Chapter 740 – The Eye of Truth
The swirling gold compressed inward, crystallizing in midair. The containment sphere dissolved around it like melting glass. The golden liquid hardened into a single, perfectly formed eye.
No eyelids.
No lashes.
Just a floating orb with a slit pupil of pure molten gold.
It stared directly at Lux.
The pressure in the vault shifted again, but not violently like the daggers. This was different.
This was… judgment.
Lux stared back.
Zavros shifted uneasily. "It is assessing you."
The Eye rotated once in midair.
Lux extended his hand.
"Come with me."
The Eye did not move.
Lux sighed softly.
"Do I really have to do the dramatic thing every time?"
He bit his thumb again. Third time today. He was going to need a bandage.
A drop of infernal royal blood fell toward the floating eye.
The moment the blood touched its surface, the golden pupil flared bright white.
The vault trembled faintly.
