Eye System

Chapter 106: Death Match

The two identical robed figures faced off against their 5 opponents, prepared for their battle to the death.

With a burst of speed, Lex dashed towards the left signalling for the swordsman to follow him with his blades.

The swordsman knew that splitting up would make them lose their advantage in numbers and it would be very hard to defeat Lex in a one on one, but seeing that Lex formed a clone he assumed that it would have weakened him and formulated a plan that was most likely to succeed in the current situation.

"He is weakened now with the clone that he somehow formed, I will battle with the original who has the girl wrapped to his back while you guys work together to defeat the clone then support me against the original" he ordered to the rest of his squad and the bandit leader, who all gave him a nod in affirmation.

All of them not only had the desire to get out of here alive, but were also driven by their greed and the hopes of gaining some sort of skill or treasures that somebody as mysterious as their opponent might have.

With a plan of action that seemed feasible, they were all prepared to kill Lex and win their death match as the swordsman rushed after Lex and the rest of them charged at Lex's clone with the 3 tanks at the front and the blonde archer supporting them from a distance.

[They fell right into my trap underestimating my clone's ability and how quickly I can defeat the dual swordsman] thought Lex to himself with a wicked smile.

Lex put them in a situation where there was only one seemingly feasible solution, but what they thought was the best option for them was actually exactly what Lex wanted.

It was an incredible battle to behold as Lex and the dual swordsman clashed blades at incredible speeds, but what the swordsman was realising that Lex was improving during the battle.

The dual swordsman had trained in dual-wielding blades since a child by his grandfather and was extremely experienced, skilled and talented in their use.

Yet for the first time, he was feeling suppressed in a battle of blades, but it wasn't due to his power but due to his ever-improving technique.

It was the first time for Lex, experiencing the effects of the enhanced perceptivity that the Perceptive Eye gave him and without realising it, he was memorising, understanding and countering the swordsman's blade technique while battling him.

Within a minute Lex had gained the complete advantage in the battle and knew that it was only a matter of time before he was able to deal a fatal strike to the swordsman that was now staying on the defensive.

Meanwhile, with the tree tanks charging at Lex's clone and the blonde archer firing arrows at it from behind, it wasn't fazed in the slightest.

The bandit leader had slightly higher speed than the other two large hunters and with the support of three powerful hunters and the assumption that the clone was weak, he had complete confidence in defeating the clone.

With a wide yet powerful swing with his mace at the Spacial clones head, it swiftly ducked under and dashed to the side.

The Body Jolt skill that Lex had attempted to copy and memorise from the Eye Demon was very different from teleportation and also wasn't instant like it would seem to those that were slow and weak.

It was a skill whereby it would use the link with the spacial element to jolt the user's body forwards through space itself using his Spacial Eye as the centre and would still require for Lex to have a clear path otherwise the skill would stop as it hits the solid object or being in its way as he can't jolt himself through a person, with his current ability.

Having begun to cultivate using the Mental Void Method, his affinity and understanding of the spacial element had increased massively, but what he knew was merely a grain of sand in a desert comparing it to the entire profound law of space.

The skill was a mere replica of what he had experienced the Eye Demon do with his body and he knew that he had yet to tap into the true skill or learn it otherwise he would have received a notification from the system.

Rapidly the clone began to accumulate everything it knew about the Spacial Element and with its mental state that was always in the Void Mentality state without emotion to hinder his mind, he tapped into his eyes and space around him as instead of forcefully attempting to push himself through space in the way that Lex had attempted, he calmly flowed through space and jolted himself to behind the blonde archer that was in the clear path ahead of him.

The clone had all the knowledge and memories that Lex had and knew about the death of Angela in the past reality, but was unaffected by emotion and had ordered that it had to follow as it formed a sabre with the Item Creation skill and swiftly and ruthlessly sliced off the head of the archer.

Formed by half of Lex's energy, who was an Earth Mortal, the clone had an approximate cultivation LVL of around 70 both externally and internally, which was below that of the hunter's squad, but with his clear mind, skills and knowledge that Lex had, it was still capable of easily sneak attacking the archer and killing her in one strike.

There was a thud and a gush of blood as the archer's head fell off her body and rolled away as the rest of her body collapsed backwards causing a loud thud.

Instantly the clone having completed his first order, dashed towards Lex to support him and complete his second command.

However before he got there, there was a large surge in lightning energy as the dual swordsman in a final bid to defeat Lex released his ultimate attack, but in that moment of activating the skill, he was stabbed by Lex's right short sword into his heart.

It was a sure kill but knowing that all the energy that was being controlled would now be emitted, Lex burst back as quickly as he could as there was a large explosion and the outwards gust of wind launched Lex flying backwards.

Regaining stability, Lex flipped in mid-air and stabbed his two blades into the ground as he slid backwards and reached a halt.

Lex had a sudden idea that he wanted to experiment with, inspired by the explosion he just saw, but instead of trying it straight away, he knew that he should defeat the last 3 survivors before he left.

The two burly hunters, one with a shield and the other with gauntlets, were furious and in the same way as in Lex's last reality, they charged at him angrily wanting to kill him.

But unlike in his past reality, Lex had no fear or was weaker than them as he dashed towards them as well.

Seeing the situation, the bandit leader using the two surviving hunters as a distraction rushed off towards his large mount beast that was pulling the cage filled with young females.

"Go and kill him for me, then return to my side" ordered Lex to his clone that was beside him, that didn't want to spare anybody.

With another order, the clone dashed after the huge bandit leader.

Meanwhile, Lex was remembering the painful beating he was given by the two large hunters and couldn't help but want to get some sort of revenge against them.

Just as they were about to clash, Lex jumped into the air in between them and launched a sidewards kick with all of the power in his legs, mid-air at both of their heads.

If not for their size and strength, anybody at the same LVL as them would have had their neck snapped, but they were launched sidewards as their heads crashed onto the ground.

They were both now dizzy and disorientated as they tried to get up, but they wouldn't be able to recover quickly from such a strike and both had concussions.

Lex felt satisfied as he saw the large figures on the ground unable to get up form a simple kick of his to the head.

Lex was always racing against time and didn't have the luxury of having time to waste, so without any remorse and with his blades rapidly slashed both of them multiple times making sure to avoid fatal spots, but also not merely giving them flesh wounds and gave the wounds that it would be almost impossible to recover from.

Walking away, he could hear their screams of pain but instead of feeling guilt or any negative feelings from it he, in turn, felt joy at his current power and ability to defeat them with ease.

[You really are an evil bastard just like myself] stated the Eye Demon shocked by Lex's ruthlessness.

Lex just smiled and ignored the Eye Demon that just frustrated him even more as he walked over towards where he could see his clone chasing after the bandit leader.

The bandit leader seeing the clone dashing after him was beginning to worry for his life and breaking the chain that attached his mount onto the cage he jumped onto this mount and rode off into the distance.

The clone knowing it wouldn't be able to cover the distance quickly enough and his energy that was dwindling and wouldn't be able to sustain him chasing after the bandit by relying on the copied Body Jolt Skill was about to form a bow and arrow, before he was called back.

"Clone, come back" called out Lex.

Lex wasn't scared about anything that the bandit leader was capable of and knew that it would be extremely difficult or maybe even impossible for them to catch up to him while he was riding on his mount.

Despite all the bandit leaders sins and how much Lex wanted to kill him so that there was one less scum in the world, he saw the young girls were safe and didn't have the energy or speed to catch up to the mount.

"Now to test out my new idea" he mumbled to himself excitedly.
