Chapter 666 Ascension Trial: Very Hard To Kill

"Struggle..."

"Keep struggling anyway you want, it's all futile..."

Rex is currently defending himself against the two identical figures who have the same thoughts as him, there was nothing he could do as he started to wear down by the relentless attacks aimed at him while the Kaiser is sitting arrogantly on his throne.

Each of their movements is like a blitz, they are all over the place creating powerful ripples.

Unlike the world outside that can only contain the power of ninth-rank realm entities, the Blood Moon realm governed by the Kaiser can handle their rampaging energies very well. Not even Rex's full-power strike can make the ground tremble.

It feels like he was back in his time when he hasn't turned into a Werewolf.

Back then his punches no matter how much he tried can't actually blow through a concrete wall, and that is exactly what was happening right now. Only their movements are fast, and the impact of their clashes is also as powerful but not as destructive anymore.

"Rrrghh!", Rex gritted his teeth as he got pushed back from blocking two of their punches.

Anger started to wobble inside of him, there was not even one moment where he can land a solid hit to one of the two figures. Each of them is exactly as strong as him, in strength, speed, endurance, battle instinct, and even thoughts.

Rex is fighting two of his own mirror and it's way harder than he initially thought.

While he was glaring at the two figures with gashes and scratches all over his body, especially his legs and arms, he started panting heavily as the fight has already gone on for hours with him always at the losing end every time they clashes.

'Something is wrong...', Rex thought as he held his chest that is heaving up and down.

Despite the fight having already gone on for hours already with him suffering injury after injury, he shouldn't be out of breath like this. Not only is he at the pinnacle of worldly power, but he also has the Red Frenzy passive skill that will not tire him as long as there's blood.

It surprises him to find that he's out of breath, he's panting heavily.

Upon seeing Rex standing with a tired expression on his face, the two figures went back into their battle stance similar to an animal. Not a trace of fatigue or exhaustion can be seen on their faces, they are still at 100% power.

"You seem to forget, Rex Silverstar... You're in my realm" Kaiser said with a smug look on his face.

Rex clenched his jaw as he realized that this realm belong to the Kaiser. Despite the ground being thin blood, it can't be used by him by the authority of the Kaiser. If they were fighting outside then Rex would've been fine, but this is not the outside world.

A bead of cold sweat runs down the side of Rex's face as he looks at the two figures warily.

'Think! Think! How can I beat myself?!', Rex exclaimed inside his head.

But before he can even ponder for a moment without any distraction, the two figures are already lunging at him with their black steel claws outstretched forward with the threat of mutilating him into little pieces of flesh.

Out of everything in his arsenal, he had already tried to use them all against the two figures.

Now he is convinced that these two figures are exactly like him, they can use red force, skills that he got from the system, and also his Awakened power. What was left was the Unholy Claws of the Reaper, his strongest attack containing Origin Energy.

Dashing straight at the two figures, Rex swipe forward with his claws cloaked with red energy.

Although he was expecting that at least this one would work, hoping that the two figures can't copy Origin Energy, he had made a really bad decision in using this skill. Like two shadows, the two figures blitz past Rex's body before stopping behind him.

The three of them stayed on their spots with their backs against each other for a moment.

Soon a painful roar escapes Rex's mouth as his claws were shattered completely, the two figures are able to use Origin Energy too, and manage to shatter Rex's claws. It was very painful that almost shove Rex to his knees.

While trying to keep his stand, Rex looks at his broken claws in absolute shock.

Now he knows how unfair this Blood Realm was for the Werewolves that wanted to reach the first ascension, he now understands why nobody can finish level five first ascension trial. Everything is completely unfair and hazardous inside this realm.

Even though Rex is clearly down, the two figures didn't stop there and dash back to him.

Swoosh!

Like an encirclement of shadowy blades around him, the two figures surround Rex while moving swiftly before they launch attack after attack, breaking Rex's desperate defense even more as wounds can be seen popping around Rex's body.

Blood splattered to the surroundings before being sucked by the thin blood of the ground.

It was a one-sided fight, Rex can't do anything against the two figures.

After the barrage of attacks ended which left the two figures' claws covered in blood, Rex finally falls to his knees with gruesome wounds around his body. Each of them was regenerating, but it was already slow due to the number of injuries he received in this fight.

Upon seeing Rex falling to his knees, Kaiser rejoices and stands up from his throne.

Spreading his majestic God-king aura and also his arms to the side, Kaiser looks down on Rex arrogantly, "Now you understand, your desperate attempt is destined to fail. It's all futile, you will definitely die here without exception..."

Kaiser paused for a moment, wanting to see if there was any sign of defiance from Rex.

But even after waiting for a couple of seconds, he finds Rex is only kneeling there with the two figures jumped and landed in front of him, the water in front of him splashes as the two figures also look down on him.

Rex knows that he has absolutely no chance against the two figures.

Even with his claws intact, he was no match for the two figures. Now that all of his claws are shattered, the main weapon of any Werewolf in existence shattered, he's completely fragile and defenseless.

While looking down to the ground, he is already on the brink of asking the system for help.

Although he really needs more power so that he could defend himself and others from the future conflict that was bound to happen, it was still not more important than his own life. If he dies here then he will die for sure.

Knowing that he finally comes to the decision, there was no other choice.

'System... help me' Rex utters his head reluctantly.

Immediately after he said that a notification appeared in front of him which sealed the deal.

<Searching guaranteed possible solution to the user's current predicament...>

'Well, I can still tackle this first trial in the future. Now that I know the Kaiser wants me dead, then I'm going to prepare myself so that the next time I'm here I'll shove his arrogance right onto his face' Rex thought while clicking his tongue.

But then Rex's eyes widened when he saw rows of characters appear in his vision.

<Searching complete!>

<No guaranteed solution can be found!>

'What?!' Rex's eyes bulged in absolute shock when he saw the two notifications from the system.

Since the system has never failed in helping him to tackle any situation that got in his way, he puts some trust in the system that in the worst-case scenario, he would still be able to get out of this with the system's help.

Now that he saw these notifications, his blood instantly run cold.

It feels like he has a minor heart attack when he saw the two notifications pop in front of him, the sense of crisis instantly resurfaced inside of him again which completely burns his brain and jolted his mind awake.

Rex frowned before he exclaimed, 'Didn't you say that you can give me pointers earlier?!'

But despite his question, the system didn't answer.

'Is it because the pointers are only available when I enter this place? Now that I'm in this dire position, there is nothing the system can do to guarantee my survival?!', Rex frown trying to make sense of what was happening to him.

Just as he thought of that, he slowly raises his gaze to meet with Kaiser and the two figures.

Everything seemed to slow down as his mind worked incredibly fast to try and search for a possible solution to survive, it's what he wants but he can't find anything. Rex's mind is completely blank, overwhelmed by the shock.

Out of nowhere, a voice seeped into his ears which makes clear clouds in his mind.

'Please come back, Rex...'

Upon hearing the familiar voices ringing inside his ears, Rex immediately regains back his composure realizing that the others are waiting for him. Dying here is not an option, 'I've survived worst situations, I just need to take some risk'

"What's this... do I smell fear from you?" Kaiser suddenly asks, sensing a familiar vibe from Rex.

For a brief second there Kaiser can clearly feel the fear oozing out of Rex's body due to the helpless situation he's in, it made the smile on his face even wider. Breaking someone like Rex, it's a delicacy for an entity like Kaiser.

Smiling triumphantly, Kaiser wanted to continue but stopped when he saw Rex raising his arms.

Rex slowly raises his fearful gaze as if his eyes are asking for mercy, even his raised arms that exposed his broken claws show that he doesn't have any intention to fight. From one look, Kaiser knows that he's surrendering to his fate.

It was obvious, there was nothing else he could do in this situation.

No outside help since the Blood Moon realm is completely under the power of Kaiser, weakened and riddled with wounds body, and also the two figures standing in front of Rex with still 100% power. It's practically impossible for him to get out of this situation.

"I lost... just do it, but please make it painless" Rex suddenly mutters in defeat.

Upon hearing this Kaiser can't help but laugh out loud savoring the taste of victory, he would be praised by the other Lunirich for taking out a dangerous sinner like Rex. "Oh, I thought you have more backbone than this. But I understand it, you're facing me after all"

"Knowing the end is the same, you shouldn't have resigned to your fate from the start!"

Waving his hand majestically, signaling to the two figures to end Rex's life. One of the figures stepped forward with its claws burning with Origin energy, a direct slash to the neck from that claw would decapitate Rex easily.

Lowering his head down once more, Rex provides a clear pathway for the figure to decapitate him.

Kaiser watches this in delight as he sat back down again, he trains his eyes to the side. Now that Rex has given up, there's no need for his attention anymore. 'Now... we need to check whether the Countess has admitted to her sin. If not then we need to shackle her once more.'

Just as he thought of that, the sound of the air being sliced can be heard.

It's clear that the figure is slashing its claws to end Rex's life right now, but then a grunt can be heard which attracts Kaiser's attention back to the front again. Soon enough, Kaiser frowned when he saw the scene in front of him.

Standing in front of Rex is the figure, but there's a black katana stabbing through its chest.

"Presumptuous ant!!" Kaiser shouted in anger.

Rex cracks a devilish grin as he stabs the figure that was about to decapitate him with the upgraded Amuerus Katana, his red sharp eyes glance at the angry Kaiser briefly before a mocking smile appeared on his face.

With a swift movement, he kicks the figure sending him crashing near the throne.

Boom!

Looking at the figure that crashed near him, Kaiser finds that it was hurt from that stab severely. 'Impossible, how did he have that weapon?! This is my realm!!' Kaiser exclaimed inside his head as he glared back at Rex.

Clang!

Out of nowhere, Rex takes out a silver sword from thin air.

Rex raised both of the weapons in his hands before he created a clanging sound by hitting them above his head into an X-shape, he then held and puts both of the swords down with his eyes burning with battle intent.

Upon seeing Kaiser's angry expression, he replies with a mocking smile.

"Many know this but from the looks of it, you might not know. So I'll give you the courtesy of telling you about this myself" Rex mutters as his mocking smile grows wider, he stares straight at Kaiser bravely, "I'm someone who is very hard to kill..."
