The Eye of Osiris was a gem that belonged to Demigoddess Osiris who had an ability that was strong enough to even look into the past of gods like Karyk. This was also the ability which gave her an ability to know things that others didn't, helping her take decisions accordingly.
It was said that this was also the reason Osiris was very peculiar about who she associated with. She never used her abilities to help others.
However, unlike Osiris, the gem that came into being after her death only had a fraction of her strength. Let alone being able to look through the past of gods, it couldn't even look through things directly associated with them... Things like the stone of time and the Grimoire of Necromancy. Whenever it tried, it only faced a dark cloud that stopped it.
The gem could only help someone look through ordinary items and Numens associated with Demigods.
As soon as Gabriel touched the earring with the Eye of Osiris, the gem started shining brightly. A lot of information suddenly gushed inside Gabriel's head through the eye of Osiris.
It was as if Gabriel was living through that time, watching everything from a third person's view.
In the first vision, Gabriel found a boy lying on the ground. His head was bleeding, but he was still conscious.
Not too far from the boy, there was a woman who was lying dead on the ground. The woman had similar facial features to that boy. Looking at her age, Gabriel could feel that the woman was probably her mother.
There was also a man, whose legs were cut. The man and the boy were surrounded from all sides by people who seemed to be bandits.
The man was begging the bandits to at least let their son leave, but the bandits were only laughing heartlessly. It didn't seem as if they were going to let anyone leave alive.
The little boy watched his father be killed as well, unable to do anything. The bandits didn't even stop there and moved over to the boy.
Gabriel watched the entire scene, slightly curious. Since this was shown by the Eye of Osiris, that meant this had something to do with Demigod Alion who owned the Earring.
He was sure that one person in the entire scene was Alion, and most probably that person was the young boy.
"We would've loved to sell you as a slave in three market, but too bad that's not feasible. We are tasked to kill you. So be it!" The leader of the bandits raised his Sword, ready to slice.
The little boy closed his tear filled eyes that were filled with anger and indignation.
"Boss! Someone is coming!" Just as the sword was about to touch the boy, one of the bandits exclaimed.
The Bandit King stopped and turned around. "What are you telling me that for? No matter who it is, kill him! No one who saw us today shall be left alive!"
Gabriel also looked in the distance. Looking at the person who had arrived, he couldn't help but scratch the back of his head. "These guys are doomed it seems..."
He was sure that the boy was going to live since he was Demigod Alion in the future. He just didn't know how. However, now that he saw the person who had just arrived, he understood how Alion survived.
The young man who was arriving was traveling on a horse. He didn't even seem to care about his surroundings. There was a blood red sword hanging on the man's back.
"Demigod Ulien," Gabriel muttered, recognising that man. The man not only had the strength to destroy other Demigods with ease, but he also had a very short temper. If not for him facing off against Karyk accidentally, Gabriel was sure that Ulien wouldn't have died that soon.
For someone like him to deal with a few bandits was certainly an overkill according to him.
Gabriel could only pity the bandits that attacked Ulien without knowing the demon that they were provoking.
Just as he expected, Ulien was angered right away. In a single strike, he killed all the bandits who were standing in his path. Even the Bandit King couldn't survive.
The only person still alive was Alion. Ulien didn't care for Alion who was injured. He simply got back on his horse and left...
Gabriel watched Ulien leave. "Looking at his attire he's wearing, and his age, there should not be much time before he's killed by Karyk."
Looking in Alion's eyes, he realized that this was also the moment... The moment when Alion realized the importance of strength. He wanted to be strong like Ulien. He knew that if he was stronger, he could've protected his family from all troubles. His family wouldn't have died.
The vision changed. In the next few scenes, Gabriel saw Alion train as hard as he could, to becoming as strong as possible. He didn't even care about his life as he trained, slowly increasing his strength. There were many times when Alion was close to death's door in his training, but he didn't care.
It was unclear when it happened, but Alion became a Demigod, selected by the chaotic energy that gave him immense physical strength. His skin became so hard that even swords couldn't penetrate his skin.
When it came to physical strength, he was the strongest. However, his spiritual strength was the weakest amongst all the Demigods. He couldn't use any magic, only relying on his own strength.
The cross-shaped earrings that Gabriel now possessed was also one of the two earrings that Alion used to wear.
The vision showed Gabriel a lot of things, related to Alion, but there was one thing it didn't show. The eye of Osiris didn't show Gabriel just how Alion died. Just what led to Alion's death... Someone who had such powerful physical strength? And what happened to the second earring? Was that also a Numen? Gabriel still had many questions.
Unfortunately, he was pushed out of the vision, coming back to his senses. He didn't know the end of Alion.
Since he couldn't get an answer, he sent the eye of Osiris back and tried another method. He used the method to bind the earring to himself, using his own blood. When binding, it gave him a small chance of being able to know more things, especially from the memories stored in the earring of strength.
He used a small knife to slightly cut his thumb and used his own blood to create his unique binding formation. The last owner of the earring was dead, so he doesn't worry about failing. He was left curious about the past…
