Chapter 433 The Leader Of The Canyon
It's like the black lightning strikes already moved on their own to follow the target's movement.
Because of that, none of the mutated animals are left standing as they all got hit one time by the sky rupture spell which killed them instantly.
Thousands fall from that display of Rex's new power,
Since the majority of the mutated animals here have sixth rank power, the exp they provide is tens of millions and thus result in Rex leveling up two times just by wiping them all.
Rex smiles while looking at the dead mutated animals around the canyon,
The result of his spell can be seen all around him thanks to the great few from above, carcasses floating above the river water, and land that even blocks the ground beneath them.
It's shocking to see that he possesses such power,
'With this much power, I think I can use Sky Imprisonment two or three times if I really need to', Rex thought while feeling the Spirit Core inside his chest.
After feeling his body, he then opens his stats tab.
<Rex Silverstar>
Pack: Silverstar (3/5)
Level: 46 (2,627,500,000/11,000,000,000)
Race: Royal Black Werewolf
Full-Moon: 17 Days - Wolf Moon
Berserk: 75%
Sanity: 48%
Mental: 401(+357)
Strength: 1330(+374)
Agility: 1246(+337)
Endurance: 1155(+589)
Intelligence: 2513 (+120)
Rex's stats raised tremendously from reaching the seventh rank realm, all of his stats now enter the 4 digit mark except for his mental stats that are lacking.
One of the huge changes in his stats lies in his intelligence stat and agility stat,
Both of those stats raised by a whopping amount, even the agility stat now almost match Rex's highest bodily stat which is his strength stat.
Not only that but his mental stat was also raised a bit from killing the mutated animals.
Whiro Necklace of Despair does its effect as it raised 2 mental stat for every creature who has a higher mental stat that Rex killed.
This is terrifying progress that even Rex sucked in a cold breath,
Just almost half a year ago he was nothing but a normal human dwelling in the military, but now he become a terrifying figure that reaches the seventh rank realm.
The seventh rank Awakened is a level of a family head level,
Even Duncan Platchi who holds the last rank of the 25 Golden Crest Family only has peak sixth rank power, but Rex surpassed him by reaching the seventh rank.
Because of this, Gerrard's title as the youngest seventh rank was taken away.
Rex becomes the new youngest and possibly strongest amongst the descendants that have reached the seventh rank, it's a feat that none can hope to compete with.
After realizing his power right now,
A smile crept on Rex's face as his body started to tremble, with this amount of power he will be a force to reckoned with even for a Royal Vampire Family like the Delarosa Family.
The vampire, Ana Delarosa will not be able to defeat the current him.
While Rex is thinking about how he will create chaos in the Vampire Territory after he finishes his matter with the Atkins Family, he suddenly heard a powerful laugh.
This powerful laugh resounded and it came from Devo laughing under the rain.
Upon hearing this, the descendants look at Devo in awe, they're a bit jealous knowing that Rex possesses such a terrifying spirit that can summon thunderclouds with a flick of his hand.
"How I miss this!", Devo exclaims in joy.
Rex came down from the weird-shaped rock before he landed just beside Devo, he saw how Devo is happy as he taps Devo's shoulder.
Glancing at Rex, Devo then boasts, "This is just but a fraction of my real power"
"You seem quite happy", Rex said from the side.
Hearing this, Devo was about to boast again but he then saw the weird look on Rex's face.
Rex is looking at Devo with a smile while holding his shoulder, then out of nowhere, Devo got sucked back into Rex's shadow as he disappeared from the place.
[Oh, come on! You should've been grateful for having me!], Devo complained.
Instead of what Devo expected, Rex then replied, 'I'm the one that made you stronger, so you should've been the one grateful to be assimilated with me'
[Arrogant! I'm 10 millennia older than you!], Devo rebutted back.
But Rex only scoffed as he suppressed Devo's consciousness again making Devo curse him a couple of times as his own voice becomes smaller and smaller.
"Congratulation Rex!", Dray suddenly said from the side.
Evelyn also congratulate him followed by the other descendants with the exception of a few, but Rex didn't mind them as he nodded his head.
'The quest is not over', Rex thought with a frown.
Then suddenly, one of the descendants said, "Where's Seve and Tyrice?"
"Last time I saw them they should've gone in that direction, what took them so long to come back?", another descendant replied in concern.
Rex becomes worried upon hearing this,
He snapped his head left and right trying to find something, 'I heard a powerful roar before, it should come from the leader of the mutated animals', Rex thought.
Just when he's channeling his spell to obliterate the mutated animals before,
There's a powerful roar that came out of nowhere, this roar is like a signal that makes the mutated animals start attacking them.
But thankfully, Rex stopped them before they got close.
'If it's like the system said, then there should be a leader of the mutated animals', Rex thought.
Evelyn who saw Rex looking in a direction with a frown approaches him, she also heard that roar although it got a bit muffled by Rex's spell, "There should be something leading them"
"It'll be bad if Seve and Tyrice met that leader", she added.
Hearing this, Rex nodded his head as the leader of the mutated animals should be as strong as him judging from the mutated animals that don't run from his aura alone.
When they both are talking, out of nowhere,
BOOM!!
There's a loud explosion coming from afar which attracts all of the descendants' attention.
A cloud of dust covered the explosion direction,
All of the descendants ready themselves as they can feel a very powerful aura appearing right after the explosion, this aura is so thick that it matches Rex's aura.
Two shadows crashed into a nearby rock as it seems they got hit by something,
Rex glances at the source of the explosion before he saw two-person running away after crashing, just from a glance he realized that both of them are Seve and Tyrice.
Both of them are injured as they got blasted away,
Without wasting any second, Rex turns into a streak of lightning to help them.
Just in a few seconds, Rex arrived beside the running Seve and Tyrice before he grabs both of them and flashes back to the other descendants.
Seve and Tyrice fall to the ground after they arrived at the descendants,
Morana was the first one to approach them as she saw both of them are heavily injured, she immediately uses her spell to treat them.
Although they can still run, their body state is very bad.
Seve has his leg broken from the crash with his upper body bloodied, but the surprising one is Tyrice who has very big nasty claw marks on his chest.
Metal Elementalists has really high endurance, but it seems this leader tore through Tyrice.
"What happened?", Morana asks in concern.
Hearing this, Seve who can still talk sits up with a bit of struggle trying to endure the pain around his body, "Sev- Seventh rank! There's a Seventh rank mutated animal!"
This news makes the descendants step back in fear,
But knowing that Rex is with them, they suppress their fears and look at Rex instead.
ROAR!!
All of them snapped their necks to the roar direction and find a mutated animal already on top of a tall rock staring down at them with its animalistic fierce eyes.
The oozing aura of a seventh rank can be felt clearly coming from that mutated animal.
"How can it hide its aura? A mutated animal as strong as that should've been felt the moment we got here", Dray mutters with a frown.
Such a powerful mutated animal is rare in Ratmawati City,
This canyon is located in sector 2 so a powerful mutated animal like this should not be here, the UWO or FAA would've already killed it to make the place secure.
But the mutated animal in front of them was nevertheless staring at them,
Rex glance at the mutated animal while walking towards it slowly, the mutated animal is in a shape of an oversized wild cat that seems to be as big as Delta.
Its skin is brown with meaningful rows of black sharp teeth with four fangs,
The black fangs look menacing and are especially its black claws even from afar, they are at least the size of Rex's arm that can tear through anything it bites and slash easily like butter.
<Fuzeriat - Amphibian Steeled Wild Cat>
Race: Mutated Mammal
Power: Seventh Rank(Mid) - Earth Affinity
Mental: 1100
Strength: 2642
Agility: 3056
Endurance: 3869
Intelligence: 1933
After scanning the wild cat, Rex immediately exposes his smile.
The wild cat came at the perfect time to test Rex's new power and also faring to see him against a mid-seventh rank power mutated animal.
Just from the wild cat's stats alone, Rex can't play around fighting it.
Psshh...
Red force started to envelop Rex's body as he also activates his Lunar Blessing, he is not going to hold back at all as he uses all of his power.
Although it's not night, the Lunar Blessing can bypass that barrier.
His stats were enhanced by 200% thanks to it, and now his aura becomes unbelievably sharp that can be felt by the wild cat even through the far distance between them.
The wild cat already tensed its body feeling Rex's threatening aura,
Rex reaches for his Amuerus Katana before unsheathing it slowly making a steely sound, he then stopped on his track before pointing the katana to the wild cat, "Let's play shall we?"
BLITZ!
In the blink of an eye, Rex turns into a streak of black lightning.
Seeing this, the wild cat leaped away from the rock it was currently on to dodge Rex's attack.
BOOM!
Rex crashed to the rock destroying it completely into rubbles, he then puts his katana on his shoulder before glancing at the wild cat, "What are you running for?"
Although it doesn't understand what Rex said,
The wild cat knows that Rex is currently mocking it, so it started to growl angrily.
Upon closer look, Rex saw that the wild cat has two curving back horns just like a goat would have and a tail that almost looks like a fin with additional fins on its elbow and the back of its hind legs.
Its name has Ampfibic so this wild cat must be able to dwell in water,
Swish!
Countless rubbles around the area started levitating as the wild cat glares at Rex angrily, it then roared before the rubbles shot straight at Rex like bullets.
SWOOSH!
With his swift movement, Rex then chanted, "Blitzing Cry!"
BLITZ!
A flash of powerful black lightning exploded from his body destroying the incoming rubbles the size of his body, but then Rex saw an earth spike heading towards him.
It was so fast that it arrives right in front of Rex's eyes swiftly,
But instead of panicking, a smile crept on Rex's face as a cloudy figure jumped out of his shadow.
CLANG!
The chains around Devo's wrists block the earth spike shattering it easily, it creates a powerful shockwave before the earth spike crumbles under Devo's lightning.
After blocking the earth spike,
Both Devo and Rex look around before they frown, the wild cat is gone.
Out of nowhere, Evelyn who is watching all of this from afar amplifies her voice using sound magic before she shouted while pointing at Rex's back, "LOOK OUT!"
Hearing this, Rex glance at his back before his eyes widen,
BAM!
Rex got flung away after the wild cat headbutted him but he manage to block the headbutt with his arms, 'This thing is good at hiding its aura', he thought while crashing away.
CRASH!
The wild cat submerged from the rock as if its body becomes one with the rock.
It has an earth element affinity and the wild cat is somehow able to merge with rock, the skin of the wild cat can also camouflage with the surrounding.
This provides a nice surprise attack that even caught Rex and Devo off guard.
Seeing this, Devo's eyes cracked with black lightning.
BLITZ!
Before Devo can grab the wild cat intending to stun it with the sky black lightning, the wild cat already jumped into the river.
Splash!
Rex recovers and saw the wild cat going inside the river,
But upon seeing this, Rex and Devo crack a smile as they both turn into a streak of black lightning and went inside the river pursuing the wild cat.
With their fast movements, Rex and Devo almost reach the wild cat in an instant.
Then suddenly, the wild cat waves its tail increasing its speed even faster leaving Rex and Devo by the bubbles it created.
Before Rex can think of anything,
The wild cat suddenly emerges from the river floor and bites Rex's body, "Rrrghh!", Rex grunted as the black fangs are digging into him.
Bubbles came out of his mouth as the air in his lungs got out,
Devo saw this happening, his body then sizzle with black lightning, he didn't sit idle as he appears beside the wild cat and slammed both of his fists.
BAM!!
Upon getting hit by Devo's hammering fists,
The wild cat got sent crashing to the river wall which makes Rex able to break free from its bite, but it doesn't have enough power to stun the wild cat as it started swimming away.
Just like a water jet, the three of them then exchange blows inside the water,
BAM!
BURST!
From above the river water, the descendants can only see the green water of the river flashing a couple of times as a few explosions make the water burst.
But after dodging the wild cat attack, Rex and Devo's bodies glows with black lightning.
The wild cat makes a huge mistake by fighting a Lightning Elementalist underwater, fighting inside water is a perfect place for lightning to travel.
CRACK!
BLITZ!
Powerful lightning shockwaves exploded from Rex and Devo's bodies,
After activating the sky black lightning, the green river water started trembling as the black lightning travels even faster than the wild cat's movement.
BZZTT!!
Upon getting hit by the sky black lightning,
The wild cat roared feeling its body paralyzed, and in this high-speed fight, this moment is taken advantage of by both Devo and Rex.
Swish!
Growl!
Although the mutated wild cat has seventh rank power,
It is nothing but an animal that has a low level of intelligence, going inside water while facing Lightning Elementalists is akin to begging to be electrocuted.
Thanks to that one mistake, the wild cat was sent crashing out of the water.
Rex didn't idle long as jumps out of the water and turns the ground black, one thick sky black lightning tentacle then sprouted from below the wild cat before stabbing through its stomach.
BURST!
It managed to pierce the wild cat thanks to his very high intelligence,
Without any pause, Rex leaped and stabbed the wild cat on its neck with his Amuerus Katana.
Rex frowned when he saw the Amuerus Katana only shallowly penetrate its hardened skin enveloped by earth mana, so he then jumped and drop kick the katana.
STAB!
Because of that decisive quick thinking, the katana went deeper into the hardened skin.
Only the handle of the katana can be seen from the outside,
The wild cat roared as blood started flowing out of his mouth, even its neck is stained with its own blood with Amuerus Katana stabbing right through it.
After stabbing it, Devo jumped while putting his hands together.
A huge mace made of black lightning started to form in his hands, Devo intended to finish the wild cat off but then suddenly,
ROAR!!
The wild cat started to suck in earth mana making its body glow with a brown hue, it then twists its body snapping the sky black lightning tentacle stabbing through its stomach.
It then jumps to the side dodging Devo's attack,
BOOM!
Devo's mace landed on the ground powerfully with black lightning but missed, Rex was caught in surprise upon seeing this,
It's the first time that something actually broke his sky-black lightning tentacle.
With a menacing low growl, the wild cat glares at Rex, and Devo as its body kept sucking the earth mana in the surrounding like a torrent.
But there's faint green energy mixed with the earth mana,
"It's using its final attack! That beast is burning its life essence", Devo warned hurriedly.
Hearing this, Rex frown while looking warily at the wild cat as the aura coming from it becomes very threatening even for Rex and Devo.
BOOM!
The ground cracked as the wild cat's entire body was covered with hardened rock.
Its power is raising by the second as it sucks every earth mana in the surrounding, this process creates a buzzing sound in the ears as if the wild cat is charging for an attack.
Even the descendants that are already fleeing a bit further can hear this buzzing sound.
After the earth mana was about to explode from the wild cat's body,
BOOM!
Rex widen his eyes when the wild cat's speed becomes even faster than before, he saw the wild cat charging at him with extreme speed covered with earth mana.
But Devo saw this as he stands between Rex and the charging wild cat,
"I won't be able to hold this one, make sure to dodge it!", Devo said as he links the chains on his wrists together, the chains spark some lightning before the spark creates a lightning barrier.
Hearing this, Rex nodded his head.
Devo taking the hit is better than Rex taking it since he will just be brought back to Rex's shadow.
That is why Rex will need to dodge this last attack from the wild cat, but when he was about to jump away he suddenly frown when he felt something clinging to his leg.
Rex looks down and finds that his legs got sucked into the ground.
He tries to break free using all his might but it didn't budge, the earth mana imbued onto his legs is very dense that even he can't break free.
Since he has many enhancements right now,
Rex is confident that he can take the wild cat's final attack, the stats he had added with the enhancement from the Lunar Blessing, and Red Force surpass the wild cat's stats.
But then suddenly,
BOOM!!
The charging wild cat hit Devo's lightning barrier as cracks started to form instantly,
Devo didn't last very long as, after about a few seconds, the lightning barrier shatters as Devo's body got hit by the wild cat before he got instantly sent back to Rex's shadow.
It shocks Rex since he didn't expect Devo to not last very long,
In a hurry, Rex activates his sky black lightning intending to use Ether Blink.
With a wave of his hand, he summoned countless sky black lightning tentacles to block the charging wild cat but they snapped upon contact.
The sky black lightning tentacles don't hold a candle against the mutated wild cat.
BLITZ!
A lightning strike descend from the sky hitting Rex's body, he then slowly turns into a lightning particle but before his entire body finished merging with the lightning.
"Shit!", Rex cursed but he already notice the wild cat is already near.
Without having any other choice, Rex flexed his body so hard to prepare himself for the powerful attack from the wild cat that even Devo can't sustain for long.
'It's weakened, I can take this', Rex thought hopeful.
Thanks to Devo putting himself as a shield, the wild cat's attack weakened and Rex thought that he will probably be able to take this without any heavy injuries.
But upon feeling the impact of the wild cat, he realized that he was dead wrong.
KABOOM!!
