Chapter 702 Brand Of Crown

Rex slammed the foreign Awakened's head right into the ground, the raw strength behind that slam was enormous, stronger than the explosion of a couple of nukes. Even from a distance, the onlookers are stricken with terror.

None of them can imagine if they were the one that was struck with such a blow.

Something this destructive will definitely obliterate them to the point of oblivion, not even a glimpse of their remains would've been spared to tell the tale if they are the ones that got slammed into the ground by Rex.

The destruction spread and mother nature wails in agony from that one attack.

Orson, the one that got slammed into the ground feel his brain rattled. A signal of electricity travels throughout his body like lightning, and the impact of that forceful electricity was blood drizzling down his nose

In one exchange, the first streak of blood was drawn and this made Orson angry.

"RAARGHH!!"

BOOM!

Like an erupting volcano, Orson's body started vigorously burning with a devastating flame that raises the temperature of the surrounding place to a burning degree. Following that, his body also exploded trying to break free from this humiliation.

Pushing up and planting one of his feet on the ground, he struggled to get up.

"Hooh..." Rex looks at Orson in amusement.

Despite the disparity between their strength, the amount of arcane mana that Orson emits got amplified more than twofold. Appearing out of thin air, red armor that is redder than the sun covered Orson's body.

It's a heavy red plate and has a darker shade of red trim.

The surface of the heavy red plate is a face of a monstrous spirit, embellished with sharp edges and burning lines that amplify the power behind Orson's fire upon the glisten of the monstrous spirit's face.

Clearly, from the amount increase, Orson also activates his Spirit Gladiator Form.

Rex didn't have the patience to wait for Orson to fully stands up from his pressing hand, he decided to cloak his other hand with red force before drilling Orson's stomach with his fist. In a fraction of a second, he got planted into the Great Barricade's wall, bursting through the entrapment of Brigitta's ultimate spell.

Boom!

Crack!

But right after he did that, a flash of shadow went past him swifter than his reaction.

Glancing over his shoulder he saw Brigitta is already charging arcane mana into her longsword, with one horizontal strong motion she slashed Rex with immense might. A streak red line appeared on Rex's back.

In terms of speed, Brigitta has the upper hand against Rex and he knows it.

"Arcane Magic, Squall Assault!" Brigitta chanted once again and send another slash aiming for Rex's neck. She managed to outspeed Rex's reaction before, but not now when he's already prepared for the attack.

Clang!

Rex raises his katana to block the longsword, and the momentum stopped abruptly.

Like an unmovable mountain, the slash enhance with Arcane Magic, the highest form of magic was not able to move or do anything to Rex. Unfazed, he was standing robustly with eyes staring at Brigitta.

Gritting her teeth, Brigitta reached out her hand and grab Rex's neck swiftly.

Pshh!

A sizzling sound can instantly be heard when she did that, her Spirit Gladiator Form's armor has been incorporated with pure silver, turning it into a focused form to fight off Supernatural. Something she struggled to do but managed to pull off.

Cyclones of wind can be seen rotating her legs before she jumps with a flap of her wings.

Unlike what she had expected, the gush of wind, the propelling force of her wind, and her strength are unable to pull Rex off the ground. In surprise, she looks back at Rex in disbelief, 'He should've been weakened with the silver, how can this be...?' she thought and feel her blood runs cold.

It's unfair that she was outclassed this badly by a rising powerhouse in under a year.

Something that she had worked so hard for and strived with great motivation triumphed over by the seeker of vengeance, the reality of it slapped her hard as everyone thought of her to have immense talent.

But if her talent is immense, then what kind of talent does this monster she's fighting has?

Rex slowly reaches for Brigitta's hand that is holding his neck, a tremble on her arm showed that she was resisting while Rex easily pushes her hand away. Not even the weakening effect of the pure silver can put them on equal grounds.

<The user has been weakened due to contact with Silver!>

Although it was surprising that Brigitta managed to use this kind of attack, it was still not enough.

Incorporating pure silver into her Spriit Gladiator Form is something that can only be thought of by a genius, a truly remarkable breakthrough. Brigitta showed her talent in fighting, it's just too bad that she's fighting the wrong person.

"Why are you doing this, Brigitta? I can tell that you're smart enough to know the gap between us"

From the display of intelligence to keeping on getting stronger in fighting the Supernaturals despite the world giving her no option to get stronger, Rex is quite sure that Brigitta knows that she can't beat him.

Due to that, her decision to resort to fighting is weird for Rex.

Upon hearing this question there's a slight tremble in her eyes which shows that Rex is spot on with his analysis of her, but her eyes then went back to the stubborn look once more, "There's nothing more of a reason that protecting humanity from the Supernaturals such as yourself!"

"It's bad to lie to me, tell me the real reason" Rex squinted his eyes.

Although he doesn't have a gift like Adhara that can see through people's minds through their emotions, he can tell that there's a reason that she refused to tell. It's written clearly inside her eyes, there's no mistaking it.

But as he thought of that, "Orson! Now!!" Brigitta shouted.

Rex snapped out of his mind and glanced to the side, he saw Orson leave a trail of blazing fire that even melted the ground as he heads right to Adhara and Flunra that are unable to go anywhere due to the cyclones trapping them.

"If I can't beat the Alpha, then the Betas are enough to win this battle!" Orson shouted.

While he sprinted quickly through the desolate plain heading to Adhara and Flunra, he dragged the two battle axes onto the ground. Signs of molten lava can be seen bursting out of the ground and instilling more power into the battle axes.

A bizarre occurrence, Orson seems to have fire and lava elements mixed together.

Dragging the battle axes across the ground before raising them above his head, lava follows the trajectory of the battle axes alongside the arcane mana that concentrate on the bit of the axes. "Spirit Amalgamation!" he shouted as the fire and lava mana mixed together.

Cracking a devious grin, Orson descend from the sky fiercely, "Arcane Magic, World Despoiler!"

Swoosh!

Everything started to shake and rumble as Orson descend from the sky with his burning body that is bright like the noon sun in the sky, the entire night was lit up completely, dispersing the refreshing darkness of the night.

Upon reaching above Adhara and Flunra, Orson swings his battle axes like a lunatic.

Like a berserker that is amplified by a hundred due to the power and strength a ninth-rank realm Awakened possess, the battle axes would definitely obliterate everything that stands in their paths. Even Brigitta was surprised that they managed to outplay Rex.

But instead of helping, Rex only smiled lightly when he saw this.

Immediately Brigitta snapped her head back towards Adhara and Flunra, she saw a weird mark appearing on Adhara's forehead which also show signs of her power increasing to the point of absolute surprise.

'She's a ninth-rank realm too?!!' Brigitta exclaimed inside her head when she saw this.

Most Supernaturals know of the first ascension and also its ability to assume other trusted Werewolves with the Herald Mark and makes them stronger, but this concept is foreign to Brigitta and that makes it way more surprising for her.

From her perspective, Adhara has also stepped into the realm of kings and obtained a King Mark for herself. It was a destructive and horrifying scene for her, and she understands it clearly.

Swoosh!

KABOOM!!

A huge blast that exploded into the surroundings was produced as the battle axes hit the target, the power behind that attack was destructive which even caught Rex by surprise. Although Orson can't overpower Rex, his attacks were really powerful and destructive.

Following the blast, the ground splits into three sections and the straight crack spreads for miles.

Due to the Great Barricade's barrier being destroyed from a glimpse of Rex's aura earlier, there's nothing protecting the Great Barricade and also the stronghold where the other Awakened and military man resides.

Many of them died from receiving the backlash of the explosion.

A fight between ninth-rank realm entities doesn't allow weaklings to spectate, there's the bare minimum requirement to watch this high-end fight that can quench cities in one swoop of a clash between their attacks.

But the Awakened and military men that are present at this moment learned it the hard way.

Not one of them were spared as they were to close to the fight, their bodies were turned to ash while the stronger ones slowly succumbs to the suppressing energy from that explosion filled with arcane mana.

Swoosh!

The billowing of smoke and debris which are the result of the explosion lingers like a cloud for a minute or so. Brigitta looks at the center of the explosion, searching for Orson that managed to land a massive attack on Adhara and Flunra.

Rex is still holding her, not intending to let go as the two of them watch the scene unravel.

Not long after, a glimpse of the three figures emerged and this made Brigitta straightens her back to inspect what happened. Soon enough Orson can be seen clearly with two battle axes in front of him, but weirdly enough the battle axes were stopped a couple of inches away from Adhara's face.

There's supposed to be a protective force, but Brigitta is confused as it was not Adhara's doings.

At first, she thought that Adhara would block the battle axes with her ninth-rank realm power, she's not as strong as Orson but she can probably survive that attack. But to her surprise, she didn't even move from her spot.

Only a nonchalant gaze can be seen in her eyes, looking at the two blazing battle axes.

"What?!" Orson shouted in shock.

But then his eyes widened when he felt a warm sensation on his face, he looked down and find something glowing on his cheek. A weird mark can be seen glowing before slowly turning invisible once again.

Brigitta was confused, she then somersaulted backward and kicks Rex in the face to break free.

Managing to break free from Rex's clutches, she glared at Rex who is looking at her calmly, "What did you do...?" she asked whisperingly, she knows that this must have something to do with Rex. It was definitely not Adhara's doings.

Upon hearing this, Rex smiled mockingly and pointed at her wrist.

Stealing a glance at her wrist, she was also surprised to see the same mark that can be seen on Orson's face. It was a crown-shaped mark, golden in color, and emits not a glimpse of energy or aura as it turns invisible.

<Determining the Realm of Kings has finished!>

<Realm of Kings: Ninth-rank realm>

<King of Kings skill is fully activated, and the Brand of Crown has now taken effect!>

"You seriously don't think that I'm going to bring my pack members here without any precautions? I expected more from you, Brigitta." Rex mutters with his head tilted a little, he then glances at Brigitta and the Brand of Crown on her wrist, "In this battle, your opponent is only me and me alone. You can't hurt anyone else except me..."
