With nothing else left to do, Lex turned and looked towards the dragon. Truthfully speaking, involving dragons into his plans was a risky move on his part. Unfortunately, it was necessary. When facing an enormous organization that even the Henali struggled with, Lex wanted each and every asset he could gain, and dragons were one of the most powerful races in existence.
If he could harvest their power sohow, it would go a long way towards fighting off Sanguis Pluvia. Unfortunately, asking nicely was not going to work, and no matter how irredeemably evil and corrupt Jeffrey was, he was not stupid enough to provoke the dragon race. It would have been nice if Lex found evidence of him trying to clone dragons or sothing, but Lex did not believe there was any entity stupid enough in the universe to try sothing as provocative as that.
That only left one thing that Lex could do. He had to use his own infamy and hatred to attract them together, or as many of them together as he possibly could, and then use so other ans to divert their attention. He had already arranged for how to divert their attention - he only hoped that it actually worked, or that the dragons didn't do anything unpredictable.
Speaking of dragons, Lex used his treasure finding Glyph to search for the most valuable thing nearby and quickly grabbed it before putting it away.
He owed Vera a considerable debt now, with all the prophecies she kept giving him, only telling him to pay what he thought that revelation was worth. The crystals in this zone which could help in passing tribulations were extrely valuable, and should make a dent in his debt to her.
He wasn't really too worried about paying her back, but it would be nice to get so variety to shake things up. He couldn't just rely on the Inn for everything and get lazy.
With that done, Lex teleported to the purple dragon who had locked his legs. No matter what happened, he was determined to not kneel in front of the human once more. Suddenly, Lex realized why he had grown stronger. It was not enough to face Lex, but it should be enough to put up so resistance against Lex's Domination.
Unfortunately for the dragon, his Domination had grown only stronger with his realm, but that was fine. Lex didn't intend to humiliate the dragon - not with Domination anyway.
"Now then, with that taken care of, why don't we get down to business," Lex said with a smile. Though, given the state of his body, his smile made him look nacing instead of charming.
"I presu you were sent here to…what? Capture ? Kill ?"
"Do not patronize , human," the dragon spat forth, his spirit already recovered. Even though he was suppressed, and completely overpowered by Lex, he never admitted defeat.
"Say what you want and get it over with. I will not scurry or apologize for my intentions. It is your honor to be hunted by a dragon, and it will be your honor when you are killed by one."
The dragon was angry and humiliated, but Lex didn't mind its harsh words. If anything he appreciated them, for it made him feel less guilty about using the dragons for his own goals.
"Apology? Do you think I'm here for sothing like that? No boy, I'm here to get you to deliver a ssage."
The purple dragon's body was larger than Lex, although it was not even as large as Pelvailins hand. That only made sense, since Lex could sense that as far as dragons were concerned, this one was a juvenile.
"You dragons are pretty impressive, I'll admit that. The first ti I saw a dragon in real life, I was blown away. But the more ti I spent thinking about it, the more I realized that you all are not so great. After all, everything you can do… I can do better."
Lex's words caused the little dragon to growl aggressively, but that is all he could do. He could feel just how dangerous Lex was, and knew exactly how much he could afford to push things. Should he actually succeed in aggravating Lex, his future would not be so bright.
Being able to tolerate humiliating circumstances was also included in the training that he took, although he never thought he'd actually have to use that training one day.
"Your Dragons Might, I can do better," Lex said as he took a step forward, Domination flaring out.
"Your Dragons breath, I can do better," he continued, a small streak of golden flas escaping from between his teeth.
"My skin is tougher than your scales, and my fingers cut deeper than your claws. The universe bends to my will, willingly or unwillingly, and that's before I begin even really trying."
Lex did not summon his lotus tattoo, since he literally could not for now, he did trigger montarily, and flashed a much stronger, deeper aura.
He approached the dragon and grabbed its face, pulling it down so that Lex could look it right in the eyes.
"Your whole species is so arrogant. You put a bounty out on my head without even understanding the situation, and then sent a newborn dragon to take down without understanding my strength."
For a mont, Lex continued to stare into the purple dragon's eye, its entire body under Lex's control. Then he grinned.
"But even arrogance, I can do better," he said, his voice radiating with powerful pride. "The reason I didn't hurt you is so that you can act as my little ssenger boy. Go back to your elders, let them know. Within the sa realm, there is no dragon who can stand against , and only at a higher realm is a dragon worthy of becoming my mount. "Dragonsbane is not a na I chose for myself, but in the future when the universe sees , they will see standing atop the head of a true dragon. If you have the guts to face then co. The universe will witness your challenge of , and the universe will witness your failure."
Lex let the dragon go, but it was not able to move or retreat even if it wanted, since Lex's influence remained.
"If you want to find , you can follow this," Lex said as he walked away, his back to the dragon. He left behind a vial of green tallic liquid. Since Lex had the demon guiding his path, he did not need the liquid, but it would do a good job in leading the dragons to the right place - assuming it worked. If it didn't… well, Lex had faith that the dragons would find him anyway.
Truthfully, after spending so many years with Pel, he knew better than anyone just how wide the scope of a dragon's power truly was.
