Chapter 62: Team Members
Inside the hut,
Just as Rex closes his eyes, his eyes suddenly jolted opened.
‘Why do I keep forgetting stuff?’, Rex thought ridiculing himself.
He opens the shop section and searches for something, ‘I just got five thousand gold from the quest before, let’s upgrade my lightning affinity to the mid-rank’
He noticed the mid-rank lightning affinity costs 4,000 gold, he immediately purchased the affinity.
After purchasing the item, a blitzing orb stronger than the one he absorb before appeared on his hands.
Instead of the translucent body of the orb, the mid-rank lightning affinity already turned the shape of thunder and its current is more aggressive than the one before.
Rex then closes his eyes and enter his meditation,
The orb of lightning started to get absorbed by Rex bit by bit until it has finally gone.
<congratulation on=”” upgrading=”” the=”” user’s=”” lightning=”” affinity=”” to=”” mid-rank!=””></congratulation>
The system congratulates Rex but he didn’t see it, he is immersed in his meditation as his body jolted with a current of lightning.
BLITZ!!
If someone saw him in this state they might go insane,
Although the system considered this affinity as a mid-rank, in the real world it is one of the highest-ranking affinities that covered the Awakened body with its elements enhancing the absorption of mana.
In Rex’s consciousness, the abundant lightning mana around him moves towards him way faster than before.
Before he can only absorb one lightning mana after hours of meditating but now he can absorb lightning mana in five minutes!
Enhancing his affinity and the Mana Charm Elixir proved to be effective,
Two hours of meditation,
BLITZ!!
The lightning current that covered his body started getting more intense, it is making a bubble around Rex’s body like some kind of cocoon.
Blitz! Blitz!
The lightning is blitzing crazily as if it’s about to explode,
Rex who is still meditating feels the mana he absorbs settle on his head, he can feel something about to happen when suddenly,
CRACK!
The lightning bubble around him exploded sending a subtle shockwave around him, he can feel his body becomes more familiar with the lightning mana.
Rosie and Adhara who is outside the hut doing their own thing suddenly staggered a little bit because of the shockwave, they both opened their eyes and looks at each other.
Their expression was that of confusion, ‘That’s not Rex right?’, they both thought before approaching the hut slowly.
‘Rex is already strong, if he suddenly becomes an Awakened then…’, Rosie thought before she shakes her head.
Arriving at the hut, Adhara peeks through the curtain and saw Rex standing while a lightning current blitzing around his body excitedly.
She gasped in surprise before stumbling backward,
Looking at this, Rosie also peeks through the curtain and saw the scene which makes her body turns weak all of a sudden.
Rex’s clothes are tattered because of the lightning, the torn part exposes Rex’s solid back muscle.
Rex is feeling his newfound power after the system’s notifications,
<congratulation on=”” achieving=”” rank=”” two=”” power!=””></congratulation>
<obtained 10%=”” lightning=”” resistance=””></obtained>
He clenches his fists feeling the lightning current streaming in his veins,
Rex then tries to cover his body with a lightning aura just like what the other rank-two Awakened do, he tries his best pushing the lightning mana around his body to no avail.
He can’t seem to cover his body with a lightning aura to enhance his physique,
‘Why can’t I move the lightning mana? Did I do something wrong?’, Rex frowns before he puts it into the back of his mind.
Rex remembers that he got another feature from the system, the Lunar Blessing Storage.
He opens the Lunar Blessing Storage,
<lunar blessing=”” stroage=””></lunar>
13/60 minutes
Looking at this Rex was confused, he then asks the system, ‘System, what do the Lunar Blessing Storage do?’
<lunar blessing=”” storage=”” will=”” help=”” the=”” user=”” store=”” the=”” moonlight,=”” the=”” user=”” then=”” can=”” use=”” the=”” stored=”” moonlight=”” at=”” any=”” time=”” the=”” user=”” wishes=””></lunar>
‘So I can get 100% boosts in my stats using this feature, It will definitely be useful’, Rex thought before he shakes his head, ‘This feature is literally a cheat. I can activate a passive skill, how cool is that’, Rex thought.
He’s in thought before suddenly he noticed Rosie and Adhara peeking from the outside.
“What are you both doing?”, Rex asks as he turns around.
Rosie and Adhara was stunned for a moment, they are still in a daze while looking at Rex’s eyes
Rex saw their stunned expression and can’t help to take out his phone and take a picture,
Snap!
He looks at the picture and laughs before suddenly,
“ERASE THAT!!”
“YOU’RE SO MEAN!”
Rosie and Adhara wails in front of him trying to grab the phone,
Rex laughs as he held his phone up, “Stop it, It’s cute don’t worry”, he said teasingly.
The girls struggle to take the phone to no avail, they then pouted, “More importantly, how did you become an Awakened?!”
“Yeah! We never saw you Awakening so how come you become an Awakened?”
“Do you know Lightning is rare?”
“You’ve been keeping this from us?!”
The girls sent a barrage of questions, Rex was overwhelmed so he decided to lie, “I just Awakened today, I was about to tell you guys”, he said while scratching his head.
Rosie and Adhara look at each other before suddenly, “LIAR!!”
“Okay okay, I awakened a couple of days ago. It came naturally during the night, I’ve been meditating since”, Rex answered honestly.
The girls nodded their heads, they then put the matter to rest.
Rex opened his phone and saw a message from Hera, he opens it casually but his face instantly darkened after seeing the message content.
Adhara and Rosie saw Rex’s change in expression, “What is it, Rex?”
“Duncan Platchi is investigating us…”, Rex frowns, he didn’t expect Duncan Platchi to find out about him this quick.
Hearing this, Adhara and Rosie were shocked.
They began to worry, their family is not comparable to the Platchi Family in the slightest so thinking that they might become the Platchi’s family enemy makes them shiver.
Before they started getting more worried,
ZONG!!
Someone suddenly enters the Cluster Domain, Rex frowns before going out of the hut to see who is it.
After going out of the hut, they saw Ugrok drenched in sweats.
“What’s wrong Ugrok?”, Rex asks.
Ugrok catches his breath first before replying, “Ugrok just met humans wearing a black uniform, Ugrok run from them. Ugrok think they saw Ugrok around the Cluster Domain”
Rex’s expression darkened, he then asks the system, “Do you saw any other details?”
Ugrok thinks briefly before replying, “They have a black tiger badge on their chests”
‘Can we seal the Cluster Domain entrance?’
<the user’s=”” authority=”” is=”” not=”” high=”” enough=”” to=”” seal=”” the=”” cluster=”” domain=”” entrance=””></the>
‘How do I raise my authority?’
<cluster domain=”” is=”” like=”” a=”” living=”” being,=”” the=”” user’s=”” authority=”” will=”” rise=”” according=”” to=”” the=”” cluster=”” domain’s=”” trust.=”” it=”” will=”” come=”” naturally=”” through=”” time,=”” the=”” user=”” can=”” also=”” hasten=”” the=”” process=”” by=”” bringing=”” immense=”” elemental=”” stone=”” and=”” feed=”” it=”” to=”” the=”” energy=”” crystal=””></cluster>
The system answered in detail, Rex read it and nodded his head, ‘Okay, but how do I get that many Elemental Stones’, Rex thought.
He then glances at Adhara and Rosie, “We will leave today, so prepare to leave”, Rex said before looking at Ugrok, “You will guard this place until I come back”
Ugrok nodded his head before going inside the hut,
Just as Rex wanted to check the situation outside, he suddenly felt something tugging his clothes.
He glances to his left and saw Adhara tugging his clothes, she then said, “I don’t have any clothes”
Hearing this, Rex was stunned.
He looks at Adhara and saw her only covered by a blanket made by animal’s hide, Rex thought for a little, ‘Wait, how did my clothes are still intact while Adhara is ripped off?’
<the user’s=”” clothing=”” are=”” removed=”” during=”” the=”” transformation=”” process=””></the>
Reading this, Rex was stunned before he smiles wryly, ‘That’s pretty convenient’
He then looks at Adhara who is blushing while holding the blanket around her body, ‘I can buy clothes from the system but they will be suspicious if I take it out of nowhere’
After a brief pause, “Oh, I happen to see clothes inside the hut”, Rex said before he gets inside the hut.
Ugrok notice Rex enter the hut, he was confused especially when Rex looks at the hut wall idly before suddenly,
Swoosh!
One-piece clothes suddenly appear on his hands, the clothes are light brown in color and it is made of animal skin.
‘This’ll do, she will not suspect a thing’, Rex thought before he got out and brings the clothes to Adhara leaving Ugrok speechless.
‘Did he have space magic?! Ugrok is confused’, Ugrok thought while holding his head.
Adhara takes the one-piece and blushed hard, she wanted to change her clothes but Rex’s eyes are still glued on her.
“Can you look away?”, she said shyly.
Rex snapped out of his daze, he chuckles awkwardly and turns to his back, “My bad”
Adhara smiles shyly while Rosie on her side was blazing with anger, she approaches Rex before suddenly.
Smack!
“What’s that for?!”, Rex said angrily.
Rosie flicks her hair grumpily, “Hmph!”, she then left Rex.
‘That little! I will smack her so hard later’, Rex thought.
Rex didn’t wait for Adhara to finish, he jumped out of the Cluster Domain to see the situation in Emham Forest.
The sun is shining brightly, birds are chirping happily.
He glances left and right, ‘There’s no sign of the humans Ugrok talked about, they might already report back to the FAA and that will be bad’
Just when Rex wanted to go around scouting, he suddenly felt something’s watching him.
Rex stopped midtrack and scans the surrounding, his eyes darted left and right trying to locate the figure that is watching him.
The wind brush against Rex’s face, he’s still trying to locate the figure when suddenly,
Bam!
Rex felt something approaching him fast from his back, he activates his Force Beam and parried the object coming towards him.
His reflex is on point, the bullet aiming towards him was parried just like that.
Rex focuses his eyes above the trees on his right, “Huh, the guy told us the third member will be a newbie but who would’ve thought he’s this good”
“Not bad indeed, he’s at least will not become a burden”, a cold feminine voice seeped into Rex’s ears.
The figures came down from the tree,
Without even a sound, two figures suddenly appeared in front of Rex, ‘They’re strong! I can’t even sense their presence if they didn’t shoot me’
“Yo! Rex Silverstar right?”, the male figure wearing all white clothing said to Rex.
The male figure has long white hair that is tied in a ponytail, there is a blade scar crossing his right eye, his smiling expression gives no threatening aura but Rex can tell that he’s strong.
The figure beside him is a woman,
Although the woman wears brown shabby clothes, Rex can tell she is not ordinary.
Her beautiful dark blue eyes match the colors of her blue hair that falls covering her right eye, she looks stunning despite the haggard clothes. There is a blue and black tattoo beside her left eye that is the shape of tree roots, the tattoo also gives a magical feeling to Rex.
Rex looks at them cautiously, “Who are you?!”
The man smiles, “We? We are your team members”, he said with a grin on his face.
