Before he could react, he felt Noah's hands moving as the latter pulled out a sword. Shane's eyes widened as he spoke, "What the f*ck are you doing?!"
"Shut it, stupid system! This is the first time I've tried to save the situation!" Noah's forehead was full of cold sweat as he gritted his teeth, "Don't you get involved!"
"You just saw what happened when the eyeballs broke, didn't you? Is your mind in the gutter?" Shane was also angry at this point since this host couldn't understand a simple point. No wonder this boy's luck was in the negatives.
"Then what other choice do you have?" Noah glared at the eyeball as he said, "I'm gonna destroy this f*cking ball until nothing remained! Let's see if it can still grow after that!"
"No! Don—" Shane's voice stopped abruptly when he saw Noah had already launched at the enemy with his sword, even though the action was filled with clumsy aspects.
He glanced at the radar in a hurry as if trying to find a way out. Since this was a tower, there should be a staircase leading them upward. He could even tell that every tower should have different small realms hidden inside, just like this one. So, finding the staircase wouldn't be an easy task.
As soon as he saw the screen, he noticed everywhere around them had faint red dots that kept sparkling, and the place where the bigger eyeball was, there was a red color with a darker shade.
Just then, Noah's sword pierced the eyeball into two pieces. He swung the weapon while holding it in two hands in every possible direction as if he had gone berserk. The result, the bigger eyeball was crushed into a fine powder before it could even touch the ground.
Even Shane was amazed at this sudden outburst. Sure enough, moments of life and death could force one to do things they'd never even think of on normal days. He watched the screen from Noah's perspective as everything went calm after the attack.
The host wiped his forehead and stared at the powder falling on the ground one after another. At first, nothing happened, and he felt that he had made a good choice for the first time in his life. His smile widened as he said, "See? What did I tell you? You have to take things into your own hands sometimes to—"
Before he could even continue speaking, every eyeball that touched the fine powder cracked and broke apart. Shane's eyes squinted. He had an idea that this might happen. That was why he didn't want his host to go berserk like that, but….
Nevermind. This wasn't the time to think of what-ifs anymore. He quickly glanced at the radar and spoke to his host in a cold tone, "Head over to North. You can find a place to hide there."
That was the only place in the entire area that didn't have any eyeballs around. For some reason, beyond the eyeballs, everything was dark and they couldn't see the end of this scenario. Just that small space at the distance was the only thing that didn't have glowing dots at the moment.
But Shane also knew that even that place could be filled with danger, otherwise, there wouldn't be something that could stop these eyeballs from infiltrating every piece of land.
Noah also realized that his mistake had caused the situation to worsen. He gulped as he put the sword back into his inventory as his hands trembled.
He took deep breaths as he licked his lips and said, "I-I'm sorry!"
"Save it!" Shane suppressed his anger and said, "If you don't want to die, just run."
Noah didn't wait any more seconds as he rushed forward without hesitation. He tried to not step onto those eyeballs, but it couldn't be avoided because they were everywhere. After a while, the feeling of frustration grew stronger in his heart.
A moment later, he stopped caring about the eyeballs and brazenly rushed onward toward the North. Shane watched everything, but he said nothing. He also knew that they couldn't avoid stepping onto those things. So they might as well rush forward at their full speed.
Soon enough, the eyeball grew bigger and bigger to the point that it almost looked like a two-story building. Being stared at by such a big eyeball gave Noah the creeps. He gulped and ran with all his strength.
He could feel that eye staring intently at him as he spoke, "System, don't you have something like an invisibility cloak?"
"Let me see," even though he could tell that there wouldn't be anything like that at a cheaper rate, he still wanted to search for it. It wasn't very appropriate to take control of the host's body by spending Crana like this. He might probably end up becoming bankrupt at this speed.
He also wanted his host to become independent so that the boy could learn to accomplish the tasks without needing his help in any way.
As Shane glanced at the shopping center inside the job section, he noticed there was a potion that could make one invisible for a moment, but it was too costly, and not worth it. It only had three drops and could only make one visible for a few seconds.
If one was in a situation of life and death, they could buy it to save their life. Shane could have thought about purchasing it, but his host didn't have that kind of money. He sighed and said, "It's too costly."
"Can you lend me money?"
"I don't have that kind of money!" Shane glanced at the radar that showed the color of the monster had almost turned red. As he remembered, this shade of red never showed up in the radar until now. It was pure, blood red that sparkled now and then, as if it were blinking.
As he was watching, the field gradually came closer and closer until they saw a white mountain-like thing in the distance, sparkling at the same time. Anyone would sigh in relief after seeing this scene. It was similar to seeing a shade and a lake amidst the desert.
Noah was similarly happy. He smiled as his shoulders relaxed. His feet ran faster and faster at this time.
It was just that Shane could feel something off. He narrowed his eyes on the mountain. This was the floor of darkness, and he couldn't even see the sky. So how would a mountain appear at this place out of nowhere?
Just as they came closer, the appearance of the mountain became clearer. After seeing it closely, both Noah's and Shane's eyes widened as they stared at the scene with widened eyes.
This mountain really wasn't something they had expected!
