Leaving the cave, Lex was happy with the progress his strength has made so far.

[System what is my status].

Hearing this resound through his mind, he felt proud that only a week or so ago; he was a trash who was always stuck at LVL 1. However, the last advice that Ella left for him is that there is always someone stronger than you and above you, so he would never be complacent.

With Kano on his shoulder, he heads deeper into the outer desert to find the beasts at LVL 20 and above to push himself to his maximum potential to loosen the restraints and bottlenecks on levelling up which is the difference between naturally talented and not talented individuals.

From the way he attacked his previous pursuers, and from what he knows about how dangerous beast dimensions are, he knew better than to not always be prepared for a sneak attack. After riding his hoverboard, which he controls with his eye; he made sure to use Dual Eye, so he was aware of his surroundings.

Under the sand, he felt some large Rock Worms slithering under the sand in front of where he was heading. Looking at each other, Kano and Lex seemed to have a mutual understanding and were prepared.

However, at the same time, although his Lightning Manipulation can be used for powerful attacks, he still needs a fire or explosion type skill or Beast Power to be able to break through defences like that of the Rock Worms.

Charging up from the sand with their mouths wide open trying to defeat Lex in one move, the Rock Worms jump up. Retreating, Lex and Kano were both ready for battle. Before them in this desert was 4 giant Rock Worm beasts with one head, but multiple other circular body parts connected, making it a long Rock Worm with rock spikes covering its body.

With its brown and yellow body, sharp teeth and spikes and impenetrable defence, they are very hard beasts to defeat even if you are of a higher LVL. From their size, which was around 4 metres, Lex deduced from what he knew about Rock Worms from Skynet that they should be around LVL 25 and even an LVL 30 would be scared in this situation.

Kano although intimidated wasn't scared and was ready to act out its orders as he began circulating his lightning.

"Kano this will be a hard battle, but you will never improve without pushing yourself to your limits" he announces to Kano releasing a battle intent ready to battle, who replies with an aggressive hiss jumping off his shoulder and releasing his razor-sharp claws.

Lex was driving by his ignorant recklessness and loved the feeling of having an adrenaline rush.

Bearing in mind this all happened in seconds, Lex's left eye stays all white in the Scouting Eye Form as he knew that the Rock Worm's spikes will be hard to dodge and his right eye transformed becoming blue and gold as you could see the electricity flow around his Iris.

Fusing the Weapon Creation Skill and Lightning Manipulation by accident Lex makes a skill that uses them both, Lightning Creation Skill, making two blades of pure lightning one in each hand as the lightning coursed and circulated through his body.

Lightning Form.

As the lighting flows through him internally and slithers around his body externally his previous curly brown hair stands on end as lightning forms and a blue and golden energy layer around his body.

ZOOM. They dash off towards the Rock Worms and as Lex and Kano were about to clash with the Rock Worms charging at them, they were smart enough not to clash head-on and dash around them and despite their LVL a weakness of Rock Worms is speed and they are much slower than Lex and Kano.

Behind them, Lex slashes at their back with his lightning daggers, which on contact shatter due to the energy supply was not able to withstand such an impact and Kano's claws were cracked and he wouldn't be able to use them again.

"Shit, I don't think we can beat them" he screams in shock, being the first time, he has ever made a weapon and it broke and this one was more powerful.

But now in midair falling backwards after clashing with the Rock Worm what he forgot about was despite the slow and chunky appearance it had an extremely quick and powerful tail.

The Rock Worm, which Lex attacked flicked its tail covered in spikes at Lex hitting his abdomen slashing into him and sending him launching backwards tens of metres sliding along the sand.

Kano with his agility and small size was able to move his body to dodge most of the tail nearly whipping him but it still slashed him.

"Shit, Kano let's retreat, " he screams grabbing his abdomen leaking blood as his intestines and stomach were beginning to become jumbled as the spikes ripped them apart.

Despite the pain and feeling blood trying to escape through his mouth he swallows it down and switches from his Lightning Manipulation Eye, into his Telekinetic Control eye.

Producing a board made of his energy using the idea behind the Weapon Creation Skill he grabs onto the sides of the board as he lifts it sending it zooming in the opposite direction of the Rock Worms.

Kano less injured, although cut it wasn't as deep and his lightning cells began his ultra-fast healing and his cuts began to close and heal.

Dashing after its master, he sees that his master only has half of his energy reserves left and underground the Rock Worms would be able to catch up to him.

"Shit, battling with heart and determination isn't enough, I need power and won't be able to get it like this and I will never be able to catch up to Ella being a weak bitch like this" he roars in rage.

He felt his eyes burn as his whole body began to burst with power and rage.

ROAR.

He roars like a beast making even the Rock Worms scared and retreated underground, but as he saw them run his anger began to subside and after releasing all that energy with his injuries he collapses.
