Eye System

[I would like to gain control of your whole body permanently] stated the Eye Demon with an evil smile.

[Fuck no] declined Lex instantly, not willing to lose control to the Eye Demon, otherwise, there would be no point of their negotiation.

[Ha, I was only joking and was expecting this. So, I have come prepared with a perfect situation that will benefit us both] scoffed the Eye Demon as he began to laugh to himself.

[Do speak] urged Lex both curiously and desperately, knowing that he must gain the help of the Eye Demon quickly.

Lex didn't want to be reliant or allow his pride to be stepped on, but he had to keep calm and think logically about his situation.

If he could somehow gain the help of the Eye Demon, without any strings attached, he would be able to not only save himself, but also Angela, Ella and the entire continent from Mason and his guild.

[Okay, All I want is for you to create or provide me somewhere within your body for me to reside in, instead of staying sealed within your soul and continuously having to fight for control] declared the Eye Demon simply.

Lex was surprised, as the Eye Demon's request didn't seem one that was over the top and would also benefit him as the Eye Demon would be out of his way and not trying to gain control of his body.

Looking at the Eye Demon before him, who obviously wasn't going to change his offer, Lex saw it as his only option.

However, he still had to ask questions and wasn't trusting towards the Eye Demon in the slightest.

[Explain everything quickly without missing anything] rushed Lex, as he worried more about the state of his body, and Ella and Angela's safety.

[It is simple really, you will create a new part of your physical body for me to reside in, or provide me one that is already there. Then I will reside within your physical body and will have dominion over that part of the body. There are no strings attached] explained the Eye Demon.

[System is that possible] asked Lex, not trusting anything the Eye Demon said.

{Ding, it is possible for the host to do so, however, the system would recommend the host to not allow the Eye Demon to be freed from the host's soul and into the host's physical body as that would cause major backlash to the host and would destroy the system} advised the system.

[Shit] screamed Lex within his mind, given only two options of either imminent death or losing the system and maybe even the control of his body.

He couldn't fight against Mason, who was too powerful and had strong subordinates with him, and didn't want to give in to the Eye Demon.

So, was stuck in a predicament where either option he would suffer fatal losses.

Looking over at the Eye Demon with a hateful expression, he could see that the Eye Demon was enjoying seeing the desperation in Lex's eyes and burst out into maniacal laughter.

{Ding, the system suggests the host to form a third eye that can be used as a vessel for the Eye Demon that will give him what he had asked for, a physical part of your body, and the host can keep him sealed and entangled within your soul by making it not only a physical, but also a soul vessel like for Ashura who became the host's soul pet} suggested the system.

{Ding, the Eye Demon has requested something that has many loopholes to be exploited by the host and the host can use this as an opportunity to increase your power} stated the system.

Hearing the system's words, Lex couldn't help but also burst out into laughter as he also gave the Eye Demon a ridiculing look.

Lex was unsure of what it meant to do what the system had told him and didn't focus too much on the details, but knew that the system would be there if he required anything, which was why he was so unwilling to lose the system.

"I agree to your terms" declared Lex confidently, knowing that he had the heaven-defying system behind him.

"Okay then, we sign a pact here, whereby after I give my end of the deal, you also give your end of the deal" stated the Eye Demon as he placed out his hand.

[System is there no strings attached to this pact that will cause me trouble in the future] asked Lex cautiously.

{Ding, both the host and the Eye Demon share the same soul, where the host is the dominator. By agreeing to this it would be a soul pact that the host cannot go against. It will also only occur if the condition that, both must be willing for this soul pact to be formed, is met} informed him the system.

[Does this mean that the Eye Demon must fulfil his end of the deal without doing anything else] assumed Lex.

{Ding, the host is correct, the pact works both ways} affirmed the system.

Lex with a smile also put his hand out and accepted the pact, knowing that it not only restricted him to completing his end of the deal but also the Eye Demon.

"You will defeat the Voltacs and Mason, then return control of the body to me without doing anything else" stated Lex, binding the Eye Demon to the pact.

"And you will provide me with a new or already existing part of your physical body to reside in after I complete my side of the deal" stated the Eye Demon, binding Lex to the pact.

Both felt some sort of chain become latched onto their souls and knew that they wouldn't be free of the pact, unit their part was completed.

They both stepped away with each other, content with what they had gained from the deal.

Lex had been helped out of a ready situation and found a loophole through the system to provide the Eye Demon what he pleased, but also keep him bound to his soul.

Whereas the Eye Demon was also content as to him the task of massacring the Voltacs and Mason would be enjoyable and easy and he would gain a new vessel rather than staying within the Eye Prison.

Lex ignorantly believed he had fooled the Eye Demon, but the Eye Demon knew of what Lex was planning to do, by exploiting the loopholes, and didn't care.

He was still gaining a physical and soul vessel like Ashura, despite still being bound to Lex, and he wouldn't be completely sharing a soul with Lex, which was a very uncomfortable and restricting state to be in.

It got him an inch closer to his aim.

Taking complete control of Lex's body.

As the pact was completed, there was a sudden flash of light, and as the blinding light subsided, Lex saw that the Eye Demon had disappeared and felt his body suddenly moving, but not under his control.

Smiling to himself, Lex sat on the ground within the Eye Prison as he watched his body move under the control of the Eye Demon.

Lex who seemed to have lost consciousness for a few seconds from an outside perspective, suddenly jumped up.

His eyes burnt red as he glared at the 9 opponents around him.

"Hahahahaha, Lex you really had to turn to me to beat up these bunch of trash" ridiculed Evil Lex.

"Well, there are 8 trashy mongrels, or what you would call a leveller. And there is one dying bastard that is a moving corpse at this point" observed Evil Lex.

Lex hearing what his body was saying was once again shown the arrogance of the god-like demon that resided within him, as he watched closely to what was happening and concentrating on feeling and remembering everything that the Eye Demon does with his body.

Lex was extremely curious about what the third eye that the system had spoken of was, but in the current situation, didn't have the time to ponder on what it was and was completely focused on observing his body battle.

"Watch closely kid, I will show you the actual way to use the Spacial element" announced the Eye Demon as he burst out into arrogant laughter.

All meanwhile Mason and the Voltacs were frozen in shock of what they witnessing.

It seemed to them that Lex had gone completely crazy and was rambling on to himself.

"This crazy bastard. Don't let him intimidate you and charge" ordered Mason to his Voltacs.

Mason as a cultivator of the Demonic Arts could feel a suffocating aura around Lex. There was no aura being emitted by Lex in the slightest and it was entirely being suppressed and hidden by the Eye Demon in control.

However, Mason after taking a single glance at Evil Lex's eyes felt as though his soul was shaken as he couldn't help but feel deep fear towards the youth that he was previously looking down on.

Cautiously walking back to make some distance between himself and the demonic Evil Lex, Mason watched closely as his subordinates charged towards Lex.
