Eye System

Chapter 72: Canidae Horde Part 1

"Die" roars Lex as he charges at the Canidae beasts with his daggers.

The crazy battle frenzy nature that Lex had, was awakened by the overload of energy and the gruesome scene before him.

Lex wasn't scared in the slightest of the dozens of beasts before him.

His blank eyes still had Scouting Eye activated and counted 37 beasts within the area, and mid-attack was able to calm down enough to think.

"Shit, the same recklessness overcame me" screamed Lex mid-attack as he slashed at the beast closest to him who dodged by jumping back.

As soon as Lex's energy began to circulate wildly with his adrenaline rush, he became blinded by the rage of seeing poor and weak humans be gruesomely killed and charged straight in.

Instantly Lex streams energy into his feet and jumps back away from the beasts that wanted to counterattack.

However, as he jumped back in retreat, a wolf beast pounces off its paws towards Lex with its claws out.

Lex didn't have the Telekinetic Control Eye anymore so couldn't change trajectory mid-air by himself, but realised Kano could.

"Kano" he screams as he was about to be slashed mid-air.

The white robes wrapped around him understood and sucked in some of Lex's energy and moved him to the left, and he closely dodged the attack.

"Thanks, Kano, I need your support in this battle, but only if I have no choice as you use a lot of energy for a low LVL like me," says Lex as he slid back.

The scenes of him battling the giant ants flowed through his mind and made him chuckle to himself and realised how much he had been through and changed over the time of 2 months.

With the two serrated daggers in a backwards grip and his Scouting Eye activated, Lex was prepared for battle.

The bloodshot eyes of the glaring beasts shined in the dark of the night as the beasts began to circle Lex and attempted to surround Lex.

Lex, although could see all around him, didn't want to be surrounded and rushed towards a wall that he could have his back to so he could fend them off from in front of him.

All the beasts coordinated perfectly and seemed to be communicating mysteriously and were extremely intelligent for a beast of such a low LVL.

Placing the daggers back in the inventory, realising that close combat would be too difficult with their numbers, Lex withdrew throwing knives he had stolen from Max Ford for mid-range combat.

{Ding, Mission Issued - Defeat all the beasts surrounding you - Reward: Item Creation Skill} announced the System.

The mission was an additional reward for what Lex had already planned to do and knew that he needed both those skills massively to boost his combat power.

With three small blades in each hand, aligned between his fingers, Lex flicks his wrist outward sending the blades flying at his targets.

His throwing knife skills and Scouting Eye gave him an almost unrivalled mid-range combat at the same level.

Lex knew that the Spacial Eye was too profound for him to use and didn't have enough energy to use it in battle, unlike other Eye Powers.

Most of the fast and nimble beasts managed to dodge most of the attack and received minor slashes instead of the deep and fatal wound Lex was aiming for.

"These beasts are too fast and intelligent and I have no way to defeat them" mumbles Lex as he kept jumping back in retreat and keeping a distance between him and the beasts.

Mid-range combat didn't work and neither did close combat with daggers when he is in the reach of the wolves, so Lex decided he would try to fight with a long close combat weapon to be close enough to be able to strike and still be out of reach.

As Lex played cat and mouse with the beasts he withdrew a long curved blade that had a long black hilt. The blade was about 1 and a half metres long and had a thin, long and sharp blade connected that glinted as light flashed upon it.

The blade was hard to handle and as somebody who had never used blades first hand, he had to adjust to the weight.

Scouring his mind he found an old manual that he had memorised the past reality on what was the Skynet about how to use weapons of this style.

They were called katanas and were used by thousands of years ago by samurais in what was called Japan at the time when samurais had fought in ancient warfare.

The katana was an incredible creation that flexes less than a long sword and can hold a sharper edge, allowing more force to be applied consistently across a smaller surface area and has a longer fighting range than other blades.

Tightly gripping the long blade hilt with both his hands, while he ran through the manual in his mind full of different frontal attacks, slashes, parries, defence all other uses of the katana.

His mind was working at incredible speeds and within seconds he felt that he knew within his mind how to use the katana well, but didn't have any first-hand experience of it with his body.

Within the seconds that this occurred in, the beasts who were much faster and more agile than Lex had already closed most of the distance between them and were about to attack.

The fox type Canidae beast closest to him pounces towards Lex with its jaw unhinged, revealing razor-sharp teeth with bloodstains, aiming to bite Lex's neck.

"Shit" he screams.
