Chapter 1297 Some kind of freak

Lex chuckled as he caught Liz and kept her from falling. He asked Little Blue to land while he used a small rejuvenating technique to help alleviate the stress on Liz's mind and help her cope, allowing her to wake up.

The truth of the matter was that Liz hadn't slept in days in preparation to save Harriet from that ship, faced near capture from an Immortal and was finally rescued from her brother, who she hadn't talked to in years. It was a bit much.

"Do you want to get some rest first?" Lex asked as they stepped off the whale. He could tell just how mentally and physically drained she was, though she didn't show it.

"No, I'm fine," Liz said as she summoned an inhaler and took a puff. The next moment she seemed completely recovered, as if she was ready to fight a battle.

Lex shrugged and continued to lead her, though he made a mental note to skip much of the showing off he had planned and get right to the matter at hand. He quickly considered the best options for Liz in case his first choice didn't work out as he led her to see Fenrir.

Even though he canceled most of his other plans to show off, he still had to introduce Liz to Fenrir. They walked into a Meditation room and found Fenrir in his actual, full size, curled up in the middle of the room.

Without shrinking himself, Fenrir was actually much larger than Lex. He was approximately the size of one and a half school buses.

The sound of their steps alerted the pup who looked up and winced as it saw Lex. Although the tribulation was over, Fenrir had suffered quite a few burns during the process. Regardless of how strong he was, for his own race he was still a pup, and so the grievous wounds had caused it to act like a wounded child. He turned his head, showing Lex where he wanted to be scratched.

For some reason, her hand froze in the air where it was when she saw Liz. Liz, on the other hand, was listening to Lex's explanation when her eyes locked with Giselle, and she froze as well.

An unspoken, uncommunicated tension suddenly built between the two of them - one that Lex also sensed, but did not understand.

"Oh, hey Giselle," Lex said in his casual tone, hoping to break the tension. "How was your meditation session? I hope you gained something from it."

"It was quite fruitful indeed," she said, a hint of formality entering her tone. "My mastery over the law of time has increased manifold. It will be very difficult for someone in the Earth Immortal realm to challenge me now."

Normally, she would not have revealed such sensitive information. But at the moment, she found herself unable to hold back, her gaze filled with open challenge as she looked at Liz.

Liz, on the other hand, was only just beginning to warm up to her brother, and even that just barely, but the moment she saw Giselle, she suddenly felt incredibly protective of him, as if she did not want to share her brother with anyone else.

After all, he was the only one who had shown her any semblance of familial warmth in many years. Just as she was about to introduce herself to Giselle, Lex spoke.

"Oh wow, the law of time. That must be impressive. I had to seal my own time affinity away before I became an immortal - it was too strong. But I'm sure that by the time I become a Heavenly immortal I'll be able to unseal it. Maybe you can help me out a little then."

Both Liz and Giselle turned their gaze towards Lex, as if they were looking at some kind of freak.

Giselle narrowed her eyes as she realized something. Had his realm increased again?
