“Alwyn, if you can control Sun Storm, try not to hit the jewelry store.”
“Got it.” Alwyn nodded.
At that moment, black threads rained down as the dungeon corruption kicked in.
Nighthowl’s Lunar Aegis wrapped around the jewelry store.
The threads struck people and animals outside, triggering their transformation.
Two of them happened to look toward the store.
Joanna had already figured out that the humanoid eyeball monsters attacked through sight, so she hid behind the door. She wasn’t blinded this time, but she saw a black thread shoot inside. A terrified clerk was hit, her eyes bulging horribly before she turned into a monster.
“Ahhh!”
Other clerks screamed, then got caught by the monsters’ gaze and changed as well.
Memory Tome rapidly recorded, “Humans seen by Elite Human Eyeball Monsters will transform into eyeball monsters. Transmission rate: extreme.”
Joanna started piecing together the dungeon’s story.
ncovering each dungeon’s narrative was like reading a record of a parallel universe’s human extinction.
In this parallel plane, humans were likely as physically weak as those in Joanna’s previous life.
The Silver-tier Ring of the Twisted Gaze clearly stated, “A byproduct of an unknown evil god’s casual glance.”
An evil god from some unknowable time, space, or universe had inadvertently cast its gaze upon this planet.
Even an unintentional glance enforced rules beyond what humans could endure.

Joanna, with her replicated talents and explosive stats, found that those monsters couldn’t even breach her defense.
So she lasted the longest.
Inside the shop, clerks transformed one after another just by looking at each other. A few customers changed as well.
Their gazes locked onto Joanna behind the door.
“We see you!”
The single-eyed heads seemed to smirk triumphantly.
Joanna’s vision instantly darkened to grey.
She didn’t panic. Her whip snapped out.
With Heart Strike, being blind wasn’t a problem.
Whoosh!
The whip cracked with Spirit Lash. She heard a pained sound from someone’s throat, but without mouths, they couldn’t scream. Pain still worked, though.
Nighthowl lost his sight as well, but their spiritual link let him sense Joanna’s position. His sword swept out, Spatial Collapse riding each strike. Guided by sound and movement, he cut
own three clerks.
ust then, scorching heat surged in from outside.
Alwyn’s Sun Storm exploded.
Joanna’s vision returned instantly.
The dungeon was cleared again.
“You have obtained Twisted Gaze Strand (Bronze-tier) ×118.”
“You have obtained Twisted Gaze Strand (Silver-tier) 20.”
“You have obtained Ring of the Twisted Gaze (Silver-tier).”

looting.
The store looked lavish but held limited raw gold.
Most had already been turned into jewelry. There were only ten bracelets over 1.06 ounces, plus around 50 other pieces. The rest were lighter rings, earrings, and bracelets under 0.35 ounces.
There were also emeralds and pearls. Not worth as much, but still sellable or giftable.
Joanna packed everything.
Upstairs, she forced open the safe, but it was empty.
Altogether, the gold weighed about nine pounds, worth roughly four million Starcoins.
That was a great haul.
Dungeon clears mattered, but money mattered as well. Money could always be converted into strength.
Once she was done, Joanna exited the dungeon.
Maverick was bursting with questions about the first clear and her rapid return. But before he could ask, Joanna dove back in.
This scene feels so familiar.
It reminded him of their first meeting.
He felt oddly emotional.
He decided not to ask.
He’d just wait.
However, while he waited, others noticed Joanna’s absence from the banquet.
Lucas’s group had already stirred chaos at Ascension Tower, and reporters sensed a story. They rushed to tra in where Joanna had gone.
