Chapter 1001 Centipedal

Chapter 1001 Centipedal

Lex was standing in the middle of nowhere, far away from the Midnight Inn. But, oddly enough, the sense of control he had in the Inn did not disappear. This was the first time he was stepping outside the Inns territory since raising his level, so he was only now noticing the change.

Within the Inn, it was the system that empowered him and gave him absolute control over his environment. But right now, while he did not have absolute control, he felt like it wouldn't be so hard to manipulate the world.

When he looked at the field of endless bodies, he could sense a strange pattern once again. It was as if the random layout of the bodies of the deceased was not so random, and followed some kind of underlying rule or law. But once again, the pattern was too vague and abstract for him to completely comprehend.

But he could read bits of the pattern. It was almost as if events were playing back in reverse in front of his eyes. He could see countless conspiracies behind the war, countless false promises and unclear motivations. He could see a hate, distorted and empowered beyond their means to control. He could see a weapon unleashed to slaughter the enemy, but it grew too powerful. T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

He only saw bits and pieces, but he could gather the overarching story of what happened. More importantly, since he understood the land in front of him with greater depth than a simple visit would normally give, he also knew how he could manipulate it in the easiest way possible.

There were many affinities that Lex had that he didn't practice. But right now, he felt like if he had even the slightest control over his affinity for Wood, or for Nature, he could use all the bodies here and turn this from a barren land into a lush forest.

But even without them, he sensed that this land had been severely harmed, and he could actually use his affinity for Regeneration to heal the land.

While normally Lex was a fan of tanking attacks head on, he sensed that these attacks were dangerous, and hid their true devastating quality within the darkness, so he dodged as well. While Lex wanted to test out his new abilities, he didn't want to prolong the battle unnecessarily. He came here because he sensed danger from this creature, so he stopped holding back.

He Blinked right behind the creature, and used Space Warp on the creature's back. In a ten feet (3 meter) region around his hand, space began to bend, causing light and gravity to behave oddly. The sudden spike in gravity caused the creature's backbone to snap, causing it to fall limp on the ground, though it was far from a lethal injury.

The creature screamed again, and traces of black energy began accumulating around its claws, but Lex gave it no time to retaliate. He used Inferno Blade: Judgment and buried his sword in the creature's back, channeling the flaming sword intent into its body.

Simultaneously, he converted some of his attacks into spirit attacks, assaulting its mind and causing it to immediately fracture.

But even as a massive hole burnt through its torso, and it's mind was broken, the creature did not die. Its resilience was astounding.

Before Lex could continue to attack, an overwhelming repulsive force blasted him into the air with such might that it actually caused him to become a little breathless. But even though Lex had been pushed back, his attack was not so easily dismissed, and flames continued to eat at the creature's upper body.

Its lower, centipedal body writhed for half a second, before it disconnected from the torso, and then split once more into a hundred smaller sections, each with two bony legs. Each section began doing different things, with many of them immediately feasting on the corpses while a few began burrowing into the ground to escape. Others began to fly away, while others still lurched towards Lex, wrapped in black energy.
