Chapter 544 Effect From The Queen’s Bloody Plead

Like pulsating sky-shattering energy that stabs the approaching dawn like a spear piercing flesh, their eyes bare witness to the might of the newly born King. Replacement for the incompetent Dark Prince that has been spoiled by those who hunger for power.

Rex's energy starts to critically reach its limit as his body engulfs in endless energy.

KABOOM!!

With the addition of his very high physical stats that are definitely way higher than any other stats that he has ever seen before, the activated Pure Brace of Moonlight, and Red Force pushes his bodily prowess to the absolute limit.

Everyone watches this with their eyes opened wide, reluctant to miss even a second of this.

One of the very surprised ones is Queen Shanaela and Seth that felt their heart sink to the bottom of their stomach feeling the energy coming from Rex, their shocked expression shows that their foreign to such strength in this current time.

'N-No... I don't know if King Baralt can beat him'

'It's rivaling the Kings... just why? WHY?! Why would this kind of Werewolf side with the humans!'

Denial starts to be a prominent power that waves in their hearts as they are too shocked by the strength exposed by Rex, they are not able to accept that such Werewolf sides with the humans.

If Rex is on their side, the humans will definitely succumb to their fear.

The Era of the Supernaturals will finally come true, the dream of the current Supernaturals.

But that dream started to get further and further away witnessing yet another huge obstacle that made humans a race that can't be beaten, the memories back before when they were humiliated and sealed came back to their heads.

'Is this it... are we going back to being slaves again?'

Queen Shanaela clenched her fists finding that the event is hard to swallow, she even shed a tear.

Living under the domination of the ancient humans for countless millenniums, the pain of her life having no dignity, and even having to watch her loved ones tortured and butchered. It's enough to shatter the hearts of even a being that lived for countless eras.

It's like the world has always been siding with the human race, and Queen Shanaela can't accept it.

Out of nowhere, a wave of strength pushes Queen Shanaela to crawl forward disregarding the powerful shockwaves coming from Rex heightening his energy, she crawls under the gazes of the others.

"Shanaela! Don't do anything rash and stupid!", Seth called out whisperingly.

She turns dear ears towards the warning as she kept crawling on the ground with her hands, the pain all over her body is still there. It's only due to this wave of strength and willpower that she's able to crawl like this.

"Akhh!"

Queen Shanaela yelped upon touching the dense energy surrounding Rex's body like a barrier.

It almost tore her arm off from just touching the dense energy.

Gritting her teeth as the painful memories resurfaced back in her mind, bright golden energy that feels sacred and holy covered her body before slowly she pushes forward. A painful groan escape her mouth from touching the dense energy just like before.

But this time, she forces her entire body to get inside the dense energy despite the pressure.

Rex who is focusing on coursing the power inside of him under control doesn't realize this, but that changed when he suddenly felt something grabbing his ankle. Looking down, he finds Queen Shanaela gazing up tearing blood from her eyes.

"P-Please... I don't know where your hatred comes from"

Coughing a mouthful of blood, Queen Shanaela gazes back up and continued.

"But the war... it's way bigger than yourself. It's not only about you or me. Give me a chance and I'll help you end this war without unnecessary bloodshed! I'm begging you, please!"

Upon hearing this, Rex's expression turns dark and unreadable.

Everyone was surprised that Queen Shanaela actually managed to crawl inside despite brutally hurting her body in the process, it even seems like she will be crushed to death any moment now from the sheer pressure of the dense energy.

Not one of them know how to reach this, but then suddenly,

Swoosh!

BAM!

Like a raging tidal wave, the dense energy contracted before shattering into nothingness.

Feels like a weight has been lifted from their lungs when the dense energy that Rex exposed vanished, the others are finally able to breathe again including Giana who is a ninth-rank Awakened herself.

The others then saw Queen Shanaela grabbing Rex's ankle weakly.

With the blood tears decorating her face, she kept grabbing Rex's ankle despite the golden energy from before has vanished. Although subtle, the others can hear a whispering word coming out of Queen Shanaela's mouth, "P-Please..."

It's a weird scene as they didn't hear what she said because of the dense energy.

Adhara, Evelyn, Kyran, and even Giana frown upon seeing this as they didn't hear what Queen Shanaela said. Rex is the only one that hears what she said, and this makes the others wonder curiously.

Out of nowhere, a shout filled with bloodlust and anger resounded.

"QUEEN SHANAELA!! GET UP!!"

Turning their gazes to the direction of the shout, Seth turns out to be the one that shouted that.

With widened bloodlust red eyes coupled with the veins popping on his neck, Seth looks at Queen Shanaela with clear anger as if he just saw his own mother being killed. It's an anger that comes out of nowhere and instills him with the will to force Queen Shanaela to stand up.

But having only sixth rank power, Seth can't fight off the rampaging energy inside of him.

It was only sheer willpower that he managed to stagger forward wanting to force Queen Shanaela to stand up, "DON'T YOU DARE GROVEL TO HIM! HE'S NOT A SUPERNATURAL, HE'S A HUMAN!!"

Although it's weird to witness such a scene, the expression on Rex's face seems to change.

Out of the others that are present right now, only Adhara seems to see the change in his expression. It also makes her frown seeing that Rex's emotional aura turns from dark red to greyish blue for a brief moment, 'What did that elf say to turn his aura into that...?'

'It can't be sadness or serenity, don't tell me... hesitance?!'

Rex watches the scene happening in front of him with his usual stoic expression, no one can see through the meaning behind his eyes right now. But it was quickly washed off by anger,

BAM!

With nothing but a kick to the face, he sent Queen Shanaela flying away crashing beside Seth.

Pointing at the sky, Rex then chanted lightly, "Ultimate Spell, Sky Imprisonment..."

CRACK!

BLITZ!!

Queen Shanaela and Seth got chained down by four dragon-like black lightning strikes from that quick chant from Rex, they can't move as they're completely suppressed by the spell. It was not effective to Queen Shanaela though as she seems to be already unconscious.

"Leave this place now, I'll meet with you guys after I'm done"

Upon hearing this, the others were stunned for a moment before they nodded their heads.

Rex will be going to the Vampire Stronghold to convince Giana even though the trust inside of her is already increasing as he speaks, but he already said it and he's a man of his word.

"Be careful...", Evelyn said before she turned around and jumps away.

Giana uses her arcane mana to lift the surviving Awakened before she followed Evelyn alongside Kyran, they are probably going to the nearest city that has a teleportation formation to get back.

Adhara stayed behind a little longer, she looks at Rex weirdly before she too left.

With the others leaving him alone, Rex looks down to the ground for a solid couple of seconds before raising his head once again. But as he steadies his breathing and mind, a notification from the system suddenly appeared.

<Sudden Quest!>

In order to help Giana perceive the user as an ally to humanity despite being a Werewolf, the user has promised to take down the Vampire Stronghold and which will be a loud and clear message of the user's side. Destroy the Vampire Stronghold and declare the user's innocence to humanity!

Time Limit: 2 Hours

Quest Reward: 100,000,000,000 Exp, Enhanced Spirit Core Reforming, and Skill Upgrade Ticket

Just like he expected the system has issued a sudden quest for his promise to Giana, but the notification that follows after it is something that Rex didn't expect at all.

<5% of the user's soul has been extracted!>

'Extracted...?', Rex mutters inwardly with a frown, he doesn't understand why his soul got extracted.

<Super Berserk Quest will continue to cripple the user's soul until the required task has been accomplished, it will extract the user's soul little by little until the user ceased to exist. Having the user's soul extracted will not reduce battle prowess, but it will attack the user's mind. It will get worse over time, and end up in madness>

Upon reading this, Rex can't help but sigh as he needs to kill Ruston to make this stop.

'Let's destroy the Vampire Stronghold first'

When Rex was about to say something to Flunra so they can head to the Vampire Stronghold, his ears suddenly perked up before he glances to the side. It freezes his body for a moment before he summons Devo from his shadow.

Pointing at both Seth and Queen Shanaela, he then said, "Bring them with us"

"Okay, but just know that your power has surpassed the limit. My physical existence can't bear that much power so I am still in the peak seventh rank realm", Devo explained clearly which incite a nod from Rex's head.

After Devo grabs both of them, Rex commands Flunra before they all disappear from the place.

Of course, even though he wanted to store the Werewolves that died from the battle, he chose not to and just store Ian and Zegrath's corpses in the inventory and leave the others here unattended. Out of all of them, those two corpses are a must to possess.

Just a minute later since they left,

There are many vicious auras that emerged from the west side of the place. From their uniforms, they must've been Cessation Knights. Not only on a platoon of them came here, but there are at least five platoons consisting of twelve Cessation Knights each.

Out of the five platoons, two figures are emitting horrifying energies.

Based on the rigorous energy that cloaked their entire body like a blanket, they are at the very least early or mid eigth-rank Awakened. All of them are ready with their weapons for an unavoidable fight.

Landing on the destroyed desolate plain, the two eighth-rank Awakened scan the place.

Without needing to look for a longer time, the two of them realize that there's been a fight here from the scenery filled with battle scars and also the leftover rampaging energy that is sharp enough for them to feel the power behind it.

Upon seeing the Werewolves' carcasses, both of them look at each other with a frown.

"Control report, I've arrived at the place but only saw Werewolf carcasses. Lady Giana must've been saved already from the looks of it, but we also sense powerful energy coming from this place. It sparks the changes in the sky"

"From what we feel, whatever it is should have a ninth-rank power..."

Meanwhile, Vampire Stronghold.

SWOOSH!!

An air-piercing sound suddenly rang on the Supernaturals inside the Vampire Stronghold's ears, it sounded like a very fast bullet piercing the wind and it was getting louder by the second. Aside from that, they also feel an enormous pressure pressing on them.

Feeling this enormous pressure, two figures stepped out of their domains.

Both figures emit powerful energy, one is a Vampire while the other is an Undead. Judging from the clothes of the Vampire it's clear that he's from a Royal Family, while the Undead has even more overbearing energy compared to the Vampire.

Despite the fancy robed while floating, the Undead has an even greater trait than that.

Five grimoires are levitating his upper body with three black skulls made of Death Energy hovering around it in a circle, the magic runes and unknown formations are like written ornaments of its deathly robe.

Without a doubt, the death energy emitted by this Undead is denser than the normal death energy.

Only three types of powerful Undead can wield this kind of death energy, pure death energy, and the one known for it the most is certainly the Death Knight. It's a being that emits power and demands respect from those that lays their eyes on it.

"Are the humans attacking despite their futile attempt?"

"They're humans, their pride back then is supported by their power but now they're nothing"

Upon the brief conversation between the Undead and the Vampire, a Vampire on the wall looks down with an urgent expression, "It's not humans! It's a Werewolf, and it's heading towards us!", the Vampire shouted.

This sparks a disbelief look on both of the powerful figures' faces.

Both of them jumped onto the wall before their eyes witnessed the approaching Werewolf, the glowing King Mark shows that it's definitely the one that caused the Night of Parturition. It can't help but made both figures scoff.

"Werewolf with King Mark...?", the Undead looks at this in surprise.

Unlike the demons and the Vampires that know of Rex's presence, the Undead has no clue and just now witnesses the anomaly that has made the Vampire, Werewolf, and Demon kingdom in turmoil.

Seeing this, the Vampire smiles in ridicule, "Hmph! He overestimates his power!"

"With the current power this world can hold, not even King Solomon can easily destroy our barrier. Prepares to call for backup, King Lax'rad, and King Solomon would want to see this..."

Rex dashes like a black arrow heading towards the Vampire Stronghold without pulling back his strength, he bares it all for anyone to see. Clenching his right fist tightly, he activates his Claw of Tormentor skill and also the rune engraved by Flunra before.

It filled his arm with an insurmountable amount of power as his eyes flashes fiercely.

When he was about to reach the red barrier covering the entire Vampire Stronghold, the rune on the back of his hand creates another mirror of itself and sticks to the red barrier while the energy from it sizzles like steam.

Putting everything he has into his arm, Rex punches the red barrier with all his might.

RUMBLE!

Upon punching the red barrier on top of the mirrored rune, the entire red barrier trembles alongside the ground from the massive explosion Rex's punch created. It sent an imminent shock to the Supernaturals inside the Vampire Stronghold.

Even the powerful Vampire is included as he can't believe that Rex's punch is this powerful.

The powerful Vampire and Undead look up to the point of contact between Rex's fist and the red barrier in surprise, but their surprise grew when they saw a thin line created on the red barrier.

"It- It cracked?!!!"
