Chapter 1048 Embarrassing

There weren't many people in the tavern to begin with, but the few that were there were startled by the noise. Most of them hadn't noticed when the bloody man entered the place, so they were unsure of what exactly happened. But seeing as how the tavern owner was not worried, they calmed down and returned to their drinks.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

None of them were really in the right frame of mind to worry about other things at the moment.

Lex returned to his thoughts about the clone. The activation of his physique might be the key, unless it was a freak accident that would require resin. If that were the case, if he could find another humanoid body in good condition, say a devil or an elf, he might be able to replicate the process. The question was, did he want to do that?

Since he was as yet unaware of any potential drawbacks having a clone may have, making more of them might not be the best idea.

That's when he realized that he said humanoid instead of human. Wasn't his physique only supposed to work on humans? Why did it work on a fairy?

But as if he were getting some feedback from his own body, he understood that it now affected all humanoids, and not just humans! This was a level beyond what Cassandra had told him!

If previously, he had to hide his body from powerful forces like the Jotun empire, now he would have to hide it from every humanoid force that existed! Why did it change? Did it have something to do with the resin?

Again, he just innately knew that this was what his physique had always been like.

If that was the case, he needed to figure out a good way to hide his physique from detection before he left the Midnight Inn.

As it turned out, the blood covering his body was not his own, and beside the mild concussion Lex had given him, he was fine. So, with nothing else to fix, Lex's blood began to heal the old wounds in the man's body, and brought him to a new peak.

"In my defense, I'm too used to rude people coming in and picking a fight," Lex said, explaining himself to the man, who stood bewildered. Then he sighed and came and sat beside Lex.

"Never mind, it's just that kind of day I guess," he said as he grabbed a drink from who turned out to be just a really well- dressed bartender.

"I paid for the damages," Lex said, still feeling kind of bad. He made a mental note about acting mysterious - confirm the situation before making a move. Otherwise, he would just end up looking silly as well.

Little did Lex know that his small act of slapping the man away like a nuisance, then healing him beyond his wildest dreams, made him seem much more mysterious than anything he could have planned.

The man just grunted, accepting Lex's explanation.

Lex turned his attention back to his problem. Most likely, the best solution he could come up with was to ask the system for a quest that would reward him with a way to hide his physique. Although he didn't know if the system would be cooperative, at least it was on talking terms with him now. It might be worth a shot.

Meanwhile, if he could somehow determine that his clone had no drawbacks to himself, should he try to make another one? But if he did, Lex wanted a really cool one. Asking for a Celestial might be too much, but there had to be other powerful humanoid races with cool abilities.

Elves did not impress him so much, outside of their immortality. Devils could control demons, which was kind of cool, he supposed. Angels... well, he wasn't certain what was special about angels yet. There had to be more, right?

Lex had very high standards. The fact that he didn't even know if could continue to create clones was a separate matter entirely.
