Chapter 163: Ambush and Meeting Reed Family (2/2)
Rex looks at the robed man and saw that a fist already appeared beside his face.
BAM!
Rex got flung upwards like a jet, his body crashed to the wall before he penetrate the wall and burst through the rooftop.
'A close combat Awakened!', Rex thought as he can feel the punch is heavy.
His enhanced body should've been able to block a normal punch easily, but the punch hurt him for quite a bit.
This means that the Awakened in front of Rex is adept in using his mana to fority his body.
BOOM!
BOOM!
The sound of fighting can be heard from the other places where the others are currently fighting, the sector is in chaos because of their fight.
Rex looks to his front and saw the robed man is taking off his robe.
Underneath the robe lies a muscular man that looks like a barbarian with many tattoos on his arms, scars decorate his body and face signifying that he's an experienced fighter, and he uses nothing as a weapon except his fists.
Looking at this, Rex's competitive nature lit up.
He also ripped his t-shirt and shows his muscular body that is trained as steel, he then waves his hand tauntingly.
The man was surprised when he saw Rex's body is more developed than him.
But seeing Rex's taunting face makes his blood boil, ”RAARGH!!”
BOOM!
The man dashes towards Rex like an angry bull, he wraps his hands around Rex's waist trying to tackle him but to his surprise, he can't.
The power behind the man tackle is not enough,
Rex only got pushed a couple of meters as the ground cracked, he then stopped the man and elbowed him right on his spine.
BAM!
”Huakh!!”, the man grunted in pain.
He got slammed to the ground because of Rex's attack,
Rex wants to follow up his attack but the man's body suddenly glow with a green hue, he then stopped his attack before suddenly,
SLASH!
A wind slash suddenly scratches Rex's face, it comes out of nowhere that it caught Rex off guard.
The man then stands up to his feet,
His fists gather wind mana violently as it creates a wind barrier on his fist, he then swung his fist towards Rex angrily,
BOOM!
But instead of Rex getting blasted away, his fist got stopped by Rex.
Rex catches the man's fist easily as his body blitzing with black lightning, a violent spark is created by the collision between black and green mana.
It makes the man widened his eyes in surprise when he saw Rex manage to catch his fist.
Then, a disturbing smile appears on Rex's face.
STAB!
Rex's hands that catch the man's fist suddenly turn into claws, it penetrates the man's fist and completely disabling it.
”ARGHH!!”, the man shouted in pain.
His fist got stabbed by Rex's claws creating five gaping holes, Rex's claw completely destroys his fist turning it into dangling meat.
The man holds his hand in pain, his eyes turn red as he looks at Rex with a surprised expression, ”What...How is this possible?”
Rex looks at the man with the same disturbing smile,
The ground beneath him suddenly turns black as Rex activates his Black Field Orko, the black lightning started to wrap around the man's body making him unable to move.
A black pale aura started to fill the man's body as he looks at Rex in terror, the man started to get scared of Rex.
Without wasting another second,
SLASH!
Rex slashed the man's head off, the head spins on the air a couple of times before it falls to the ground with a thudding sound.
<Killed a Mid Rank Five Awakened, Obtained 300,000 Exp>
After killing the man in front of him, Rex went back to the alley and found the other fight has also been concluded.
He approached Ari and saw that there's a corpse beside him, it was Regina and Irene.
Regina and Irene lost against the robed people, Ari obliterated the rest after he and Jim killed the rank six Awakened robed people.
Ari paused for a moment before he said, ”Let's keep moving”
Rex looks at the two corpses before he sighs, he then follows Ari and Jim after putting the corpses in a nearby garbage container.
They resume their walk and after about another half an hour, they arrive at the place.
Rex arrives at a house that is guarded by many Awakened, the weakest amongst them are rank five while the strongest is located inside.
He doesn't need the system to feel the strongest, the person inside is filled with mana.
'This mana, It feels different than normal', Rex thought, the mana coming from outside felt thicker and weird than usual.
It's like mana but another form of it that Rex doesn't know.
Rex went inside the house under the guard's guidance,
Inside the house, he saw a man sitting on a somekind of throne, he gracefully gazes at Rex's eyes like a royalty with his cold eyes.
The man has black hair with a dash of grey signing his old age, his body is skinny, the weird mana Rex feels is coming from this man sitting on the throne, and also there's a gaping hole on each of the man's palms but it's not bleeding.
Rex saw a familiar face beside the man sitting on the throne, he's Deniz he meet in a cafe before with the detective.
”Welcome Rex, I heard that you met trouble on your way but thankfully you manage to arrive here”, Deniz said after seeing Rex is topless.
He then added, ”I hope you didn't lose our spellbooks”
Rex bows his body slightly and said, ”I have it with me, thank you for your concern”, he acts politely because the man sitting on the throne is watching him.
He then thought, 'So this man sitting on the throne must be the head of Reed Family, Stevanus Reed'
