The Art of Illusion: Hallucination

The blood-red eyeball of the Eye Demon once again released strange waves.

"My lowly servant, I command you, open the prison door!" the Eye Demon urged.

Ding!

You are attacked by the Eye Demon.

Soul Power +1

Another stream of cold energy flowed through Gu Qingfeng's mind. He felt his head become clearer than ever before.

He didn't reveal that he had broken free from control, but instead pretended to be dazed as he fumbled for the key, shakily moving to unlock the door.

The joy in the Eye Demon's eye was about to overflow, while its mouth continued to urge impatiently.

"Lowly servant, quick! Quickly open the prison door!"

Finally... finally, I can leave the Demon Suppression Prison. Those scum from the Demon Suppression Bureau, wait until I get out, I'll make sure you feel my wrath!

"Lowly servant, huh?" Gu Qingfeng, now within arm's reach of the Eye Demon, smiled silently.

His right hand beneath the prison door suddenly clenched into a fist, then extended his index and middle fingers. The two fingers pressed together, a flash of blue-gold color shining on their tips.

"I'll puncture your eyeball, bastard!"

Gu Qingfeng suddenly shouted, his two fingers rising like lightning, then striking viciously like a venomous snake towards the Eye Demon.

At this moment, the Eye Demon was still immersed in the joy of imminent escape, completely unaware of what was happening.

When it finally realized, all it saw were two blue-gold fingers, growing larger and larger in its vision...

Aaaaahhh!!!

As Gu Qingfeng's fingers violently pierced into the large eyeball, the Eye Demon let out a shrill, blood-curdling scream.

"My eye! Aaah! My eye!"

The large eyeball screamed, violently retreating to the corner of the cell.

Only then did Gu Qingfeng get a clear look at the Eye Demon's full appearance.

The Eye Demon's entire body consisted of just one eyeball and two bat-like wings.

Simply put, it was an eye with wings.

Now, the Eye Demon's single eye was bleeding, its two wings covering the eye as it wailed incessantly.

"Lowly human! I will kill you! I will kill you!"

The Eye Demon kept screaming.

Gu Qingfeng smiled.

Click!

That was the sound of the cell door opening.

Gu Qingfeng walked into the cell.

Bang!

That was the sound of the cell door closing.

"A creature that doesn't even have an 's' in its 'eye', yet dares to boast? I'm in here now, try killing me if you can!"

(Eye means eye, and since humans have two eyes, it's usually said as "eyes," with 's' representing plural. Having no 's' in "eye" here refers to having only one eye.)

"You even dare to come in!!!" The Eye Demon felt as if it had been insulted.

"I will make you regret coming into this world!"

Flap!

Its pair of bat wings suddenly opened, revealing the large, bleeding eyeball within.

The large eyeball began to glow intensely, emitting an extremely evil blood-red light that illuminated the entire cell in an instant.

Gu Qingfeng felt his vision blur, and suddenly the scene changed.

The original cell had transformed into an endless sea of corpses and blood. A blood moon hung in the sky, and countless skeletons paved a path on the ground.

At the end of that path stood a massive throne made of flesh and bone. Upon the throne sat none other than the Eye Demon!

The Eye Demon's expression was one of contempt as it looked down upon the world. Behind its throne stood countless armies of ferocious demons, wildly cheering and kneeling before their king!

The Eye Demon!

Against this backdrop, the Eye Demon seemed like a high and mighty deity. It looked down at Gu Qingfeng as if gazing upon an ant.

"Lowly human, kneel!"

The Eye Demon commanded with authority, its voice like thunder, as if it were a heavenly decree.

At the same time, the countless demon armies behind the Eye Demon rose in unison, shouting in chorus: "Kneel!"

Countless voices joined together, like a tidal wave covering the sky and earth, engulfing the world.

Gu Qingfeng, seemingly as small as an ant, suddenly felt an immense pressure bearing down on him, forcing his body to kneel involuntarily.

Just then.

Ding!

You are attacked by the Eye Demon.

Soul Power +10

In an instant, Gu Qingfeng felt as if he had washed his head with menthol oil. His head felt cool and clear!

Ding!

Soul Power has broken through its limit. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Eye Technique [Illusion Vision]!

Eye Technique [Illusion Vision]!?

Gu Qingfeng was overjoyed. Had he acquired a skill?

"Hiss! Damn! It's like menthol oil got in my eyes! So cool!"

A cool sensation flowed through Gu Qingfeng's eyes. As the coolness dissipated, he suddenly felt his vision change, as if it had improved.

Gu Qingfeng was eager to try out this Illusion Vision skill.

The next moment, suddenly, a flash of blood-red light passed through Gu Qingfeng's eyes.

In an instant, within the illusion of the sea of corpses and blood, the roles of host and guest were reversed.

It was still the same sea of corpses and blood, the same path paved with skeletons, the same throne woven from flesh and bone. The only difference was that now, sitting on the throne was Gu Qingfeng.

And below, as small as an ant, was the Eye Demon.

Gu Qingfeng's reversal of roles shocked the Eye Demon immensely.

"This... how is this possible!?" The Eye Demon's large eyeball revealed an expression of disbelief, as if everything before it had shattered its worldview.

"You actually broke... no... took over my eye technique? Impossible! It's an illusion, it must be an illusion... no, no, this is already an eye technique illusion, it's already an illusion."

The Eye Demon had started to ramble incoherently.

Gu Qingfeng sat cross-legged on the throne, speaking coldly like a deity: "Kneel."

Behind him, tens of millions of demons shouted in unison: "Kneel! Kneel!"

Under the Eye Demon's terrified gaze, an overwhelming force pressed down on it from nowhere.

"No, no, no!!!"

The Eye Demon screamed in terror, but to no avail.

Since the Eye Demon had no legs, its entire body prostrated on the ground.

"Roll over here."

Gu Qingfeng spoke again, his voice like a heavenly decree, as if the entire world was obeying his command.

The Eye Demon completely lost control of its body. Its two small wings retracted, forming a ball shape, and it rolled to Gu Qingfeng's feet.

Gu Qingfeng leaned down, extended his fingers, a vicious smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

Seeing Gu Qingfeng extend his fingers, the Eye Demon immediately knew what he intended to do and screamed in terror.

"No, no! Don't! Please don't!"

The smile on Gu Qingfeng's face grew even more sinister as his two fingers, glowing with a blue-gold light, violently stabbed towards the Eye Demon.

As he stabbed, he muttered: "Lowly servant, huh?"

Aaaaahhh!

The Eye Demon let out a shrill scream.

Gu Qingfeng remained unmoved.

"You want to kill me, huh?"

Another stab!

The Eye Demon's screams grew even more miserable.

"You want to make me regret coming into this world, huh?"

Stab!

"Spare me, spare me!"

The Eye Demon had now covered its eye with its wings.

"Open your wings."

At Gu Qingfeng's command, the Eye Demon's wings involuntarily opened.

Exposing the bare, large eyeball inside, rolling around in panic.

"You were telling me to kneel just now, weren't you?"

This time, Gu Qingfeng didn't use his fingers. Instead, he raised his fist and smashed it directly into the large eyeball.

Ah!!

A high-pitched, hoarse, and brief scream erupted from the Eye Demon's mouth, then it fell silent, barely clinging to life.

Snap!

Gu Qingfeng snapped his fingers, and the sea of corpses and blood instantly dissipated, returning to the original appearance of the prison cell.

The Eye Demon now lay motionless on the ground, like a dead bat.

Gu Qingfeng stretched lazily.

"Considering you provided me with a skill, I won't kill you. Rest well, I'll be back next time."

Hearing Gu Qingfeng's words, the Eye Demon lying on the ground involuntarily twitched.
