"Buy me a bit of time," said Lex as he tried to maximise his speed as he drew an array using the characters from the Book of Changes. In truth, he could have fought while drawing the array, but if he specifically focused on drawing the array, his speed would be much greater.
Without the need to worry about his energy reserves, since he was present with his main body, Lex let the energy flow through his body and into his character.
These characters seemed to resonate more deeply with the environment than any other Lex had ever used before, and he was certain that once his mastery of them improved, he could use them to devastating effect. For now, though, he merely used them to correct some forced alterations to his environment. Maybe later on, he'd be able to guide the environment in certain directions himself too.
Fortunately, due to his vast experience accumulated over the past year, it barely took Lex a single minute to form the appropriate array.
