Eye System

As the most central mountain and the one with the best vantage point, it was the obvious target for Mason and his subordinates who dashed towards it.

"Angela and Ella be prepared to sneak attack when the opportunity presents itself" called out Lex as he prepared himself for battle.

Lex had become much more mature and logical about the way he approached battle, after experiencing what it felt to be a leader that was relied on by his subordinates, and had come to learn from his previous repeated mistake.

Lex was very hardheaded, stubborn and reckless, which were all the qualities that made him a bad team worker and hindered his progression in terms of status, wealth and society.

True Power required not only strength, but status and wealth and the easiest way to accomplish it, was with the support of a group or powerful people around him that could support him and lessen the burden on himself.

Which was why, despite the hate he held towards Mason and his eagerness to battle against him solo, he knew it was a smarter decision for him to use Angela and Ella who were with him and were powerful, to be able to take on Mason and any Voltacs that he bought with him.

Armadillo Armour

Dual Eye

Spacial Eye

Perceptive Eye

Lex's body was engulfed by an organic brown armour, that he had gained from a powerful, dark-brown giant armadillo beast in an underground cave.

As he did so, his left eye became enveloped in darkness and his right eye became completely clear, with his iris becoming a green target with a red centre as the pupil.

His choice of abilities was wise for his current circumstance, with the Spacial Eye, that he was learning to use, allowing him to manipulate space around him slightly and use the Body Jolt skill.

And the Perceptive Eye was an enormous advantage in group battles, giving him increased reflexive speed and perceptivity, which he required to face fast and numerous opponents.

Deciding only to use his armour Beast Power and not his Arctic Claws, Lex thought that using other weapons would be more advantageous and less draining on his energy, against Mason and the other powerful Voltacs he sensed with him.

"The white flash, how I have awaited this moment" announced Mason as he appeared before Lex through the wind and snow that was distorting his vision.

Mason stood with ten people behind him and had a monstrous appearance with his skin burned and peeling and his face being completely deformed.

Lex was struggling to suppress his anger as he attempted to suppress and use at as a drive, withdrawing two short blades from the inventory.

Body Jolt

"Die" roared Lex as he appeared before Mason, in the cold weather of the tallest mountain on the continent, as he sliced at his throat.

Mason was shocked by Lex's sudden emergence before him and the attack, and without much time to react put his arms up in defence as they were slashed deeply by Lex's dual blades.

Kicking off Mason, Lex latching onto his forwards momentum and advantage in terms of preparation launched attacks at Mason's subordinates.

Scarlet Flash

Scarlet Flash

Scarlet Flash

Rapidly slashing out with his blades, Lex flung three energy blades, formed with the Scarlet Flash Skill, at three of Mason's subordinates.

But they all managed to either move or defend against the skill, suffering minimal wounds.

As an assassination technique that relied merely on speed and the potential to instantly kill and opponent, the Scarlet Flash Skill was incapable of killing opponents, at a similar level to the user, who were prepared for the attack.

Body Jolt

Lex jolted his body backwards through space, keeping his eyes glued onto his opponents, separated from them again.

After testing Mason and his subordinates' ability, Lex was shocked to see that all of them were Heaven Mortals and Mason was a peak Heaven Mortal who had an evil aura around him and could be more powerful than that.

However, Lex also observed that Mason seemed to be in a weakened state, compared to the aura of cultivation that he emitted around him, which Lex knew he needed to exploit.

"Get ready to attack, and make sure not to kill him and allow me to savour the taste of his blood" ordered Mason as he burst out into evil laughter and glared at Lex.

With orders, the 10 subordinates all withdrew what seemed to be Beast Powers as they dashed towards Lex.

Almost every single one of them had armour Beast Powers and all of them had a weapon Beast Power of some sort, shocking Lex massively who hadn't expected Mason to be as knowledgeable and powerful as he was.

"Luckily they don't have any other types of Beast Powers that are much rarer" mumbled Lex gratefully, seeing that none of them had a summoning Beast Power that would have been tedious to deal with.

Preparing to clash with the 10 powerful levellers dashing towards him, Lex looked over to Mason to see that the wounds on his arms were visibly healing and he didn't seem to be fazed by them.

"Is this the gap between us in cultivation" mumbled Lex, who could tell that, unlike his subordinates, Mason was a true cultivator and had a thick evil aura around him.

As Lex continued to increase in cultivation, he was noticing that the gap between cultivation levels was rising as the energy and time that was required to cultivate was also increasing.

However, Lex didn't become disheartened or helpless as he believed in himself and his ability to overcome even the most insurmountable obstacles.

"I can do this" he bellowed in self-determination as he swiftly ducked under an attack from a Voltac that had reached him.

Lex was relying heavily on his Perceptive Eye that was the only way for Lex to be able to avoid attacks against a group of his 10 powerful and relentless attackers, that were not only powerful but also experienced.

Initiating a counter-attack, Lex while dodging the slash, swung a roundhouse kick at the Voltac's stomach, increasing the power of his Heaven Mortal Ranked Body with his thick Internal energy and launching the Voltac flying backwards crashing into the snow.

With swift and elegant footwork, Lex swivelled around and was greeted with two consecutive strikes from behind.

Lex managed to closely dodge both the attacks, with his perceptivity, speed and subconsciously manipulating the space around him to move backwards, as his armour was scrapped by their blades.

Dashing towards one of the two Voltacs that attacked him, Lex pounced onto him with great explosive power and as he fell over him, dug both his blades into the Voltac's chest, piercing through his armour.

However, in the instants he was above the Voltac and retracting his blades, Lex was slashed on his back by the other Voltac, as a deep gash was left on his armour.

In such a cold environment, everything was made more brittle and gained the property of cracking and shattering, as Lex felt his armour become massively damaged.

Body Jolt

Lex jolted himself away from the Voltacs surrounding around him, to avenge their fallen comrade, as he streamed large amounts of energy into his Beast Power armour to recover it.

Facing off against 9 powerful Voltacs, while being cautious towards Mason, who stood to the side watching, Lex was in a tricky situation.

He needed to split them up to be able to take on the Voltacs one on one, so he exploited his speed and began to increase the distance between himself and the Voltacs.

The squadron of Voltacs was the most powerful that Lex had ever seen and was surprised to see that the Voltac he had struck was still managing to stay alive.

It was formed of 4 tank-type fighters, 4 offensive-type fighters and 2 range-type fighters that began to fire arrows at Lex, who was dodging them.

Only managing to do so with his Perceptive Eye that was highlighting its trajectory and making it seem as though it was travelling slowly towards him.

[I need Angela and Ella's help in this battle] realised Lex as he began to pull on the energy within his Eye Energy Reserves, to recover the energy he had used to sustain his Beast Power and Eye Powers and use skills.

Angela, who had used a skill that encapsulated herself in ice and made her body enter a dormant state, was being alerted by the Jade Empress to awaken.

The Concealed Ice Skill that she had used, had made her body become the same temperature as the ice around her and become shrouded in ice, making it an incredible skill when in an arctic terrain and made it so that she had fused with the ice around her.

However, it would have been a useless skill in the current situation, if Angela didn't have the Jade Empress to alert her of when to reveal herself, as otherwise, she would have been unaware of what was occurring in her dormant state.

Lex standing opposite to the 9 Voltacs, watched closely as they formated themselves with the tanks, in front, each partnered with an offensive fighter, one of which was fatally injured, and had the two ranged fighters in the back.

"Now" called out Lex.
