Eye System

Chapter 14: Outer Desert

{Ding, Mission Completed: Reward - B Rank Eye Power which host can draw from the inventory as a ticket which will draw a random B Rank Eye Power}

Walking deeper into the desert Lex was trying to find somewhere to rest, eat and open the reward he got from his mission, but for as far as he could see all there was, was sand.

Continuing forth as he was not able to go back and will probably be put on the wanted board on the earth base and will be hunted by all bounty hunters and strong people trying to get the reward.

After walking for nearly an hour, a bolt of lightning flashed past his eyes.

"What the hell," he exclaims in shock.

But he plays it off as the heat playing games on his eyes. Continuing forth, he felt a movement behind him and was as fast as a lightning bolt and flashes around him once more.

Once is a mistake, twice is a coincidence, and three times is a provocation.

Scouting Eye.

Circulating my Scouting Eye to the maximum just to attempt to see what was going on. But he could only see the blurred outline of a small beast.

"This speed is too fast and I won't be able to win in an upfront battle and won't be able to run away" he mumbles.

Slash. While mumbling, he was slashed on the back leaving three claw marks as the beast dashes from place to place and claws at Lex.

Seeing the speed and this beasts' sharp claws and speed Lex thought he had no chance, but from the way the beast battled, it was either inexperienced or young and didn't know battle tactics.

Using Dual Eye, he produces 6 blades and makes them fly around himself like a shield at unimaginable speeds, watching out for the beast with his left eye.

Zooming towards Lex again with its claws out it heads for the throat this time which wasn't defended by the blades. But as it got close, it couldn't change directions in midair and all 6 blades which were much faster in the air stab into the little beast.

With 6 blades, the beast lost a lot of power and speed and would only get weaker with the loss of blood. No longer moving, Lex could actually clearly see its figure. It was a small cat-like beast with lightning surrounding its body and it seemed to be a newborn.

It was a newborn beast, and it was playing with Lex in the beginning then its beast nature took over as it felt the urge to eat him and slashed at him. However, in the end, it's lack of intelligence made it lose.

On the verge of death, it turns around to leave whimpering which anyone else would feel sorry for and let them go but Lex knew better than to be merciful and after being clawed multiple times he was also weakened and didn't want to take risks.

Lex formed a hoverboard and zoomed after the slowed little beast similar that was now similar in speed.

Both were straining themselves and after chasing for nearly 10 minutes, a cave could be seen in the distance.

Seeing this the beast saw it as a place to escape to but in that instant of changing direction, Lex throws a knife into its back as it collapses Lex jumps onto it and instantly slits his throat.

However, what was weird this time is after killing the beast it completely disappeared with its beast's core and something seemed to appear within an empty space within his mind.

He knew this was similar to what he heard when you get a beast power from what he has read off of Skynet, however, to make sure he had to ask.

[System what happened to the beast and what is in my mind].

{Ding, the host has gained a beast power and when this occurs the beast's core disappears with the beast and within the mind of the killer there is a beast power index which you should have felt now has an entity within it}.

Searching through his mind, he found an area empty apart from a little egg in the corner with blue bolts of lightning on it.

"Damn it, I could have gotten a lightning power or a summon, but I got a pet beast power which is from what I have heard a very long process for them to grow into something useful" he utters annoyed.

{Ding, the host is incorrect a pet beast power has infinite potential depending on the host, compared to others and can grow with host unlike other beast powers which have a power LVL and stay like that and this beast pet will surpass what it was while it battled you, all it needs is beast meat}.

Hearing this his annoyance was reduced, two battles in a row were taking its toll on him and he weakly walks into the cave scanning it with his scouting eye making sure there are no beasts inside.

[This small cave made of hardened sand must be newly made by a human and there are no beasts].

Sitting down, leaning on the wall of the cave Lex finally had time to rest and takes out some cooked and dried giant ant meat he prepared and began to chew on it which will help with his recovery.

B Rank Eye Power Draw.

A golden ticket with the letter B appeared in his hand, then dissolves as he felt the system have a lottery wheel.

{Ding, the host has the choice between three Eye Powers, Laser Eye - the ability to shoot lasers from your eyes, Hypnotic Eye - the ability to command those weaker than you and those of your strength with weaker will power, or due to host recent beast power the Lightning Manipulation Eye which has no rank like the Scouting Eye but will increase with the host and the beast power's power}.

[Hmm, Laser Eye will cover my weakness of a raw power attack to break defence, but Lightning Manipulation Eye will grow with me and my beast power and won't be stuck at one rank so I will choose the Lightning Manipulation Eye].

{Ding, the host has gained Lightning Manipulation Eye}

Instantly he felt a stream of lightning rush through his body and rush into his eyes making them tingle.

"That feels great, " he exclaims as he felt the current rush throughout his body.

"Now all that is left is to try out my beast power" he mutters to himself.

Following what he had read on Skynet, using a beast power is similar to using the inventory, he needs to use his thoughts to bring out the power.

A white egg with blue lightning streaks appeared within his hand. As soon as he summoned it, it began to crack to reveal a little golden cat with blue lightning streaks on it.

Seeing Lex first and feeling the connection with him it instantly recognised him as a parent or master and began to rub his head onto his arm. Seeing this Lex smiles and strokes his head.

"Oh yeah, he needs beast meat and I have so much beast meat that it is impossible for me to eat it all," he says to himself as he withdraws a few LVL 5 giant ant beasts.

About to break the shell the little golden and blue cat looks at Lex with pleading eyes as if let him have it.

Seeing this Lex just chuckles, "eat as much as you want, " he says, but what shocked him was when the little cat jumps onto the giant ant and begins from the legs gobbling up the ants.

"Eat up... Actually, what should I call you, how about Kano, yeah Kano" he says.

Hearing this the little cat starts jumping up and down happily as if it understood. Resting and eating within the cave Lex and Kano were strengthening and enjoying each other's company.
