Chapter 1071 Combat Awareness
Rex doesn\'t know when, but ancient Awakened assimilated with a spirit at a higher realm.
At the very least, at the seventh-rank realm or above.
Due to the burden of the mind, stressing over the preparation for this fight—he didn\'t realize he didn\'t realize that throughout their encounter, he had never seen the Executor summoning his own elemental spirit.
Not once had he used his spirit energy.
From the moment they met until now, the Executor only used his raw mana to fight others.
Only the naive would think the Executor doesn\'t have a spirit.
"What is that...? Even Devo is a child compared to that," Rex gasped sharply seeing the literal chaos incarnation, a being of profound ancientness, a clear specter of the primordial world—the Executor\'s spirit manifests itself and gazed at him.
At the sight of this, Rex felt his throat instantly felt dry.
It felt like he was stared at by the ultimate predator, a humongous obsidian nine-tailed fox.
Manifesting gracefully into the world of the living, the beast eyed Rex from top to bottom. Its fur is a vortex of obsidian. Purple shadows seem to cling to it, wisps of darkness playing over sinewy limbs.
Nothing could escape this primordial spirit\'s eyes.
Possessing multiple eyes across its head showed its exceptional sight ability, however, it was not only relying on those eyes. Its nine tails also had amethyst eyes across them—a spirit of unfathomable power and origin.
Fused by spirit energy, the Executor\'s aura spreads and cracks the ground.
Rex felt his own body tightened when he felt this.
If earlier he could handle the Executor\'s aura well, this time, he would need to give in effort.
Only then can he sustain the pressing aura from the Executor.
Knowing that the two were about to battle, resulting in deadly devastations—the people who were too close to them started to retreat to safer distances. At the very least, they should be able to fight against the opposing army without being impacted by the impending clash that would occur soon enough between Rex and the Executor.
Meanwhile, Rex shook his head and snapped out of his daze.
He squinted his eyes to inspect the Executor\'s spirit.
Devo possesses a remarkable spirit energy, comparable to spirits above five thousand years of age. However, the Executor\'s spirit... Its energy is extraordinarily dense, easily doubling if not more of Devo\'s spirit energy, making it around the ten thousand-year mark.
Assessing the spirit, Rex could tell instantly that it was way stronger than Devo.
[It surpasses me by leagues. That spirit is known as Sharion the Fox Tyrant, one of the fifty Divine Spirits of Corvanna, among the strongest in the spirit realm. If I\'m considered a High Spirit now, Sharion is a Divine Spirit. Despite its placement being near the bottom ranks, it\'s still very strong]
[Yeah, it\'s scary... Its source of power is worship through fear if remember correctly]
Out of nowhere, Devo and Amanair explained.
Even though he doesn\'t have the System to instantly access the knowledge he seeks, he can still rely on Devo and Amanir, both well-versed in the spirit realm. However, receiving the info about Sharion furrowed his brown with concern.
Since this spirit is famous and even got a nickname, it must be extremely strong.
As expected of the Executor\'s elemental spirit.
Before Rex could even recover from the shock, the Executor stepped forward and declared.
"You promise to challenge my view—as stupid as that might sound, I respect it," the Executor spoke with a measured intensity, advancing forward with steady steps. "In return, I also offer my own vow for this confrontation: before this battle ends, Royal Black Prince, you will kneel before me!"
Swoosh!
Rex\'s pupils dilated seeing the Executor cut the distance between them instantly.
He managed to barely cross his arms to defend himself.
Bam!
In a split second, infused with the spirit energy from his primordial spirit, the Executor struck Rex with his claw-like fingers and sent him crashing away. A blast of chaos energy was made upon impact, strengthening the propelling force.
So strong! My arms are numb!
Giving no time for Rex to rest, the sky split open before a figure came crashing down.
During the second Rex was disoriented, the Executor managed to leap and pierce the clouds above before coming crashing down once again. He became a purple shooting star, and the speed he was traveling became faster and faster with the help of his spirit.
It was galloping the air hard right beside the Executor.
Crash!!
Only Rex could see the trajectory of the Executor\'s attack, but the onlookers couldn\'t.
None of them could see what was happening as the ground suddenly inflated and exploded.
Blocking the attack with the Amuerus Katana, Rex witnessed that the weapon\'s surface was visibly cracking under the sheer force of the attack. It could barely handle the attack. I must kill more people! I couldn\'t go against him head-on, I need more strength!
Gritting his teeth, Rex kicked the Executor in the guts, pushing him back before escaping.
As he sprinted to the side, heading to the Human Army, he activated both Devo and Amanir\'s Gladiator Form, augmenting his physique further. He also didn\'t hesitate to activate one other skill of his, the Extreme State skill—pushing his limit to the absolute maximum.
Swoosh!
Blitz!
Ignoring the Executor, he went straight to the Human Army.
Even though he hesitated to kill them right now, the pressure forced him to not hesitate.
Channeling his Red Force, he initiated a merciless onslaught, cutting through the ranks of the Human Army with brutal efficiency. He swung the Amuerus Katana left and right, claiming all the lives he could in the shortest amount of time.
Nothing could block his seething attack.
Some of the machines that were infused with mutated animal hides were still not enough.
All got sliced by the strength of the Ameurus Katana.
Rex was desperately amplifying the power of the Amuerus Katana, and also accumulating all Life Essences that he could get. He could tell that at this point, he couldn\'t really do anything to the Executor.
Any second now, I only need to make him exert more power.
Nodding his head, Rex continued the onslaught before the Executor came rushing in.
Roarr!
Invigorated at the sight of Rex managing to single-handedly cause disruptive problems—the Executor charged towards him from the back, tackling him with formidable force. Going for a rough grab to Rex\'s neck, the Executor slammed his head to the ground.
Brutally, the Executor sprinted and dragged Rex\'s head across the battlefield.
He was handling Rex through sheer strength alone.
Upon reaching the center of the battlefield, hitting Supernaturals that got in the way without stopping, he forcefully hurled Rex forward. As Rex\'s head spun from being dragged along the ground, he was flung onward.
Reaching out his hand, a chilling ink-black spear flew and went to the Executor\'s hands.
Blasting forward, the Executor aims to impale Rex with the spear.
However, Rex fortunately was able to stave off the dizziness and reacted quickly.
Blitz!
He fired a couple of black lighting strikes at the Executor.
It was an attempt to distract the Executor and escape this disadvantageous momentum.
Just as he did that, Rex\'s eyes widened in astonishment as he witnessed the Executor cast a meaningful smile at him and summon a swirling vortex of purple chaos from his palm, able to absorb the lightning strikes as if it were a voracious black hole.
Not stopping at that, the Executor did the unthinkable.
Blitz!!
Pointing his hand at Rex, a couple of lightning strikes came out of his fingertips.
Distinct from Rex\'s lightning strikes, these bolts bore a violet hue, yet their essence remained unchanged. Caught off guard by this unexpected development, Rex got electrocuted. He let out a grunt before he somersaulted backward, landing on his feet with a heavy pant.
It\'s like what he did at the Vampire back then.
Rex remembered the moment when he was still helping the Executor at the Shifting Realm.
There, he intentionally permitted an attack to land on the Executor, only to see an unfamiliar way of power. With a mere gaze, the Executor was able to make the Vampire responsible for the attack bleed profusely.
Back then, Rex didn\'t know what it was but turns out he copied the Vampire\'s spell.
Coming to this realization, Rex couldn\'t help but frown.
Summoning creatures, suppression, and now copying abilities... What more does he have?
"Is that all that you can do, Fifthbo-"
Just before he could finish his sentence, Rex saw a gleaming, razor-sharp object hurtling at lightning speed toward him. Reacting swiftly—he leaped backward just in time to evade the deadly thrust that turned out to be the ink-black spear belonging to the Executor.
His Werewolf senses were still very sensitive to threats.
Even with the disparity in power, it would still be hard for the Executor to get him like this.
He should be coming to me right now. Maybe I should explode this entire place wi-
Once again, Rex couldn\'t finish his thoughts as the Executor suddenly appeared before him—appearing like a ghost and caught the flying spear that was mere inches from Rex\'s body. As Rex saw this, his eyes widened in utter disbelief.
So... So fast! I think he used a spell when I was not focused on him!
Even though the usage of spirit energy made the Executor stronger, he shouldn\'t be able to blitz Rex like this. He was fast, but it shouldn\'t be to the point where Rex couldn\'t sense him approaching closer.
Casting a wicked smile, the Executor exclaimed, "I got you now, Royal Black Prince!"
Raising the spear high and above, the chaos mana around him swirled.
It was swirling like a whirlwind and made the tip of the black spear the core of its rotation.
Just from this alone, Rex could tell that the Executor was about to cast another chaos spell.
One that would undoubtedly be way stronger than anything he uses.
Despite the imminent danger posed by the incoming attack, with the high probability that he would be injured severely, Rex\'s lips curled into a smile that confused the Executor. In such a situation, his reaction was unexpected and puzzling.
"You should rethink again," Rex mused with a daunting smile. "Did you forget something?"
Upon hearing this, the Executor frowned for a second before his eyes widened.
Almost instantly, he looked skywards and found the white sphere in the sky was gleaming.
It was reacting to his heightening power.
Realizing that unleashing one of his stronger spells provoked a vehement response from the white sphere of the First Breath, the Executor clenched his teeth and intended to deliver the attack he was about to do at Rex.
But his momentary hesitation earlier cost him the chance to exact the attack.
Rex was able to make a quick dash away from the Executor.
Even though he did that quickly, Rex\'s leg was still within the Executor\'s reach.
Naturally, the Executor wanted to pull him so that at the very least, both of them would bore the full brunt of the white sphere\'s force, but the suppression shot from the white sphere, in the form of a white beam, outpaced even the Executor\'s swift reflexes.
Shingg!
Boom!!
Since the power coming from the Executor was immense, the reaction was also immense.
Rex and all the others near the area got flung away like bullets.
Even the ground was trembling violently as if there was a nuke exploding nearby, all because of the Executor\'s power exceeding the threshold of the First Breath by a large margin. It was what Rex was expecting from the start.
He wanted to use the white sphere against the Executor. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
A moment ago when he was activating his King Marks, he was being extra careful.
One wrong move and he would be shot at the suppression.
Due to that very reason, he chose to persist with his lightning spells despite knowing that the lightning element was not effective against the Executor. He made a calculated act to avoid suppression from the white sphere.
"Not even you would come out unscathed from that, Fifthborn" Rex mused with a light smirk.
