Chapter 1727: Fighting an Elder
Lex talked, his voice echoing over the castle, but none saw who he was talking to. Everyone searched the skies up above, but saw not a single soul. Even Kaemon could not find anyone - that is, until he took out a large pill from his spatial bangle and ate it.
His injured body did not heal. In fact, an even greater pressure fell on the body, but his vision changed slightly, and he saw a vague shadow of Kreel and his flying chariot.
"An Elder," Kaemon gasped in horror, his already exhausted mind falling into panic. There was no way he saw a solution to their current predicament, except to reach out to the Condottiere. But considering his state, conducting a ritual to communicate with him was impossible.
Yet just as he was about to panic about the presence of someone from an Elder race there, he saw Lex targeting him, and then he saw the Elder race members’ expression fade into nothingness, and Lex’s body vanishing.
What was going on? How could Lex fight against a member of one of the top 100 races in the universe? Especially after blocking such a powerful attack. It was impossible!
What Kaemon didn’t know was that Lex wasn’t facing one enemy, he was facing two.
Just as he had done with Jeziah, Lex entered Kreel’s mind, and let the Abaddon Inn loose. Fighting a mental battle against a clear expert in mental battles was obviously a bad move, but as it just happened, the Abaddon Inn was Lex’s most powerful and versatile technique, so it would have to do.
Clearly, Kreel found a way to resist the technique, but Lex had contingencies for that. What he didn’t have a contingency for was the white bead that suddenly appeared in his mind, and appeared on the Go board.
"I am so going to kill him," Lex said through gritted teeth, before rushing towards Kreel, unleashing Abaddon Inn in its full glory.
When the bead was placed on the board, Lex could feel his karma shifting, his destiny boiling, and could feel them beginning to influence his immediate future. Yet something unexpected happened.
