Chapter 24: Becoming Stronger (1/2)
”I'm not done yet”, Rex said while looking in Lucas's direction.
Adhara follows Rex's eyes and saw Lucas crawling on the ground bloodied all over.
Lucas is crawling trying to save his life! He saw how Rex killed a Rank Three Supernatural and comes out unscathed against the explosion.
'I must be dreaming, There's no way a non-awakened is that strong!', he thoughts while crawling away from the scene.
Tap!
Tap!
Tap!
Just as he was crawling, he heard footsteps not far away from him.
He got goosebumps just by hearing the footsteps, an ominous feeling dreaded over him from the back.
Lucas gritted his teeth and force his body to crawl faster but suddenly a foot stomp on his back making him unable to crawl further.
The foot stomp started to get heavier, ”Akhhk!!”, Lucas splurts another round of blood. He can feel his ribs is breaking from the pressure.
”FORGIVE ME! HAVE MERCY!! MERCY!!”, he pleaded pathetically.
The foot stops giving pressure, Rex walks to Lucas's front and squat in front of him.
Lucas struggles to look up to meet Rex's eyes, Rex looks down on him while smirking devilishly.
”Fine I'll forgive you, Let me help you sit down. Let's just forget about the past”, Rex said.
Lucas was smiling after getting a hint of hope, he replies, ”Yes, In the name of Lucas Platchi, I will forget about the past quarrel between you and me”
Rex smiles and helps Lucas sit down,
The body of an Awakened is way stronger than a normal human, Lucas who has multiple injuries that can kill a normal human may be able to survive.
While he was helping Lucas sits down, suddenly Rex staggered on his feet and falls unconscious just in front of Lucas.
Lucas's eyes widened in shock, his shocked expression turns instantly into a brutal smile.
He takes out a knife from his belt, ”HAHAHA, You piece of shit, I will definitely kill you!”, Lucas brings his knife upwards and stabs down intending to finish Rex off.
Then suddenly, Rex opens his eyes and caught the knife. His expression is still smiling while he caught Lucas's knife.
He stands up while maintaining eye contact with Lucas,
Lucas's face drains from color, a bead of sweats started to drop from his forehead under Rex's gaze.
Rex once again squats in front of Lucas and whispers in his ears, ”It seems Lucas Platchi, for you, the past is not the past”, he said with a smile that turns brutal in the next second.
Rex gripped Lucas's neck and held him in mid-air,
”Me *Akh* rcy, Please *Akh* One more chance”, Lucas said while struggling to breathe.
Without changing his expression, Rex snapped Lucas's neck with a twist of his hand.
CRACK!!
Lucas's struggle instantly stopped as Rex threw him away,
Adhara saw the scene and can't help to gulp, Rex is simply heartless at times.
Adhara saw at the top right of the barracks and saw a window, the moonlight shone down right on Rex decorating his already violent bearing.
'My suspicion is growing stronger, I still believe that Rex is not human. His temperament always changes during the night', she thought while looking at Rex's back.
After killing Lucas, he saw a row of notifications appear in front of him that makes his mouth quirked up.

Rows upon Rows of notifications appear in front of Rex that makes his eyes dizzy, he read each notification but he was stunt when he saw the last notification.
'An Evolution? System what do you mean of evolution?', just as Rex asked the system about it.
Instead of giving an answer the system replied,
