BXBX NOVEL Chapter 24: Shaman
As soon as Silva saw the cyclops, he used Dragon Eyes to look at it, and then he saw it—the massive energy in the eye.
He didn\'t know how to put it, but that eye was definitely the cause of the death of the party.
"Whatever you guys do, don\'t look it in the eye; it will eat up your existence," Silva said as he took his sword and got into his stance.
"Quin, I don\'t know how to make plans. Make one that will help us kill it without anyone looking at it," Silva asked Quin for help.
"Alright, everyone, make sure you are in constant motion. Rock, you take the left arm. No matter what, focus only on the arm.
Roy, take the right arm. Mike and Roxy, take the left leg; I\'ll take the right. We will leave the upper body to Silva.
No matter what happens, try not to look up and focus strictly on the part of the body that was assigned to you, do you understand?" Quin made a plan immediately.
Silva was shocked at the efficiency of his brother; he made a plan like it was nothing.
Now that they had a plan, Silva charged at the cyclops with the others behind him.
With his Dragon Eyes activated, he didn\'t need to worry about the eyes; he could look at the cyclops, but the others didn\'t have that. That was why he was the best person to take the frontal attack.
The stats of this cyclops were a bit higher than the chimera\'s, but not by much.
The cyclops tried to squash Silva as he was headed its way, but Mike, Roxy, and Quin attacked both legs out of nowhere.
Their blades dug deeply into the cyclops\'s legs and drew a lot of blood. The cyclops was forced to step back.
It tried to use its hands to stop its fall, but then Rock used his strength to slam into one hand as soon as it touched the ground, while Roy blasted the other hand with a fireball.
The cyclops fell to the ground. Before it could move, Silva leaped into the air and slashed down, splitting the head into two.

The body of the cyclops disappeared and left a large crystal. Silva picked it up and put it away.
"There are two more headed this way," Silva said.
"The normal plan will not work for them," Quin said.
"No need to worry, I\'ll take one out; you guys handle the second one," Silva said. Nobody argued since they knew he could do it.
The cyclops came, two of them, and like the first time, they didn\'t look it in the eyes.
Silva ran to one of the cyclops and then activated something he hadn\'t used in a long time—his abyss magic, Gates of Hell.
He took his sword and cut his arm, causing blood to splash out. A small black hole appeared and consumed the blood before turning into a large black gate with a giant skull.
The cyclops saw the gate and was filled with fear, but before it could move, the gates opened and a powerful suction force drew out the soul of the cyclops, permanently locking it in the abyss for torture.
The only way for the soul to get out was when Silva would use Consume to eat the soul in the abyss for extra EXP.
The empty husk, that was the body of the cyclops, fell to the ground and disappeared as well, leaving a crystal.
"So removing the soul is not the same as removing the existence. I wonder how the eyes of this cyclops do it," Silva said.
He walked to the side and leaned against the wall to watch the others fight.
This time, Quin was the one taking the frontal attack, while Roxy and Mike took a leg each. It wasn\'t long before they toppled the cyclops, and Quin stabbed the heart.
The cyclops disappeared and left a crystal as well.
The party managed to get rid of the cyclops without expending much energy, so they immediately headed deeper.
As they went deeper, Silva could still feel that energy, and it was getting stronger.
It had been a while since they fought goblins, but they soon came across a group of well-armed hobgoblins.
These goblins were by far more coordinated and stronger; they used formations to attack, with the swordsmen in the front and the archers at the back.
Silva wondered how they got this coordination, and then he noticed a goblin at the far back holding a purple glowing crystal.
Goblins evolved in many ways, but the first evolution was to a hobgoblin. After that, there was the goblin warrior, chief, mage, and lots more.
But there was one specifically that used groups of goblins to attack and was known for their high intelligence and magic, and those were goblin shamans.
From what he had read about goblins, he could guess that this was a goblin shaman.
\'It will probably give a good fight,\' Silva thought.
He ran and leaped over the entire group of goblins, landing in front of the shaman.
The shaman leaped back in a panic and used its crystal to control the goblins to attack Silva, but the party started attacking the goblins, stopping them from focusing on Silva.
"Fight me with your own power. I want to see what your magic is capable of," Silva said as he dashed towards the shaman. The shaman stretched its hand out, and an earth wall formed between them.
Silva sliced through the wall as soon as it formed, continuing towards the shaman. The shaman started firing earth bullets as it retreated, trying to keep its distance.
But Silva closed the distance in mere seconds.
