"Now" called out Lex as he watched the Voltacs formate themselves seeing it as an opportunity to bring out his reinforcements.
Despite reducing the element of surprise, by calling out to Ella and Angela, Lex was unsure of whether he would be able to take on the Voltacs alone and still have the energy to take on Mason if they didn't come out to help him.
"Get ready" warned the watching Mason, who was glaring at Lex and watching his every move.
From the ice burst out a girl in a blue dress, like a torpedo, as a cold and all-consuming aura was emitted by her towards the Voltacs.
And from Lex's side emerged another girl, out of thin air, with slick and mesmerising silver hair that went perfectly with her enthralling silver eyes.
"Change of plan, we will have to fight together directly and have lost any advantage that we previously had" stated Lex directly.
"However, we will still kill them all and make sure that all the fallen innocents rest in peace" declared Lex, receiving a nod from Angela and Ella.
Switching weapons, Lex returned his daggers into the inventory and withdrew a spear.
Being proficient in many weapons and having access to many of them through the inventory from all the weapons he had stolen from Max Ford and salvaged after battles, Lex had many options of what weapon to use and wasn't limited to single fighting style.
"I will act as the tank and you two will provide support and deal as much damage without sustaining injuries. We are aiming for a quick battle with the Voltacs as not to waste time and or allow Mason to intervene before we take them out" ordered Lex as he walked towards the Voltacs who were also slowly approaching him.
The Voltac that Lex had fatally injured, with the climate eating away at the final strand of life force that he had left, could no longer stay alive, with the wounds he suffered, and collapsed into the snow, passing away.
It was now a 9 vs 3, with the 9 Voltacs also having Mason who was mysterious, powerful and had decided not to join the battle yet.
In an instant, they both sped up and dashed towards each other, as Lex with a wide sweep of his spear drove them all back.
Angela who was sliding on the ice below her feet, formed icicles within her hand that she flung at the Voltacs and as she got closer, and continued to radiate her bone-chilling aura that penetrated into the Voltacs body.
Meanwhile, Ella followed closely behind Lex and simply shot orbs of what seemed to energy at the Voltacs.
Lex was using the best set of spear techniques within the manual his master left behind, and gave him the speed and power of a dragon with all kinds of thrusts, sweeps and slashes which came along with a movement technique that matched the spear moves.
Lex's sweep hit three tank-fighter Voltacs that were clashing towards him with their weapons, and were all knocked back by his explosive power and arm strength as they were stuck by icicles and orbs of energy soon after.
With the support of Angela and Ella, Lex continued onwards, as he sped past the three tanks, by sliding between them on the snow, and as he jumped back up, thrust his spear at the head of a ranged fighter.
His powerful thrust pierced straight through the female archer's head, as blood splattered all over Lex's face, as he retracted his spear and launched himself into the air to get away.
Body Jolt
While in the air, Lex jolted himself beside Ella and Angela, who had engaged in close combat.
"Get away from them" roared Lex as he launched himself onto the ground, sending a shockwave around him that pushed back the Voltacs, Ella and Angela.
With his spear in hand and his forwards momentum, Lex continued to draw energy from his Eye Energy Reserves, as he continued to thrust his spear at rapid speeds at the Voltacs, hacking at their armours.
Lex's eyes flashed red as his rage continued to grow, and continue to turn into drive and killing intent.
Just as he was about to deal the finishing blow to a third Voltac, Lex felt the thrust of his spear reach an abrupt halt as he saw the grotesque hands of Mason latch onto the spear pole.
"You finally decided to join the battle," remarked Lex.
Lex's body and mind was in a higher active state, driven by a single desire.
To Kill.
"You really are a pain, but you are still weak compared to me and will become a meal for me" bellowed Mason who grabbed the two bodies of his subordinates, that Lex had killed.
Monstrously, Mason began to chew on their necks as their warm blood poured out into his mouth, that he continued to drink.
"Die" roared Lex as he charged towards Mason, seeing it as an opportunity to take him out while he was distracted.
"Fuck off and let me feed" shouted Mason as he emmited a pulse of evil energy around him launched Lex flying away.
"What power" mumbled Angela in awe,, while Ella was also surprised by Mason's power.
"This really will be an impossible battle, unless Lex has some sort of trump card" observed Ella.
Lex getting up from the snow he was launched into, was for the first time intimidated while facing an opponent.
Not only was his opponent more powerful than him in terms of cultivation, but was also had a monstrously powerful body and great experience.
"What the hell is he" wondered Lex as he dashed towards him.
"Stop" stated Ella as she appeared before him.
"Before you run in there, you need to know that Mason is a cultivator of the demonic arts. Which makes him not only powerful, but ruthless and unpredictable and if you cannot defeat him, we should escape immediately" advised Ella.
Hearing her words, Lex was shocked, but her words made sense to him.
"There is no escape now" called out a voice that walked towards them.
The Voltacs seeing Mason moved out of his way as Ella who couldn't move under the thick evil aura around Mason was launched away by a rapid and powerful kick from Mason that launched her flying off the mountain.
"Angela" screamed Lex in worry.
Lex was backed into a corner as the Voltacs began to circulate around the mountain peak.
"How about I tell you a weakness of mine, as a charitable donation" suggested Mason with a ridiculing expression.
"I am heavily injured by your master that has made it so that I am on the verge of death. But I am an immortal and can never die if I continue to consume the blood of levellers, cultivators, children, woman. Anything that can provide me energy will be consumed. And you will be my next meal" announced Mason as he burst out into evil laughter.
Ella looked over at Lex who was beginning to breathe heavily and his eyes continued to flash red at random intervals.
"Ella go and get Angela and get away from here" ordered Lex.
"But...", attempted to say Ella before being shut down by Lex.
"Get out of here immediately" he roared, knowing he wouldn't be able to control himself much longer.
"Okay, but you better not die" she agreed, believing in Lex, as she seemed to disappear.
[Now you bastard how about we make a deal] suggested Lex to the Eye Demon that he felt within his soul was gaining more control as he continued to rage and despair.
[Hahahahaha, you useless child. Still incapable of anything without me] ridiculed the Eye Demon.
[System as time works differently within the mindscape, in this case, would it be slower than reality] asked Lex.
{Ding, the host entering mindscape would give him additional time to converse and negotiate with the Eye Demon, however, the time difference is uncontrollable and you must be quick} stated the Eye System.
[Okay, take me to the Eye Prison] ordered Lex as he felt his consciousness being sucked out of his body and into another space.
"Hahahahaha, this kid has lost consciousness, he must be too scared, now I can finally consume you and make you pay for all the trouble you have caused me" ridiculed Mason as he strolled confidently towards Lex.
Meanwhile, Lex was within a dark damp room and stood opposite to a figure identical to himself in terms of appearance, but completely different in terms of demeanour and aura.
[Do speak, what does this deal entail] enquired the Eye Demon, curious to what Lex was willing to offer.
[I can give you something that you want, if you get me out of the situation I am in and wipe out the Voltacs along with Mason] offered Lex desperately, knowing that if he didn't do so he now, him, Angela, Ella and the entire continent would be massacred.
[Hmmm, okay that is a simple task, but there is a single condition that I have] stated the Eye Demon.
[Hurry, what is it] asked Lex hurriedly, knowing he didn't have time to waste.
