Seeing the Haltijas stops makes Rex think, he's thinking of what will he do if they decided to remain in the city and retreat along with the horde.

If that happens that capturing Calidora will be quite a hassle,

Thankfully, the Haltijas somehow wanted to push forward alone.

Rex didn't know if its the confidence they had in protecting Calidora or they are more afraid of the human's guilds attack.

Either way, this is the best possible outcome for Rex.

The three of them immediately follow suit just behind the Haltijas, Rex and his team keep a good distance between them.

"We'll wait for them to be far enough from the city, It will be dangerous if they somehow can contact the horde", Devan said cautiously.

Rex and Liliya nodded their heads,

The Haltijas went towards the swamp, this direction makes Rex frowns, 'Why are they going this way? Aren't they supposed to go south?'

The Haltijas movement is fast,

Rex is paying close attention to them while also trying to keep up, their speed is pretty fast for him.

The Haltijas always on Rex's vision, even though the dense swamp Rex still locked his gaze on them.

But suddenly,

After making a sharp right, the four Haltijas suddenly reduced to three.

Noticing this, Rex felt something is wrong.

"I think they noticed us!", Rex said as he stops abruptly stomping the watery ground.

Splash!

Liliya and Devan also stops, they should've been the ones to strike first but this situation is not what they expected.

They are standing on some kind of big tree roots, they are surrounded by rivers.

Rex looks at the front and saw the three Haltijas is getting further away, "We can't get caught up with this, let's resume!"

Just as Rex said that,

SPLASH!!

Suddenly, the blue Haltija burst out of the water.

Its body is covered with water turning it into a spiral of jet, the water is imbued with water mana making it sharp and fierce.

SWOOSH!!

The blue Haltija shot its body aiming at Rex, it can feel Rex is the weakest among them.

Although the blue Haltija caught them by surprise, Rex's reflex is faster.

He immediately activates his skill, white energy gathered on his hand. The white hue has a hint of silvery color into it, it envelops Rex's claw as he slashes the blue Haltija head-on.

"Force Beam!"

BOOM!!

Rex's claw and the blue Haltija collided,

The shockwaves sent devastating ripples to the murky water, it exploded the water around both of them making a huge tsunami flattening the surrounding trees.

"What?!", Devan was shocked, he was caught in surprise as he got washed away by the water.

Liliya on the other side already jumped out of the way, she's looking towards Calidora that is getting further away.

She then turned blurry before she suddenly appeared beside the blue Haltija, she grabs the blue Haltija's arm leaving a different red mark on it.

The red mark is circle-shaped with a chain wrapping around it, the red mark is glowing with bright red energy.

The blue Haltija kicks Rex away, they got separated from each other.

It then went into the water again disappearing inside the murky water, Rex was looking left and right.

His eyes can't seem to find the blue Haltija through the murky water,

"Rex! Ignore him, he's just there to buy time! I already mark him, follow my lead", Liliya said before she dashes towards Calidora.

She puts a red mark on Rex's body before the same notification appeared,



After the system gives out the notification,

Rex jumped into the lake swimming towards the trident, he felt uneasy because he's fighting inside someone else's element.

He got in front of Devan who is struggling to break free with a glowing blue trident pinning him down but suddenly,

BAM!

Something hit him from the back making him spins a couple of times,

Rex looks around the dark water but found nothing, his night vision ability is rendered weaker because of the water.

He squinted his eyes and saw something moving under the water, 'That blue Haltija is so annoying'

Rex saw the blue Haltija, its spine, legs, and hands are covered with fins and it is moving very fast under the water.

The blue Haltija's attack doesn't hurt but it is quite persistent, only the trident can do some damage the others are nothing.

BAM!!

BAM!!

BAM!!

Rex got hit multiple times by the blue Haltija, he started to get frustrated.

He then felt something approaching from his back, He glances at his back and saw the blue Haltija preparing to hit him again.

"Alpha Intimidation!", his eyes glow making the blue Haltija stunned.
