Eye System

Chapter 93: The Self-Cloning Eye

[System I grant you permission to give me the Dual Eye Skill and the Lock-On Skill] Lex stated within his mind as he sat down cross-legged.

The system mostly can't intervene or do anything to Lex without his permission even if it was for the host's benefit, apart from times when the system had to block come fo the host's memories in order for the previously weak-minded host not to crash.

With Lex's permission, the system began to stream the techniques into Lex's mind.

{Ding, the host has gained the Dual Eye Skill and the Lock-On Skill} the system announced.

As Lex felt the skill stream into his mind, it wasn't a bombardment of information like when absorbing the knowledge from a book, but was more of an enlightenment to Lex of more functions his eyes were capable of.

The Dual Eye was so simple, yet seemingly impossible to Lex without gaining the skill. All it did was split the host's concentration and would activate two different Eye Powers with one in each eye at the same time.

The Lock-On skill was not as simple, but was still instantly understood by Lex through the system, and all he had to do was place his Eye Energy as an Eye Mark on the target and as long as he was within the range, of the target entered his vision, his eyes would lock onto the Eye Mark he placed.

It would get stronger with the host as when his energy becomes stronger, it would be able to last on the target for longer before dissipating and the Eye Mark with the higher LVL energy would be stronger so the range would increase.

Understanding the simple yet fundamental and incredible skills, Lex instantly felt his functionality as a hunter had increased as well as his combat power, being able to use two Eye Powers at once.

Withdrawing the silver book from the inventory, Lex learnt the familiar Item Creation Skill, yet would have found it extremely hard to do without learning the skill, despite not being a profound skill that merely used the user's energy to produce weapons.

[System open the Mortal LVL 50 packet] Lex stated, saving the B-Rank Eye Power Draw until last.

{Ding, Opening the Mortal LVL 50 packet}

{Ding, the host has gained 10 Mortal Food Pellets, 10 Mortal Recovery Pills, 10 Mortal Energy Pills and a Complete Mortal Packet} the system announced.

Lex was content with the packet's content, but it wasn't incredible for Lex's current state who also didn't want to be reliant on any one thing, especially pills that can have negative effects on his energy.

"I am putting all my hopes on this final B-Rank Eye Power Draw to give me something amazing," he said hoping the B-Rank Eye Power Draw would be much more beneficial to him than the Mortal LVL 50 Packet.

Withdrawing the small golden ticket from the inventory, that dissolved in his hand instantly in the same way it did every time.

{Ding, the system is drawing three random B-Rank Eye Powers for the host to chose from}

{Ding, The Laser Eye, the Hallucinator Eye and the Self-Cloning Eye have been drawn and the host has the choice of one from them} the system announced.

[Explain each one's uses before I decide] Lex stated with an unsure expression.

{Ding, the Laser Eye allows the host to shoot compressed heat from your iris that forms two lasers from each eye.

The Hallucinator Eye gives the host the ability to make the opponent, who has to look directly into your eyes and has to have a weaker will than you, to hallucinate their deepest fear.

The Delf-Cloning Eye is very similar to your Soul Pet, Ashura's, unique ability that allows him to split his body, but is fundamentally different. The Cloning Skill that Ashura uses splits his body to form a clone, but this skill will form an extension of the host formed of energy and depending on the amount of energy that the host uses while forming the clone, their strength varies

It uses the eyes as a centre of the cloning and the host with his eyes can control where the clone appears and what one Eye Power it has access to.

The skill, in the same way, would make it so that the host will suffer all the pain that the clone suffers after it is destroyed, but the host can also gain any knowledge gained by the clones} the system explained.

Hearing all the different Eye Powers, Lex thought they were all extremely useful and wanted them all, but knew he could only pick one.

"If only I was like the Eye Demon who can use every Eye Power" mumbled Lex who had a tough decision between the Eye Powers.

However, one stood out to him.

[I chose the Self-Cloning Eye Power] stated Lex.

After watching Ashura battle with his clone Lex couldn't help but wish for and imagine battling with many of his clones and with his much denser energy and larger energy storages compared to those at the same LVL as him knew could use the Eye Power.

Lex began to feel his eyes tingle like he usually felt whenever he integrated with an Eye Power.

{Ding, the Self-Cloning Eye has been integrated with the host} the system announced.

[System why is it only a B-Rank Eye Power when it is such an amazing ability] asked Lex.

{Ding, Eye Powers that are ranked based on the potential of growth and diversity of the ability. The Self-Cloning Eye is limited by its ability that only has one use, the produce clones of the host in the same way the Hallucinator Eye and the Laser Eye only have one application, not necessarily making them weaker} the system explained.

Before Lex attempted to use the skill, he had an idea that the system never stated about the skill that he came up with because of his open mind that was never restricted by what he was told.

Similar to when Lex was given the Weapon Creation Skill and used it to form the hoverboard instead of allowing the name of the skill to restrict its applications.

[System, can I also clone other items with the Self-Cloning Eye] asked Lex curiously.

{Ding, As the name suggests it is only the Self-Cloning Eye which is why it is only a B-Rank Eye Power and for the host's current state it is almost impossible to clone other items and the host should use and learn about the Self-Cloning Eye and may be able to do so by using the same concept in the future in the future, although it is impossible to clone other living beings} the system replied.

Hearing this, it confirmed his theory, that everything about himself was merely limited by his mind and with the seemingly limitless Eye System and potential that he had, he should strive for greatness without holding himself back.

"Time to try out my new Eye Power"

Jumping up from his sitting position Lex activated the new Eye Power that he felt he had access to within his eyes.

Self-Cloning Eye

Lex's eyes stayed exactly the same as they did before, but he felt as though he could form something with his energy and could control how much energy could go into it.

"This really is weird" he mumbled as he felt that with his eyes as a centre he could create a clone of himself with an amount of energy.

Feeling that his Cloning Eye was already programmed to clone himself, Lex didn't need to understand the concept or the ability and only needed to provide the energy for him to form a clone.

[I will learn more about cloning by experiencing the skill] Lex decided not wanting to miss out on the opportunity of being able to clone items.

{Ding, if the host is imagining being able to permanently clone items, it is completely different to the skill the host is using that is only temporary cloning that will dissipate after running out of energy and to be exact the B-Rank version is merely a Semi-Self-Copying Eye} the system explained.

[So I got scammed and you tricked me with the name] Lex replied jokingly, still content with his choice and its ability.

{Ding, the host cannot be scammed by the system as...} replied the system seriously, seemingly not having a personality and consciousness, before Lex interrupted.

[Don't worry about it] interrupted Lex.

Aiming to use the ability in front of him, Lex felt a large amount of energy that was being sucked out of his storages and felt as though it would continue to absorb energy and would only reach a halt after using half of his energy.

Stopping the energy siphoning after it took a quarter of his energy, Lex then felt as though he could relay one of his Eye Powers to the forming clone.

Relay Perceptive Eye

As he did so, he felt that his Perceptive Eye Power was dormant and was no longer usable, but could feel that it was being used by his clone.

Instantly a figure that was identical to Lex in every way appeared before him, but had a green target with a red centre as its eyes instead of his initially black eyes.

"Amazing" exclaimed Lex in awe.
