Chapter 1672: Flow
Lex frowned. Life was truly difficult when determining one’s strength was not so straightforward. Everyone present on the battlefield was an Earth Immortal - more or less. Yet, when compared to an average Earth Immortal, any one of them would be far superior.
Thus, in a way, they had already surpassed the threshold of power normally associated with Earth Immortals.
Now the problem was that he was facing successive enemies, each one with a power level surpassing the norms of their cultivation level, with each set of enemies being even stronger than the previous one.
Was there an upper ceiling for the amount of power one could achieve within a certain realm? Probably. But determining the median power level, as well as the general upper ceiling in terms of power a cultivation level could have, was not something Lex was interested in.
Instead, it would be great if he could figure out why the chimera were so strong, and what could be done about it.
"Tell everyone to change tactics. Instead of trying to kill the chimera, just block and hold them off. Once I manage to block off the portals, I can look into why they’re so hard to kill."
At a glance, Lex could tell that it wasn’t impossible to kill the chimera, not only for him, but for others as well. Heck, even Kaemon could do it.
The problem was that the price to kill even one chimera was too great, and would likely mean that the warrior would be bedridden for days or weeks. The cost to benefit ratio was completely askew.
Even though the chimera were learning and evolving, the battle was very much under control. Most of the griffin were already dead, and the wraiths, despite their great numbers, posed only a limited amount of threat.
Lex also didn’t feel any significant problem from his barrier that was blocking the portals, so the chance of them breaking open wasn’t high.
Lex tried another array using those characters, only to fail again. Others had tried simpler methods of trying to close the portals, such as destroying them. The fact that Lex was still trying his array method was a clear testament to the outcome of those attempts.
