Chapter 1258 It's time

Even though Lex did not need to breathe to live ever since he became an immortal, and could literally live the rest of his life without taking another breath, he felt a mild sense of suffocation as his lungs began to change.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lex activated his right eye, imprinting the very Glyphs and arrays which gave birth to Golden Inferno into the walls of his lungs. His lungs, which were growing strong enough to cause gales and hurricanes, suddenly started to morph in a different direction.

The evolution which was started from his physique, guided in a certain direction by Lex himself, was taken a step further by his cultivation technique. Since Lex's growth using the technique was dependent on his own actions and it saw an opportunity to elevate him based on his own actions, it immediately began to adapt his body.

But then as his lungs adapted to generate and tolerate the flames of Golden Inferno, the rest of his body adapted to support the ability.

His stomach gained the ability to digest anything and everything, becoming a way in which he could absorb energy from any material in case he needed it.

Lex's gallbladder, his spleen, his intestines, his pancreas, everything evolved, shedding some of its older functions and gaining new ones to suit his new status as an immortal.

The minutes flowed by as Lex's condition slowly went towards the peak, a state he was reaching for the first time in his immortal state.

Pel Jr. who had inhabited the dragon body for years already, for the first time, felt a change within it. Over the past few years, it had steadily been growing stronger, nourished by the energies of the realm.

To a small extent, that nourished Pel Jr. as well, but for the most part it just oppressed the soul further. But now, for the first time, it sensed movement in the opposite direction. The energy and strength within the dragon's body was finally heading towards weakening, even if it was only barely comprehensible.

The more it felt how panicked Jeffrey was, the more it grinned. The wyvern had long since gone through numerous cleansing techniques, ridding itself of any tracking methods. But no matter what it did, it felt like Lex was always watching him. He could feel Lex's gaze on his own neck, and a chill traveled down his spine.

Something was wrong. Something was very wrong, which it tried to explain to its superiors, but none took him seriously.

Finally, feeling desperate, he reached out to Her majesty! He received approval for an audience, but before he could be taken to her, he was brought to a secure facility where the personal guards of Her majesty checked up on him.

"I'm telling you, I've already gone through countless precautions. No one is track-"

Jeffrey's voice was caught in his throat when it noticed a familiar, green aura suddenly emerge from his body.

The guards suddenly released a deep killing intent as they moved towards Jeffrey to detain him. Meanwhile, deep within Jeffrey's heart, the Heart demon suddenly felt threatened. Those guards, whoever they were, might be able to find him. Unwilling to wait any longer, he sent the final signal to Lilith.

Some time later, Lex, who was still meditating atop the dragon, heard Mary's familiar voice.

"Lex, it's time," she said.

Lex ended his meditation, and looked up at Mary who was dressed in the familiar style of suit worn by the Midnight battalion.

"Finally."
