Chapter 464 Handy Illusion

Screee!!

Rex and the others jolted their heads to the side hearing a screeching light roar coming out of nowhere, the roar is high pitched and it's very loud like an alarm ringing.

Just a couple of seconds ago, Kyran noticed this creature but he was late to attack it.

The aura coming from this small creature is feeble almost like the aura of a normal ant, even Kyran doesn't sense it first because of its light aura. Upon looking at the small creature that looks to be a humanoid but its size is very small just like an insect, Rex instantly realized the creature is a dark pixie.

Back during his time in the military and even during his last mission of locating the Ghoul's Den, Rex has dealt with Dark Pixies many times. Dark Pixies have a humanoid body with pointy ears, their eyes are completely dark and they have moth wings.

They're not threatening at all, in fact, they're very weak. No fighting power.

Out of all the times Rex dealt with Dark Pixies, the strongest one has peak second-rank power. But the Supernatural used them as an alarm. They scattered the Dark Pixies in their crucial territories. Since Dark Pixies have a very small body and feeble aura it's hard to spot them, they make a perfect warning alarm if an enemy is approaching.

'Fuck! I should've realized it sooner!', Rex cursed himself inside his head.

Out of all the things he did lately, this is the dumbest one by far since he should've realized it sooner even since he saw the darker part of the tree.

As he already dealt with Dark Pixies many times since he's a part of the USR, he's already taught that Dark Pixies although small they can be spotted easily. They have one fatal flaw and that is everything they touch becomes darker in color.

No matter what they touch, everything becomes darker in color.

Imagine seeing a normal tree and seeing one of its branches are way darker color almost black than the other, it's relatively easy to spot something like that. If there's a weird darker part, it's already clear that there's a dark pixy standing on that part.

On top of that, Dark Pixies have worst eye-sight than humans. They can only see 30 to 40 feet in front of them and also have a narrow vision, their eyesight is very bad.

Because of that, for a trained soldier like him spotting Dark Pixies should've been easy.

Rex got careless since it's been a while since he met with Dark Pixies, he's been dealing with humans lately and got rusty. Now, one Dark Pixy notices them first and sends out an alarm.

The dark pixy's scream makes Rex jumps out of the Astral Blanket and land on the side.

"Leave this place, I'll take care of this swiftly", Rex said before his aura started to rile up like a devastating engine, he then glares at the Dark Pixy with a hint of anger. But that anger is more like a disappointment to himself.

In a flash, Rex closed the distance in a fraction of a second before grabbing the dark pixy with his hand. The dark pixy can't do anything at all as Rex squeezed it to death.

<Killed a first rank Supernatural, Obtained 30 Exp>

Rex reads the notification before he clicks his tongue in displeasure, to think that he actually got careless and let a first-rank Supernatural notice him first. What a blunder.

After doing that, a couple of roars can be heard heading toward them.

From roughly calculating how many times Kyran told them to take another route, the roaming Supernaturals around here should be more than a dozen. Coupled with the two powerful Supernatural on the scouting post that is already gone, it's going to be a problem if they alert the others about their presence.

Looking at this, Kyran then landed beside Rex, "I'll help", he said decisively.

Rex nodded his head while looking at Kyran before Adhara said in worry, "Shouldn't we fight together? It's going to be faster that way"

"No, we shouldn't. Both of them can kill them silently, while our fire will just like fireworks and attract more Supernaturals", Evelyn replied from the side. The two of them are Fire Elementalist, and at night they're akin to a torch in the darkness.

Hearing this, Adhara looks at Rex before he gave her a nod.

Although unwillingly, she then turns her head away knowing that it makes sense before she signals to Delta to leave the place. They should get away from here and find a safe place.

"Kyran, take care of the others. I'll deal with these two", Rex instructed.

Rex sounds calm but Kyran can hear a hint of annoyance in his tone, it's because of the Dark Pixy that he didn't manage to notice. Two powerful auras are heading towards them from the front, and with that Kyran turns into the darkness again and disappear.

Since the two powerful Supernaturals have seventh-rank power, Rex will deal with them.

"It's been a while since I turned, let's end this quickly", Rex mutters before his eyes glow red, his body slowly gets bigger as his bones started cracking lightly.

Just a moments ago,

Screee!!

"Hmmm?", A succubus on top of the scouting post glance to the side upon hearing the screech, her expression then turns into a frown when she realized that it's one of the dark pixies.

On her side, there is a shapeshifter that has all of its skin completely white. The shapeshifter has the curves of a woman but she has no face or even any features whatsoever, but she's covered by armor that is the same color as her skin.

The shapeshifter then said with a haunting voice, "Humans..."

After the succubus and the shapeshifter looks at each other, both of them jumped down from the scouting post and headed in the sound direction.

While the succubus uses her demonic wings to head there, the shapeshifter's body slowly becomes invisible as she falls to the ground. Both of them reacted to the screech very fast and their movements are also fast showing their alertness and seventh-rank power.

Not long after, both of them are nearing the place but the aura they felt is weird.

The succubus descends down from the sky landing just beside the invisible shapeshifter that is slowly materializing, "Is it really humans? It doesn't feel like humans"

Hearing this, the shapeshifter shrugs her shoulders before they decided to continue walking.

After cutting down the bushes using her arm that can be turned into a sword, the shapeshifter leads in front as she's stronger than the succubus. Both of them then stopped when they slowly saw a furred figure looking at them with its red eyes.

"Werewolf...?", the Succubus mutters in confusion.

But just as they stepped out of the bushes standing in front of the Werewolf, the shapeshifter's body becomes stiff as she clearly felt that this Werewolf is not normal.

Shapeshifters don't have eyes but it doesn't mean they can't see, the Shapeshifters can perceive their surrounding just as well as eyes but use energy instead. It works like echolocation but she's using her own energy by permeating it to the surrounding.

Using that, the shapeshifter can clearly feel the two horns on the Werewolf's head.

"A Prince?!", the succubus exclaimed in surprise.

Rex is now already in his Werewolf form while looking at the two Supernaturals with his red eyes. There's no expression on his face but his eyes follow both Supernaturals' movements.

He just stood there watching their movement, and his eyes scare the two Supernaturals.

While gazing at the two Supernaturals that are in the seventh rank realm just like him, Rex slowly activates his Mythical aura that makes the Shapeshifter and the Succubus felt suppressed. It's like standing in front of a King, their body trembles on its own.

At this moment, Rex's stats looks like this.

<Rex Silverstar - Werewolf Form>

Pack: Silverstar (4/5)

Level: 48 (2,447,500,000/17,000,000,000)

Race: Royal Black Werewolf

Full-Moon: 9 Days - Wolf Moon

Berserk: 72%

Sanity: 35%

Mental: 407(+357)

Strength: 5232(+1220)

Agility: 4863(+1122)

Endurance: 4527(+1321)

Intelligence: 2843 (+120)

From the addition of the Sovereign of the Night that amplifies his stats by 200%, Rex's stats look ridiculously strong matching that of a mid-seventh rank easily. He might even be comparable to the upper-echelon of the mid-seventh rank realm.

If he were in his human form, he only got a 130% increase which puts him equivalent to early to the general mid-seventh rank but now he's way past that. Rex's Werewolf form is way stronger than his human form.

Aside from that, gaining the Light Element also amplifies his intelligence.

Since Rex has only reached the third rank in his Lunar Light element, the changes are not much but it'll get way higher when he reached the sixth rank and assimilate with a light spirit.

"What is a Prince doing here?", the Shapeshifter mutters in confusion.

Hearing this, the succubus kept her senses wrapped around Rex before she suddenly widen her eyes, "I know you...you're the Prince in the human territory! Red Prince!"

"Oh? You know of me?", Rex mutters curiously.

Although he already knows that all of the Vampire and some of the Demons are aware of his existence, he didn't expect that the Succubus also know of him. He thought that the Vampire and the Demon are hiding that fact.

But it seems he already become famous here, "What are you going to do then?"

"We don't want any fight, you can just pass and go to the Werewolf territory if you want. We will not stop you your highness", the Succubus replied not intending to fight at all. Even the Shapeshifter also doesn't seem to want to fight.

Rex's expression turns fierce the next second as he tilts his head.

His body glows with red steam before he exposes his sharp fangs and said, "Who said that you can tell me what to do?", his eyes flashed with black lightning right after saying that.

BLITZ!

Without giving them any chance to reply, Rex uses his Flash spell to close the distance.

At this point, his speed is ridiculous as not even a spark of black lightning can be seen. Rex is so fast that he appears and reappears as if he shifts through dimension.

The Shapeshifter widens her eyes, she can't react to Rex's movement.

Since the Shapeshifter is the stronger one amongst the two, Rex decided to kill the Shapeshifter first. But when his hand was about to reach her neck intending to kill her instantly, purple energy stopped him in his tracks.

It's not that the purple manages to stop him, but it makes himself stop his body.

"Charm Spell, Soothing Desire..."

Rex looks to the side and saw the Succubus is activating her power, her eyes then suddenly flash with a purple light that catches Rex off guard.

Swish!

But using the bit of his consciousness, Rex tried to forcefully grab the Shapeshifter but missed. All he grabbed is air, the Shapeshifter already created a distance.

This is not as expected, the Succubus surprisingly manages to stop him.

Even though the disparity between their physical stats, the Succubus is way superior in terms of mental power. Because of that, she manages to stop Rex. It's his first time fighting a Succubus, and there must be a reason why they are one of the higher-rank Supernatural.

Just after the succubus stopped Rex, the Shapeshifter makes a move.

The Shapeshifter's hand transforms into a very sharp big blade imbued with Supernatural energy, she then turns invisible and before Rex can react he already got cut right on his right waist.

Slash!

A thin cut appears on Rex's waist but it almost healed instantly,

'I feel dizzy... that thing the Succubus did must be a mental attack', Rex thought with a frown, he looks around and finds that his vision is clouded with purple mist. This blocks him from seeing their attacks, he even feels dizzy for some reason.

For the Succubus race, their mental power is really high.

They are adept at using a wide variety of mental attacks, it has been said that they're a nightmare to fight for someone with a weak will and mental stat. Charm Magic is their expertise just like she did right now.

While looking at the dazed Rex, the Succubus then chanted, "Mind Magic, Deepest Fantasy!"

Swish!

After the Succubus chanted that, she started to emit purple energy that brings a soothing feeling and even a very fragrant scent. Rex instantly smelled this scent because of his enhanced smell, he looks up before his eyes widen.

In front of him stand Gistella, but she's completely naked while slowly approaching him.

The sight mesmerized Rex as he was rooted on his spot.

She looks absolutely tempting with her silvery hair and crystal blue eyes that gaze at him seductively. Rex has seen a glimpse of her beauty but not to this extent, it's hauntingly charming that makes him unable to look away.

On the outside, Rex's eyes turn from animalistic red to purple.

The Succubus scoffed before she looks at the shapeshifter on the side, "I thought it will be a lot harder, but this Werewolf Prince is nothing much..."

"Be careful Elinaya, if he got out of that then we're going to be killed", the Shapeshifter added.

Hearing this, the Succubus called Elinaya chuckles sweetly before approaching the dazed Rex. She stands in front of Rex before she grabs his throat with her purple claws with a smirk.

When she was about to crush Rex's neck, she stopped, "It's a shame that we can't kill him"

"Or else I can toy him to death", she added with a pitiful smile.

The shapeshifter slowly came out of her invisibility before she looks at Elinaya and said, "Let's just go, tell the others to also step back. We will let the Prince of Werewolf pass our post"

But right after she said that,

STAB!

"HAARGH!",

Hearing the squeal makes Elinaya who was about to leave snap twist her neck and look at the Shapeshifter, she widened her eyes in horror seeing that the Shapeshifter got attacked out of nowhere. But the red fierce eyes make her body freeze in fear again.

The Shapeshifter looks down in utter horror seeing a claw penetrate through her stomach, she can see her insides got stabbed out by the claws forcefully before she got lifted off the ground.

Rex kept eye contact with Elinaya while lifting the Shapeshifter off the ground brutally.

His eyes are glowing with an unnatural red light, Elinaya then looks back at the other Rex who is still under her influence with a frown, "H-How comes there are two of you...", she mutters in confusion.

"That's just an illusion, a lunar illusion", Rex cracks a devious grin.

Just as Rex said that the other him that is under the influence of Elinaya slowly turns into blue light particles before turning into nothingness, it's his Lunar Dust Illusion Spell.

This caught Elinaya in surprise as she didn't expect this at all, "A Shanman?!"

After seeing the despair in Elinaya's expression becoming even more evident, Rex's grin becomes widens before he looks at the Shapeshifter that is still under his mercy. She tried to stab Rex by turning her body into spikes to no avail.

Rex's hand is rock steel and nothing that she tried makes him budge.

With a slow movement, he then stabs his other hand into the Shapeshifter's body as she started screaming in pain. Her scream seeped into Elinaya's body realizing that she was nothing, under the Mythical Aura she was nothing but an ant.

Not deserving of power, not deserving to live any longer.

Splash!

Black blood burst into the surroundings as Rex completely ripped the Shapeshifter that is a mid-seventh rank Awakened using his bare hands, the Shapeshifter didn't stand a chance.

<Killed a mid-seventh rank Supernatural, Obtained 412,000,000 Exp>

Under Elinaya's gaze, the Shapeshifter got killed by Rex brutally as she get ripped into two.

"H-How...", Elinaya mutters before fear starts to grip her body.

Although she's already scared from Rex's display of aura and his blazing red eyes before, now Rex's red eyes become even more terrifying which makes her body completely frozen.

Even though she has wings, she can't muster any strength to fly away to escape.

Rex with his bloodied claws then slowly straighten his back before looking at the Shapeshifter's carcass that got split into two, "What did you say earlier? Oh, yes..."

"I believe you said that I'm not much, right?", he added before glancing at Elinaya.

The subtle glance makes Elinaya's entire body shiver in utter terror as Rex makes light work even the Shapeshifter who is more powerful than herself, it slowly comes down to her that she won't be able to escape this place alive.

Raising both of his bloodied claws, Rex then said, "I'd like to see you try doing what you did again to me...the real me"
