Chapter 117: Reunion Part 2

Lex was happy that unlike his past reality he had both Ella and Angela safe and near him for him to watch over, yet inevitably fate had a debt of blood to collect from him and in turn, killed his master and the orphan children he was watching over.

The slight smile he had was instantly wiped by the returning memory of all the blood and the heads of the children spiked onto the bed stands.

The scene haunted him, not because of the gruesomeness of the scene, as he had seen worse and was becoming used to the savage world that he lived in, but it was the memory of him not being able to protect those he cared about and saw as his salvation.

[You wanted my death and for unknown reasons were after my master, but your luck has run out and you have produced a demon that will return to reap your souls] he declared within his mind as they closed in on Angela's position.

"Ella lets jump off and show a bit of our prowess" suggested Lex.

"Why not" agreed Ella who jumped straight off the ice leopard that was travelling at speeds, that was much faster than cars from Lex's past reality. 

Ella seemed to float in the air as she flipped in the air and landed calmly onto the soft and fertile land.

Lex that was wrapped in white robes retracted his summoning of the ice leopard and he kicked off its back before it dissipated into thin air as he also flipped in mid-air before he landed onto the ground.

However, his landing compared to Ella's was rough and rustic, unlike her majestic and calm landing.

Lex looked over to Ella who also looked over to him and they both seemed to be in agreement as Lex's eyes were engulfed in darkness, while Ella's body had a thin layer of silver energy as her hair and eyes began to glow.

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Go" they both shouted in unison as they both seemed to disappear from where they stood.

The Earth Leader, who was a peak Heaven Mortal, and Angela, who was an early Heaven Mortal, with their enhanced vision saw Lex and Ella but were baffled and couldn't track them as they seemingly disappeared.

Lex was the first to appear and was half a kilometre closer to them, which the Earth Leader noticed first with his higher power and more sensitive senses compared to Angela.

However, compared to the girl with him, that appeared directly in front of Angela and the Earth Leader, the small amount of distance that Lex covered was seemingly nothing in comparison.

[That wasn't the Body Jolt Skill, that was teleportation] observed Lex in awe of Ella and as he looked at her in the distance, with no idea of what cultivation level she was at and what she was capable of.

Instead of feeling negatively about himself like he usually would, he felt that her strength was a testament to himself as he was the one he was pursuing and she had accepted him as her pursuer, showing that he must have potential equal or superior to that of herself.

Lex after multiple jolts through space also emerged before Angela and the Earth Leader who were shocked and in awe of Lex and Ella.

Looking at the girl that had unrivalled beauty and the figure in white robes, the Earth Leader couldn't help but be shocked by the three young talents that he saw before him, assuming that Lex was also young from his outward appearance and who he was with.

"Who are you people," he asked becoming slightly wary of the 3 youths who stood around him, especially the silver haired-girl.

"Calm down old man, you might have a heart attack" jested Lex, who still felt as though quite familiar with him from his past reality and knew he was a good person that wouldn't take offence.

The guilt, of through the system destroying his past reality when he died to continue living, had already been wiped by Lex.

He knew that the more guilt and regret he bore on himself, would only weigh him down and slow down his progress, instead, he decided he would focus on the present and not think about the past that haunts him and the future that was unknown.

"Angela want to .." tried to offer Lex before he was interrupted by the eager Angela.

"Yes, now" she replied, also itching to battle against him and compare her own power.

The cold aura piercing aura matched with the warm and all-encompassing aura of Angela clashed with the profound and dense aura around Lex that was mostly formed of killing and battle intent from all the hunting he had done in his 6 months of seclusion.

Angela waved her arm and formed ice that seemingly encapsulated around Lex and the competition between them seemed to be already over.

However, Lex was actually behind her with a blade to her neck, with his superior speed and manipulating space slightly with his Spacial Eye, as he had a fulfilled smile under his face covering.

In a mere matter of instants, the test in strength between them was over.

Angela, the ice queen, seemed unaffected and already expected Lex, that always seemed to be ahead of her, to beat her.

Pushing away his blade she had a determined glint within her eyes as the revelation that even after her training, she was still bellow Lex who she was trying to surpass, struck her.

Adding onto that she turned around to see the most beautiful girl with her silver hair who stood behind her that came with Lex that surprisingly made her slightly jealous, even though she had never thought about Lex in such a manner and had never had the chance to do so in her hectic life.

Angela was beginning to lose composure as, just like the Mental Void Method that gave Lex the Void Mentality that fortified his mind, the methods she cultivated made her have a cold and calm demeanour, but wasn't permanent or able to completely change her.

'Calm your mind child, you are my successor and the ice queen that is unaffected by anything' communicated the Jade Empress within Angela's mind, calming her down.

The four of them stood there quite awkwardly for a while as they all seemed to be deep in thought, apart from Ella, until Lex broke the silence.

"Old man, how many Voltiac Bases are there in the Earth Country," he asked directly.

Such an abrupt and forward question shocked the Earth Leader who was wondering what Lex need the information for, but still answered anyway.

"Just over 100 that are spread around snd throughout the country with the strongest nearing nearer to the centre of the country" stated the Earth Leader.

It was obvious from the Earth Leader's expression, that he knew about the looming threat of the Voltiac Guild that at any moment could start enormous wars and take over the continent from within the countries themselves.

Lex could see that there were some differences and similarities between the Earth Leader from his past reality and the one that stood before him.

With his analytical mind approximated that if everybody had such differences from his past, that he also noticed in Angela, the whole reality would take a completely different course.

Knowing that, he knew that he had to act soon, as he was beginning to feel that if he didn't take out the threat of the Voltiac Guild towards him and the continent soon, it would act first and wipe out everything in its path under the command of the ruthless Elder Mason.

"We will split up and take out the weaker ones around the Outer Earth country and you will get all your men to station themselves around the Outer Country to make sure no Voltac survives within the walls of the Earth Country" ordered Lex, deciding to make the Earth Country a safe zone for him to fend off against the Voltiac Guild from and take as his temporary home.

The consistent surprises to the Earth Leader had tipped him over the edge, as he stood there dazed by the orders that he just received from the robed figure that stood before him with two powerful and talented young girls.

Looking at Ella and Angela, wanting to see whether they had any problems with the orders that Lex gave, he was shocked to see they weren't fazed in the slightest.

"I know you are kind-hearted, but you should think about what will happen if you don't make the first move now" stated Lex to the Earth Leader who became a subordinate and child in front of Lex.

If it was one on one, the Earth Leader was almost completely confident he could take on Lex and Angela, unsure of Ella's true power, but against all three of them, he felt as though he had no chance.

Comparing himself to the three talents he felt discouraged, realising how much he was falling short compared to them not only in terms of strength but mental fortitude and stability, that allowed them to have the ruthlessness needed in the current climate.

"Yes," he agreed with the love he had for his country and its citizens driving him to do so.

"If we have agreed we will begin the extermination of the Voltiac Guild from this country in 3 days after the old man has prepared his man power" decided Lex.
