Chapter 92: 92: Bird Chase

After a while of dashing over the buildings of the slums, Lex found a nice flat roof with not many people nearby.

"This place is fine, now to open my rewards" he mumbled excitedly.

Just as he was about to sit down and open his rewards he heard a sudden notification that stopped him before he could open his rewards.

{Ding, Mission Issued: Catch the red delivery bird that is headed towards the inner country and kill it and take the letter it was delivering before it reached the border - Reward - The C-Rank Eye Power Draw will be elevated to a B-Rank Eye Power Draw.

Consequences - The host will gain the unwanted attention of powerful elders within the Voltiac Guild} the system announced.

Being the first mission Lex had been given that had a consequence, he realised just how serious it was and knew he had no time to waste and needed to chase after the bird.

But he had no idea where it was.

Suddenly he felt his vision forcefully turn in the direction of the inner city and in the distance he could see a small red bird rapidly flying away.

His eyes seemed to be locked on to and targeted at the small red bird and seeing the distance between them, Lex knew he had no time to waste as he burst off his feet, off the building he was on.

Jumping from building to building, using his strong legs and reinforcing them with energy, Lex was dashing from building to building at rapid speeds as he felt the exhilarating rush of his face crashing against the wind without a care in the world.

However, the nice moment was short-lived remembering his mission and how serious it was as he withdrew a black longbow from his inventory and a quiver filled with arrows that he latched onto his back.

Perceptive Eye

With his vision already targetted on the bird that seemed to be due to the mission, Lex activated the Perceptive Eye that caused his eye to form a target with a red centre.

As his eye transformed, Lex felt as though his mind was working faster as he planned his route over the buildings within his more perceptive state.

Lex was slowly gaining on the red bird, but was anxious that he would begin to tire out before the bird and decided that he would take it down as soon as possible before he became fatigued.

Now within a distance of 5 miles, he knew that the distance was still too far for him to get an accurate shot on the small red bird.

Streaming more energy into his legs for explosive power, Lex began to skip over buildings as he burnt larger amounts of energy to increase his speed.

After a few minutes of catching up to the bird, he finally entered the 1-mile radius range around the bird.

"It's now or never" roared Lex as he burst forth and pulled back his bowstring.

Estimating the trajectory of the arrow and factoring in the wind and shooting ahead of where the bird is, Lex released the fully pulled back bowstring.

Lex's shooting form was very basic, but wasn't incorrect, so it would still be mostly accurate but still could be majorly improved as he continued training.

The arrow whistled through the air as it blitzed towards the red bird.

Withdrawing another arrow in preparation and drawing the bowstring, Lex continued to dash towards it.

Just as the arrow was about to pierce the bird, it seemed to sense a disturbance in the air behind it and abruptly turned away.

Instead of completely piercing through the bird, the arrow merely managed to slash past its left wing.

Despite not taking down the bird in one strike, Lex could instantly see its flying speed was lowering and it was beginning to falter, but seemed to be heading to the ground wanting to hide.

Releasing is bowstring once again, Lex's second arrow managed to slash the birds back, that dove down to the ground to hide.

It was still day and people were about and Lex had been led closer towards the centre of the Outer Country, so there was much less poverty and people should also be more powerful.

Returning his bow into the inventory, Lex continued jumping from building to building and jumped down to the area he saw the bird dive down to.

He was receiving weird looks from those around him, but they weren't of disgust, but of curiosity, seeing a hooded figure in white robes dashing over there heads at fast speeds.

Scouting Eye.

Lex felt his previously targetted and perceptive vision become much wider and sensitive as everything around him came into his vision.

As soon as his vision spread far enough, Lex felt the same sensation he felt previously, as his vision instantly locked onto the small red bird that was hidden in between a few crates in a street store.

Lex couldn't help but chuckle to himself and walked around the area pretending he didn't know where the bird is, allowing it to weaken and lose more blood, so it couldn't fly away.

[If I didn't train with a bow, this mission would have been almost impossible] noticed Lex even more grateful about the weapon guide his master gave him.

After a few minutes, Lex in a sudden burst of speed dashed at the street store and slid under it, and as he did so grabbed the small red bird that had lost a lot of blood so was too slow to react.

"Theif" screams the store owner, assuming the hooded figure that slid under his store had stolen something.

Everyone turned to Lex and began to point and shout thief, but Lex knew better than to stay there and wait for somebody powerful to come and cause a bigger commotion and launched himself into the air and on top of a nearby building and with all the power in his legs dashed back towards the slums and away from the small market he found the red bird hiding in.

Looking at the red bird that Lex had tightly gripped in his hand, he could see it was on the verge of death and seemed to be in pain.

Without any remorse, he snapped the small bird's neck and after taking the letter attached to its leg, placed it in the inventory as not to leave anybody or evidence of him having something to do with it.

Luckily nobody chased after him and they probably wouldn't have been able to catch him, but one thing he noticed is that there haven't been any large commotions from Max Ford and Lex hadn't heard from him in a while.

[At least I still am clear as Lex and am safe] Lex thought, happy that he didn't use his real identity to join the Voltiac Guild and complete his missions.

Lex slowed down as he began to feel his body getting tired and his energy reserves dwindling as he stopped on top of the highest building around him that was 20 metres high.

His calves were burning after all the jumping and explosive bursts that he did and Lex finally sat down.

"I can now finally open my rewards" mumbled Lex tired of all the complications that always came his way.

Opening the letter that he had taken from the bird, Lex realised just how much trouble he had gotten himself into.

"They are recording everything I do, trying to guess my age and sending it to Elder Mason" blurted out Lex as he slapped his forehead in regret.

He really had gotten himself into trouble and an elder of the Voltiac Guild was not something Lex could even dream of defeating at his current LVL.

[I will need to ask my master if she knows Elder Mason, but now its time to open my rewards] he said to himself excitedly.

{Ding, the host has completed the mission - Reward: Elevation of your Eye Power Draw to B-Rank and The Lock-On Skill} the system announced.

{Ding, the Lock-On Skill allows the host to place an Eye Mark on a target and the host's vision will automatically Lock-On to them if they are within your vision, just like what just occurred with the red delivery bird.

However, it only lasts for 24 hours and the host must be within 50 miles of the target. The range and time scale will increase with the host's strength} the system explained.

"Amazing, this will be really useful when hunting or chasing somebody" exclaimed Lex.

{Ding, the host must withdraw all the rewards from the system if he wants to acquire them.

The Dual Eye Skill and the Lock-On Skill can be directly and instantly learned once the host gives the system permission.

The host also has a B-Rank Eye Power Draw and the Mortal LVL 50 Packet and the Item Creation Skill.

Usually, the system wouldn't announce to the host when missions are completed due to complications and not wanting to disturb the hos} the system reminded him.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about the LVL 50 packet and the Item Creation Skill I received from defeating the Canidae Horde" Lex realised.

"I have so many rewards to open, and it's all thanks to my amazing Eye System" he exclaims with a wide and excited smile, finally ready to open his rewards.
