Chapter 1242 Passing a threshold
If one were to see Lex, it would seem like he was extremely angry, yet that was far from the truth. Even as he beat Jeffrey up, Lex had a firm control over his anger, keeping it thoroughly suppressed. He was not here to vent his anger.
No, he was here to kill Damien, destroy Sanguis Pluvia and make anyone who harmed Moon pay dearly. For that, he needed absolute precision.
That was why, on a surface level, he felt various emotions. He felt the excitement of a new realm, the curiosity over what the universe had to offer, the feeling of getting revenge by beating Jeffrey. But deep down, Lex was in full control of his every action, making sure he never went too far, and never ruined the plan.
That was why, when each and every hit he landed on Jeffrey became stronger slowly and steadily, it was actually a deliberate thing. He wanted it to look like he was becoming more and more comfortable with the realm, making Jeffrey feel like death was creeping up on him.
"ENOUGH!" Jeffrey roared after Lex slapped him one more time, right across the face.
The wyvern took to the air and summoned hundreds of barrels, each of them giving Lex an ominous feeling. He was reminded of the extremely lethal poison that Jeffrey used back on Polebitvy.
Lex had learned that the poison was actually something called Jah'Hah liquid, sourced from a place called Jah'Hel bog realm. It was not just lethal to people, it was hazardous to the realm itself.
The danger Lex felt from these barrels, which too were made of Void wood like the very ones used to contain Jah'Hah liquid, was much more serious.
Meanwhile, the fight continued. By now, Lex's expression had warped, as if he were tired of playing games and wanted to kill Jeffrey. But he had to pause his pursuit, because the final lightning bolt of his third tribulation was about to fall, and the very same lightning beast was back.
Jeffrey, meanwhile, used the moments respite to run away faster, taking out more and more weapons and unleashing them blindly towards Lex. He did not think he could kill that nightmare. He just wanted to buy time.
Just as Lex was getting ready to face the lightning monster, he felt something. He felt Jeffrry's developing fear, his developing trauma, and he felt the Invincible Tyrants mask absorbing that fear, and becoming stronger.
A small smile crept up on his lips as he resisted Jeffrey's attacks while glaring at the lightning monster. If Jeffrey was afraid, then he was getting desperate. But it was not enough. Things were only just beginning.
Lex unleashed more of his strength, and this time did not wait for the lightning beast to gather its energy. His sword intent covering his sword, he flew through the air towards the black clouds, gathering all his strength, bearing his Domination in full and even subtly using some laws to strengthen him.
His tenet had not recovered from its exhaustion, but he could still use it a little. Except that Lex made one mistake.
In taking the lightning monster seriously, he used a little too much strength, causing a reaction in the laws around him.
Something in his mind clicked, and he realized that it was not just his Domination that made law manipulation easier, his sword intent did so too. Perhaps, there were other things as well which could make law manipulation easier... like the effects of his right eye!
Lex's sword strike cleaved through the black clouds. From all around the trial zone, the survivors who were huddling and hiding from the lightning and the volcanic eruptions felt the sharpness of his attack and looked towards Lex from a distance.
They felt like that attack... had surpassed some kind of barrier. Indeed, it had passed a threshold. It allowed Lex to gain enough new understanding about laws... to immediately trigger his level four lightning tribulation!
