Chapter 80: Exploiting The Eye Demon
SWOOSH
Mid-air Evil Lex threw his two black daggers that blitzed through the air and in the blink of an eye penetrated through the head of two of the pregnant female Canidae beasts that were monstrously feeding.
All the beasts instantly became infuriated and howled rabidly as they glared at Lex.
Lex flipped in the air, then landed calmly and his blades, that had absorbed all the blood essence, energy and vitality from the beasts, flew back into his hands.
Lex felt half large amount of blood essence, vitality and energy rush into his body and circulate through his body making him stronger.
He had planned to exploit the Eye Demon's power to strengthen himself and get him out of the situation he was, and as soon as he felt that he no longer needed him, then he would fight back for control.
They both knew each other's intentions and both were striving for strength and power, but also the control of the body. However, only one was willing to do anything for his aims and wasn't restricted by anything, while the other was still weak comparingly.
"You will pay for your sins and will feed me and my blades" declared Evil Lex.
His burning red eyes with black slits, looked down on everyone and everything in front of him as his slim and lean body that had tight chiselled muscles glistened in the setting sun.
With a burst of fire under his feet, he launched himself charging at the beast closest to Angela's unconscious body.
"Move away" he roared as he saw a beast approach Angela's body with hunger and desire in its eyes.
Angela with the most nutritious body to the beasts, with her saint powers that were full of vitality, was the most appealing and was savoured, so was the last to be eaten.
Although most Canidae beasts are known for loyalty and teamwork, fox beasts are also Canidae beasts, and fox beasts are very cunning and greedy.
The fox beast was hoping to keep Angela's body for itself while there was a commotion and steal it for itself.
Evil Lex wouldn't be able to make it with his burst of speed.
His red eyes suddenly became pitch black and looking into them was like looking into a black hole.
Spacial Jolt
Lex felt his body travel through space itself and felt the sensational feeling of warping space to his control and his body was jolted forwards closer to Angela, but he also felt the extreme strain on his eyes and energy that was being soothed and recovered by the energy and vitality he had absorbed.
One thing Lex had noticed is that within his eyes was a space similar to the inventory that was like a small pond, and when Evil Lex used Ashura to absorb the energy, vitality and blood essence from the beasts, the small body of water enlarged slightly.
[This must be some sort of energy storage] thought Lex, but didn't have time to ponder on it too much as he was more focused on the scenes unfolding before him.
Lex had so much to explore and find out about, but was too enthralled by the feats his body was accomplishing under the control of the Eye Demon.
He could feel a burning sensation within his eyes that he felt had a similar application and type to that of the Lightning Manipulation Eye he previously had but could feel that instead of lightning, the element was fire.
Instead of using the flames first hand, Evil Lex burnt all his reserves within his eyes and made a barrier of flames around Angela from afar to protect her.
The scorching heat scared off the despicable fox beasts who turned to escape from the flaming devil that was chasing him.
Lex's body was extremely low on energy after the Spacial Jolt that was too powerful for Lex's body to handle and with the scarce energy he had he launched off his feet and landed on top of the fox beast, driving his two blades into its back.
Ashura absorbed the beast dry and left a small pile of its skin and bones.
Evil Lex felt rejuvenated but knew it was nowhere near enough to increase his power.
Licking his lips, he looked at the beasts as if they were merely his prey.
With a flash in his eye, he mysteriously dispersed the flame barrier around Angela and carried her unconscious body in tattered clothes over his shoulder.
"Ashura spill their blood and bring back their energies" ordered Evil Lex as he threw the blades in the air that transformed back into two black ravens.
Evil Lex despite being driven by desire and sin, was also constricted by the will and ideals of Lex to a certain extent and therefore couldn't suppress the need to protect Angela and keep her safe.
With Angela's body hung over his shoulder, he jumped over the pool of waste and was being helped by an invisible force to lift his body and land on the other side where he placed Angela, away from all the beasts.
Lex recognised the ability as the Telekinetic Eye and didn't understand how his body was using all these different kinds of Eye Powers while the Eye Demon was in control when he could only use the eye the System gave him.
His eyes were pulsating with excruciating pain after using so many different kinds of Eye Powers and skills that Lex's body couldn't handle as tears of blood streamed down his face.
Sitting down next to Angela's body cross-legged, he began to cultivate and absorb the energy around him in the atmosphere as he calmly cultivated, trying to suppress the pain and increase his strength.
Lex was attentively watching and feeling what was occurring to his body trying to remember it and understand, but it seemed impossible to understand and was too profound.
He could see and feel that the Eye Demon's aggression wasn't very high and compared to the last time he awakened was very tame.
[It must be because I am still calm and haven't been overwhelmed by emotion] assumed Lex.
As the two small black ravens massacred the Canidae beasts and absorbed their energies, Lex and the Eye Demon were battling for control of the body.
Lex seeing that Angela was safe and that Ashura, with his ever-increasing strength from absorbing their energy, would be able to defeat the beasts, began to fight back for control.
"No, I will not lose control of this body again" screamed Evil Lex in frustration.
