After looking at his system notification, Rex felt his heart dying more.
Still in a daze, he looked down at the mystic warrior that he just killed. As he looked down at Max's corpse, a lot of things went through Rex's mind.
In one hand, he felt that he just rid the world of a demonic mystic warrior that if left alone was ready to annihilate the whole world in his creed just to get power but on the other hand, he feel empty after killing Max.
Having lived Max's full life in just a few seconds, Rex could no longer look at this villain the same way. He wished he never got to experience the traumatic life.
For a long time, he saw his life as a tragedy. Losing his parents at the tender age of 5, living alone till the age of 15 when he finally won a scholarship into Obedin Mystic Academy then the eventful life that followed after that.
From being bullied on a daily basis to not being able to awaken mystic energy, to awakening mystic energy and learning of his family curse.
Becoming a vampire and witnessing the scene of his whole ancestors being annihilated, Rex thought he already witnessed the peak of tragedy until he saw this.
His view of the mystic world experienced a huge change after the experience.
Max experienced even more traumatic and tragic encounters than him, all the pain and trauma shaped him into the merciless villain that he later became.
Max's approach was wrong but Rex couldn't bring himself to blame him.
"Haha". He laughed. "Will Max go to hell or heaven?"
Rex left the crime seen and locked the cage door but he could not leave as he leaned against the wall in thought. "Is this how I was in my other life?"
As he thought back to how Cassandra described him previously, he could not help but think. Perhaps, like Max, he was unable to get friends who made him develop a reason for living, instead he directed his hate at the whole world.
"If not for Cassandra, would I have ended up like this?"
Rex clenched his fists as an unquenchable hate arose in his heart. "The mystic world system is the cause of all this, it's already ingrained".
He never thought about it previously but thinking back now, after the advent of mystic energy, the world just kept on degrading into lawlessness.
Powerful warriors could now take laws into their hands and perpetrate evil. The Holmes family was an example of this unbridled use of power, perhaps even the Vector family was once like this.
Using Max's family as an example, thinking of the suffering that normal humans suffered at the hands of mystic warriors left Rex breathless.
"Are we still humans?!" He questioned with gritted teeth.
Rex's anger and hate bred a new conviction in him at this moment.
For the first time in all his life since he became a mystic warrior, he developed another goal. "I will change the mystic world system". Rex vowed.
Since he was already pitted against enemies that stood at the pinnacle of the mystic world, he felt no harm in adding an even greater ambition for himself.
"I will use Max's Creed to change the mystic world system".
Rex had no intention to kill innocent souls, he knew that Max was wrong in his approach but his goal was not wrong. To bring peace to this world, Rex was ready to oppose all the perpetrators of the current evil.
It took some time before he was able to recover his calm again.
After taking deep breaths, Rex picked up his communication device. "Aragorn, send in a unit to clean up Max's corpse".
"Bury him, I will address the gang later in the evening".
With that, Rex kept the communication device before sheathing his sword and going to his next destination. It took him less than 3 minutes to arrive.
Rex inserted the key and twisted.
…
Inside the cold and dark prison, 2 mystic warriors sat cross-legged and meditated. They were both so silent that they seemed detached from the world.
The next moment, Scorpion opened his eyes. "He's here".
Click!
Almost at the same time that he spoke, the door opened.
This time, Rex was not attacked on entering inside the cage. On entering, the first thing that he did was switching on the lights to see the 2 prisoners.
As he observed them, they also observed him then Scorpion spoke. "You finally woke up".
Rex did not answer him rather he asked a question. "Do you like the current system? Do you approve of the current system of the mystic world?"
"…"
Gandalf finally opened his eyes as he looked at Rex then Scorpion asked. "Why the sudden question?"
"I just wanted to know your answer". Rex walked closer before sitting cross-legged opposite them. "Max Fury is dead".
"I killed him".
"He asked me to kill him after bestowing his life goal to me".
"Before we talk, I want to know what your answer is".
"Do you approve of the current system of the mystic world?"
Scorpion thought for a few minutes and answered. "I…"
