Chapter 1080 Ascension Achievement
Chapter 1080 Ascension Achievement
———
Since time immemorial, the Werewolf race has always revolved around anger.
It was their source of power, getting stronger and more berserk the angrier they became.
Each Supernatural race possesses its own perks as powerful living beings—drawing strength from their unique sources: the Undead have their dark magic, the Demons have their flames, the Vampires have blood element, and so it goes for every Supernatural race.
Every single one of these perks gave a natural advantage to the associated Supernatural.
An advantage that made them more exceptional than the rest.
For the Undead race, their deep masteries over spells made them very hard to kill, while the Demons' flames made them effective in battles. On the other hand, in hindsight, a Werewolf didn't stick out like the rest, nothing was exceptional about them.
Werewolves aren't exceptional in anything.
Magic-wise, they were at the bottom—and even strength-wise, they weren't the very best.
All Werewolves have going was their anger.
Many would even say that their unrestrained anger is a weakness, and that's quite logical.
Nevertheless, Werewolves stood as one of the high-rank Supernaturals.
However, there was a reason why Werewolves stood as one of the strongest Supernaturals.
Unlike the anger that was felt by others, it wasn't just a fleeting emotion for the Werewolves—it surged through them, transforming into a potent force that propelled them beyond their usual limits.
Also, it wasn't merely strength that surged forth from their anger.
It wasn't the most notable perk—the most remarkable perk it gave was to survive.
Similarly to other living beings, the anger the Werewolves felt hindered their minds, and even worse for them. But despite their berserk state—their strong senses were also stimulated by their own anger, making them even more alert.
Coupled with their naturally fast reflex and regeneration, Werewolves are good at surviving.
Werewolves heavily relied on that because their anger would keep on making them stronger—which made their perk for surviving a lethal combo for them. But Rex, due to the stress he had over this time forgot about that.
He was constantly worrying about the aftermath of his fight against the Executor.
Because of stress, he forgot to use his source of power.
...
Almost instantly, Rex could feel his body gradually becoming hotter—he let out his restrained anger. Giving his thanks for his lunar clone—and also Nadia for making him realize at the very last moment, his mind began to clear.
Rex could feel a soothing energy encompassing his body before his eyes flared open.
It was only then that he realized what had happened.
Opening his eyes, he was greeted by the sight of Evelyn and Calidora beside him.
Both of them were harnessing their Luna energy to help him recover from his wounds faster.
"What are the two of you doing here?" He asked in a heavy tone.
However, before the two could respond, Rex's gaze was drawn to the battlefield. Struggling to clear his vision, he blinked the haze away and marveled at the sight in front of him, such his own forces had managed to withstand the onslaught thus far.
Moreover, his eyes caught sight of a black flag adorned with a wolf emblem.
Even though he had never seen this flag before, he could somewhat feel a familiarity with it.
Just then, a few notifications appeared.
<A flag of Dargena City was nearing the user's vicinity!>
<Congratulations on fulfilling a hidden requirement of the Moony Castle of Lycaon!>
<Moon Flag skill has been unlocked!>
<Moon Flag>
Description: As long as the ruler of the Moony Castle of Lycaon was near the flag, all beings that are considered allies would gain a 10% stat boost and 25% for the flag bearer. Moreover—those who are under effect will also have their weapons infused with moonlight energy, an additional strength to their attacks.
Upon reading the notifications, Rex now knows that the flag was the flag of Dargena City.
He didn't even know that a flag existed, so it must've been new.
Additionally, the flag bearer was someone he knew.
Even though he was far, he could already tell that it was Ryze who was flying in the air.
Clad in his draconic form, covered in shimmering scales, he soared through the sky with the flag secured to his weapon of choice, a mighty hammer. Ryze repelled the incoming missiles and bullets with fiery breath, pressing forward with unwavering determination.
Below him were several armies hailing from different backgrounds.
Rex had his eyes opened wide at the sight of all allied Supernatural races coming to fight.
"I never told them to prepare their armies..." He uttered in shock.
Just then, Evelyn stepped forward while also looking at the battlefield with a big smile on her face, "We told them to prepare their armies for a potential battle. We didn't know that you are set on fighting alone, but it's good that we did that,"
"I already set it up so that all of you are safe, why did you have to come here?" Rex argued.
He deliberately kept the information of the fight away from the others.
Not only to his pack members but also to the other allied Supernatural nations.
Since the agreement stipulated their alliance for collective defense—meaning that they were only allies if one of them got attacked—it would be perfect if the pack stayed in Dargena city in case the Executor planned something for them.
But now, the pack dived into the danger of this horrendous battle.
"You can't be mad if it was not only us, but all of them also came here," Evelyn smirked.
Upon hearing this, Rex looked at her, wanting to say something back but couldn't.
Logically speaking, she was right, and he can't refute that.
"Don't undervalue yourself, Rex," Suddenly Adhara joined while still keeping her eyes locked—making sure no threat was coming towards them. "You don't know how important you are, not only for us but also for the entire alliance"
Glancing over her shoulder, she continued, "If you fall, we all fall, so don't fight alone,"
Inside her words were a profound hint.
Rex could tell that she was also conveying other things, but he couldn't decipher it for now.
"And you-" He turned to the other side where Calidora stood. "What makes you come here?"
"I already told you the reason," Calidora replied. "I'm also a Supernatural and wanted to see the Executor dead. Also, who knows, maybe you will find the need of me soon enough. I'm sure you haven't forgotten about it yet—it hasn't even been that long since the attack from the Lunirich Gods,"
Rex frowned, looking at her in confusion.
But seeing the meaningful look on Calidora's face, his eyes flickered in realization.
Knowing what she meant by that, he turned his gaze away.
Even though Calidora was telling it with confidence, her voice was a little bit shaky.
I had never seen her scared before, this was the first.
"So what's the plan? Are we going to try and kill the Executor right here?" Adhara asked.
Upon hearing this, Rex lifted his gaze and looked at the Executor who was now battling both Flunra and Kyran on the side. He was surprised to see both of them able to stall the Executor—but that made it clearer for Rex.
Both of them are using their anger, unlike me, so that's why they could do that.
Coughing blood, Rex firmed his decision.
"There's no 'we' killing the Executor," He said. "I'm the one who's going to kill the Executor"
Despite the others having unexpectedly come here, the plan hasn't changed—he would be the one who's going to kill the Executor as that is what the System wants. He would prove that he was the strongest right here and right now.
Swoosh!
Rex's lips curled into an unsettling smile as his body reverted back to his Werewolf form.
Just like earlier, he activated all of his powers—holding nothing back.
Crack!!
As his kingly energy intertwined with his other energies, the ground cracked and the white sphere in the sky began to react towards him again. However, this was not it as he decided to also let out his restrained anger.
He would utilize his biggest source of power right now.
Responding to his command, the air crackled with anticipation, charged with raw power.
Exhaling lightly, Rex closed his eyes and delved into his memories, summoning forth all of the ghosts of his past traumas. It was not hard to make himself angry, holding the anger back on the other hand was way harder.
Now that his aim was to let it all loose, it's going to be easy.
Clenching his jaw, muscles taut with tension, the fury within him ignited like a blazing inferno.
Kaboom!!!
Evelyn and Calidora stepped back to not get caught in the forceful energy.
As his anger intensified, so too did the kingly energy that coursed through him—spiraling an uncontrollable crescendo. His aura blazed with an incandescent light as the ground beneath him trembled, unable to withstand the overwhelming might he wielded.
Just as the limit of the world started to press down on him, a voice echoed in his mind.
'Can you hear me now, Royal Black Prince...?'
Countess?!
Rex was shocked when he heard the Countess' voice, but it was then that his eyes widened.
He already told her to do something, but the despair made him forget.
'The Executor has gotten the best of you earlier, make no mistake starting from now' warned the Countess as she has been calling for Rex all this while but he didn't respond. 'It's ready, I gathered enough energy to break the limiter,'
Do it now, I'm pouring everything right now!
Giving the signal to the Countess, Rex unleashes a primal roar as his aura soars to the sky.
His form unleashed red and black kingly energy rippling outward in all directions.
Rumble!!
"What's going on?! His energy is pushing back the suppression!" Adhara exclaimed in shock,
Similarly, Evelyn also has her mouth wide open at the sight of Rex's aura.
Ever since the First Breath happened, she had never felt this much pressure from Rex, and it was not done either—the pressure from his energies was still climbing. Something anywhere close to this display shouldn't be possible.
It shouldn't be possible during the First Breath, but Rex swatted that odds away.
On the other hand, Calidora looked at this and nodded.
She could tell that this was definitely the help from the Lunirich God inside of him.
"RRAARGGHH!!"
Rex's thunderous roar echoed in an astral manner and spread through the entire battlefield— even catching the Executor's attention amidst his fight. He looked back and couldn't help but frown, seeing Rex had already recovered.
Squinting his eyes, the Executor could also see traces of divine energy.
"A God-like entity is helping him, he's breaking the suppression," He mused inwardly.
Just like him, Rex seemed to have methods to break the limiter of the First Breath.
Kaboom!!
Swoosh!
Ended with a powerful shockwave, the Executor was the first one to gaze back at Rex.
As the echoes of his outburst faded into the ether—the Executor could see a figure standing tall amidst the wreckage, a beacon of raw power and indomitable will. Rex has closed the gap that existed between them earlier.
Now, he was nearing the Executor's realm, despite the Executor being in his Gladiator Form.
Something that the Executor found repulsive.
Swoosh!
Rex's King Mark was glowing ever brightly, sending a pulsating wave of kingly energy with each passing second. It made the hearts of those who caught the sight of him tremble, his demeanor experienced a drastic change. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Taking a step forward, the entire world shook.
Lifting his gaze up slowly, Rex breathed out red air as his vicious crimson eyes fixed ahead.
Fixed straight at the Executor.
Swoosh!
Out of nowhere, darkness spreads from his form and encompasses the entire battlefield.
It was his dome, the Night of the Full-Moon Dome—powered by the Banished Dark Moon.
Almost instantly, his dome turned the golden, cloudy day into night.
Snarling a low baritone growl that could strike fear in any who heard it—several notifications from the System appeared, acknowledging Rex's remarkable achievement. An achievement that was commendable.
<Congratulations on breaking the limiter with the help of the Countess of the Dark Lunirich!>
<Ascension from the mortal realm achievement has been completed!>
<Rewards for the achievement are pending until the System Relaying Bet Quest is finished>
