Chapter 1041 Not the journey nor the destination
Getting to the heart of the domain wasn't exactly simple. He had to consistently check with Leroy to see if he hadn't accidentally teleported past it. But, at a certain point, Lex was able to tell on his own where the heart was.
It started with entering a bog that gave off a noxious gas that was both corrosive and poisonous. Of course, it did nothing to Lex, but he could see how anyone else would have been highly inconvenienced if not completely deterred by it.
The fact that the bog also contained countless venomous beasts was also a strong indication that they were close. By this point, Leroy was already deeply invested in sharing the troubled past of his people, so Lex felt slightly awkward disturbing him, so he continued on his own.
His Wyrm's Glyph also helped at this point, as it could pick up the value of whatever secret the domain was hiding. After the bog and an extremely rocky region with a terrain that would be difficult to traverse for anyone traveling by land. Countless rabid beasts flew in the air, discouraging anyone from taking that route as well, though once again Lex just ignored them.
After countless deep canyons, rivers of acid, a pool of blue lava, a field of surprisingly beautiful flowers that were obviously carnivorous, a gravity field, another bog, and finally an enchanted forest later, Lex finally encountered a small building that managed to restrict his teleportation. Fortunately, at this point, his projection came in handy, opening the otherwise sealed doors.
Lex noticed a few human bones at this point, as well as a small man made hut belonging to someone who probably lived here for a while, but the occupant was long dead already, so he ignored it.
He entered the building, only to get caught in a trap. Lex had to admit that he figured out a way?to solve the trap, but it was much easier to just let it spring and then walk through the harmful effects of it to the final chamber, so that's what he did.
As it turned out, some kinds of corrosive liquids actually made good hair gel if they could not eat through the hair and scalp. Who knew?
What about the epic journey? The trials they had to overcome? The bond they would build over the dangers they faced? He had rehearsed the words he would say when he would be dying to encourage the savior not to quit. Now... now he was just supposed to believe it was all over? Just like that?
Sensing that poor Leroy was not in the right mental state to respond at the moment, probably too welled up with the emotions linked to his imminent freedom, Lex decided to ignore him and just check for himself. He walked up to the podium, ignoring the strange pressure that was supposed to be weighing down his steps, and just grabbed the crown from midair.
There was an invisible barrier around it, which was awkward, because Lex ended up grabbing the barrier alongside the crown and pulling it as well. It seemed not everything could be brute forced!
Lex used his own, golden aura one more time to disable the barrier, and finally got his hands on the crown.
A pulse of energy traveled from the crown into Lex, and then into the ground itself. The entire domain began to tremble as a massive earthquake suddenly began to rock everything. Back in the underground temple, in the final chamber, the fairy who was being suppressed by the river of energy coursing through him finally sensed the flow ebb, and took his chance.
He had been prepared for this day his whole life!
It was time to break the enchantment. Lex, however, ignored everything, because he heard a very familiar sound in his head.
