Chapter 248: Sixth Rank (1/2)
”I'm going to make your powers mine!”, Rex shouted in delight.
Hearing this, Devo chuckles slowly as if he's underestimating Rex, ”No humans in the past 10,000 years have managed to assimilate with me, What makes you think you're able to?”
Devo looks down on Rex while crossing his arms in front of him,
The look on his face is that of a mocking look, his lightning eyes blitz mockingly as if he's saying to Rex to back down.
But unknown to Devo, Rex is not a human.
NGIING!!
14 black dots appeared all over Rex's body as he activates his black lightning,
The media all over Rex's body glows fiercely as it emits a horrifying amount of mana, the air started to tremble as the condensed place got filled with mana to the brim.
CRACK!
The barrier from the spikes started cracking, it can't hold the clashes between Rex and Devo.
Feeling the immensely dense mana surrounding the insides of the barrier, Devo's expression changed as he too felt threatened by such an amount of mana.
It's like the pressure underwater, the mana that Rex emits is very dense.
Looking at Devo's change in expression, a smirk appears on Rex's face, ”Not so confident now huh?”, he asks cheekily.
Devo's aura becomes even more powerful, splashes of lightning energy zap the barrier.
”Then we'll see who will have the last laugh!”, Devo said before his body turns into misty energy and instantly infiltrate Rex's body.
Right after Devo enters Rex's body, ”AARGHH!!”
Excruciating pain attacked every inch of Rex's body as Devo's energy got sucked into Rex's media, it was the most painful experience Rex felt in his entire life.
Veins bulged around his neck as his eyes glows blue lightning just like Devo's.
<Assimilating with Devo the Gatekeeper>
<0%...>
<2%...>
Rex saw the system notification for a split moment before the pain attacked him.
The others are watching Rex battle against Devo's energy inside the barrier in awe, lightning zapped around the barrier fiercely as Rex screamed in pain.
All kinds of thoughts went inside the other's mind while seeing this.
Edward is shocked to see Rex is shouting painfully, the pain he's currently going through must exceed the caliber of what a human can endure.
He was certain of it because he never saw Rex in this kind of pain.
During the night where Rex saved his life,
Edward looks at his back for one last time and saw Rex's body is broken all over, and even then Rex didn't shout or even frown in pain.
But this time, Rex is screaming because of this process.
Adhara, on the other hand, is filled with worry, her eyes are glued at Rex fearing something might happen to him.
Even though she doesn't know how to reach the sixth rank,
She heard that many stayed at the fifth rank fearing for their lives, so this must mean that reaching the sixth rank has a possibility to die during the process.
”RAAARGHH!!”, the glow on Rex's eyes glow brighter.
His whole body cracked with lightning even more chaotically until suddenly,
KABOOM!!
CRASHH!
A powerful lightning shockwave blasted from within Rex's body as one of Devo's media got locked, the barrier from the spikes instant shatters because of the shockwave.
SWOOSH!
Adhara and Edward got pushed back from the blast, the staff on the other hand got flung away.
Now that the barrier broke, the overwhelming energy Rex and Devo emitted went rampant without anything to restrain it.
Adhara and Edward stab their daggers on the ground trying to hold on.
Looking at this, Edward then shouted, ”You! Do something! This room will not hold, find someone to contain this before the room crumbles apart!!”
Without wasting any more seconds, the staff runs out of the room hurriedly.
After the staff left to find somebody to contain this, Adhara and Edward marvel at Rex who started levitating on the air.
From Rex's eyes that are now blitzing with lightning,
They can somehow see that a battle is undergone inside Rex's body, and from the look of it the battle is fierce and violent.
KABOOM!!
Another shockwave exploded from Rex's body sending Adhara and Edward crashing to the wall.
The wind of energy inside the room becomes even more violent, it's clear that Devo is not going to let Rex conquer him easily.
Adhara opened her eyes slightly,
She saw out of fourteen black dots around Rex's body, two of them has already dimmed as Devo's presence becomes even fainter.
Meanwhile,
Inside the neighboring building from Rex currently at,
All of the people inside the building have a ferocious and sharp aura, they are all sixth rank or above who are training to further assist humanity against the Supernatural.
But unlike the building Rex is currently at, the number of people in this building is fewer.
In the lobby, there are only four people that were chatting with each other.
Because only a few humans manage to reach sixth rank and above, these people tend to know each other fairly well.
”Are you going to Eqosa City tomorrow? If so, you need to prepare”
”I heard that Eqosa City is hopeless to maintain”
”My guild told me to go there to assist, I don't know if anything will be left when I arrived there”
While they are all chatting,
BOOM!
A loud explosion can be heard from outside catching all of their attentions,
But what grabs their attention was not the loud explosion sound, but rather, the spirit energy that comes right after the loud explosion.
It was like a cold wind brushing their back, and their senses caught it.
”Do you guys feel that too?”
”What the heck was that! My spirit got suppressed!”
”It seems it's coming from outside, my god! Such amount of mana can't be from just one person right?”
”Let's check it out”
After noticing the energy, the four of them went outside of the place.
They all are curious about the powerful energy that came out of nowhere, it's nothing that they have ever seen before.
Right when they got outside,
They notice that the sky is rumbling with lightning,
KABOOM!!
KABOOM!
Two explosions sound can be heard again, one of them saw where the energy come from and shouted, ”Look there! I think someone is assimilating with a spirit!”
”What?! What kind of spirit does this!”, another added while looking at the sky.
Above the neighboring building, the clouds are swirling in a circle creating a vortex in the sky, the tongue of lightning can be seen rampantly striking down creating a thundering sound.
Even the wind turns cold, it was a phenomenon that they have never seen before.
CRACK!!!
BOOM!!
The four Awakened glance at the building in horror, they just never heard any spirit that can create this kind of bizarre occurrence.
But then suddenly, amidst the rumbling of the sky and the explosion.
A man can be seen running towards them, he has a panicked look on his face.
