Splash!

Rex got out of the man-made lake after finishing the preparation,

Everyone can see that the water level of the man-made lake started to decrease at a rapid pace, and the entire man-made lake started bubbling in heat.

It's all because of the blood-red fire coming from Ryze,

After getting out of the water, Rex noticed that Adhara and also Kyran has finished their fight.

The masked figures have a peak sixth rank power but they all are clumsy, it's like a normal human with no sort of training suddenly given the power of an Awakened.

Because of that, beating the masked figures is relatively easy.

While inspecting the entire place and finding that most of the people in this sector have already left, Rex was about to wait for the event to play out but he suddenly sense something.

Billy who is on his back dashes toward the man-made lake intending to go inside it.

Rex who noticed this stopped him by holding onto his chest before he said, "Don't go in there, you'll get burnt to death by the fire"

Since the man-made lake and even the entire sector is integrated with mana,

The water inside the lake is also not normal water, it's water imbued with mana resulting in its sparkly and comfortable feeling but even this water got scorched by the fire.

From the system's description, the blood-red fire should be the Fire of Chaos.

It's similar to Evelyn's fire but the Fire of Chaos has a darker red tint to it and based on the system, this fire can melt anything it touches using its scorching heat.

"You don't understand... I need that power!", Billy said trying to force himself through Rex.

But before Billy can even jump into the man-made lake, Adhara suddenly arrived on the back, she hit the back of Billy's head sending him unconscious.

She did it so smoothly and without any difficulty,

Billy falls to the ground with a thud before both Adhara and Rex look at the man-made lake.

While looking at the man-made lake Adhara can't help but gasp in surprise, she can feel her purple fire getting riled from the presence of this Fire of Chaos.

"Is Ryze going to be okay?", she asks in concern.

Right now the level of the man-made river has decreased by 40%, it's got boiled pretty fast.

Kyran and Gistella also landed beside them as they look at the man-made lake,

Even after following the system's instructions, Rex doesn't know how this will play out and whether Ryze will survive without any side effects, "I don't know...", he replied lightly.

BOOM!!

The entire man-made lake rumbles, the dark red light starting to be visible from the ground.

When they're waiting for the event to play out, Kyran suddenly looks to the back and said, "I think the Rirgas Family is heading here, What do you want to do with them, Rex?"

"Adhara and Kyran, you two go and keep them out of here", Rex commanded.

Hearing this, both of them nodded their heads, they realized that the Rirgas Family probably will hear them out and Gistella is more useful in this situation.

After nodding their heads, the both of them then turn around and dash away.

Looking at the shaking buildings in the surrounding that seem about to collapse because of the pressure from Ryze, Rex takes out a crystal from the inventory and gave it to Gistella, "Create a barrier around that dark red light, hold on for as long as you can"

Receiving the crystal, Gistella nodded her head before her eyes glowed with bluish energy.

She crushed the crystal that Rex gave and instantly after that the energy in her body becomes even stronger as it got amplified from the energy coming from the crystal, the invisible horn on Gistella's forehead started to vibrate as she slowly creates a barrier around the core of the sheer pressure coming from the dark red light.

Gritting her teeth, Gistella channels all of her power to create a powerful box-shaped barrier.

"Haarghh!!", Gistella grunted while slowly amassing enough energy to create the barrier.

BOOM!

Another wave of explosion exploded from the dark light making the box-shape barrier that Gistella created wobble, blood even started to leak out of her mouth.

Even with the amplification from the crystal, it's still hard for Gistella to maintain the barrier.

It didn't take long before suddenly,

ROARR!!!

The entire place shook after a powerful and domineering roar can be heard, the dark red light coming from where Ryze and the pendant creates an illusionary roaring dragon, its sheer presence brings immense pressure to the surrounding.

With the exception of Rex, other people that are within the scope of the pressure knelt.

Even Gistella who is just beside Rex slowly surrendered to the pressure, she slowly knelt down even though she tries to resist and kept standing while maintaining the barrier.

But the barrier is still withstanding the pressure thankfully,

Gistella tries desperately to uphold Rex's command, no matter how hard it is to keep wrapping the energy coming from Ryze and the pendant with the barrier.

She's determined to preserve through the ordeal.

Meanwhile,

Adhara and Kyran left Rex and Gistella to stop the advancing Rirgas Family.

While they're dashing through the street intending to head to the Ice Cascade direction, they both started to frown when they smell some foul scent.

Both of them look at each other knowing full well what this foul scent is,

After taking a turn, they are greeted by the scene of many corpses wearing a distinctive white cape that they know belongs to the FAA.

"I thought it to be weird for the FAA to not show up in such an event...", Adhara mumbles lightly.

Kyran also frown even harder when he saw that there is at least more than a hundred corpses lying on the ground in front of him, "They're all killed, this will definitely be a problem"

Snapping out of their dazes, Kyran knelt beside a corpse and checks its body.

"It's a trap, this must be the masked people's doings", he said after smelling the burnt smell.

Adhara nodded her head in agreement before the sound of marching footsteps can be heard, the two of them raises their gazes and finds at least two hundred Awakened marching at the end of the street led by a blonde-haired woman with icy looks.

Just from the woman's appearance alone, Kyran and Adhara recognized the woman.

It's Luisella...

From the ruckus that was caused by the masked figures and also the event that is currently happening with Ryze, it's no surprise that the Rirgas Family makes a move.

This is their territory after all, and it is even a bit weird for them to arrive this late.

Marching in a union, Luisella squints her eyes when she saw two familiar people standing in the middle of the street filled with FAA Awakened corpses.

But when she got nearer, she realized that both of them are Kyran and Adhara.

"What happened here?", Luisella asks with accusing eyes.

Hearing this, Adhara is the first one to reply, "Sector 3B got attacked by a group of unknown people, Rex is currently dealing with it so I advised you to help the situation by searching for the people of this sector that are not evacuated yet"

"Okay, I'll do that but if it's a terrorist then let us help fight them too", Luisella replied.

Kyran turns into a shadow before reappearing just a couple of feet in front of Luisella, he looks at Luisella with sharp eyes before he said, "This is our problem, we have a vendetta with this group so back off"

"Are you serious?! This is our sector and we have to keep our reputation! Let us help", Luisella replied with a slight bit of anger, she's not used to being talked to like this.

This is sector 3B and the people here know that they're the protector here,

If a terrorist attack appeared and instead of fighting the terrorist the Rirgas Family only helped the people evacuate then they will look weak, she doesn't want that.

But her reply makes Kyran's face darken, "Did you forget? We own you..."

Hearing this, all of the Awakened associated with the Rirgas Family that is now gathered are angered by what Kyran said, it's an insult that they didn't expect to come from a kid.

"You don't own us, we only work for Rex", Luisella said slightly gritting her teeth.

Kyran tilts his head a little as his expression turns violent, the dark element around his body swirl powerfully before a ghastly spirit appeared behind him that appears more like a ghost.

A smokey dark spirit appears on Kyran's back,

The spirit possesses a terrifying amount of spirit energy and its head is covered with a black hood, its face is completely black showing only a pair of yellow eyes and uneven rows of sharp teeth that are smiling ever so terrifyingly. Falling black ashes decorates its body as if it was a part of itself, while a black spear is in its hand with black souls hovering around it.

Luisella was surprised by the appearance of Kyran's spirit, it even frighten the other Awakened.

"That's a spirit?!'

'I can't... move!'

'My spirit is not listening to me, what the heck is that?!'

All of the Awakened lower their gazes while exclaiming inside their heads.

It's surprising for Kyran to have a spirit that can suppress all of them except for a few.

Even Adhara who is on Kyran's back was surprised, 'So this is the spirit that assimilated with Kyran that Rex gave, I believe its name is Shurbaa the Overlayed Ash...'

Since it's been a while since they need to fight someone seriously,

Adhara has never seen Kyran activate his spirit at all, everything has been handled by Rex while she herself has just been training to not fall too far behind Rex's pace.

But when Kyran was about to say something,

ROAR!!!

A powerful and deafening roar can be heard from the back coming from Rex's direction, this shook everyone here as they got pressed to the ground.

The pressure is very powerful that even Kyran and Adhara are not able to withstand it.

"Help the people to evacuate is what Rex said, we will only be a burden if we stayed there to help him", Kyran said while struggling to stand up.

Only by using their element and spirit energy do some of them manage to stand up.

Luisella who felt the powerful pressure looks at her men and finds that only a handful can even stand up properly, she then grits her teeth and said, "Let's go! Search the place and keep the citizen out of this place"

After saying that, they all started to search the entire sector.

With the pressure that is weighing them down, their movements become slow but they still follow Luisella's order and started checking the entire sector.

Back to Rex,

<Soul Snatching Pendant of Zaddras is breaking!>

Just after the notification from the system, Rex suddenly saw Ryze's body slowly levitating with the pendant with visible cracks on it beside him.

Both are still entrapped inside the formation Rex made,

Rex then glances at Gistella who is still trying her best to maintain the energy leaking from Ryze and the pendant, she's giving everything into maintaining the barrier and Rex can see that.

"Keep it for a little bit longer", he said before fixating his eyes on Ryze.

After saying that, Rex summons Devo from his shadow before he said, "We'll need to make a powerful stream of energy right after the pendant broke, and push it directly to Ryze"

"It's one of the heavenly dragons! We don't have enough power", Devo replied.

But Rex didn't reply to Devo as he already bought a spellbook that will help in this situation, 'System, instantly learn Great Combination Spell, Two Weighted Pyramid!'

Just after he thought of that, an immense amount of information enters Rex's brain.

Lightning Element is known for its powerful burst of power and penetration compared to other elements, while Light Element is known for its protection spell and also an overall solid element that doesn't have any fatal weakness.

The new spell he learned is a protection spell that is powerful and useful in this situation.

'Right after the pendant broke, right after the pendant broke...', Rex repeated this sentence repeatedly while fixating his eyes on the pendant beside the levitating Ryze.

After a moment, Rex's eyes flash as he shouted, "Devo! Lift me up!"

Hearing this, Devo instantly channels his spirit energy and lifts Rex and also himself up toward the levitating Ryze and the pendant.

Rex saw the pendant is on the verge of shattering,

Shatter!

In just a couple of seconds, Rex and Devo arrive just beside the pendant, and Ryze before suddenly the pendant shatters sending a wave of powerful energy as the dark light in the shape of a dragon started gaining its physical body.

Zaddrass is making its appearance!

But Rex didn't let Zaddrass gain its physical body completely as he instantly chanted, "Great Combination Spell! Two Weighted Pyramid!!"

"First Step, Sealing Pyramid!!"

ZOOM!!

"RAARGHH!!", Rex gathers immense lunar light mana creating a bluish pyramid that entrapped Zaddrass inside of it, the pyramid slowly takes form but Zaddrass knew what Rex was about to do as it roared once again powerfully.

BOOM!

Rex got pushed by the shockwave but he held on trying to keep his focus on the spell.

After the bluish pyramid is established entrapping Zaddrass inside of it, Rex started to gather his sky-black lightning mana before he chanted once more, "Second Step, Enhancing Pyramid!"

BLITZ!

Just like that, another even bigger pyramid made of black lightning appears.

This pyramid engulfs Zaddrass and also the bluish pyramid, it enhanced the power of the spell greatly but even then the Fire of Chaos started leaking powerfully.

'Damn! It's freaking strong!', Rex thought while gritting his teeth.

Eyeing Devo on the side, Devo then summons thunderstorms before he chants since Rex is not able to do anything but hold the pyramids in place, "Ultimate Spell! Sky Imprisonment!!"

CRACK!!

BOOM!

Four dragon-like lightning strikes descend from the sky and chain each of Zaddrass' limbs adding an extra layer to pin him down.

Zaddrass roared again but now it got held in place,

Even with its horrifying power, Zaddrass was finally able to get trapped inside the pyramid before Devo's body bursts with horrifying power exposing his 15,000 years' worth of spirit energy.

After doing that, Devo who is bursting with black lightning slammed his body into the pyramid.

BAM!

Little by little, the pyramid started moving in Ryze's direction.

Devo is slowly pushing the pyramid with Zaddrass in it towards Ryze just like Rex instructed.

'I need to condense this damn dragon more so Ryze can absorb it', Rex thought before gritting his teeth, he started activating his red force, brace of moonlight skill, and even berserker's curse using everything to condense the pyramid further.

The peak of his power is shown clearly in this scene,

Anyone that saw this will become terrified since his power is not normal for an early seventh-rank Awakened, it's too intense and suffocating for an Awakened of his caliber.

But then again, he already did the unthinkable numerous times.

"GRARGHHH!!"

Rex shouted with every inch his muscles bulging with power, the pyramid with Zaddrass in it started getting smaller and smaller as Rex forced it to condense further.

It comes to the point where the pyramid is only as big as a basketball,

Feeling that his power is slowly leaving him, "PUSH IT DEVO! NOW!!", Rex shouted before Devo puts all of his might to push the pyramid into the formation Ryze is in.

The second the pyramid got inside the formation with Ryze,

BOOM!!

ROAR!!

Zaddrass roared as its entire body slowly got sucked into Ryze's body, even in his unconscious state Ryze shouted in agony since every inch of his body is hurting.

His skin started to tear repeatedly but instantly healed from a glow of the rune Rex engraved.

Every bone in his body started breaking and healing, Zaddrass violent energy is so destructive that only by the runes that Rex engraved can Ryze survive this long, if there are no runes on him then he would've died in a heartbeat.

Rex and Devo breathe heavily while looking at the scene unfold,

A circle of energy started appearing around Ryze's body as Zaddrass got sucked completely, and just after a few seconds,

KABOOM!!

Another explosion occurs but this time Rex and Devo got sent crashing away,

"Arghh!", Even Gistella grunted as she too got flung away, the barrier she's holding finally shatters as the final explosion destroyed everything in the surroundings.

Recovering from the explosion, Rex burst out of the rubble,

But his eyes then went back to where Ryze should be, "Did he survive...?", he mutters lightly.
