Chereads / Death Bringer: Eyes of Death / Chapter 2 - The Awakening of Death Eyes

Chapter 2 - The Awakening of Death Eyes

Neru walked quietly treading to the forest nervously. As a normal civilian on Earth, he doesn't possess any fighting skills. Heck, he didn't even hit the gym due to the hectic schedule at his university.

On Earth, everything was far too peaceful. There's no wars. Though crime is inevitable, it doesn't make Earth as dangerous as the cultivation world he was now in.

In Neru's line of sight, there was a piece of wood the size of a twig. He became alert in an instant. Usually, in the movies he watches, the protagonist usually accidentally steps on them and produces sounds that attract the attention of dangerous entities. Not to mention, he was in the middle of quiet forest. He doesn't dare to make any sound!

Neru smiled. 'Not happening to me.'

Suddenly, a black shadow arrived beside him like a phantom. Neru doesn't have enough reaction speed or battle-hardened instinct to evade such attack. He could only grasp the pair of daggers tighter to avoid it from escaping his hands.

CRACK!

A loud sound of bones breaking was heard in the forest along with a pig-like scream.

Neru hit the tree with his back and he accidentally spat a mouthful of blood.

ROAR!!

"I just transmigrated and I'm about to die. T-this... I'm really too unlucky.' Neru immediately stood up even though he felt as if a saw was grinding his bones.

Fortunately, his spine didn't break or something or he would be paralyzed. This is life and death now! Adrenaline rush surge throughout his body and he has an illusion that he was infinitely powerful.

Of course, Neru was educated enough to know that adrenaline wasn't that perverted. In the Earth, Adrenaline was the closest to superpower but they only appeared once a person was pushed to the brink of despair. Some even manage to lift a car temporarily to save a child.

Neru took a closer look at the assailant in front of him. 'This isn't good.'

A shudder passed through his body. The one that sneaked attack upon him was a black tiger with green stripes on its body. It's double the size of K9 and Neru could even see lean muscles on it.

The black tiger bared its fangs as if intended to leap at him and ravage him once and for all.

"Can we calm down? Promise, I won't taste that good. Look, I'm just a frail young man. You won't even feel you ate anything."

Neru nervously tried to communicate hoping that the black tiger in front of him was one of those intelligent beasts in the cultivation books he has read in the past.

The black tiger charged at Neru without paying heed to his words.

It's do or die!

Thanks to adrenaline, Neru reacted almost immediately as he swung his dagger towards the tiger.

Suddenly, Neru felt the world around him change. He doesn't know if it was an illusion or something but the surroundings were filled with lines like thread along with black tiny holes.

He felt as if everything became fragile that one swing could destroy everything!

The tiger in front of Neru has lines on its body similar to the lines around them. There's even four tiny black holes that wasn't there previously located on its neck, paw, chest, and ahmm... Anus.

'What the fuck are these things!? Am I hallucinating because I'm about to die?''

Neru instinctively directed his dagger on one of the lines on the tiger which has its vicious gaze upon him. Neru doesn't have hope that his puny dagger would be able to do anything.

But he was wrong...

The dagger met the line and something unexpected happen. Neru didn't feel any resistance and he stared wide-eyed as his dagger cut cleanly through the paw of the black tiger like a butter.

ROARRR!!!!

The black tiger let out a painful wail and it stopped its body from moving forward as it saw its paw got hurled away to the grass.

'The hell?' Neru dumbfoundedly looked at his dagger and missing paw of the black tiger.

Did he just really do managed to slash it like a piece of tofu!?

Neru was estatic. Isn't this his golden finger!? The privilege of traversers like him!? Althought it wasn't a system, he was thankful that he at least has something.

Neru didn't dare to think too much and he quickly ran away opposite direction of the black tiger that was struggling to lick the blood on its severed body part.

The black tiger noticed Neru's movement but it didn't intend to chase. It doesn't have the intent to deal with the human as it was currently suffering.

The tiger couldn't comprehend with it's low intellect how an ordinary human managed to deal such lethal attack to him. The human wasn't even a cultivator that even its kin feared so how?

Neru turned his head around while running as his life depends on it. However, when he saw the black tiger's expression filled with agony, an idea emerged on his mind.

'Let's try it!' Neru stopped behind a towering tree and activated his golden finger.

Suddenly, a weird icy sensation passed through his eyes. Everything around him was filled with lines and tiny holes yet again. No, its not that the environment transformed but it was his perspective that changed!

Neru suddenly realized. 'It's my eyes.'

Neru didn't hesitate any longer and slash one of the lines on the tree and the scene from before appeared again. His dagger cut through the thick bark of tree effortlessly. There's no resistance at all, as in zero!

BOOM!

Everything happened real fast and the five meter thick tree collapsed on top of the black tiger burying it alive.

Neru only saw splash of blood akin to a squashed tomato. 'That's awesome.'

Neru carefully observed the spot where the black tiger was. After few seconds, he was sure that it died so he went beside it with relieve expression.

"That's fucking close! Fortunately my cheat arrived in time!" Neru wiped the sweat on his forehead. Then stabbed one of the small holes in the tree out of curiosity.

Just like that, Neru witnessed as the entire tree began to shrivel as it rapidly lost its vitality until it its leaves turned dark and the wood lost its previous lively luster. In the end, the tree lost its lifeforce as if it was a person that has its every drop of blood sucked by a vampire.

Then, he cut the body of the tiger on the area without lines and he finally felt the strong blockage or resistance. He couldn't even scratch its skin with his dagger. Well, as it normally should!

'This is the ability of my eyes? I can cut and bring the death to everything as long as I hit those lines and little holes?? Too OP!' Neru had the urge to jump around like a madman but he controlled himself. "From now on, I will call this eyes as Conceptual Eyes of Death."

He was still in a forbidden forest! Albeit his chances of survival had increase drastically with his newly awakened eye ability!
