Chapter 153 - Chapter 153: Controlling the Demon Eye

"The Dragon God is currently in the northeast of the Central Continent, in the direction of the Biheiril Kingdom," Kishirika quickly told Dan Feng and the others.

Since the Dragon God Orsted's curse only affected Hitogami, Kishirika could see Orsted's location.

In theory, she could use her Demon Eyes to see anyone in the world as long as she knew their name—no matter where they were, Kishirika could locate them through her eyes.

Of course, except for certain exceptions.

"Alright, this one has to go now—no time to stay here!" Kishirika suddenly interrupted Dan Feng and the others' thoughts. Her tone sounded somewhat urgent.

With that, she turned without hesitation and ran toward the direction of Rikarisu Town's city gate—her speed was so fast that she was gone like a gust of wind.

Dan Feng watched Kishirika's retreating figure, a trace of doubt rising in his heart.

He didn't know why Kishirika was in such a hurry, but he had no reason to stop her.

After all, everyone had their own matters to attend to, and Kishirika was no exception.

At the same time, Roxy was working hard to control her Foresight Eye.

She tightly closed her eyes; fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead—she was clearly struggling against the Demon Eye.

Despite her best efforts, faint traces of mana continued to flow steadily into the Foresight Eye, causing overlapping afterimages around her and making her feel dizzy and overwhelmed.

Dan Feng stood quietly to the side, watching Roxy grit her teeth as she fought to control her Demon Eye.

As Kishirika had said, with enough practice the Demon Eye could be controlled. Right now, Roxy was diligently practicing to master it.

However, Dan Feng did not step forward to help.

He knew this was Roxy's own matter—only through her own effort could she truly master the power of this Demon Eye.

Still, if Roxy really couldn't hold on any longer, he would step in.

So for now, he could only wait silently, hoping Roxy would successfully gain control over her Demon Eye.

He believed in Roxy's talent—she would surely master this Foresight Eye very quickly.

Time passed slowly. Roxy continued struggling to control her Foresight Eye. The eye was like a leaking dam, constantly draining her mana bit by bit.

Roxy's expression gradually grew more impatient.

At this point, Dan Feng decided to help her a little. Although he wasn't sure if it would work, at the very least it could clear her mind and prevent her from losing reason due to excessive mana drain.

So he cast the Cloud Chant Healing Spell that the system had given him—the same spell he had used earlier to ease the pain when her eye was poked.

A divine white lotus slowly emerged from Dan Feng's hand. Then he crushed the lotus with his palm, turning it into fine white motes of light.

Immediately after, Dan Feng gently placed his faintly glowing hand on top of Roxy's head.

The white motes flowed into Roxy's body like water.

In that instant, Roxy felt an unprecedented clarity wash over her mind, as if her brain had been cleansed by a pure spring—every stray thought swept away.

At the same time, her previously irritable mood gradually calmed, returning her to her usual composure.

Roxy took a deep breath and continued focusing her energy on controlling the Demon Eye.

Although shutting off the Foresight Eye was difficult, she had not given up.

Gritting her teeth, Roxy persisted—finally! Through her unyielding effort, the Demon Eye that had been constantly draining mana slowly faded away.

As the eye deactivated, the ring of light in Roxy's right eye also gradually dissipated.

In the end, the light ring vanished completely, and Roxy's right eye returned to its original water-blue color—clear and bright.

"Haa~" Roxy let out a long sigh of relief and murmured, "Finally under control!" Her voice carried a deep sense of release.

At this moment, fine sweat covered her forehead—this was due to the massive amount of mana she had consumed in such a short time.

However, compared to successfully mastering the Demon Eye, this minor discomfort was negligible.

Roxy's vision was no longer troubled by the Foresight Eye's afterimages—she could now clearly see everything around her.

If she needed to use the Foresight Eye, she only had to channel mana into her right eye; the previous loss of control would never happen again.

By now, the sky had already taken on a faint orange-red hue. The sunset's afterglow draped over every corner of Rikarisu Town like a golden veil.

The setting sun stretched the shadows of the townspeople long—this scene carried an exceptionally atmospheric feeling.

The sun about to sink behind the circular mountain was like a massive fireball, radiating dazzling light and making the entire environment even more enchanting.

"It's already this late? I remember we left Sheep's Hoof Inn when it was still afternoon," Roxy said in disbelief, wondering to herself if controlling the Demon Eye had really taken that long.

"Just in time—we can go have dinner. Tomorrow we'll look for Nokubara," Dan Feng suggested.

Roxy obediently nodded. Then she led Dan Feng to a somewhat rundown place.

This was a restaurant. According to Roxy, adventurers liked to eat here because the prices were very cheap and the food was at least edible.

The problem was—this place also sold alcohol!

In Rikarisu Town, alcohol was a rare commodity. Few people spent the time to brew it, but this shop did it well—that was why adventurers praised it.

Dan Feng told Roxy to order whatever she thought was decent. He had no idea about the food here and didn't want to accidentally pick something terrible.

Afterward, the two waited for the owner to serve the dishes.

At that moment, a conversation from a nearby table caught Dan Feng's attention.

The group had arrived not long ago and had only ordered two cups of alcohol.

"Did you go join the campaign against the Superd? Let me tell you—this time it was the magicians who drove that Superd away," a lizard-man said loudly, his tone full of pride.

"Tch, you really had the guts. What if you actually died?" a horse-faced man said disdainfully. He always valued his life highly and never gambled on anything dangerous.

"Nokubara, I definitely wouldn't die. Worst case, I'd just give him my tail," the lizard-man said, then took a big gulp of alcohol—and predictably choked.

"Cough cough!"

Hearing the name "Nokubara," Dan Feng turned his gaze toward the nearby table and saw a horse-faced man who matched exactly what Roxy had described.
