Eye System

Chapter 11: Kill or be Killed

Surrounded by beasts in each direction apart from behind him, where there was an angelic girl sat, Lex was in a tough situation.

Giant centipede beasts, extremely agile and fast with a hard, brown outer shell and hundreds of legs which are sharp and powerful with frightening front pincers stood before him, yet they seemed to be waiting on the side-lines, similar to the black wasp beasts who returned hovering over the area, wanting to watch the battle and reap the benefits from the aftermath.

The only beasts willing to battle were the giant ant beasts, furious that one of their own was killed and eaten and ants are loyal beasts that work together unlike some other beasts.

Seeing this he believed he had a chance as it was what he wished to have occurred, as if he can take out the giant ants, it will then scare off the rest of the beasts.

Lex's body is still affected by the wasp poison and has lost a lot of blood, so his body could collapse at any moment, so he must finish this battle quickly.

The giant ants have a massive advantage, which is their defence, but also have a massive weakness which is that their antenna which is used for most of their senses that can be easily cut off.

[With the state my body is in now, I will not be able to win in close combat unless they can't see, so I should aim to get their antenna from a distance then get closer for the kill].

Forming a long sabre like blade that had no handle and was hovering in front of him, which he was controlling.

With his eye, he sends it blitzing at the giant ants slicing the lower LVL giant ant's antenna, who were too slow to react. As the rest of the giant ants charged at Lex, but despite his weakened body, he was using his eye and the rest of the strength of his body to keep retreating.

Antennas falling everywhere as the blade slices through all the antennas. The giant ant leader was getting even more furious and charged straight in himself. From his armour's defence and speed, you can tell that he is above LVL 10 and is extremely powerful.

His speed was faster than Lex's, so he lifts his body as he jumps onto a tree branch.

[If you are faster, you still aren't as agile and can't lift your body].

While distracting the giant ant leader, he knew this was the perfect opportunity to take out the rest of the giant ant's antenna. The blade gashes off the antenna of more and more giant ants, and despite the impending doom they were loyal beasts and would never run away without the rest of their troop.

After a few minutes of jumping from tree to tree away from the giant ant leader as he severs the rest of the giant ant's antenna.

"Your subordinates have all lost most of their senses, leaving only you big idiot" provokes Lex as he felt his body feeling droopy and about to collapse and knew he had to finish this now or never.

Kill or be killed.

Eyes red with fury the giant ant beast charges head first like a bull at the Lex who was not prepared and too weak to react or dodge.

BOOM.

Lex was blasted away by the charging ant leader, but the crazy Lex knew he wouldn't be able to dodge and used it as an opportunity to get close and slice off the giant ant leader's antenna while he lets down his guard mid attack.

Vomiting blood after crashing into the tree he gets up slowly with a smile juxtaposing to his destroyed body and the blood leaking from his mouth.

Straining his eye to the maximum he pushes himself at the giant ant leader, who sensed it, but didn't know what to do as he lost most of his sensing ability as he felt a weird sensation in his throat as he suffocated.

Slashing his throat Lex didn't stop there and continued to the rest of the giant ant beasts. It was a massacre sliding and weaving between the senseless giant ant beasts Lex slashed the gap between their armour plates as green blood sprayed everywhere.

Seeing what happened the black wasp beasts flew away and so did the lower LVL centipedes who didn't have the loyalty that the giant ants did as they all ran in different directions apart from the centipede leader who was staring at Lex devilishly.

Falling to his knees, and happy with the effect of the massacre scaring off the beasts, as he was about to let go and relax the centipede leader, the only beast left in the vicinity began to slowly approach him.

[Damn it, this beast is smarter than the others and can see that I am worn out].

Seeing this Ella could no longer sit tight and instantly disappeared from her seat and appeared above the centipede and with a single fist completely decimated the centipede leader and headed towards Lex.

"Are you okay" she asks in worry.

But all he could do was turn in shame as he places all the bodies in the inventory and shamefully reply "I am so weak, that I in the end still need to rely on you, stop holding yourself back and ascend I will get stronger and protect you in the future" he utters with blood seeping through his mouth as he loses consciousness.

Leaving her feel a warmth in her heart she had never felt, someone caring about her. She carries him back to the infirmary as all the other levellers there, laugh and ridicule Lex believing he is just a weak idiot. Within the infirmary lay Lex on a plain white bed as a beautiful young girl sat on a chair beside him waiting for him to awaken.

"Ella I am sorry" a weak voice resounds within her ears. She gives him a warm smile which instantly changes to a serious expression, "Listen Lex, what I must tell you is trust no one, never expose yourself and that there are always those more powerful than you no matter what you do so be careful, taking into consideration what you said I will be leaving to train and battle beasts then ascend as soon as possible, not holding myself down any more, so you better catch up" she states to Lex as she disappears.

[I will strengthen myself and not only catch up, but surpass you in order to protect you], he vows as he returns to sleep in order to recover.
