Chapter 1239 Trying things out


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


    But after taking a nce at the lightning clouds, Lex turned his attention back to the dragon. He could not be bothered by this lightning. It waspletely incapable of harming him, and even in the situation where it might harm him, oveing the tribtion 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 manys did you guys set my bounty as? Was it 32s? 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 sted Lex and broke the ground, while even more chaos was stimted 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 contemtion.


    Lex shrugged, and turned back to the Wyvern in the distance. So far, it had put up a lot less resistance than Lex expected.


    From what he had gathered, Sanguis Pluvia were nning 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.


    He determined that it was not a threat, or some kind of plot or ploy by Jeffrey, so he ignored it for now.


    One moment he was far away, the next he was right in front of the Wyvern with burning eyes.


    "I wonder if you can grow back your head after I cut it off now," Lex said as he raised his hand to grab the Wyvern.


    But his hand went through the Wyverns body, as though it was an illusion.


    "Young man, do not get so cocky. You have just stepped into the world of immortals, whereas I have been a part of it for a long time. You will regret ever crossing me."


    The Wyvern began its tirade of insults but Lex tuned it out. Instead, he focused on how interesting the projection was.


    When he looked at it as a mortal, he was an image of whoever was controlling the projection. When he looked at it as an immortal, he saw possibilities.


    A bolt of lightning struck Lex but he barely felt it as his gaze focused in on the projection as he began his second attempt at touchingws.


    From what he hade to understand, most immortals, when starting out, focus solely on onew and improve their understanding of it, regardless of whether they had one t or many.


    So in any instance, when they wanted to maniptews, they would always just affect that onew that they understood deeply. Supposedly, even through that they could achieve amazing results.


    Lex was nowhere near considering such things. He had just entered the realm, and was still understanding how things worked, so he didn''t mind trying to affect multiplews at once.


    Strangely, he felt thews resist him this time. Intuitively he understood thatst 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 influencedws 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. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    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?
