Chapter 178: Veteran from The Great War of Dwight City (2/2)
CLANG!!
Rex punched the door of the military vehicle, it flung away easily because of his punch before he, Liliya, and the military man got out.
After getting out, ”Check on the driver! Keep him alive!”, Rex said.
Hearing this, the military man nodded his head but got stunned when he saw the creature in front of him that is hulking.
Rex and Liliya look to the side and find a Minotaur standing in front of them,
”Humans! Do you think you can pass to our territory that easily?, the Minotaur said harshly, its bulging muscle and fierce eyes sent shivers to the military man.
But that doesn't apply to Rex at all,
Rex already scans the Minotaur as his face darkened, ”Liliya can I ask you to protect both of them?”, Rex said slowly.
Hearing this, Liliya nodded her head.
She never see Rex's expression this mad before, she even felt threatened by Rex's aura, 'Isn't he just a rank four before? How can I feel threatened?', she thought.
Blitz...
Black Lightning started to appear sizzling on Rex's body,
”An Awakened huh? Do you think you scare me with that little lightning of yours?!”, the Minotaur mock, he doesn't felt concerned at all.
BOOM!
Rex's Black Lightning suddenly turns fierce, the ground cracked under the black lightning's pressure.
The little spark of Black Lightning turns into a fierce Black Lightning that emits horrifyingly dense mana, the rune on Rex's shoulder glow in a dark light.
The sudden change caught the Minotaur off guard, ”Wait!”, he shouted in shock.
”Flash”
BLITZ!
In the blink of an eye, Rex disappeared and appeared in front of the Minotaur's face.
The Minotaur widened his eyes in surprise, his body can't react to how fast Rex's movement that even his eyes can't see.
Rex's hand already grab the Minotaur's head, he then whispers, ”You should be”
BOOM!!
The ground cracked creating a web-like crack as Rex slam the Minotaur on the ground, it was a powerful slam that even the internal organs of the Minotaur shook heavily.
”HUAKH!!”, the Minotaur spat a mouthful of blood.
Its skull already got cracked by Rex's might, and its head got planted on the ground roughly.
Rex mount on top of the Minotaur with a fierce gaze, he positioned himself before he started pounding the Minotaur crazily.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
The Minotaur can't do anything under Rex's pounding, he's clearly outmatched with Rex.
Every punch Rex landed on the Minotaur's face is like a mountain hitting at the Minotaur repeatedly, the sound of flesh hitting flesh reverberated to the surrounding.
Under such pounding, it didn't take long before the system notification rings.
<Killed a Peak Rank Four Minotaur, Obtained 100,000 Exp>
After killing the Minotaur, Rex retracts his bloodied hand from the Minotaur's face that is already hard to look at by now.
Not a glimpse of the Minotaur's normal look can be seen.
Blood decorates him, Bone can be seen through his ripped flesh, and even his teeth and horns broke with little to nothing left.
Anger can be seen through Rex's eyes, even Rex didn't know why he's this angry.
He then walks towards the military vehicle and finds that the military man already standing beside the vehicle door,
The military man then shakes his head towards Rex making Rex's expression grim.
Rex approached the military vehicle and peek into the driver's seat, there he found the driver is clinging to the rope of life because of the sharp metallic object that pierced through him.
His face is pale and his pain can be seen through his face.
The driver looked at Rex who is looking at him with immense guilt,
If Rex hadn't been caught off guard stay alert, the driver may just be still fine because he can sense the Minotaur coming towards them.
But the conversation they had before distract him,
”It's okay, no need to blame yourself for this”, the driver said weakly.
Rex can only hear his last words as he stood by the car window, if he opens the car door the sharp metallic object will be pulled out of the driver's body and will instantly kill him.
The driver then look up to the sky with a smile,
He remembers the days he spent in the war and saw many of his comrades die before him, and he always curse himself for that.
Many good people died in vain while he was still alive until now, it's just not fair.
”The day I survived the Dwight City war, I always thanked you in my heart and also grateful that I'm still alive”, the driver said with a slight chuckle.
He then continues, ”Although I survived, many of my comrades don't. From then on, I always thought the life I have left since the Dwight City war is just a bonus”
”I bid my family goodbye one last time and dedicated myself to the military, dreaming that one day humanity will return to what it used to be. Peaceful, Beautiful, and... *Cough* *Cough*, the driver coughed painfully.
Rex already bought an elixir from the shop wanting to help but the driver raised his hand and declines,
The driver can feel his time is near, ”Do you think...my dream will come true?”
”Yes, I'm certain it will come true!”, Rex said while holding the driver's hand, he felt a connection with the driver but his time is already up just after Rex met him.
And to his surprise, the driver had already breathed his last breath.
Rex shook his hand a couple of times before his eyes burn with determination, ”I know your dream will come true, no, it has to”
After ten minutes or so,
They resume their journey leaving the grave of the driver there, Rex and the others personally dig his grave to at least put his corpse in peace.
Beside the grave, there's a spear planted on the ground with the Minotaur's head on the tip.
It is a foolish move by Rex to leave behind a corpse of a Supernatural that will expose him later, but he wanted the Supernatural to come for him.
He wants them to know, Destruction of the Supernatural is here.
