Chapter 619 Battle Of Kings (1)
Reaching the ninth-rank realm which is the highest realm that one can achieve in this current era, their physical prowess greatly surpasses Awakened or Supernatural that are below the ninth-rank realm by a huge separation.
Even the peak of the eighth-rank realm can't even compare to the tip of a ninth-rank realm power.
It's like comparing an ant to a tiger, completely in a different league.
At this highest realm, the speed of the entities inside this realm has already reached blazing speed, surpassing the speed of sound. Some are even already close to the speed of light, they can't be perceived by normal eyes anymore.
Upon reaching this realm, none of the lower-rank entities can catch them much less leave a scratch.
Just like the fighting speed of Rex and King Baralt right now, they both are so fast that everything around them is moving in slow motion. One second for others is half a minute or even more for them. There are not many entities that can see their fights clearly, others can only see swift flashing lights going around the place.
Only Queen Catsha and Azzen can actually perceive how the fight is going right now.
The moment Rex got slammed back into the ground powerfully by his leg, the notifications from the system popped out which makes his eyes glisten. But seeing that King Baralt was already diving towards him, Rex didn't waste any time to activate the newly acquired skill.
Despite not knowing what the skill can do, he can only count on it right now.
KABOOM!
It was akin to an atomic bomb, the explosion of kingly energy decimated everything around them.
Even the Blue Demons and Succubus that are still within the range of the explosion got scorched to death while some are protected by the surviving eighth-rank realm entities, they already did their job and now they need to get away to a safe distance.
But determining whether they are at a safe distance is very hard.
Since the fight between Rex and King Baralt takes up space and is also unpredictable, it's very hard for them to gauge if they are safe so they kept on going without stopping. At a time their fight would take a mile above the sky, another a couple of miles at the south, but then suddenly they would appear directly in front of the retreating army of Supernatural.
With their current speed, it looks like they are teleported everywhere or warping dimensions.
In truth they don't have that kind of power, they are just so fast that the lower-rank Supernaturals thought that they can teleport like a ghost. Not one of them tries to watch the fight as they try to get away as soon as possible.
Now, their fight was at a standstill about five miles to the south.
After the powerful explosion that is akin to a nuke that can destroy the very living existence of Supernaturals that are caught by it, dust and heated debris flies around, clouding the center of a huge crater on the ground that spreads for miles.
Inside that dust and heated debris was King Baralt that has his claws stopped in their tracks.
Upon feeling something wrapping around his wrist, King Baralt frowned before he soon widened his eyes when he saw Rex catch his wrist with one hand and stop his momentum. It was a feat that caught King Baralt by surprise, the surprise can be seen clearly on his face.
Not only that but Rex's black fur now is layered with a thick red liquid.
Even though he was engulfed in the heat of the moment, King Baralt knows that Rex doesn't have this thick red liquid before. It was only the kingly energy and red force, but now this red liquid appeared and covered Rex's body underneath the kingly energy and making the red force a darker shade of red, almost turning the red force into something else.
From a glance, this thick red liquid looks like blood.
But with his quick reflex, King Baralt leaped away fearing that Rex might do something.
While slowly standing up and straightening his back, Rex's red eyes filled with the Blood Moon's kingly energy gaze at King Baralt that seems to be on alert. In this brief pause of their fight, Rex glances up to the sky with a pondering look.
'Hmm... why don't they want me to get out of this hellish plain?', Rex thought with a frown.
Although he was in the middle of being sent to the sky from that uppercut slash by King Baralt, his acute hearing catches Queen Catsha shouting at King Baralt, showing concern about the fact that his momentum upwards would make him go out of the invisible barrier.
Rex already knows that these Supernaturals fear something and it's definitely not him.
Gaining yet another piece of information about why these Supernaturals are desperately trying to kill him as even 5 king-level entities are working together to create this inevitable trap, Rex looks back at King Baralt before he cracks a grin despite his left arm is still nonexistent.
"Maybe you don't know this about me yet, but I have a particularly sharp sense of fear..."
Upon hearing this King Baralt frowns as this fight went back and forth with power-up after power-up, it seems even though he already reached the first ascension he can't defeat Rex easily which is way out of his expectation.
Not only that, but the fact that Rex manages to survive his Moon Ability is worrying.
Moon Ability is an acquired ability when he manages to reach the first ascension of his King Mark, the Super Moon King Mark. It's similar to a Pneuma Spell that exchange mana and harnesses spirit energy, but Moon Ability exchange moonlight energy and harnesses kingly energy instead.
Despite its nature as a form of energy, kingly energy is harder to control.
Even though a Werewolf is accepted by a full moon and granted King Mark, the kingly energy provided by the King Mark can only be used to enhance their physique. If the Werewolf wanted to control the kingly energy then it needs to reach the first ascension.
In the time they reach the first ascension, the Werewolf now has access to Moon Ability.
Having access and using it are two different things, and King Baralt has worked on his Moon Ability for quite a while now, cramping himself inside his castle walls in order to properly use his Moon Ability, Super Chain of Ruination.
But Rex managed to survive that, and that alone makes King Baralt ultimately alert.
"I know that you all are scared of something which makes you desperately try to kill me, I can sense your fear going through the roof! We're Supernaturals here, don't keep any secret and tell me the thing you fear already", Rex said as he puts on a cheeky grin on his face.
King Baralt kept silent and so does Queen Catsha, not wanting to answer Rex at all.
Witnessing their unreactive demeanor to his friendly question, Rex shrugs his shoulders nonchalantly before he spreads his arms to the side, "Well if you don't want to tell me then I'll try and find it out myself. Let's see what will happen if I left this majestic barrier the Vampire King and the Undead King have made especially for me"
"But first, I'll properly try out the new skill I gained from you...", he added still with a cheeky grin.
Upon hearing this King Baralt was confused as to what Rex meant by that, he has never given away or taught any skill to Rex, heck this moment is even the first time he properly met with Rex. So he was confused as to what Rex meant by a new skill gained from him.
Just as he was frowning in confusion, he heard a whisper coming out of Rex's mouth.
"True Werewolf King Blood Physique..."
Immediately after King Baralt heard Rex say that his eyes widened in utter shock as he unconsciously takes a step back. Although it was a different version, he clearly can feel that the skill is the same as his True Werewolf King Super Physique.
Despite realizing that it's the same type of skill, King Baralt can't help but suck in a cold breath.
'How did he learn that skill when even I need a great length to acquire it?! So that is what he activated earlier to block my last attack?! It's not possible! It's not possible!', King Baralt exclaimed inwardly finding this situation very hard to believe.
Even though it's an enhancement skill, he manages to learn that skill through a stone tablet.
The stone tablet was retrieved years back from an unknown ruin that one of his Alphas found, and through rigorous training, he was finally able to decipher the stone tablet and learned the True Werewolf King Super Physique.
At first, it was the True Werewolf King's Physique.
But when he was accepted by the Super Moon and gained its King Mark, the True Werewolf King's Physique reacted to that and evolved into a stronger form that harness the power of the kingly energy. Essentially, it's a skill that gives him an edge over other Werewolves that have King Mark but haven't reached the first ascension yet.
It's an enhancement skill that allows him to use his kingly energy without using a Moon Ability.
One of the sources of his pride and power that gave him a competitive edge against the other Supernatural Kings, but now Rex out of nowhere able to copy his skill and even evolve it into a skill of his own.
Something like this should be impossible, King Baralt refused to believe it.
At an angle, Rex mastering the skill just from one look pummels King Baralt's pride knowing that Rex must've been a very talented Werewolf to be able to do that. But contrary to his expectation, Rex manages to do this all thanks to the system.
Unlike what the others thought, he doesn't only have the Royal Black Werewolf Bloodline.
Rex has something within him that is even stronger than the Royal Black Werewolf Bloodline, and that is the system that makes everything possible. Without the system, he would pretty much die that night during the Ghoul's Mission.
Feeling the inferiority inside of him, the kingly energy around King Baralt suddenly got weaker.
Even though this sudden drop can be sensed by Rex instantly, King Baralt doesn't seem to realize it as he was still in a state of disbelief. His senses are numb for this brief moment as Rex fully exerts his new skill.
Swoosh!
A subtle wave of his kingly energy expanded, covering miles in radius. Rex's aura sways powerfully.
It spreads so far that the subtle wave of kingly energy even reaches the fight between the Supernatural army and the others, but this wave of kingly energy didn't do anything to them. It only reacted when it hits blood.
Despite Demons having no blood, the Werewolves have abundantly more blood than humans.
Swiftly the Werewolves that were killed by Adhara earlier and dyed the lava ground with their own blood started to levitate, and in a quick motion, the unfathomable amount of blood getting sucked directly into Rex.
Rex can feel his body rejuvenated by the blood he absorbed, even his stats are increasing rapidly.
While this is all happening the red liquid layer mixed with the red force on his body started to become darker and thicker which fueled Rex with immense power, he even laughs maniacally as he said, "Super Moon might have the strongest King Mark, but it has a devastating flaw. I'm sure you're aware of it, King Baralt..."
"Pride of Werewolves can be easily crushed!", he added with his eyes flashing murderously.
Splash!
Rex's eyes started to brim back with life as he saw his left arm completely grow back, he then raises both of his arms that are also covered by the red liquid, "Blood Moon King Mark on the other hand is more versatile. Do you know what it represents, King Baralt...?"
"It represents Blood and Death! Both are abundant in War!!"
SWOOSH!!
