Eunuch's Rebirth: I Reincarnated With My Manhood as the Young Master - Chapter 43: Through the Third Eye

When Nefarius woke up after dying, he found a third eye implanted in his forehead. He tried to remove it using mana, but there was no way to do so — as if it had been part of his body since birth.

He assumed it was the medium that had revived him, so he decided to leave it be.

But now that the three-eyed being spoke into his mind through that eye, Nefarius realized it also served as a medium for the Three-eyed being to observe him.

That meant the three-eyed being had been watching him from the very start.

Tsk!

Nefarius clicked his tongue. Even he had the pride of a warrior, so it felt unpleasant. But he had to comply, for only with the three-eyed being’s help could he reunite with his love.

Right then, the three-eyed being spoke again in Nefarius’s head.

– Use the Black Hearts and retreat, quickly.

’!?’

At those words, Nefarius’s eyes widened. For the first time, he sensed a trace of fear in the three-eyed being’s voice.

Nefarius had met him face to face before, and he wasn’t someone who could be frightened easily. If Nefarius’s assumption was correct, the three-eyed being’s soul realm was above even the realm of life and death— perhaps equal to that of the celestial beings.

So why did his voice just now carry fear?

Nefarius was perplexed.

Just then, a face flashed before his mind: the face of the crimson-haired man wearing an ash-like mask who had killed the tentacle creature.

Unknown to him, he was Gray von Ashborn, hiding his identity.

Now that he thought about it, he realized something. When that mysterious crimson-haired man appeared, Nefarius had been frozen in place. He tried to move and strike him, but he couldn’t. The third eye on his forehead trembled violently, and streams of blood poured down his face.

This phenomenon continued until Gray struck the tentacled creature.

So now, only one conclusion came to Nefarius’s mind.

’Does this mean the three-eyed being was…?’

Nefarius hurriedly looked toward where Gray had been, his expression hardening.

But Gray was nowhere to be seen. His dark mana had also vanished — as if he had fled.

Just then,

Clang! Slash! Gushkk!

The Dean’s sword moved in a weird pattern and cut Nefarius in half.

“Euugh!” Nefarius had been so immersed in his thoughts that he became careless during the fight.

His upper and lower halves hovered in the air. Then, many thread-like strands of mana shot from his upper body to his lower body, connecting them in an attempt to heal him.

But the Dean didn’t give him the chance and struck at the threads.

Slash!

The threads were cut off, writhing like the bodies of headless snakes.

Nefarius clicked his tongue in frustration. Then he looked at one of the masked men — the one in the Unrestrained Realm, who was engaged in a fight with Professor Joseph.

– Retreat.

Nefarius spoke to him through voice transmission.

The Unrestrained realm masked man nodded and distanced himself from Professor Joseph.

Following him, the other four masked men did the same.

Thrust! Gssskkk!

Then, all five of them simultaneously thrust their hands onto their chests and tore out their hearts.

’!?’

Everyone present was puzzled by their actions. They thought the men had taken their own lives, believing they would be tortured for information.

However, their assumptions were wrong. The five of them were still alive after tearing out their hearts. Moreover, their hearts bore black-colored markings.

Right then, the masked men chanted in a strange language and crushed their hearts.

Crush!

As soon as they did, a black magic circle appeared above them.

At the center of the magic circle, a spacelike portal had opened, with a demonic face on it.

Zzzzppppp….

Since the portal they had come from was completely destroyed, along with the tentacle creature, by Gray’s attack, they had this technique as a backup and intended to escape through it.

Then the portal’s door opened, and black, rope-like tentacles shot from the magic circle, grabbing Nefarius, who had been split in two.

Seeing this, the Dean understood that Nefarius was attempting to escape, so he swung his sword at the tentacles. But before his sword could reach them, the tentacles pulled Nefarius in at light speed, and in seconds the magic circle and Nefarius were gone.

Shiiiin…. zaap!

Silence fell over the battlefield.

Everyone was dumbfounded by the mysterious portal.

“…”

What remained were just the five masked men’s lifeless bodies, but in seconds even they were consumed by black flames.

It seemed they had been burned by the flames of the unknown for using a forbidden spell.

Thus, the long struggle came to an end. The prospective students and professors relaxed and took a deep breath.

Meanwhile, Gray was standing among the prospective students. When Nefarius and the Dean were fighting, he had sneaked in among the students and blended in.

However, he could feel the Dean looking at him. He slightly peeked at the Dean and saw him staring with a smile.

Gray quickly frowned and walked toward Soren Valerian to avoid his gaze.

’It seems he recognized me,’ Gray thought.

It was expected. The Dean had caught onto his faint Abyssal energy when he injected it into the Dange stone slabs, and just now Gray had demonstrated his full Abyssal energy. So him being recognized wasn’t surprising.

As Gray felt awkward, many system notifications popped up before him at once.

“Hohoho.” Seeing the Vitality stat, Gray unknowingly laughed like a eunuch.

However… what is this? Gray wondered, looking at one of the rewards: a Mystery Box.

[Would you like to open the Mystery Box?]

[Yes] [No]

Without much thought, Gray clicked Yes.

Fwoooosh!

With a black wind animation, the Mystery Box rolled within the system and opened like a surprise box.

Ding!
