Chapter 652: Madness and Lucas

【WARNING!】

【You have been struck by “Lucas’s Mad Eye”!】

【You have acquired the following negative effects: Madness, Fear, Memory Confusion, Hatred Resonance (share Lucas’s hatred, uncontrollably attack the nearest creature within line of sight), Hallucinations】

【“Will of the Heavens” resistance successful!】

Luo De’s gaze softened.

He had been staring at the text on the panel; the moment anything felt off, he would immediately activate 【Bone and Blood Boil】.

【Bone and Blood Boil: Consume your own blood to forcibly enhance any one attribute resistance; the strength of the enhancement depends on the amount of blood consumed.】

The ancient lizardman’s 【Fabio’s Soul-Gazing Gaze】 he suffered during the Suyuan in the Windwall Forest had cost him dearly.

Luo De began to worry that his 【Will of the Heavens】’ mental resistance was insufficient.

In physical combat, he wasn’t afraid of anything—he had too many tools to gain advantages in countless ways.

But mentally, he was vulnerable.

【Will of the Heavens】 was his only mental defense; ever since Fabio pierced it, one breach led to another, and his confidence plummeted.

“Maybe I should go to Jade City and look for the Skytree Eva again?”

The current situation left him no time to ponder.

The Star-Spirit lady beside him had prepared thoroughly before entering the Moon-Gazing Hall.

Protective spells, punitive magical artifacts, potions to temporarily boost mental resistance—all of it.

But once the giant eye on the ceiling stared at them, every single one failed.

Haley let out a muffled groan.

Her spells shattered; the punitive eyeball in her hand exploded like a watermelon, and two dark blue streams of blood trickled from her nostrils.

Her legs buckled; she sank to one knee, her face twisted in extreme agony.

Luo De pulled her into his arms, increasing contact area to maximize the effect of 【Green Vine Mutual Healing】.

He hugged her tightly, nearly pressing her entire body against his own.

There was no time to notice the softness of her chest.

The Moon-Gazing Hall’s artifact rule required two units to enter to trigger it.

Haley’s entry was essential.

I heard the previous eye hallucinations were pathetic—even a frontline with no intelligence and a basic mental defense could pass.

Compared to this, it was like kindergarten.

Luo De had planned to use “Spiritual Symbiosis” to share his 【Will of the Heavens】 buff, but then he checked.

This powerful buff he’d relied on for so long required 700 Growth Spirit—he only had around 400, far too little to afford it.

No choice.

He could only rely on 【Green Vine Mutual Healing】 from the Grass Domain to push through.

“Woooh…”

The sobbing grew louder.

It shifted from a faint whisper in the corner to a low cry right before him.

This wasn’t a mental attack—it was a real, tangible presence.

Luo De’s eyes flickered with domain power; 【Insight Demon Eye】 locked onto the eye above.

He said coldly: “What’s all this ghostly nonsense? Spit it out.”

The sobbing stopped instantly.

The massive pale eye rolled, revealing a flicker of human emotion.

The twelve silver chains extending from the sealed crystal trembled violently; the blurred runes on their surface began glowing with spiritual light.

“Interesting.”

A commanding female voice rang out: “Your race is human?”

“No, actually I’m a lizardman.”

“Heh. Don’t joke with me—I can read the memories of those around you. Oh—now it’s the Fourth Era, Year 866 of Aibolong, May 21st. Good, good, not late, not late.”

Luo De frowned.

It sounded like it had set an alarm clock in advance—and the alarm hadn’t been late.

“What do you want?”

“Want? What do I want? I forgot—I voluntarily discarded this part of my memory to prevent my plans from being read.”

“Who are you?”

“I am Luna, the Moon Deity. Young man, would you like to become my Vessel? I shall grant you infinite wealth, lifespan, and power.”

“No.”

Luo De glanced at the twelve silver chains.

The runes on them trembled violently, nearly breaking free—and the situation was worsening.

At this rate, even without interference, they would snap and break in time.

A temple dedicated to the Moon Deity?

No—this was more likely a prison sealing the Moon Deity.

In his Suyuan memories, Fabio had told the former forest warden: “We must prevent the revival of the First Era—when false gods rose and outer deities went mad and descended.”

If the First Era truly had deities, wouldn’t a real, legitimate god never be sealed away?

Then—is the revival of this false god happening now?

The pale eye did not lose heart; it suddenly understood:

“A woman? Or a woman of another race? Strange preference—but I can satisfy you, including the Star-Spirit in your arms.”

Clearly, it had read Haley’s memories again.

The pale pupils glowed.

The Star-Spirit lady let out a soft moan and woke, slowly lifting her head to look at Luo De—her eyes filled with wild, terrifying desire.

“Luo… Luo De…”

She leaned forward, lightly brushing her lips against his, and her expression deepened with satisfaction.

Then came a forceful, clumsy kiss, an invasion.

Luo De never turned down offers—and now he had justification, so he resisted even less.

He displayed astonishing kissing skill—tongue flicking, scraping, curling, hooking.

In moments, Haley trembled violently; mere oral contact left her breathless, gasping heavily.

Warm, moist breath followed.

Luo De’s fingers pressed against one of her vertebrae, rubbing and kneading.

His home’s succubus especially loved this technique.

The Star-Spirit lady clearly responded strongly—her reactions intensified.

The eye on the ceiling watched, silent and intrigued.

They kissed a while longer.

Haley collapsed completely, limp in Luo De’s arms, her desire slowly fading.

Meanwhile, the deep contact allowed 【Green Vine Mutual Healing】 to work remarkably well.

She successfully overcame the negative effects of 【Lucas’s Mad Eye】.

“Luo… Luo De?”

Her beautiful face was smeared with saliva; she looked up dazedly.

Haley felt utterly euphoric yet sticky.

Like… like on a lonely night, reading a risqué manga scene and involuntarily soaring.

But intense fatigue and dizziness overwhelmed her; she could only lie dazed in Luo De’s arms.

“Oh?”

The pale eye emitted a shocked sound.

“Incredible! What domain is this? But it’s still not strong enough—I can still curse this Star-Spirit lady again. How about it? Become my Vessel.”

Luo De ignored it.

He waited a while, confirming that the situation Haley described—“after enduring the illusion, the artifact appears”—did not occur.

The emotionally stirred Star-Spirit lady in his arms had stirred his own interest.

“Pale Eye. Pale Eye.”

Luo De murmured a few times.

Suddenly he looked up at the sealed pale pupil and grinned: “Weak strength. Let’s give it a try.”

The eye above stared at the human’s malicious smile—and froze for a moment.

For no reason, it felt a flicker of fear.

But it forced itself to continue: “Human Luo De, become my Vessel—I can grant you a demi-god’s domain… Damn it! What are you doing before the Moon Deity!”

The massive pupil contracted sharply.

On the surface of the transparent sealed crystal, Luo De’s slowly rising figure was reflected.

But in the blurry reflection, he seemed to be wearing no pants.

The dragon roared furiously at the eye.

Luo De crossed his arms and stood tall and proud.

"Moon Goddess Lu Ka, I'm going to fuck you."
