Chapter 118 Mission Completed

After returning to Dragon Horn Village, Rex, Tim, and the others only got to rest for a few hours before they were interrupted the next day.

Though they were all extremely exhausted, they still forced themselves to attend the massive party that was organized by their employer to celebrate the successful rescue of his son.

Maximo pulled out all stops as he splurged money on this huge party.

Rex and the others reunited with Maxime and Sophia during this party, and this was when she heard about the death of her 2 teammates.

This news came as a bombshell to her though she had no real visible facial reaction. In the end, after a great party together, what set the mood at an all-time high was when Tim finally declared that Pain was dead.

At first, the people were shocked but once the severed head of this notorious criminal was displayed, the citizens of Dragon Horn Village went into a frenzy.

Most wept as all the others rejoiced, they were finally saved.

Tim did not hoard the glory to himself as he told the truth that Rex was the killer of the notorious criminal. Instantly, Rex took on a celebrity status here.

Though the guards prevented the citizens from getting close to him, Rex could feel the sheer joy, relief, and gratefulness that emanated from them.

As he sipped his beer, Rex savored this scene and imprinted it in his mind. Doing good things was nice, but it was even more satisfying when you are recognized, validated, and appreciated for it.

Just for moments like this where he could put smiles in people's faces, Rex was ready to continue doing good and he hoped that this could curb his tendencies to turn to the evil side to seek power.

As he savored the atmosphere, Rex instinctively touched the Affection necklace and caressed it, he wished Cassandra was here to witness this moment.

After the party was over, Maximo, Rex, and the others were called for an inter-village meeting to discuss how to officially bring an end to the Desert Cowboy Gang. With Pain dead, the notorious criminal gang was now vulnerable.

To complete the extermination plan, all that was needed was the continued cooperation of the Vengeance Army to hunt down every criminal base out there.

The war would only be over after the last criminal base was destroyed.

With the support from Rex, Aragorn and the others, everything was settled quickly as the massive raid to end this criminal organization started.

For the next 2 weeks, explosions kept on reverberating across the territory of the badlands as the Vengeance Army stormed the remaining criminal bases.

As the massacre continued, the criminal gang could no longer stay intact as it imploded from within. The remaining Intermediate Mystic Warriors in it vied to be the next leader and this internal war caused its faster breakdown.

Though after using his Overload skill, all his stats were suppressed by 60% for 1 month, Rex was still a danger to any basic mystic warrior.

Alongside his other pals in the elite team, they continued raid after raid until the last criminal base of the Desert Cowboy Gang finally succumbed.

"What in the name of freaking Jesus!"

"What?"

"Umm, nothing…"

Aragorn and the others looked at Rex weirdly but he did not give a damn as he was literally over the moon already, he was currently in cloud 9 chilling out.

When he thought he already saw it all, his system presented him with something new that kept on leaving him astonished.

Due to previous encounters with his system, Rex had made comparisons of his system being similar to VR games and now, he was sure. This new perk that was exposed by his system just gave him another powerful trump card for the future.

Rex followed the others of the elite team to go celebrate their success in eradicating the Desert Cowboy Gang, and this was when Maximo met them to give them each a cheque of 50,000 Dragon Horn Credits.

After most of the others drank till stupor, Rex excused himself and rushed home to the inn where he hired to stay in the village.

After these series of events and the main mission, he now had so many system currencies to spend to make himself more powerful that he could not wait to use them all. Rex was ready to splurge them all and grow stronger.

After getting to the inn, Rex locked the door before sitting cross-legged in the middle of his room as he finally fully accessed his system.

After everything that happened lately, Rex gained 7000 skill points, 350 free stat points, 100 constitution points, 200 vitality, and 1280 mystic energy limits.

This was a ridiculous amount of currency that Rex never expected to gain. Now, he was spoiled to spend these currencies lavishly on himself.

Rex did not hesitate to start spending.
