The loud shriek of gigantic beasts reverberated through the desert.
Rex's 14-hour tour around Planet Tioron already started and he was determined to make the most out of it.
Having met them once, Rex made an easy decision to make his first priority visit the mighty Dalkins again. With his assembled group of young warriors, they spent over an hour searching before they finally found a group of Dalkins.
This time, they did not just meet young Dalkins.
There were 5 Dalkins in total, 4 young Dalkins and a much more massive Dalkin which they already recognized as the mother of the 4.
Adult Dalkins had at least Super grade mystic strength. Going against them was still an impossible task for the current Rex, but Rex did not have to since Dalkins were renowned for being extremely protective of their children.
Despite the savage and aggressive nature of this beast, this mother Dalkin was able to suppress its base instincts, Afterall, it was an intelligent race.
One of the passing grades of an intelligent race was the ability to restrain the baser instincts that made them beasts, self-control played a great role.
The mother Dalkin refrained from attacking as instead, it led the retreat so that all its children could survive.
Since the Dalkin race already went head-to-head against the Blood Spartan Tribe numerous times, they knew the danger that the vampires posed.
Despite their small size when compared to them, the vampires were famed for their ability to assassinate even through the most secure defensive formations. This mother tightly protected her children.
Instead of attacking the Dalkins as they escaped, Rex rather followed them. He was not here to kill them; he came to see the home of the Dalkins.
Perhaps, if his Blood Tome was here, he would have loved to make a Dalkin become one of his transformed beasts but unfortunately, this was not possible.
Rex and his group of 8 mystic warriors followed the Dalkin diligently until they finally arrived at their hideout. The home of the Dalkins were built upon massive sand dunes that were spread across the surface of the desert.
This was just one of the Dalkin settlements that were spread across Planet Tiron but this one alone was enough to steal Rex's breath.
On arriving here, Rex did not spend more than a minute before he escaped for his life, this region of the desert was stacked with dozens of adult Dalkins.
These octopus-like beasts were extremely territorial, staying in their territory was a daring idea that Rex had no intentions of trying to see its outcome.
Like he expected, with its children finally safe, the aggressive mother Dalkin turned back and faced them with the full fury that was characteristic of the Dalkin race. The mother Dalkin was not alone, others followed it.
The escape was all part of the adventure tour as Rex and his companions spent a few dozen minutes before the Dalkins finally lost them.
After the encounter with the Dalkins, following Rex's instructions, the group soon left to find and locate a group of Erodites.
Unlike the other 2 indigenous races in Planet Tioron, the Erodites were a little special, they were the out of the norm children of darkness.
They were accustomed to the shadows and the dark, mostly operating at night but they still formed some of the most dangerous groups in the planet alongside the other 2 indigenous races.
If the Dalkins and the Manians were the King of the day, they were the undisputed King of Planet Tioron's nightlife.
Meeting the Erodites opened Rex's eyes to an entirely new part of the mystic world about mystic beasts that he was previously unaware of.
The Erodites were like chameleons, but these reptilian beasts could not only change their color according to their environment, but they could also temporarily change their body structure if the need ever called for it.
The strongest Erodites could undergo temporary complete body transformations to look like humans, they were that bizarre.
Unlike the Dalkins, they had an entire Empire of their own that lived deep under the sand. They were rumored to have the biggest army on the planet.
After paying a caution visit to the Erodites, Rex finally diverted to the last of the 3 indigenous races on Planet Tioron, the Manians.
The Manians looked exactly like humans, with the only difference being that they were slightly taller and that they all had blue skin.
With these attributes, they were easily distinguishable from humans.
Like the Erodites, the Manians had an Empire of theirs that was erected above the sand. Having adapted to life without dying in the hostile planet, the Manians were the race with the greatest achievements in terms of technology.
Clan Head Goku speculated that their real origins were from earth. His theory was that like them, the Manians were dumped into Planet Tioron.
Unlike them though, perhaps due to one or more reasons, they lost their way of escaping this planet and left with no option, they could only adapt to living in the planet. Over time, they mutated to become their current appearance.
Not only did the Manians create shuttles to ferry themselves across the desert, but they also created weapons and other gadgets that elevated them to the status of the strongest race in all of Planet Tioron.
Armed with their weapons, the Manians were a great enemy to face in battle. They were also more than intelligent enough to employ battle strategies.
For the Manians, Rex was only able to see their Empire from afar. He dared not getting close least he risked getting range-attacked to death.
After the tour to see the Manians, Rex was able to have a deeper understanding of Planet Tioron and he also understood how great of a feat Clan Head Goku and his companions did to survive with such powerful enemies.
The more that he understood their struggles, the more he was determined to get them out of Planet Tioron to strive back on earth.
After the great tour, though Rex wanted to spend some more time in this planet to continue his exploration, he only had an hour and a few minutes remaining till his official 5th day expiration time reached.
During the last hour, he finally returned to the coven of the Blood Spartan Tribe alongside the group of 8 Advanced mystic warriors that he left with.
Inside the coven, he stood before all the vampires and simply waited.
Anticipation started running high among the vampires as the time counted, and in no time, the 24-hour mark to indicate Rex's 5th day here finally hit.
Instantly after the 24-hour mark reached, a rainbow light shone from above, illuminating the previously dark coven as Rex was engulfed in its middle.
On seeing the rainbow light, all the vampires paused as a look of awe and emotion filled their eyes. They were emotional because this was evidence of the actual existence of their ancestors who sent them to this planet.
All of them paid their respects as the rainbow light fully enveloped Rex, Rex did not have the time to say goodbye before he disappeared with the light.
Unlike the first journey, perhaps because he already did it once, it was not as dragged-out as Rex expected as he opened his eyes the next moment to see himself in the sky…, back on earth.
"Ahh…!"
…
After crawling out of the cave that he hid in for the past few days, like Ben expected, the battle was still raging among the contestants.
After every opening of Sword Saint Minato Musashi's inheritance ground, there was always a bloodshed as the mystic warriors who could not benefit much from the inheritance tried to benefit by stealing from the others.
The inheritance was actually the minor challenge, the real challenge after benefiting from the inheritance ground was surviving and escaping,
Instantly after the inheritance came to an end 5 days ago, a great battle broke out among the contestants as they fought themselves with the intention to kill. On that day, a lot of the contestants ended up losing their lives.
Ben fought hard but the battle was too chaotic and high-level to have full control over. He suffered a severe injury and had no choice but to go into hiding.
Despite his hiding though, his situation did not improve and only got worse. This was the reason why he decided to take the gamble to come out and fight.
Instantly after he came out, Ben's luck seemed to be at the lowest level that he had experienced all his life as he was exposed to battle again, he had no choice but to fight for his life.
After fighting right through a group of beasts that attacked him on emerging, other contestants were attracted by the sound and his life was in danger again just a few minutes after he emerged.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Ben tried his best but he only received more injuries. At this moment, 3 mystic warriors who allied together ganged up on him.
When it seemed that his fate was sealed, the sound of thunder suddenly reverberated in the clear skies then a black object started falling.
It was when the object got closer that they recognized it as a human.
All 4 mystic warriors were shocked, thinking that this was another contestant but it was when this mystic warrior after shouting in shock for about a few minutes suddenly transformed into a strange bat that Ben's eyes widened.
Rex landed awkwardly in the midst of this raging battlefield.
"F*ck!" He cursed as he rubbed his butt.
These 2 friends had their reunion in the weirdest of ways.
Ben blurted out. "Rex?!"
