As Tycondrius made his way toward his next meal, his thoughts drifted back to his battle with Zaqar.
Tycon could activate ⌈Vexing Gaze⌋ because of his bloodline. It was a growth-type Skill that became more effective along with the development of his physique. One of the reasons he considered himself half-step Adamantine was because with a glance, he was confident in disabling an Adamantine-Rank opponent for several seconds.
If he used his Ocular Ability against a Gold-Rank with average or below average mental defenses, it could cause severe medical complications.
And for those with a less resilient physique (or equipment enchanted to fend against poison or mental attacks like Adal,) an excruciating death was highly likely.
Zaqar also had an Ocular Skill... and one that belonged to a higher tier than his own.
