Chapter 1239 Trying things out

Lex looked up and saw the black clouds churning, and absorbing energy from the entire realm as they replenished their energy, and gave birth to new lightning bolts. The third tribulation would have 27 lightning strikes, as each tribulation increases the number of lightning strikes by nine.

But after taking a glance at the lightning clouds, Lex turned his attention back to the dragon. He could not be bothered by this lightning. It was completely incapable of harming him, and even in the situation where it might harm him, overcoming the tribulation would fill him with traces of the strange immortal vitality that would aid in healing his body.

Lex ignored it and turned back towards the dragon.

"How many planets did you guys set my bounty as? Was it 32 planets? Or 23? Something like that, right?"

The purple dragon stared back at him with anger bubbling in his eyes. Even suppressed as he was, there was not a shred of fear in his eyes. There was only anger and being made to kneel, at being humiliated.

Lex withdrew his Domination, freeing the dragon from his suppression. Lex genuinely expected the dragon to immediately attack him, and he did roar out angrily at Lex the moment he got free. Shockwaves blasted Lex and broke the ground, while even more chaos was stimulated within the zone.

But, to Lex's immense surprise, the dragon did not attack. After he vented much of his anger through the roar, the dragon stood its ground, and stared at Lex, as if deep in contemplation.

Lex shrugged, and turned back to the Wyvern in the distance. So far, it had put up a lot less resistance than Lex expected. what he had gathered, Sanguis Pluvia were planning something pretty major in the tourney. But that was also fine. If that was the limit of his strength, then Lex would take his time and enjoy beating him up and forcing his hand.

Lex's eye was attracted to something shining right behind Jeffrey, and he noticed a very familiar sight even though he could not recognize why it was familiar. It seemed like some metal ore, but it was way too pure to just be ore.

Strangely, he felt the laws resist him this time. Intuitively he understood that last time, they had been cooperative because of the effect of his Domination.

He could try the same now and achieve the result he wanted, but his instincts were guiding him in another direction. Something within him was telling him to focus on his right eye. He channeled energy into his right eye, and suddenly array characters started to appear in the air around him, automatically turning into an array that did exactly what he wanted.

This was also interesting, as for the first time he witnessed how arrays influenced laws to bring about the effects he wanted. Simultaneously, he understood that the ability in his eye was far from the simple demonstration he just did.

The array that was formed was using all the characters that he knew, and were formed on the basis of his knowledge. But it was effortless and ridiculously quick. He recalled the days he struggled to quickly produce an array during a fight. He would never have that problem again.

"You talk too much," Lex said, and grabbed the Wyvern's mouth. Yet this time, instead of his hand going through the projection, he held onto it, as if he was touching the Wyvern himself.

Lex smiled. He recalled when abstract things happening within the Midnight realm confused him, but right now they made so much sense.

Lex was not touching the projection, nor was he touching the Wyvern. What he was touching was the connection between the projection and the Wyvern, and through it affecting the Wyvern itself.

Unfortunately, since Lex was still new to this, his application of his ability was still weak. By touching the connection Lex could not transmit enough strength to actually hurt the Wyvern. But it was enough to shut him up.

Lightning struck Lex once more, and a slight electric buzz traveled from Lex to the Wyvern, who was standing in shock, staring at Lex!

The electric shock seemed to wake him up, and he finally reacted, breaking free of the connection. The projection in front of Lex disappeared, but that only made Lex chuckle.

How could it be so easy to hide from Lex, especially now?
