Chapter 626 Surviving The Inveitable Trap
Chapter 626 Surviving The Inveitable Trap
A powerful explosion from the ultimate clash between two entities at the pinnacle of power lay waste to everything in the surrounding, the Supernaturals, the SCO, and even the Silverstar Pack got blown away from the sheer power of the shockwave.
But unlike before, this shockwave is not able to be blocked by almost all of them.
Even eighth-rank realm entities got absolutely obliterated as they got sent rolling across the hellish plain for miles away before most of them crashes onto the Great Barricade's wall, and as for the weaker ones... their bodies got disintegrated completely.
Red Demons, Blue Demons, and Succubus suffered the most casualties.
Since the powerful shockwave expanded, the fight between Azzen and King John halted as the two of them instantly tries to save as many of their people as they can. Werewolves are the priority as they aren't easily replenished.
Demons don't need saving as they can reanimate, but Azzen sensed something is wrong.
Although Demons' souls after having their demon cores cracked would go back to the Demon Castle and be reborn in a fixed amount of time, Azzen sensed that the Demons that got killed by the shockwave had even their souls disintegrated.
It surprised him as he decided to protect the Incubus who are the closest to him.
Creating a massive barrier that spans a mile wide imbued with his blue Demonic Energy, Azzen fought back the powerful shockwave that even manage to push him back despite the barrier. It clearly shows that this shockwave is very powerful, more powerful than any shockwave created from a clash that he has ever seen for quite a while.
But while witnessing the rushing shockwave slamming into the barrier, Azzen felt something.
'No wonder that their souls got disintegrated, there's a hint of Origin Energy in this shockwave. Don't tell me that the Royal Black Prince also has grasped the Werewolf's Origin's power?!', Azzen thought as his expression darkens.
Only the Origin's energy is absolute and is able to disintegrate a demon's soul.
It's common knowledge from ancient times that to counter an Origin's energy one also needs an Origin energy, there's nothing else that can match an Origin's energy except for the Ancient Humans that have grasped even stronger energy.
Looking at the sky where the shockwave originated from, Azzen gritted his teeth.
'Don't lose to him King Baralt, Queen Catsha... if you two lose then we've just suffered a huge loss without achieving our goal', Azzen thought, hoping that the ones that came out as the winner are King Baralt and Queen Catsha.
Meanwhile, King John also conjures his golden energy with the messengers beside him.
Without him even needing to call the other messengers back, they already went over to him at the moment they sensed that a huge clash was about to happen. And true enough, the clash produce a powerful shockwave as expected.
Even with the barrier by King John, the air from the shockwave still penetrates through.
The SCO messengers' robes flutter violently due to the wind as they can feel the chilling sensation, it's clear that if not for King John then they all would've got hammered by the shockwave, unable to defend themselves.
"Such power... the UWO needs to pay the price for doing this", Prof. K whispered from the side.
Upon hearing this King John also nodded his head, the thought of what the UWO did earlier still haunts his mind but he can't do anything to change the past. As a leader, he would need to worry about the future, and this display of power is enough to fight for it.
"We'll settle this later, but I have a feeling that Giana would still be the key..."
Exactly like the others that don't have anyone to protect them from the powerful shockwave, Kyran and Adhara that are very close to the impact got sent rolling across the ground. Usually, their skin is strong enough to sustain something like this, but the momentum right now is too powerful.
Both of their skins started to peel off and bleed as they make contact with the rough ground.
Their sense of balance was everywhere as they can't stop the momentum from them getting flung away by the powerful shockwave, but it didn't take long for the two of them to crash right onto the Great Barricade's wall powerfully.
Boom!
Boom!
Just like that, two big craters were made on the Great Barricade's wall.
Despite the very sturdy material enchanted with numerous spells and runes, the Great Barricade's wall cracked because of them crashing into it. Not stopping at that, but when the shockwave hits, a huge part of the Great Barricade's wall crumbles from the destructive force.
It was shocking enough that Brigitta on the other side saw the wall crumbling with wide eyes.
Maybe a direct hit would definitely be able to crumble the Great Barricade's wall. It doesn't take a ninth-rank realm entity, an eighth-rank or some seventh-rank can even do that, but it's not a hit that crumbles the Great Barricade's wall.
Only a shockwave did this, and that alone is a feat that none has done before.
But just as the big white blocks from the Great Barricade's wall falls down intending to crush Kyran and Adhara that was severely hurt from being too close to the clash, two figures appeared and shield them from the blocks and also the unending shockwave.
Flunra and Gistella came right on time and protect the two of them from the devastating impact.
While this is all happening King Baralt screamed at the top of his lung as half of his claws shatters. Unlike other body parts, claws were the heart of Werewolves and it takes way more time to regenerate and went back to normal.
Due to that, having his claws shattered was excruciatingly painful.
Realizing that King Baralt is definitely losing the clash, Queen Catsha flapped her wings quickly and helps him in fighting off the Origin energy from Rex's claws. It was an attempt that put a strain on their endurance.
After Queen Catsha loses focus of her spell, Rex's absent eyes turn crystal clear once again.
Blinking his eyes a couple of times Rex finally realized the situation he was in, he was surprised to find that his body manage to do this on its own without him controlling it. But it was a good surprise as he smiled, "It seems I'm the true Werewolf King..."
King Baralt heard this and can't help but grinds his teeth.
However, he knows that he had lost this fight, if not for Queen Catsha then he would get severely injured here. Upon saying that, Rex gathers the energy at the tip of his claws before another explosion was created.
BOOM!
Due to the last explosion, the sky shattered as the invisible barrier wobbled violently.
It's a miracle that the invisible barrier is still standing even after all of that shockwave of power, but it seems King Lax'rad and King Solomon kept their end of the deal no matter how much damage they suffered from keeping the invisible barrier intact.
Queen Catsha and King Baralt got planted into the ground powerfully.
For a moment Rex was the only one levitating in the sky with his body and horns covered with his red kingly energy, his gushing aura stabs the broken sky, spreading his dominance for anyone to see. Coupled with his glowing King Mark, Rex looks like a demigod, gazing down at the destruction he had caused.
Rex kept his overbearing demeanor for a solid thirty seconds before he falls to the ground.
Boom!
Landing on one of his knees, Rex coughed a couple of times as blood dripped down from his mouth. Reaching his hand to touch his chest, he finds blood in his hand. Upon seeing the blood, he looked down at his chest and finds a big hole there, It was Queen Catsha's doing.
When she was being propelled away, she launched a desperate attack and managed to do this.
'I-I can't go on anymore, the strain is already over my body limit...', Rex thought with a groan.
Although he won the clash just now his mind was breaking due to Queen Catsha's spell and the injuries he sustained from King Baralt is already getting worst, he needs to end this once and for all before anything more happens.
Forcing his body to stand up, Rex glanced to the side and finds the invisible barrier is not far.
Gathering every ounce of power he has left inside of him, he straightens his back weakly before dashing to the edge of the invisible barrier while holding the hole in his chest that is bleeding profusely.
Even as he dashes swiftly, his vision is starting to get blurry.
Unlike ninth-rank realm Awakened such as Sebrof and Giana that has endless stamina thanks to their arcane mana, Supernaturals even in the ninth-rank realm don't have that privilege if they're not in their territory.
It should be sunny outside, and Werewolves thrive only during the night.
Swoosh!
Rex's ears suddenly perked up when he sensed something approaching him from the side swiftly, he heard a whistling sound of wind before his eyes saw Queen Catsha flapping her wings intending to block his way.
But in quick thinking, Rex changed his direction and brace himself for Queen Catsha's attack.
Bam!
Coughing a mouthful of blood, Queen Catsha managed to slam her hardened body straight into Rex's body before propelling him away. But this is exactly what Rex wanted as he already position his body so he got flung towards the invisible barrier.
Queen Catsha just realized this and she clicks her tongue in displeasure, she was played!
Even with her very fast and agile movement, Rex went through the invisible barrier without resistance before she too went outside intending to pull Rex back inside. Just as she stopped to see Rex, her eyes saw kingly energy already gathered on Rex's horns.
Rex looks directly at Queen Catsha's eyes with his warning eyes, "If you come any closer..."
"I'll burst my energy here and ignite something that you Supernaturals feared, I don't know what it is but I do know that you don't want me using my energy recklessly outside of the barrier you created", he added which makes Queen Catsha rooted on her spot.
With a troubled expression and slow movement, Queen Catsha creeps closer.
"Just give up Royal Black Prince, the world is not for you to inherit. If you're alive then calamity would soon come, and you don't want that to happen or the entire world would be destroyed and at that time, it will be your fault", she added carefully.
But seeing the kingly energy riling up, even more, Queen Catsha stopped.
Not intending to hear any of the nonsense that she was spouting, Rex squinted his eyes, warning her if she takes one step closer then he would really explode right here and right now, "Leave us, you've lost the fight. You can come and fight me again some other time, we'll resume our unfinished business then"
Queen Catsha is very reluctant to leave, especially after losing so much, it'll be a waste if she did.
Although she really wants to try and keep opposing Rex's threat, the look on his face shows that he would really do it without thinking about the aftermath. Knowing this, Queen Catsha unwillingly straighten her back before her body vanished into purple energy.
With her gone, Rex can finally breathe easily but he kept standing.
Even though his body really wanted to give up and lets him fall down to the ground, Rex knows that Queen Catsha might still be watching and if he fell now then he wouldn't be able to stand up anymore.
It was only after a notification from the system does he finally let himself fall to his knees.
<Sudden Quest Completed!>
<Congratulation on completing the Sudden Quest, the user has obtained 300,000,000,000 Exp, 1,00,000 Gold, and King of Kings passive skill!>
<Level up!>
<Level up!>
Rex lets his body's natural instinct takes over as his breathing becomes rough and short, the blood seeping out of the hole in his chest kept coming out which weakens him more and more. But soon enough he realized that the invisible barrier started to disappear.
Slowly it dissipates from the peak all the way to the root before disappearing completely.
Glancing to the side he finds the aftermath of the battle has been exposed, and the hellish ground has reverted back into a desolate scarred plain once again, 'It's finally over... but we still need to get out of here'
But just as he said that a towering figure landed in front of him.
Even though the figure is monstrous and shadowed Rex over, he doesn't seem to react as he raises his gaze to meet with the figure's golden eyes, "Let me make myself clear, if you're trying to do anything just know that I will kill you. And if you expect me to say thank you, then you're wasting your time because I don't your help"
"Be on your way before I change my mind and kill you all right here, don't think I'm lying..."
The figure is none other than King John alongside the other messengers.
Upon hearing this King John smiled lightly already expecting this kind of reaction from Rex.
Heck if he was Rex then he would do the same thing, "I don't think you're lying, and I've come here for neither of those reasons. You have every right to do what you do, it was not our decision to make. I'm here just to tell you one thing before you go on living your life"
Pausing for a moment, inciting curiosity within Rex, King John then continues.
"We know you're a Werewolf from the start, make do what you want with that knowledge"
After saying that King John alongside the other SCO messengers started to be clouded with green smoke, their bodies then got engulfed before they also left the place. Prof. K has a troubled look on his face while looking at Rex before he got teleported away.
But it seems Rex didn't catch that as his mind is somewhere else.
While kneeling on the ground in silence, Rex processed what King John just said for a moment.
Soon enough he gritted his teeth before he falls on his back.
