Chapter 252: Great Spell Combo (1/2)
The woman widened her eyes upon seeing both of them, ”Y-You're not supposed to do that”
”Not supposed to do what?”, Rex asks in confusion.
All they're doing is just standing under the rain, they didn't do anything that somehow can make the woman say what she said.
”Hello there, we're trying to find shelter can you help us?”, Edward asks politely.
But the woman's eyes are not looking at them, but she's looking at their backs.
Edward glance to his back upon noticing the woman's eyes are transfixed to their backs and finds only their car there, nothing else besides it.
Even Rex try to spot anything aside from the car, but the rain is too heavy and he can't really sense anything beyond the mist.
It's like his senses are trapped to just a couple of meters around him.
Kyran may be able to sense further beyond the mist, but Rex doubts it with such conditions.
The rough rain that creates a heavy splashing sound, the thick mist that covered the surroundings, it's just simply impossible to sense anything beyond what they can see.
Before Edward can ask again, the woman suddenly runs towards their backs.
Rex already scans the woman and finds that she's a normal human, so he's not worried about what the woman is trying to do.
The woman runs towards the car before kneeling in front of it.
She then looks around before fixating her gaze onto a rock before picking it up strugglingly.
After picking a medium-sized rock with quite a bit of effort, she then suddenly slammed the medium-sized rock to Edward's car headlight desperately.
Crash!!
The car's left headlight dimmed as it got crashed by the medium-sized rock.
Looking at this, Edward's expression turns pale as he didn't expect the woman to do that, ”WHAT THE HECK!!”, he shouted.
Edward then grabs the woman's shoulder and tossed her to the side.
”My car!!”, Edward shouted as he saw his car's left headlight is broken because of the woman.
Rex approach Edward with a slight chuckle, ”Why don't you put a protection rune on it? It's a good investment for this kind of situation”
”Shut up! Who would've thought I will be going to this kind of place anyway”, Edward rebutted.
While Edward is picking up the shattered glasses on the ground, Rex glance at the woman that got tossed to the side in worry.
Edward might put too much force on her,
But instead of feeling guilty for what she has done, the woman looks at Edward in disbelief before she shouted, ”Are you mad?!!”
”ARE YOU MAD?!!”, Edward shouted back.
Hearing both of their quarrel, Rex steps between them before he looks at the woman.
”What are you afraid of?”, Rex asks, he saw the bleak aura coming from this woman is immense just like when he threatened Clarice.
The woman then replied in a panic, ”You don't understand!”
Rex frowns upon hearing this, but then the woman continues, ”YOU WILL ATTRACT ITS ATTENTION!”, the woman shouted in horror.
Right after she said that,
ROAR!!
A very loud roar suddenly can be heard, the roar is still far but the thudding sound states that whatever the creature is, it is heading this way.
The woman falls to the ground butt first while looking at the sound direction in horror.
Adhara came out of the car after hearing the loud roar, ”What is happening?”
Because of that roar, Edward also stopped whatever he's doing and stand up while looking in the sound direction, ”What kind of creature can make such a roar?”
”What is that creature? Tell me”, Rex asks while shaking the woman's shoulders.
The woman then slowly looks at Rex before she said, ”It is coming, Vashag is coming!! EVERYONE HIDE!!”, she shouted signaling to the others to hide.
After she shouted that, many figures that were supposed to be humans scattered around.
It seems the map is right to say that there's a village here, but from Rex and the other's standpoint they still can't see the village
Only a couple of shadows beyond the mist can be seen running around.
”Vashag?”, Rex mumbles upon hearing the creature's name.
Upon hearing what the creature's name is, Rex and Edward, look at each other with a frown before they both look at Adhara in a union.
”There's no way right?”, Edward said with a wry smile when suddenly,
THUD!!
BAM!!
Something landed from above right behind them, the moonlight creates a shadow from the creature that landed behind them as the shadow covers Rex and the others.
This caught each one of them off guard as the woman crawl back in fear.
Grrr...
The low growling sound can be heard as a cold wind brushed their backs, this makes Rex and the others' bodies stiff.
Rex glance at his back slowly and saw the creature at his back,
<Sudden Quest!>
<The Mist Demon>
Upon arriving at the door of Bleak Everson Hills, the user has been ambushed by the mist demon, Vashag. Once Vashag lays his eyes on something, he won't stop until he gets them. Survive the ordeal without causalities!
Time to complete: 12 minutes
Quest Reward: Immunity to Mist Effect, Vashag Eyes, 30,000,000 Exp
Reading the sudden quest from the system, Rex's expression turns pale, ”Survive...”, he mutters.
It's the first time the system asks Rex to survive rather than defeating something, this can only mean one thing, it's impossible to kill Vashag at his current level!
”W-We jinxed it”, Edward said while stepping back.
From what the woman said, the creature in front of them is clearly Vashag.
Adhara already told them about this Vashag creature that has a name around the Bleak Everson Hills, but they laughed at her and thought that the story is made up.
The reason for this is because Lountain City is a developed level three city.
With that on their head, there is no way that Lountain City can thrive and develop if there's a creature like Vashag.
They would be killed and obliterated by Vashag.
But now they need to swallow their own words, the creature is standing right in front of them.
Rex needs to raise his eyes up to see Vashag's whole body,
Vashag is not exactly like what the story describes it to be, there are some differences.
Aside from the bat-like wings on Vashag's back, its body is ashy color while its arms are blood red. Vashag's body is slender and tall that reaches at least 10 feet, its eyes are glowing red and its face is more like an owl rather than a bat.
Looking at Vashag, Rex's eyes glister as he scans it,
<Vashag (Buffed)>
Race: Mutated Strigiformes
Power: Rank Six(Mid)
Mental: 473
Strength: 540
Agility: 371
Endurance: 489
Intelligence: 498
Vashag's stats makes Rex grit his teeth in concern, almost all of its stats are above 400 except for its agility.
With the low agility, Rex can match it in terms of speed.
Because it's currently night, Rex's stats got enhanced by 50% thanks to his passive.
But all of his other stats got trampled easily by Vashag, but this shouldn't be an impossible opponent to fight because he still got other buffs that he can use.
