Chapter 963 For the Future

His words sent Brigitta into a heavy silence as she was not expecting this at all.

It was a common secret that Ryze, despite having the appearance of a draconic adult, was nothing more than an innocent teen. Surely, he's not used to this kind of situation, and could easily be swayed through words, stroking at his innocence.

An indecisive teen, especially since he chose Edward and now reconciled with Rex again.

But as it turns out, he was not easily swayed.

Even the way he spoke earlier showed a cerebral hint, a trait a teen like him shouldn't have.

Not wanting to continue the manipulative conversation further, Ryze went down from the moving reinforced tank and went to another on the left. He knew that the more he talked with Brigitta, the more she would try to influence him, and he didn't want that.

'I should've known that Rex already prepared him when he's bringing that kid here...'

Despite her attempt, Brigitta failed miserably.

She should've known that if Rex had brought Ryze here, he must be exceedingly confident and well-prepared. Now, she was worried that Ryze would tell her attempt to Rex, a highly likely scenario, that she hadn't thought through earlier.

Then again, she didn't think that she would fail, so that's her fault entirely.

'No, I'll be fine. The Executor is not going to let Rex do anything to me' Brigitta pondered.

However, she now looked at Ryze in a new light, poising him as also a threat.

Glancing over her shoulder and casting a contemplative gaze back toward the camp's direction, a deep furrow creased her brow, and a puzzling thought lingered in her mind. 'The Executor... What is his true plan? Rex is here, we're on our own turf with the advantage. It would be unrealistic to not eliminate him now, or at least try. So why hasn't he done that already? Why is he treating Rex as an honored guest?'

Initially, she thought that the Executor was setting up a trap for Rex and taking him out.

But it doesn't appear to be like that.

If she was the Executor, then she would've taken him out right now and saved the trouble.

Upon pondering about the situation, Brigitta could only sigh lightly, she wasn't the one in charge so there was nothing she could do about this. 'I really can't see through him. But I really hope what you're doing is the right thing, Executor'

Meanwhile, back to the desert region.



Despite having consistent trouble trying to level up, he at last managed to increase his level.

Rex was still battling against the juiced-up Vampires.

On the periphery of his vision, he could see Edward and Mavenna fighting their own battles.

Inexplicably, even while affected by the Ichor Blindness, Edward displayed an uncanny ability to react and evade the Vampires' assaults as if he could see albeit reacting slower compared to the normal. But it was evident that he was also suffering from the Ichor Blindness, judging from his crimson-invaded eyes.

Additionally, his unique armor instinctively shielded him from most attacks.

He was doing great despite the circumstances.

Edward mostly helped the right flank of the army from the Vampires and the changing terrain, as it was the army that suffered the most, shooting blindly with the hope of being able to hit something.

On the other hand, Mavenna was surprisingly doing very well on her own.

Rex was utterly surprised as he cast a glance at her.

Around her was a thick pinkish demonic energy that summoned a thin, pink thorn to whoever tried to lay a hand on her, turning her into an actual rose. Those who were stabbed by the thorns weren't hurt but experienced a drastic change in under ten seconds.

lightsnοvεl.cοm Contrary to pressing their assault on Mavenna harder, these Vampires stopped abruptly.

In ten seconds, they turned and attacked their own comrades.

Mavenna could alter their minds and turn them against each other without much difficulty.

Seems like I was too lenient, I need to be careful around her.

Finding that Mavenna was even more capable than he initially thought, he decided to keep his guard when around her. She was appointed as his personal assistant here, and he's now sure that it was because of a reason.

Seeing that Kurt was right before him, Rex didn't evade.

Instead of evading, he pushed his forehead towards Kurt's fist and cut the punch short.

Bam!

Despite his inability to see, he relied on his understanding of the patterns and movements he had observed during their fight. As a result, he predicted Kurt's punch and made the punch lack the momentum and power it could have generated under normal circumstances.

Compared to causing harm to Rex, it harmed Kurt's fist more.

Like a blur, three Vampire captains surrounded him and circulated their blood energies.

Much like the Werewolves from the current era, the ancient Vampires relied more on their imposing physical attributes, boasting large, muscular bodies reminiscent of bats. Rather than relying on weapons, they shrouded their formidable thirty-centimeter claws in blood energy, enhancing their already overpowering force.

Swish!

BAM!

In quick succession, the three Vampire captains' swipe hit their targets.

Each swipe lands on Rex's face, guts, and back respectively, blasting a strong shockwave.

However, their vampiric eyes widened when Rex didn't budge from his spot.

Knowing that they were confronting one of the strongest entities in the new era, the three Vampire captains intensified their attacks, pushing their muscles and energies to their absolute limits. Also, they made efforts to infiltrate and manipulate the very blood flowing within Rex's veins.

Earlier, despite hardly doing damage, the Vampire captains still caused some damage.

The three of them could at least assist Kurt in his fight.

However, now, no matter how much they tried, Rex's expression is still composed.

Nothing they do works on him anymore.

It was only then that they realized that Rex had somehow gotten strong.

Compared to earlier, the gap between them was too far for them to cause any damage.
