Eye System

Chapter 81: Regaining Control

Within Lex's body was his soul that had connected with the Eye System, The Originator Eye Demon and Ashura as a soul pet.

The Eye System was untraceable and unnoticeable so had no effect on Lex, and Ashura was merely a soul pet and was under his control to an extent so wasn't a threat to Lex.

However the Originator Eye Demon after fusing with his soul seemed to almost share the soul with Lex and although Lex had the original ownership, they both had almost equal access.

[It's my body you bastard, I don't need you anymore so give me the control back] shouted Lex within his mind.

[No it was mine before yours and you don't deserve it] refuted the Eye Demon within his mind.

Both screamed and shouted with each other within the mind of Lex's body as they fought for control of the body.

It was like a tug of war and Lex with his ownership of the soul and quite a strong will, was equally matched with the Eye Demon who had incredible power and knowledge.

[Stop struggling and just die] roared the Eye Demon, becoming frustrated that he was struggling against somebody he saw a weak kid.

Lex's body lay on the ground and continuously flipped and jumped around as two separate conscious entities both struggled for control.

As Lex and the Eye Demon cursed at each other and fought for control of the body, Ashura was massacring the beasts gruesomely without remorse.

The pregnant beasts were killed and the babies that were soon born were also sliced apart by the small black raven's wings.

To the beasts, Lex and Ashura were horrible demons that wouldn't even show mercy to their relatives and children, and as loyal beasts, most weren't willing to run and escape and attempted to fight back.

However, to Lex, they were evil and horrifically ate poor young innocent girls alive and kidnapped Angela.

Lex was beginning to notice that the line for right and wrong was blurred with the drive for strength and cultivation and that everything was based on perspective, but currently, he was too preoccupied with fighting for control.

The two black ravens swerved around the beasts and with their razor-sharp wings would slash at the beasts and after they would die would absorb all the energies within their bodies.

Both Lex and the Eye Demon were feeling drained and fatigued as their fused souls were being strained by their battle for control.

[I will let you get control for now, but let's see how you deal with the energy that Ashura is bringing back] remarked the Originator Eye Demon, getting the last laugh.

The ground was completely covered in bloodstains and the already revolting sewers became even worse with the thick stench of blood and corpses adding to the smell of the waste.

Ashura left piles of furry skin and bones and absorbed everything out of all the Canidae beasts, not sparing a single one, along with the bodies of the poor young girls that were mostly ripped apart and eaten from.

Ashura fused back with the clone he had produced and flew back at Lex who had just regained control of his body, which was noticed by Ashura who saw the previously red demonic eyes become plainly black.

Lex felt his body fully submitting to him again and as he sat up he saw the black raven fly back at him and return into his soul as his Soul Pet.

Instantly Lex felt his body on the verge of bursting and his dantian, major meridians and few minor meridians that were open, all felt as though they were about to burst.

The large amount of blood essence, energy and vitality rushed through Lex's body almost to the point of rupturing his veins that inhumanely bulged throughout his body.

The shirtless body who sat on the ground next to an unconscious girl was screaming in pain as his skin visibly began to burn and his muscles began to tear.

"Help me system" he screamed in a desperate bid to save his life, as he felt his body was on the verge of exploding and knowing that Angela was beside him, he knew that his death would decimate her and everything around him as well.

{Ding, the host is recommended to use your Eye Energy Reserves that can help the host store the energy} the system announced extremely loudly within Lex's mind.

As he heard this, despite writhing around on the ground in pain, the small mostly empty pond that Lex previously noticed came to mind.

Lex's entire body was overwhelmed and being bombarded with an extreme amount of energy that his body couldn't handle, causing immense pain throughout his body, overloading his nerves and senses with pain.

[Give up control kid, I can still salvage this body and don't make it so that you will need to go into another reality] ridiculed the Eye Demon in the hopes of crushing his will and taking his body.

"Never again" he roared, remembering all the pain he went through when he left the past reality.

Lex streamed as much energy as he could control, aiming at his eyes and using his thoughts as a catalyst, tried to get it into the pond.

To his surprise, similar to the inventory feature, it was his thoughts that allowed him to access it and the energy he was able to handle rushed into the small pond of a weird, thick and clear substance.

The small pond could be comparable to a puddle with the small amount of substance it had within it and as it began to fill up rapidly with the constant stream of energies by Lex, instead of flooding, the small pond began to enlarge slowly.

The vitality, blood essence and energy that was absorbed from the beasts were in different colours, being gold, red and grey, yet when they entered the small pool, they became the same clear substance.

However after the pool reached a length of what seemed to be comparable to a metre, it stopped enlarging and rejected the rest of the energy that Lex was sending.

Luckily to have already filled up the small pond, Lex had already got rid of most of the energy and what was left would be manageable and much less painful.

The Eye Demon having giving up control knew it wasn't plausible to try to regain it and with the evil energy supplied by the ring running out, lowering his chances, sat back within Lex's soul waiting for his next chance to gain control.

Meanwhile, Lex had sat up and closed his eyes and began calmly circulated his energy to soothe his pain and attempting to tame and absorb the energy into his body.
