BXBX NOVEL Chapter 131 Puny Trick
From looking at the map, Rex sighs helplessly.
The location of the fire serpent is inside the vampire's territory, it's not too deep inside the vampire territory but it's still their territory.
Going there right now is a suicide,
With Rex's current power, he can barely compare with a normal Werewolf.
Vampire and Werewolf have almost the same power, the only difference is that all vampires can use blood magic while only a couple of Werewolves can use Moonlight Magic.
Both of their normal peers are a rank five powerhouse, they're just too strong.
'Thankfully this quest doesn't have a time limit', Rex thought with a sigh, he can't imagine going there with only the help of Adhara and Kyran.
Because of this quest, Rex becomes even more determined to get a strong member.
He wanted to increase more of his pack members but he can only do it one at a time, 'I got the slave kid, and there's also Edward', Rex thought.
From the moment the system forces him to add a member, Edward crosses his mind.
Edward's power becomes drastically strong after the Ghoul's Den event, Rex didn't get surprised when he found out Edward becomes a rank four.
If Rex who is a normal human before can enter Ochyra University's top class, Rex can't imagine what Edward got from the UWO as a reward.
Just from experience, Rex didn't doubt Edward's power.
His hand-to-hand combat can't be compared with just anyone, he will become a very powerful member of Silverstar Pack.
But the thing is, Rex can't bring himself to talk about it with Edward.
The only friend Rex has left is Edward, he didn't have many friends in general so Rex treasured Edward's friendship.
'Let's just think about this later', Rex thought.
Rex is currently already in a car with Kyran and Adhara, they all got a lift by the citizen of Wedron City.
Adhara is already asleep while Kyran is silent in the front.
The driver is sweating, Rex notices this before he said, "Don't be nervous sir, treat us just like any other normal person"
Rex starting to notice how the normal people act in front of him.
They're all meek and really downgrading themselves, many Wedron City's citizens almost prostrate in front of Rex and the others during the small party before.
Rex immediately stopped them, he felt weird for them to do that.
"Ah yes sir, It's just rare for me to meet an Awakened like you", the driver said honestly.
p
The driver laughs awkwardly, he doesn't reply to Rex's question.
"Just say it, I won't tell anyone", Rex added, he saw a glimpse of fear in the driver's expression as the words got stuck in his mouth.
The driver looks at Rex through the rear-view mirror repeatedly, he wanted to make sure if Rex is being serious right now.
After confirming Rex is being serious,
The driver said, "Well sir Rex, it's just that the Awakened that came before you is not as good as you. Just like the Awakened you killed-"
Before the driver continues, Rex intervene, "The Awakened I killed is not to be spoken of"
Hearing Rex's serious tone, the driver flinches before he apologizes to Rex.
"Continue", Rex said.
"Just like the other Awakened that help us before, many of them are selfish and treated us like garbage. Only the black hand is kind to us, we felt more assured with the black hand rather than the Awakened", the driver explained.
Rex is immediately in thought, 'Are many other Awakened behave like that?'
When he first enters Ochyra University, Rex got a glimpse of how an Awakened treated normal human but for the driver to say many of them is still a surprise for Rex.
The driver then continues to tell the way other Awakened treat them.
Rex becomes even more surprised by the second, it's totally blown Rex's mind to think that all of this is real.
Kyran also confirms Rex that it is indeed true.
Rex was forced to believe it whether Rex like it or not, even Kyran confirmed it.
The drive was filled with stories from both the driver and Kyran, Rex hears all of this attentively feeling the unjust treatment from the Awakened.
Not long, they can already saw the train track.
They're already near the train station, they will go straight back home after this.
Adhara already woke up from her sleep, they already started to prepare their stuff because they almost arrive at the train station.
But then, "Stop!"
Kyran told the driver to stop suddenly, the driver immediately steps on the break.
The car makes a screeching sound before it stopped, the driver looks at Kyran in confusion because he doesn't see anything around except for abandoned buildings and cars.
Kyran glance at Rex as he looks at Rex with a meaningful look.
Both Rex and Adhara immediately understand what Kyran means, this is the signal Kyran uses just like when he senses the Orc Scout before.
"Sir, please go out of the car and go hide under the car", Adhara said to the driver.
Hearing this, the driver's face went pale before he immediately goes out and hides under the car.
TAP!
TAP!
TAP!
Rex, Adhara, and Kyran go out of the car as they slam the car's door, they look at the surroundings warily.
"How many?", Rex said while he looks around.
He can feel a presence on the surrounding abandoned buildings but he didn't quite know how many are there, which is why he asks Kyran.
Kyran closes his eyes before he mutters, "Six, all of them are Awakened"
Hearing this, 'Is it the Platchi's? They must be, I don't have any enemy besides the Platchi's', Rex thought.
Rex remembers he mocked Kevin before but he doubts Kevin will go such length to pay back for what Rex did, it's just too much if he did this.
Then suddenly, a man appeared at the entrance of an abandoned building to Rex's left.
The man is wearing a black tee with black cargo pants, there is a shotgun resting on his shoulder. A brown cloak covers his body as a malicious grin plastered on his face while looking at Rex's group.
"Howdy there, why are you all so on guard", the man said teasingly.
Rex also grins back, "Of course, seeing a man holding a shotgun with five other people hiding around us will put even the most relaxed man alert"
The man widened his eyes for a glimpse second before he walks forward.
Five other guys appeared out of nowhere surrounding Rex's group, they're all dress the same as the man in front of Rex right now.
He plays with his shotgun in his hands as he walks towards Rex and the others, "You're quite sharp, I'm quite surprised"
Without answering the man's question, "What do you want?", Rex asks.
Rex already scans all of them and the strongest is the man in front of him holding a shotgun, he's a mid-rank four while the other is early-rank four.
From the way, the man's dress.
Rex deduces that this man is a hired mercenary by the Platchi's to kill him, it's a little bit obvious because of the tattoo on the man's neck.
The tattoo is a dropping gold coin, it's the trait for a mercenary group wanted by the FAA.
"What I want? Of course its your life", the man said with a nasty grin on his face, he looks psychopathic while holding a shotgun.
Then suddenly, Adhara dashes towards the man.
She appears behind the man as her fists glow with purple fire, she wanted to kill the man instantly but then.
BAM!
Without even turning around, the man shot Adhara leisurely.
The bullet glows with a green chaotic hue as it sent Adhara crashing away, she got hit directly on her stomach.
'How did he do that?', Rex thought in surprise.
The man shot Adhara without even looking, it looks unnatural as if the man has an eye on his back that can see Adhara's exact location.
"Well, do you want me to kill you with force or will you offer your life yourself", the man teased.
Hearing the man, Rex scans his surrounding.
He then dashes towards a guy on his right but the same thing happens,
BAM!
Rex got shot right on his chest, the guys shoot him without even seeing him. The same thing happened just like when Adhara tried.
The guy glance at Rex mockingly, they seem to want to play around with Rex.
He then dashes back to Kyran's side,
Then Kyran approaches him, "I can feel something watching us aside from these guys,", he whispers to Rex.
Rex nodded his head, he also senses it too.
"Boss, why do they want to kill a kid? He's not even good aside from his sharp sense", a guy said with a chuckle, they're underestimating Rex.
The man with a shotgun also laughs, "Bunch of fools, they can't even deal with a kid"
Adhara got back from the back, the injury from the shotgun before is almost healed in just a few seconds.
Her regenerative abilities got stronger after becoming a full-fledged Werewolf.
Seeing Adhara came out unscathed, the man with a shotgun widened his eyes in surprise.
The shot he gave Adhara before is imbued with his element, it is supposed to injure Adhara greatly but seeing Adhara is totally fine makes him become cautious.
"Rex, it seems the bullet is not that powerful", Adhara joked.
Aside from the stronger regenerative abilities, her body and bones also got stronger making her far more durable than ordinary Awakened.
Hearing Adhara, a creepy smile appeared on Rex's face.
He then laughs loudly making the mercenary glared at him, "You really thought you can kill me with this line-up? Oh please"
SWOOSH!!
Rex activates his Flash spell disappearing from sight.
Because of his breakthrough to rank four power, his Black Lightning becomes even more powerful.
His spell becomes even more powerful because of that, his Flash spell didn't only make him faster but turns him into a spark of black lightning.
The mercenary can't even reach Rex's speed before he suddenly appeared behind a guy on his right.
The guy didn't notice anything before a hand gripped his neck.
Rex already gripped the guy's neck before he lifts him from the ground, it was light work for him to approach this guy.
The other mercenary finally notices Rex gripping the guy's neck.
They all widened their eyes as they steps back unconsciously, Rex's speed really surprised them.
"So what if you can see your backs, I'll just forcefully break through all of your puny tricks", Rex said brutally as he crushed the guy's neck.
CRACK!!
They all didn't believe what just happened, it was so fast!
"Kyran, Adhara, Let's teach these guys a lesson", Rex said with a grin.
Adhara and Kyran also smile mockingly making the mercenaries pale in fright, 'What with these kids!'
