Eye System

As they approached closer to each other, the pressure was becoming more immense, and both sides had no idea who would come out on top in this encounter.

The final 8 beasts left crouched in preparation to release all the energy they had left in one attack towards Lex, while Lex clenched his blade, ready to defend himself.

ROAR

The beasts all roar in rage and desperation as they pounce at Lex with their claws out, wanting to rip him into shreds.

Lex, in a final bid to win the battle, streams the last threads of energy in his body into his arms.

Lex slashed out with as much power as he could, aiming at the beasts' throats and managed to slice the necks of two of the beasts, but his fatigued and weak arms didn't have enough power to follow through the rest of the beasts.

2 beasts were able to pounce onto Lex and dug their claws into his chest and held him down.

"Shit, I can't fail again so early" screams Lex as blood seeped from where the beasts had their claws in.

Everything that was right about this reality and his second chance such as starting in the Lower Plains and having the spacial eye was slipping through his hands as he felt he had no way to get out of this situation.

Meanwhile, within the orphanage, a black raven also felt immense pain around its body in the same way its master was as their souls were connected.

[Degraded to the point of being a pet from being at the pinnacle of the universe, and yet I still have to go through this annoying pain and my master is getting kicked around in the Lower Plains on such a weak and insignificant so-called continent] thought Ashura to himself in a frustrated manner.

Ashura hovered in front of the mysterious old lady, who was huddling in the corner of the orphanage with the rest of the children in fear after hearing all the screams and attempts to communicate with her.

After a few seconds he got frustrated about being stuck in the form of a raven and flew off out of the orphanage, but seeing the glint in his eyes the woman understood that Lex was in trouble and assumed it probably had something to do with the commotion.

"Just what in the hell is going on out there" mumbled the old lady as she reassured the crying children.

The black raven flapped its small black wings rapidly as it blitzed through the air towards Lex's position, which he could sense.

Meanwhile, Lex thought that it was the end of his life for the second time, but still clung to hope and didn't fall into despair and was still calm despite having two large beasts on top of him.

Withdrawing the golden ring with the red gem on it, Lex had it within his palm that was clenched tightly and was arguing with himself whether to use it or not.

The fatigued beast who was sure that they had won, which they had, held down Lex as the rest all stand around him and from their very loyal nature were going to make sure they avenge their fallen brethren.

They were all drooling looking forward to devouring Lex's flesh as they glare straight into his to imbue fear and gain satisfaction.

Kano was also helpless in such a situation and despite its wondrous abilities, unlike the Soul Pet, it didn't seem to be able to store energy for long periods of time or cultivate as well so with Lex having hardly any energy was useless.

[I have no choice but to awaken that demon] thought Lex hopelessly as he inconspicuously fiddled with the ring within his hand attempting to put it on with one hand and without alerting the beasts.

Until he felt a sudden reassuring caw within his mind which he recognised to be that of Ashura that alerted him before he could put it on and he returned it into the inventory, hoping he could survive this encounter without being taken over by the demon.

Ashura would have loved for the Originator Eye Demon to be in control of Lex as they seemed to have an unknown past, but he had unknowingly stopped that from happening when he tried to communicate with Lex to tell him that he was coming.

A black raven could be seen swooshing over the slums, and after seeing deceased beasts everywhere and 6 beasts left all surrounding one figure that lay there, it swooped down towards there.

[What can a small black bird do to 8 large beasts] Lex wondered, underestimating his Soul Pet.

Hovering over the battlefield, which bought the attention of all the beasts and Lex, it seemed to want something from Lex.

[What do I have that Ashura would want that it needs to be able to help me] contemplated Lex.

[Maybe the Mortal Energy Recovery Pills I bought] he suggested.

Instantly he heard shrieks of affirmation within his mind and saw the black bird, that was hovering above them by flapping its wings gently over them, nodding wildly.

Lex put all his hope of survival on Ashura and knew that if it came to the worst-case scenario he would have to put on the ring to awaken the Originator Eye Demon who seemed to be capable of doing anything.

The inventory feature of the system allowed him to place and withdraw any non-living items within it and it the larger the item was or the further away it was or will be from the user, the more energy it will use.

With the spacial eye, his affinity with space itself was heightened and lowered the burden of using the inventory for Lex who made all 7 pills left appear out of thin air as far up in the air as he could, to give Ashura the opportunity to be able to eat them all.

"It's now all up to you" mumbled Lex as he lost consciousness after straining himself to use the inventory his state.
