Chapter 123: Make Me an Awakened (1/2)
Rex is currently sitting in the meditation rune,
He already set the lightning crystal to make the surrounding lightning mana abundant, there's also a lightning stone on his hand.
The hand-sized dark blue stone is already dim,
Rex already meditated for almost two days on the train, one high lightning stone can be used for two days apparently.
In the last few days, Adhara and Rex didn't stop their meditation.
Because of the high elemental stones they got, both went instantly to the meditation room and never left.
If one looks closer, there's a rune on Rex's left elbow.
The rune on his left elbow is diamond-shaped, its edges are sharp, and it coils around his elbow like a snake. It looks more like a scar than a tattoo because of its pale color.
Black Lightning splashes around the rune as it is still not finished yet.
The center of it is a hollow circle, there are two symbols starting to take shape on it.
After a moment, the black lightning scarred Rex's shoulder as it nearing its finish.
The symbol starting to take shape.
The symbol on the left is a key facing down with a cold eye above it, the eyes are sharp and it creates an illusion as if it's looking at anyone looking at it.
While the symbol on the right is a lightning symbol with many branches on it.
Both symbols signify Rex entering new heights.
The first step of entering early rank four is to create the layout of the rune, it will be finished when the rune appears on the Awakened body.
Rex's eyes tremble slightly, he can feel the surge of mana exploded within him.
He opened his eyes before he glances at his shoulder, he can still feel a slight pain from his left shoulder, 'So this is my rune, it supposed to represent my element', Rex thought.
Rex studied the rune on his left shoulder,
'The symbol on the right definitely means lightning, so the right one means the properties given by the Dark Mooncress which is distortion right?', Rex thought.
The rune glint with black lightning, all of its lines, curves, and edges fit perfectly on Rex's elbow.
Rex still can't believe this rune is what makes Awakened so strong.
After studying the rune for a little longer, he then opens his stats.

His intelligence stats experience a huge change,
Rex felt that it will get harder for him to raise his rank but because of the high elemental stones, he manages to reach early rank four in a matter of days!
This is all thanks to the high elemental stone,
From this alone, Rex deduces that using elemental stones in meditation is really important. It can potentially skip months of meditating.
Although elemental stone help,
The speed of Rex's growth is still unheard of in any part of Ratmawati City, it is simply too fast!
'I manage to reach early rank four, let's try and learn other spells', Rex thought as he takes out the Mystic Shock Spellbook.
He spent his time reading and trying the spell in the meditation room.
After a couple of hours, Rex went out of the meditation room with a satisfied expression.
He ordered breakfast from the train staff before he started to eat his dinner, 'It's about time we arrive, let's get ready', Rex thought.
Not long after, the train stopped as they arrive in a city near Wedron City.
The city they arrive at is not a city, it is more like a resting place for people who are on a long journey like Rex himself.
There are many small people selling food, drinks, rooms, and even massage service.
All of them are wearing haggard clothes, the difference between the people here and Ratmawati instantly becomes evident.
This city only has hotels and a small number of houses, it's only a resting place so there are no defenses for wandering mutated beasts or Supernatural that decided to attack them.
It is suicide to live in this kind of environment but many don't have the option to move out.
Adhara got out of her meditation room before he went to Rex.
Rex is currently packing his stuff, he notices Adhara already got out of the meditation room.
He glances at Adhara and said, ”Pack your thing, we need to travel by car after this so we can't waste anymore time here”
The SCO meeting will be held three days from now, so Rex needs to finish this mission fast.
Hearing this, Adhara nodded her head.
After a couple of minutes, they both wanted to get out of the train when suddenly Rex widened his eyes when he saw Adhara's eyes.
”Wait! Come here”, Rex said while signaling Adhara to come closer.
He bought an item from the system before he takes it out and said, ”Here use this, make sure to use it all times to avoid suspicion”
Adhara was confused, she looks at Rex with a questioning look.
Rex signals Adhara to look at her eyes, she opened her phone and looks at her eyes before she gasps in surprise.
Her usual brown color eyes change drastically.
Now, her eyes turn into bright yellow colors that are piercingly sharp. It even glows a bit when it got hit by light.
Looking at her eyes, Adhara immediately uses the item Rex gave.
Rex bought a soft lense from the system that can be used at all times, the system thankfully has anything he needed in the shop so it's okay for now.
Adhara looks at Rex, ”Is it fine now? How do I look?”
”It's fine now, you don't have to change soft lense because that can be used forever”, Rex explains before he turns his body around.
But then, his body suddenly feel weird.
Rex's eyes become hazy, his breathing becomes heavy when he saw Adhara.
'System, what's happening to me?', Rex asks but got no answer from the system, his hand started to stretch out to Adhara.
