The Innkeeper Chapter 2245 Victory was his

Daekol had been taking the fight seriously from the beginning, not holding back at all, so the fact that as a re Heaven Immortal Lex could survive this long

was highly comndable. But taking the fight seriously did not an he was using all available ans.

Since he decided to end this fight with the intention of avoiding any unforeseen events, he would not mind paying a small price.

"In anticipation of the resistance you might show, I designed a set of Lawcrafts just to fight you," Daekol said as Naraka was slowly but steadily pushed out of his body, the seal breaking. "Since you have pushed to the point of actually using them, I will allow you to learn my na the mont before your demise." Lex cracked his knuckles as he summoned Naraka back, not waiting for Daekol to push it out himself.

"Talk about clingy. I'm not interested," Lex said, and imdiately activated his Jorlam form by swallowing so of its blood. Who cared about poison in his blood when his very existence did not adhere to logic? In this new form, Lex focused his intentions, hoping that his Dao Body would react as expected. Daekol, however, was not surprised by the appearance of the Jorlam form. He pulled out a weapon of his own, which was just a sowhat artistic sledge hamr. The pole was taller than Daekol's whole body, but the head wasn't extraordinarily large at around eight inches in height and width.

The engraving across the body of the hamr, though, seed to radiate a certain power that made it abundantly apparent that they weren't just decorative. More importantly, although Lex was in his Jorlarm form, he felt sowhat suppressed by the hamr's presence.

In his mind, an idea seed to pop up. This was a dragonhunter's weapon, and the dragonblood in Lex's veins made him susceptible.

"Suppressive Art: Jorlam's Bane," Daekol muttered, as if his words alone granted his technique more power. They probably did, but there wasn't anything Lex could do about that.

He felt the space around him stiffen, preventing him from escaping while a new round of Sovereign influence began affecting him. Even if he had removed so influence before, it did not prevent Daekol from using more.

If Lex was in his human form, he would have started to sweat from the intensity of the situation. Instead, in his Jorlam form, he used Severlight, one of his most powerful attacks in this form.

But the attack which should have disintegrated anything it touched vanished as it ca close to the hamr, allowing the attack to slam onto Lex's body unimpeded. His Jorlam form collapsed in on itself as it suffered so strange restriction. Lex tried to force out more power, but the form collapsed on its own, leaving him back in his human state.

Lex clenched his teeth and attacked with Naraka, but it was no use. The trendous physical strength that he was usually proud of was failing as the poison continued to sap his strength.

At this rate, Lex was going to lose his fight. He hadn't wanted to do this so soon, but he had no choice. During the fight, he and Daekol had built up a trendous amount of karma so...

Lex summoned his Karmic Bead and his spirit sense locked in on Daekol, his Dao Body reacting to his will!

"Karmic Plague!" Lex spoke using Supremacy, sowhat mimicking Daekol's previous actions.

Dackol sensed the fluctuations of Tether, as well as the activity of the Dao Body, and knew that this was an attack Lex had prepared for. But he was not concerned at all.

"Suppressive Arts: Human's Bane," he whispered, and smashed his hamr forward eting his squirming karma head on.

Yet, to Daekol's mild surprise, he faced no resistance at all. His hamr didn't tear through the supposed attack, and instead slamd right into Lex's face, causing his cheek to cave in, his jaw to dislocate and his consciousness to nearly fade entirely.

That was from the re effects of the attack - the suppression of the technique followed later, like countless vines all wrapping around his body suffocating him and locking him down.

The spiritual energy within his body went dormant, his tenet stopped working and even his spirit sense began to fade. A single hit from the Suppressive art completely and thoroughly suppressed Lex, to the point where even the Back of Atlas technique was dismissed.

His drowsiness returned, and with a fury, threatening to put him to sleep right then and there.

Daekol, on the other hand, was surprised by how effective his attack was, mostly because he could tell that Lex's previous attack hadn't been a feint.

Maybe it wasn't a plague as he claid, but it was definitely real, so why hadn't it clashed with his hamr?

The sound of a sudden explosion behind him answered that question. The isolation barriers around this area cracked, and suddenly everything that was happening here was exposed to the whole universe.

In that split second, Lex's Karmic clone also took Almira out of the crack before promptly sending her away.

"Clever," Daekol whispered as he grabbed Lex's body. "But not clever enough."

He took out a scroll that he had already prepared and tore it. A bright light covered both of them, as if to bring them away, but a mont later the light faded without moving them an inch.

Daekol looked up in confusion, and saw that after the explosion tore through the barriers he'd erected around this place to keep it secret, it rged with the barriers instead. If there was one thing Lex was good at from the start of his cultivation, it was defense, and although his defense today had failed him, his extensive knowledge and research into barriers had not!

His Dao Intentions beca manifest, creating a sealing do around Daekol, preventing him from escaping, or contacting the outside.

Daekol looked back at Lex and found that as his eyes closed for the last ti,

there was still not a shred of reluctance or regret in them. Instead, there was an unspoken ssage. Unfortunately for Lex, that ssage was destined to

remain unspoken forever.

Daekol touched Lex's body and found a thin barrier around it, preventing him

from touching Lex. He took a step back and slamd his hamr into Lex's

body, holding nothing back, but the hamr just bounced back, unable to

damage it at all.

The barrier ford using all of Lex's knowledge, strengthened by his focused intentions manifesting through the actions of his Dao Body, was not sothing Daekol could break so casually.

Dackol looked at the barrier above him, and then at the one covering Lex's body, and then smirked.

"Very clever indeed, but it won't help," Daekol muttered. He could tell that the do wasn't anchored to a dream like his own barriers had been, which ant that it would move around the Dream realm.

In his case, that would continue to hide his location while he worked on Lex's system. The process would be slower than he had intended, but that was all. In the end, victory was still his.
