All Novel Full Chapter 66: Perfect Synergy
Chapter 66: Perfect Synergy
The coalition of guilds is making their camps just south of Rex and about three kilometers away from Zrlois City entrance.
Zrolis City is surrounded by walls and it is heavily guarded by Supernaturals, the west and south of Zrolis City is a swamp that shelters mutated animals. The south of Zrolis City is where the back entrance located, while the east and north side is an open field that spans as far as the eye can see,
The Supernatural has a dark mood, in the first battle they lost quite a number because of the sudden attack from the guilds.
Zrlois City that is under the siege of Supernatural almost falls, the humans got a sneak attack on them destroying the city from the insides but thankfully, they manage to push the humans back with the help of Brutal Grey and his elites.
The city walls are charred and burned, some even cracked opened by the guilds. It is not looking good for the Supernatural.
Inside Zrlois City,
BAM!
CRACK!
Jarvald is destroying things angrily in the middle of the city, every item, house, or even animal that caught in his sight ends up destroyed by him.
“HOW DID THE SCOUTS GOT TAKEN DOWN?! USELESS!!”, He shouted maniacally, the place that is already in ruin becomes even more destroyed because of him.
He looks at the horde of Supernatural that are putting their heads down fiercely, he wanted to kill some of them but stopped by Vivian.
Vivian held him and said, “Calm down, the last petal is blooming. I predict the Silver Mooncress will finish this night”
Jarvald stops abruptly, he then looks at the horde with bloodshot eyes, “No matter what! We will ambush the Humans this night!”
“If you fail, then don’t even hope you will keep your lives tonight!”, he roared.
Vivian then walks up and said, “The humans will put their alertness at max during the night where we’re stronger, so low-rank should make a commotion at the back entrance while the rest will hide on the rear. Let’s make the humans think we’re retreating”
After Vivian said that, the horde then immediately went on their posts according to Vivian.
Meanwhile,
Rex is sneaking through the sides, they all went inside the swamp. The swamp can shelter them from the watchtower, it is also full of mutated animals so it is unlikely for them to suspect them here.
The swamp is muddy, it is also very dark. Normal people can’t possibly see where they’re going inside this terrain, it is too dark for a normal human.
Plop, Plop, Plop!
The sound of their shoes colliding with the mud was heard,
“If I know it’s this muddy then we should’ve worn other shoes”, Devan said feeling annoyed, because of the mud they move rather slowly.
Rex and Liliya ignores him and focus to their surrounding,
Hiss!!
Suddenly, a big snake lunged towards Devan.
The snake is easily 20 meters long and its fangs are sharp, it hisses madly towards Devan but instead of hitting Devan, the snake stopped as if it hits something after entering three meters range from Devan.
Rex looks at the snake and saw some kind of force field rendering it unable to move forward, it opened its mouth to attack trying to pierce through the force field.
The snake bumped its fangs a couple of times towards the force field to no avail,
Devan only glances briefly towards the snake before suddenly,
Shing!!
A blitz of metallic object slash past the snake’s neck, the snake went stiff abruptly before the snake’s head slide and falling to the ground.
Rex was shocked, ‘What the heck is that metallic shadow I saw briefly, and what did that snake hit’, he thought
Devan shrugs his shoulders before resuming.
Rex then asked, “As a team, we need to know our abilities. I’ll start first, I can see clearly during the night, super strength, and super senses”
“Telekinesis, making a force field three meters around myself, and this is my main weapon I call it Willy”, Devan followed as he takes out a metallic string that can hardly be seen with naked eyes.
‘So the snake hit his Force Field before getting sliced by that string’, Rex thought as he squinted his eyes trying to see the strings clearly.
The string is made of metal, it is so thin and sharp judging from the way that string cut off the snake’s head before.
After looking at the string, Rex’s eyes fall to Liliya.
He is quite curious about her power the most, even his system can’t see it.
Liliya open mouth meekly then said, “I don’t know where my power comes from but I call it Red Mark, the red mark I give can weaken, strengthen, explode, and track the target’s power, the downside is I need to touch the target. I also have super speed”
‘Red Mark? More like Death Mark’, Rex thought, Lilya’s power is out of the ordinary.
Liliya saw Rex’s and Devan’s confusion before she touches Rex’s shoulder,
Then suddenly, Rex felt something clung onto him like a parasite. A red mark with a weird pattern appeared on his shoulder, the red mark then glows slightly before suddenly,
<the user’s=”” stats=”” has=”” been=”” enhanced=”” by=”” 20%=””></the>
Rex widened his eyes in surprise, ‘20%?! That’s not a number that can be laughed at’
“How is it? Can you feel your power raise?”, Liliya asks.
Rex nodded his head, he clenched his fists feeling an unknown source of power coursing through his body.
The unknown power felt cold and eerie, it is behaving independently inside Rex’s body.
After that, the red mark dims before Liliya touches Rex’s other shoulder again and Devan’s shoulder.
Both of the red marks glow but this time, it is different.
<the user’s=”” stats=”” has=”” been=”” reduced=”” by=”” 20%=””></the>
Rex felt his power weaken, the red marks on his shoulder become a literal parasite that absorbs his physical power.
On the other hand, Devan is brimming with power as Rex’s power transferred to him.
“That’s so cool! You definitely will be a helpful girl in this team”, Devan said excitedly, he punches the trees beside him without using his telekinetic power.
BAM!
The trees collapsed easily, “You’re pretty strong Rex, this is only 20% of your power?”
Rex smiles then suddenly something hits him, ‘Wait, why is he excited? His stats are high enough to destroy a tree, so why?’, Rex thought,
Then he realized, ‘System how do you calculate someone’s stats?’
<the stats=”” are=”” calculated=”” based=”” on=”” the=”” target’s=”” highest=”” output=”” using=”” their=”” ability=”” regardless=”” they=”” are=”” an=”” awakened,=”” gifted,=”” or=”” supernatural=””></the>
‘As I thought, although Devan’s strength stated 65, it is 65 if he uses his Telekinetic power. If he doesn’t use his telekinetic power then he’s probably as strong as a normal man’, Rex thought after realizing that stats can be deceiving.
Then Rex remembers he still got 15 Attributable Stats that he still hasn’t allocated yet, after brief thinking, he puts all of his stats to strength raising his strength to 85 points.
After explaining each of their powers, the mark disappeared before they resume their mission.
Not long after, they got near the back entrance of Zrolis City.
They can already see the back entrance, it is quiet with no sign of Supernatural, ‘It seems they focused on the front where the guilds are camping’, Rex thought.
But just before they wanted to go out, Rex’s Supernatural senses are tingling madly.
He then turns his body abruptly and saw red eyes watching him from way above the trees, its eyes are bloody red but its body is covered in the darkness.
Devan and Liliya also turn to their back, Rex has the highest senses so they trusted Rex’s gut feeling.
They all look at the creature behind them,
The creature slowly creeps forward slowly revealing itself, it is growling while still staring at Rex with its bloody eyes.
The creature has a furry body, it is hulking in figure with razor-sharp teeth that are bloodied. It has a thick tail behind it, and an ugly face decorating its head. The figure can inflict massive trauma by just its appearance alone to normal people, but not Rex’s team.
Rex’s eyes glisten,
<lok></lok>
Race: Grendel – Adult
Power: Peak Rank Four – Night Crawler
Mental: 50
Strength: 110
Agility: 45
Endurance: 60
Intelligence: 0
‘Grendel?’, Rex thought in confusion.
He doesn’t know about this Supernatural before but seeing the creature’s stats, Rex becomes less alert.
Its stats are not as impressive, with Liliya and Devan’s around it will be a piece of cake to beat this Supernatural.
Growl!
Liliya mark Rex before she dashes forward, she is as fast as a flash of lightning!
Even Rex’s eyes that have high perception almost can’t keep up with her speed, it is simply astonishing.
The Grendel can’t even saw what happen when suddenly Liliya’s appeared in front of it, her hand already touches it as a red mark appeared on its forehead.
She then swung her legs and kick Grendel’s face,
BAM!!
Rex was in a daze, ‘Where are her meek and weak attitude? She suddenly turns into a fierce fighter all of a sudden’
Roar!!
The Grendel whimpers as it shot towards Devan, it’s spitting out blood because of Liliya’s kick.
Devan controls Willy, the string dances around beautifully before it shot out and entangled the Grendel stopping it midway.
A fierce glint appeared on Devan’s eyes as the string tighten,
Growl!!
The Grendel cries out in pain, the string is pressing its body brutally. Its body is bleeding all over, its red bloody eyes become droopy as tears fall down from its eyes.
Rex came out of his daze,
<the user’s=”” stats=”” has=”” been=”” increased=”” by=”” 20%=””></the>
Rex felt immense power coursing through his body, the 50% increase from his passive skill and 20% increase of Liliya’s marks makes his stats rise tremendously.
He looks at the wavering Grendel mid-air that is under their mercy, he then jumped up cracking the ground beneath him.
The moon shone from Rex’s back,
The Grendel shiver uncontrollably, if it can talk then it might beg for mercy. It can already feel the death god peeking at it from the other side.
Rex’s nails grow longer, he then slashed the Grendel’s head cutting it cleanly.
If there is an onlooker seeing this scene, there is only one word to describe it, Perfect!
Blood spurt from the Grendel’s neck like a fountain,
Devan then tighten Willy before the Grendel’s body exploded into smithereens, the team synergy they have is off the charts!
As if they are meant to be a team,
Thud!
The Grendel’s head falls to the ground making a thudding sound, fear was etched on its face even before death.
Rex’s team then walks over the Grendel’s remains and left the place,
Without even saying anything, they know in their heads that the fight with the Grendel just boosts their confidence in finishing their mission.
