Chapter 914 Devil Of Trauma
Huvuki and the others were startled by Adhara's appearance.
It's already bad enough that they were using the Silverstar Pack to shelter themselves from the Rastrikan Demons' rampage, and now they are doubting Rex's power. Even if it's only a little, this is not something to be taken lightly, especially by Adhara.
Just her sight alone made the three stiffened.
"Forgive my captains, they were simply being careful" Huvuki defended.
Obviously, the three of them have mistaken Adhara's stoic, indifferent expression with anger.
In truth, she was not that angry, their conversations just soiled her ears, annoying at best.
"Explain it to me, what were you talking about?" She asked.
Not having any other choice, Huvuki could only comply with her demand.
"Despite eradicating the Rastrikan Demons has been going smoothly, it would be better to take a brief break to rest before continuing. We don't want Lord Rex to overexert himself, and you must not want it too" He explained clearly, trying his best to convey the suggestion as politely as possible.
Upon hearing this, Adhara smiled instead.
Although that kind of thing wouldn't happen, it's natural for them to worry about that.
Looking over to Rex who was still trapped in a vicious fight, leaping through great distances and creating sparks in the sky, she replied, "I think the three of you forgot something. Despite being anomalies, we are still essentially, Werewolves. Our power rises the angrier we got..."
"Coincidentally, Lord Rex is in a very bad mood" She added with a meaningful tone.
Knowing that something must've happened back in the city, Adhara believed that he would be fine. His anger that was produced by the incident in the city would definitely help him, constantly fueling him to keep on going.
If Rex was to hear this, he would say that she's more or less, right.
Fatigueness is present, but it doesn't last long.
Having fought Demons on multiple occasions already, Rex is already used to fighting them.
Demons are nigh-perfect entities designed solely for war and spreading terror, and thus, their physique is inherently stronger. Moreover, they do not possess blood like normal living beings, rendering the option of weakening through blood loss unavailable for them.
Vampires and other has a difficult time fighting them because of this.
Even though one of their limbs or even more was severed, Demons would keep on going, and their battle prowess was not impacted much. However, the Rastrikan Demons are one of the few Demons who have blood coursing inside of them, devoured from their victims.
Due to that, the Red Frenzy skill that Rex has made his stamina endless.
Fatigue was present, but got recovered almost instantly. Only mental fatigue remains behind.
So long as blood is flowing, his tank wouldn't be empty.
Huvuki and the two Dwarf Captains still have doubts in their minds, knowing that Adhara is completely biased toward Lord Rex. But in the end, the three nodded their heads in understanding, none of them had much to say to influence this decision.
It was the Silverstar Pack that was helping them, so they must effectively comply with them.
Swoosh!
"Canonade of Hellfire Fiend!"
Pointing both of his hands forward, Demon Lord Olgaroz fired a barrage of hellfire balls.
Along their daunting path, these hellfire halls quickly morphed themselves into a fiend-like ball creature, cackling and laughing as they swiftly descended, heading toward Rex who was standing unwaveringly on the ground.
Moving to the side, he tries to dodge these hellfire balls.
However, the hellfire balls pursued him like seeking missiles, impossible to shake off.
Rex attempted to increase his speed, but the hellfire balls gradually accelerated the longer they soared through the air, closing the distance rapidly. Inevitably, they struck him, resulting in devastating explosions that shook the ground.
Flapping his wings on the sky, Demon Lord Olagroz gazed at the smoke with a frown.
Managing to land an attack on his enemy, thoughts raced through his mind as he contemplated his options. 'Should I flee...? He's undeniably powerful, having even dispatched Ranath' He gritted his teeth, furious about this situation. 'No... I would not let Kirgil have the satisfaction, I must vanquish this damn beast!'
Devoured by pride, Demon Lord Olgaroz decided to take care of this himself.
Rather than regrouping with the other legions and informing them of Rex and the Dwarven Army's relentless attacks, picking them off one by one, Demon Lord Olgaroz insisted on taking matters into his own hands to put an end to this assault.
If he sought help, Demon Lord Kirgil would have a field day mocking him.
Even the thought of it alone doesn't sit well with him, so he would not do that no matter what.
Soon enough, the smoke waned and Rex came into view again.
However, weirdly enough, instead of facing Demon Lord Olgaroz, he was looking at the far horizon in the opposite direction. The frown on his face shows that he sensed something, but that frown quickly turned brutal in the next second.
Out of nowhere, his breathing becomes heavy, slight panting.
Like a swarm of ants, his red and black kingly energy started to spread out of his body.
Gritting his teeth, Rex glared at the distant horizon and unleashed a howling roar.
"EDWARD!!"
Upon hearing this powerful roar reverberated to the surroundings, Adhara gasped, startled by this roar, and turned her head around. It was then she saw Rex, glaring in a direction with his eyes glowing white.
It made her frown as she had never seen Rex's eyes glow white before.
But she soon shakes her head realizing that there was an even more important matter, 'Edward...? Why is he saying that name? Is Edward somewhere around here?!' She exclaimed, scouting his attention to the surroundings.
No clues of Edward can be seen, and this puzzled her.
On the other hand, seeing the changes, Demon Lord Olgaroz could feel his body reacting.
'Something is wrong with him...'
His instincts that permeate through his tensed body are telling him to fly higher, and he trusts his instincts enough to act upon them, soaring higher into the night sky. But the second he did that, he saw claws reaching for his face.
Since he was higher, the claws weren't able to reach him.
If he had been less than a second left, his face would've been torn by the claws.
Swoosh!
Realizing that he wasn't able to reach Demon Lord Olgaroz, Rex's furious eyes flashed before he used his lightning element to enhance his momentum, propelling him higher. A decisive act that happened in less than a second.
In response to this, Demon Lord Olgaroz garnered his demonic energies into his hands again.
Not the normal demonic energy too, it was Hell-Void energy.
"Futile! It's all futile! You can't reach me!" Demon Lord Olgaroz exclaimed, laughing frantically at Rex's attempt to reach him. "I'll engulf you in flames," the Hell-Void energy gleams brighter as he prepares to unleash a devastating beam, "and ensure your very soul burns painfully in purgatory!"
But as he said that, his eyes dilated seeing a glistening of a sharp object.
Swish!
Stab!
During that moment of Demon Lord Olgaroz flaunting, Rex hurled the Silver Eye, striking him squarely in his right wing. Swiftly following through, Rex propelled himself forward and landed a powerful punch on the face, shattering Demon Lord Olgaroz's nose.
It disoriented him for a moment, and when he recovered, he quickly fired the beat at Rex.
However, it didn't go as planned.
Rex gripped the blasting beam with his bare hand, stopping its strong momentum.
Smiling wickedly, he then crushed the beam with his claws easily.
Kaboom!
Fueled by the anger inside of him that made his entire body heat up and also his energies rampant, Rex got stronger to the point that he was able to easily crush Demon Lord Olgraoz's attack as if it were nothing.
Groaning in pain, Demon Lord Olgaroz recovered and saw Rex already holding his wing.
Putting on a brutal smile, he then whispered, "Got you..."
Splash!
Growl!
Brutally, Rex tore Demon Lord Olgaroz's right-wing clean off and threw it to the side.
Embers of fire mixed with blood could be seen splashing out of the wound, as the scream of pain that came out of Demon Lord Olgaroz's was akin to a beautiful requiem that was pleasant to Rex's ears.
With one swift motion, he grabbed another wing and threw Demon Lord Olgaroz to the ground.
Crash!
Upon impact, a vast crater was created.
Many of the remaining Rastrikan Demons who were already on the brink of defeat saw this and realized that their end was already fixed, it was the wrong move to barbarically go on a campaign of rampage in the new era.
If they had known that this would be the end, they would've adapted first before attacking.
"Kahhkk!" Demon Lord Olgaroz spat a mouthful of blood.
But it was then Rex landed right before him, towering like a Demi-God that had come here to bring death's decree. Feeling the climbing dread, Demon Lord Olgaroz retaliated yet his attacks were swatted away easily.
Realizing that he had no chance, he opened his mouth and bared his sharp fangs.
Deciding that he wouldn't go down without a fight, he puts everything he has, burning the inside of his mouth with violent flames. However, Rex wasn't going to stand idle and let him charge up for his attack.
Giving no chance whatsoever, he grabbed Demon Lord Olgaroz's jaw in a tight grip.
In the next second, he crushed it completely.
Crack!
A bony sound resounded as he completely crushed Demon Lord Olgaroz's jaw and ripped it from his face. The mandible made a crunching sound as it shattered into pieces, leaving the once fearsome Demon completely helpless.
Such a sight was disturbing even for veteran Dwarves.
What makes it more terrifying is the fact that Rex did this without any hesitation.
Bloodshed and gore are already normal for him to the point that doing such atrocity doesn't faze him, then again, the anger inside of him was the one fueling him to do this. Like a serpent, his hand moved and grabbed Demon Lord Olgaroz on the neck.
Hauling him off the ground, he tilts his head a little, "You were saying...?"
Just in under one minute, Demon Lord Olgaroz who was laughing frantically, feeling confident in himself got absolutely destroyed and left helpless. It wasn't even given a fighting chance, humiliated beyond measure.
Despite his condition, Demon Lord Olgaroz still tries to retaliate.
Rex keeps a calm gaze, hiding the wrath inside of him, and tilts his head a little savagely.
"Still going? I guess you have a stronger will than Demon Lord Ranath even though you are weaker than him" He mused, acknowledging Demon Lord Olgraoz's unyielding will before he punctured two holes in Demon Lord Ranath's body.
Each was gaping and provided clear access to what Rex needed to take.
The Sin Epicenter and the Heart.
Due to having his lower jaw all the way to his tongue ripped off, Demon Lord Olgaroz wasn't able to say anything back and could only endure the pain. But this made Rex even more amused, "Say, I was wondering, how much trust do you have in your legion?"
"Because I heard that Rastrikan Demons kill anyone but themselves" He added softly.
Upon hearing this, Demon Lord Olgaroz glared at him in response.
Smiling from ear to ear, Rex could tell that Demon Lord Olgaroz already knew where this was going. "Adhara, can you help me bring one Rastrikan Demon, please?" He glanced to the side, looking at Adhara meaningfully.
Nodding her head, she grabbed a Rastrikan Demon and brought it to Rex.
Restrained by the Alpha Bearing's skill, forcing the Rastrikan Demon to stand rooted on his spot, Rex lets go of Demon Lord Olgaroz and puts his arm around the Rastrikan Demon with a teasing smile, "I have a proposition for you. It's quite a good deal, I'm sure you're going to be stoked"
Glancing back at Demon Lord Olgaroz teasingly, his eyes glistened with malice.
"Carve out his Sin Epicenter and heart, and I'll let you and the remaining Rastrikan Demons live. How about that? Quite a good deal, isn't it?" Rex proposed. An evident sadistic smile on his face.
