Eye System

Chapter 115: Returning

It took Lex an entire day of cultivation to recover and after recovering he had an excited expression, looking forwards to returning to civilisation and also seeing Angela who he hadn't seen in a long time.

{Ding, the host has many rewards to open that you haven't opened over the past 6 months and the system didn't disrupt the host to inform the host from before} the system informed him.

[Okay I will open my rewards while I ride to the Earth Country] decided Lex.

Ice Leopard Summon

A large ice leopard identical to the one that Lex previously killed appeared out of thin air as Lex felt a heavy burden on his energy to form such a powerful beast.

The Ice Leopard he formed was a mid level Sky Mortal because it was the most that Lex's energy could currently form and sustain.

Lex felt that he could only form it for a few hours before his energy storages would deplete and didn't want to waste any more time.

Jumping onto the back of the beast, Lex rode it like a horse.

"Take me to Earth Country" he ordered the Ice Leopard as he held tightly onto its fur.

Even saying that earth was a country Lex felt really weird, but he had adapted to the new reality he was in and was beginning to notice that it was much different from his past and he had no idea what the future held.

"If this reality is so different, maybe Ella really is on this continent" wondered Lex who was still longing to be with Ella.

As soon as he thought so he suddenly felt a weird interference in the space around him and with his close affinity with space, he was immediately alerted.

"Stop and get ready for battle" he ordered his summon as he jumped off its back.

Spacial Eye

Lex's eyes were engulfed by the darkness as his vision fused with that of the space around him and he felt a closer link to space itself.

With his Spacial Eye activated Lex could see in the distance a hole was being torn in space as someone seemed to be trying to break through.

Lex was instantly nervous about what being could possibly rip through space and got prepared for battle.

Armadillo Armour

Arctic Claws

Lex was coated with his organic armour as claws pierced out of his knuckles and through his skin as he felt his heart beating rapidly, anxious of what kind of monster was coming that was capable of ripping through space itself.

Suddenly his heart dropped as he saw the figure land onto the snow and walk towards him.

Both looked eye to eye and Lex was feeling his Void Mentaility beginning to shatter being bombarded by his surge of emotions.

In a flash, both of them disappeared from their positions and appeared in front of each other.

"Ella", "Lex" they both screamed in unison as they both appeared in front of each other and shared a hug, reuniting with each other.

After a few seconds, Ella looked up at Lex who also looked at her and then they realised that they were moving too quickly and instantly separated as Ella blushed and Lex scratched his head, both embarrassed.

Lex retracted all the 3 Beast Powers and the Spacial Eye that he had activated that were draining on his energy massively as he stood there awkawardly.

The mesmerising girl that he had, had his eyes on ever since he had seen her, had returned to him but Lex thought it was too good to be true and was very confused.

"How the hell did you get here and shouldn't you not know me in this reality," asked Lex breaking the awkward silence, but also extremely baffled by what was going on.

"Well I have my own abilities and after a certain idiot somehow managed to destroy an entire reality," said Ella. stopping to give him a jokingly angry look as her beautiful silver hair fluttered in the air.

Lex instantly had a shameful expression as he remembered his plentiful past mistakes but seeing her chuckle cutely he couldn't help but also laugh off the regrets from his past.

"When the reality was crashing, I sensed something that seemed to be somehow breaking out of space and I hooked onto the trace that I was chasing for an eternity until I finally manage to rip through space that was weakened after there was some sort of large explosion" she explained.

"What did you do to be able to destroy an entire reality and how are we in this reality," she asked after completing her explanation.

Lex was unsure how to answer, should he saw he died and the system dragged him out of the reality and formed another reality for him to enter.

[Wouldn't that mean that there are now two realities in this reality] thought Lex.

{Ding, the universe will keep its balance and would have sensed the presence of Ella and she in the same way as the host did has now replaced the Ella in this reality} the system reassured.

Calming down, he looked to see Ella still had a questioning look.

He decided to be as honest with her as he could without revealing things he knew he couldn't reveal.

"I was attempting to break out of the sub-dimension and in the process accidentally forcefully broke through space and when I woke up I was mysteriously in this reality" he stated.

He wasn't telling the complete truth but with his Void Mentality and the partial truth in what he said, it seemed as though he was being completely honest.

"Well, its for the best, now that you have left behind that past, but I still have to be strong in this reality as there should still be most of the troubles I faced in my past reality" muttered Ella pondering on what she had left behind to follow after Lex blindly and what would still be the same.

Ella also wasn't completely honest and didn't tell Lex that she was only able to follow him because she left her mark on him to be able to have a feeling of his rough location at all times and also hadn't told him any of her abilities and her real past.

"We should go now, I was going to go and meet Angela after all this time" suggested Lex, wanting to get rid of the topic of conversation.

"Yes let's go" she replied with a cheeky smile.

"No, no, no, it's not what you think" refuted Lex, who assumed she might be thinking that he might like Angela.

"What's not what I think," she asked gaining ignorance as she teased him.

Lex just laughed it off knowing that their feeling and understanding was mutual and was overjoyed by the fact that she was willing to follow him without thought after she sensed what had occurred and didn't look too much into how she did so.

However, he couldn't help but notice she knew that there were infinite realities and that she somehow managed to hold onto a slight trace of his soul to follow him into a different reality as the one he left behind was destroyed.

"Ella I will not let you following me be in vain and will make sure that your life is a million times better in this reality than it would have been if you stayed where you were" he declared seriously.

She just gave him a wide smile as she was also happy to finally be back with Lex and sensing his power, she knew his potential was incredible and could tell he still hadn't used his true potential.

Lex's previously nervous state he was in when he felt something rip through space, changed into one of sheer joy as he reunited with Ella.

Their reunion despite being abrupt and unexpected they both felt a void in their hearts filled when they were together as they awkwardly stood on the mountain together.

"You must be cold, here put this own" offered Lex who placed a thick coat over her shoulders that he withdrew from the inventory.

"You really are weird and have so many weird abilities," noticed Ella who was unsure how many abilities Lex had and whether he still had more to show.

Lex summoned his Ice leopard that Ella jumped onto and they both grabbed onto its fur as it pounced off the mountain and rushed towards the Earth country under Lex's instruction.

Lex was slightly nervous around Ella but with the emptiness of his mind was able to stay calm as they both faced each other while riding on the large leopard beast and Lex began to fill her in on what she had missed and the differences between their realities.

After telling her almost everything that occurred she didn't seem to be shocked or overwhelmed by anything that Lex told her and made him wonder what really her origin was and how high her talent and potential really was.

Meanwhile, at the central hall of the council in Earth Country, the earth leader and those of the upper echelon under him were looking at Angela, who seemed to know what was going on, for answers.

"A friend of mine I haven't seen in a while should be returning soon" stated Angela coldly, keeping her reputation as the ice queen valid, but deep down she was extremely excited to see Lex and how far he had come after his seclusive retreat.

"Then we should all welcome a friend of yours with open arms and should all go to meet him" suggested the Earth leader who saw it as another opportunity to make another powerful ally.

"Do as you please, but I will be leaving right now to go and greet him at the western gates" stated Angela as ice formed under her feet and she began to glide away.

"The rest of you should stay and keep the country afloat, but I will personally go to meet our guest" decided the Earth Leader who followed after Angela quite easily and although showing respect to her because of his pious nature, he was still much stronger than her.

Little did they know that not only Lex was returning but he was bringing a silver-haired angel along with him.
