Kaboom!!
A powerful collision happened as Rex and Prince Leif clashed head-on.
Both of their claws collided—sparking tongues of kingly energies that lashed out and struck the surroundings. Due to the overwhelmingly, massive amount of energy—their sharp claws were trembling uncontrollably creating a sharp stinging pain.
Rex and Prince Leif made eye contact in the midst of their clash.
One bore a playful grin while the other was filled with anger.
Parrying the claws, Rex made a somersault backward and landed strongly on his two feet.
I have all I need about them.
Smirking as his menacing aura flared—Rex lowered his stance and raised both of his fists—a battle stance that he always assumed even back when he was still in the military. He already registered the fighting styles of these three royals, and now was time for domination.
Prince Leif was the fastest and also the leader.
Princess Selene was the most agile and had troublesome supporting abilities.Prince Alaric was the brawn and could take a lot of hits.
Despite their immense experience in fighting, coming from an era of total war, Rex knew that the advantage modern Humans had against them was still prominent. Unlike the Werewolves that were physically gifted, modern Humans are not.
Because of that, martial arts and combat knowledge were more prominent in this era.
Stay connected with empire
Rex could see that the royals had no sense of that, their fighting style was akin to beasts.
"Come!" Rex shouted, taunting the three royals with his hand.
Upon seeing this, they wasted no time and rushed as one, deciding to attack in a union.
Allowing no such thing to happen, Rex eyed the floating rocks around them, falling in—slow motion before he made his move. He infused his red force energy into five rocks, increasing their weight before he kicked them one by one at sprinting Prince Alaric.
Bam!
Bam!
Flying like bullets, the rocks crashed against Prince Alaric, pushing him back with each hit.
Glancing to another side, Rex saw Prince Leif was nearing him.
Sparing not a second to Prince Alaric, Rex stomped the ground with such force that even the earth itself seemed to quake in response. In a second, the earth in front of him began to peel away like a colossal, stone-hewn curtain.
Brak!
A massive, castle-sized slab of land surged upward, groaning as it tore free from the ground.
It raised and shielded Rex, blocking Prince Leif's advancement.
Rex did it seamlessly, everything was thought out in his head before he made the move.
Upon seeing that Prince Leif was blocked by the massive slab of land, casting a shadow over him, Princess Selene wanted to stop, and wait for him. Attacking Rex together would be best, going in alone would be foolish.
Just then, however, she instantly stood ready when Rex's gaze shifted towards her.
"Hmph! So you decided to aim at me first?" She muttered in ridicule.
Compared to the others, she was the most agile and was the best at buying time but despite that Rex decided to aim her first. Princess Selene's pupils dilated—when she saw Rex charge towards her with incredible speed, aided by the Primordial Step skill.
"Honey Rush!" Princess Selene cast as she leaped back to create some distance.
But in the next second, Rex blasted his red force from his feet, propelling him even faster.
He managed to reach Princess Selene in a couple of steps.
Raising his claws struck down vertically, but Princess Selene was slippery—she was able to move unnaturally fast—when the sharp claws were about to reach her. Not stopping at that Rex pressed on, reaching his claws to grab Princess Selene.
Even then, his reaches were easily avoided by Princess Selene.
"Is running all you can do, princess...? I guess the rumor about you being the weakest is true"
"Pathetic taunt would do nothing to me, you have to do better than that"
Crash!
Slamming his claws once again, Rex missed, but he stabbed his other hand, into the ground and pulled out a massive rock the size of a two stories house. Rotating his torso—he leaped high with the massive rock above his head, its size shadowing Princess Selene below.
Not to mention, his red force also influenced it, making it weigh ten times more than normal.
One hit from that and even Princess Selene would be hurt.
Crash!!
Rex dunked it straight at Princess Selene, but she dodged—leaving behind an empty, yellow shell of herself while her actual self got thrown back hard. The massive rock shattered—and Princess Selene frowned when she saw a smirk on Rex's face.
Just before she could react, her ears perked, hearing a crackling coming from above.
Lifting her gaze skywards, her eyes widened seeing a bolt of black lightning striking down.
Crack!
Blitz!
Glancing to Princess Selene who was struck by the black lighting strike, unable to move in time, Rex smiled before his spirit energy surged from his spirit core—and all the way to his hand, sparking electricity along the way, "Ether Blink!"
Crack!
Not knowing what was happening, Princess Selene grunted as she disappeared.
She was turned into an extract of lightning.
Rex then extended his hand, and straightened his spine, before another lightning strike came from above, striking his hand before Princess Selene reappeared, but she was now within the clutch of his hand.
Feeling Rex's claws pressing against her neck, Princess Selene's eyes widened.
"How did you-?!" She muttered in shock.
Upon hearing this, Rex's smirk broadened, exposing his sharp fangs.
"Did you forget? I'm also a Human besides a Werewolf" Rex replied with a prideful tone.
Knowing how slippery Kassandra was and how she also possessed the Honey Moon powers, Rex didn't hesitate to electrocute Princess Selene, fiercely. His black lightning bursts—with a high voltage of power, causing the princess to grit her teeth, veins popping on her skin.
It was only then did he raised his other hand, a swirl of sparkling energy swirling on it.
At the sight of this sparkling energy, however, Princess Selene was shocked.
"Origin energy...?" She muttered in horror.
Rex grinned as he possessed the Origin energy through the Unholy Claws of the Reaper skill.
Even though he couldn't control it, every time he used the skill he could use it.
Menacingly, Rex pulled her close to his face, eyes filled with a crazy light, "I know how much you took pleasure in killing my Betas earlier. Unfortunately, I couldn't do, what you did—but I could do it to you instead of your Betas. I'm still a young Werewolf and I'm new to—all of this so as someone older, shouldn't you teach me things?"
"Teach me something like what a female Werewolf tastes like?" He whispered.
Grinning, Rex let go of Princess Selene's neck and swiped his claws.
Slash!
"Rarrgghk!"
Princess Selene reached for her left arm and found that it was not there.
Raising her gaze—she saw Rex was holding her bloodied severed arm and putting it all in one go into his mouth with his eyes closed—as if he was seriously trying to know, what it tasted like.
Munching on the arm, squirting blood to the roof of his mouth, Rex's lips trembled.
He gulped it all down before opening his eyes again.
<Notice: The user's physical stats have been increased slightly!>
"Ahh... Now that I've tasted you, I'm tempted to keep you as food stock," Rex muttered lightly—his gleaming crimson eyes looking at Princess Selene once again. "Go on then, regenerate, stop the bleeding, and fight me again. This is only the beginning"
Upon hearing this, Princess Selene bared her fangs and crawled back slowly.
'He struck me with Origin energy, it's hard for me to heal from that' She pondered inwardly.
Her severed arm was steaming, but the rate of the heal was much slower.
Seeing this, Rex's expression shifted into a genuine surprise as he tilted his head.
Out of nowhere, he suddenly also severed his own arm, with his claws and threw his severed arm away while still looking at Princess Selene dead in the eyes. But to the princess' surprise—Rex's severed arm instantly regenerated, "I can regenerate from the same attack, as easily as that. You're one of the Royals—right? You are a princess, right? Then what are you doing? Regenerate!
Stand up and keep fighting!"
Princess Selene gulped harshly when she saw this.
She shuddered at Rex's maniacal look as he waited for her, 'He's- He's completely insane!'
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield.
The Dancing Stripe Pack was in peril, their minds were all over the place at the surprise from the Silverstar Pack that somehow survived their duel earlier. Even though Riona had her own suspicion, the others were sure that the Silverstar Pack was dead.
But like a zombie, all of them reappeared.
Not to mention, the Silverstar Pack now displayed their true powers.
All of them turned into their Werewolf form, boasting their incredibly powerful bloodlines.
One that was struck by the shock the most was Fiona.
She stumbled forward and fell to the ground when a violent shockwave erupted, but then, as she recovered—she slowly pivoted her gaze to her back and saw a horrifying sight. Even her cold demeanor and arrogance were nowhere to be seen.
Located behind her was none other than her match for the duel, Kyran.
Unlike before, Kyran had turned into a four-eyed monster.
His breezing aura was akin to a thousand sharp needles stabbing the surface of Fiona's skin.
Kyran easily surpassed her power and went even beyond.
'It's not possible...' Fiona pondered, her breath stuck in her throat. 'I have the blessing of her Highness—and I trained under the moon for four hundred years and yet... he surpassed me? He surpassed me enough to make me feel this small?!'
Fiona didn't want to believe it, the gap between them shouldn't be this wide.
Moreover, she was hundreds of years older than Kyran.
Kyran was a toddler compared to her and yet he exuded power beyond her comprehension.
Realizing the situation, Fiona began crawling back instinctively, 'I need to run!'
Just as she thought of that, wanting to flee as she had no chance and would certainly die if she stayed—her heart skipped a beat when Kyran's gaze pierced through the distance, and landed on her.
Shing!!
"Argghk!" Fiona grunted, a sharp pain assaulting her hand.
Lifting her gaze she found an ice spike stabbed through the palm of her right hand.
It was extremely painful, the ice enhanced the pain and trapped her in place.
Fiona's free hand trembled uncontrollably—waving aimlessly beside the one impaled—by the ice spike. She didn't know what to do, the searing pain was unbearable, not the freezing cold she had expected but a scorching agony that sent tears streaming down her face.
She couldn't break free, and the panic made it hard for her to control her moonlight energy.
Desperate—Fiona turned to her mother, Riona, who had witnessed the horror unfold and was about to rush to her aid. But before Riona could take a step, a massive—yet thick block of ice materialized, cutting off her path.
A violet serpent, swift and ruthless, lashed out with its tail from the side.
Riona was sent hurtling across the battlefield, a burning mark marred her face.
Separated from her mother, Fiona's sobs grew louder, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.
Nobody was around to help her, it was total chaos, and the thought of dying froze her blood.
Crash!
Just as despair began to consume her, a figure landed in front of her.
Fiona's breath hitched when she saw who it was, Kyran.
Kyran towered over her, looking down with a murderous smile.
"D- Don't come near! " She warned through her ragged breaths. "Do you know who I am?!"
Before she could say another word, however, Kyran already grabbed her head with his claws, eyes glistening with malice. It was only then did Fiona realized she couldn't threaten Kyran to let her go, "W- Wait... Don't- Don't kill me"
Upon hearing this, Kyran's smile broadened as he chuckled.
Pausing for a second—recalling something, "The dead's words don't mean a thing," He said, reciting the words Fiona said to him before he was killed earlier. "Also, don't even try to beg, I'm not degrading myself to that level..."
At those words, all color was drained from Fiona's face.
She realized that this was it for her.
