Eye System

Lex had exhausted most of the Internal Energy in his body, but with his External strength alone, he could kill the rest of the beasts with ease.

Smashing apart rock worms, Lex massacred hundreds of rock worm beasts, who despite their power, were no match for Lex.

Collecting all their beast cores, Lex was preparing as much energy as he could in preparation for his breakthrough into the Golden Mortal Rank, that required enormous amounts of energy.

Dashing towards where he had left his fox beasts, Lex was pleased to see that there were only a few casualties and his beasts were able to protect themselves and slowly take over more and more of the territory that belonged to the rock worm beasts.

Seeing his fox beasts being able to protect themselves, Lex sat down on the ground and began hungrily recovering his Internal and External energy, that had been drained during his battle against the Rock Worm King and other rock worm beasts along the way.

Within a few hours, Lex was fully recovered and the fox beasts were able to take over a quarter of the rock worm beasts' territory, that were still attempting to fight back against the fox beasts that had only suffered a few casualties.

The rock worm beasts knew that the rest of the inner areas of the Underground Coves belonged to another beast tribe that they had no chance against without their king, so had no choice but to stay and attempt to defend their territory.

Standing up Lex began collecting many beast cores of the peak Sky Mortal Rank and above, leaving some for his fox beasts to consume.

Lex felt confident in his power, after seeing how powerful his defence was, and felt as though the other beast tribes wouldn't be a problem for himself and his fox beasts, other than the most central and powerful giant ant beast tribe that had a powerful ant queen that even Lex was wary of.

Rushing around the territory of the rock worm beasts, Lex massacred any Heaven Rank Mortal beast, that he felt his fox beast army would struggle against, and left the rest of the beasts for the fox beasts to take out.

[While they defeat the rest of the beasts, I will try out my new Eye Power] decided Lex after defeating enough beasts that were of a high rank, that would make it so that the fox beasts could defeat the rest of the beasts.

Energy Projectile Eye

Lex activated the new Eye Power, that he sensed appear within his Eye Power library as soon as he gained it from the system, and he suddenly felt an application with his Eye Power similar to that of the Self-Cloning Eye.

The Energy Projectile Eye would emit projectiles that had varying strength and attributes, depending on the amount of energy that Lex streamed into the attack and what elemental attribute he imbued the projectile with.

"Interesting" mumbled Lex to himself as he felt the ability to compress energy within his eyes and shoot it.

Excited to try it out, Lex streamed a small amount of energy into his eyes, to test out its ability, and shot out an attributeless energy projectile.

Two balls of energy were shot out of Lex's eyes, where he was looking and aiming towards, and as they struck their target, they caused a small explosion.

"Its power is great and its potential is unlimited, as long as my energy grows" stated Lex to himself, pleased with the ability he gained.

Lex couldn't help but wonder what were the limits of the Eye System and what other Eye Powers were possible for him to gain,

He also couldn't imagine the power of a fabled SSS Eye Power that he was yet to have the opportunity to acquire or buy with system points, which he no longer saw as the best way to increase his strength.

As Lex was thinking about how much he preferred missions to gain rewards rather than needing to earn system points, he was suddenly alerted by the system.

{Ding, Mission Issued - Take over the Underground Coves - Reward: Portable Sub-Dimension} announced the system.

[What is a portable sub-dimension] asked Lex, who could roughly tell what it was but wanted to the system to explain it in detail.

{Ding,A Portable Sub-Dimension will be a space that is bound to the host's soul and can only be entered by the host or those that the host allows to enter. Just like the inventory, it requires the host's mental and Internal Energy to use and is draining to use on large impacts. But what differentiates it from the inventory is that it can hold energy of its own and form a world of its own, that can grow with the more energy and resources that the host provides to it. Because of that, it is habitual by both plants and living beings, and the host can hold the fox beasts and grow plants within it} explained the system.

It was an incredible reward, that was precisely what he needed to be able to take his fox beasts around with him, but for it, he needed large amounts of energy to cultivate it and also to provide it resources and energy for it to grow.

However, the pros outweighed the cons and Lex was excited to cultivate a sub-dimension of his own, where he could hold his fox beasts and any other living plants or beings, that he couldn't place in the inventory.

[Well, for now, there isn't much for me to do and I should leave it to my fox beasts] thought Lex to himself as he activated his Self-Cloning Eye and began forming clones one after another, stopping to recover his energy between each clone.

He could now form 4 clones with the Energy Projectile Eye that he gained and ordered them all to learn and contemplate more on the Elemental Ascension Method and the Penetrative Fist, knowing that cultivation would be pointless.

It was very straining to sustain 4 clones at once while cultivating himself, but Lex bore the pain as determinedly continued learning and contemplating more of the Elemental Ascension Method.
