Chapter 169: Hatched Egg (Part 1)

"That thing disappeared?" Rex frowned when he saw the Wind Vortex suddenly disappear from the sky.

Enzo gulped down his remaining alcohol and threw away the bottle. Wiping his mouth, he spoke in a low voice.

"Let’s go and see. Maybe we will find something there."

Rex nodded, and both of them moved toward the location where they had seen the wind vortex.

When they reached their destination, they saw a young man standing there, looking in their direction.

"Was that phenomenon caused by this guy?" Rex asked Enzo as he looked at Evan closely.

But because Evan’s aura was fully under his control, neither of them could sense anything abnormal about him.

Other than being able to tell that he was a Level 44 Evolver, there was nothing special about him.

Enzo stared at Evan for a few seconds before speaking.

"Since he is the only one here, just ask him if he knows anything."

Rex nodded and took a step forward.

"What happened here just now?" He asked in a demanding voice.

Evan frowned slightly upon hearing the tone of Rex’s voice, and seeing their bandit-like appearance, he had a feeling that they were not good people.

Not wanting to ruin his good mood, he did not bother with them and turned around to leave.

Seeing him leave without answering, Rex’s face darkened while Enzo burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... Rex, you might as well add a few more scars to your ugly face. Look, you can’t even scare someone who isn’t even at the peak of Rank One with your face."

Rex glared at Enzo angrily before looking back at Evan’s retreating figure.

"You bastard! Where do you think you are going?" He shouted and slashed downward with his right hand.

As soon as Rex slashed down, a crescent moon-shaped black slash shot toward Evan at a frightening speed.

Boom!!!

The attack reached Evan in an instant and hit its target, raising a cloud of dust.

Rex snorted when he saw this, and his lips curled upward.

"That’s what you get for being cocky in front of me."

Enzo shook his head and sighed.

"You should have held back a little. What if he died? We still have to ask him about what was happening here."

Just as he finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly swept through the area and blew away the cloud of dust, revealing the result of the earlier attack.

When Rex and Enzo saw the scene inside the dissipating dust cloud, their eyes widened in shock.

They had thought Evan would be heavily injured by Rex’s attack, but the result was completely different.

Forget about being seriously injured, there wasn’t even a scratch on his body. He was standing behind a green wind shield that had completely stopped Rex’s attack.

’The Danger Sense skill I learned is really useful...’ Evan thought inwardly as he recalled how his instincts had sent him warning signals the instant he turned around to leave.

Although he would have still been able to react to Rex’s sudden attack even without the warning from his Danger Sense skill, he was still very satisfied with this passive skill.

Shifting his attention to Rex and Enzo, Evan looked at them indifferently and spoke in a flat voice.

"Although I had already expected you two bandits to do something, I am still feeling annoyed because you ruined my good mood."

Enzo frowned slightly upon hearing Evan and asked Rex.

"This guy is not normal. Do you need help?"

"No need..." Rex sneered. "That was just a normal attack. So what if he stopped it?"

As he spoke, a cold gleam flashed in Rex’s eyes, and he began walking toward Evan.

"Just because you stopped that attack, do you think you are great?" A chilling smile appeared on Rex’s face. "I was thinking about playing with you before, but it looks like I will have to change my plan a little."

Evan stared at Rex for a second before shaking his head.

"I want to feel surprised, but I really can’t. I was damn sure that you would definitely throw out a corny line like that after failing in your sneak attack."

"Hahaha..." Enzo couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon hearing Evan. "This guy is really amusing."

Rex did not share Enzo’s amusement, and the smile on his face stiffened when he heard Evan.

"You bastard!" He gritted his teeth, and a black aura burst forth from him as he shot toward Evan at lightning speed.

Evan’s eyes narrowed when he saw the black aura around Rex.

’So, he really can use the element of darkness,’ Be thought, staring at the black aura surrounding Rex’s body.

When he had blocked Rex’s attack earlier, Evan was not sure about it, but now, seeing this black aura, he was certain that Rex was using the power of the darkness element.

The element of darkness was one of the most powerful elements when it came to destruction and attack power.

It was completely opposite to the light element.

While the light element was gentle in nature, the darkness element was extremely destructive.

’He might have been able to challenge me for a few seconds if he had faced me before, but now...’ Evan’s lips arched upward, and a green light flashed in his eyes.

"Shackles of Wind," He muttered in a low voice.

And as soon as Evan’s voice fell, Rex, who was running toward him like a bullet, stopped midway and dropped to the ground like a statue.

Enzo, who was standing at the back, also stopped moving as if something was binding his body.

Swish!!

A cold wind brushed against Rex’s face, and a figure appeared before him.

Rex tried to move his body but felt as if he were bound by countless iron chains.

Bang!

A kick landed right on Rex’s stomach, sending him flying away. He crashed against a tree ten meters away, feeling his internal organs churn from the impact.

Cough!

An iron-like taste filled Rex’s mouth, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if he had been kicked by a bull.

’What the hell is going on?’ He shouted inwardly, feeling incredibly shocked.
