Eye System

Chapter 257: Meteor-Like Attack

All the pirates that had previously been looking and hunting for Lex were groped up quite close, but it seemed as though the two that were leading them, were quite intelligent and skilled.

They formed a formation in which the physically stronger and those suited to defence were along the outside of the formation, while those that were more skilled at ranged combat or dealing damage were behind them.

In the centre of the formation were the two leaders and they had created a formation that seemed to have no obvious weaknesses and was also very flexible, giving them space to move around as they pleased and intercept Lex.

They believed that as long as they got Lex to reveal himself, even if it meant sacrificing some of their men, they would be able to overwhelm him with their numbers and power.

However, they were massively mistaken and couldn't imagine the power and abilities that Lex had in his arsenal that made him very difficult to fight against.

With a fire ball in each hand, Lex began walking towards them and wasn't planning on using stealth or strategy against them.

There was no need to and in the face of true power, everything else became futile.

Even with his current strength and all the progress that Lex made, he could only use so much of the Hell Blaze Flame's power and was strained while using it.

That went to show just how powerful it was and sensing Lex's killing intent and the fact that he was using the Hell Blaze Flame, Ashura and the Originator Eye Demon that resided within his Third Eye became intrigued and began watching what was occurring from within Lex's mind.

Lex sensed them doing so, but didn't mind and he had already come to terms with the Eye Demon and Ashura, while there was no need for him to hide what he was doing, anyway.

"He had revealed himself, prepare yourself for a frontal attack and also beware of his speed and do not look directly into his eyes," yelled the two pirate captains as they prepared to take on Lex who was heading towards them.

They had set up their formation in a clearing within the forest and believed that by bringing him into the open, they could surround and take him down, while the effectiveness of his speed would be reduced.

But they were mistaken and in Lex's eyes, they had merely rallied themselves up to be slaughtered by him. 

There were all sorts of Eye Masters and their abilities varied greatly, with the possibilities being endless, but the one advice that was given to all when facing an Eye Master was to never look directly into their eyes and to expect the unexpected.

It was good advice, but Lex wasn't any average Eye Master.

He had the Eye System and many powerful Eye Powers, that he didn't even need to use against them.

"You sought me out even after I didn't take you guys on head-on. Even if you brought an entire army, it would never be enough and you will all perish here right now," bellowed Lex as he released a suffocating killing intent and aura.

They were all experienced and tried to stay calm, but their resolves had been shaken by his words and presence as they prepared to face him,

Previously Lex and his companions had appeared like vulnerable youths that they could steal from, and yet before them seemed to be a monster that was wielding dark flames in each of his hands.

"Don't falter, he is alone and even if he was a Mortal King, we would still be able to defeat him with our numbers," reassured them one of the pirate captains.

"Crush that brat together" bellowed the other as they all began charging towards Lex.

Lex smiled and was amused by their poor attempt of increasing morale and deceiving themselves that they had a chance against him.

Pouring extreme amounts of energy into his Hell Blaze Flame Seed, then streaming the Hell Blaze Flame's energy into his hands, the fire balls in Lex's hands began to expand at alarming rates.

They grew to the size of boulders and were as powerful as bombs, along with having the attribute to consume anything and everything that it came across.

It strained Lex's body to produce such powerful attacks, while it was also difficult to hold in his hands, even for the few instants that he did, but it was the perfect attack to deal with them.

Suddenly launching himself into the air, Lex flung the two giant, black orbs of explosive and all-consuming flames, before bursting himself as far away as he could from there.

Since it was his flame, the fire itself wouldn't harm his body, but the impact and power of that attack were too powerful for him to stay close to as he launched himself as far away from the attack as he could.

He himself was shocked by the power of the attack and he compressed as much Fire Energy that he streamed through the Hell Blaze Flame Seed, into two balls and was unsure just how powerful it would be.

To his surprise, the entire area around had been destroyed and a large crater was left behind where he flung his attack and the pirates were once grouped.

It was as if a meteor had landed there and Lex was launched flying even further away by the shock wave, and barely managed to stabilise mid-air and land safely after using such a large amount of energy so abruptly.

Heading back to where he had flung the attack, everything had been burnt to a crisp, and the flames were still raging on

Lex was shocked to find that there were still a few pirates that hadn't been killed instantly by the attack that were letting out howls of pain as they were burned alive, but Lex didn't feel any remorse.

He returned to make sure that they were all eliminated, then rushed away, knowing that in the drained state he was in, it was dangerous to stay there, as others from the Blood Sword Group were likely to show up.
