The Skull Gang was one of the established gangs in the Red Zone.
They were renowned and feared not only because of their numbers, but mostly because of their leader, the Skull Pugilist who was a powerful Advanced mystic warrior who already proved his strength numerous times.
The Skull Pugilist who singlehandedly founded the notorious Skull Gang like most Advanced mystic warriors here had only 2 mystic abilities.
In the Gundam Shelter here, there were no established academies like the Obedin Mystic Academy to teach students and distribute mystic abilities to them.
In here, mystic warriors had to fight for themselves and acquire mystic abilities themselves.
The Skull Pugilist's 2 mystic abilities were complementary, with the first being a purely physical mystic ability that amplified his physical strength.
The 2nd was a mystic ability that massively amplified his soul defense against soul attacks which also gave him the capability to use basic soul attack skills.
For mystic warriors like him, they had no glaring weaknesses which was one of the basic requirements to survive in the Gundam Shelter.
The main base of the Skull Gang was a massive mansion that was opposite the Blood Market which was run by multiple of the leading gangs in the Red Zone.
During times like this when there was no beast invasion or large-scale gang fights, the Skull Pugilist was chilling in his mansion like usual after a stressful expedition to the Great Dungeon Forest where he almost got stuck in a dungeon.
He laid down carefreely at the center of the garden in the mansion as he was attended to by 6 beautiful ladies who massaged his muscles, giving special attention to the little brother that was now rigid underneath his pants.
All of a sudden, he frowned and not long after that, the beautiful ladies looked to the right where one of the gang members came running in.
"What?" The Skull Pugilist's rough and ugly voice reverberated, irritated.
"Boss, a little trouble popped up".
The Skull Pugilist's face squinted in irritation. "How many times do I have to tell you not to bring little troubles to my attention anymore?"
"Boss, this one is worth your attention".
"It better be," He snorted. "Or you'll pay with your head".
After going through the report, he snorted again. "Humph, someone actually dares to target my prized warehouse, who is he?" He narrowed his eyes.
"Boss, it's a trio of newcomers. 5 random warriors in our gang confronted them and 4 of them ended up dying to one of them in just 2 seconds".
"As for the last of them, half of his lips was cut off while he was told to run here and tell us. According to him, 3 of them are already on their way here to the mansion".
The Skull Pugilist's eyes narrowed even further; he could already see the intentions of the 3 mystic warriors. "They intend to steamroll through my base to establish their standing in the city?"
"Yes boss".
"What rank are they?"
"The one who attacked seems to be their leader and is a peak Intermediate mystic warrior, the remaining 2 have a high chance of being of the same rank".
The Skull Pugilist sneered. "The nerve of them! Let them come to meet death, I'm waiting for them".
…
Though from the restaurant to the Blood Market only took 10 minutes, Rex and his 2 companions deliberately stalled for over an hour as the tension between both sides finally permeated into the Red Zone, attracting attention.
This was when they finally came out in the most high-profile manner possible. Rex, Aragorn, and Elanor walked out in the open straight towards the massive mansion as the Elven Princess already nocked her arrow.
Whoosh!
Without hesitation, Elanor released 3 arrows at once as 3 of the warriors who watched them from on top the mansion walls instantly lost their lives.
Everyone was stunned including the Skull gang warriors, they never expected such proactiveness, this was pure violence in display, there was no time for peace.
"Skull Ass, if you know that's your name, get your f*cking p*ssy out here!"
When living among criminals, behave like one to feel among. This was exactly what Rex did, to fully send a message across, this was necessary.
Killing 3 of their warriors was already a great nerve-racking action, with Rex's words, the proud warriors of the Skull Gang completely lost it.
"Who the f*ck is this bastard?"
"He thinks he can screw over with our Skull Gang?"
"Get him! Get that f*cker!"
As the riled-up warriors ran towards him, Rex raised his hand and switched on a mechanical device that Aragorn gave to him to amplify his voice.
The next moment, he smirked and spoke in a loud voice. "If the legendary Skull Ass is content with hiding like a scared p*ssy behind his meaningless warriors, then so be it, I'll gladly dine in their blood".
Shing!
"Shing!" Berserker yelled in anticipation as he anticipated the battle.
Once Rex unsheathed Berserker, he was about to start a sprint to begin the slaughter but a loud voice stopped him the next moment.
"Stop!" With the voice came a towering mystic warrior in Brown Barbarian clothes that looked like a Giant, the Skull Pugilist.
When the Skull Pugilist came forward and stood beside Rex with his massive Hammer, all the warriors of the Skull Gang laughed. At this moment, Rex was like a Dwarf before this massive fellow, he also laughed at the scene.
"Do you know what?"
"Huh?"
"Bring your head closer if you want to hear".
The Skull Pugilist was irked and amazed by the confidence being displayed by this swordsman, he leaned closer to hear what he had to say and this was where Rex did the impossible by grabbing this Giant's ear.
"This scenario kind of reminds me of the David and Goliath scenario".
"The guts!" The Skull Pugilist was thoroughly incensed by this act from the swordsman as he raised his massive Hammer and was about to smack him to death.
As he raised the hammer up, Rex said only one word. "Storm!"
The first thing that happened was the sky darkening, then a massive wind blowing across, everything happened in less than a second as the silhouette of a massive white beast flashed across.
Whoosh!
A moment ago, the Skull Pugilist was still glaring at the daring young man, the next, he felt his vision spinning as he first saw the blue skies, then the crowd of astonished warriors, then the brown earth, then finally darkness.
Rex's new transformed beast, Storm the Kamaitachi responded to the call on time as planned and assassinated the Skull Pugilist before he could react.
The Skull Pugilist's head was cleanly cut through by Storm's sharp nails.
Everyone was shocked senseless. "What the f*ck!!!"
