Chapter 1192 Creatures of flame

After taking care of his problems and returning to the hotel lobby, Lex was sent to the next round. He had also taken this break period to look into how long exactly these rounds would last.

All of his plans were, more or less coming together, but there was a catch. The longer he took to execute his plan, the more variables that came in, which meant there was a greater chance of something going wrong.

In fact, Roland had already passed him certain news about bank Versalis which made the situation slightly complicated. He did not know the exact relationship between the Henali and the bank, but apparently the bank had sent someone over to mend the situation with the A.I.

Obviously that had nothing to do with Lex, but it had much to do with the Fuegan, who were closely connected to the very people he was targeting.

For now, this was not a bad thing, but the more time went by, the greater the chances that something could go amiss. So Lex felt the need to rush. But these things were not in his control. He needed to be calm when there was nothing he could do, but act decisively when he felt he could make a change.

This was especially when he found out that the Champions tourney would be at least ten years long, and the preliminary tournament was also expected to last a year.

As he was teleported to his next trial, Lex almost resigned himself to the fact that this would take some time.

That was fine. He would, in this time, help Moon build a connection to her planet and help her move to the Inn. The search for Liz and Belle would be slowed down, but maybe being streamed live across the realm would help them find him instead.

Lex cracked his neck and began to walk forward. He did not need to spread his spirit sense out to see that in the darkness, the abominations had already begun to rise. They hid in the shadows or bodies, and in corners and in pits and holes. They traveled through the wind, unseen and unheard, and attacked like assassins in the night.

They were formless and shapeless, yet they were absolutely lethal. Fear and horror were their strengths, and they had no weaknesses in this place. Or atleast, they did not until now.

Slowly, a powerful aura began to spread from Lex's body, attracting the attention of not only all the abominations, but all the contestants as well.

Everyone had been waiting for the first move. They wanted to see what the abominations could do. Since they would be here for months, they would first get a sense for the strength of their enemies, and then they would make their plans. Of course, if the others wanted to probe the abominations first, they would happily sit back and watch.

But Lex had no intentions of probing. His right eye glowed with a red light as he used his new eye technique. But this time he was not using his eye to search for things - instead he was using a unique combination of Glyphs and arrays to use his vision to control flames.

Then, he opened his mouth and let loose dragonfire. Thick and roiling flames or yellow and orange suddenly illuminated the darkness, revealing all the hidden abominations for a split second before they burned to ash.

The flames, under the control of his eye, began to take shape, and mythical creatures born of flames appeared before him. The aura his body gave off became stronger. Domination was no longer just the simple theft of Dragons Might. It had been fueled and elevated using his own convictions, and it carried a weight like no other.

Just like that, Lex started his massacre.
