Chapter 625 Absolute Battle Instinct
Meanwhile, about a couple of miles north of the battle.
A couple of hundreds of Supernatural consisting of Vampires and Undeads are guarding a place on high alert in case someone tries to ambush them, it was unnecessary since it’s their territory but it’s never wrong to be more careful.
Inside this herd of Supernaturals, there are six of them having eighth-rank realm power.
But the dense and powerful energies which are clouding the entire place around them were not coming from these six-eighth-rank realm Supernaturals, it comes from two figures sitting in the middle of ten pillars surrounding them in a circle instead.
From their appearance alone, one is a Vampire while the other is an Undead.
Nothing can emit this much oppressing energy aside from ninth-rank realm Supernaturals, and these two are none other than King Solomon and King Lax’rad. Both of them are in an idle stance, unmoving from their sitting position.
Aside from the two of them, there are other things inside the ten pillars.
Since they both are channeling their energies to create and maintain the invisible barrier, they need an immense amount of energy that even a ninth-rank realm Supernatural can’t satiate. It’s not a regular barrier, and also they need more and more power to maintain the barrier and prevent it from crumbling.
Right beside King Solomon is a big vessel containing a massive amount of blood.
Channeling his energy, King Solomon draws more energy from the blood inside the vessel in order to maintain the invisible barrier. At a visible rate, the blood inside the vessel is decreasing rapidly which made a couple of Vampires refill the vessel constantly.
With their preparation, they brought an extravagant amount of blood, but it was running thin.
On the other hand, King Lax’rad draws more death energy from a dark black orb on top of a mountain of human corpses. Aside from that there are also captured humans chained beside the mountain of corpses, there are 100 at first but now it’s already lesser than half.
Using the energies they gathered a bubble of translucent energy spawned outside the ten pillars.
The translucent energy is the product of King Solomon and King Lax’rad’s energy that already has been filtered by the ten pillars, it was linked directly to the invisible barrier and supplied with the energy it needed to sustain the rampaging energy within.
Rumble!
“Hahkk!”, King Solomon suddenly spat a mouthful of blood as the invisible barrier trembled.
Looking at the blood dripping down from his mouth, a Royal Vampire that was tasked to refill the vessel holds onto the bubble in worry. King Solomon is very strong, and it’s weird to see him get hurt like this.
Feeling the miss of energy, King Lax’rad then mutters, “Keep your focus or the barrier will shatter!”
“Don’t tell me what to do, I know that already”, King Solomon replied while wiping the blood from his mouth, he then glanced to the side before he gave a Royal Vampire a nod before he closes his eyes once again.
Upon receiving the nod, the Royal Vampire went and take a small jar that is also filled with blood.
But compared to the blood inside the vessel that is already half-filled left, the blood inside the jar has a more vibrant red color and also emits denser blood energy. Judging from its appearance alone shows that this blood is way more potent than regular blood.
After pouring the blood inside the jar into the vessel, a red light shone from inside the vessel.
With that out of the way King Solomon then focuses back on maintaining the invisible barrier, but there’s a frown on his very pale face realizing that it took longer than scheduled to take down the Royal Black Prince.
On top of the rampaging energy, he knows that there’s something unexpected happening there.
Just as the two are stabilizing the invisible barrier once again, an Undead Lord with a muscular body and its entire body blazing with green fire approaches Demelza standing by the side nonchalantly before he said, “What are you thinking right now?”
𝗈𝒱𝓛xt.𝔠𝑜𝓜
“Nothing, I’m just keeping a watch”, Demelza replied shortly without glancing at the Undead.
Upon hearing this the Undead also trains his eyes forward to where Demelza is looking before he said, “Hmmm… I think there’s a squirrel at that three right there, it might be a spell from the humans. Or maybe the tree itself is a trap made by the humans, do you want to check it out?”
Demelza glanced at the Undead with a frown, finding what he said is irritating.
“Relax, there’s no need to be this stiff. If there’s a human we’ll know, the scouts are scattered everywhere. Why don’t you just tell me what’s in your troubled minds?”, the Undead raises both of his hands and said.
Looking back to the front, Demelza sighs lightly before leaning against a tree.
Pausing for a couple of seconds she then finally opens her mouth, “Everything should be settled about ten minutes ago, but the battle hasn’t ended yet. Someone should be helping the Royal Black Prince if it takes this long, and I’m just thinking that this might be a wrong move…”
“Brighten up, Demelza. Don’t you have faith in the Origin?”, the Undead asked with a smile.
But after saying that the Undead then continues, “Although I also think that King Oddity should be helping us right now instead of locating the Executor, it should be fine. King Baralt has already reached the first ascension, Queen Catsha can cripple anyone’s soul, and Azzen has the most destructive power, I doubt the three of them would fail”
“With the three of them working for a better Supernatural future, I’m certain that we’ll win”
Upon hearing this Demelza looks at the Undead’s expression that is filled with hope, she then turns her head away to look at the other guarding Supernaturals and mutters softly, “Yeah, I hope we’ll win. But I don’t think our Kings are on the same page as us…”
Just as she mutters that each one of the Supernatural’s bodies here stiffens.
KABOOM!
Out of nowhere, a raging energy wave hits them from the front which comes from within the invisible barrier, the Undeads moved quickly and immediately chanted their very strong spells to block the energy wave.
It was powerful that all of the eighth-rank realm Undeads needs to help in blocking it.
While this is all happening Demelza can smell a scent of blood that doesn’t belong to the human blood they brought, she looks back and saw King Solomon and King Lax’rad were taking damage relentlessly as they try to stabilize the invisible barrier.
Even though she knows that the energy wave is powerful, now she knows exactly how powerful.
From the effect sustained by both King Solomon and King Lax’rad alone, this energy wave should be stronger than both of their powers combined. It should be caused by a powerful clash of Rex, King Baralt, and Queen Catsha from the inside.
Glancing back to the invisible barrier with her worried red eyes, Demelza touches her chest.
“I have a bad feeling about this…”
A moment ago inside the hellish plain,
Rex jumped straight at King Baralt and Queen Catsha as he gathers every ounce of strength inside his body into his claws that are vibrating with gushing energy, his eyes are fixated on the last final clash wanting to go through the extreme moment with everything he has.
But as he was approaching quickly, Queen Catsha launch her attack first.
“Succubi Spell, Grasp of Souls!”
Swoosh!
Instantly after she chanted that her soul separated from her actual body in a form of a menacing astral red creature, it then launches itself straight at Rex and enters his body. Nothing can obstruct its movement, Rex doesn’t have anything to block the soul.
Rex would be able to grasp the soul if he has the Banished Dark Moon King Mark.
Since the Dark Moon King Mark allows him to claw the dimension and enter anything beyond this dimension, he would be able to grab a soul which exists in a different plane. But ever since the Countess’ sulk, Rex can’t use that ability anymore.
“Grrghh!”, Rex groaned feeling his body being infiltrated by the red soul.
Just like the attack from the Succubus earlier did, Queen Catsha’s soul latches onto Rex’s soul and grabs it tightly. It dugs its claws into Rex’s soul with an even stronger force than the two eighth-rank realm succubus that tries to do the same earlier.
But the Whiro Necklace of Despair reacted again, helping him in sustaining the soul attack.
Rex kicks the air behind him with his kingly energy wanting to quickly reaches Queen Catsha and King Baralt. It was supposed to be fine, but then suddenly Rex can feel his soul weakening from another spell from Queen Catsha.
“Soul Spell, Sadism Empowerment!”
Clenching her hand tightly, her soul sucks the power straight from Rex’s soul.
Even though the Whiro Necklace of Fear is burning Queen Catsha’s soul as it did before, Queen Catsha’s soul sustains it by absorbing the power right out of Rex’s soul through her soul’s claws. It made Rex’s soul get smaller and smaller as Queen Catsha’s soul was beefier and beefier.
Under the excruciating pain, Rex’s soul got locked as his eyes rolled to the back.
With his own soul being domesticated by Queen Catsha’s soul which has won the struggle, Rex finds his consciousness leaving his mind as he can no longer feel his body. For a moment, his body weaken as his momentum upwards got slower.
“King Baralt! End it right now!!”, Queen Catsha shouted while holding Rex’s soul tightly.
Not wanting anything to go anymore wrong, she even stabbed her devil tail into Rex’s chest before imbuing despair once again. It should fix their win since Rex has not completely neutralized without being able to move even a muscle.
Realizing this, King Baralt’s eyes sparked fiercely as his claws burned with kingly energy stronger.
Swoosh!
Boom!
King Baralt created a sonic boom as he descend from the sky swiftly intending to finish Rex off with his last attack, aiming for the neck is the best option as beheading Rex would definitely kill him without a doubt.
It puts a smile on King Baralt’s face as his claws are about to slash Rex’s head off.
But right when his claws were an inch away from sealing the deal, “Hmmm…?”, Rex’s body suddenly twitched before in the next fraction of a second King Baralt widened his eyes in utter shock from disbelieving what he was looking at right now.
‘H-How?!! Why won’t you stop!!”
Not only King Baralt, but even Queen Catsha was completely caught off guard.
KABOOM!!
SWOOSH!!
Just before the claws were about to connect and ended the battle once and for all, Rex’s body suddenly moved as his kingly energy resurfaced once more. With his Executor slash and also the enhancement from Red Force and True Werewolf King Blood Physique, Rex slashed back at King Baralt.
What caught them off guard was the fact that Rex can move and even use his power to retaliate.
Queen Catsha has already restrained his soul completely which means that his consciousness was not in his mind, he should be completely passed out and his body is also restrained and can’t be moved. But Rex breaks all of that logic and clashes against King Baralt.
It was something that none of them prepared, especially King Baralt.
“RAARGHH!!”, King Baralt shouted at the top of his lungs as his claws clashed against Rex’s claws, he was under the mercy of the Origin energy that cloaked Rex’s claws due to his Unholy Claws of the Reaper skill.
Even though he was a ninth-rank realm Supernatural, his claws feel like they were about to break.
Gritting his teeth as their clash created a phenomenon that created a hole in the dimension they are in, King Baralt looks at Rex before he finds that Rex still has his eyes closed, ‘Don’t tell me the battle instinct inside of him reacted and move and activate his power while he was still unconscious?!’
Just as he realized that Rex’s eyes slowly opened exposing his absent red eyes.
Rex then cracked a devious grin even though his consciousness still hasn’t come back yet, everything he did is driven by instinct and instinct alone. With more power, he thrust his claws forward and pushes King Baralt back.
Krrkkk!
Crack!
The crack on King Baralt’s claws is starting to spread before Rex gives it one last push.
Shatter!
BOOM!
