Even though the main motivation in coming here was to defeat the Rastrikan Demons and complete the sudden quest, obtaining the massive rewards that couldn't be ignored, there was another thing that piqued Rex's interest.
It's something that doesn't lose out compared to the rewards gained from the sudden quest.
A unique Demon, Caraptaros.
Based on the details provided by Aructh and Mazel from earlier, Caraptaros could serve as both a portal back to the Demon Kingdom if needed and also a site where the Rastrikan Demons would revive when they were killed in a battle.
From the moment he learned about it, Rex couldn't help but wonder an important question.
Can Caraptaros be turned into a Werewolf?
Just imagining the potential of being able to turn Caraptaros into a Werewolf, granting immortality to him and the others, stirred a raging excitement in Rex's veins, a possibility potent enough to drive him to the brink of madness.
Even if there were countless powerful legions standing in his way, he would not stop.
Rex would not stop until he had his hands on Caraptaros.
Granting immortality to the Silverstar Pack is something that he needed the most right now.
At the thought of this massive possibility, a layer of protection that would help him against the Executor, Rex quickened his pace. Reaching back to the lake, he stares intently at the massive dark boulder at the heart of the lake, which stands motionless in the midst of the gently swaying water caused by the breeze.
Caraptaros remained unresponsive, even with the death of the Rastrikan Demons.
It's still exactly in the same place as when Rex left it before.
Unable to contain the excitement, Rex's eyes glistened and scanned Caraptaros.
Race: Fragmented Red Mordrak
Power: ??? - Inviolate Demonic Aegis
Mental: -
Strength: ???
Agility: 1
Endurance: ???
Intelligence: 0
Rex looked at Caraptaros' stats and frowned, he wasn't expecting something like this.
Most of the physical stats appeared as question marks, signifying their unidentifiable because he was too weak. But what intrigued Rex the most was the Mental stat point, which appeared as a stripe, something he had never encountered before.
System, care to explain this?
Immune? Does it not have a consciousness?
Tch, I knew it. No, don't tell me the probability, I'll just have to try very hard.
How many chances do I have until I can't try anymore?
Despite the slim odds suggested by the System's response, Rex remained unwavering in his determination. He decided to attempt the transformation without any prior preparations, still holding onto the belief that he would not fail in turning Caraptaros into a Werewolf.
Browsing through the System's shop, he bought a perfect rune for Caraptaros.
It's the Paramount Resistance rune.
A rune that would give Caraptaros the ability to be heavily resistant to energy attacks.
Since Caraptaros is already immune to mental attacks and is probably very sturdy as its endurance stat is a bunch of question marks, Rex thought that the Paramount Resistance rune would make use of its strength, turning it into a literal unmovable object.
Caraptaros would only need to be impossible to kill to utilize its strength effectively.
Placing his hand on the surface of Caraptaros' armor-like skin, Rex closed his eyes to center his mind and body, preparing to commence the process of turning Caraptaros into a Werewolf. After a few moments of profound silence, his eyes suddenly snapped open.
"Brand!" He chanted, initiating the branding process.
Immediately after that, his palm glowed as the rune forced its way to Caraptaros' skin.
However, in contrast to the usual swift branding process, a formidable resistance arose, vehemently pushing against Rex's hand and the rune. Fiery sparks of razor-edged demonic energy erupted from their point of contact, creating violent explosions in the surrounding water that gradually became more violent.
"Is it normal for Rex to struggle this much?" Ryze asked, watching this scene from behind.
Upon hearing this, Adhara shook her head, "No, it's not..."
Moments ago, the two had witnessed him effortlessly transform Aructh and Mazel into Werewolves. He did it with extreme nonchalance, quickly and very easily without a trace of effort as if turning others was merely a mundane task for him.
But it seems Caraptaros is completely different than the others.
Rex holds his right hand with his other hand, trying his best to keep his hand steady.
It's resisting this much when I'm only branding it with a rune...?
Although he was willing to try, he had severely underestimated Caraptaros as the resistance was too strong when it was only the branding process. He couldn't imagine how hard it would be to complete the transformation process using his blood.
Fueled with the desire to gain its power, Rex turned into his Werewolf form again.
In addition, he also activates all the enhancements in his arsenal.
Responding as strong, a surge of demonic energy that was abundant within Caraptaros' colossal frame violently erupted, unleashing a formidable wave of power that compelled Rex to take a step back, revealing the true extent of its might.
Just this rush of energy alone tells Rex that he's not capable of overpowering it right now.
"Adhara, Ryze, come help me!" Rex yelled without looking back.
Upon hearing this surprising cry for help, both of them quickly turned into their respective forms and rushed in, forcing their way through the rush of energy before eventually, after a hazardous attempt, standing beside Rex.
Still resisting the gush of energy, Adhara asked loudly, "What should we do?!"
"Focus your energy on the back of the rune and push until it reaches the skin, don't stop until it's completely engraved on its skin" Rex replied back, the gush of energy made it so that he needed to speak loud too.
Both Adhara and Ryze darted their eyes to Rex's hand and found what he was talking about.
A radiant blue rune can be seen in between Rex's palm and Caraptaros' skin. It was being held back by the relentless pushback of the demonic energy emanating from Caraptaros' impenetrable hide. Gradually, the rune is visibly yielded ground inch by inch.
Not wasting a single second, Ryze and Adhara quickly leaped into action.
Doing as Rex instructed, the two channeled their energies and helped push the rune forward.
Swish...!
Knowing that it still wouldn't be enough, Rex summoned Amanir and Devo to join the fray, adding their combined strength to the relentless push against the surging demonic energy, and only when the five of them combined their might that the demonic energy starts to be overwhelmed.
Bit by bit, it was pushed back, and the blue rune moved forward once again.
Eventually, the rune touched Caraptaros' skin.
noVe)Lb)In
Swoosh!
Boom!!
Upon managing to finally make contact with its skin, an explosion of energy happened and hurtled Ryze and Adhara away, crashing through multiple trees. Similarly, Amanir and Devo's physical bodies were extinguished, evaporating into spirit energy.
Rex was the only one left, and he was panting heavily as a notification appeared.
