A blast that exploded and destroy everything in sight. A circular phenomenon generated by the clash of arcane magic and the kingly energy expanded far and wide, destroying the Great Barricade wall once again.
Instead of crumbling, the wall evaporated into nothing upon being hit by the phenomenon.
Nothing was spared from this clash that puts the historical clashes between powerful entities to shame, this clash without a doubt is the most destructive clash the world has ever seen. Many unfortunate individuals that got hit by this got blasted away.
A fraction of their numbers survived, the ones that has enough strength to protect themselves.
But the ones that are not able to protect themselves find their own limbs slowly being evaporated, the pain is gruesome and their expression showed that clearly. The mercy shown by the blast was the fact that none of them suffer the pain for too long.
Everything is destroyed in a second, and the area within the blast was reduced to a huge crater.
Looking from above the blast was like a dreadful atomic bomb that decimated the entire nature and buildings made by men, the military men and Awakened that are outside of the blast area feel their spines tingle finding death is so near and staring at them.
If they got touched even by the tip of the blast, they would also be killed.
Rex is right in front of the impact of this expanding phenomenon, he can feel his skin sizzling up despite his powerful protection and regenerative ability. It was so bad that he can feel the right side of his body being scorched by the destructive blast.
But this happened thanks to the fact that Brigitta and Orson's elements complement each other.
One is a Fire Elementalist while the other is a Wing Elementalist, their arcane magic doubled or even tripled the power which almost matches Rex's strength. Pushing his claws that are cloaked with the Executor Slash skill, he refused to back down from the resisting blast.
Gritting his teeth, Rex roared before his body jolted and pushes the claws through the blast.
Swoosh!!
Four burning red arcs from the Executor Slash pierces through the two arcane magic and heads shot to the other side of the place. Orson and Brigitta didn't realize this due to the powerful shockwave, and they both got hit by them.
"Gaargh!!"
"Krrgh!"
Boom!
Both of them spat a disturbing amount of blood when they got hit by the four red arcs.
Their blood created beautiful arcs in the air pleasing to the eyes.
The Executor Slash skill has been influenced by the Blood Moon instead of the Banished Dark Moon, its effect has also changed and now the Executor Slash skill has received a boost of penetration power and also become stronger in the strength brought by the skill.
Due to that the force that spreads through Brigitta and Orson's bodies surprised them both.
It was so powerful and they can feel the four red arcs digging into their skin with insurmountable force, their bodies got slammed onto the ground with sliced open stomachs that are deep enough to be considered a fatal injury.
Rex then landed right in front of them with still the blazing red kingly aura around his body.
With eyes eviler than the Demons, redder than the Vampires, and sharper than the Werewolves, he stares at the two ninth-rank realms Awakened that are under his mercy. Both are not in a condition where they can retaliate and fight.
If he really wanted to, he can finish them off right now. But his mind is on another thing.
Turning his body around he was faced with a figure that is clearly a ninth-rank realm entity. Equipped with black heavy armor with a skull at the center, and a threatening cutlass sheathed on the side, this pale figure looks like a Vampire.
For some reason, the black hair reminded him of a particular Vampire bound to him. Calidora.
But the Vampire who is standing right by him right now is certainly not Calidora, it's clear that the Vampire is a man that has vast experience through those eyes, and also looks old even for the age of Vampires.
Rex scans the Vampire and finds that it was none other than the Vampire King, King Solomon.
"I'm too late..." King Solomon mutters silently.
Although Rex is standing right in front of him, eyeing him in search of an answer, King Solomon's attention was focused on the sky. A frown is clearly etched on his face, showing the troubling thoughts inside his mind.
'Why did he not want me to clash against Brigitta and Orson? I'm confused' Rex thought.
Since this is their first time meeting, he doubts that King Solomon wanted to stop him out of concern for his safety or the safety of two ninth-rank realm humans that King Solomon would probably be happy if they are killed.
Due to that, Rex really doesn't know why would he try and do this if there's no merit.
Looking at the sky with clear concern, King Solomon then flared his eyes at Rex, there was a sense of disbelief in those eyes. "Queen Catsha already warned you, and yet you still stubbornly came here to fight them...? Do you have any idea what you've done?"
"I asked for an explanation from Queen Catsha, but she refused to tell me" Rex defended himself.
If Queen Catsha explain to him what will happen if he clashes with the humans then he would probably think about the fight a little bit more, but she didn't tell him anything so there's no reason for him to listen to her.
King Solomon then slowly stepped back, "Everything that will happen, it's going to be your fault..."
"Every death that will happen, every race that got exterminated, every evil that's about to come, that's on you, Royal Black Prince. You've just birthed back the absolute evil hiding dormant in this world, and we're all going to suffer because of you" he added with deep anger hidden in his tone.
But this only puts Rex even deeper into confusion, he doesn't know what to think.
Just then their conversation was interrupted by a light chuckle coming from the back. Rex looks back to find Brigitta and Orson's shoulders raising up and down, they were chuckling despite the current state they are in.
Coming from the side, Adhara and Flunra also landed right beside him.
With clear wariness, they both are looking at King Solomon that is emitting a horrendous aura, but there doesn't seem to be a hint of engaging in a fight in his eyes. Both of them had also heard the conversation between them.
Likewise, they are also confused as they don't know what King Solomon is talking about.
Rex was about to ask Brigitta what did she make him do, but then Flunra grunted in pain and falls to his knees while touching the back of his waist. It was sudden, a burning sensation suddenly that is very painful suddenly invading his body.
Upon seeing this, Adhara went over to him, "Flunra, what's wrong?!" she asked.
"I- I don't know, it's burni- Grarghh!" Flunra grunted in pain even more, the burning sensation did nothing but keep rising. It was so bad that Flunra was forced to bend over to the ground while trying to resist the burning sensation on the back of his waist.
Similar to Flunra, King Solomon also feel the burning sensation and touched his left shoulder.
Rex was completely at a loss, he doesn't understand what is happening. But then Orson commented from the back, "It's too late now, Silverstar Pack's Alpha. From here on out, the humans will dominate the entire world once again"
"What...?" Rex mutters with a frown, he can feel a sense of impending doom.
As if there was a venomous snake that is about to ambush him in the night, he can hear it hissing but he can't tell what the snake is and where the snake is going to strike. A feeling of ignorance, and that is gnawing him away.
Orson raises his gaze with a devious smile on his face, "The ancient human has awakened..."
DEG!
Just from hearing that alone Rex can feel his heart racing uncontrollably, he has heard of these ancient humans and he also blamed them for most of the hatred that birthed in the world he's living in right now.
But he can't do anything since they were beings of the past, probably already extinct.
Now that Orson has mentioned the ancient humans, then the ancient humans turn out to not have gone extinct. Flunra raises his gaze to look at Rex, there's horror depicted on his face, "It's the Executor! I should've known, they are trying to awaken the Executor!!"
"You should've just died back then, if you did then this wouldn't happen" King Solom mutters.
Although he still wanted to curse at the Royal Black Prince that has been very stubborn and ignorant in this matter, he decided to leave, turning into a huge bat before he flapped his wings away and disappear into the horizon.
While that is happening, Rex was stunned on his spot realizing the last missing puzzle.
Just like what the Supernaturals did back then, they intends to kill him but they decided to create a barrier so the rampant energy from their clash wouldn't seep out into the world. It was even the reason that Rex managed to survive that inevitable trap, by breaking away from the barrier and threatening to emit his energy out in the open.
Back then he didn't understand why they are so afraid of him doing that, it was bizarre and weird.
Rex thought that maybe they were afraid that the other ninth-rank realms Awakened would join the fight and help him, but it seems he was wrong. The only reason that they are afraid of him doing that was because of this, they are afraid of the Executor.
Now everything becomes clear, and he understands the reason behind the drastic change.
It turns out the humans are trying to force out a fight against the Supernatural so they can create a disturbance in the world to awaken the Executor, that is why the humans are advancing despite their weakened state and the Supernaturals are retreating.
On top of that, Brigitta and Orson resorting to a fight instantly now make sense.
Both of them are using him and Kyran in order to lure him here and fight, they are using his bond with the Silverstar Pack to force a fight with him. And Rex falls straight into their trap without even realizing it until now.
'I was used... I've been reckless, I should've been more careful' Rex thought, stunned on his spot.
Everything that he has done wrong is now spinning inside his head.
Rex realized that he has made one major mistake and that is letting Kyran and Flunra get Evelyn, if he was the one that has gone instead of them then maybe he can prevent Kyran to be kidnapped and also prevent this situation.
But he knows clearly that he couldn't turn back time, regret is just an empty hope.
Upon seeing Rex stunned on his spot, realizing the situation that he caused, Flunra gritted his teeth and forces his body to stand up with the help of Adhara, "Alpha! We must get out of here before the Executor finds us!"
Stumbling to stand up, Orson also smiled evilly, "Run along now, Royal Black Prince..."
Pausing for a moment, Rex slowly turns to look at Orson with a blank look. Even though it seems like he was looking at Orson, he was looking at the messages from the system instead, showing that he has already been locked on.
<Sudden Quest!>
A malicious entity is heading towards the user, survive the encounter with no casualties!
Quest reward: 5 Trillion Exp, 10 million Gold, and Plea of the Storm.
From reading this sudden quest from the system alone, Rex already knows what this means. Despite the shout from Flunra begging him to escape right now while he buys time, it was already too late, "It's already coming here..."
