Chapter 222: Beah City Aftermath (1/2)
Rex waves his hand to shakes off the black smoke on his hand,
The second winged demon just got killed by him, and its also thanks to the insectoid creature hat came out of nowhere that is now looking at Rex.
All of the demons are already dead except for a couple running four-armed demons and the demon puppet.
Feeling the fatigue kicking in, Rex fall to his knee as his body turns back to normal.
The insectoid creature looks at Rex curiously with its many eyes, and its eyes long dragging stare makes Rex uncomfortable.
Although Rex is kneeling on the ground, he's still wary of the insectoid creature.
After a few minutes of silence, the insectoid creature glance to the left.
TAP!
BOOM!
Rex stares back at the insectoid creature to scan it, but then suddenly, ”Akhh!”, his head suddenly throb painfully.
He held his head in pain, and by the time he opened his eyes the insectoid creature is already gone inside the ground and left the place.
'What was that? Did that creature did this', Rex thought with a frown.
But just after he said that, two figures suddenly appeared on top of Beah City as it attacked the demon puppet instantly.
NGOONG!!
A translucent red barrier defends the demon puppet as it levitate above the skyscraper idly.
The two figure are the high-rank Awakened that attack Benrith City before, they just finished cleaning up Benrith City.
One of the Awakened concentrate huge amount of energy that almost feel the same as mana, but Rex can tell that it's different.
WHOOSH!!
Scarlet red fire started to materializes on top of the demon puppet as fire shockwaves throbs to the surrounding like a beating heart until the Scarlet red fire turns into a ball-shape.
Upon looking at it closely, Rex can see two spirit arms extending from the Awakened's back.
These two spirit arms can clearly be seen by the naked eyes, it almost materialize completely unlike spirits that Rex saw before that take a form of an energy.
DEG!
After the last beat, huge ball of fire the size of a house appeared and with a wave of the Awakened's hand it descended towads the demon puppet.
From just the mana it emitted, Rex has never feel such huge scale of mana in one spell.
BOOM!!
The ball of fire exploded the size of a nuclear explosion as it instantly vaporized the translucent barrier around the demon puppet, and also the demon puppet itself.
Rex got pushed back by the impact as he crash to a building behind him.
The explosion was too much, and even Rex can't handle the impact eventhough he's on the ground while the explosion is way above the city.
*Cough* *Cough*
Rex coughs a couple of times as smoke and dust filled his surroundings.
His left arm and abdomen started bleeding again after the red symbol on his forehead disappeared alongside his aura.
Because of the fight he had, Rex can't maintain his skills anymore.
He's currently lying on the ground helplessly, his body is hurting all over.
'I need to tell them about the attack', Rex thought as he sarted crawling desperately.
The Great Barricade may still be taken over, and Rex carrys the burden to tell the two Awakened flying above the city about it.
”HEY!!”, Rex shouted while crawling on the ground.
Although he tries to shout with all he had, his energy is already drained and he can't muster enough voice to call them.
The two figures was about to leave the city, and Rex can't take their attention.
Just when he's about to give up, Delta suddenly came to him and realizes what he intended.
Aooouuu!!
Delta howls loudly, her howl reverberated to the surrounding and it catches the attention of the two Awakened above the city.
Swoosh!
The two Awakened went towards Rex's direction and landed in front of him.
Upon closer look, Rex saw that the two Awakened are a man and a woman.
They have steady and clear eyes just like an expert, with an overwhelming aura surrounding them showing a new height of power.
It's the first time Rex saw an aura like theirs,
The man glance to Delta who's tugging her muzzle to help Rex, ”A Zeragon? Why is someone like you here?”, the man asks curiously.
The man has orange undercut hair with a muscular frame, and he seems to be in his thirties.
Rex then struggles to stand up with one hand, his body is trembling uncontrolably as he tried to stand up before the woman helped him.
”Don't be like that Denzel”, the woman scolded the man.
The woman has light blue hair with a magnificent bow on her back, her blue eyes also brings a feeling of comfort.
She then helps Rex gets up and asks, ”It's okay now, we already cleared the demons from this city”, her hands then glow with a blue hue as the blue energy covers Rex's left arm.
It didn't take long before Rex can feel his left arm gets better,
But Rex raise his hand to signal for the woman to stop before he said with difficulty, ”You need to go back, the demons are attacking the Great Barricade”
Hearing this, the two Awakend looks at Rex with a frown.
”What do you mean by that?”, the man asks hurriedly, he can feel something is amiss.
Rex then glance the man with his heavy eyes before he continues, ”The demonic cities are just a decoy, they wanted you two to leave the Great Barricade before they attack it”
”Go back to the Great Barricade, you might still have ti- Rrghh!”, Rex grunted in pain.
He turns his body and lies on his back,
Rex then looks at his stomach and find that the demonic energy is corroding his skin, it slowed his regenerative ability heavily.
Both of the Awakened widened their eyes in shock,
The woman glance at the man in horror, ”FUCK!!”
BOOM!
The man's body glow with intense fire, two fire wings spread majestically on his back before he flapped his wings and left the place turning into a red streak of light.
It just take a blink of an eye, and the man is suddenly gone.
After the man left, the woman glance at Rex with a troubled look before her blue energy grows intense cleansing the demonic energy on Rex's stomach.
