Chapter 221: What Kind of Creature Is that?

"How could this be", Rex mumbles in horror.

With three high ranks Awakened that should be on standby guarding the Great Barricade here, it makes the Great Barricade defenseless.

Two high rank Awakened just went past Beah City,

They're currently fending off the demons in Benrith City that is a setup made by the demons.

In a fit of anger, Rex jumped down and started to kill the four-armed demons that are coming towards him without any hesitation.

His mind is occupied by the shocking realization, 'We got played by the demons!', Rex thought.

<Killed a Peak Rank Four Supernatural, Obtained 100,000 Exp>

<Killed an Early Rank Five Supernatural, Obtained 300,000 Exp>

<Killed an Early-

<Level Up!>

<Obtained 3 Attributable Stats!>

The system kept giving him notifications as he killed the coming demons easily, his level even gone up but his mind is still devastated.

If the Great Barricade got breached then small cities will not be safe anymore.

Supernatural will have the direct means to enter the human territory, and they will surely use this to spread terror as far as they can.

But then suddenly,

CRACK!!

"Hmm?!", Rex widened his eyes in surprise.

His arm suddenly makes a cracking sound as his bones broke, it makes him stunned for a second before a four-armed demon hacks him with its battle-ax.

BAM!!

Rex's body got slammed to the ground and bounce back because of the attack,

"Arghh!", Rex grunted as blood leaked on the corner of his mouth, it's evident that the attack from the four-armed demons somehow manage to hurt him.

The fight he had with the Winged Demon surely takes a toll on him,

The energy blast that he manage to block thanks to his Werewolf Form is a powerful one, and thus his arm got badly injured and thus broken by the exchange.

ROAR!!

Rex opened his eyes and saw the demon already leaped towards him,  He side roll to the side to avoid the four-armed demons' attack.

BOOM!

The ground cracked because of the attack,

But his broken arm didn't completely erase his fighting capability, 

BAM!

Rex kicks the four-armed demon's head as it explodes like a watermelon, he then stands back up and sees the surrounding with heavy eyes.

In the center of the city, he saw a blue demon floating above a skyscraper building.

Its body is surrounded by blue fire, and the blue fire emits terrifying energy that even makes Rex feel his legs tremble upon feeling it.

He then scans the levitating demon,

<Vulvaztih Demon Puppet>

Race: Vulvazith Demon

Power: Rank Six(Early)

Mental: 100

Strength: 327

Agility: 299

Endurance: 512

Intelligence: 256

Looking at this, it confirms what Rex realize before.

'Rank Six? But this terrifying aura shows otherwise', Rex thought.

He then asks the system, 'System, Scan any object, rune, or even spell that makes that weak demon have such terrifying aura'

<Touching the demon is required for scanning>

Reading this, Rex sigh because he can't possibly touch it.

But nevertheless, that levitating demon is just like its name is a puppet demon that somehow emits a terrifying aura that tricks the humans into sending powerful Awakened.

In reality, it's just a measly early rank six demon with below-average stats.

The four-armed demons that invaded the city are only left with a handful, Rex killed most of them, Kyran and Edward probably killed the rest while going out.

"I need to go to Benrith City to tell them about the situation but", Rex saw the demons he fought before starting to regenerate.

It's the demonic ground that came out of nowhere, it supply the demons with demonic energy.

RAAHH!

Another four-armed demon leaped towards Rex as its body got healed, Rex elbowed the demons and shatter its skull again.

"I didn't get any Exp", Rex thought with a frown.

He then added, "The demons I killed will not give me any exp even if they revived, what a bummer", Rex then open the system's shop.

With his broken left arm, Rex's fighting capabilities will weaken.

There are still humans hiding inside the city that need to be saved, and Rex planned to take them all out before he left the city.

He then bought a healing elixir from the shop,

An elixir appeared on his hand with a green substance in it, he popped it as Kyran and Edward appeared from around the corner.

They saw Rex's condition when suddenly, Kyran's eyes darted to the right.

He senses two creatures that suddenly appeared from the middle of the city, "REX!! WATCH OUT!!", he shouted to warn Rex.

SWOOSH!!

Rex heard Kyran's shout, he also felt something approaching him from the back, but he sense it late because of the condition he's in,

STAB!!

Three claws pierced through Rex's abdomen cleanly, "HUAKHH!"

Rex spat a mouthful of blood as he got lifted from the ground, he grits his teeth trying to endure the throbbing pain on his abdomen.

He looks back slowly and saw another winged demon stabbing him from the back.

'There are two Winged Demons?!', Rex thought in surprise.

The winged demon lean closer to Rex's ear and said with clear anger, "You must be the one that killed him"

Hearing this, Rex smiles mockingly, "What are you gonna do about it?"

SRKKH!

The winged demon pierced Rex's stomach deeper making Rex groan in pain, "Your life is under my mercy, so wipe that smug face of yours!", the winged demon said harshly.

"LET GO OF HIM!!"

CLANG! 

CLANG!!

Edward and Kyran leaped towards the winged demon to try to help Rex,

Their bodies glow with a different energy as they put their all in attacking the winged demon, but the disparity between their strength is too far.

"FIRE TITAN ART! COLOSSAL PUNCH!"

BAM!!

Edward pours all of his mana into one attack,

The attack landed solidly on the winged demon's back, but Edward widened his eyes in surprise when he saw the winged demon is not hurt at all.

It didn't even budge on its spot, the winged demon can hardly feel it.

Kyran is also not going to stand still, he leaped towards the claws that the winged demon use to stab Rex and hit it a couple of times to no avail,

His try in breaking the winged demon's claw is futile,

Even Edward with blazing fire enveloping his daggers can't do anything to the winged demon, but he kept swinging his daggers desperately.

SWOOSH!!

The winged demon flicks its tail and sends Edward and Kyran flung away.

It didn't need to try at all, the winged demon just flicks its tail gently as Kyran and Edward get sent crashing away like ants.

"Watch as I kill your friends", the winged demon whispers to Rex brutally.

But then suddenly,

Tssss!!

The winged demon frown when it hears a steaming sound, it looks down towards its claws that pierced Rex and saw that Rex's blood becomes steaming hot.

Rex then looks back as a red crescent moon symbol appeared on his forehead.

Looking at this, the winged demon throws Rex away fearing that Rex will do something.

BAM!

Rex got thrown away before hitting the ground a couple of meters away,

He then slowly stands back up before Delta and Kyran landed beside him while glaring at the winged demon menacingly.

The stab wound on Rex's stomach stopped healing as his aura becomes stronger.

"You ask for this", Rex said before his body blurred.

BOOM!!

Rex forcefully activates back the Pure Brace of Moonlight and Yellow Force as he dashes towards the winged demon followed by Delta and Kyran.

Kyran's body glows with a blue hue while Delta's body emits white Force.

The three of them exchange blows with the winged demon, they attack in turns as if they're in sync with one another,

BAM!!

Rex's punch enhanced with Force Beam got planted directly on the winged demon's stomach, this makes the winged demon stumble backward.

With the Berserk Curse active, his power almost rivals his Werewolf Form.

BAM!

Kyran suddenly appeared from the winged demon's shadow as he landed a blow on the back of the winged demon's knee forcing him on one knee.

ROAR!!

The winged demon roared angrily but Delta suddenly leaped towards the winged demon and slash the winged demon's face,

SLASH!

Black smoke can be seen leaking from the scratch mark on its face,

They kept attacking the winged demon in turns while avoiding the winged demon's counter-attack, and this is not a problem for Delta and Kyran.

Edward can only watch from the side in shock, his hands are holding his bleeding stomach that got pierced by a sharp wood from crashing into a house.

He saw how the three of them lay waste on the winged demon, and he's also surprised by the red symbol on Rex's forehead.

But then suddenly,

ROAR!!

Kyran and Delta got flung away by the immense shockwave brought by the roar,

Rex glance at the winged demon and saw that the wounds all over the winged demon's body starting to heal by the blue fire on the ground.

'This terrain is a problem, we can't win against it', Rex thought while holding his ground.

With only one arm to use, Rex kept dodging the winged demon's attack and reply with a powerful counter-attack with his right hand.

But even with their combined attack, it's still not enough.

BAM!!

"RAAGH!!", Kyran shouted in pain as he was sent crashing away alongside Delta.

They got hit by the winged demon's tail,

Rex jumped back to create distance as the winged demon's injuries regenerate, "You will not win against me, now, prepare to die!", the winged demon shouted.

But then, Kyran suddenly signals Rex to look at his side.

Rex looks at his side before he frowns when he saw lumps on the ground heading towards him as if there's something below the blue fiery ground.

Without wasting any second, Rex jumped back a bit more to avoid the lumps on the ground.

It went past Rex's place and headed towards the winged demon.

The winged demon also frown as it looks at the lumps on the ground heading towards him, the winged demon then flaps its wings to avoid the lump when suddenly,

SCREECHH!!

An insectoid creature suddenly burst from the fiery ground,

The insectoid creature grabs the winged demon as it drags the winged demon back to the ground, its mouth filled with sharp teeth then gnawed on the winged demon's arm.

"AARGH!!", the winged demon shouted in agony.

Without wasting another second, the winged demon punches the insectoid creature that is currently gnawing on his left arm.

BAM!

The insectoid creature got slammed to the side because of the punch.

Rex saw this scene with a frown, 'What kind of creature is that?', he thought.

The insectoid creature that burst from the ground came out of nowhere and started attacking the winged demon, it caught Rex and the others by surprise.

Its aura is also weird, 'Its aura feels just like a cursed creature', Rex thought.

Although it only focuses on attacking the winged demon, Rex still needs to be cautious.

There's no guarantee that the insectoid creature will not attack him too, and Rex will need to be careful in approaching the fight.

"Edward, Kyran!! Go and protect Adhara's father!", Rex shouted.

With Kyran and Edward here, Rex knows that they already put Adhara's father in a safe place.

But with Edward and Kyran here, he can't turn into a Werewolf as he likes so he needed them to leave this place first.

Hearing this, Edward and Kyran immediately left the place.

They will not be able to help with the creature and the winged demon fighting, and they definitely know it.

After they left, Rex gets readies to join the fight when suddenly,

CRASH!!

The insectoid creature is suddenly sent crashing to Rex's side, this makes Rex step back trying to figure out the insectoid creature's side.

Screech!!

The insectoid creature roars angrily, it saw Rex standing on its side and stop for a moment.

Rex and the creature gaze into each other for a moment before they both glance at the winged demon, 'It seems this creature is after that winged demon', Rex thought.

With a thought, Rex's body turns into his Werewolf form.

Even with his left arm broken, the berserk curse puts his power way higher than normal.

He might even contend with a mid-rank six right now, Rex can feel his body filled with immense power that makes his body tremble.

With a smile, Rex and the insectoid creature attacks the winged demon.

ROAR!!

The insectoid creature looks like a worm with many legs, it jumped on the winged demon as it wrapped its body on the winged demon just like a snake.

Rex also came into the picture,

In this form, he can kill the winged demon and it will be easier with the help of the creature.

BAM!

He punched the winged demon that is pinned on the ground, he landed a solid punch that makes the ground burst under the immense power.

Houses and buildings on the surrounding cracked because of this punch.

The winged demon roars weakly as it felt Rex's punch drilling a hole on its chest, even the fiery blue ground can't heal him fast enough.

With the last strand of the winged demon's strength,

Its body exploded with demonic energy making the insectoid creature let go, the winged demon then wanted to flap its wing away but Rex didn't let that happen,

Rex grabs the winged demon's tail, "RAARGHH!!"

BAM!

He slammed the winged demon back on the ground by swinging its tail.

The insectoid creature then stabs its sharp legs to the winged demon's body pinning it on the ground.

The winged demon tries to break free to no avail,

It saw Rex's body illuminated by the moonlight as his fists glowed with a yellow hue, the winged demon instinctively know that the next attack will end this fight.

After closing its eyes, Rex's fist landed on the winged demon's face.

BOOM!!

The winged demon's head exploded under Rex's all-out punch, 

Rex pull back his hand harshly as the system notification appeared in front of him,
