Chapter 437 Chased By The Atkins Family

BOOM!!

The powerful combination Stevanus used is very powerful that even the barrier made by Giana started to waver, the wind and force it produces shakes the entire ground and building.

Stevanus thrust downward but his eyes widen when he saw wings sprouted out of nowhere.

Almost in an instant, Wesley replied by summoning wings on his back.

The wings wrapped around his body like a sleeping bat as the Vindication Blade stabbed the wings creating a massive shockwave upon contact.

It's so powerful that the ground got absolutely destroyed by the impact,

Under the watcher from outside the arena, Wesley's wings made of spirit energy mixed with wind mana started to make a cracking sound as the Vindication Blade slowly pierced them.

But then suddenly, the wings grow brighter as if they got amplified by something.

Stevanus widen his eyes upon seeing this, he was confused and shocked at the same time seeing Wesley's power rising by the second instead of weakening.

This makes Stevanus frown before suddenly,

ROAR!!

Wesley's spirit appears on his back as it roared while the wings jolted open destroying the Vindication blade, it sent Stevanus crashing onto the barrier once again.

Even the onlookers were surprised to see Wesley blocking the attack,

"Huaakh!", Stevanus spat a mouthful of blood as he was kneeling on four.

There is a shocked expression on his face but the expression slowly turns into a disappointment, he is looking down at the ground in utter disbelief.

Upon seeing this, Wesley smirks as he strides toward Stevanus confidently.

It's weird to see Wesley striding powerfully as if he's not injured, "I told you Stevanus, you're not my match again even with those new spells you learned"

"I'm still superior", he added with a huge grin.

Hearing this, Stevanus stayed on the ground without even looking at Wesley.

The sight of Stevanus kneeling in front of him using all four makes the grin on Wesley's face grows wider, his wind mana then started to circulate intending to finish Stevanus off.

But after a slight pause, "I surrender!", Stevanus suddenly shouted.

After the surrender declaration by Stevanus, Giana instantly appears in between Stevanus and Wesley before she glances at Wesley, "Winner, Wesley Atkins!"

"What a disgrace, you don't even have the gut to take my last blow", Wesley harshly remarks.

With the victory on his side, Wesley walks out of the arena under the onlookers' gaze with a huge smile as he went to his wife outside of the arena.

Stevanus stayed on his spot as he looks down to the ground unmoving,

"You're the disgraceful one Wesley, I can't believe you stoop so low...", Stevanus mutters lightly, a woman then approaches him before helping him up.

This woman is the one that Rex saw holding a gun before,

While helping Stevanus get out of the arena, the woman then asks, "What are we going to do? Wesley uses something at the last moment to beat you like that"

"Fulfil our deal as per our agreement with the kid, he deserved it anyway", Stevanus replied.

On the other side of the arena,

Wesley is wiping the blood and sweat on his body before Hans who stood on the side approached him, he brought a drink for Wesley that just finished his fight.

"Sir, Rex is heading to Emham Forest just like expected", Hans whispered.

Hearing this, Wesley chugged the drink Hans brought before he said with an evil smile, "Prepare the car then, I want to see the despair in his face when I kill all of his loved ones"

This makes Hans nod his head, but his eyes are directed to the drinks.

While Hans is checking on the drink he brought, Wesley suddenly asks attracting his attention back, "What happened to your son? Did you manage to take back your son?"

"Yes, I've managed to find him before Rex can do anything to him", Hans replied calmly.

Although Hans replied with a calm tone, his expression slightly contorted for a split second hearing Wesley asking about his son.

Hearing this, Wesley then said, "Good for you, you can go now"

Upon getting the order, Hans bowed deeply hiding his brutal smile before he walks away to prepare the car for Wesley.

Back to Rex,

BLITZ!

SWOOSH!

Rex and Delta are still running from Indira who persistently stayed on their backs, no matter how much Rex imbued Delta with his mana they can't flee Indira.

Not only that, but Rex has also tried to use everything he can to slow Indira down.

"Black Field Orko!"

CRACK!

Hundreds of sky black lightning tentacles burst from the ground like giant tentacles of a Kraken, the tentacles' movements are very fast and some of them manage to catch Indira.

The sky black lightning tentacles entangle Indira's body,

But as if Indira already expected the sky black lightning tentacles, she spins her body turning into a tornado and breaking the tentacles easily.

It's done swiftly as if she already knows what is Rex's power,

'Devo! Do you think I'll be able to use Ether Blink on myself and Delta simultaneously?!', Rex asks inside his head, Indira is getting closer by the second.

Hearing this, Devo then answered, [We probably can, Delta also has lightning affinities]

After getting the confirmation from Devo, Rex was about to use his Pneuma Spell but then suddenly, the ground in front of the two of them exploded.

BOOM!

A violent wall of sharp wind blocks their tracks, "You're not going anywhere!"

Indira is the one that summoned the wall of a violent wind, it's imbued with the mana of a peak seventh rank Awakened that Rex probably can't hope to penetrate through.

Brute force is his thing but against a peak seventh rank, he needs to be careful.

Just feeling the amount of mana inside the wall of wind makes Rex's danger sense rings violently, he then gritted before pulling Delta's head to the right.

Delta with the help of Rex's strength manages to turn right very hard,

There's a building on the right side of both of them, and without any hesitation, Delta started climbing it while Indira is already on their tails reaching forward with her hand.

But just as Indira was about to grab Delta's tail,

CRACK!

BOOM!!

Indira was pushed back after a black lightning strike descend from the sky, the black lightning strike hit Delta and Rex's bodies as the both of them slowly turns into lightning particles.

Since Delta also has lightning affinity, it's not that hard to turn Delta into lightning particles.

"RRGHH!!", Rex grunted as he puts his focus to the max.

Under Indira's eyes, Rex and Delta's bodies disappear into the sky, and not long after that Indira snapped her neck to her side as she saw another black lightning strike miles away.

Without wasting any second, Indira dashes to that black lightning strike.

The three of them travel through miles in a split second as they play cat and mouse, it's very hard to reach for Rex thanks to the Ether Blink he possesses.

Even with Indira's superior speed, she can't quite reach Rex.

Every time Rex and Delta are within her reach, Rex always uses the Ether Blink and creates a wide distance again between them.

It doesn't take long before they near Emham Forest,

When Rex used his Ether Blink again, he was about to take a sharp left but he suddenly sensed a very fast aura that is moving just like a meteor heading toward them.

Rex wanted to guide Delta to dodge this figure but it was too late,

BAM!!

Growl!

Just like getting hit by a bullet from the side, Delta got flung to the side as a figure literally crashed to the side of her body making blood gush out of her mouth.

It sent both Rex and Delta crashing away before hitting the building on their side.

After recovering from the attack, Rex looks at the figure and finds that it's another peak seventh rank Awakened that is definitely from the Atkins Family.

But when he was about to do something, a black crow landed on his shoulder.

"Do you need help?", the black crow said.

Hearing this, Rex shook his head and replied, "Just finish the other side quickly without me and meet me at Emham Forest, I got this"

"Okay", the black crow replied before vanishing again.

Meanwhile,

After getting teleported out of Rex's room, the others materialize in somekind of parking building where two cars are already waiting for them.

But Evelyn frowned when she saw not one of her men here,

From the side, Evelyn saw an injured man wearing a formal outfit limps his way approaching her and the others with blood flowing down his head.

"What happened?", Evelyn asks with a frown.

The man then lean on the right car before he said with rough breaths, "We got attacked by the Atkins Family, but we manage to handle it"

"There's also a man amongst them proclaiming he's one of us", he added.

Hearing this, Evelyn frowned but she then remembered what Rex whispered to her earlier.

"Let's go quickly, it's not safe here!", Adhara's father, Russ is the first one to act.

Since he's from the military, he knows how to handle dangerous situations as he ran to the car on the right before the injured man gets inside the driver's seat.

Russ wanted to drive but the man insisted that he was the one that drives,

After the man gets inside the driver's seat, Evelyn then asks, "Can you really still drive?"

"Don't worry lady, I'm still perfectly able to drive, and let me be the sacrifice in this one", the man said with a resolute expression while signaling to Evelyn with his eyes.

Looking at this, Evelyn was confused.

But the man then points at the handle of the driver's door, this prompted Evelyn to look at the driver's door before he saw a red plus mark.

From the looks of it, the mark is made with blood.

After seeing the mark on the handle of the driver's handle, Evelyn looks back at the man before she said, "I'll tell this to father, and I'll make sure that your family is compensated very well"

"Don't worry lady, I know that you will", the man replied with a smile.

Evelyn nodded her head before she signals for the parents to get inside the right car,

Mrs. Greene and Robert went inside the car before Evelyn said to them through the opened window of the backseat, "Remember what Rex said?"

Hearing this, all of them nodded their heads repeatedly including Russ in the front seat.

Although they remember what Rex said, Mrs. Greene and Robert are the palest, they're not used to these kinds of situations especially sitting in this particular car.

"Just crush it and you're going to be safe", Evelyn added before she walks back to Adhara.

Upon arriving in front of Adhara, Evelyn then asks, "Can you drive?"

Adhara nodded her head as she was taught by Russ to drive way back, she is confident in her driving skills and it will probably be useful in this kind of moment.

Evelyn nodded her head before she told Adhara to get in the left car.

Although confused, Adhara nodded her head and gets in the car.

Evelyn then helps Gistella who is unmoving into the left car where Adhara is already in the driver's seat, they both got on the left car shocking Adhara.

"Why are you all here?!", she exclaimed in confusion.

She then added as her confusion turns into worry, "Someone needs to take care of the other car!"

"Just trust in Rex, let's hurry and go to Emham Forest", Evelyn ignores Adhara's remarks and said, this makes Adhara's mouth close shut.

Adhara grabbed the steering wheel still hesitant,

Knowing her father is in the other car unprotected makes her hesitant, but Evelyn told her that this is Rex's doing and since Rex's parents are also there she finally calmed herself down.

She then turns on the engine before stepping on the gas,

VROOM!

With that, two cars left the parking building hurriedly.

Just as they got out of the parking building, Adhara saw a man leaning on the wall nonchalantly beside the exit of the parking building.

The man looks familiar in Adhara's eyes, 'Edward...?'

Meanwhile,

After the black crow vanishes again turning into green smoke, Rex focuses his eyes on the Awakened in front of him that has the power equivalent to Indira.

But when he scans the Awakened's stats, Rex's eyes burst with sky black lightning.

"You're a pain for our family, I'm sorry but this is not personal for me. Maybe for Wesley, it is, but not me", the man said while conjuring a powerful and big spear made of mana and spirit energy.

Rex realizes that he's going to use a first circle Pneuma Spell,

But instead of backing down, Rex's aura started to become even more chaotic as the sky started to rumble with thunderclouds.

Feeling the change in the air, the man started to feel an ominous feeling.

Although Rex is only an Awakened that has just reached the seventh rank realm, the man knows that he can't underestimate Rex since his progression is very terrifying.

Without wasting any second, "Pneuma Spell! Dismantling Spear!"

"Ultimate Spell! Sky Imprisonment!!"

SWOOSH!

BLITZ!!

Both Rex and the man sent their spells simultaneously to each other,

The dismantling spearheads toward Rex in a blink of an eye, but Rex already activates his Berserker's Curse as a red moon symbol appears on his forehead and summons two barriers.

One is a red force barrier while the other is a black lightning barrier,

But just like what Rex expected, the two barriers he made shatter upon colliding with the dismantling spear before stabbing Rex on his stomach pinning him to the ground.

"Hkuaahk!"

On the other side, the man also got zapped by four dragon-like lightning strikes.

Even with his body covered with a powerful shield made of wind mana, the four dragon-like black lightning strikes pierce through easily before biting each of his limbs.

"AARGHH!!"

Both of them got heavily injured from the opposing spells,

Rex grabs the spear that is tearing his insides with its violent wind, he coughs another mouthful of blood while he gritted his teeth and pulls the spear slowly.

"Rrrghhh!", he grunted painfully as the spear is stuck in his stomach.

Delta who had already stood up helps Rex by biting the spear handle, under both of their powers the spear finally jolted out of Rex's stomach.

Clang!

With the spear pulled out, the red moon symbol disappears from Rex's forehead.

The gaping wound on his stomach started to heal at a rapid pace, he then looks at the man and saw him imprisoned by the four dragon-like black lightning strikes.

He can't use any spell or even retaliate, Rex's spell rendered him unable to do anything.

But Rex didn't inspect the man for too long as he looks at Delta,

Delta is hurt but she still can run as none of her bones manage to get broken from the attack, it's all thanks to the Ring of Tetuka that made her still functional.

After inspecting Delta, Rex gets on top of Delta again before he gave her a healing elixir.

Thanks to that, Delta started to recover her strength again before they both runs again leaving the seventh rank Awakened imprisoned by the four dragon-like black lightning strikes.

Just a moment after they left,

Indira who got dusted by Rex's Ether Blink spell before arrived and saw one of her comrades imprisoned by Rex's spell, she was shocked to see this.

"I-Indira! Help m-me!", the man struggles to mutter the words.

Hearing this, Indira tries to help the man but the four dragon-like black lightning strikes that are still connected to the sky roared pushing her back.

The amount of power was too much even for her,

When she was deliberating about just leaving the man, Out of nowhere a car arrived near them and stop just a few steps away from them.

The car is a black sedan and the license plate that has an eagle badge on it,

Just the eagle on the license plate alone made Indira realizes the person inside the car.

After the car stopped, a man with green hair walks out nonchalantly.

This man is none other than Wesley Atkins, he just finished fighting with Stevanus and now he's here ready to finish the bad blood he has with Rex.

Hans is the one driving the car, but he didn't get out and just sits in the car.

"Sir Wesley!", Indira exclaimed before bowing her body.

Wesley ignores Indira as he looks at the man who is imprisoned by Rex's spell, there's a brutal look on his expression as he mutters, "What a powerful spell, he really is a threatening individual"

But after marveling at the spell, Wesley grabs the dragon-like black lightning strikes.

Just like when Indira touches it, the dragon-like black lightning strikes roared again but this time it didn't manage to push Wesley back at all!

With a smirk, Wesley tore the dragon-like black lightning strikes with his bare hands.

BLITZ!

As if the dragon-like black lightning strikes are nothing, Wesley manages to tear them and send them back to the sky canceling the spell.

The man falls to the ground still paralyzed under Wesley's cold eyes,

Wesley then looks in the direction of where Rex run off before he mutters with a nasty grin, "Today is going to be a very fun day, I'll enjoy killing him"
