Hiss!
Up in the skies, Cassandra hissed like a snake as she finally revealed her true form for the first time since being reborn in the past.
Without anyone knowing, in her new body, she already advanced and became an intermediate mystic warrior while still keeping a low profile.
Cassandra had the Ancient Python bloodline all the way from her previous life. Through a secret technique that she used after being reborn, she was able to make her new body gain the affinity to awaken this ancient bloodline.
Now, she revealed her real abilities in public for the first time.
Unlike her previous basic grade sword, Cassandra now wielded a Super Grade sword that pushed her mystic energy control to the very limits.
She donned a light leather Super Grade armor, while every other equipment that she wore was an advanced grade mystic treasure.
Still in mid-air, she activated a skill as her tongue became long, jutting out of her mouth before shooting towards the Scorpion like a stinger.
Boom!
The notorious assassin, Scorpion dodged the deadly attack as his yellow eyes started glowing the next moment. Without saying a word, his grip on his advanced grade sword became tighter as he sprinted towards this unknown lady.
Once Cassandra descended, a mighty battle started.
As soon as they clashed, it easily became evident that despite her ancient bloodline and her Super Grade mystic treasures, Scorpion still firmly held the upper hand as this powerful assassin battered her black and blue.
Despite being on the losing side, Cassandra was never flustered as she revealed such skill and battle experience that was far above her level.
Her eyes were as calm like a warrior who already seen a thousand battles.
The fight between those 2 only lasted seconds though it seemed like a long time, and this was more than enough time for Rex and Arthur to recover.
Having been pushed so close to death already and barely surviving, instead of being traumatized, knowing that a descendant of the killers of his ancestors was before him, Rex instead took this near-death experience as motivation.
His eyes glowed a golden color the next moment as his desire for revenge bloomed more than ever before like unquenchable fire.
[You have activated Special Vampire Ability: Morphing!]
[Morphing Forms available: 1.]
[You have transformed into a Half-bat!]
[You have opened Mystic Weapon: Blood Tome, Oath of the Ancients!]

[You have activated Mystic Effect: Life Drain- Killing Touch!]
[Warning! Your mystic energy has reduced below 10%!]
Though this was day, Rex could still transform into a Half-bat.
As he transformed, Arthur was alarmed as he intended to retreat a bit but Rex was faster as with vengeful eyes, his bat legs raised up before grabbing the hooded young man back towards him.
Before Arthur could react, a tome appeared in Rex's left hand as its pages started flipping open by themselves before stopping at a certain page.
The next moment, the book floated without support as Rex's left hand touched him. Arthur's breath froze as he experienced a kind of cold unlike, he had never experienced all his life.
His chest where Rex's left hand touched became covered in ice.
Even as Arthur struggled to free himself, another mystic effect took place as his blood started being drained rapidly out of his body. Every second, he lost blood, and in the process his health points.
This was not all, Rex took it a step further as the life drain took effect. Instantly, Arthur felt like his heart stopped working.
He aged a few years on the spot as his vitality was drained away.
In the blink of an eye, Arthur came extremely close to instant death.
By activating the life drain mystic effect, Rex's mystic energy was sucked like water but he did not give a damn as all his attention was on getting his revenge.
Once the life drain mystic effect stopped, Rex released his opponent as the Blood Tome disappeared, Berserker finally had the opportunity to help his master seek vengeance as the sword stabbed forward with lethal danger.
All 3 mystic effects affected Arthur too much, he could not react to this attack but his clansman, the lady who stood to Scorpion's right previously reacted on time.
Everything that happened from Cassandra's arrival till now was still measured in seconds even though so much already happened, but this lady finally reacted.
Whoosh!
As Rex's sword stabbed at Arthur, her dagger stabbed towards him in return. Despite seeing the danger, Rex did not dodge, an injury for an injury, a scar for a scar, he was ready to suffer this much to get his revenge.
Ptui!
Rex was stabbed in the chest close to his heart as his sword stabbed into Arthur's abdomen, Arthur finally reacted and retreated.
The dagger did not get Rex's heart, Rex lived.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The hooded lady did not let him rest as she clashed with him, this was where Rex's horrifying basics as a mystic swordsman who already unlocked his sword domain came into play, he parried all her attacks and retaliated.
Once Arthur recovered and understood what happened, his eyes blazed from his hood in anger and humiliation as he finally brought his main weapon.
Having been so close to death, to recover his vitality and fight, he brought a bottle from his storage ring before drinking its contents as both his vitality and mystic energy recovered in just a few seconds.
Arthur's mystic Spear was surrounded with tyrannical blue mystic energy as he charged toward his opponent the next moment, the assassins who perched on the fence around the house also reacted at this moment.
Against so many enemies, Rex stood no chance of winning but not even once did he think of giving up as he was adamant about getting his revenge.
If he was going to die today, he would do it like a man.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
With his mystic energy exhausted, Rex could only defend but his basics stood strong as he fought against more than 20 opponents alone.
For 2 minutes, Rex stood his ground as his mystic energy slowly recovered but these 2 minutes were more than enough for Scorpion to emerge victorious. It was already a miracle that Cassandra survived for so long against him.
Rex heard her groan as she was flung to the side, then he saw the yellow eyes that struck fear in his heart staring in his direction again.
Whoosh!
Before Rex could react, the Scorpion accelerated before arriving beside him the next moment as the Kunai knife was stabbed straight through his heart.
Rex did not die immediately, as a mystic warrior, his vitality was strong as he held on and this presented the opportunity for Arthur to come to finish the deed.
Once again, Arthur touched his head as he experienced the familiar fear of his mystic ability about to be sucked away but like before, something interfered.
"Scorpion! What the f*ck are you doing in my domain?"
Bam!
The Butcher Mama jumped over the fence and landed with the force of a bulldozer as a mini earthquake seemed to be induced that disturbed Arthur's concentration, Scorpion turned, shocked and annoyed.
"Mad Butcher?"
"Yes, it's me f*cker! What are you doing in my domain?"
The huge middle-aged advanced mystic warrior did not come alone, Principal Dominic and the Wandering Moon Queen followed her here.
Scorpion did not answer as his yellow eyes scanned all 3 of his opponents.
"Arthur, Run!"
Instantly, Arthur and the lady accompanying him tried to teleport out of this zone but they could not, anti-teleportation means were already employed.
The only way out of this was through battle, the old way!
