Chapter 137: Third Eye Part 2 (1/2)

After two hours of running in silence at full speed, Lex knew he was reaching where he had followed the Armadillo beast underground.

Suddenly Lex reached an abrupt halt.

[Everything about the third eye is great, but will I look like a freak with three eyes] asked Lex suddenly, having a weird and image of himself with eyes all around his body.

{Ding, while not activated the third eye won't affect the host's appearance, however, the host will be able to feel its presence within your forehead. But while activated, the third eye will be visible and will affect the host's appearence} stated the system.

Lex didn't care much about his appearance and cared less and less as he continued to experience life, but he also wanted to look nice for Ella and didn't want to look like a freak.

But after thinking about it, it would only change his appearance when activated and its power would be more than enough of a cover for his altered appearance.

Pondering on it more and more while heading towards his destination, it affected him less and less and knowing that Ella wasn't human and was very accepting of him, made him feel less insecure of what his abilities would cause to his appearance.

It took Lex another half an hour to finally reach the area he recognised as the entrance to the underground coves and was ready to begin the formation of the third eye as soon as he found an empty space.

The area around the entrance was densely populated with trees and covered the large hole in the ground that Lex had previously followed the armadillo beast into.

The hole merely went down a few hundred metres, but from what the system had told Lex it was much larger and deeper than that.

Lex jumped down without pondering about it too much and wasting his time and feel down straight into a dark cave that was closed off.

Scouting Eye

As Lex's eyes became completely clear, his vision fused with his senses and was enhanced, encapsulating the area around him.

Lex could see that the cave he was in was quite large and he remembered defeating the Armadillo beast within it, but couldn't find anything else.

If he wasn't told that it was part of the underground coves and would lead him to an underground structure large enough to rival a country he would have never realised.

Remembering the battle he had with the Armadillo beast, it continuously attempted to break through the right wall.

Streaming energy into his eyes, as it used more energy to look through solid objects, Lex attempted to see past the wall and was shocked to see that it wasn't endlessly thick like the rest of the walls and he managed to see past it.

Unlike what he had thought, behind there wall there seemed to be some sort of corridor that led him deeper underground.

Retracting his vision, not wanting to waste energy and it caused him strain, Lex sat on the ground.

”After forming my third eye within this underground cave, I will explore the underground coves and head down that tunnel” decided Lex who had found an empty and relatively safe space to begin the formation of the third eye.

[Where do we begin] asked Lex within his mind.

[You will use both your eyes and everything that has energy as a catalyst to form an amalgamation of your Eye Powers, will and soul in the centre of your forehead, then leave the formation to me as you are incapable of doing so] stated the Eye Demon.

[System should I go along with the Eye Demon] asked Lex cautiously.

{Ding, there is no need to worry, although I do not intervene in the growth of the host, the system also has the duty to assist and support the host and will not allow any mishaps during this process} reassured the system.

With the system's reassurance, he felt much better and began to withdraw bodies of all kinds of beasts.

[Stop you dimwit, there is obviously not enough space to place all the bodies of the beasts you have in your personal storage space] scolded the Eye Demon.
