Tap!
A hand suddenly grabbed Rex’s shoulder, he jumped in surprise.
Rex jumped away and landed a few meters away from the figure behind him, his heart is thumping as he laid his eyes on the figure.
The figure is a guy wearing a Faraday University uniform that is covered by a brown hood, he’s small and scrawny but he emitted an aura that even Rex felt pressured.
Rex’s senses are on full alert,
It’s not just the figure’s aura that makes him alert but the figure got behind Rex without him even noticing, this is the first time anyone manages to do this.
It is seen clearly judging from the long slender fingers of the figure, he’s definitely a Supernatural.
Rex’s eyes glister as the figure’s stat appear,
<syn></syn>
Race: Pale Shapeshifter
Power: Rank Five(Peak) – ???
Mental: ???
Strength: ???
Agility: ???
Endurance: ???
Intelligence: ???
Seeing this, Rex becomes even more certain, ‘This guy is strong! Peak Rank Five is not something I can defeat’, he thought.
“Hello there, nice to meet you fellow friend”, Syn said, all of Syn’s body and even voice is that of a human except for his long slender fingers.
Rex is backing away slowly, he trusts his senses and all of his senses are telling him to run.
‘Fellow friend? Did he come here because of the day when I turn Adhara into a half-Werewolf?’, Rex thought.
He then opened his mouth and said, “Why are you here?”
“How can a Werewolf like you live amongst humans, how did you get that body?”, Syn said, he completely ignore Rex as he studied Rex up and down.
‘So the Supernatural finally found me, they came to me to determine my position between the human and the Supernatural’, Rex knows this day will come but he didn’t expect it to come this soon.
Meeting an intelligent Supernatural is not what he’s looking for, especially a high-rank one.
“Why should I tell you? Why should I tell a shapeshifter like you?”, Rex said, his eyes darted left and right trying to find something or an opening to escape.
He decided to try and act like a Werewolf, it is at least what he can do right now.
Rex cursed himself to be alone in this place,
There’s no CCTV around this area, it is completely blind in this garden.
Syn tilted his head weirdly, his human eyes suddenly turn black hollow, “You caught on quick, my name is Syn from the Conversion. I’m here to judge whether you’re a friend or foe”
From the way he talks, Rex can tell that Syn is a proud shapeshifter.
Hearing this, Rex answered, “Only one Supernatural that can turn into almost a perfect human, so it not that hard to guess. A bastard like you is what we Werewolf hate”
Syn walks circling Rex slowly, he chuckles lightly, “Hate? You said you hate Shapeshifters?”
Rex stepped back unconsciously, he can feel Syn’s aura becomes violent all of a sudden.
He’s ransacking his brain in panic, ‘Did I say something wrong? Why did he suddenly become hostile as if he’s seeing his natural enemy’
Syn’s eyes glanced sharply, “So, you’re from the human side? a spy created by the human?!”
“What do you mean? I’m not on the Human side!”, Rex shouted, he can feel the tension filling the air.
The wind is fluttering roughly as if there’s a storm about to burst.
Syn black hollow eyes become darker, he looks at Rex sharply, “Werewolf and Shapeshifters have no hostile history with each other, you not knowing that means you’re a fraud!!”
BOOM!
Syn blasted like a bolt, his movement is almost faster than what Rex’s eyes can see.
SLASH!
In the blink of an eye, Rex’s stomach got slashed by Syn’s claws.
He didn’t even notice what happened before suddenly blood burst out of his gut, a nasty slash wound etch on his gut as he held it tightly.
Rex felt the painful sting from the wound but he held it in, there’s only one way to escape from this.
‘Adhara definitely felt my situation, I’m still in the university so she will bring help’, Rex thought, he’s standing straight unfazed trying so hard to hold back his pain.
Syn looks at Rex with hostility, “You seem weak, even weaker than a normal Werewolf”, he said while he licked the blood on his claws.
He looks confident in beating Rex, it was evident from the smile on his face.
‘I can’t beat him, it’s the only way’, Rex thought, he then smiles creepily while looking at Syn.
Looking at this, Syn was confused.
“What are you smiling at? You want to die?”, he was feeling unsettled by Rex’s smile but he shakes the feeling off.
Rex spread his arm mockingly, “It’s funny that they say Shapeshifters is the weakest amongst the high-rank Supernatural, and now I can see why”
Syn was stunned, he didn’t expect to hear that from Rex.
“You can’t even react to my attack, trying to act tough?”, Syn said mockingly, he didn’t believe Rex’s strong front.
Rex’s smiles got even wider, he laughs maniacally, “It’s not that I can’t react, it’s just I don’t have to react to such a weak attack from you”
The wound on Rex’s stomach is starting to heal up, it makes Syn shocked.
He was starting to hesitate because of it, Rex’s regenerative ability is akin to that of High Werewolf that even Syn can’t look down on.
“What’s the matter? Are you done trying?”, Re said confidently.
Syn gritted his teeth and said, “Big talk for a weakling, I can feel you’re not even close to my power. I’m going to attack your left leg now, try and keep your tough front”
Hearing this, Rex uses his all to strengthen his body.
‘This is it, after this, he will surely take my bait’, Rex thought, he needs to at least make Syn bleed.
Right in front of Rex’s eyes, Syn’s hands that look like a normal human’s hands suddenly turn into a huge skin-colored blade that looks sharp.
It makes Rex regret taunting Syn but he has to survive this next attack.
BOOM!
Just like before, Syn disappears from his spot like a phantom in the night before he arrives in front of Rex and slashes his legs.
In Rex’s eyes, Syn’s movement is so fast that even his body can’t match.
Suddenly, Syn’s body split into two as they both attack each of Rex’s legs respectively.
Rex was shocked but he instantly collected himself.
Without thinking any further, Rex imbued all of his mana into his legs that makes them cracking with black lightning.
He also lengthens his claws to at least touch Syn’s body, he needs only a little scratch that he can use to keep taunting Syn.
Rex focuses the force around his body to reinforce his legs, he needs all the defense he can gather.
SLASH!
“Eukh!”, Rex grunted as his legs got a brutal injury on them.
He wanted to kneel on the ground because of the nasty slash wound but he didn’t do it, he’s still standing with a stoic expression trying to hold the pain in.
Although he can see his bones through the wound on his legs, he still didn’t budge.
The pain he felt is extremely painful but he needs to put up a strong front, it is his plan to make Syn go all out.
He can already smell Adhara’s scent nearing him, it seems Adhara really brought him some help.
“Even when I didn’t do anything, you can’t slash my legs off. You even get a little blowback from me, as you can see if I want to you’ll be dead already”, Rex said mockingly.
Syn on the other hand was stunned, his hands got zapped by the black lightning and his face got touched by Rex’s claws.
There is a small scratch on his face, it is slightly bleeding.
It was due to pure luck that Rex manages to scratch Syn.
If Syn didn’t underestimate Rex, then Rex will certainly die in mere seconds against him.
Syn touches the scratch on his face slowly, he looks at the bloodstain on his hand in disbelief, “You….scratch me?”
“It’s a little gift for my little Shapeshifter, piss off now”, Rex said.
Hearing this, the black aura around Syn exploded.
BOOM!!
The aura emitted by Syn makes the air trembles as he glances at Rex slowly, it is extremely dark.
Rough dark shockwaves breezes Rex’s body along with the wind, it was utterly powerful.
Rex felt the pressure got heavier, his injury becomes even worse just by trying to fight back the pressure and standstill.
If he let go of his strong front now then it will be over.
‘This guy, he unleashed his Supernatural aura recklessly. The lecturers and other Awakened nearby will definitely sense this’, Rex thought.
Rex knows that Syn is a prideful Shapeshifter, he sounded proud just by saying that he’s from the Conversion.
Because of that, Rex knows the way to make a prideful Syn mad is by mocking the Shapeshifter.
“A measly fake Werewolf like you…dare to scratch me?”, Syn said slowly, his tone is getting lower and lower along with the pressure getting heavier.
It suffocated Rex making him dizzy but he tries his best to fend it off.
Syn’s body merge together again as his blade hands glow with a dark hue,
The dark hue is so dark that even the surrounding light got engulfed by it as if it’s a hungry hell hound eating away the light, it was a horrifying sight that can make trained soldiers feel fear.
‘Dark Element! This guy is no joke!’, Rex thought.
Dark Element and Light Element is two of the rarest element there is, both of the element can bring an Awakened directly to rank five without even needing to raise them to a higher rank element.
It is an element that is owned by seven people in the whole Elpida Alliance.
And that rare element is used by the Shapeshifter in front of Rex!
“I have seen countries fall! I have seen brethren die in vain!”, Syn shouted as the dark mana gather crazily on his blade hand.
Without even needing to check it, Rex knows that he will die if he got hit by that attack.
Syn looks at Rex crazily, “I killed thousands of normal Humans! I even killed hundreds of Ancient Humans!”
“I AM TWO THOUSAND YEARS OLD! YOU CAN’T KILL ME!”
BOOM!!
The ground cracked under Syn’s might, it got destroyed easily like butter.
He dashes like a madman turning into a black shadow filled with dark elements.
Rex can feel the immense pressure that even he himself is on the verge of kneeling, it is akin to a colossal monster stepping on a normal human’s back.
As Syn got closer to Rex, he can feel the area around him got locked.
He can’t even move an inch, the darkness is like a sticky liquid that restrains his movement in place.
“Great Magic! Blade of Darkness!”, Syn arrived in front of Rex and slashes aiming at Rex’s head, he intends to slash Rex’s head in one clean strike.
Syn’s blade hand is wrapped by the dark element,
The dark element turns into abyss eyes that sentenced Rex to death, it freezes Rex’s being in place.
Syn didn’t let Rex do anything, it happens in a flash.
In the nick of time, Rex shouted inside his head, ‘SYSTEM USE INVINCIBLE!!’
BOOM!!
The slash landed cleanly towards Rex’s head, the collision creates a huge shockwave that turns the night darker.
“What the hell is that?!”
“An attack? Rebels?”
“Dark Element?! How can a Dark Element Elementalist appear here?”
The collision between Rex and Syn caught the attention of many, they’re all coming towards the garden near the side entrance.
Meanwhile,
Syn was shocked, he can feel his hand got stuck on something and he can’t slash through it.
He raises his gaze and saw his blade hand can’t slash Rex’s neck!
The scene in front of him greatly shocked him, even in his wildest dream he didn’t expect there to be a really high-ranking Werewolf live amongst humans.
“Wh…What?”
