"No need! No need to kill me, Madame! You... you can have it if you want it! I am your apprentice after all! I'd follow anything you'd order me to do!" Pedro bluffed at his best. Beads of sweat fall from his forehead as he wore a wryly smile.
'This is just one of the three... no need to die and lose all of them... Haha!' He chuckled deep inside as he prays at his best that Madame Soledad, Alivia or Kentaro won't kill him.
(To those who ask why was he afraid? Remember Alivia and Pedro's first meeting, Alivia's casual punches were to fast for Pedro to react which highlights his weakness. Any attacks with an interval shorter than two seconds (The cooldown of Intermediate potion) can kill him... At the other point of view, let's just take the 'weaker' Kentaro. Pedro can't even see his Katana out of its scabbard when they killed many Octrocras.)
"Ho... ho... Not bad!" As soon as Pedro handed the cylinder container to Madame Soledad, she crushed it with her grip.
"Eh?" Alivia, Kentaro, and Pedro were shocked as Madame Soledad grabbed the eyeballs in midair.
Swoosh!
A black aura sliced through Pedro's eyes as his vision became dark.
"Ah! My eyes! My eyes! Please don't kill me! Please don't kill me!" Pedro was in his knees. His hands held his eyes and tried to stop its bleeding as he panicked and system notification sounded.

"Ah... My eyes!" Pedro was not even able to pay attention to the notification because of the pain.
'What now?' His hands started to move again on its own as it slowly moves away from his eyes.
"AAAAAAAAAH!" Pedro screamed as he felt the chilling aura get closer each second to him.
'Please stop! What are these hard things being forced into... my... eyes...' Something was forcedly pushed to his eye sockets as he slowly lost consciousness. Despite his unconscious state, Various notifications flooded into his Interface. (he can't see it though)
[Congratulations! You have activated Demon Varxatos Enhancement!]
[Demon Varxatos Legacy Enhancement, Completed!]
The Demon Varxatos has long perished. He was the demon who started gods and demon war. He was formerly known as the god of commitment and will. After, helping in the rescue of goddess Takraxia, He was falsely accused as a traitor and the conspirator of her abduction. Escaping the gods' attacks he was exiled and sent to the Demon side he once fought. Due to his commitment and will to take revenge to other gods, he took the top seat of the Demon side by exponentially increasing his strength and defeating the seven demon governors single-handedly. Using his power, he initiated his 'revenge' by starting the gods and demon war. He was killed by the combined force of gods and demons who betrayed them, that ended the war.

"Where... Where am I?" After minutes of being unconscious, He woke up inside the CBCR. He was greeted by the busy crew, a serious Alivia and Madame Soledad, and the stuck again to the wall Kentaro.
"He's awake!" Alivia was ecstatic to see and learn what Pedro gain from the 'Demon's eyes'. (Author's Note: Let's call it 'Demon's eyes' from now on!)
"Huh? Senior? What happened?" ... "Ehhhhhhhhhhhh? I can see again?" Pedro remembered everything that happened in a flash. He shot up from the floor, blinking his eyes and looking around as if he can't believe what had just happened.
"Lower your voice!" Madame Soledad scolded as she walked near to Pedro. "Stop the ship!"
Fwoooosh!
The crew was confused about her orders but all they can do was to follow her. Hence, the ship halted abruptly that shook the whole ship.
"Try to remember a negative experience! A betrayal or anything that might anger you!" Madame Soledad commanded as all crews watched them in anticipation, even the engraved in the wall Kentaro.
"Uhm!" He nodded as he thought about how his "guild members" who terminated their contract in his past life, "betrayed" him... and he imagined them mocking him like he was someone who was 'weak' and 'money dependent'.
Bog! Bog! Bog! Bog! Bog!
"Eh?" Pedro was astounded when his vision got 'Upgraded', while at the same time watching the scene where almost 80% of the Ship's Crew Members within a 100-meter radius from Pedro, especially inside the CBCR, lost their consciousness and began falling to the floor like a dead man.
"Pff... Such power!" Alivia felt slight dizziness as she leans on a railing. Kentaro felt the same as Alivia, fortunately, he was holed up and won't need to stumble.
"So... That's what your eyes can do!" Madame Soledad held her head as she felt a bit dizzy for a moment. 'Your eyes look down to everyone and renders them useless! The Demon branch of the owner of your eyes... is from... The house of Pride!'
