Chapter 73: Rex vs Zegrath (1/2)
Rex's body trembles as he looks at the figure in front of him, absolute anger within him slowly awaken from its slumber.
He doesn't know if it's the hatred buried within him or the Lunar Blessing, but either way, it is not far away from exploding.
Zegrath is standing right in front of him with an ugly expression, Zegrath's bloodthirsty look bore a deep hatred towards Rex or rather, humans.
Zegrath grinds his teeth, ”What are you? Why do you have our scent!”
Hearing this, Rex smiles evilly, ”I don't know what you're talking about, but maybe it's because I just killed one of you?”
”IMPOSSIBLE!!”, Zegrath denied it immediately.
In his eyes, Rex's power is not even comparable to an Omega like him, let alone to the other Werewolves.
Rex notice Zegrath is already itching for a fight, his eyes glisten as he sees Zegrath's stats,
<zegrath></zegrath>
Race: Werewolf - ????
Power: Peak Rank Four - Night Crawler
Mental: 55
Strength: 120
Agility: 72
Endurance: 80
After seeing Zegrath's stats, Rex felt confident fighting against him.
Rex's current power is around early and mid-rank four, it is way lower from Zegrath but adding with the lunar blessing 100% increase he got, he can stand toe to toe with peak rank four or even early rank five!
Zegrath with only peak rank four power will not be his match if there are no mishaps.
”You damned humans!! I WILL KILL YOU!!”, Zegrath roared, he musters his power and lunge towards Rex.
Swoosh!
His speed is fast, at least as fast as Rex.
Rex didn't stay idle, he also lunges towards Zegrath with a white hue on his right hand as he sent a punch.
The fist is just a couple of inches away from Zegrath but suddenly Zegrath tilted his body to the side, the attack misses completely throwing Rex off balance.
Taking advantage of Rex's carelessness, Zegrath swings his claw and scratches Rex's chest.
SLASH!
”Arghh!”, Rex grunts in pain.
Because of underestimating his opponent, Zegrath manages to land a hit on Rex.
ROAR!
Rex roared before he dashes towards Zegrath,
This time, Zegrath welcomed Rex's punch with his.
Looking at this, Rex smiles brutally knowing that his strength is way higher than Zegrath.
BAM!!
The fists collided sending shockwaves to the surrounding, the clear winner was evident as Zegrath flung away like a broken doll before crashing to the nearby house.
The claw injury on Rex's chest is starting to heal, whilst Zegrath recovers from Rex's attack.
They both stare at each other hatefully before resuming the fight,
It is becoming even more brutal, they both slash, bite, and punch each other without even bother dodging. The fight shows how much they despise each other, they face the attacks head-on.
BAM!
Rex got punched on his face, although his punch is stronger it is still heavy.
He got dazed for a moment,
Zegrath didn't let go of this opportunity, he flashes and stabs Rex again on his stomach making him spit blood.
SLASH!
Before Rex can even recover, he saw a fist flying to his face from below.
BOOM!
His world is spinning, 'How could I lose to him? He's fucking weaker than me!!', Rex thought in anger, he's currently engulfed in anger.
”YOU BASTARD!!”, Rex shouted, his body bulge with muscle there is a blue current suddenly appeared around his body.
Zegrath can feel the increase in power, 'Human skinned Werewolf, and an Awakened too?!'
Rex flashes from his spot, out of nowhere, a fist landed solidly on Zegrath's face.
The punch was heavier than Zegrath anticipated, it becomes at least 20% stronger than before! He spits a mouthful of blood as he screeched away.
Rex's eyes burned with anger, he approaches Zegrath who is lying on the ground.
He sits on Zegrath's chest before starting to pound Zegrath, ”YOU!!”
BAM!!
”WEREWOLVES!!”
BAM!!
”KILL!!”
BAM!!
”MY PARENTS!!”
BAM!!
Rex keeps pounding Zegrath who lies helplessly on the ground, the pent-up anger in his heart starting to pour out of him.
”HOW DARE YOU!!”
Rex intertwine his hands together, he clenched it hardly and swung them down aiming at Zegrath's face but suddenly something unexpected happened,
BAM!!
The punch that supposed to land on Zegrath's face suddenly got held by him,
It stopped mid-track, Rex wanted to pull it back but Zegrath held it strongly as if Rex's hand was held by a giant so strong that he can't move an inch.
”Kill your parents?”, Zegrath said slowly, his body suddenly emits a red aura.
The red aura is different from the red aura Jarvald has, it is darker and more evil than anything Rex has ever felt before.
Feeling the changes on Zegrath,
Rex jumped backward creating distance between them, he widened his eyes in shock.
He saw Zegrath with an overwhelming dark red aura, 'What happened? How come his aura is rising by the seconds?', Rex thought.
Zegrath's aura keeps rising, his peak rank-four power suddenly jumped! He even enters early rank five!!
”How dare I? HOW dare I? HOW DARE I?”
BOOOM!!
Zegrath sent a shockwave of aura that almost pushed Rex back, the aura behind Zegrath suddenly turns into a dark red figure.
The dark red figure is huge, it has two horns coming out of its head, its head is on fire and its body is covered by its two huge wings. It looks like a demon-like figure that came out of the seventh hell itself.
'What is that?!', Rex thought in surprise, he didn't expect Zegrath's sudden rise in power.
