"Today, you die!"
Scorpion felt a chill crawl down his spine. "We must save him!"
After over a decade of missions and patiently waiting, Scorpion thought that it was time to finally meet his precious little baby, he never expected Rex to survive his blow and come out even stronger from it.
By the second, as he looked at this powerful vampire, he could see his little chances of meeting his baby girl drifting farther and farther away from him.
After over a decade of waiting, he was tired of waiting, he could not wait again, it was today or never. "Nothing shall stop me!"
Scorpion roared as he stimulated his mystic energy.
"Don't do it!" Gandalf warned but it was already too late.
By feeding his blood to a strange scorpion parasite that he brought out of a precious storage pouch, Scorpion's eyes turned red and lifeless like a zombie.
In exchange for his rationality, he gained incredible zombie strength.
"Nothing shall stop me!" He roared and charged towards Rex.

By sacrificing all his blood to the parasite, Scorpion gained incredible powers for a short period of time while putting his life in danger as he charged towards Rex to end this struggle without a care for his life or death.
He gained power, but Rex's Ultimate Rage State was much more overpowered. At this moment, Rex was unbeatable.
As soon as Scorpion started charging towards him, the Beast-Human Harmony state took effect again as he controlled his transformed beasts like they were an extension of his body.
He activated their skills like he was playing a video game while his transformed beasts were his in-game characters.
Scorpion barely charged a few meters before he crashed into the beasts.
Storm got there first as he arrived with a storm accompanying him. Like an assassin riding a tsunami, he overwhelmed the human mystic warrior with his storm powers, providing opportunities for the other beasts.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that Storm provided, Grey charged in like a bulldozer by traveling through the Mist and crashing on him directly.
King was the cream on top the cherry, this King Dust Snake did what it was best at and its bloodline was renowned for, spreading damage and destruction.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The beasts battered him but Scorpion was not about to give up as he retaliated like a mad man, at this moment, he already lost his rationality to the parasite, he was like a beast and was controlled by his savage instincts.
Standing a few distance from the center of the battlefield, Gandalf watched. He turned to look at the teleportation portal and back at the battlefield.
He already understood their situation, he didn't know how Rex did it but in this current state, they had no chance of defeating the inevitable vampire.
This was his only chance to escape but seeing the pitiful state of his long-time companion and war comrade, Gandalf could not bring himself to escape.
"I've already lived a long enough life, I would never forgive myself if I abandoned Scorpion now".
"I'm too old for this". Gandalf brought a parasite that looked like a scorpion, identical to the one that Scorpion fed his blood to.
This was a last gasp measure that they saved from their days of adventures in the prime of their youth, Gandalf never expected to use it now.
Once the parasite drank his blood, Gandalf also turned into a living dead.
"Leave Scorpion alone!" This powerful energy blocker charged towards the beasts with all the venom and strength that he could muster.
The 3 beasts did not back down from the challenge, Rex did not also as he continued controlling them, and he also sent the assassin in the dark this time.

Gandalf made it on time to reinforce his companion, but only to attract the ire of the Wraith Warrior as Ambition spread its assassin properties.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
As this battle raged on with both warriors unable to interfere with his real body, Rex was finally able to swagger all the way to his real target.
Rex descended until he was barely hovering above Arthur Holmes, then he repeated the cold phrase hatefully. "Today, you die!"
Arthur and his female assistant were both petrified, unlike the others, they were mere Intermediate mystic warriors and stood no chance before Rex.
Whoosh!
Rex did not hesitate as he swung Berserker in one smooth motion to remove the head of the hateful lady that had haunted his dreams alongside Arthur.
On seeing the lifeless body of his companion falling down dead, Arthur shuddered as he wet his body unknowingly. He was embarrassed but his fear of death did not let him dwell on it as he sought for any route of survival.
He tried to send a distress signal only to discover to his despair that the eternal night covering this location blocked all signals incoming and outgoing.
In essence, he was trapped.
"P-please…" Arthur finally begged. "Spare my life…, I won't pursue you again I promise…"
"Plead with my ancestors in the afterlife". Rex grabbed him by the head and without hesitation squeezed as Arthur's head blossomed red, exposing the innards.
For some reason though, all the blood and innards started evaporating and everything started seeping into Rex's body.
His system lit up a notification almost instantly.
