The Mage was confused after feeling the complete silence.
"What just...", he looked here and there in order to search the burn marks but it seemed as if nothing had happened.
Everything was perfectly normal, even Rex who was in front of him was standing as if nothing had happened to him.
"What's going on!!? What did you do?", he asked Rex directly because other than the women, it was only him who could do something.
He knew that the women didn't have the ability to just make the magic disappear somewhere and thus he believed that it might indeed have been Rex.
However he still had a doubt about interference, because making such a high level of magic disappear was no easy job.
According to him, it would be possible only if some stronger being was helping Rex and thus he was observing his surroundings to see if there was somekne nearby that was noteworthy or not.
Rex didn't answer the mage's question and just kept his gazes lowered.
It was as if he was thinking something but the Mage thought that he was doing this out of fear and hence didn't ask anything about that.
"Tell me boy... who helped you in dispelling my magic?", he asked again but it was the same, he didn't get a reply.
"Are you deaf!? Can't you hear me!!!?", the skeleton Mage raised his voice.
He was quite angered now after looking at Rex's behaviour. It seemed as if Rex was taunting him and that was why he was getting annoyed each and every second.
Even after whiting Rex didn't guve any reply. Even now he kept his gazes lowered as if he was staring or observing at something that was on ground.
But that was quite insulting to the mage, he cojld t tolerate such behaviour anymore.
"You bastard!!! Just die!!!", he shouted and was about to use another hell fire when all of a sudden he heard something immediately after which he found himself kneeling on the ground.
"Huh? What happened...?", he tried to recall as what had happened.
'I... I heard someone say...', he thought about it when suddenly he heard the same thing again.
"Kneel!"
"Kneel!"
"Kneel!"
Rex kept saying the same word again and again and each time he told, the skeleton Mage was being pressurised.
It was as if the pressure just above him kept increasing and if it was going on; he would definitely end up going under the ground.
'What's happening?', the skeleton Mage was completely confused.
It was the same for the women too. They didn't know what was happening exactly.
They clearly saw the huge sphere form and thus it was no illusion, but all of a sudden the sphere vanished!
More than that, the fierce and crooked Skeleton Mage was literally kneeling bowing in front of Rex right now!
It was too much of information for them to comprehend. They could hardly even believe that this was all reality.
Rex had his gazes lowered even now as if he was staring at the earth when all of a sudden he turned back and looked at the Madam.
"Your name...", he said.
"Eh!?", she was confused. She didn't understand what he meant by.
"What is your name?", Rex asked clearly.
"I'm... I'm Kisara...", was what she said with a trembling voice.
Just a moment ago she faced a death like situation and if not for Rex, she would have literally been dead.
That was what her throat was so dry that she couldn't even utter any words clearly.
Furthermore it seemed like she hardly had anymore strength left because of which she couldn't even stand up.
All she did was sit back and watch what wa ahappening.
'No... it cant be... a kid... I would be defeated by a kid!!!?', the skeleton Mage wasn't able to accept that and was again and again trying to force himself to stand up.
But the pressure was so huge that if he were to fight against it, his bony body would turn into powder which would be later used as face power by Rex as he liked to do weird experiments.
"Hyaaaa!!!! I can not tolerate thissss!!!", he was aggressive and was completely angry.
Because of that, he started releasing a large amount of evil aura and evil energy that was constantly surrounding him.
It was as if he was using the very energy in order to fight against the pressure that was being caused by Rex.
He was somehow being successful and was slowly regaining his stand.
He started to slowly rise up and then stood firmly. Though many cracks had been already formed all over its bony body, he didn't want to accept this defeat.
"I... I...", it seems as if the skeleton wanted to tell something but Rex was not interested in hearing that.
He didn't even bait his eye towards him and was just looking at the Madam. He wanted to heal her when suddenly my he heard a scream.
"Hyaaa!!! Master!!!!", it was the voice of a women.
'STAB'
"Nooo!!!", the Madam shouted but she was too late.
Soria who was previously unconscious, woke up and saw everything that happened.
When she found that Rex was turning his back against the skeleton, she thought that it was an opportunity to strike back and thus she used her sword and stabbed him.
"...", it was completely silent for a while and everyone's eyes were bulged. They could pop out any instance if the widening and bulging due to surprise continued.
"Haha... Hahahaha!!! Terrific!!! Terrific Soria!!!", the skeleton Mage laughed loudly after looking at the beast feat that Soria has done according to him.
The skeleton Mage kept laughing becaus whe thoight that it was over for Rex. It was not as if the sword had poison or it had some kind of curse that would kill Rex instantly.
The skeleton was so sure because he saw Rex as a kid even now and thus thought that a single stab was more than enough to kill him.
"Are you...", Kisara was worried and extended her hand a bit but she suddenly paused midway even before she touched him.
'He... he is smiling?', that was the only thing she thought when she saw Rex smile despite being stabbed.
"Now what will you do? You fucking bastard... a son of a bi-", and even before he could say that, he was already one ground once again.
'BAM'
"Huh...? What just...", he was confused.
He was sure for certain that he was using all of his mana in order to fight against the pressure that was being inflicted. On top of that since Rex was tanned the pressure should weaken and he should have been able to move freely.
But quite the opposite thing happened. The pressure became the two times of the previous applied one.
'What just...', he couldn't even think any further than that.
He was wondering about it when suddenly he heard something which made him shiver in fear.
"You are... by no means... an immortal.. or undead... are you?", Rex said.
"...", he couldn't say anything.
All the women suddenly turned their gazes towards Rex when they heard that.
What Rex essentially said meant that he could be killed in another way rather than using Holy magic.
"Should I say to them?", he asked.
"N-no! Please don't...", he slowly turned his gazes towards the women too and knew that they would show no mercy and would kill him.
"They will... they will kill me!", his words were quite shaky. It were similar to the voice of the person who was close to death.
"Oh, perhaps are you thinking that I will let you live?", Rex asked.
The skeleton had no words to say anything. It was as if he was dealing with the demon lord himself. He could neither answer nor plea in front of Rex.
"Please I...", the skeleton wanted to somehow pass the time and wait for his companions or someone else to arrive as he had asked 2-3 of his companions to come.
"Just tell me your last wish already...", Rex asked.
He had already hardened his heart earlier and now utterly erasing someone wouldn't hurt him.
"I... I just want to know how you are done despite this huge evil energy?", he asked.
"Ah? Evil...?", Rex smiled.
"Huh?", the Mage couldn't understand what he meant by his smile.
"Who said that I am not evil?", Rex smirked.
"....", and that one line sealed the undead's as well as well the women's mouths.
"Anyway, are you perhaps stalling for time so that your companions would arrive and save you?", Rex asked while grinning.
"Huh!? How did you...", the Mage was choked yet again when he heard that.
"Bandis... Zor... you can come out...", Rex said in a low voice.
Suddenly from the bushes just behind Kisara. Bandis and Zor came walking with two other Weird monster like people.
One was having a beast like appearance but was actually a half demon. So one could say he was half demon and half beast while the other was a complete demon.
Both of them were dead and their bodies lied lifelessly in Bandis and Zor's hands.
The skeleton looked at both of their dead bodies and was shocked, but there was something else that he was shocked about.
"You... you both... why... why are you here? In the same place?", he asked while pointing his finger towards Bandis and Zor.
Rex too turned towards them and was confused with the foolish and useless question that he asked.
"Sigh, they came here because they wanted to accompany me...", Rex said.
"Accompany you!? What bullshit!? Why would Two of the legendary beasts of the great hero accompany a puny kid like you!?", the skeleton said.
"..."
Rex glared at the Mage and said, "For someone who is about to die now... you speak quite a lot and that too boldly..."
The glare was so intense that the skull started to have many cracks due to the pressure of the glare.
"You..."
"Why don't you just die?", while saying this Rex moved his left arm forward.
The undead Mage kept looking at Rex till the last moment and kept on saying just one word, "You..."
It seemed as if he had realized something the moment Rex said, "Take your Hell Fire with you and die!"
"It can't be... you... you are...", he was about to say something even before which Rex used the hell fires attack after shielding everyone.
"TRUE HELL FIRE!", a massive reddish fire sphere formed which was formed with pure mana.
It wasn't contaminated with evil energy due to which it retained its original colour.
More than that it was 3 times bigger than the skeleton's hell fire.
"GOOD BYE!"
"NOOO!!! THE GREAT CHRONOS!!! MERCY!!! AHHH!!!"
The Cry was heard to the ends of the forest and even outside.
All the women trembled just by hearing that and all the beasts tried to cover their ears or hide themselves.
"Sigh.., finally... I guess it's over..."
