Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son

Aldred looked at the Ancient Living Eye which was turned into a stone. Its size was slightly bigger than Xer Xai, and Xer Xai was more than 300 meters tall.

The stone cracked, shooting out blinding lights in every direction, and then it shattered. Aldred squinted his eyes, and he noticed a golden key float as the stones crumbled and fell.

Aldred approached the key and reached out with his hand. The key let out a radiant light which made his heart calm and tranquil. It had some sort of soothing effect, and even everyone else calmed down when they saw that. The petrification spell was broken, and most of the treasure hunters there survived. It was all thanks to Aldred who quickly killed the Ancient Living Eye.

If not, then all of them would be stones by now.

Grabbing the key, Aldred heard the voice of angels singing from above, and an ethereal light came down. Aldred looked upward and saw shining particles spinning around and condensing before materializing into a chest with magic circles sparkling all around it.

The chest slowly went down and stopped in front of him.

"Is this my reward?" Aldred asked himself.

Stella swam and stopped beside him, staring at the chest. "Open it. There might be something good in there."

Aldred inserted the key into the chest and opened it.

Click!

A purple eye floated out of the chest with purple sparkles all over it.

[Eye of Fate (Incomplete)]

Contains the power of the Ancient Living Eye. Collect Living Eye's Essence to complete it.

"Wow. If I complete this eye, I can even control fate in the future."

Even Stella was excited to hear that. As a star magician, she could predict fate and destiny, but changing it was out of her control. If Aldred could control his own fate… that would be a power that anyone would sell a soul to get.

Aldred reached out with his hand, about to grab the eye.

"Stop!"

A man appeared with a dozen or so subordinates. He looked at Aldred with a frown. "I am the son of Lord Wargdon, the governor of Town Wargdon. This Sea Tomb falls under my father's territory, and therefore everything here is mine, including that eye."

Aldred sneered.

"I am not asking you to give the eye to me. It is mine, to begin with."

The three figures glared at the man in annoyance. The three of them were Elite Gold Rank, but they were also lone wolves. Occasionally, the son of a noble would come and steal their treasure. This made them feel resentment towards the man.

Aldred smiled again. He had seen this situation far too many times. He got something, and someone would try to take it from him. Classic.

Seeing the lack of response, the man was enraged. "Guards, kill this man for his disobedience! No one will respect my father if his laws are not enforced!"

The guards nodded and were about to attack Aldred until a bloody red shadow fluttered past the young master.

The young man widened his eyes, and to the shock of the guards, the man's neck got separated from his body. When they see what the bloody red shadow was, they noticed it was another Aldred.

There were two Aldred!

"That's my clone if you are wondering," Aldred said with a smile, though for the guards, that smile looked like the smile of a devil.

The guards were shocked. They couldn't even see the clone move. In less than a second, the young master they had served was killed!

How could a clone be this powerful? Their young master was an Elite Gold Rank.

They were so shocked and terrified, so they decided not to attack Aldred and dragged their master's body as they retreated.

"You're a brave one," the lizardman complimented. "Most people will give in."

"More like a foolish one. His territory is near, and you let the guards escape with his body. What do you think his father would do?" The silver-haired girl said.

"If I remember correctly, Wargdon is the territory of the lizardfolk," Aldred said.

"That is true, but Wargdon is located on a small island. We don't really care if a human takes control of it. In fact, they pay us a lot of taxes. And, those are the government's problems, not mine. I am a lone lizardman."

"Cough cough," the man in power armor began. "Sorry to disrupt, but is there any chance that you will sell that eye?"

"Do you have anything worth as much as this eye?" Aldred asked with a smile.

The man in power armor smiled. "No. I have nothing."

Aldred grabbed the eye and squeezed it. It exploded like a balloon, and purple mist entered Aldred's eyes.

Aldred closed his eyes as various abilities entered his mind. Most of them were incomplete, but that was fine, he could collect more essence to strengthen the skill. Apparently, it can absorb other essences too, so he didn't have to hunt for Living Eyes specifically, but they did give more essence.

If he remembered correctly, level 90 was Platinum Rank.

So he was 10 levels away from reaching that? Was it that simple? No, there had to be some sort of blockade that he had to break through. Like one of those cultivation novels that he had read.

Well, the treasure that he looked for was supposed to help him reach Platinum Rank, and even reach Adamantite Rank.

Aldred stared at a random creature and activated his Eyes of Fate. Suddenly, the creature mutated into a devil-like beast, and it aggressively pounced on him.

Aldred slapped the beast, exploding its entire body. "That work," Aldred said. "Let's find more Living Eyes if it's possible. That way I can strengthen this eye's power."

Aldred proceeded towards the gate where the Ancient Living Eye came from. His wives and soldiers followed, and so did the others. They didn't have anyone to rely on, and now that they understood how dangerous this tomb was, going further from Aldred would be a death wish.

Going further, Aldred saw a staircase that led downward. The whole tomb was filled with water, so they didn't have to walk. Aldred swam down, telling his wives to do the same.

Stella sent out numerous star particles that lit up the place. Aldred didn't need it since he had activated his godly eyes all the time. He didn't want the enemy to catch him off guard.

After swimming down for a while, they arrived in a narrow hall, and then they saw something standing in the distance.
