Chapter 127: n
"Now we will leave to look for Mason" announced Lex, who suddenly had aplete change in aura, as he became filled with rage and killing intent.
"Who is that and why do you have such hate for him," asked E simply and directly, unaffected by his sudden change in demeanour and aura.
Lex calming down, exined everything that he knew about Mason and what he had done to his master and the orphanage he was looking after, to E and Ang.
"Do you know where he is, there are so many Voltiac Bases throughout the continent and some that may even be hidden" asked Ang.
"Hmm, yes good question, I am unsure" answered Lex honestly as he sat down and seemed to enter a deep state of contemtion.
But in reality, Lex was turning to his hidden treasure, the Eye System.
[System what is the location of Mason] asked Lex within his mind.
{Ding, this information cannot be provided by the system to the host} stated the system.
Hearing the system''s reply Lex was slightly let down, but was still calm and didn''t continue to ask the system, knowing that it would only be a waste of time and effort, as the system seemed to be programmed and therefore couldn''t change its mind.
Thinking about another way for him to find out the location of Mason, that could be anywhere on the continent, he suddenly jumped up with an idea of how he could find out that information.
"Yes that is an issue, but with E around we won''t have that problem will we" he stated as he turned to E with a small smile.
"Me, how will I find this Mason that I have never seen" asked E pretending to be confused.
"He, stop pretending" scoffed Lex as he could tell she was obviously pretending.
He couldn''t read anything from her eyes or bodynguage and would havepletely believed her, if he didn''t know how profound and mysterious she was and what she was capable of.
"Well to be honest with you I probably could help you, but I won''t" stated E directly as she gave him a cheeky smile.
"I thought that might be the case, guess I will have to get Mason toe to me," remarked Lex as he shrugged.
"Let''s go" called out Lex as he dashed away without exining his n.
The youth in simple ck shirt and trousers dashed from building to building with great speed, followed by the ice queen and a mysterious hooded girl.
The n suddenly came to Lex as he asked E whether she could help, and was very simple.
His n would draw out his opponent and lead them to him without him having to go after them, which would not only give him time to prepare, but also allowed him to have the choice of terrain and he allow him toy a trap if before his opponents appeared.
After a few hours of consistent travelling at a rapid pace, they finally reached the outer wall of the Earth Country and after jumping over Lex finally stopped.
E followed closely behind and didn''t seem to be fatigued in the slightest, whereas Ang who was an Internal Cultivator and relying on her energy to reinforce and enhance her body, was tired after the constant travel.
"We will take a short break, then head up to the mountains" informed them, Lex, as he smirked.
"Why are you happy and why are we going to the mountains," asked Ang baffled by his ability to smile even after the gruesome and horrendous scenes they had witnessed in the Earth Country.
"And how are you still able to smile after what we witnessed" she continued.
"Why wouldn''t I be able to smile. Their deaths were unfair and will be avenged by me, but I didn''t cause their deaths and saved as many lives as I could. And my smile is because of my genuine happiness of the safety of you and E" refuted Lex directly.
Hearing him she was shocked and touched by his words, as her coldness continued to wear off and the warmness began to return.
"But that still doesn''t exin why we will be going to the mountains and how you will draw out Mason"mented E who was curious to what Lex''s n was and couldn''t figure it out.
"What, you couldn''t figure it," teased Lex with a gloating expression.
"Spit it out" she refuted as she began to pout.
"Okay, Okay, calm down" agreed Lex pretending to give in, but then he suddenly dashed away from her.
It was the first time that Lex had something over E and wanted to y around with her and annoy her while he had the upper hand, for a while.
As he did so, she seemed to disappear from her position and appear before Lex, as he changed direction again and continued to y cat and mouse with E, while Ang watched with an amused expression.
Within seconds, Lex felt a sudden pain on his head as he was struck by a gentle fist by E after she had finally caught him.
"You little rascal, tell us now" she ordered as she grabbed his shirt.
"Yes, you better tell us before you get a beating" joked Ang as she formed an icicle within her hand.
All of them burst out intoughter as they walked away from the Earth Country together and passed the farms heading towards the mountains.
"Well, my n is quite simple. I was once a Voltac and have a Voltac ID that they can use to track me, but I have blocked the link so it couldn''t be used to track me. So, after we reach the mountainous region, which is a terrain I am familiar with and will give Ang an advantage with the cold climate, I will make it so that they can track me with the ID.
Mason wants me dead and I want him dead, if all three of us work together and with the advantage of preparation and terrain we should be able to defeat him and afterwards end his entire organisation, before any more lives are lost" revealed Lex as they headed towards the mountainous region.
The n was so simple and direct and could be sessful, but it had one big assumption that the entire n was resting upon. The assumption that Lex, with the assistance of E and Ang, could defeat Mason and anybody he bought with him.
"What do you think are the chances in a direct battle with Mason," asked E.
"Hmm, well I am not even sure of Mason''s true power, but I am sure that I can defeat anybody if I push myself to my limits" he stated simply.
Both Ang and E were dumbfounded by his n that had many holes and contingencies, that risked them losing their lives.
Looking at Lex, he seemed to be calm and happy, and just as they wanted to deter him from the n, they suddenly stopped and decided against it.
Gazing into his eyes, that were burning with his drive and the desire to kill, they didn''t refute and believed in his ability to aplish impossible feats like he continued to do.
After walking for a while, giving them time to recover, from the slight fatigue of travelling quickly to the edge of the Earth Country, they finally decided to speed up.
"Ang, why don''t you use your ice leopard summon" suggested Lex as he ran beside Ang who was sliding on ice that she formed under her feet.
With Lex''s suggestion, she was reminded of the Beast Power that he gave her that she never had the chance to use.
Ang closed her eyes and pulled on the link, she felt with the ice leopard within her Beast Power Library, as she attempted a Beast Power summoning for the first time.
It wasn''t a difficult process, but was a new sensation for Ang, who felt arge amount of her energy be sucked away from her storages to her Beast Power Library, as she felt it rush out of her body.
The summoning felt like a long sensation for Ang, however, in reality, it was a matter of instants, as an ice leopard, identical to the one that Lex previously battled, appeared out of thin air.
It was identical in every way from an outside perspective, but Lex could sense the aura was much colder than the ice leopard that he had summoned when he had the Beast Power.
Even despite the ice leopard''s overall cultivation level being lower, because Ang was weaker then Lex, it still emitted an aura that felt more profound to Lex when it was his own summon.
Ang excitedly jumped onto the back of the ice leopard, as she rode around Lex and E, barking orders to the leopard that followed without thought.
Then after she had finished having her fun, she signalled for Lex and E to get on board with her.
The ice leopard galloped towards the mountainous region, leaving a trail of ice behind it, as three youths rode on its back and conversed between themselves about what they had been through over the 6 months that they had been separated.
All throughout E dodged any and all questions about what she had done for the past 6 months, leaving Lex to find out the truth for himself, like she always did.
After a few hours, with Ang pushing herself to her limits to keep the ice leopard summon activated, they finally reached the mountainous region as the ice leopard pounced up and climbed the mountains, that had an environment perfectly suited to it.
As they were reaching the peak of the mountain, Ang''s energy could no longer sustain the summon, as the ice leopard summon dissipated and theynded on the snow.
Climbing the rest of the way on foot, they all sat in therge cave, previously owned by the ice leopard that was residing within it, and began to recover their energy and rest before they began their n.
Within a day they were allpletely recovered and had adapted slightly to the cold environment, with their energy reinforcing their bodies and were finally prepared to set their n into motion.
