Eye System

Chapter 258: Rapid Recovery

[That is one hell of an attack. I will call that the Destructive Compressed Flame Balls] thought Lex to himself as he dashed away as fast as he could.

He was disappointed to find that all the treasures, items and valuables that the pirates had on them had been destroyed or were no longer usable, but he didn't have time to waste and quickly bolted away.

It was too risky and dangerous to underestimate cultivators on the continent he was on and Lex would no longer have the element of surprise against them, so needed to be more careful.

He was by no means giving up on eliminating the Blood Sword Group, but he knew his limits and it was best to go and recover in a hidden place before seeking them out again for another fight.

Facing their master who was a Mortal King would be tough, so it would be best to leave him until last and with all the resources that he had stolen and gathered, he would be able to quickly recover, then begin eliminating those within the Blood Sword Group.

Once he had taken down a substantial amount of them, he was sure that the Master of the Blood Sword Group would eventually snap and seek him out.

That meant that he always needed to be prepared for facing him and would need to make sure that he knew the area so that he could always escape if he needed to.

Just like he expected, the Master of the Blood Sword Group was enraged and sent out hundreds of Golden Mortals to subdue Lex and search for him.

He was already on edge after seeing so many of his subordinates be killed, but then suddenly, he lost so many capable subordinates in one go and also felt and sensed the ground beneath him shake slightly.

Such a powerful attack couldn't be pulled off by any ordinary peak Golden Mortal and even early Mortal Kings wouldn't be able to pull off such power.

That merely made him want to acquire Lex more and to him, Lex was another tool that once he captured him, could sharpen him to become the powerful tool he needed to begin taking over other unoccupied regions.

To the large powers on the continent, they were recognised, but still only seen as a criminal group that they were unbothered about and had no reason to respect.

That enraged him, and he had gathered large amounts of power and resources, along with having a firm hold of his region, but he still wanted more and Lex could be the spark that he had been waiting for.

However, things were not turning out how he wanted and he had already lost around 150 Golden Mortal Cultivators to Lex, which are hard to come by and nurture, while he had also lost quite a lot of resources from what Lex had stolen off the ships and his subordinates.

Despite all of that, from what had been said and seen of Lex, all the losses were still worth it as long as he got his hands on Lex and managed to get him as a subordinate.

With an Eye Master under him, people would have no choice but to genuinely respect him and revere him, not out of fear like they currently were.

He sought recognition and power.

His ambitions knew no bounds.

But Lex was about to crush him and he was the type of person that Lex hated the most. Those that couldn't enjoy their lives and freedom through adventure and seeking opportunities in just ways, not by harassing innocents.

All is fair for the strong, but if Lex was stronger than them, then it was only right that he did to them what they did to many others.

Using some pills and beast cores from the gigantic pile he had within his inventory, Lex quickly recovered in his Portable Sub-Dimension.

Before entering his Portable Sub-Dimension, he made sure to get far away from where he had taken down all of those so that when he returned, he wouldn't be surrounded by enemies.

As soon as he appeared, Angela and Ella were shocked to see him fatigued and drenched in blood, while his hands and arms were also severely scorched.

He had used too much of the Hell Blaze Flame's power, which his body couldn't completely handle, but he used it only to the point that his body was harmed temporarily, and knew that if he went any further, he may have permanently damaged his arms.

They were worried about him, and Angela quickly began healing him, which helped greatly with his recovery alongside the pills he used.

Since they had been cultivating and relaxing in the nice and well-built environment of the Portable Sub-Dimension, they were unsure what exactly had been happening and offered Lex their help, not wanting him to take on all the burden alone.

He smiled and reassured them, "Do not worry. I will handle everything and I come bearing gifts,"

After saying that, a large pile of pills, beast cores and all sorts of other treasures and valuables appeared before them and instantly, all the fox beasts began to gather around, drawn by the large amount of energy that suddenly appeared.

Obviously, they didn't dare to touch anything without Lex's permission but were intrigued as to what it was.

It was most of what Lex had managed to gather and he couldn't be bothered to organise it within his inventory and had no need for that much stuff, so it was best to leave it for his companions and the fox beasts to benefit from.

"Angela and Ella. Could you organise it for me please and split it into what can be consumed and what can't? The stuff that isn't useful can just be put to one side and we can just dispose of it, or give it to the fox beasts to play around with," he requested.

"Sure, but what are you going to do with this much stuff?" asked Angela who was greatly shocked, while Ella was slightly surprised, but not as much as Angela.
