The Innkeeper

Chapter 1262 Mental Breakdown



Chapter 1262  Mental Breakdown

When Lex teleported onto the planet where Jeffrey was, he was not the only one who was making a move. Countless forces had already begun to act. The war had begun, his targets just didn’t know it yet.

Involving a Dao Lord would be dangerous as it would attract attention. Fortunately, he knew plenty of Celestial Immortals as well.

“Are you sure we can’t follow you?” asked Fahad, the Celestial Immortal Henali.

“Not yet. Wait for my signal,” said Lex, accepting the immortal’s enchantments onto his body. It would take another Celestial immortal, and a strong one, to discover Lex. This was the absolute minimum precaution he had to take, since he didn’t know what he would be facing.

As soon as Lex teleported onto the planet, he hid himself, and waited. His arrival on the planet went undetected, since everything about him was hidden.

Yet he saw two immortals acting against Jeffrey, which wasn’t good. Jeffrey was still integral to their plans, so Lex purposefully revealed an illusion of himself for the others to discover. While the two Heavenly Immortals were distracted, he used his stealth to kidnap Jeffrey. At the same time, he began to search Jeffrey’s memories to see if this was some kind of trap, but discovered nothing useful.

Now Lex needed to delay long enough for the Inn to connect to this planet, since he had already initiated the process. Hopefully, the dragons would also trace Jeffrey till here, since the green aura was apparently still on him. In that sense, delaying was better, so Lex began wasting time.

He even conjured the illusion of a fake devil to distract everyone. Without Fahad’s enchantments this would be impossible, since he could not fool two Heavenly immortals, but with them it was a piece of cake.

A few minutes of banter later, the Inn was connected, but Lex was taken by surprise when it turned out Jeffrey had been putting on a performance. You really can’t trust terrorists these days.

Fortunately, Lex was also just putting on a performance.

No matter how he pretended otherwise, Lex knew that Jeffrey wasn’t in as good a condition as he stated, or else the Heart demon would not have been born. Now all he needed to do was trigger Jeffrey’s mental problems once more.

After all, Lex had reason to believe that Jeffrey’s position within Sanguis Pluvia was far from simple. Pushing him so far had revealed this planet, but Lex was convinced that if they kept pushing Jeffrey, the wyvern would only reveal more secrets.

So he began his plan to destabilize the wyverns’ mental state.

“Mary, you can tell Charles that he doesn’t need to hold back his tribulation anymore. Come to the planet where I am and trigger it immediately,” Lex told his trusty assistant while his illusion body pretended to conjure lightning tribulations.

Teleportation from the Inn left no traces, which is why no one noticed Dr. Best suddenly teleported onto the planet and triggered his tribulation, hiding in a city nearby.

The sudden appearance of the tribulation clouds triggered Jeffrey’s PTSD, and made him doubtful. Was this really an illusion? But it wasn’t enough. It was best to make the situation even more absurd.

“Mary, send in Pel Jr.”

Although Lex himself was far from where the immortals were attacking, that did not mean he would reveal his true location. So, in front of a random mountain, he summoned the dashing Pel Jr.

The black and white of the suit complimented the deep bronze of the dragon’s scales, enhancing the magnificent Dragons Charm that the dragon was radiating.

The two Heavenly immortals were stunned, but not as stunned as Jeffrey. What was this? How could this be happening? How could a dragon be working with Lex?

Jeffrey was getting close. He was on the verge of losing himself, but he wasn’t quite there, and needed just a little push.

The illusion of Lex disappeared, and then reappeared standing on the dragon’s forehead. Pel Jr. unleashed the Dragons Might of a Heavenly Immortal dragon, suddenly converting this planet into his own territory. Lex hijacked that aura, and fused it with his own Domination. Since Pel Jr. did not resist, and even coordinated with him, it was a simple task.

“I told you to just hand over Damian, Jeffrey, but you wouldn’t. Now watch and suffer as I defeat the last restraints of your feeble mind, and pull that information out of your brain.”

Pel Jr. roared, causing not just the planet, but the whole star system to tremble. The red formation around the planet shattered, and across the galaxy many dragons felt an unfamiliar dragon marking his territory.

Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, for though Charle’s tribulation was not as absurd as Lex’s, it was far from simple, causing the laws in the region to fall into chaos.

Across the Origin realm, many strong beings finally noticed that something was being obscured, but they could not tell what it was just yet.

On the planet, Jeffrey started hyperventilating as Pel Jr. and the two Heavenly Immortals flew into the sky, beginning their combat for dominance.

The real Lex strolled up behind Jeffrey, touched him with his finger, and caused him to fall into a real illusion.

His body and spirit, which were greatly sensitive to illusions now, panicked and warned the wyvern that he was in an illusion, but the wyvern misunderstood. It thought that this was merely Lex finally allowing him to sense the illusion.

“Show me all your other secret plans, brother Jeff,” said an illusion of Lex who walked up to the wyvern. “Show me how else you plan on trapping me.”

Within his heart, with the danger of the two immortals gone, the Heart demon finally struck, beginning an internal battle to take over Jeffrey’s identity. But with his mind falling into chaos, Jeffrey could not put up any resistance at all.

“No, no this can’t be happening!” Jeffrey said. “This is not real. This is not real. THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING!”

Losing his mind, Jeffrey summoned a locket and crushed it.
