Chapter 941 Incredible Achievement
Reminiscing the enemies that were defeated throughout Rex's journey, a fundamental lesson was learned. Albeit most of the time, standing on the side as a witness, it doesn't diminish the effect of their deaths that were eerily caused by fundamentally the same mistakes that made her reach this conclusion.
If faced with a serious problem, emotions are the number one enemy.
One needs to win against emotions first before being able to solve the problem at hand.
Just like Adhara, who often stood as a silent observer of their downfalls or arrived too late to lend assistance, Ryze shared a similar role. He primarily lingered in the background, offering little help while relishing the safety and privileges afforded by Rex.
Accompanying Delta is the only helpful thing he does.
Meanwhile, Rex who essentially took him under his wing was constantly in a lot of trouble.
'Without realizing it, I become spoiled. A burden and a leech in his life, giving nothing but disappointment in return' Ryze looks down dejectedly, cerebration in its work.? He now realizes that while he complains about the brutality of Rex's ways, he provides no support whatsoever.
In a way, he really has become a spoiled brat who always complains.
Taking a deep breath, he clenched his fists tightly, a flash of determination in his eyes. 'Get it together, Ryze. This is reality, and you have to face it and accept it or else you will always be the same spoiled brat. Even Kyran could do it, and so can I'
Despite still not accepting the brutal ways, he's determined to change.
If he wanted to really understand the right way, he would need to learn about the brutal way.
Conversely, as Ryze grappled with his emotional turmoil and strove for personal growth, Adhara shook her head in recollection. She realized that she, too, hadn't heeded her own advice. Her self-control wavered when she first encountered Giana.
Another massive reason that she respected Rex even more.
Evidently, straying away from emotions is something that is way easier said than done.
Despite the constant wrath he displayed against his enemies, despite the constant pain and suffering he was induced with, when it comes down to it, Rex has always managed to create a plan without any influence of his emotions.
One such he showcased greatly during the fight against the Atkins Family.
"I know that you're going to fail in doing what I said, as it's not something easily learned, but know that I'm also still trying. So don't be disheartened and keep trying, you'll be surprised at how Rex will appreciate your effort when the time comes" Adhara said softly, giving encouragement to the struggling Ryze.
In return, Ryze nodded his head as he gazed back at the testament of might once again.
Meanwhile, Rex drew the last rune of the formation.
Following the completion of the formation, the entire runes he carved glowed, gathering the mana from around the place and turning it into lightning mana. With a touch of his index finger at the center of the formation, it was then connected to the Sky Imprisonment spell, the four lightning dragons in the sky.
Now, the Sky Imprisonment spell is self-sufficient, not needing Rex's mana to maintain.
Rex looked at this and nodded in satisfaction.
Okay, it's done.
But as he was about to do something, a couple of notifications appeared in his vision.
<Sudden Quest completed!>
<Calculating Rastrikan Demons killed...>
<Obtained 200 Billion Exp, 11,312 Rastrikan Demon Cores, Sin of Wrath, and Sin of Envy!>
<For gloating the user's might and bearing as a contender of absolute invincibility using Demon Lord Kirgil who has a notorious reputation amongst the world, the Declaration of Invincibility achievement has been completed!>
<Obtained Quiddity of Invincible, 5 Million Gold, and 10x All-round Stature Crystals>
Upon seeing these notifications, a smile made its way towards his face.
Even though he did what he did to Demon Lord Kirgil in order to not be doubted once again, preventing his forces' morale from always being high for future fights, he wasn't expecting that he would also complete an achievement from the System.
Hmm... Quiddity of Invincible? Is it a skill?
<Quiddity of Invincible>
As an aspiring candidate to reach absolute invincibility, it's the norm to have the bearing worthy of an invincible entity, unable to be blighted by weakening effect. With this passive skill, all weakening effects induced on the user would be weakened by 50%.
Rex read the skill description to the end with his smile gradually widening.
Just when he didn't have much expectation, he was proven dead wrong by the System.
I remember during the fight with the Executor, he used a skill called Crippling Wicked Grasp. A weakening skill for non-humans and the weakening effect is even greater than my Alpha Bearing skill at 40%. Now, with this, it would be reduced to only 20%.
Upon learning about the skill, his mind instantly wanders back to the Executor.
Since the Executor is the entity he would need to defeat, it was natural for him to do this.
While he was excited about the new skill he gained from completing the achievement, his smile stiffened as he remembered something. He quickly gazed at the sky and waved his hand, dispersing a small portion of the dark clouds he summoned.
Right then, the white sphere of the First Breath was exposed for him to see.
Am I feeling this right, System?
<Yes, the Quiddity of Invincible is a very powerful passive skill. It's a skill belonging to the three nearest candidates of the previous race to absolute invincibility, thus able to slightly influence the weakening effect of even the First Breath too>
Just then, Rex's expression, his eyes in particular were shaded as he tilted his head down.
But soon, the corner of his lips curled into a sadistic smile.? Is that so...?
...

...
Checking his stats, he could see clearly the increase in his strength.
Previously, he had sensed that his body had gotten somewhat stronger than before, and now he found the explanation. It turns out that the Quiddity of Invincible skill is potent enough to provide partial protection against the weakening effects of the First Breath.
However, he soon frowned when he registered what the System had said.
Is there a race to absolute invincibility before me? Who are these three candidates?
<The information is disclosed for now. The user would need to become stronger than now in order to access this information and gain the answer the user wanted. Please ask again when the user is nearer to absolute invincibility>
Upon hearing this, his eyebrows dipped into a stronger frown.
I expected the answer would cost some gold, however, I didn't expect this. Even I can access the information about the Lunirich Gods, which are essentially Gods in reality for the Werewolves, but how come I don't have access to this?
Despite being curious, Rex wasn't going to probe further forcefully.
Every answer to his problems is becoming stronger, and that is what he will do for now.
Rex shrugged his shoulders and decided to drop the topic, at least he now could assume that these three candidates of absolute invincibility should be the predecessors of the System in ancient times, way before he was even born.
Moving from the subject, he glanced to the far horizon to his right, a fierce glint in his eyes.
Fine, for now, learn the Quakestream Lightning Revelator spell.
<Affirmative.>
Now that the matter about the Rastrikan Demons is finished, he could focus on other things.
One of them is the fact that struck Rex was Elder Tilrith's odd visit. He sensed that there must be a more important motive for her to personally come. Despite her apparent suspicion about the severity of his actions toward the Demon Lords, Rex had an inkling that she might be using this as a smokescreen to conceal another thing.
It felt like she was here because she was nearby or something.
Albeit faint, I could smell a weird scent and energy around her body that didn't belong to her. The scent and energy also lingers in Elder Rancaladra. I'm sure, both of them came here after going somewhere else, and I need to know.
New information was uploaded into Rex's brain as he learned the new spell instantly.
Pausing for a second, he arranged the information.
Just when Adhara and Ryze who saw that he had finished making the formation wanted to come down, the two of them saw Rex slowly transforming into his Werewolf form which made the two halt their intentions.
At the sight of this, the two instantly became alert.
"Did you sense anything around, Ryze?" Adhara mused, darting her eyes left and right.
Upon hearing this, Ryze shook his head, indicating that he hadn't sensed anything unusual in their vicinity except for the peculiar odor emanating from the corpses of the Rastrikan Demons submerged in water. "No, there doesn't seem to be anything around us. But to make sure, I'll go scout the area"
With his newfound determination, he turned into his draconic form and flew away.
Soaring in the darkened sky, Ryze scanned his reptilian sharp eyes to the ground and found nothing for miles. He then quickly came back and rely upon the findings to Adhara, "Nothing, I don't even see a mutated animal at least in two miles radius"
"Then why did he turn into his Werewolf form?" Adhara muttered in puzzlement.
However, the two could see Rex making his move.
Like visible vibrations, lightning sparks could be seen coursing on the surface of his skin.
Opening his eyes fully, Rex suddenly jumped to the tallest tree branch around the area with his snout facing skywards. More sparks of lightning could be seen gathering around him, the mana he amassed was enormous for the First Breath's standard.
Under the gaze of the onlookers, the sparks of lightning were pulled to his mouth.
It was almost as if there was a magnet that pulled the lightning and created a translucent, black aura seething from this mouth. Following, with one huge breath, Rex unleashed a mighty howl that seemed to shake the entire place.
Aoooouuuu!!
Decorating that howl is a blast of lightning shockwave, blasting to the surroundings.
Adhara and Ryze were surprised when they saw this, but the black lightning shockwave did nothing aside from tickling their skin as it went past them and kept on going, moving faster than the speed of sound and reaching far and beyond.
Ten seconds later, the black lightning shockwave already disappeared in the far distance.
On the other hand, Adhara felt her throat was invaded with a burning sensation.
Just this sensation alone tells her that Rex has used the Silverstar Howl, similar to the ones he did back in the Carabidis Temple and also whenever he won a huge fight. It forced a howl out of her mouth too, a collective requiem of Werewolves.
Meanwhile, countless miles away.
Upon hearing the distant howl, Elder Rancaladra, and Elder Tilrith turned to look back.
Both of them instantly recognized the mighty howl as a howl from Rex, the weight of the howl could even put strains on their bodies thus it was unmistakable that this howl was coming from Rex, not other Werewolves.
"Seemed like he succeeded in taking down the troublemakers" Elder Rancaladra uttered.
Elder Tilrith also nodded in agreement, "I believe so too..."
As they prepared to move on, their instincts kicked in when they detected a rapidly approaching presence. Their eyes locked onto a shockwave of black lightning surging through the ground, moving even faster than their top speeds.
Swoosh!
Blitz!
It went past them, only brushing their skin, seemingly tagging them with a touch.
"Werewolves... In every era, it's the same. A mighty howl to showcase their dominance after winning a fight, very typical" Elder Rancaladra mused with scorn, the Werewolves' pride is an admirable trait, but often times overbearing.
However, Elder Tilrith has a peculiar gaze, pondering about this with squinted eyes.
