling block on a man's road to success. I can't afford to be careless in the face of such a powerful dragon.
"Watch me..."
"Leon? How's your control over the Demon Eye going? Let me see... Uh... The pupil color hasn't changed, it looks normal... It doesn't seem like you have a Demon Eye... But, I can definitely smell a very strong magical energy..."
"Hmm... Hahaha... Tch... Damn woman, she really is a stumbling block... But... almost there. Deep breath, don't let external forces interfere. Damn dragon... Die!"
"Leon?"
"Ah... Lilith, please don't bother me, okay? I was almost able to master the Mystic Eyes..."
Yes, the terrifying dragon, whose body had been stretched out and twisted, was about to return to normal, but Lilith intervened at the crucial moment. As a result, his thoughts were affected by her to some extent, and he couldn't concentrate at all.
Okay, let's get straight to the conclusion.
Controlling the Magic Eye is actually not difficult.
In short, judging from the method used by Cocosiri Kishirika at the time, the Mystic Eye could be controlled by injecting magic power, but the only unclear thing was how much magic power to inject.
This is completely different from when you cast a spell yourself. The more magic power you pour in, the greater the power of the spell. But for low-level spells, there is actually an upper limit, which is the so-called reasonable use of one's total magic power.
Let's use a balloon as an example. The more air you fill it with, the more the balloon will inflate, but there is an upper limit. If you fill it with too much air, the balloon will burst.
The same applies to magic. If too much magic power is poured in, it will cause magic to become uncontrollable, a phenomenon known as magic imbalance.
Such magic can easily dissipate into thin air and cannot be reconstituted, or it can become uncontrollable, causing unnecessary disasters and affecting the caster himself. If a powerful magic goes out of control, it can cause a tragedy similar to that of the "Forbidden Witch".
Therefore, most mages only practice magic of one attribute, which allows them to control it more perfectly and rationally plan the use of their total magical power.
For example, there's Lilimarta, who specializes in water magic, and the healer in the royal palace who specializes in healing magic... and so on.
But the Mystic Eye is completely different now. If too little magic is injected, it cannot exert its power at all. If too much magic is injected, it will become the excessively distorted world we see now, and it will easily cause magic depletion.
Although they had been training for a week, overall, they had made absolutely no progress in controlling the Demon Eye.
Even Julius knew very little about the control over the Mystic Eye, after all, this was the first time he had encountered a situation like mine.
"Ah...sorry, sorry, I just wanted to ask how things are going with Leon."
"Sigh... This is completely impossible... It's too difficult for me."
Yes, I feel completely lost right now, like a bronze-level newbie entering a high-level game. I have no direction at all.
"Huh? How could that be? I've seen Leon staring at the dragon for days. Hasn't he gained anything?"
"There were some gains... but not none at all..."
At least I understand one thing: the thin substance wrapped around Lilith is the magic power detected by the Mystic Eye.
Speaking of which... not everyone has magic. Even a powerful fighter like Lilith only has a tiny bit of magic, even less than me.
"So...only mages possess powerful magic?"
So I possess the Demon Eye?
What exactly is it used for?
It can only detect other people's magic power? If you can't beat them, you still can't beat them; it's completely useless!
That's not quite right. I remember Cocosiri Kisilica saying something like this: apparently, reaching the Emperor-level magician unlocks new abilities...
What kind of ability could it be?
Thousand-mile vision? X-ray vision? Or laser vision?
No, no, no... that's too perverted.
However... having X-ray vision... isn't impossible, in that case...
—Aren't all women in this world running around naked?
Just thinking about it is exciting.
"Hey! Leon! What are you thinking about?"
"Cough cough...no...it's nothing."
Lilith, as always, was able to see through my thoughts, probably sensing the strong male hormones surging within me at that moment.
In short, it took me about three more days to finally master the knack of controlling the Demon Eye.
The feeling is not much different from using magic. When using the Magic Eye, you must first identify a target, the target you are looking for, and then inject magic power. The injection speed should not be too fast, otherwise it will put a burden on the brain.
Then, the amount injected should not be too large, and should be controlled to around one second, otherwise it will become a distorted world.
Finally, the most important step is to close the Mystic Eyes. Overuse of the Mystic Eyes can cause vision damage, bleeding, and in severe cases, depletion of magical energy. (Note: This refers to the negative effects of using the Sharingan's Amaterasu in Naruto.)
Therefore, I don't usually use the Magic Eye casually. However, fortunately, after ten days of training, I finally mastered the Magic Eye to a certain level.
