Eye System

Chapter 71: Howl

The sun had set and was replaced by the dark night and the half-crescent moon shining in the night sky.

Running through the slum's rustically layout streets, was Lex who had his Scouting Eye activated and was looking for any kind of beast for him to hunt.

Normally beast's wouldn't dare to enter the countries or any other large civilisation, but the smart Canidae beasts realised that the slums were not cared about and most people within them weren't levellers and those that were, were extremely weak.

Canidae beasts were a type of beasts that were extremely intelligent and would work in groups and would have a pack leader. From the way they were acting they were planning to take over the Eastern Aria Slums and they could eat all the humans there to strengthen themselves and reproduce more and eventually take over more and more of the country.

If they aren't exterminated now, Lex knew that they would reach the orphanage and all the children and the mysterious old lady who was now too weak would be eaten and Ashura was not strong enough to protect them.

Lex withdrew two dagger blades from his inventory which he had previously stolen and was prepared to battle at any moment.

Streaming almost half of his energy into his eyes to boost the vision and range of Scouting Eye, he could see all around him as he jumped on roofs of the small homes and ran through the streets.

AAWOOO

The loud howl instantly alerted Lex, who immediately headed towards where he heard the sound as fast as he could, hoping he could make it in time before there are any casualties.

"These beasts are getting more and more wild and are not attacking in secret anymore" mumbled Lex in worry as he streamed more energy into his feet and legs to speed up.

The howl was not far away from Lex and resounded and echoed throughout the area, scaring all those nearby.

The screaming people who ran out of their homes in fear, knowing the rumours of the beasts, were like headless chickens and were getting in Lex's way.

"Kano lift me up onto the roofs again," says Lex as he retracts his Scouting Eye and the robes sucked some energy out of his body and flung him up into the air as he landed on a roof.

[Buy 10 Mortal Energy Recovery Pills] communicates Lex to the system, feeling his energy almost depleting.

{Ding, 100 points spent on 10 Mortal Energy Recovery Pills} announces the system.

Withdrawing a small brown pellet from the inventory, Lex threw it into his mouth and it instantly dissolved in his mouth.

There was an instant surge of energy within his body, which Lex was able to suppress and stream around his body with his good energy control.

Blasting off the roof he was on Lex heads to where the screams were most concentrated and where he previously heard the howl.

[The despicable royals and nobles in the inner and core areas of the country are probably using these poor people as pawns and could easily sort out the situation but they decided not to and probably saw it as an easy way for population control] thought Lex feeling the same hate he always felt.

However this time it was controlled and he could suppress it enough as not to be blinded by it or awaken the Originator Eye Demon who lay dormant within his soul.

With the blades in hand, Lex was dashing over the rooftops covering miles in minutes.

Scouting Eye.

Lex boosts his vision into the distance to see dozens of wolf, dog, fox and other similar kinds of beasts, all massacring the people in the slums.

It was a horrendous scene with human blood, limbs and organs all over the ground.

Withdrawing two Mortal Energy Recovery Pills and swallowing them down, Lex felt an enormous amount of energy which was hurting and straining his body, but he ignored the pain and burst off his feet off the rooftop and into the air.

"Kano make sure I land above the closest wolf beast" screams Lex as he held both his daggers outwards.

Falling down in the air with enormous momentum, Lex streamed energy into his arms to reinforce them as he fell on top of an unprepared fox beast that was within his range, and he dug both his blades into its back as he landed on top of it.

The fox softened the landing, but it was still a hard hit. Luckily Kano had absorbed some of Lex's energy in time to somehow harden itself to reduce the impact on Lex.

"Thanks, Kano," says Lex as he got up and wiped the blood leaking from his mouth due to the impact rattling his organs.

GGGRRR

The beasts growl at Lex furiously as they begin to group together and face off with Lex angrily seeing their fallen companion.

Lex could see their bloodshot eyes targeted at him and felt the adrenaline pumping through his veins and reminded him of his first battle with the giant ant horde.

[It seems fate is unavoidable and it works in mysterious ways] thought Lex.

[But I will overcome fate in this reality and will not only save Angela but will be able to help and be with Ella] he declares firmly within his mind.

With more energy than his body can handle due to overusing Mortal Energy Recovery Pills and adrenaline coursing through his veins, Lex's battle frenzy nature was being awakened.
