Chapter 125: Massacre
Chapter 125: Massacre
The skirmish within the Earth Country lasted another month, where throughout the white flash had been seen dashing around the country and massacring any Voltacs he had seen, while leading innocents and citizens towards the centre of the country.
The White Flash's name not only resounded throughout the Earth Country but also within the Voltiac Guild that had placed an enormous bounty on his head as one of their biggest enemies.
Mason, busy with his attempt to take over the country, hadn't had the chance to check up on the attempt on the Earth Country, that he saw as an easy victory.
If he heard about the Earth Country managing to gain the advantage and the existence of the White Flash, Mason would instantly become infuriated and recognise the name as one that was almost identical to that of the Red Flash.
Lex had battled alone without the weakening of his clones and the liability of Ashura, that was risky for Lex to use without having complete control over it, and had killed so many Voltacs that he had lost count.
With the blood of tens of thousands on his hands, Lex didn't feel any guilt in the slightest and was inversely proud that he had massacred so many scummy revellers that had no morals or ideals.
The Voltacs would stoop so low as to harass and kill innocents that had no involvement in the power struggle between the Voltiac Guild and the countries, which made Lex who may have spared some of them, kill them unsparingly and without mercy.
Although some among the Voltacs may not have been among those and may have been battling under the orders of the Guild they had joined, Lex didn't have the time or mercy to care about such things and continued to slaughter unsparingly.
The Earth Country's soldiers had all rallied around the centre and over the month, continued to take over more ground until taking back control of the most of country and saving as many citizens as they could.
The streets were died red, with the population of the country that was previously in the hundreds of millions in this reality, dwindled to that of a few dozen million survivors.
Throughout the entire country, there was a thick stench of blood and corpses that was sickening, along with the gruesome bodies that were everywhere.
It was the first war-like battle that Lex had been in and after seeing the horrors that the Voltiac Guild had caused had only continued to grow more ruthless and furious.
The senseless slaughter had taken a toll on the entire country that was at the point of collapse.
Lex in the heat of the final battle, suddenly became infuriated after noticing somebody that he recognised, attempting to escape from the country.
He instantly without hesitation, dashed after him leaving the final battle to the Earth Leader, Ella and Angela who he knew were capable of winning without him.
"Jaydan Wilkes is attempting to escape in the final standoff. I will go deal with him" Lex called out as he pursued the carriage.
Rushing away was a small group of wealthy levellers that all jumped into a carriage, as they attempted to escape during the final battle that was taking place near the edge of the country between the survivors of both the Voltiac Guild and the country.
"Jaydan you traitorous bastard that turned your back on your country and the Earth Leader who took you in as his disciple. You scum will be dealt your death" roared Lex as he followed after them.
Lex's actions baffled the Earth Leader and Angela as his anger seemed to be unnecessary as there weren't any grudges between them that were known to them, however, Ella had a soft smile as she knew the rage Lex was holding was mostly because of the past reality, where Jaydan had not only mistreated him but was also a big reason why Ella had to leave.
"He has his own reasons, we should wrap up this final battle quickly so we can quickly attempt to salvage as much as we can from this country, in preparation for the future" stated Ella interrupting the thoughts of Angela and the Earth Leader.
"Yes," they both agreed as they turned over to the hundreds of Voltacs who had grouped together for one final battle.
"Attack" bellowed the Earth Leader as he charged towards the Voltacs followed by his roaring surviving soldiers who saw victory within their grasp after the arduous month-long war.
All kinds of attacks and elements were flung around as even more blood was spilt as both sides continuously attacked each other, both knowing that the outcome of the entire war rested on the result of this single and final battle.
However, one side clearly had the advantage with the Earth Leader, who was unrivalled in his country, the ice queen who was mysterious, powerful and was wiping out her enemies with her ice and the black-robed female who could appear and disappear as she pleased as she sliced apart those that approached her, nonchalantly.
Meanwhile, Lex was speedily chasing after a carriage led by 4 white horse beasts that were rapidly galloping away, while Jaydan who was behind the reins, was hurriedly whipping the backs of the beasts to urge them to speed up.
Lex was slowly gaining on them, with his incredible speed that was due to not only his Heaven Mortal body but his Internal Energy that was at the same rank, making him similar or superior to the beasts leading the carriage.
"Throw some of the valuables off" screamed Jaydan worriedly, seeing Lex gaining on them.
The White Flash that shook the country and turned the tide of the entire battle, to one where the Voltiac Guild became disadvantaged in the attempt to take over the Earth Country, in Jaydan's eyes was the devil as he frantically began to whip the beasts.
The few family members, from the Wilkes family, that Jaydan had managed to sneak away with him, were desperately flinging all kinds of gold, jewels, spirit coins and valuables from the back of the carriage to reduce the weight in an attempt to get away from Lex.
But to their surprise, it all disappeared as soon as Lex laid his eyes on it, as Lex placed all the valuables within the inventory.
Spacial Eye
As Lex's eyes were engulfed in darkness and his eyes fused with that of the Spacial Element around him, he seemed to disappear from his position and on the carriage, they felt a sudden thud on the roof.
Body Jolt
Hearing the thud above them, the few within the carriage couldn't help but scream in fear.
Lex simply ripped off the wooden roof of the carriage with his bare hands, revealing the inside of the carriage that was filled with treasures and 4 people, with Jaydan at the reins controlling the carriage.
"Time for your death. Any last words" stated Lex with an evil smile, filled with insatiable killing intent.
Despair struck deep into their souls as the hooded god of death landed inside their carriage.
They all froze in fear as Lex simply walked closer towards them from within the carriage as they stumbled backwards and fell off the carriage, while Jaydan also jumped off the carriage, in the hopes of escaping from Lex who would stay on the carriage being led with the horses.
Lex couldn't help but chuckle at their stupidity as he placed all the treasures within the carriage into his inventory and jumped off the fast-moving carriage calmly and landed softly onto the ground.
Unlike his targets, who suffered deep scrapes and scratches all over their body after their clumsy and hard falls onto the ground after jumping and falling off the fast-moving carriage.
Forming a blade within his hand, Lex slowly walked towards the 5 traitorous scums who were attempting to run away from the hooded figure who was walking after them.
Body Jolt
Lex who was walking towards them, suddenly seemed to disappear then appear directly behind them, after moving his body forwards through space.
With rapid slashes of the blade, he formed within his hand, 4 blades formed of energy were sent flying and slicing apart the 4 companions with Jaydan.
Scarlet Flash
In an instant, all of them, barring Jaydan, were cut in half by Lex's energy blades that he released with his Scarlet Flash Skill.
"Jaydan you are a sinner and don't deserve to live" declared Lex as he walked towards Jaydan who had stumbled onto the ground and was scrambling to crawl away.
"Please, mercy" wailed Jaydan as death continued to approach him slowly.
Lex felt satisfied with the despair he had caused Jaydan as he stared deep into his soul and could read Jaydan's regret, fear, despair and helplessness.
It was the second time that Lex had gotten his revenge from his past reality, but the taste of revenge is always sweet.
"Now for you to feel pain" stated Lex as he swiftly slashed out with his blade.
Turning around and walking away, Lex left a screaming figure that had no limbs wailing in pain, as he walked away.
Death was inevitable for Jaydan who was in excruciating pain and was helpless as he continued to scream at the top of his lungs and curse at the White Flash who walked away uncaringly.
"Time to finish this dastardly battle"
