Chapter 1246: Desert Incident (1)
Not wasting a single second, knowing how dangerous the intense exposure of pure chaos energy could be, Rex instantly went all out, aiming to take care of these Chaos Spawns as fast as possible.
Like a formidable horseman, he charged ahead, mounting on Amberis.
Holding onto her, Rex could feel a fierce energy inside her body.
From Amberis' stat window earlier, she has the power of the storm—and considering that the energy within her feels familiar, Rex reckoned that she has the power of the Storm Moon—as much or even stronger than the Storm Prince.
Instinctively, Rex tried to use his moonlight energy and injected it into her body.
Swoosh!
Blitz!
Surprisingly, Amberis' pupils dilated as she instantly became much faster than before.
Her body crackled with lightning, heading straight to the Chaos Spawns.
Fulgurites were left behind as trails from Amberis' gallop.
Gazing ahead, Rex scanned all six of the Chaos Spawns and found the strongest of them all, located at the center. It has the power of an early ninth-rank realm, and that was much more dangerous than the one that attacked the hospital.
Moreover, it was the most disturbing appearance-wise.
As opposed to having a torso, this particular Chaos Spawn was only a levitating head.
Its head was comprised of purple bones, teeth, and hair, levitating with the power of chaos.
Aside from that, it was also the one firing chaos bullets earlier.
Covering the gap between them Amberis was able to bring Rex near to these Chaos Spawns in a mere half a minute. But as both of them neared the Chaos Spawns—the strongest of the Chaos Spawns didn't remain passive and unleashed another volley of chaos bullets.
Boom!
Boom!
Not even needing any help, Amberis throttled her body to dodge the incoming chaos bullets.
Despite the speed of the chaos bullets, she could dodge them easily.
Rex who didn't have to do anything observed her dodging the bullets casually, her movement was completely smooth and purposeful, avoiding the dangers with minimal effort. She's used to fighting, I can tell she had a lot of experience, I didn't even need to help her.
<The Eclipse Terrors: 1:21>
Just as he thought of that, he frowned at the sight of the notification.
Since his mastery was too low, the time limit was harsh.
Even though he sacrificed a lot of mutated scorpions earlier—the time limit for keeping both, Amberis and Nimborn was only three minutes. He didn't have too much time—so he decided to squat on Amberis' back, preparing to launch himself ahead.
"Aim for the two on the left, I'll deal with the two at the center," Rex commanded.
However, as he said that, a loud roar echoed.
Looking to the source of the roar, Rex saw another Chaos Spawn on the right, a massive and burly creature, with two abnormally large tusks, advancing forward. Its steps, shook the very ground itself, displaying its immense weight and force.
It advanced forward like a gorilla, and before long, it made one mighty leap.
Roar!
Gaining momentum from the fall, it slammed both of its fists into the earth powerfully.
Its move created a seismic wave that spread in a fan-sharped area—like a wave in the ocean but now, it's sand instead. In response, seeing the wave was nearing rapidly, Amberis leaped to avoid the shockwave.
Rex, while mid-air, noticed the Chaos Spawns were gathering around the strongest one.
An organized move, are they trying to protect it?
Not wanting to let that happen, Rex quickly charged both spirit energy, and lightning mana to his left hand and pointed ahead. Since Devo was now already awake, he could utilize his own lightning normally as it retained back its original strength.
Rumble!
Almost instantly, the clear sky became dark, covered with cumulonimbus clouds.
"Sky Rupture Assortment!"
Crack!
Blitz!
Hundreds of black lightning strikes descend from the clouds, striking down like the judgment of the Lightning God itself. Relentlessly, these powerful black lightning strikes bombarded all of the Chaos Spawn equally.
Since some of them are merely in the eighth-rank realm, they would certainly die from this.
But as the barrage continued, Rex frowned at a peculiar sight.
As opposed to attempting to dodge his spell—the Chaos Spawns, stood their ground instead as their forms began to ooze purple smoke. Despite being bombarded, relentlessly—Rex saw that they were not disturbed by his spell at all.
How in the world...?
Not even a ninth-rank realm Awakened could come out of his lightning spell unscathed.
It confuses him to see that his spell is not working.
Upon taking a closer look—however, Rex saw that his black lighting strike did not manage to reach them—the purple smoke blocked them instead. Saying that the black lightning strikes, were blocked was not right either.
Rex could see that when his black lighting strike struck, its energy was nullified instead.
Both spirit energy and lightning mana were absorbed and dispersed instantly.
No resounding impact was made as the black lightning strikes were nullified.
Lightning spell doesn't work on them? What about the others? I need to get close.
As Rex prepared to leap down, and strike the strongest one—and test out some of his other spells, the burly Chaos Spawn's attack didn't end with the seismic shockwave. Swirling, and intertwining purple tentacles shot towards them from below.
Seeing this, Amberis instantly reacted.
Swoosh!
Out of nowhere, her body exerted silver clouds, shrouding them in mist.
Making a sharp spin to the side, she easily dodged the tentacles that were aimless without the sight of both Rex, and Amberis within the silver clouds. But as they emerged out of the silver cloud, they were greeted by chaos bullets waiting for them on the other side.
Rex's eyes narrowed in determination.
He quickly manifests a barrier made with a mixture of his lightning, lunar, and water elements wanting to test out things, in his mind. As the bullets crashed against the barrier—both of his eyes widened when the chaos bullets phased through the barrier.
Like earlier, the dense mana comprising the barrier was nullified.
Multiple bullets struck his chest, scorching his flesh.
Boom!
Boom!
Despite his extremely durable body—enhanced far beyond that of ordinary creatures, as he was in a league of his own, he found himself unable to withstand the pure chaos energy. He was pushed off of Amberis' back, groaning in pain.
As he plummeted, Rex looked at his chest and found that his flesh was burnt.
It was also hardly regenerating, which was quite a surprise.
Not giving him any time to rest and recover, the strongest Chaos Spawn with the help of the other Chaos Spawns opened its mouth and manifested one massive chaos bullet and fired it towards Rex.
Gritting his teeth, Rex used his red force and punched the air, propelling him to the left.
Even in mid-air, he could still dodge an attack that was normally unable to be dodged.
However, he clicked his tongue in displeasure seeing the chaos bullet turned, changing its direction to where Rex propelled himself, exactly like a homing missile. I can't block it with mana, I should use my moonlight energy, but what if it could be nullified too?
Just as he was deciding what to do in that split moment, Rex's eyes were pulled to the side.
A moving silhouette was caught in his periphery.
It was Nimborn who was catching up to them from behind and for some weird reason, Rex was inclined to reach out his hand. Instantly, Nimborn exploded into silver smoke, heeding Rex's call, and swiftly shot towards him.
Rex watched as the silver smoke rushed to him and enveloped his left arm.
He needs to put strength into his left arm to steady it as this process continues.
Confused, Rex observed the process until his eyes widened when an intricate silver shield— laden with a roaring wolf head design at the center appeared—its straps firmly securing it to his arm.
So you're the support one, these two terrors are interesting.
Recalling that it was Nimborn who had blocked the initial chaos bullets, Rex reckoned that he had the supporting cast amongst the two. Not hesitating to use the shield, Rex put the shield in front of him right before the massive chaos bullet hit.
Kaboom!
A loud explosion resounded, and splashes of purple energy adorned the sky.
It obscured Rex's form from everyone's vision.
Crack!
Blitz!
In that moment, two black lightning strikes, descended from above in an instant—one hitting something within the splash of purple energy—and the other striking Amberis causing her to vanish from her spot.
As the purple energy receded, the Chaos Spawns also couldn't find Rex.
Upon seeing this, they looked around in confusion.
Just a second later, however, the two black lightning strikes returned.
One lightning strike landed, right in front of the strongest Chaos Spawn—and Rex suddenly appeared there—while the other landed on the other side, right at the center of a couple of Chaos Spawns before Amberis appeared.
It was his Ether Blink spell, closing the distance between them easily.
Even though the Chaos Spawns couldn't be affected by mana, Rex has other ways to use his mana to use other than for attacking. All of the Chaos Spawns were startled for a second but they instantly attacked Rex and Amberis again.
However, now that they were close, the Chaos Spawns had no chance.
Rex cracked a smile as he raised his claws.
Heeding his command, Nimborn shifted from being a shield to claw armor.
<Strength stat has been increased by 200,000 points!>
<Nimborn's Edge has been bestowed on the user, increasing penetration power by 2 times!>
Under Nimborn's help, his claws instantly sharpened, but Rex didn't stop there.
Swoosh!
He also cast his Unholy Claws of the Reaper skill—igniting his claws with a mixture of origin, and moonlight flame. Before the Chaos Spawns could reach him, Rex made a circling motion happening in the blink of an eye.
All of the Chaos Spawns, growling and poised to strike, suddenly halted.
Now, the burning energy on Rex's claws had already faded.
As Rex straightened his back, a horizontal slice of silver energy became visible on the Chaos Spawns' bodies, including the strongest one, before they got split in half and fell to the earth with collective heavy thuds.
<Chaos Spawns eliminated: 4/6>
"I only need to get near them and they are done," Rex mused, sweeping his gaze at them.
Since these Chaos Spawns relied solely on their pure chaos energy—their doom was sealed the moment Rex got in range to attack. He could kill them instantly at such proximity. On the side, Rex saw Amberis taking care of the other Chaos Spawns, including the burly one.
She bite their heads off and began to tear them to shreds, clawing off chunks of flesh.
In a matter of moments, the Chaos Spawns were all defeated.
<Chaos Spawns eliminated: 6/6>
<Sudden Quest completed!>
<Obtained 2x Minor Chaos Embryos and Chaos Rune Fragment>
<Congratulations, the user has reached level 93!>
<The Eclipse Terrors' time limit has been reached!>
<The Silver Deity Penitentiary has recalled the Eclipse Terrors back to their prison!>
Upon reading these notifications, Rex looked over to the side, and found Amberis turning into silver smoke and was blown away by the wind. Liewise, Nimborn on his arm also experiences the same thing.
"My gratitude for your help" Rex muttered as their energies vanished.
As the two of them disappeared, Rex turned his gaze ahead at the Chaos Phantom.
He still needs to close that portal before more Chaos Spawns come out.
Rex was forced to groan as he looked down.
He saw the wound on his chest from the chaos bullets earlier was still bleeding.
"It's quite potent, huh..." He mused and stood still—closing his eyes, and focusing his energy on the wound, until it eventually closed. It required concentration to heal—but thankfully, the wound was not permanent.
Opening his eyes again, he approached the Chaos Phantom.
Even though he needed to close it, he wanted to inspect it first before closing it.
As he neared, his ears perked up and he tilted his head to the side at the sound of a series of painful screams in the distance. Rex squinted—seeing smoke on the far horizon, "It should be the tribe of Desert Orcs, there were more Chaos Spawns than the six I killed"
Realizing this, Rex deliberated for a moment.
But eventually, he decided to help them before closing the Chaos Phantom.
