Chapter 963 For the Future

An indecisive teen, especially since he chose Edward and now reconciled with Rex again.

But as it turns out, he was not easily swayed.

Even the way he spoke earlier showed a cerebral hint, a trait a teen like him shouldn\'t have.

Not wanting to continue the manipulative conversation further, Ryze went down from the moving reinforced tank and went to another on the left. He knew that the more he talked with Brigitta, the more she would try to influence him, and he didn\'t want that.

\'I should\'ve known that Rex already prepared him when he\'s bringing that kid here...\'

Despite her attempt, Brigitta failed miserably.

She should\'ve known that if Rex had brought Ryze here, he must be exceedingly confident and well-prepared. Now, she was worried that Ryze would tell her attempt to Rex, a highly likely scenario, that she hadn\'t thought through earlier.

Then again, she didn\'t think that she would fail, so that\'s her fault entirely.

\'No, I\'ll be fine. The Executor is not going to let Rex do anything to me\' Brigitta pondered.

However, she now looked at Ryze in a new light, poising him as also a threat.

Glancing over her shoulder and casting a contemplative gaze back toward the camp\'s direction, a deep furrow creased her brow, and a puzzling thought lingered in her mind. \'The Executor... What is his true plan? Rex is here, we\'re on our own turf with the advantage. It would be unrealistic to not eliminate him now, or at least try. So why hasn\'t he done that already? Why is he treating Rex as an honored guest?\'

Initially, she thought that the Executor was setting up a trap for Rex and taking him out.

But it doesn\'t appear to be like that.

If she was the Executor, then she would\'ve taken him out right now and saved the trouble.

Upon pondering about the situation, Brigitta could only sigh lightly, she wasn\'t the one in charge so there was nothing she could do about this. \'I really can\'t see through him. But I really hope what you\'re doing is the right thing, Executor\'

Meanwhile, back to the desert region.

<Level up!>

Despite having consistent trouble trying to level up, he at last managed to increase his level.

Rex was still battling against the juiced-up Vampires.

On the periphery of his vision, he could see Edward and Mavenna fighting their own battles.

Inexplicably, even while affected by the Ichor Blindness, Edward displayed an uncanny ability to react and evade the Vampires\' assaults as if he could see albeit reacting slower compared to the normal. But it was evident that he was also suffering from the Ichor Blindness, judging from his crimson-invaded eyes.

Additionally, his unique armor instinctively shielded him from most attacks.

He was doing great despite the circumstances.

Edward mostly helped the right flank of the army from the Vampires and the changing terrain, as it was the army that suffered the most, shooting blindly with the hope of being able to hit something.

On the other hand, Mavenna was surprisingly doing very well on her own.

Rex was utterly surprised as he cast a glance at her.

Around her was a thick pinkish demonic energy that summoned a thin, pink thorn to whoever tried to lay a hand on her, turning her into an actual rose. Those who were stabbed by the thorns weren\'t hurt but experienced a drastic change in under ten seconds.

.cοm Contrary to pressing their assault on Mavenna harder, these Vampires stopped abruptly.

In ten seconds, they turned and attacked their own comrades.

Mavenna could alter their minds and turn them against each other without much difficulty.

Seems like I was too lenient, I need to be careful around her.

Finding that Mavenna was even more capable than he initially thought, he decided to keep his guard when around her. She was appointed as his personal assistant here, and he\'s now sure that it was because of a reason.

Seeing that Kurt was right before him, Rex didn\'t evade.

Instead of evading, he pushed his forehead towards Kurt\'s fist and cut the punch short.

Bam!

Despite his inability to see, he relied on his understanding of the patterns and movements he had observed during their fight. As a result, he predicted Kurt\'s punch and made the punch lack the momentum and power it could have generated under normal circumstances.

Compared to causing harm to Rex, it harmed Kurt\'s fist more.

Like a blur, three Vampire captains surrounded him and circulated their blood energies.

Much like the Werewolves from the current era, the ancient Vampires relied more on their imposing physical attributes, boasting large, muscular bodies reminiscent of bats. Rather than relying on weapons, they shrouded their formidable thirty-centimeter claws in blood energy, enhancing their already overpowering force.

Swish!

BAM!

In quick succession, the three Vampire captains\' swipe hit their targets.

Each swipe lands on Rex\'s face, guts, and back respectively, blasting a strong shockwave.

However, their vampiric eyes widened when Rex didn\'t budge from his spot.

Knowing that they were confronting one of the strongest entities in the new era, the three Vampire captains intensified their attacks, pushing their muscles and energies to their absolute limits. Also, they made efforts to infiltrate and manipulate the very blood flowing within Rex\'s veins.

Earlier, despite hardly doing damage, the Vampire captains still caused some damage.

The three of them could at least assist Kurt in his fight.

However, now, no matter how much they tried, Rex\'s expression is still composed.

Nothing they do works on him anymore.

It was only then that they realized that Rex had somehow gotten strong.

Compared to earlier, the gap between them was too far for them to cause any damage.

<Notice! The user\'s stats have been boosted in response to the approaching Hare Moon!>

Rex smiled, realizing his physical stats had reached a level where the Vampire captains couldn\'t harm him. Now, their attacks were inconsequential. Seizing the opportunity, he swiftly made his move, his claws flashing in a fraction of a second.

Following that, the Vampire captains\' heads were decapitated, killing them instantly.

"I suggest you retreat, this is not a fight you want" Rex suggested.

Despite the absence of consequences for killing these Vampires, some of them were not real, blood homunculi, and with Elder Nolacula seemingly in agreement, Kurt and the other Vampire captains were real and he didn\'t want to kill them all.

It gives him little to no benefit, so he gives them a chance.

But from the looks of it, Kurt has taken his suggestion as nothing more than an insult.

"I am Kurt Marcelli, the unyielding general of the Sanguis Legion, a force that has never tarnished the reputation of our predecessors and the Origin," Kurt declared, his vicious blood energy blazing. "No matter the cost, even if it means expending every drop of my energy and enduring death multiple times, I will ensure the future of our king by killing you here!"

Kaboom!!

Rex was pushed back as a powerful shockwave exploded from Kurt\'s body.

He executed a nimble somersault, skillfully riding the shockwave before swiftly regaining his footing. His gaze locked onto Kurt, who appeared to be preparing for his final, decisive strike, putting everything on the line to end this fight once and for all.

Almost instantly, his gleaming red eyes become even darker.

Sinister blood energy flowed inside his body rapidly, circulating to the breaking point.

Furthermore, the spectacle of his unwavering resolve captured the focus of the five Enchanters who were still upholding the Troubadour of Blood War spell. On instinct, they channeled their last reserves of energy into Kurt, amplifying his already formidable power to a completely new height

A sudden change happened as the five Enchanters gave their powers to Kurt.

His energy experienced a massive change to be exact.

Compared to his earlier display, when his blood energy had flared around his body like a blazing fire, it now surged with even greater intensity, reaching a density that extended his formidable aura to envelop a vast ten-meter radius around him.

It was a manifestation of power from the ancient time.

Vicious cracks started to appear across his body, and blood seeped out unnaturally.

Rex who has regained a bit of his vision, witnessed Kurt\'s body being drenched by his own blood, turning his pale, armored skin into crimson-colored. His body also grew even larger, the ground around him began to crack, and when it reached its peak, he screeched powerfully.

Following that, the strings of blood energy that the five Enchanters shot at him changed.

Under Rex\'s gaze, it trans-morphed into a circle-shaped formation.

System, what is that?

<Akin to the Hellgate Ruination ultimate ability of the Demons, the Vampire also has their own. Instead of an ultimate ability, the Vampire harnessed a devious enhancement spell called Ruinous Formation that would amplify even their regular spells into devastating spells>

Reading the notification, Rex nodded and quickly smiled.

In respect to Kurt who was fighting for his people\'s future, Rex turned into his Werewolf form.

Suggesting for Kurt to stand down and walk away as he initially planned would be an insult, thus he decided to bear the attack with his Werewolf form, and honor Kurt\'s determination by killing him in this battle.

Doing anything other than that would only be a disrespect for Kurt.

Crack!

Rex\'s body started to make bone-cracking sounds before he fully transformed.

His Werewolf form was now unveiled, presented bare for the Vampires to witness, and with a swift leap, he repositioned himself to a strategic vantage point. He readied himself to bear the brunt of Kurt\'s impending attack whilst a sly grin formed on his face.

Obviously, his mind concocted a plan to make use of this situation.

It should be a ranged attack, this will do.

Clap!

Out of sheer excitement for the result, Rex slammed his hands together in anticipation.

Following that, he activated his Berserk Curse skill, forming a red crescent moon symbol on his forehead, and also the Extreme State skill. His power rose to a terrifying degree, being able to bear Kurt\'s rushing energy way better now.

Kurt gritted his teeth and forced himself to channel his overwhelming energy.

"Graaarggh!" He screamed as the overwhelming energy was simply too hard to control.

However, through grit and determination, he managed to light up the formation behind him and stretched both of his hands forward. Due to the sheer volume of the blood energy he amassed, the channeling as it coursed from his heart into his arms could be seen visible from the outside of his skin.

It was only then that his eyes flared open, "Ruinous Blood Spell, Total Annihilation!!"

SWOOSH!

Kaboom!

Almost in an instant, a blood-red bolt was released from Kurt\'s outstretched hands.

Moving at a speed that broke the sound barrier and beyond, the bolt sucked all the life force of anything that nears its path, even hurting the Vampires around and killing lost humans that were still continuing the battle.

Even Rex could feel the power of the bolt that tears anything that got in its way.

Just as the bolt drew nearer, an irresistible force ensnared him, anchoring him in place and leaving him vulnerable to the impending impact. If it was earlier, Rex would\'ve confronted this attack head-on to pay homage to Kurt and evoke an overwhelming sense of helplessness in his enemies.

Anyone would feel dread if their strongest attack could be fended off easily by Rex.

However, he refrained from doing that.

Instead, he focuses on freeing himself from the ensnarement and dodging the attack.

Despite proving hard to do so, a surge of red force and black lightning is enough to help him leap to the side, enabling him to evade the bolt by a hair\'s length. The projectile streaked past him, disappearing swiftly over the distant horizon.

Coincidentally, the direction where the bolt was heading was the main camp itself.

But it was a deliberate action, Rex planned this, "Now, let\'s see what you got, Executor..."
