Eye System

Chapter 7: Giant Ant Horde

{Ding, Mission Issued - Kill all giant ants surrounding you: Reward - 100 points, Dual Eye}.

Hearing this resound in his mind, he was curious, however, the situation he was in wasn't one he could just relax.

Weapon Creation Skill.

He formed 4 daggers, which were the highest number of objects he could control at once.

Telekinetic Control Eye.

The iris of his eye began to form a weird formation.

With 2 daggers, one in each hand and 4 floating around him, his mind was being strained massively focusing on 6 blades at once.

Not using his Scouting Eye, he was not able to see what was behind him and his current surroundings.

Turning around, he counted and found that he was surrounded by 34 giant ants and their aura and sizes varied, with the strongest at LVL 8.

[I have been given an impossible mission; however, I cannot die here and will not give up on my goal], he exclaims to himself with the ignorance and recklessness of youth.

Readying his willpower, he boosted his mental use and began to analyse the situation and devise a plan while the giant ants were slowly creeping towards him in rage.

But before he could decide on a plan, he heard a roar from the LVL 8 giant ant, who seemed to be the leader, causing the rest of the ants to charge at Lex.

Controlling his 4 blades, he made them fly around himself protectively.

ZOOM.

He sent the blades blitzing towards the ants aiming for their antenna, which was their main way of sensing and was their weakness from what Lex had read and memorised.

Cutting off the antenna of the ants that were charging towards him, they instantly lost most of their senses and began to crash into each other as they lose the sense of direction.

Seeing this, he charged forth and stabbed his blade into the beast closest to himself, between its armour plates, and slashed down with all his might, gouging out its mushy internal organs.

Kicking away the half-dead giant ant closest to him, he jumped onto another ant and sat on its back like he was riding a horse and slit its throat between the head plate and chest plate causing green blood to flow out as it screamed in pain.

Hearing the scream, the few giant ants nearby were frozen and scared whereas the ones watching from afar were shocked but didn't intervene awaiting orders from their leader.

Taking advantage of the giant ants being blinded and non-moving, knowing that it was either kill or be killed, he dashes off towards the 4 ants that were left blind.

Sliding under the one closest to him, he sliced its lower body as he slid past causing green blood to splatter all over Lex.

Unfazed by the blood, he jumped up and used his eye to lift his body up, then used his eye to force his body down with more force, with the two daggers in hand, and crushed the giant ant's skull from above.

He felt an exhilarating rush of adrenaline and was beginning to enjoy this almost impossible battle.

Now the last blinded giant ant stood alone, not knowing what had just happened, felt a sudden tingling sensation on its neck and then began to shake as blood flowed out of his neck, and he could no longer breath.

Taking out 6 of the 34 giant ants he felt proud, however, he felt slightly drained and could feel that his body's energy was starting to lower and his brain began to hurt due to incredible amounts of concentration and mental power he was using.

Retracting his Weapon Creation Skill and his Telekinetic Control Eye, the burden on himself lessened and felt that with his current ability and energy levels the Telekinetic Control Eye should only be used for his hoverboard or for a one on one battle otherwise it would be too draining.

The 28 giant ants were angry, yet scared at the same time.

Watching, the LVL 8 Giant Ant was furious and screamed out an order to the rest of the giant ants, who joined around the leader, planning for a group attack.

Seeing this Lex jumped back and begins to retrieve throwing daggers from his pouch that he had prepared.

Scouting Eye.

Now with a clear vision of everything within 100 metres around him, he placed the throwing knives aligning with his fingers and jumped backwards, creating a distance between himself and the giant ant squadron.

Stampeding towards him all close together, so they couldn't be picked off, Lex was beginning to feel the pressure, but he didn't have the option to give up.

With his Scouting Eye's perceptiveness and accuracy paired with his knife-throwing skills, he was unparalleled in mid-range combat.

As they charged towards him, he turned his right hand with palm facing upwards with the knives between his fingers, and with a flick of his wrist sent the knives flying outwards slicing through their antenna as it slashed past the mid-range charging giant ants.

The three knives sliced through 8 antennae as Lex calculated the trajectory with his Scouting Eye.

Forming three more in his right hand as he flicked his left wrist sending them towards the giant ant's antenna once again.

[After this, I must find an ability or skill that has a wide damage range and is powerful and direct to be able to break through defences and fight groups].

Forming more and more throwing knives and sending them aiming at the antenna, while jumping backwards in retreat, however, he was much slower than them and after 10 to 20 seconds, the LVL 8 giant ant who dodged all the throwing knives rammed its head into Lex's stomach sending him flying back as he spat out a curdle of blood due to the impact.

BOOM.

Lex crashed into a tree behind him.

Most of the giant ants were blinded, however, the strongest of them, and the leader, wasn't injured in the slightest.

Continuing its charge towards Lex, Lex was beginning to worry as if he was hit again, he knew would probably die as his internal organs could be crushed.

Telekinetic Control Eye.

Straining his eyes, he lifted himself flying up standing on a tree trying to gain himself some time to recover and battle from behind, however, what he didn't expect was for the giant ant to dig its little legs into the tree to start climbing up.

Jumping off that tree to another tree carrying his body with his Telekinetic Control Eye attempting to get away from the giant ant leader, Lex was under both extreme physical and mental strain.

[I am injured and have lost 40% of my battle power and don't have much energy left and will only last, maximum, another 10 minutes].

While playing cat and mouse with the giant ant leader, he was also throwing knives at the rest of the giant ant's antenna.

His mind was aching with the massive amount of strain on it needing to control his eye while escaping from the leader and throwing knives at the rest of the giant ant beasts.

With all his subordinates blinded, the giant ant leader became much more furious and was charging much more crazily at Lex.

[I must defeat the leader, then massacre the rest who are senseless, but he is too powerful to battle head-on and is faster than me and is ready so I cannot cut his antenna].

Figuring out what to do while jumping from tree to tree by slightly lifting his body and jumping, he finally thought of a plan that might work but was a bit risky.

Forming two throwing knives within his right hand, he threw them straight at the leader's antenna, however, it was easily dodged by it just as Lex expected.

Although this time his plan was not to directly hit them, because as they passed, they seemed to turn around and instantly change trajectory and before the giant ant leader could react his antennas were cut from behind.

Blinded now, and knowing that he couldn't last for much longer with his eyes, mind and body aching, Lex still dashed at the giant ant leader with the daggers retrieved from his belt.

He slashed at his legs as he slid past as the giant ant collapses onto its body with its legs cut off.

Jumping up behind the giant ant who was screaming in pain and struggling on the ground, he began to hack at its weak points with all his power.

After nearly ten strikes, it begins to crack as his dagger cut into the mushy inner layer of blood and organs which he begins to rip apart.

Leaving the leader bleeding out and writhing in pain, he ran off to the rest of the blinded giant ants, and despite his fatigue and dizziness he was not willing to give up on a mission and wouldn't go this far only to leave the beast cores and the bodies of so many injured beasts for somebody else to steal.

Slicing their necks once, saving his energy, Lex knew that they would die from blood loss and suffocation.

Lex was still being wary and cautious of their random attacks and outbursts, despite them being blinded, because in the state he was in any attack would be fatal.

Weaving between the beasts and slicing their throats with his blades he eventually killed them all and was so fatigued that his body nearly collapsed and shut down as soon as he relaxed.

However, before he lost consciousness, which he knew was inevitable as his body was only able to stay standing purely due to his determination, he strained his drained mind and places all the bodies into the inventory.

As soon as he did so, he fell to his knees as his fatigued body could no longer move as his even more fatigued mind shut down and he lost consciousness.
