Still in Gaud's hideout, on seeing the system notification that lit up before him, Rex heaved a sigh of relief as a smile finally lit up his face.
From the level of intelligence that Gaud already revealed, Rex could not believe any word that came from this mystic warrior's mouth. Despite that, he still completely believed everything from his system.
With his system classifying the Stage 2 mission of the series mission as completed, Rex had no doubts that the mission was completed already.
After this, Rex tied the 18 warriors of Gaud's entourage together before finally taking his 2 transformed beasts out as he basked in their presence.
In the previous battle against Gaud, he really went all out as he had to strain and exert himself to a level that he had never done before.
Despite the strain on his body, he was happy. In his opinion, all the efforts were worth it since after this battle, he got to measure his strength against other powerful Advanced mystic warriors to know where he stood in the spectrum.
Though Rex also acknowledged his own hard work and discipline, he still attributed most of his achievements to his family's setup that helped him a lot.
Without becoming a Vampire through the inheritance ground, without his Blood Tome, Berserker, and other mystic treasures from his family, a lot of his achievements the previous day would have not been possible.
Things like the Vampiric Armor and the master level skills that he recently acquired and learned also played a huge role in his mighty strength display.
Of all these boosts though, Rex respected the Coffin of the Ancients the most. This mystic treasure was proving to be his best already.
As he caressed his 2 transformed beast's hides, Rex thought back on his journey since becoming a mystic warrior.
It was not exactly long but it had been filled with a lot of ups and downs already, he loved the adventures so far and the friends that he got to make along the way. Rex stayed like that, reminiscing for 30 minutes straight.
When he was finally done, he did not stand up to leave immediately.
He instead accessed his system as he wanted to spend some of the system currencies that he just gained from completing this series mission.
After the last and only time that he upgraded his constitution, the amount of constitution points that were required for an upgrade increased to 500.
Due to a lack of constitution points, Rex could not do this previously. But now, after this system mission, he could now afford it.
Having experienced it the first time, this time, Rex was prepared for it as he gagged his mouth before finally giving the order to his system. "Do it!"
[Affirmative!]
Rex was grateful for gagging his mouth as he would have really embarrassed himself, the pain caused beads of sweat to flow down his face.
The pain this time was much more intense than during the first time that he upgraded his constitution, he felt like his body was being dissected piece by piece.
For 10 minutes straight, it was like he was being tortured as his bones kept on making crackling sounds. When everything died down, Rex was drenched in sweat as he struggled to catch his breath.
When he did, he cursed in agony. "What the f*ck was that?!"
His system replied him with a notification.

On seeing the system notifications, the agony, pain, and anger of undergoing the upgrade process instantly vanished from Rex's mind as only contentment remained. His system was indeed the difference maker.
Compared to other mystic warriors, this was the ultimate inheritance that his family left for him that enabled him to come all this way.
"Probably this is what the Holmes family is so adamant to get". Rex reasoned as he thought of the numerous advantages of having the system.
With his 2nd constitution upgrade, his power experienced another great leap that would help him in his journey in the dangerous Gundam Shelter.
With that, Rex's business here was finally over as with Storm and Grey's help, he finally bundled all 18 of the Intermediate mystic warriors who they caught in the hideout before dragging them back to the Berserk Gang mansion.
On getting back to the mansion, Rex saw that repairs were already going on as he dragged all 18 warriors inside where they met their leader.
Seeing all his warriors bundled together and finally getting to see the 2 transformed beasts for the first time, Gaud sighed once again before saying a word that all the warriors here would forever remember.
Gaud looked at Rex and spoke. "I hate defeats but I surprisingly don't think so this time, it was an honor getting to fight you and being defeated by you".
By now, he already arrived at his conclusions, Princess Elanor and Aragorn played a huge part but Rex was the main reason why he lost.
Despite his flattering words though, Rex was not moved as alongside his 18 warriors, they were imprisoned in the Berserk Gang mansion.
Gaud and his 18 warriors may have said the same answer despite being in different locations, but Aragorn's mind was still not settled after such a close battle.
And as he did not have a system like Rex, he was not sure if Gaud already planned for a scenario where he lost. Because of this, Aragorn stressed the motion for the gang to remain alert and prepared for battle for the next 2 weeks.
Rex did not oppose the plan so as to not arouse suspicions.
…
2 weeks later, the Berserk Gang finally returned to normal.
Within these 2 weeks, not only was the gang able to repair all the damages that were caused by the battle but they already assimilated the Bat Gang completely. The Berserk Gang was already one of the biggest in the region.
Rex, Aragorn, and Elanor's notoriety and name became widely known across this region of the Gundam Shelter even as the name of the Bat Gang decayed.
Like Rex, Aragorn and Princess Elanor also benefited a lot from the battle.
Battles was the sure and verified way for mystic warriors to develop faster, and this was even more potent if this battle was against unconventional and powerful mystic warriors like Gaud.
Against Gaud, Aragorn and Princess Elanor were forced to make full use of their brain, their strength, and their skills just for a chance to win.
Against his invisibility mystic ability, they had to strain their brain and decision-making abilities just to cope with his strange ability.
After all these, they came out stronger and more developed. During the past 2 weeks, they digested their gains from the battle as they grew stronger as Advanced Mystic warriors.
Today marked 2 weeks since the battle, and the decision of what to do with Gaud and his warriors finally came. Over the weeks, they already spoke about it.
Rex looked at the other 2. "Like we said, Gaud cannot live". He continued on seeing them keep silent. "I'll be taking Gaud, every other loot including the mystic treasures can be shared between you both but Gaud is mine".
Princess Elanor and Aragorn were still confused at what Rex intended to do with Gaud, but they did not argue as they let him continue with his plans.
As for the 18 warriors in Gaud's entourage, unlike Gaud himself, they were simply following others which gave them a path of redemption.
Besides, some of them still respected Max and Stark Elden. Due to these reasons, their lives were spared as they were inducted into the gang.
As the others rummaged through the loot from the battle, Rex went to the part of the Berserk mansion where Gaud was imprisoned.
On seeing him, Gaud knew that his fate was already decided, he sighed. "Really? I can be of a lot of use to your gang alive".
"Point of correction, not you, all I need is your body".
Rex smiled and brought out a special coffin, causing Gaud to constrict his eyes. "You'll be of greater use to me after bathing inside this coffin".
Rex poured his mystic energy in and activated the coffin.
