Eye System

Chapter 160: Mourning

Lex standing before the 18 Sky Mortal rock worms was furious.

They had not only dared to sneak attack him, but they had killed many fox beasts that from what the system told him were rare and valuable beasts.

However, his rage was only shown in his eyes while the rest of his face was calm and seemingly unaffected.

Dominant Eye

Lex's eyes had a red glint that fused with all his power and aura to form an oppressive and powerful aura and power around him that allowed him to dominate everything around him.

Instantly his overbearing and oppressive aura engulfed the rock worms as they felt their bodies were frozen in place.

[It seems that now that my Third Eye has reached the Sky Mortal Rank, it will have an effect on Sky Mortal Rank beings] observed Lex.

His genuine anger and dense Internal and External Energy fuelling his Third Eye caused his Dominant Eye's power to increase massively.

With the halberd in hand, Lex seemed to become a giant before the rock worms, despite the inverse disparity in size.

His aura continued to grow as Lex continued testing the limits of his Dominant Eye and power that had now increased massively.

"Bow down" ordered Lex domineeringly as his voice echoed throughout the entire region, imbuing fear in all the living beings in the area.

The Sky Mortal rock worms had no chance of fighting back or breaking free of Lex's all-encompassing aura as they all collapsed onto the ground.

The more they struggled against Lex's aura, the higher the pain was for them as their will and spirit submitted to Lex's power.

But Lex had no need for such large, clunky beasts with limited potential and had no intention of taking them in like the fox beasts.

Controlling his dominating aura, that he released through the Dominant Eye, Lex had made it so that it didn't have a large effect on the fox beasts that stood behind him.

But despite that, the fox beasts could all feel Lex's superiority and power and were once again reminded of the dominance that he had over them.

"My fox beasts avenge your fallen brethren and devour these rock worm beasts to ease the souls of those that died" bellowed Lex as he restrained the rock worms and allowed the fox beasts to exact their revenge.

Lex's anger had simmered down, but he could see that the fox beasts were all still furious and he needed to show his compassion towards their kind in order to truly win over their loyalty.

Looking at the rock worms that were all forced to the ground and were struggling to move, under Lex's aura, the fox beasts all charged at them and began to hack away and their hard bodies.

The rock worms had an almost impenetrable exoskeleton that was dark brown in colour and similar to rock in terms of strength and properties.

After a few minutes the fox beasts, exploiting all their characteristics uniquely, were able to break through the exoskeleton and a mushy inside began to reveal itself.

Despite the rock worms being a complete counter to the fox beasts because of the disparity in size and the strong defence that the fox beasts would struggle to get past, Lex made it easy for them to do now be able to kill them.

However, it wasn't easy for Lex who was sweating profusely as he struggled to control the power of his aura.

It was similar to the Telekinetic Control Eye that he previously had in the way that he seemed to have control over an invisible force that was an extension of his body, mind and energy.

But instead of lifting, moving or controlling objects, the Dominant Eye, using his Third Eye, would bear down and dominate living creatures to control their will and assert his dominance.

[This really is more draining than I thought] thought Lex to himself.

Lex had to use precise control to bear down on the rock worm beasts without doing the same to his fox beasts that were all around them and Lex was exhausting mental strength and energy quite rapidly.

However, with his increased Internal and External Energy Reserves and his strong will, it wouldn't be hard for Lex to hold it for a while longer.

Although the use of the Third Eye was very straining, even if it is indirectly, it also did give Lex a boost in his strength and Lex couldn't wait to use the Third Eye in battle.

As the rock worms were all killed the fox beasts all began howling as they mourned the dead.

Then after what seemed to be a ritual of sorts, they buried the dead in small graves that they dug out.

Many of them lost a fox beast that was close to them and even if they weren't personally close, all the fox beasts were upset.

With such small amounts of fox beasts, all of them had become closely nit and like one large family, especially within the same units.

After that, they devoured the bodies of the rock worms and some of them fell asleep and cultivated while others trained between themselves.

They allowed the sadness and anger to fuel their drive for strength and hate towards rock worm beasts.

[I will give them a few days before we continue out on our hunt] decided Lex.

Although he knew that time was of the essence, he knew that there was no point in pushing them forwards if they needed a while to recover from the loss.

Lex formed three clones one after each other, pausing between them to regain his energy, and relayed to each of them an Eye Power.

Lex could feel himself nearing the peak point of the Heaven Mortal Rank and he was looking forwards to breaking through and increasing his strength massively.

Immersing himself in cultivation along with all 3 of his clones, Lex hungrily absorbed the energy in the atmosphere around him.
