Eye System

Chapter 108: Decision

"Noooooo" he roared in fury.

He could hear the repeated ridiculing from the Eye Demon as he turned to see the poor orphan Lola's head spiked into a bed stand.

However, instead of giving in to his emotion, he broke free from the shackles that the rage was placing on his actions and sat down as he began to cultivate the Mental Void Method.

He wasn't trying to gain strength, but was merely attempting to clear his mind as he felt himself enter the astral form and withstood 15 seconds within the void before his astral form shattered and he returned into his body.

He was unsure for how long he cultivated, but there was one thing he did know, he was going to get strong enough to kill Mason and everybody that was even remotely involved and make sure he was strong enough in the future so nothing ever happens to those he cares about.

Walking over to the head of his dead master he collapsed to his knees and bowed 3 times respectfully and made a vow to his deceased master and the dead children.

"I will make sure to kill everybody involved in your murder without sparing a single soul and will become so strong and powerful that everybody on not only this continent, but the entire Lower Plains will revere and respect me" he declared.

Forming a clone and relaying it the Scouting Eye, Lex ordered it to self destruct after he orders it to, in order to bury them with the rubble and get rid of the gruesome state that their bodies' were left in.

As soon as he was leaving the orphanage he could hear and feel a stampede from the direction of the inner areas of the country.

Looking in that direction he saw a small army that was made up of all-powerful revellers that rode different mounts and all wore armours with the sigil of the Aria country.

As soon as they spotted him they all seemed to recognise him and increased their speed as they charged towards him.

"E-Rank Voltac Ashura, you are under the arrest of the Royal Family of Aria for the massacre of thousands of lives in the Eastern Outskirts of Aria country" announced the man that was on the frontlines in the centre and seemed to be their leader.

It was obvious to Lex that it was a set up by Elder Mason and the thousands of deaths would have been committed by him and correlated with the realisation he had that there was nobody around in the slums and the small amount of bloodstains that he saw.

Despite his calm state because of the Void Mentality, he couldn't help but curse at Elder Mason within his mind hatefully as the perpetrator for everything that had just happened.

Taking deep breaths and calming himself he knew it would be impossible for him to defeat them all and would struggle to get away even with his cultivation LVL and speed.

But the one thing that he had made sure to do, to keep his identity as a Voltac and his actual identity separate, was what could save his life in such a situation.

Spacial Eye

Both his eyes were engulfed by the black iris as his eyes became completely black and empty in the same way the void was.

Body Jolt

Lex felt that there was a cap on the distance he could jolt his body through space and at the moment he could only jolt his body 100 metres forwards, but Lex now having learned the skill, he felt much more comfortable using it and it didn't heavily drain his energy storages.

"Chase him" roared the leader as he kicked his white horse beast mount to speed up after Lex.

He seemed to be a good leader and powerful leveller and with his experience and intelligence that was shown by the way he reacted to Lex seemingly teleporting away from them, it would make it much harder for Lex to get away.

Lex after the single Body Jolt felt that he couldn't jolt his body forth again, so continued to run forth then after a few seconds was able to Jolt his body again and wanted to try something new.

[The cooldown is over now, guess I should try something new] thought Lex to himself, staying completely calm.

He could see in the distance that those stationed at the gates out of the country were also alerted and prepared to stop him while those on top of the wall seemed to be looking out for him.

This event was perfectly planed to frame him and kill him after killing those that he was protecting, which made him feel even more fury.

But in his current Void Mentality state, he still felt empty and absent within his mind, unhindered by emotion as he thought of something that he had never tried before.

He had Jolted his body forwards in space where he was looking, but he had never tried to Jolt his body upwards and wanted to try whether if he looked and aimed upwards, he would be jolted into the air.

Body Jolt

Lex applied the same amount of energy he would when he would jolt his body but aimed and looked upwards and it worked exactly as he had guessed.

He felt the same sensation of his body flowing through space, which didn't exactly have directions and wasn't dictated by what to Lex was up and down and forwards and backwards and therefore just like he had hoped, the Body Jolt skill could be applied in any direction.

What he didn't think about was that he would be 100 metres into the air and would gain the attention of everybody while he was trying to escape and would have a heavy fall.

Grabbing onto the robes with each hand and pulling them as he held out his arms he formed a wingsuit of some sort, using Kano, that was very adaptable.

"Kano absorb as much energy you need, but get me over that wall" he shouted as the wind crashed against his face, through the weird cover that Kano formed over it.

Kano with the permission sucked in Lex's energy and with Lex gliding down towards the wall suddenly flew up without any wind and seemed to be able to fly.

Lex in white robes and with a wingsuit glid over the walls and was too quick and high to be hit with any arrows or projectiles as he flew away.

"He can fly" those that saw him glide exclaimed.

"Squadron 1, 2 and 3 attempt to follow Ashura and if not search around the borders of the eastern Aria country and squadron 4 monitor the area just in case" ordered their leader who knew there wasn't much hope of catching up with him now.

"Sir, Ashura has gotten away and has the ability of what seems to be teleportation and can fly so has currently gotten away and out of the country" communicated the leader into a circular communication device.

"Increase Ashura's bounty to 100,000 and make a royal decree that he must be captured dead or alive as soon as possible" replied a voice desperately back through the communication device, who seemed to want to get rid of him no matter the cost.

Meanwhile, Lex was gliding through the air with his wingsuit and keeping a stable altitude with the uplifting of Kano so was technically flying.

Lex now had some time to collect his thoughts and concluded that Elder Mason had set him up perfectly to be captured and executed by the royals that seemed to be working with or under him.

Such unnecessary slaughter for the mere death of a bird was insane and Lex added him to his heart as somebody he would kill with his own strength and make sure he feels the pain that he deserves.

It was another way for the royals to manage the population of those that were weak and in the slums of the Outer Aria and was indirect herd control that they could blame on Lex.

He knew that his Voltac ID that was within the inventory couldn't be used to track him so was confident that they wouldn't be able to track him with it.

After almost 15 minutes of rapid flying in the direction of the mist grounds, Lex could feel that his flight was beginning to stall and Kano was beginning to falter with Lex's energy reserves running low.

"Kano, land me here, I can cover the rest of the ground on foot" stated Lex as he saw the mist grounds nearby and landed into the small forest around it.

Dashing from tree to tree, Lex still had an incredibly strong body that was full of vitality and energy and didn't need to rely on his internal energy and could still cover the distance rapidly.

Lex had made a final decision that he knew was the right choice in the current situation.

[I am only bringing those around me trouble and dragging them into the curse that the Eye System that makes danger follow me, so I will leave alone and only return when I am confident in my strength to be able to be comfortable in the Aria Country and be able to get my revenge, protect Angela and look for Ella] he decided, making a logical decision without emotions attached.

He was debating with himself on whether to tell Angela face to face that he was leaving, but after deliberating and reaching the mist grounds, he decided he would leave a message to the Jade Empress and a farewell as not to worry her or hinder her progress as he stepped into the mist.
