Chapter 188 Trench Predator Scavengers
"Black Lightning Magic, Sky Rupture!!"
CRACK!!
BOOM!!
Rex summons a thick lightning bolt from the sky as it strikes down the Great Tree.
The Lightning Strike is so big that even the Great Tree got completely engulfed by it, this scene can be seen from miles away.
Right in front of Elder Sylvar's eyes, the Great Tree got zapped.
Because he becomes one with the Great Tree, Rex's spell also hurt him badly.
"ARRGHH!!", He shouted in pain.
If he didn't become one with the Great Tree then he will probably manage to tank Rex's strike, but now that the Great Tree is dying it also affects Elder Sylvar.
Rumble!
All that is left of the Great Tree is a black charcoal tree,
<Burn the Great Tree of the Elf 1/1>
Rex got the notification from the system before he nodded his head,
This Great Tree is a young one just like what the Elders said, it can't sustain the attack of a rank five like Rex.
"Huakhh!", Elder Sylvar spat a mouthful of blood.
His right hand got charred as it turns black, he cannot move his right arm and the lightning mana infiltrate his body hurting his internal organs.
Rex walks closer to Elder Sylvar, it all went smoothly.
Before the fight began, Rex already asks the system all about Elves.
The system said that a Great Tree where Elves lived is a special tree that can attract Nature and Wood mana, and it also can be absorbed by Elves.
This is where Rex knows about Elder Sylvar's last attempt,
Rex knows from the system the best time to cancel this mana absorption is by destroying the tree right after the ritual started, and Rex did just that.
Now, Elder Sylvar got no mana left and his power is weakened.
Killing him now will be as easy as killing chickens, completely weak and defenseless.
Elder Sylvar raised eyes to meet Rex's, his pride and dignity as an Elf is gone as he said, "Please, just spare m-"
Before he can finish,
STAB!
Rex pierced Elder Sylvar's chest with his claws,
Elder Sylvar stutters in shock, a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth as he looks down to only find Rex's claw pierced his chest.
He sent one last look of confusion to Rex before he fall to the ground dead.
<Killed a mid-rank 6 Supernatural, Obtained 5,000,000 Exp>
<Killed High Elves 4/5>
After killing Elder Sylvar, Rex's eyes falls to the last struggling Elder that is trying to get away.
His body moves as he punches the air sending a Force Beam towards the last Elder, without any kind of resistance the Force Beam pierced the last Elder's chest and killed him.
<Killed an early rank six Supernatural, Obtained 3,000,000 Exp>
<Level up!>
<Obtained 3 Attributable Stats>
<Killed High Elves 5/5>
Rex nodded his head after finally reaching level 30, but then a series of notifications appeared again in front of him.
<The user has reached level 30! The evolution process will begin!>
<Berserk Quest detected!>
<The Evolution Process will be delayed, the user can pick the time to Evolve>
Looking at this, Rex can't help but smile.
The Evolution Process he will undergo will definitely give him a good upgrade, and he can't wait to do it feeling curious about the next Evolution.
With that, Rex finished killing the high Elves of this place.
Sniff Sniff...
Rex sniff the surrounding before he disappeared from his spot, the quest has not finished yet and he intend to finish it.
SWOOSH!
Rex dashes left and right,
His enhanced smelling can locate all of the running normal Elves, no matter where they hide, Rex will find them eventually.
"ARGHH!!"
"PLEASE DON'T!"
SLASH!!
Rex makes light work of the normal Elves,
Many of the normal Elves are already far away but they still got track down by Rex, and most of them like to hide on a tree.
In just twenty minutes, Rex already killed one hundred Elves completing his berserk quest.
<Berserk Quest Completed!>
<Obtained 20,000,000 Exp, 20,000 Gold, 10 Skill Upgrade, 10x Minogame Shell, and Invincible>
Reading this, Rex nodded his head.
'Every time I get a berserk quest, it brings me many benefits. Should I get angry often?', It is evident that every time he got this kind of quest he will get many rewards.
And he's started to think that getting the Berserk Quest is not a bad thing.
In fact, he may try to be angry often to spark this Berserk Quest, but he quickly shakes his head, 'If I get a troublesome quest, I will be fucked', Rex thought.
'The system said that it will bring tremendous penalty if not completed, so it will be better to use this Berserk Quest carefully'
After that, Rex's body suddenly makes a cracking sound.
With the Berserk Quest ended, his transformation also ended turning him to normal.
Rex clench his fist feeling good that he got back to his human body, but he still likes the feeling of overwhelming power his Werewolf form has.
He then dashes to another tree, he will be going back to check on Liliya who he left.
'Now that I think about it, that's my mistake leaving Liliya there', Rex thought, he's afraid that she will be attacked while unconscious.
Just after he landed on the tree trunk, he suddenly hears a whimper on his right.
Rex looks to his right and found a hole,
He creeps closer towards the hole before he slashes the tree revealing three Elves hiding in it, they look like a family because there is a baby on their hands.
"Hyaahh!"
The male Elf picks up a sword that is glowing with green energy, he swings it to Rex repeatedly.
Looking at the Elf's movement, Rex instantly knows that he's not a fighter.
His movements are sluggish like a kid swinging a stick, Rex dodges it easily before he kicks the Elf right on his gut.
"Akhh!!", The Elf got pushed back and fall beside the female Elf and her baby.
These Elves don't know that Rex is the Werewolf before, if they did then they will instantly fall into the depth of fear.
Rex walks closer to the Elves before he stopped in front of them,
The male Elf puts his body in front of the female and the baby to protect them, and he gritted his teeth as Rex raised his hand.
While looking at this, Rex smiles seeing the male Elf's resolute look.
He didn't even faze in front of Rex knowing that Rex is stronger than him, 'Civilians huh, I guess they're not that different after all'
After that, Rex's body turns into a blur as he left the place.
The Elves were shocked seeing this, they didn't imagine that a human will spare them.
But nevertheless, the male Elf shed tears of joy knowing his family is safe.
He hugs his wife and the baby that is in his wife's arms, He's glad that despite their home is raze they are still given mercy by God.
Meanwhile,
"What happened here...", a woman said while looking at the scene in front of her.
The scene in front of her makes her mouth gape, the traces of a fearsome battle can be seen left and right especially the charred Great Tree.
Then, a guy replied, "I don't know, but I can feel the leftover lightning mana in this place"
A group of five humans came to where Rex fought his battle against the Elders, they are wearing navy blue battle uniforms with a guild crest on their chest.
The guild crest is in the shape of a shark, they are members of a guild.
If Rex was here, he will instantly recognize a woman that is brought by this group of humans.
One of them carries Liliya on their back, it seems they met Liliya who is unconscious on their way towards here.
The leader of the group is a woman with blue eyes, she has the typical blond hair of a caucasian and a fit body befitting of a Scavenger.
In the Supernatural Territory, endurance is everything.
Many of the Scavengers will often meet Supernatural or even mutated beasts that they can't handle, and they need to run away from it.
And there's also no guarantee that after they lost them, nothing will chase after them again.
Reality proves that after they manage to run from a creature, they will be chased by another powerful creature making endurance the key for survival.
"This place should be Thyssys, a place made by the Elves 3 years ago", the leader explained.
Then, another guy said in awe, "Leader Vanessa, who could've done something like this, are the Supernatural fighting amongst themselves?"
Hearing this, the leader, Vanessa knitted her eyes,
She saw the High Elves corpse that has claw marks on them, 'These are not humans doing, but which race has lightning-based powers and claws'
But just when she's thinking, "Who are you guys?"
The group of humans instantly went into battle formation right after they heard this, their movements are coordinated showing their years of experience.
"Woah, Calm down"
Vanessa looks up and saw Rex standing on a tree trunk,
Looking at Rex's appearance, she then said, "We're the Scavengers from the Trench Predator guild, Who am I speaking to?"
'Trench Predator, rank 15 guild with a powerful Water Elementalist at their disposal', Rex thought.
"I'm a lone Scavenger, What are you guys doing here?", Rex replied calmly.
Although Rex is not holding any weapons or giving off a hostile aura, Vanessa and her group are still alert about him.
Vanessa then said, "We will be mapping Lightless Mash and Progan Swamp, Please be on your journey, we don't seek any more members"
Hearing this, Rex chuckles lightly.
The group of humans becomes even more alert, 'Looks like they have a bad experience with Scavengers, I don't blame them though'
"I will be on my way if you give her back to me", Rex said while pointing at Liliya.
Vanessa looks at Liliya before she looks back at Rex, "Nice try, but you just said that you are a lone Scavenger"
The Trench Predator group looks at Rex with a condemning look.
They are looking at Rex as if he's a low-life, and this makes Rex confused, 'Why are they looking at me like that?', he thought.
Rex looks at Liliya who is unconscious before he suddenly realized it.
"I'm not that kind of guy! She's my friend!", Rex shouted helplessly, he got confused as an asshole by the group.
Vanessa scoffs, "As I would believe that, get him!"
She signals to the others to take Rex down but Rex hurriedly intervenes, "Fine! Just wait for her to wake up and she will tell you the truth"
Hearing this, Vanessa raised her hand to stop the others, "We'll do that then"
After making the deal with the Trench Predator Group, Rex lays on the ground away from the group before he closes his eyes tiredly.
It is already early morning, and he's tired physically and mentally.
Most of his injuries are already healed, only the big ones like his back and arms are still regenerating.
The Trench Predator group is making a fire to make food,
Vanessa, on the other hand, is keeping an eye on Rex, her eyes have never left Rex even after Rex lies on the ground to rest.
10 minutes passed,
Rex opened his eyes when he felt someone approached him,
He saw a guy walking towards him with meat in his hand, "Are you hungry? We have some for you", he said with a smile.
Seeing this, Rex politely accepts the meat.
The guy then sits down beside Rex and said, "Our leader doesn't trust you"
Rex glance at Vanessa and saw that she is glaring at him, "Yeah right, as if I didn't know about that already"
The guy chuckles lightly, he then said, "I'm Simon, What is your name?"
"Rex", Rex answered.
After introducing himself, Simon then asks, "Do you know what happened here? I assume you're here knowing that your friend is lying unconscious not far from here"
"If you're wondering who killed the Elves, it was me", Rex said nonchalantly.
Hearing this, the guy laughs thinking that Rex is joking but soon he found out that Rex is not joking with his statements before.
"You...You killed them all?", he said in surprise.
He then added, "Then why is your friend unconscious there?"
"We got ambushed by Elves, they knocked Liliya there out so I decided to kill them all", Rex lied, it will be weird if he tell Simon he knocked Liliya out himself to help her.
Simon looks at Rex in disbelief before he said, "Are you for real?"
Rex nodded his head, he didn't think much about it because he's tired.
After getting this information, Simon stands up and runs back to Vanessa before he told her about what Rex told him.
Hearing this, Vanessa approach Rex before she said, "Killing hundreds of Elves alone? Like I would believe someone like you can do that"
"It's up to you to believe it or not", Rex said while chewing the meat.
But just when Vanessa wanted to rebut, she suddenly said, "You're nose, are you sure you're okay?"
Rex touch his nose in reflex and saw that there's blood on it,
He frowns because it's weird for him to get a nose bleed aside from getting punched, and he didn't feel any kind of pain in his body.
'Is this the effect of the Violet Moon?', Rex thought but he felt uneasy about this.
