Chapter 163: Ambush and Meeting Reed Family

Rex leaves Emham Forest after leaving the guy and the girl alone, 'I should've killed them but my hand is too bloodied right now', Rex thought.

He becomes uneasy with himself because he already killed many people.

The people he killed before are all bad guys, he knows that it is the right thing to do but now his hands become lighter upon killing a human.

Rex looks at his hand and saw that it is warm and still.

He becomes used to killing humans just like he kills Supernatural, 

Rex frowns while seeing his hand as a flash of every people he killed crossed his mind, he clenched his fist and steeled his will, 'It's a must to become stronger, soon I will stop killing human'

After steeling himself, Rex exit Emham Forest.

Upon leaving Emham Forest, Rex saw a couple of people wearing light green uniforms.

There are four people wearing light green uniforms, two women and two men and they're all looking at Rex signaling him to come closer.

Rex approaches them and nodded his head, they then went to the designated location Rex will meet with the Reed Family.

They left using a flying car, it's Rex's first time riding something like this.

The car is spacious for five people, there are refreshments in the car and also the seat is made of rich leather that's comfortable to sit on.

Rex scans the people inside and found that two of them are peak rank five while the other two are unidentified, it can only mean that they're higher than early rank six.

From the system's scan, the leader of the group is called Ari.

The ride is uneventful because none of them talk during the ride, they arrive at the place after riding for two hours.

The car landed in a place, Rex frowns when he sees outside the window.

"Why are we stopping here? I thought the place will be in a house?", Rex asks after seeing the place they're currently in is a suburb place.

The place is muddy with people wearing haggard clothes roaming the place, many of them run and hide when they saw Rex and the others walk past them, they all look so poor.

From the muddy and poor scenery, it's certainly not sector 3.

One of the men then replied, "We'll attract too much attention if we use a flying car"

'Makes sense', Rex thought before he follows them.

If they decided to use a flying car then they will broadcast that they're an important people, only a few people use a flying car that has a great background.

With the Atkins blaming the Reed Family, it'll be bad for them to use a flying car.

After walking for a couple of minutes, 

Rex frowns before he approaches the man in front that seems to be the leader and said, "Someone is following us"

Hearing this, the man signals to the other to get ready.

They take a turn to the right towards an alley that can only fit four people at a time, they're speed-walking through the alley without looking back.

But when they're about to exit the alley, a group of people intercepted them.

Three people appear from the end of the alley wearing a brown robe that covers their body, from their looks alone one can tell that they're bad people.

Seeing this, Ari turns to his back and signals to the other to turn back.

But another three people wearing brown robes appear from the other end, they trapped Rex and the others in the alley.

Rex turns alert, he scans all of the people wearing brown robes.

He then whispers to Ari that is currently holding the hilt of his saber, "Four Peak Rank Five, and Two rank six"

Ari looks at Rex with a hesitant look, he saw Rex's determined look before he nodded his head.

"Jim, take Regina and Rex to fight the group in front", Ari commanded making Jim who has daggers on his side nodded his head.

One of the women then asks, "You sir? Are you going to fight 2 on 3?"

Hearing this, a smirk appeared on Ari's face before suddenly a green figure with a shield and sword appeared on his back.

"Don't worry, Me and Irene will finish the group on the back quickly", Ari said before he cracked his neck while taking out his saber.

Ari is quite a big man but not as big as Rex, but nevertheless, his frame is big and his aura is like a bullet piercing anything that comes too close to him.

Rex was even surprised when he feel the violent aura coming from Ari.

"I don't know who you are, but you better get out of our way if you value your lives", Ari said tauntingly, the spirit behind him also smile tauntingly at the group of robed people.

Just after he said that,

SWOOSH!

One of the robed people dashes towards him while green wings growing from the back, it boosted the speed of the robed people drastically.

CLANG!

A sword and a saber clashes against each other as a fight breakout.

Looking at Ari fighting against the robed man, Rex immediately activates all of his skills to prepare himself for the fight that is about to break out.

His body glows with a white hue as he activates his Pure Brace of Moonlight and Force.

Jim and Regina that are beside Rex can feel his power rising by the second, it's like Rex's power got boosted out of nowhere.

CRACK!

Black Lightning also started to sizzle around Rex's body violently, his eyes then glister as he said, "I'll take the one on the right!"

BOOM!

The ground cracked as Rex tackles the robed people on the right.

Although the robed people's face is covered, Rex can still feel the shock he felt when Rex suddenly arrives in front of him and tackles him.

It happens in a split second before Rex and the man got flung to the back.

The day is already night, 

With the boost Rex got from his Creature of the Night and his other skills, Rex's power has been doubled making him on par to mid-rank five or even peak rank five!

Looking at Rex stealing the first turn, Regina and Jim also jumped the robed people.

Rex recovers and dashes towards the man that is still trying to get up, his fists glow with a white hue as he activates his Force Beam.

BOOM!

His punch missed and hit the wall behind the robed man and instantly destroying it.

The hole Rex creates on the wall is so big that the people inside the house got hit by the bricks, they scream and run when they realized that a fight has broken out.

Rex looks at the robed man and saw that a fist already appeared beside his face.

BAM!

Rex got flung upwards like a jet, his body crashed to the wall before he penetrate the wall and burst through the rooftop.

'A close combat Awakened!', Rex thought as he can feel the punch is heavy.

His enhanced body should've been able to block a normal punch easily, but the punch hurt him for quite a bit.

This means that the Awakened in front of Rex is adept in using his mana to fority his body.

BOOM! 

BOOM!

The sound of fighting can be heard from the other places where the others are currently fighting, the sector is in chaos because of their fight.

Rex looks to his front and saw the robed man is taking off his robe.

Underneath the robe lies a muscular man that looks like a barbarian with many tattoos on his arms, scars decorate his body and face signifying that he's an experienced fighter, and he uses nothing as a weapon except his fists.

Looking at this, Rex's competitive nature lit up.

He also ripped his t-shirt and shows his muscular body that is trained as steel, he then waves his hand tauntingly.

The man was surprised when he saw Rex's body is more developed than him.

But seeing Rex's taunting face makes his blood boil, "RAARGH!!"

BOOM!

The man dashes towards Rex like an angry bull, he wraps his hands around Rex's waist trying to tackle him but to his surprise, he can't.

The power behind the man tackle is not enough, 

Rex only got pushed a couple of meters as the ground cracked, he then stopped the man and elbowed him right on his spine.

BAM!

"Huakh!!", the man grunted in pain.

He got slammed to the ground because of Rex's attack,

Rex wants to follow up his attack but the man's body suddenly glow with a green hue, he then stopped his attack before suddenly,

SLASH!

A wind slash suddenly scratches Rex's face, it comes out of nowhere that it caught Rex off guard.

The man then stands up to his feet,

His fists gather wind mana violently as it creates a wind barrier on his fist, he then swung his fist towards Rex angrily,

BOOM!

But instead of Rex getting blasted away, his fist got stopped by Rex.

Rex catches the man's fist easily as his body blitzing with black lightning, a violent spark is created by the collision between black and green mana.

It makes the man widened his eyes in surprise when he saw Rex manage to catch his fist.

Then, a disturbing smile appears on Rex's face.

STAB!

Rex's hands that catch the man's fist suddenly turn into claws, it penetrates the man's fist and completely disabling it.

"ARGHH!!", the man shouted in pain.

His fist got stabbed by Rex's claws creating five gaping holes, Rex's claw completely destroys his fist turning it into dangling meat.

The man holds his hand in pain, his eyes turn red as he looks at Rex with a surprised expression, "What...How is this possible?"

Rex looks at the man with the same disturbing smile, 

The ground beneath him suddenly turns black as Rex activates his Black Field Orko, the black lightning started to wrap around the man's body making him unable to move.

A black pale aura started to fill the man's body as he looks at Rex in terror, the man started to get scared of Rex.

Without wasting another second, 

SLASH!

Rex slashed the man's head off, the head spins on the air a couple of times before it falls to the ground with a thudding sound.

<Killed a Mid Rank Five Awakened, Obtained 300,000 Exp>

After killing the man in front of him, Rex went back to the alley and found the other fight has also been concluded.

He approached Ari and saw that there's a corpse beside him, it was Regina and Irene.

Regina and Irene lost against the robed people, Ari obliterated the rest after he and Jim killed the rank six Awakened robed people.

Ari paused for a moment before he said, "Let's keep moving"

Rex looks at the two corpses before he sighs, he then follows Ari and Jim after putting the corpses in a nearby garbage container.

They resume their walk and after about another half an hour, they arrive at the place.

Rex arrives at a house that is guarded by many Awakened, the weakest amongst them are rank five while the strongest is located inside.

He doesn't need the system to feel the strongest, the person inside is filled with mana.

'This mana, It feels different than normal', Rex thought, the mana coming from outside felt thicker and weird than usual.

It's like mana but another form of it that Rex doesn't know.

Rex went inside the house under the guard's guidance, 

Inside the house, he saw a man sitting on a somekind of throne, he gracefully gazes at Rex's eyes like a royalty with his cold eyes.

The man has black hair with a dash of grey signing his old age, his body is skinny, the weird mana Rex feels is coming from this man sitting on the throne, and also there's a gaping hole on each of the man's palms but it's not bleeding.

Rex saw a familiar face beside the man sitting on the throne, he's Deniz he meet in a cafe before with the detective.

"Welcome Rex, I heard that you met trouble on your way but thankfully you manage to arrive here", Deniz said after seeing Rex is topless.

He then added, "I hope you didn't lose our spellbooks"

Rex bows his body slightly and said, "I have it with me, thank you for your concern", he acts politely because the man sitting on the throne is watching him.

He then thought, 'So this man sitting on the throne must be the head of Reed Family, Stevanus Reed'
