Chapter 652: Madness and Lu Ka

【Attention!】

【You have been hit by 'Miss Lu Ka's Eye of Madness'!】

【And received the following negative effects: Madness, Fear, Memory Confusion, Hate Resonance (sharing Miss Lu Ka's hate, uncontrollably attacking the nearest creature within line of sight), Illusions】

【'Will of the Firmament' exemption successful!】

Rod's gaze softened.

He had been staring tightly at the text on the panel; the moment something seemed off, he would immediately activate 【Blood and Bone Boiling】.

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

The 【Fabio's Soul-Seizing Gaze】 inflicted by the ancient lizardmen during his previous source-tracking in the Wind Wall Forest had caused him considerable hidden harm.

Rod began to worry that the mental resistance of 【Will of the Firmament】 was insufficient.

In terms of physical combat, he feared nothing; his numerous methods allowed him to gain advantages in various ways.

But mentally, it was different.

【Will of the Firmament】 was his only mental defense; ever since it was pierced by Fabio, once happened, twice would follow, and his confidence plummeted.

"Perhaps I should go to Emerald City and look for the Ancient Tree of the Firmament, Eva?"

The current situation did not allow him to think too much.

The Star Spirit Young Lady beside him had made full preparations before entering the Moon-Gazing Hall.

Protective spells, magic items that punished on her behalf, potions temporarily enhancing mental resistance, and so on.

But after being gazed upon by the giant eyeball in the dome, they all lost their effect.

Haley let out a muffled groan.

The spells shattered, the punishment-eye in her hand exploded like a watermelon, and two dark-blue blood-snakes spread down from her nose.

Her legs went weak, she half-kneeled, and her face sank into extreme pain.

Rod held her in his arms, increasing the contact area so that 【Green Vine Mutual Healing】 could function more effectively.

The embrace was forceful, almost pressing her entire body against his.

There was no time now to notice the soft sensation on his chest.

The token rule of the Moon-Gazing Hall required two units to enter to trigger it.

Haley's entry was indispensable.

It was said that the previous eyeball illusions were very weak; even a low-intelligence vanguard with a simple layer of mental protection could pass.

Compared to the present, it was hardly different from kindergarten.

Rod originally intended to use "Spiritual Symbiosis" to share the past of 【Will of the Firmament】, but upon checking, he realized.

This super-powerful buff-sharing he had relied on all along required a full 700 points of Growth Spirituality; Rod, with only around 400 points, simply could not afford it.

No choice.

He could only rely on the 【Green Vine Mutual Healing】 of the Grass Domain to get through it.

"Wuwuwu"

The sobbing sound grew much louder.

From a faint sound in a distant corner, it became a low cry right before his face.

This was not a mental attack, but something real and tangible.

Domain power flickered in Rod's eyes; 【Insight Demon Eye】 stared directly at the eyeball above.

He said coldly, "Pretending to be a god? If you have something to say, just spit it out."

The crying sound stopped abruptly.

The giant pale eyeball rolled once, actually revealing a degree of human emotion.

And the twelve silver chains extending from the sealed crystal trembled violently; the blurred runes on their surfaces began to emit a spiritual light.

"Interesting."

A majestic female voice rang out, "Is your race human?"

"No, actually I am a lizardman."

"Hehe... no need to joke with me; I can access the memories of those around you. Oh—now it is the Fourth Era, Eberron, May 21, Year 866. Good, good, not late, not late."

Rod frowned.

The way it spoke was as if it had booked an alarm clock in advance, and the alarm clock had not been late.

"What do you want?"

"What? What am I doing? I forgot; it seems I voluntarily discarded that part of the memory to avoid having the plan's content read."

"Who are you?"

"I am the Moon God, Lu Ka. Young man, are you willing to become my proxy? I can grant you infinite treasure, lifespan, and abilities."

"No."

Rod glanced at the twelve silver chains.

The runes on them were buzzing and trembling, almost detaching, and the situation was still worsening.

Judging by this situation, even without much interference, they would break and release after some time.

A temple to sacrifice to the Moon God?

No, this was probably a cage sealing the Moon God.

In the source-tracking memories, Fabio had once told that senior forest ranger, "We must prevent the revival of the First Era, where the evil god Lin Li and the Outer Gods descend in madness."

If there truly were gods in the First Era, then a proper god should not be sealed away, right?

Then, does the revival of that evil god happen right now?

The pale eyeball was not discouraged; it suddenly understood and said:

"A woman? Or a woman of a different race? Strange hobbies, but I can satisfy you, including the Star Spirit in your arms."

Clearly, it had read Haley's memories again.

The pale pupils flickered with light.

The Young Lady Star Spirit let out a soft moan and woke up, slowly raising her head to look at Rod. The desire and longing in her eyes were terrifyingly mad.

"Rod... Rod..."

She leaned forward, lightly touching the man's lips. With satisfaction, the emotions in her eyes grew even more intense.

Then came a domineering yet clumsy kiss and invasion.

Rod had always accepted all comers, and now with a legitimate reason, he offered no resistance.

He displayed astonishing kissing skills: burying, teasing, scraping, rolling, and hooking.

In less than a moment, Haley trembled uncontrollably. Mere oral contact made her so comfortable she couldn't breathe, gasping for air in heavy, continuous breaths.

Warm, moist breath followed.

Rod's fingers pressed against a certain vertebra on her back, rubbing and kneading back and forth.

The succubus at home particularly loved this technique.

The Young Lady Star Spirit was clearly stimulated as well, reacting even more intensely.

The eyeball on the dome watched with great interest, observing in silence.

They kissed for a while longer.

Haley then collapsed completely, going limp in Rod's arms, the desire in her eyes gradually fading.

At the same time, the deep contact allowed 【Green Vine Mutual Healing】 to work with quite good effect.

She also successfully overcame the negative status of 【Miss Lu Ka's Mad Eye】.

"R-Rod?"

Her beautiful face covered in drool, she looked up in a daze.

Haley felt the whole body was incredibly refreshing yet sticky.

It was as if... as if in a lonely night, she had been unable to hold back her excitement while reading scenes from an overly explicit shoujo manga.

But intense drowsiness and dizziness struck, and she could only lie dazed in Rod's arms.

"Oh?"

The pale eyeball emitted a voice of shock.

"Truly remarkable! What realm is this? But it's not strong enough. I can still curse this Young Lady Star Spirit again. How about it? Become my proxy."

Rod ignored it.

After waiting a while, he confirmed that the situation Haley mentioned—"a token appears after enduring the illusion"—had not occurred.

The amorous Young Lady Star Spirit in his arms had somewhat piqued his interest.

"'Pale Eye'... 'Pale Eye'..."

Rod muttered a few words.

Suddenly, he looked up at the sealed pale pupil in the sky, grinned, and said, "The strength isn't high. Might as well give it a try."

The pupil on the dome, seeing the human's smile full of malice below, couldn't help but pause for a moment.

For no reason, it suddenly felt a thread of fear.

But it still forced itself to continue persuading: "Human Rod, become my proxy. I can even grant you a demigod's realm... Damn it! What are you doing before the Moon God!"

The giant pupil suddenly contracted sharply.

On the surface of the transparent sealing crystal, Rod's slowly rising figure was reflected.

In the blurry reflection, it seemed he wasn't wearing pants.

The great dragon roared angrily at the eyeball.

Rod stood proudly with his arms crossed over his chest.

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