Chapter 964 Still Above and Beyond
Rex puts his all into dodging the attack, his movement is motivated by a plan inside his head.
It was always his trait to take an attack head-on.
Many would think that this unique trait of his would be the end of him one day and is outright stupid, as the safer way of approaching this would be to dodge an attack that has a chance to hurt him, no matter how small that chance would be.
But Rex knew that he would only break through his limit if he was under immense pressure.
His potential only shines when there's a huge pressure threatening him.
Additionally, this trait would allow him to gauge the very limit of his current capabilities.
Unlike normal people or even Awakened that was vulnerable to long-term damages they sustained in a battle, Rex has no such problem as his regenerative capability would always heal him back to normal as long as he has sufficient strength.
Due to that, this kind of trait is fine for him but definitely not suitable for the majority.
Observing this from afar, Elder Nolacula and Tilrith were also surprised.
"Ah...? His evasion of that strike caught me by surprise" Elder Tilrith mused in shock.
Elder Nolacula nodded, a perplexed expression on his face as he observed Rex gracefully evading the bolt fired by Kurt. "Weird... If it was like last time, he would have taken such an attack head-on. Although the attack is not that bad and is quite strong, it shouldn't have been enough to incapacitate him, especially with the Hare Moon approaching so closely"
Both Elders were intrigued by this weird behavior.
Despite not knowing Rex closely, their impression of him is not someone who would do this.
Much like when Rex faced off against the Storm Prince, who was determined to end his life, he opted to take the full force of the Storm Prince's attack rather than evade it, even though dodging might have increased his chance of survival.
He decided to fend off the attack to get his point across.
For the two Elders, it was probably Rex's pride of not wanting to back down to any attack.
So seeing him dodging Kurt's attack is quite surprising.
It was only then that Elder Tilrith's eyes flashed and she quickly darted to the right.
Swish!
Kaboom!!
Slicing through the air faster than sound itself, Kurt's bolt emitted a sharp, piercing whistle that irritated the ears. It detonated in the distance with a colossal explosion, giving birth to a crimson dome that showered the area within with a macabre rain of blood.
Upon seeing this, Elder Tilrith's eyes widened, "Wait, that is the..."
Realizing the reasoning behind Rex dodging that attack, a smile crept on her face.
Meanwhile, Rex straightened his back and cracked his neck lightly.
From the start, he doesn't have any intention of taking Kurt's powerful and last attack.
Even though Kurt's attack, amplified by the five Enchanters managed to gather a surprising amount of energy to the point that Rex could feel the pressure pressing against his skin, it was not the power that made him decide to dodge.
Instead, he had something in mind that would be perfect for this moment.
However, his decision angered Kurt.
"Coward! If you had an ounce of honor, you would have taken that attack or used an attack of your own to block it! Dodging it is a mockery of my resolve!" Kurt's furious roar carried the weight of his emotions and power, he put everything in that attack.
Rex's choice to evade the attack was a blatant disregard for Kurt's determination.
In response to this, Rex only picked his ears.
Upon seeing this, Kurt's anger reached its boiling point, fueled by the apparent absence of honor in the modern era. He was determined to charge at Rex once more and make him face the consequences of his disrespectful act.
People in the past had honor, adjusting to their opponents, and disrespect is unacceptable.
But then, Rex raised his gaze and looked at Kurt directly.
A smile graced his face as he pointed to his back with his thumb, pointing at something on the horizon. "I don't think you have the luxury of concerning yourself with me or matters of honor anymore. Your opponent now isn't me, it's him..."
Kurt's eyebrows creased when he heard this, and his eyes instinctively darted to the horizon.
Suddenly, a dark figure could be seen flying in the sky.
Ngoong!
Just the mere sight of this dark figure sent shivers down the spines of the ancient Vampires, even Kurt's face portrayed sheer terror. Moreover, the aura radiating from the distant dark figure was intense enough to sear their eyes directly.
Akin to looking at the sun directly, none of them were able to see the dark figure for too long.
However, most of them stood their ground and readied themselves.
Pure determination in their eyes.
Of course, the dark figure is none other than the Executor himself, his fury was evident.
Across his body was small sharp blood fragments, piercing his skin.
Upon seeing this, Rex smiled as it was his plan all along to make the attack land on the Executor. He even boosted the bolt from earlier with his black lightning to make it even stronger and faster without anyone realizing it.
Elder Nolacula and Tilrith gathered their armies to test his power.
Due to that, Rex has a brilliant idea to use their army to test the Executor's power like this.
System, I know you're always in tune, but focus on the Executor.
Come on, show me more glimpses of your true might. I've already cataloged all the skills that you used in our first encounter. Now, use something different, or better yet, use something that I could steal from you.
Rex turned to look at the Executor with expectant eyes.
He wanted to know about the Executor more and also gain a skill if that's possible.
In the distance, hovering above the encampment that was struck by Kurt's bolt, the Executor radiated his purplish energy outward and immediately vanquished the blood rain resulting from Kurt's attack earlier.
Despite the combination of might from Kurt and the five Enchanters, it was nothing for him.
Sweeping his gaze to the battlefield, he instantly had his eyes on Kurt.
Among the ancient Vampires clashing on the battlefield, Kurt stood out as the mightiest, and the Executor deduced that the attack must have come from him. Consequently, his gaze fixed upon Kurt, brimming with overwhelming killing intent.
No words came out of the Executor's mouth.
However, it was almost as if he was roaring in anger, everyone's ears started to ring fiercely.
His killing intent was so thick that Kurt's entire matter froze in place.
Scrutinizing the situation from the sidelines, Rex pivoted his body to face sideways and kept his unwavering focus locked onto the Executor. Obviously, he was watching every subtle action the Executor took, hoping for some kind of insight into his power.
But it didn't last long as his attention was drawn back to Kurt.
It was the wailing gasps that pulled his attention.
"Raarggh... Harrggh... Haakhh!" Kurt started to breathe heavily, he felt pain across his body.
While enduring the sudden and unexplained pain, Kurt raised his hand to examine it. To his shock, he witnessed the blood coursing through his veins—the life essence of the victims he had claimed—now moving in the opposite direction, surging uncontrollably and causing his power to spiral into a wild, uncontrollable frenzy.
Under the onlookers' terrified gazes, Kurt started to bleed profusely.
Every hole in his body started bleeding, and the pain he felt only climbed higher and higher.
His eyes, his nose, his ears, and his mouth were all bleeding.
Many that were unlucky enough to see this happening were absolutely horrified, Rex included as the Executor did nothing but lock his gaze onto Kurt which somehow managed to cause this kind of extreme reaction.
Just with a gaze, he was able to kill Kurt slowly and painfully.
System, is this a spell?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
