Chapter 100: Shapeshifter (1/2)
Tap!
A hand suddenly grabbed Rex's shoulder, he jumped in surprise.
Rex jumped away and landed a few meters away from the figure behind him, his heart is thumping as he laid his eyes on the figure.
The figure is a guy wearing a Faraday University uniform that is covered by a brown hood, he's small and scrawny but he emitted an aura that even Rex felt pressured.
Rex's senses are on full alert,
It's not just the figure's aura that makes him alert but the figure got behind Rex without him even noticing, this is the first time anyone manages to do this.
It is seen clearly judging from the long slender fingers of the figure, he's definitely a Supernatural.
Rex's eyes glister as the figure's stat appear,
<syn></syn>
Race: Pale Shapeshifter
Power: Rank Five(Peak) - ???
Mental: ???
Strength: ???
Agility: ???
Endurance: ???
Intelligence: ???
Seeing this, Rex becomes even more certain, 'This guy is strong! Peak Rank Five is not something I can defeat', he thought.
”Hello there, nice to meet you fellow friend”, Syn said, all of Syn's body and even voice is that of a human except for his long slender fingers.
Rex is backing away slowly, he trusts his senses and all of his senses are telling him to run.
'Fellow friend? Did he come here because of the day when I turn Adhara into a half-Werewolf?', Rex thought.
He then opened his mouth and said, ”Why are you here?”
”How can a Werewolf like you live amongst humans, how did you get that body?”, Syn said, he completely ignore Rex as he studied Rex up and down.
'So the Supernatural finally found me, they came to me to determine my position between the human and the Supernatural', Rex knows this day will come but he didn't expect it to come this soon.
Meeting an intelligent Supernatural is not what he's looking for, especially a high-rank one.
”Why should I tell you? Why should I tell a shapeshifter like you?”, Rex said, his eyes darted left and right trying to find something or an opening to escape.
He decided to try and act like a Werewolf, it is at least what he can do right now.
Rex cursed himself to be alone in this place,
There's no CCTV around this area, it is completely blind in this garden.
Syn tilted his head weirdly, his human eyes suddenly turn black hollow, ”You caught on quick, my name is Syn from the Conversion. I'm here to judge whether you're a friend or foe”
From the way he talks, Rex can tell that Syn is a proud shapeshifter.
Hearing this, Rex answered, ”Only one Supernatural that can turn into almost a perfect human, so it not that hard to guess. A bastard like you is what we Werewolf hate”
Syn walks circling Rex slowly, he chuckles lightly, ”Hate? You said you hate Shapeshifters?”
Rex stepped back unconsciously, he can feel Syn's aura becomes violent all of a sudden.
He's ransacking his brain in panic, 'Did I say something wrong? Why did he suddenly become hostile as if he's seeing his natural enemy'
Syn's eyes glanced sharply, ”So, you're from the human side? a spy created by the human?!”
”What do you mean? I'm not on the Human side!”, Rex shouted, he can feel the tension filling the air.
The wind is fluttering roughly as if there's a storm about to burst.
Syn black hollow eyes become darker, he looks at Rex sharply, ”Werewolf and Shapeshifters have no hostile history with each other, you not knowing that means you're a fraud!!”
BOOM!
Syn blasted like a bolt, his movement is almost faster than what Rex's eyes can see.
SLASH!
In the blink of an eye, Rex's stomach got slashed by Syn's claws.
He didn't even notice what happened before suddenly blood burst out of his gut, a nasty slash wound etch on his gut as he held it tightly.
Rex felt the painful sting from the wound but he held it in, there's only one way to escape from this.
'Adhara definitely felt my situation, I'm still in the university so she will bring help', Rex thought, he's standing straight unfazed trying so hard to hold back his pain.
Syn looks at Rex with hostility, ”You seem weak, even weaker than a normal Werewolf”, he said while he licked the blood on his claws.
He looks confident in beating Rex, it was evident from the smile on his face.
'I can't beat him, it's the only way', Rex thought, he then smiles creepily while looking at Syn.
Looking at this, Syn was confused.
”What are you smiling at? You want to die?”, he was feeling unsettled by Rex's smile but he shakes the feeling off.
Rex spread his arm mockingly, ”It's funny that they say Shapeshifters is the weakest amongst the high-rank Supernatural, and now I can see why”
Syn was stunned, he didn't expect to hear that from Rex.
”You can't even react to my attack, trying to act tough?”, Syn said mockingly, he didn't believe Rex's strong front.
Rex's smiles got even wider, he laughs maniacally, ”It's not that I can't react, it's just I don't have to react to such a weak attack from you”
The wound on Rex's stomach is starting to heal up, it makes Syn shocked.
He was starting to hesitate because of it, Rex's regenerative ability is akin to that of High Werewolf that even Syn can't look down on.
”What's the matter? Are you done trying?”, Re said confidently.
Syn gritted his teeth and said, ”Big talk for a weakling, I can feel you're not even close to my power. I'm going to attack your left leg now, try and keep your tough front”
Hearing this, Rex uses his all to strengthen his body.
'This is it, after this, he will surely take my bait', Rex thought, he needs to at least make Syn bleed.
Right in front of Rex's eyes, Syn's hands that look like a normal human's hands suddenly turn into a huge skin-colored blade that looks sharp.
It makes Rex regret taunting Syn but he has to survive this next attack.
BOOM!
