Chapter 159 1st Transformed Humanoid Warrior- Ambition
Chapter 159 1st Transformed Humanoid Warrior- Ambition
Gaud's eyes widened as fear appeared in them for the first time.
On seeing the massive blood-red coffin that appeared, his danger instincts tingled as all the hair on his body stood up like daggers. Referencing back to Rex's identity as a vampire, he guessed what this coffin was capable of doing.
He finally knew how Rex being still a new Advanced mystic warrior was able to subordinate 2 powerful Advanced mystic beasts as his pets.
In all his years as a mystic warrior, this was his first time witnessing a master and beast pet relationship like the one Rex enjoyed with his pet beasts.
Just thinking of himself becoming like that sent him into a frenzy.
"Please, don't do it". He begged for the first time.
Rex ignored his pleas as he brought out another mystic treasure that he recently bought. Once he locked Gaud's hands with the energy lock, the flow of mystic energy in his body was instantly locked, leaving him paralyzed.
Rex brought out his death daggers before stabbing him on the left part of his chest where his heart was, then he finally rolled him into the coffin.
As he rolled the human into the coffin, Rex felt some feelings in his heart but he numbed them all, not pausing once as he continued his actions.
With his heart damaged, Gaud still struggled but once the coffin closed, all his struggles and grunts were muffled as the coffin started its dark work on him.
This time, for perfection and to increase the chances of success, Rex preferred to put Gaud into the coffin while he was still alive. Apart from this, he also had other plans in place to increase the success rate of the transformation.
All these was because this was his first humanoid transformation.
Even as he poured his mystic energy into the coffin, Rex also dropped mystic stones one after the other inside the coffin as the hungry coffin absolved them all.
His mystic energy also got exhausted but having prepared for it, he substituted with an energy box that could store mystic energy where he already poured his mystic energy ahead of time.
In the end, the coffin required 3 times the normal amount of Rex's mystic energy limit before it's weird changes finally stopped and it calmed.
His luck shone in the end, after 3 grueling hours of complicated processes that he did not understand, once again, his 3rd transformation and 1st humanoid transformation was a massive success.
[Congratulations! You have created your first transformed humanoid warrior!]
[You have acquired a pure bloodline warrior: Wraith Warrior!]
[Do you want to give your first transformed humanoid warrior a name?]
On seeing the system notifications, Rex finally removed his hands from the coffin. He opened the coffin slowly to allow the humanoid inside to step out.
Gaud was still Gaud, but the life in his eyes was gone. Unlike with the beasts, Gaud's soul seemed to have been killed and was now replaced with a soulless consciousness who was loyal to him and his cause.
Seeing these soulless eyes look back at him in this same body that caused him dread a few weeks ago, Rex felt a chill crawl down his spine.
"I guess I don't really have a choice".
"To fight off my enemies, getting stronger this way is the least that I can do".
As he thought of this, he remembered Ben and Carter. He wondered where his original friends were and what they were up to at the moment.
He hoped they were not dead yet, he hoped they could wait until he became strong enough to take the world by storm and return to help them.
"For you guys, I promise to keep on getting stronger".
"For you guys, I promise not to fall to the dark side".
His works with the Coffin of the Ancients gave evil vibes but Rex didn't see it as pure evil yet, he only intended to use it on scum warriors like Gaud.
After making up his mind, he finally turned to face Gaud again. Before giving it a name, he first wanted to see its system status.

After going through the Wraith Warrior's status, Rex finally confirmed how formidable of a mystic warrior Gaud actually was.
He lost only because he was up against anomalies like the 3 of them.
Knowing that this mystic warrior was a 4th tier Advanced mystic warrior hit Rex more since it showed him that all the effort that he put into becoming a better mystic warrior were not wasted.
He was still a new and green Advanced mystic warrior, this achievement to his name was what gave him the confidence that he needed to go even further.
Rex finally looked at his first transformed humanoid warrior again. "You are a symbol of my goals and my motivation to continue working hard at them".
"From today, you shall no longer be called Gaud, you are now my property, you shall be called Ambition".
"Yes Master". The humanoid warrior kneeled respectfully.
After getting his first humanoid warrior, Rex no longer had any business doing in this prison as he finally left back to the interior of the mansion.
On returning, he rehearsed the explanation that he was about to give. After all the commotion that originated from the coffin, Rex would be a fool to think that his 2 companions did not peek once at what he was going to do.
He did the transformation here also because he wanted to let the both of them on another secret of his, he guessed it was time to tell them about the coffin.
On returning to the living room, he saw Aragorn and Princess Elanor sitting on opposite chairs as they sipped on a glass of wine.
Their acting was textbook perfect, they tried so hard to behave like they saw nothing but Rex was too close to them already, he laughed. "Will you guys stop the pretense already? It's seriously kinda cringe".
Aragorn turned his head to look at him swiftly. "What was that?"
"It is an heirloom from my family".
That was the best and most concise answer that Rex could give. Once he heard it, Aragorn no longer pressed as he nodded his head. "I understand".
On feeling both men turn in her direction, Princess Elanor felt obligated to speak. "I also have a similar heirloom, but its mechanisms are not as dark as yours".
"If things play right, I'll be getting my first pet beast in a month".
With that, this chapter of their lives together finally came to a close since neither side bothered to press deeper to know more about themselves.
Before the other 2 left though, Princess Elanor could not help but ask a question that has been lingering in her mind in recent weeks.
"Am I considered a part of this brotherhood?"
Aragorn and Rex were stomped as they looked at themselves, at the elven princess, then back at themselves before replying. "Do you want in?"
"After the battle against Gaud, if I'll get to fight against more powerful enemies like this alongside you guys, I guess I want in". Elanor smiled.
"Then you're in, right?" Rex turned to look at Aragorn.
"Yeah, you're in". Aragorn nodded. "We already trust you, and that is the most important element in our brotherhood".
With that, the brotherhood welcomed its 3rd member.
Even after taking care of Gaud and swallowing the loot from that great battle, there was still a lot of work to do in the Berserk Gang.
Having expanded in strength and size, some things that the trio originally ignored that were not up to their standards could now begin to be changed.
And after the strength that they all displayed against Gaud and Gang leader Beastmare, every single mystic warrior in the gang already saw them as myths. Respect for them was at an all-time high and they took advantage of it.
Rex took advantage of this opportunity to start his reforms.
If his rise to the top was to start in the Gundam Shelter through the Berserk Gang, he loved to do it his way and not the way that others did.
With Aragorn and Princess Elanor's support, things went on smoothly and in the blink of an eye, it was already 3 months.
