Chapter 57: Heist
Chapter 57: Heist
Getting up he takes a deep breath to calm his mind and body and was now prepared to take the final set of weapons which he could see were the most valuable and had traps and other mechanisms to protect them.
Preparing his spacial eye and circulating his energy as fast as he could, he places all the pills he had within his inventory, which he received from the beginner packet, and was busting with energy.
The energy for Lex's current body was too overwhelming, and he was only able to stay conscious and control it due to his previous experience and strong will.
Surging all the energy into his eyes, he uses his mental power along with the system and his spacial eye to swallow the items into his own personal space. There seemed to be one of every type of weapon that was better quality over everything else, which Lex coveted feeling their aura from a distance.
As the sword, daggers, throwing knives set, bow and arrows and the white robes enter Lex's space, instantly sirens begin to wail inside and outside of the armoury.
They were so loud that Lex couldn't think and his ears were bleeding due to being overwhelmed with sound. As this occurred, he was losing focus, causing him to lose control of the abundant amount of energy that was bursting through his body.
"Shit" he exclaims as the veins through his body bulge almost to the point of exploding due to the overload in energy.
Blocking out everything overwhelming his senses around him, Lex could feel an incredibly powerful aura rushing towards him and knew that if he was caught, he would die.
"I have only just begun my journey in this life so I cannot die now," he roars in excruciating pain as he felt his body overloading.
He knew that within seconds the enormous Max Ford would charge furiously into his armoury and annihilate him.
With all the energy surging within his body to his eyes, he distorts the space as much as he could and jumps headfirst through the outside wall, leaving the large armoury.
Collapsing onto the ground outside the store, Lex due to straining himself to distort space and place everything within the armoury which had over-drafted on both his mental power and energy.
This made his body become unstable and he lost consciousness outside the armoury.
"Who dares to steal my greatest creation" roars a 3-metre-tall muscular man, who as he ran down the street caused the whole area to shake.
People living in the area looked out of their windows, angry that they were awoken from their sleep, but seeing it was Max Ford they didn't dare to say anything and just watched what was going on.
Seeing a small child with long white hair and ripped dirty clothes sleeping outside his store, in a fit of rage he kicks him again, launching him across the street.
The unconscious Lex didn't feel anything, but within his mindscape, which he has due to integrating with the system, he was alerted of the damage to his body, but just had a smile knowing what he had taken from the arrogant blacksmith.
Placing his palm onto the door, the armoury opens and lights up for him. The entire armoury was empty, not even a single blade left in sight.
"Who the fuck stole my weapons" he exclaimed in rage.
His eyes were bloodshot in fury but had no idea of who could enter the armoury without breaking the outside and make all his weapons disappear and didn't suspect the impoverished homeless kid with white hair.
Rushing around the area like a headless chicken, he had lost all common sense after losing the creations he had spent his whole life making. The robe itself was priceless and were coveted by all royal families after they saw it, but he couldn't bear to part with it and no one dared to steal from Max Ford.
The whole surrounding area was awakened in the middle of the night by the crazy screaming giant. Angela who was still a nurse in the academy who had lied about her identity, which was nearby, had heard the commotion and came out to see what was going on.
Walking around the corner of the academy where the awakening ceremony took place, she saw the injured and unconscious Lex lying there on the ground.
"Lex" she exclaims in surprise seeing him on the floor.
Despite her usual sad and distant expression, with her saint power in a world where healing powers are rare, she felt that she had the obligation to help people, especially people in such a situation like Lex.
With her LVL being much higher than Lex due to the gap in age she easily lifts the skinny Lex in her arms and although they were similar in terms of age and height, Lex's body was still malnourished and very light.
Rushing him back to the academy infirmary despite knowing that she wasn't allowed to have people who weren't students there and places him on an infirmary bed.
Placing both her palms out onto Lex she streams abundant amounts of warm, saint healing energy and vitality into Lex's body which streams throughout his body which was boosting his cells recovery speed.
Angela was still at a low LVL and had only just begun her levelling and cultivation journey, but was pushing herself to her limits to save the poor child in front of her.
The look in his eyes that she saw reminded her of herself. One of extreme loneliness and despair, but seeing him today, despite his injured state he had a smile on his unconscious body, and she was curious and hoping to be able to be the same.
After pouring most of her energy into Lex's body she was drenched in sweat and her clothes were tight on her voluptuous figure.
As soon as Lex had mostly recovered and awakened, he suddenly jumps up and charges his head forth, but felt his face land in between two large soft pillows.
Opening his eyes, he realises what had just occurred.
[Fate works in mysterious ways] he thought with a wry awkward smile.
