Flunra also wears the same expression as Evelyn right now, he was also startled to see the two staked figures after the red gate portal shatters and reveals another realm that is emitting a horrendous bloody scent and shaded by crimson color.
Not only that, but the bloodlust coming from this crimson realm is outright horrifying.
Despite haven't been accepted by one of the full moons throughout his entire long life, he has seen many glimpses of the blood moon realm. But amongst one of them, the sheer bloodlust coming from this blood moon realm is the densest.
It even gives an illusion of being swallowed by a sea of blood and drowning inside it.
Blinking his eyes a couple of times to snap out of the hazy illusion brought by the blood moon realm, Flunra also recognized the two staked figures to be his Alpha, Rex. What's weird was the fact that there are two of them.
Evelyn's tears keeps on pouring while she was stunned to see the two figures.
Although she was conflicted on how to react when she realized that the two figures are identical to Rex, the sight of it makes clenched her heart tightly. Imagine seeing the person you love being staked through his/her mouth.
Something like that is traumatizing, even if it's not real.
While looking at the realm beyond the shattered gate, Evelyn realized that the swords stabbing the two figures are also similar. Evelyn's eyes slightly widen realizing the black and white swords, "It's Rex's swords! No doubt about it" she utters whisperingly.
Both swords are definitely the Amuerus Katana and Silver Eye belonging to Rex.
Evelyn has seen both of them and quickly recognized them, and this made hope emerges back into her heart knowing that these two figures are not Rex. It must be somekind of test inside the first trial.
Just as their eyes are searching for Rex, a figure suddenly landed in between the two impostors.
With his back facing against Evelyn and Flunra, the figure slowly straightens his spine while savoring the taste of victory in the air. Numerous gruesome wounds can be seen across his body, his clothes are tattered, and blood can be seen dripping all over.
Deep gashes and scratches can be seen on his legs, spiraling down all the way to his feet.
For someone to sustain such injuries, it's a miracle that this figure can still stand on his two feet. Even one of those injuries is able to send others to the hospital, but the figure sustains all of it without any sign of weakness.
Contrary to Evelyn that is focused on the figure's face, Flunra is looking at the figure's bloodied hand.
Squinting his eyes Flunra finds that the figure is carrying something big in his hand, he tries to find out what it is but soon he can't help but took a step back in utter terror. 'I-Is that the Lunirich God of the Blood Moon's head?!!' he exclaimed inside his head.
The figure turns out to be holding a big head of a Werewolf by its fur.
Flunra guessed that it was the Lunirich God of the Blood Moon's head because of the size and fur of the Werewolf head carried by the figure's hand, it's half the size of the figure's body and also covered in red furs.
If the Werewolves in ancient times can see this right now, they would definitely vomit blood.
Slowly, the figure looks over his shoulder and saw Evelyn and Flunra.
But his eyes were fixed on Evelyn that has her face drenched in tears, the smirk on his face faded and was exchanged for a concerned frown, "Evelyn... ? Why are you crying?" the figure asked lightly, his familiar voice echoed inside the great hall.
Realizing that the figure is none other than Rex, Evelyn's eyes get even teary.
For a brief second there she thought that one of the staked figures are the actual Rex, she feels an ultimate relief inside her heart as the tight grip around her heart disappears. Evelyn can't contain her smile as she gets up and quickly runs to Rex who is inside the blood moon realm.
"Hey, don't come here yet!" Rex warned but she didn't heed his warning and give him a big hug.
Evelyn's blazing red hair flutters and swayed beautifully as she ran towards Rex, she then quickly wraps her arms around Rex's waist before she buried her face into his chest. "Errghh... don't be too hard on me" Rex groaned, feeling a sting on the wounds on his body that got pressed.
Instead of loosening her grip, Evelyn tightens even more as she started sobbing profusely.
Upon seeing this Rex can only smile lightly and rubs her head, he understands why she's being like this. It's a level six championship after all, the others are probably worried sick as he might as well die inside the trial.
And to be honest, he might've died there if not for their feelings resonating and clearing his mind.
What once filled with silence is now filled with Evelyn's echoing wails as Rex tries to calm her down by rubbing her head, the feeling of relief is so unbelievable for Evelyn right now, and the others would probably feel the same way when they know that Rex has come back.
From the back, Rex saw Flunra standing by the shattered portal with a clear shock on his face.
But unlike Evelyn who is glad to see him coming back, Flunra's eyes were fixated on the Werewolf head that Rex dropped beside him. "I-Is that what I think it is...?" Flunra asked with a soft voice, he feels surreal right now.
"Yes, it's exactly what you think" Rex replied before exposing a light smirk.
~
A moment before the red gate portal shattered.
Blitz!
Crack!!
Rex looks up at the two lightning meteors that are falling from the sky towards him, the lightning meteors' movement is very fast that it even made Rex feel that they were staying in place. In truth, the two lightning meteors are blazing straight at him.
But there's not a hint of worry on Rex's face, he's as calm as streaming water.
Only Kaiser was the one who is sitting on the edge wanting the two copies of Rex that he made to end Rex's life right here and right now, this is the last showdown where the result of the fight would definitely be concluded.
In a fraction of a second when the two lightning meteors were about to hit, a brilliant light glows.
Just when the two lightning meteors were about to crash into Rex directly, a bright white glow blasted into the surrounding. The two figures inside the lightning meteors saw the bright white glow before their eyes widened completely.
Soon enough, their widened eyes exploded into blood paste, blinding them.
KABOOM!
Two destructive explosions were created when the two lightning meteors crashes onto the ground, and the thin blood alongside the mountain peak for the first time rumbled violently from the sheer power of the explosions.
It shows just how powerful those attacks were to be able to shake the mountain peak.
Even when they were clashing violently against each other before they were not able to do something like this, they can't even crack the mountain peak. But this time, there are some cracks here and there appearing on the mountain peak.
Upon seeing this, Kaiser leans forward on his throne wanting to see Rex's body lying on the ground.
From two destructive attacks, there's no way that Rex is surviving that. At least that is what Kaiser thought, but his thought was broken instantly when a figure penetrate the residual black smoke like a bullet.
"WHAT?! THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE!" Kaiser exclaimed upon seeing that Rex survived the attack.
Swaying the Amuerus Katana alongside the Silver Eye in both of his hands in the air, Rex heads to the two figures that are still recovering their eyes that exploded suddenly earlier. Without the two figures able to react, Rex stabs both weapons into their mouths.
Stab!
Rex jabbed their chins from below and punctured his weapons all the way through their brains.
Although he was strong enough to sustain all kinds of injuries that are considered fatal for Awakened or normal humans, a stab through the head would definitely kill him. With that, the two figures lost their strength and finally died.
Fuming in absolute anger, Kaiser grips the handles of his throne with glaring eyes.
Even though Rex has seen quite a bit of terrifying sights throughout his journey in the military and also as a Werewolf, he feels the strands of hair on his neck stand up from seeing the expression Kaiser is wearing right now.
But there's no need to be afraid, Rex is sure that there are rules here.
If Kaiser wanted him to die here then he could just use his power to destroy Rex completely, there would be nothing left of him if that were to happen. Not even a corpse to mourn for. But the fact still stands, he didn't do anything like that.
Moreover, Kaiser has not let out any aura whatsoever throughout Rex's time in this realm.
Just a moment before it suddenly hits Rex, he finds out that if this is the first trial then there must be a limit on how much power he can bring. Not only that, but it's clear that the rules Kaiser follows forbid him from engaging with Rex directly.
Putting on a sinister smile, Rex looks at Kaiser before he quickly disappeared into thin air.
Rex reappeared right in front of Kaiser who is even bigger up close, he was like a twentieth of Kaiser's size. But that didn't dissuade Rex from keeping on going, he gather as much power as he can into his claws making his arm tremble violently.
Swoosh!
Combinations of powers can be seen gathering to his claws, putting his attack to a new height.
"You're just an insect!! How dare you defy me, a God!!" Kaiser roared in absolute anger.
But Rex only replies with a slight smile as his eyes turn as vicious as Kaiser's eyes, "I've come too far to go back, I lost too many to just give up. No matter who stands in my path to power, no matter if they are a mortal or a God. I'll kill them, I'll kill them all..."
"I'll see you on the second trial, Kaiser of the Scarlet Garland!!"
SLASH!!
Rex slashed Kaiser's head cleanly and beheaded him.
Upon doing that and killing Kaiser inside his own realm, the blood moon realm started to tremble violently which caught Rex off guard. But then the huge crescent moon symbol above the throne splashed into red kingly energy and shot straight to Rex's King Mark.
Swoosh!
Like a greedy black hole, the King Mark swallowed the red kingly energy and started to change.
When the entire red kingly energy was absorbed by Rex's King Mark, an outer ring around the King Mark appeared. It's like the King Mark that is full moon-shaped got covered by an outer ring that was created by the new red kingly energy.
It's the sign of Rex reaching the first ascension, and he feels his body rejuvenated by that.
~
"It's not the actual Lunirich God of the Blood Moon, it's just a fragment of itself. But yes, I cleared all three obstacles and killed it" Rex explained, he managed to guess that the Kaiser he saw is only a fragment of itself. Not the actual Kaiser himself.
Upon hearing this, Flunra finally understands. But it still didn't wipe the awe in his eyes.
Although it was only a fragment of Kaiser of the Scarlet Garland, no Werewolves were able to do that. Usually, if they finished the trial then they would be paying their respect to the Lunirich God associated with them before leaving through the portal again.
But Rex actually killed the Lunirich God's fragment, and that alone is an impressive feat.
Rex and Evelyn parted away when the blood moon realm started to shake, the portal is closing. Glancing at the two illusions he killed, a smile crept on his face as he puts back his weapons into the inventory and grabbed the two illusions by the head.
Sensing some kingly energy inside them, Rex slammed them together and shattered their bodies.
"Thanks for the boosting kingly energy, Kaiser..." he mutters cheekily.
Just like earlier, the new King Mark absorbed the kingly energy that gushed out of the two illusions before Rex pulled Evelyn and gets out of the blood moon realm, the great hall that overflowed with blood now turned normal again alongside the portal disappearing from the place.
Now that he's out, Rex feels the exhaustion infiltrating his entire body.
Due to that he becomes completely weak and falls onto one of his knees, but Evelyn helped to support him. Just then Rex realized something, "Why are you so cold, Evelyn?" he asked when he notice that Evelyn is cold to the touch.
Probably now that they're out of the blood moon realm Rex finally can feel the coldness.
"The Ice and Snow Full Moon has arrived already, it's the effect of the full moon" Flunra replied from the side, Evelyn's body is cold to the touch due to the fact that she was not making physical intimacy with the Alpha.
It's different for Flunra, he only needs to be around the Alpha's vicinity to deny the coldness.
Just as Rex said that he was startled by the system's notifications.
<Sudden Quest Completed!>
<Congratulation, the user has obtained 300 billion exp, Oracle of Moon Ability, Herald Mark, and Moon Ability: Brutal Impulse!>
<Level up!>
<Level up!>
Rex was excited to see that he managed to gain what he wanted successfully, he doubted himself before but thankfully managed to get his grip. And he got rewarded by that, 'Hah! If I wanted to, I don't even need the system's help!' Rex mutters inwardly with pride.
But as soon as he said that, a single notification appeared.
<Reinstating the Ice and Snow Full Moon effect, the user will suffer absolute coldness!>
"Arggh!" Rex feels a chilling cold attacking his entire body, his injuries are throbbing in pain because of this sudden chilling coldness that came out of nowhere. 'Wait, I take it back! Block the Ice and Snow Full Moon effect for a little bit longer!'
No notification appeared, and Rex slowly feel his body freezing, 'Fuck...'
