Chapter 1740: Second form
"You’re really, really annoying, you know that?" Lex asked as he forced himself to stand up. Although he wanted to give Kaemon his privacy, in order to give him his privacy, he was forced to spread his awareness.
The first thing he saw was Kaemon, his entire hand grasping a chalice much too small for his actual hand. He was frozen still, as if locked in some kind of invisible or mental battle, and clearly wasn’t in the state of mind to defend himself against any attackers.
Lex admitted he was fairly impressed with Kaemon’s guts, that he actually touched the chalice. Lex was fairly certain that thing could just suck the soul right out of them.
"Did you think you could win from me, earthling? Did your momentary wins grant you a sense of security? Don’t you realize you can’t escape me, no matter how many times you defeat me?"
Lex turned back and looked at the Dark Knight with the most disgusting expression. He couldn’t care less about the knight’s increased aura and power, nor did he care about the threats he was making. Lex was just annoyed because he now had to deal with this stalker while he fought off the remains of a migraine, as well as endured the burden of resisting the chalice’s influence.
The Dark Knight, however, seemed to think that Lex was incensed at the timing of his approach. After all, he had arrived when Lex was the weakest.
"Come on, earthling. Prepare yourself. We shall spend an eternity here together, once you become one with Abaddon."
Lex groaned.
"Just shut up already," Lex said, and studied the Dark Knight more seriously. Over the years of fighting Z, both the Dark Knight and Z had grown stronger. The aura he showed now, however, was much stronger - almost as if deeper within Abaddon he unlocked more power. He was still within the realm of Earth Immortal, but if he faced Z now, Lex did not think Z could win.
"Being angsty won’t save you," the Dark Knight said, chuckling, almost as if he could taste victory on his lips. His form began to change as he fused with his mount, who was walking behind him. The Dark Knight started to grow larger, as if finally revealing his true form as a monster.
