Chapter 3: Medal of Honour and System (1/2)

Somewhere in the woods,

*Cough* *Cough*

Rex was lying on the ground looking at the night sky,

He can't move any parts of his body, all of the bones on Rex's body are broken. His right shoulder becomes more bloodied because of the explosion, and his right arm and leg are burnt from the explosion.

Despite his state, Rex's eyes didn't show any remorse.

He tried to assess his body to no avail, he can't move his neck. Rex saw fire engulfing the surrounding trees, luckily or unluckily he is in the middle of an empty field that has quite a bit of distance from the tree.

”Whew, how did I survive that? I should've died. I can't hear a thing, my hearing is probably busted from the explosions” he muttered weakly.

His neck is broken too, so it tilts to the left,

Looking at the piles of burnt ghouls, Rex is delighted. He can't help but crack a smile especially when he saw the King of Ghoul lifeless.

'In the end, you fail to run away Haha. I have no regret now *Cough*'

Rex slowly closes his eyes, accepting death that is an inch away from taking his life.

As he closes his eyes, suddenly a flash of the furred-monster smiling devilishly while eating his parents crosses his mind.

His eyes opened abruptly, 'I can't die! That bastard is still alive!'

He tried to fight the helpless situation with sheer determination but, he can't do anything. His broken body didn't respond to his will.

'I just can't die yet! please! someone, anyone! help me!'

'Dear God above, please hear my prayer. Please, don't let me die yet. I still want revenge!'

'Please'

Silence...

The night seems chillingly silent, or it is just Rex's senses?

Rex is desperate, he can feel that he will not survive the next minute.

'If God can't help me then,'

'Devil! Help me live! I'll give you anything'

'Take my soul! Take anything you want!'

Just as Rex finishes his prayer, the seemingly silent night trembles.

Rex looks up to the sky, the half-crescent moon seems to gaze at him back but he quickly denied it.

Rex laugh dryly, ridiculing himself, 'Saved by the God? Saved by the Devil? As if they still exist since the emergence of Supernaturals. In the end, only death awaits me'

The half-crescent moon that decorates the sky suddenly shot a blue beam heading towards Rex.

Before Rex can even process what is going on, The beam struck him.

He starts to feel dizzy,

<binding the=”” host=”” body=””></binding>

<accepting the=”” blessing=”” of=”” the=”” moon=””></accepting>

Rows of notification appear in front of Rex,

Rex's eyes are heavy from the dizziness, he didn't even notice the hologram notification.

Just before he lost consciousness, the last rows of notifications appear.

<successfully assimilate=”” with=”” the=”” invincible=”” full-moon=”” system=””></successfully>

<congratulations on=”” becoming=”” a=”” we...=””></congratulations>

Before the notification finishes, Rex passed out.

----

An hour later, the retrieving team arrived at the woods.

”There are two corpses, Kyle and Rex. Based on the information, Kyle is on the west side before the cemetery. Unit Five will be taking Kyle while my unit will be searching for Rex around the cemetery” said a woman wearing full-on gear, her slender frame is the only thing distinguishable from a guy.

Unit Five leader nods his head and starts searching to the west, while the woman signals her unit to scatter around the cemetery.

During the search, there are still some ghouls that are still alive but quickly dealt with.

At first, the woman has some hope that Kyle or Rex is still alive. She wanted to thank them, because of them the casualties in Dwight City reduce to almost half.

But looking at the place,

Mountain of ghoul's corpse, some corpse even scorched to black, The devastating effect of the explosion, 'That's only a wishful thinking' she sighs sadly.

Just as she about to go back thinking that the corpse is probably black and can't be identified, she saw a lonely human-shaped corpse far away from the other.

She slowly walks towards the corpse,

Arriving in front of the corpse, She gasps in surprise!

'How can his body didn't get burnt? Although he is bloodied all over, he is not in a really bad shape' she thought, surprised to see Rex's body that should've been in a worse state.

Then something came in the woman's mind, 'Maybe... Just Maybe...'

She approached the corpse, she opens Rex's eyes and shone it with light.

'Although his eyes are red, He's pupil is contracting', A glimpse of hope came to the woman as he further checks Rex's breathing.

The woman steps back in surprise, 'He's Alive!!'

She looks back towards the cemetery and Rex, 'That is about two and fifty meters and he's still alive?! Is he one of the Purifiers?' she shakes her head after looking at Rex once more.

”Found Rex's body, meet up at the rallying point” *Beep*

----

Slowly, Rex opens his eyes and his vision started to adjust to the surrounding.

His head is still hurting, unconsciously he raises his hand and rubs his head to ease the pain. As he lifted his hand, he suddenly realizes that he can raise his hand.

Rex notices that he's not in the woods anymore,
