Chapter 353 - Undead Has Ambition Too

BOOM!

Mother Gebboo got slammed to the ground from the Metal Elementalist punch,

The punch is imbued with earth mana that turns into metal mana, it was a powerful punch that even Rex is quite surprised by the strength behind it.

Rex then look at the four descendants fighting with him in thought,

'Evelyn and Dray are quite fast, they even manage to knock Mother Gebbo to the ground with the help of Vanessa's water spell', he thought.

ROAR!!

Mother Gebbo twists its body on the ground and flicks its spikey bone tail,

Dray saw this as he instantly jumped to dodge it, but Evelyn was not fast enough to dodge the tail sweep but when the tail sweep was about to hit her,

CLANG!

The metal Elementalist landed right in front of her and blocks the attack,

Both of his arms turns grey in color as he blocked the incoming tail sweep, he got pushed a bit but can still withstand the hit giving enough time for Evelyn to dash away.

'He's quite sturdy, his endurance matches mine during the day', Rex thought as he scan the Metal Elementalist guy, he was intrigued by the scene in front of him.

Just like any other branches of Earth-related Awakened,

All of them are known to have strong and sturdy bodies due to their association with Earth Element, and this muscular guy perfectly shows how an Earth Elementalist fights like, they can be called a tanker or protector of the team.

'Adhara and Kyran are fast and hits hard, but my pack doesn't have a support or tanker', Rex thought.

From the fight, he's in right now.

Rex is starting to realize what his pack lack in comparison to this team of descendants.

Although Rex can act as the frontline of his pack, his skill and spell don't really have defensive properties other than strengthening himself.

Protecting the others becomes a difficult thing for Rex, that's why he bought the Tetuka Ring.

His pack really lack a support figure,

Rex glanced to the side and found Morana who is using a spell that summons at least more than a dozen droplets of water around her, the droplets of water then shot to another descendant before all of that descendant injuries got healed.

It's an AoE healing spell, a Great Spell equivalent to Rex's Sky Rupture.

'Hmmm...', Rex hummed on his thought while looking at Morana.

But while he's thinking,

"Watch out! It's going to use the Death Ray again!", Dray shouted after seeing the Mother Gebbo opens its mouth and gathers death energy.

Mother Gebbo is still planted on the ground as the others attacked it from all sides.

Upon looking at Mother Gebbo that is gathering Death Energy crazily, the others jumped out of the way to avoid being hit by the Death Ray.

Even Rex got blasted upon getting hit by it before,

None of them can withstand that Death Ray if even Rex can't do it, so they all jumped away from its head's direction in order to dodge it.

But then suddenly,

BOOM!

Evelyn glances to her side and finds Kevin blasted out of a house before crashing to another house, this happened unexpectedly.

She was stunned for a fraction of a second,

"KEVIN!! WATCH OUT!!", Evelyn shouted before she instantly dashes towards him.

Rex saw Evelyn dashes to Kevin and hugs him before the red scarf around her neck covers their entire bodies, but the Death Ray is nearing them and the red scarf will not be able to withstand it.

'System, Use Lunar Blessing Storage'

<The user's stats has been increased by 80%>

SWOOSH!

Dray and the others don't have the time to help Evelyn as the Death Ray creates a powerful shockwave that pushes them back, they will be too late to help Evelyn.

Evelyn hugs Kevin tightly intending to take the blow, then suddenly,

Under the other's gaze, the Death Ray tilted to the side and missed Evelyn and Kevin just by a couple of inches which surprises them.

They all turn their heads towards Mother Gebbo and find Rex is on its neck

Rex grabs Mother Gebbo's neck with bulging muscles, he squeezes his arms hard and pulls Mother Gebbo's head to the side in order to make the Death Ray miss Evelyn and Kevin.

Since the sun is still shining in the sky, Rex is not as strong.

Like what the system stated before, his default stats only amounted to a mid-sixth rank power and if Rex activates his red force his stats raise to the peak sixth rank.

Mother Gebbo is almost as strong as a mid-sixth rank,

If the Death Energy is not purified then it'll probably reach the peak sixth rank power or even nearing the seventh rank, but thankfully Rex has the elixir on him.

But even without the Death Energy, Mother Gebbo is matching Rex in terms of strength.

It's lacking on the agility part massively but its raw strength is unbelievable, so Rex needs more power to bring himself close to Mother Gebbo and tilts its head away by using Lunar Blessing Storage.

SWISH!!

The Death Ray went on a straight line burning everything that got hit by it,

With the strengthening power from the Lunar Blessing Storage, Rex clenched his arms on Mother Gebbo's head putting every bit of his strength on it.

"Raaargh!!", Rex shouted as he lifts Mother Gebbo by the head.

The descendants who are watching this are stunned including Evelyn and Kevin who just come out of the red scarf, even the Metal Elementalist was shocked to see Rex lifts Mother Gebbo.

After lifting Mother Gebbo including its heavy lower body,

Rex waves his arms and slammed Mother Gebbo to the ground in front of him,

BOOM!

The ground shakes under Mother Gebbo's weight that reaches at least dozens of tons, it got slammed right on its back exposing its chest part where the purple orb lies.

Rex then shouted, "Metal Elementalist guy! Grabs the orb!"

Hearing this, the Metal Elementalist is stunned before he shakes his head and leaps for the orb.

While Rex is holding Mother Gebbo who is struggling to get up, the Metal Elementalist's hand turns into metal and they also got bigger as he reaches for the purple orb.

Rex unsheathed his silver sword and throw it to Mother Gebbo's left-wing,

ROAR!!

Mother Gebbo roared feeling its wing get stabbed by the silver sword, its wing started sizzling.

The Metal Elementalist grabs the purple orb,

And with a pull from the Metal Elementalist, the purple orb got yanked outside as he jumped away to secure the purple orb that is the size of his entire body.

The purple orb sucked the death energy out of Mother Gebbo like a torrent.

It makes Mother Gebbo weak as the Death energy leaves his body, it can only wail painfully while the death energy leaves its body.

Evelyn even almost feel bad for Mother Gebbo,

The pain and sorrow can be heard from its wails before its body become limp.

"Is it dead?", Dray approached Rex as he inspected Mother Gebbo.

But Rex shakes his head and glance at Mother Gebbo, "Nope, it just got weakened heavily by having the purple orb that acts as its power source removed from its body"

"She's as good as dead"

Hearing this, Dray nodded his head but was confused as to why Rex didn't kill it.

"Let me end its suffering", Dray said while approaching Mother Gebbo with his sword.

Rex widen his eyes upon hearing this, he turns his body towards Dray before he grabs his shoulder, "Don't", he said lightly.

Dray tilts his head in confusion, he looks at Rex questioningly.

"As long as you're on my team, big kills such as this Undead will belong to me", Rex continues plainly, he was not going to let Dray steal his Exp.

This makes Dray looks at Rex with a frown, but before he can say anything else the Metal Elementalist guy approaches Rex while holding the purple orb,

He was struggling to approach Rex since he can't see his front due to the purple orb.

Vanessa and Evelyn chuckles lightly when they saw how the Metal Elementalist is holding the purple orb, he's holding the purple orb with two arms and his entire body is blocked.

Rex can't see the Metal Elementalist's face from the front as the Metal Elementalist guy said, "What are we going to do with this?"

But he's facing the wrong way making Rex shakes his head,

"Give me that", Rex said before he was handed the purple orb.

Evelyn on the side then ask while looking at the massive purple orb, "Why did we need to get this purple orb? Does this orb have any hidden benefit?"

"No, I'm going to use it for this", Rex mumbles as steps forward.

He's looking towards the Zombies and the humanoid Undead who are still fighting with the descendants before he shouted, "WHO'S GOING TO BE THE NEXT MOTHER?!"

"Wha?"

"The fuck?"

The others mutter in confusion as he saw Rex holding the purple orb up with one hand.

But their confusion seize to exist when they suddenly saw the Zombies and the humanoid undead turns their attention to Rex, they all instantly stop fighting.

"I know you want it", Rex said with a smile, playing with the purple orb.

RAAGHH!

KRAAHH!

All of them started to run towards Rex crazily,

They're pushing and bumping each other as they fixated their gaze on the purple orb, none of them wants to miss this opportunity.

'Even Undead has ambition too', Rex thought with a smile.

When he read about the Undead on the system, Rex also read that the undead can get stronger by absorbing death energy other undead has gathered by either killing them or absorbing their death energy.

Killing other undead is easier than absorbing their death energy,

But Mother Gebbo is one of the Undead that has an orb that stores its death energy, this makes it easier for other undead to absorb its death energy upon death or a situation like this.

'Since we're at war, the Undead King definitely forbids them killing each other', Rex thought.

Based on the system information about the undead, Rex got a realization when he remember that humans are at war with the Supernatural.

He assumed that the Undead King forbid them from killing each other to become stronger.

The only way an undead can become stronger without stealing death energy from other undead is to absorb death energy, but the process is slow and they need to kill humans to do that.

Now that Rex is standing in front of the army of undead amounting to more than a hundred.

Rex confirms his assumption is true, the undead reaction says it all.

'This is an orb equivalent to a rank sixth undead, they definitely won't miss this chance to absorb it and become a sixth rank undead themselves', Rex thought as he grins nastily.

But that is not the only reason Rex takes the purple orb,

"Look! Something is happening to the undead", Vanessa pointed at a humanoid undead.

The humanoid undead wobbles for a moment, the nape area of the humanoid undead started to bulge before an undead burst from it.

Seeing this, Rex grins becomes even wider.

It's the undead inside them that controls them, Rex is planning to lure them out.

"MORANA! HEAL THE BODIES THAT THE LITTLE UNDEAD CAME OUT FROM!", Rex shouted surprising Morana who is looking at the scene in shock.

Hearing this, Morana glance around and understand what Rex is saying.

She started to chant her spell that summons the droplets of water like before, the droplets then went to the bodies that has already had the little undead removed.

After instructing Morana, Rex puts down the purple orb in front of him.

"Let's end this shall we?", Rex mutters as his eyes started cracking with black lightning.

The descendants saw the air turns cold right after Rex said that, they then looks up to the sky and saw a small dark cloud appear out of nowhere despite the bright sun behind it.

BLITZ!

Rex called out Devo making the black lightning around him blast with more power.

A cloudy spirit appeared behind Rex that emits a powerful suppression, Dray looks at the spirit as his eyes widen in shock which turns into awe after a few seconds.

Even Evelyn is also surprised, this is the second time that they saw Rex's spirit.

But even though it's their second time, they're still mesmerized and surprised by the sheer energy coming from Devo that can suppress other spirits easily.

As for the other descendants that are looking at Devo for the first time,

Their jaw dropped feeling the energy coming from Devo, not one of their spirit can match Devo who is looking at the army of undead with his cold eyes.

RUMBLE!

Rex holds his hands up before two other dark clouds appeared in the sky,

The mana that is gathering on his hands makes the descendants feel heavy, it's simply enormous, the amount of mana that Rex gathered on his hands.

"I wonder if I will level up after this", Rex mumbles,

His body then blasted with black lightning before he chanted, "Great Lightning Spell"

"Sky Rupture Assortment!!"

CRACK

Three black lightning bolt strikes down from the dark clouds that are as thick as a car, it can be seen clearly that the Sky Rupture has become stronger than before.

All of the descendants closed their ears with their hands when the lightning bolt strikes down.

It makes their ears ring madly since the black lightning strike just breaks the sound barrier.

But right after they closed their ears,

BOOM!!

BOOM!!

BOOM!!

The three sky rupture spells strike down right on the army of Undead and destroyed the ground, these black lightning bolts pierce through the undead easily vaporizing their entire body to ash.

Nothing can stand on the black lightning bolts way,

Even the ground was at the mercy of the black lightning strikes, the shockwaves created by the lightning bolt also blasted the descendants away except for the metal Elementalist guy.

But even he got pushed back even though he had already made his body heavier.

After the impact is over and the descendants recover, 

Evelyn, Dray, and the Metal Elementalist are the ones that stand up first before they sucked in a cold breath when they saw the aftermath of the Sky Rupture spell.

The ground is sliced open as if a huge knife stabs the ground,

Nothing was left in more than a five hundred feet radius, only debris from the ground and houses was left from the aftermath of Rex's spell.

There's no sight of the Undead anywhere, they all got obliterated by Rex's spell.

"Just what kind of talent does he have", Dray mutters in shock.

The Metal Elementalist also looks at the scene with a surprised look, "I know that he's strong, but this is just ridiculous. Is that really just a Great Spell?"

"I really need to get him", Evelyn mumbles as she looks at Rex standing amidst the destruction.
