Chapter 601 I’m Still Standing

Everything turns cold.

Sunlight that keeps living beings rejuvenated and prosperous has never failed to share its warmth, but a sudden chilling sensation covers the entire place, even the almighty sunlight was blocked completely because of that.

Breezes of cold wind and also the chilling atmosphere breezes the skin and shivers the soul.

Although he has fought numerous Supernaturals with names alone could terrify many people, he has never seen something like this. For a long time, he has not been surprised by anything, but right now he was absolutely surprised.

Despite exerting his full strength, his Elemental Dominion was engulfed by the blackness.

Every time he tries to push the Elemental Dominion out and imbued more of his natural mana into the surrounding place which would make him stronger, Sebrof finds that he's unable to do that with the black dome suppressing his Elemental Dominion.

'What kind of power is this...? It doesn't matter, whatever it is I can't afford to lose'

With the glint of determination inside his bulging eyes, Sebrof activate the effect of the cloak he was wearing to the utmost limit. It made the red lightning field stronger and pushed the black dome, but he was still outclassed by the black dome.

Upon the appearance of the red and black fields, the others are forced to retreat.

Most of them are not even in the eighth-rank realm which is the minimum requirement of power to sustain the rampaging energy from an Elemental Dominion, they feel weak under the black and red fields which is why they were told to get away as far as possible

Out of the people surrounding the place, only the leaders stayed behind.

2 Black Hands and 3 Awakened watch this clash of power from a safe distance between Rex and Sebrof, both of them are putting everything they got to take down the opposing sides. Even then, the clash of energies suppressed their bodies heavily.

Sebrof's Elemental Dominion was like a chaotic force threatening to attack everything.

Rex's black dome on the other hand was akin to swallowing darkness, chillingly calm and steady.

Kaboom!!

Both powers struggle against each other trying to gain the upper hand, the two powers are fighting over space to conquer but it's clear that the black field is stronger. Aside from the two powers, there are obvious changes in their bodies.

With the moonlight energy brought by the black dome, Rex now has access to his other skill.

Since the Pure Brace of Moonlight, one of his passive skills can only be used during the night, he wasn't able to use it before with the sun in the sky. Now that the black dome has basically turned the day into night, he has access to that skill.

Upon seeing the heightening power, Sebrof sweats a little out of concern.

Although he knows and hard to admit that Rex is now stronger than him, Sebrof was not going to sit idle and would definitely give his all in this fight. Instead of holding one red lightning saber like before, he conjures two of them.

Holding the blitzing and sparking red lightning sabers, Sebrof's entire being changed.

Every inch of his body now was imbued and sparked with red lightning, he's even started floating from the energy he amassed, and also the space inside his Elemental Dominion is already started raining red lightning strikes.

Giving an evil grin to Sebrof, Rex bares his black-steel claws and cloaked them with dark energy.

<Full Moon Night Dome has been activated!>

<The user has gained a medium stats increase and also additional attack enhancement and warping skill within the Full Moon Night Dome field>

Rex and Sebrof went into their battle stance once again before both of them roared with all of their might, their eyes are fixated on each other, ignoring everything around them that suffered from the destruction they caused.

Like two warmongers, they dashed toward each other and clash their weapons.

CLANG!

BOOM!

A huge shockwave exploded to the surrounding, shaped like red and black lightning with a shadowy form. It was the rampage of their mixed energy, and the effect was devastating to the surrounding.

Some of the buildings around that are still standing got instantly stumbled over.

Nothing was left due to their clash, and both of them paused for a moment with their weapons stacked against each other while making eye contact. It was an intense couple of seconds before they resumed their fights.

Rex and Sebrof trade blows after blows, showing their expertise with their own weapons.

Even though he was a master in close-quarter combat due to the training he received back during the military and fighting the Supernaturals, he finds that going through Sebrof's stand is quite a challenge as he too was a master of using sabers.

'New novel chapters are published on Novel-Bin',

Both of their movements were so fast that ripples in the void around them started appearing.

Only eighth-rank realm entities can see even a glimpse of their movements, their weapons are moving at blazing fast speed that makes others that have lower power see nothing but blurs. It was the fiercest fight of the century!

Despite exerting everything that he had, Sebrof finds that he was still on the back foot.

BAM!

With one slash from the enhanced Ameurus Katana, Sebrof got sent crashing to the ground and bounced back up. Not idling for too long, he immediately got up while the momentum still pushes him backward.

Rex's purple eyes appeared in front of him as the Amuerus Katana descend powerfully.

Under an extreme speed that surpassed the limit of humans and even Supernaturals, the others join in intending to help Sebrof take down Rex. It was clear that they need to step forward lest they wanted Sebrof to lose the fight.

Snapping out of their dazes, Lady Lauren created many grey strings and linked them to Vargas.

"Ultimate Mental Spell, Strings of Boosting Awakened!"

It was the signature spell of the Hester Family that can exert the body and mana to the utmost limit, Edward has the chance to feel the spell earlier and the effect is surely visible. But now these enhancing grey strings are attached to an eighth-rank Awakened.

Not stopping at Vargas, but the others were also linked to Lady Giana's grey strings.

Just after they were attached to the grey strings across their bodies, the four other people present feel their bodies become even stronger. It's like they were using performance enhancement, but this is a performance enhancement for inhumanly strong figures like them.

With the circumstances, Lady Lauren's spell is very needed in this kind of situation.

An Awakened coupled with the Black Messenger appears on both of Rex's sides with their weapons ready in hand, their eyes glisten fiercely before they swung their weapons at Rex's hind legs intending to severely lessen his ability to fight.

But exerting the bloodline of a Werewolf, Rex's reaction speed was unnaturally fast.

Jumping in the nick of time to dodge both weapons swinging at his hind legs, Rex slaps the Black Messenger with his left hand. It was supposed to connect but the Black Messenger's body suddenly vanished into the ground, merging with the darkness.

Rex ignored him and swung his Amuerus Katana to the Awakened on his other side.

Upon seeing the swiftly approaching katana that has eight glowing runes activated on the blade, the Awakened raised her sword to block but that proves to be a very bad idea. Rex's power is too much as the Awakened's sword shatters upon contact.

Slash!

Just from that slash, the Awakened's arm was tossed away with blood decorating the cold air.

"Arggh!"

With the arm got slashed off by Rex that doesn't have much mercy inside his heart right now, he follows the slash with a nasty swipe from his claws that sent the Awakened crashing away before stopping a couple of miles away.

Feeling the powerful hit, Lady Lauren vomited blood as she was linked to the Awakened.

No eighth-rank Awakened can sustain a full brunt attack from the ninth-rank realm entities, the difference in power is like heaven and earth. Knowing that there's a high chance that the Awakened is dead from that slap.

Especially, if she crashes into many things along the way before finally stopping.

Appearing from behind from the shadows, the Black Messenger intends to sneak an attack but got grabbed by the throat by Rex. Looking at the fearsome expression coupled with his Werewolf form, the Black Messenger emits a bleak aura showing his fear.

It made the corner of Rex's mouth quirk up into a grin realizing that the Black Messenger is afraid.

But out of nowhere, Sebrof exerts his mana control again and managed to get to Rex's back in the blink of an eye. Charging the sabers he was holding with as much arcane mana, he swings it right at Rex, leaving a trail of red lightning sparks.

Predicting his movement, Vargas already created two red barriers to restrain Rex on his ankle.

Since his ankle was trapped by the two red barriers, he was not able to go anywhere as he was forced to receive the full brunt of the sabers. It was a powerful strike backed by an immense amount of power.

Bam!

Without even reaching Rex's skin, the red lightning sabers were halted by the Force Barrier.

Rex cracks a grin finding that the two sabers are unable to pierce the Red Force Barrier, but his eyes dilated and his waist stings with pain when Sebrof suddenly chanted, "Pneuma Spell, Scarlet Kingsky Slash!"

Slash!

Two big gashes appeared on Rex's waist as the sabers break the force barrier and slashed him.

'.',

Roar!!

Upon being slashed on the waist and even making some of his blood leaks out, Rex becomes even angrier as he slashed down the Ameurus Katana straight onto Sebrof that tries to block it by raising both of his sabers.

Clang!

Sebrof clenched his jaw finding that the slash was heavy, and the ground beneath him explodes.

While staying in the struggling position with Sebrof struggling under him, Rex's eyes flash evilly as he said with a mocking grin, "Didn't you say you would end this fight, Sebrof? Why am I still standing now with nothing but small cuts?"

Boom!

A huge shockwave was created once again as Sebrof falls to one knee under Rex's might.

Rex's eyes then traveled to the surroundings for a bit before he said, "Look around, look at the destruction that happened to your beloved Ratmawati City. Everything you try to protect has turned like this, and that is your fault! Humanity will lose and all the blame would fall on your shoulders!"

Laughing like a maniac, Rex pummeled Sebrof's mind with realization.

Even Sebrof's Elemental Domain was slowly getting suppressed by Rex's black dome of the night.

Out of nowhere, the Amuerus Katana burns with dark moonlight energy. The Executor Slash now can imbue even his sword, the limitation to the claws has been erased and now he can use it to strengthen any attacks.

Grinning madly, Rex sent a front kick straight to Sebrof's chest before he jumps up to the sky.

Sebrof was sent rolling for miles across the destroyed grounds, he was greeted by the dark figure descending from the sky just after he recovered from the attack. With widened eyes, he doesn't have the chance to react.

Slash!!

In a blink of an eye, Rex passes through Sebrof with his Amuerus Katana still clean and shiny.

But just a couple of seconds after that, the skin across Sebrof's chest suddenly exploded with blood gushing out. It was a devastating attack that managed to severely injure him, and he was starting to run out of options.

'I can't win against him, all that is left is to burn my permanent arcane mana...', Sebrof thought.

Having his back against the wall, Sebrof was put into a huge dilemma.

Although he can probably fight Rex and retain back the hope of winning by burning his permanent arcane mana, the aftermath would be dreadful and he might not even be able to stay in the ninth-rank realm and regress to the eighth-rank realm.

But in a brief second, he steeled his will, 'It's better than to die right now, I'm going to stop him!'

Ignoring the throbbing wound on his chest, Sebrof turns around to look at Rex that is still brimming with anger. Aside from his King Mark, the anger also made him increasingly stronger due to him being a Werewolf.

An additional reason why Sebrof is beaten this badly.

Just when Sebrof was about to do an all-out clash against the two-legged monster in front of him, a sparkle of a star can be seen in the sky before a figure descends from the sky and heads straight toward Rex.

Rex sensed the incoming figure but he was too late to react this time.

A solid kick landed right on the side of his face before sending him scurrying away like a rag doll.

Bam!

Already clad in her Gladiator Form that turns her into a literal goddess in an astral blue outfit, Lady Giana comes to the rescue in the nick of time before Sebrof circulates his permanent mana. It would be very bad for humanity if he did that.

Around her is a blue field, her Elemental Dominion that helped to fight Rex's black dome.

Thanks to the Elemental Dominion that Lady Giana casted, Sebrof's Elemental Dominion regain some power again since the attention of Rex's black dome has been split into two making both of their energies stood the same ground as Rex's black dome.

Standing up from being kicked in the face, Rex's eyes turn deadly as he looks at Lady Giana.

"Rex! Stop this! If you don't then the Supernatural would sense this fight and they will know that there is chaos inside Ratmawati City! It will spark a sudden attack from them!", Lady Giana shouted desperately.

But instead of responding to that, Rex has other things in mind.

"Giana... I'm going to kill everyone that has some association with my parent's death. But weird, I can smell your fear clearly, almost as if you're guilty of something", Rex said before his expression turns absolutely hideous.

Tilting his head a little, he then added, "Tell me, do you have any part in this...?"

Even though she already steeled herself, hearing this made her gulp harshly.
