Chapter 92: Killing Chris Sullivan

Rex wears his battle gloves as he spreads his hands, "Let's see who will survive this night!"

BOOM!!

The ground cracked under Rex's might,

Rex flashes from his spot turning into a black current, he already envelopes his body with Force and also black lightning.

His movement is lightning fast, Ronal grabs his battleax and puts it in front of him in defense.

BAM!!

In a flash, Rex already sent a punch but got blocked by Ronald's battleax.

"Your talent is limitless, I don't know who you are or where you come from, but you will die today!", Ronald said as a red rune on his left arm glows fiery, fire mana started to havoc around his body, it then creates concentrated fire mana before suddenly, "Nova Burst!!"

BOOM!

The red barrier exploded right in front of Rex sending him flinging away, his skin is scorched by the fire.

Fire burns the surroundings making the night lit up in flame, the fire stubbornly envelops the surrounding inflame even though water came out of the white ground after detecting the fire.

Rex regains his standing but Ronald already dashes towards Kiru, he didn't even jump over Chris's corpses in respect.

Kiru was still shocked but he shakes his daze and turns into smoke, he turned into smoke right before a fiery battleax slash past him.

Swoosh!!

It sent devastating shockwaves to the surrounding, it scorched everything that caught in its trajectory.

Although Kiru can evade the attack, the high-rank fire still scorched him because of the heat it emitted, and also the fire got enhanced by the battleax Ronald wield.

"Ahh!", Kiru's smoke form got swatted away as he turns back to normal.

Before he got back up, Ronald's hand already burns with fire as he spits out a bright orange flame from his hand burning Kiru's body.

Kiru's well-being is unknown, he is burning with flame.

Ronald's eyes glister, he then glances at Edward fiercely before dashing in like a raging fiery bull.

"Fire Titan Art! Unbreakable Body!", Edward chanted as his body cracked with fire, it sways around stiffly because of Ronald's fire suppression but the fiery figure still emerges from Edward's body and shields him.

CLANG!!!

The fiery figure got destroyed instantly, 

Edward who is an early rank four Awakened doesn't stand a chance against Ronald, he got flung away crashing into the wall before breaking it.

Blood spurted all around his body endlessly, only one attack from Ronald almost killed him.

Ronald didn't stop, he intended to finish all the guys around before fighting Rex.

It is a good strategy because he can feel that killing Rex will be harder than the rest, although Ronald can only feel a rank two power from Rex, Rex's demeanor makes him on guard.

He raises his battleax and swung it down intending to finish Edward but got intercepted,

Rex gritted his teeth as he uses his flash skill to intercept the battleax, he can't watch his only friend died again.

BAM!!

Rex crossed his arm in front of his body, the battle gloves clash against the battleax violently.

Fire shockwave gushed out because of the impact, the ground beneath Rex cracked making him kneel on one leg!

The Force Barrier around him got destroyed, one can also see that Rex's battle gloves can hardly sustain one attack from Ronald, 'It's heavy! I don't have much choice'

On the other hand, Ronald was shocked!

'This kid, he can even block my attack?!', he thought, he can't believe that a teenager like Rex can be his match.

Out of nowhere, Rex's body glows as moonlight energy got sucked into him.

<the user's="" stats="" have="" been="" increased="" by="" 25%=""></the>

Rex felt his power brimming with energy, he turns his hand and gripped the battleax. 

Ronald was surprised to see the sudden change,

Rex's hands got burned by the Eternal Fire but he held on with the help of his fire resistance that played their part, Rex can somehow felt that some of the fire heat got canceled.

He then stands back up while holding the battleax under Ronald's gaze,

Seeing this, Ronald's eyes widened even more!

Before Rex can do anything, 

Edward didn't want to be a burden, he jumped from Rex's back and punches Ronald's face, "Colossal Punch!"

BAM!

The punch landed solidly but Edward's fire didn't scratch Ronald's,

"You pesky little brat! You can't hurt me!", the punch didn't even move Ronald even for a bit but that gives a solid two seconds window for Rex.

Rex parry the battleax, he goes under Ronald as his fists glow with a white hue,

"Force Beam!!"

BAM!!

"Huakh!!", Ronald was caught off guard because of Edward's distraction.

He was surprised by the strength from Rex's punches, he didn't expect Rex's punch to be this heavy as he spat a mouthful of blood.

Ronald gritted his teeth before he punches Rex making him flew to the side, Ronald is still a rank five Awakened and his hit are all very powerful.

He then looks at Edward fiercely as he reaches out his fiery hand to Edward,

Edward can only roll to the side dodging Ronald's hand, he knew that another hit from Ronald will certainly end him.

SWOOSH!!

Edward frown in pain, although he dodges it the heat Ronald emit is no joke.

The Eternal Fire corrodes his body even though he's also a Fire Elementalist.

From the corner of his eyes, he saw Rex is sneaking from the back so Edward decided to just hold on a bit longer.

Ronald is swinging his fiery battleax madly, he didn't care what got in his way.

Although Ronald's movement is fast, Edward manages to dodge with as little movement as possible thanks to his training in the military.

Just after Edward desperately dodges Ronald's attack, 

Ronald suddenly stops in his track, the heat emitting from him started to grow hotter and hotter, "Do you think I will fall to the same thing again?!", he roared.

His eyes flash as if a flame burning inside it, he glanced at Rex who already leaped towards him.

Seeing this, Rex wanted to dodge but he can't change his momentum suddenly to dodge Ronald's attack.

He can see that Ronald's next spell is a very powerful one, the fire mana gather like crazy and it is also enhanced by the rune on his arm.

The fire around Ronald's body becomes thicker, it turns into two circles enveloping his arm and also his battleax.

The rune on his left arm glows responding to the two fire circles, fire mana got condensed into his battleax making the ground tremble, "Great Magic! Ring of Hellfire!"

In the nick of the intense moment, 'What do I do? I can't dodge this', Rex thought.

'This attack will surely cut me in half, I can't defend against this. Even if I use Alpha Intimidation, it will still cut me in half', his eyes are glued to Ronald.

He's trying to think of something then he realized, 'The system's reward!'

From killing Chris he just got an item that he didn't know, he got 10 High Ore of Versatility. Without thinking much, 'System! Use every item I have to enhance my body!'

10 Ores and a white fang suddenly appear out of nowhere and merge with Rex's body, then notifications appeared.

<obtained 4000="" body="" exp=""></obtained>

<obtained 2000="" claw="" exp=""></obtained>

Rex puts everything on the line, he activates Alpha Intimidation to lowers Ronald's firepower.

<the target's="" stats="" has="" been="" decreased="" by="" 30%=""></the>

SWOOSH!!

Ronald got dazed for a little but he still swings his battleax in a circle, it sent a fire slash around his body threatening to burn the surrounding in flame.

The fire slash is akin to volcanoes erupting within Ronald's body, it turns the surrounding in red.

"What happen here?", a couple of FAA members hears the loud commotion. 

They wanted to check where the commotion came from but were greeted by a devastating battle, their legs went weak in shock as they saw a fire slash aiming towards them.

Rex's eyes turn bloodshot, he gathers all the white force he can and split them into two. One for enveloping his body while one gathers on his hand.

He did this in less than a second, the fire slash is already in front of him.

It brought an unimaginable heat as if Rex is standing beside a volcano, it sizzles everything into black charcoal no matter what it is.

Edward already takes cover behind the small warehouse wall, he will not get hit directly by the fire slash.

Rex on the other hand already gritted his teeth as he punches the fire slash with all his might, he also added his black lightning, "Force Beam!"

BOOM!!

The force, the black lightning, and the fire mana clashes violently resisting each other, this creates powerful shockwaves of different colors.

Rex held out his punch not intending to back down, he can feel his bones cracking and his skin burning.

His battle gloves shattered because of the collision, it can't handle the amount of heat from the fire slash.

"RAARGHH!!", Rex roared as the fire slash destroyed his Force Beam and slash his gut.

BOOM!!

The fire slash exploded upon contacting Rex's body, It was so devastating that it destroyed all of the areas in hundreds of meters diameter.

A black cloud of smoke covers the whole place, it envelopes everyone's vision.

Ronald stands straight as he looks at the cloud of smoke, he squinted his eyes trying to locate Rex's whereabouts, 'He's dead, right? There's no way he can be alive after that'

His breath is heavy, it takes a huge chunk of his stamina by using that skill.

The place is in ruins, the warehouses got flattened, and even the ground is broken.

*Cough* *Cough*

Edward coughs as he struggles to stand up, he then realized that Rex just got hit by Ronald's ultimate attack, 'Rex?! Where is he?!'

The place is silent, there is no sound coming out of Rex's direction.

Ronald nodded his head as he glances at the remaining people,

Edward was stunned as he felt Ronald's glance, he's in a bad shape. His head is bleeding and his arms are burnt.

On the other hand, Kiru and Miru are not that much better either.

Kiru is coughing blood, he got hit by Ronald's Eternal Fire and it still feels like his body is burning and he's paralyzed while Miru is unmoving.

Thud!

Thud!

Ronald stomps the ground angrily towards Edward, he got a brutal smile on his face.

Although Ronald looks okay, Edward can see that Ronald is exhausted. He's probably will end up with Mana Exhaustion if he keeps on going, 'I must stall and make him more tired'

Edward gets into his battle position forcefully, he needs to at least buy 10 minutes.

But just before Ronald can get any closer,

BLITZ!!

"Huh?", Ronald glance to the side and saw a claw enveloped in black lightning right in front of his eyes, he widened his eyes in shock.

SLASH!!

"AAKHH!! YOU BASTARD!!", Ronald shouted in pain, he's holding his right eye that is already hollow with nothing in it.

He kneels while holding his head, the pain from having his right eye removed is not something he can endure.

Rex appeared out of nowhere with heavy breaths, Ronald's right eye is on his hand. 

He's in very bad shape.

There is a brutal slash wound on his stomach that is bleeding profusely, his head is bleeding, his body is burnt in multiple places, and his clothes got burned leaving him shirtless.

His regenerative ability help him to sustain his injury, and also his sheer willpower.

"HOW?! YOU'RE JUST A DAMN RANK TWO!!", Ronald roared angrily, his strongest attack can't even kill a rank two Awakened.

It's not that he's weak, regular rank two Awakened or even peak rank four Awakened will definitely get obliterated by him but Rex is not just only a rank two Awakened, he's also a Werewolf and have the system.

Rex inhales a deep breath and closes his eyes, he then exhales while slowly opening his cold eyes before he suddenly disappears.

He uses flash to close the distance between him and Ronald with his arm glowing with a white hue, his nails turned into claws as he intended to finish Ronald off.

It is at lightning speed that even Edward got dazed by Rex's movement.

Ronald forcefully stands back up,

He tries to gather fire mana but to his surprise, he can't do it.

He widened his eyes, something is messing up with his mana channeling and he doesn't have enough mana to remove it forcefully.

Rex's attack before contains his black lightning, due to Ronald weakened state the black lightning manages to disturbed his insides.

Awakened can also get exhausted, if they got exhausted then they can't gather mana. Force, on the other hand, is limitless.

Rex can use it infinitely because his body naturally absorbs Force, unlike mana that needs to be replenished.

"NO!! I can't lose to a brat!", Ronald shouted but it was no use.

CRACK!!

Rex's claw pierced straight through Ronald's right chest, blood started to flow violently as Ronald's eyes turn red. 

He can't even react before Rex's claw stabbed through him, Rex's claw penetrate his chest completely until it came out of his back.

'What? How did he?'

Spurt!!

Ronald coughs out blood as he holds Rex's hand, he raises his head up to meet Rex.

Rex's murderous eyes stare at Ronald coldly,

Ronald can see Rex's wounds emitting white steam as it started to close little by little, it was a bizarre scene making Ronald's eyes widened helplessly.

"What are you?", Ronald struggles to say the words.

Rex smiles deviously, he then pulls out his hands violently before he answers slowly, "I'm...not a human"

Ronald went on his knees with widened eyes, he struggles to look up and saw Rex's devious smile.

Fear started to envelop him but it didn't last long,

SLASH!!

He slashed Ronald's head off without even batting an eye, 

Ronald can only widen his eyes as Rex's words permeate into his brain all the way until his soul got ripped by the grim reaper itself.
