"It's over, surrender or die!" Rex repeated as he looked at Dave in the eye.
It was like the pause button was hit as every single warrior in this room went still. Though Ambition was still invisible and they could not see him, their instincts was still able to tell them that their gang leader was in danger.
In the silence and stillness, Rex's demand echoed loudly.
Surprisingly though, Dave laughed as he reciprocated and looked Rex in the eye. "Are you a fan of the old 20th century?"
Rex kept quiet, his cold ruthless eyes gave away his answer.
Dave laughed again. "No need to be so mean, if you've heard of marvel, then you've surely also heard of the avengers, I love that series man".
"I love Thanos the most, especially his words directed towards Thor".
Rex's eyes narrowed, Dave smiled. "You should have gone for the head".
Whoosh!
Ambition dragged the dagger, cutting Dave's neck in the process but instead of the expected blood to flow, only white light was reflected.
"Hahahaha!"
"Did you really think I won't be prepared for an assassination after hearing of your notorious strength and Ambition, your invisible companion?"
Dave appeared at the far corner of the room beside a machine that looked like a giant air conditioner. "This baby here is called a swap projector, it has teleportation abilities that can instantly replace me with a clone and teleport me anywhere instantaneously within my palace".
"I'm sorry Rex, the tides have turned".
"At this moment, 30,000 soldiers are surrounding my palace all prepped and ready to chop you into a million pieces".
"Surrender to me and join in the rise of the glorious Exquisite Empire".
Rex looked around the room, even without Dave confirming it, his danger senses already warned him of the danger that was all around him at this moment.
He was caught off-guard, he was already surrounded.
"What is your answer? Choose wisely Rex, I know you're a wise man". Dave urged him with a wide smile of victory smugly on his face.
Rex chuckled and smiled. "You want my answer?"
"Yes".
"You already know my answer".
Rex barely finished before 2 blood-curdling hisses reverberated all over the room and the palace as a whole. A familiar Spider was already wreaking havoc.
Even as Grey wreaked havoc, he put even more energy on spreading a dark mist through the air. In mere seconds, the sky turned grey from the thick mist that diffused into the atmosphere and the clouds.
Rex laughed. "Back to you, you should have also gone for the head".
"Kill him!" Dave screamed at the top of his voice as his warriors instantly went into action, shooting and rushing closer to attack Rex.
The funny thing was that amid all the attacks, Rex stood still with a smile on his face. Another invisible enemy, this one of dust already struck.
King's Illusion Sorcerer ability was able to catch all the warriors off-guard, sucking them into an illusion. While they believed that they were attacking Rex, they were actually attacking each other as blood filled the room.
The scene of these warriors killing themselves was chilling.
On seeing this scene, Dave felt a chill crawl down his spine. Without hesitation, he activated the swap projector again as he teleported outside the room. Instantly after he moved, Rex followed.
On getting outside the gang leader's building, Rex confirmed Dave's words, an army of 30,000 mystic warriors already surrounded him.
The sight of so many warriors was intimidating but Rex was not fazed. The sight only made his blood to boil hotter as he grabbed Berserker tighter.

This time, Rex no longer held back, he erupted with all his strength.
By spamming 4 master level skills one after the other, Rex erupted like an Asura from hell after the escaping Dave. With the ultimate defense, he rushed through the army of warriors while incinerating them with fire.
His 2 sword skills tore a hole through the enemy's defense formation.
Almost immediately after Rex moved, already in his domain, Dave regained his confidence as this 6th tier Advanced mystic warrior turned to face him.
Standing alongside him in the middle of his army were 3 mystic warriors, his 2nd in command who was a 4th tier Advanced mystic warrior and 2 other Advanced mystic warriors, they would lead the slaughter against Rex.
"Kill him!" Dave roared as the army clashed against Rex.
Rex did not back down from this challenge despite the numbers advantage, this time, he gave in to his irrationality as he lost himself in the battle.
With Grey's dark mist diffusing the atmosphere and reducing visibility, the advantage of the enemy's outrageous numbers was reduced to the bare minimum, presenting the perfect scenario for all of them to shine.
King, Grey, and Storm ran riot around a circular formation, annihilating dozens of mystic warriors every second as they escorted their master to the front where Dave and his close confidants were.
When the distance closed, Rex initiated with a master level sword skill.
Thunder rumbled in the dark sky as a mighty wind accompanied Rex's sword after he activated the Master of the Elements sword skill.
With the sharp edge of his blade, he cut every obstacle apart. The main enemies dodged the mighty attack but Rex was not fazed as he improvised.
His incredible swordmanship was put in play at this moment.
With Grey, King, and Storm protecting him from the surrounding army of 30,000 warriors, he fought against these 4 Advanced mystic warriors alone.
Rex swung his sword more than a dozen times every second as he clashed against 4 different weapons and different battle styles alone.
It was hard, but with him blasting at full gear, Rex overwhelmed his opponents with his incredible swordmanship that was simply out of this world.
Whoosh!
The sword blade swept across with the momentum of a raging tsunami.
-----
You have killed an Advanced mystic warrior!
You have gained 3,500 mystic energy points!

In this uneven battle that was against him, not only was Rex able to stand to the challenge and resist, but he ended up killing one of the enemies first.
They've heard rumors of Rex's strength, but not to this extent.
Dave and his warriors saw a demon on human flesh fighting against them. Alone in enemy territory, Rex and his beasts resisted an army of over 30,000, dominating even, this was the perfect display of a one-man army.
"Monster!" Dave was horrified.
After killing the first Advanced mystic warrior, with his red glowing eyes, Rex rode the momentum as he morphed into his Bear-man form.
In this state, his strength increased again to an even more ridiculous level as he crashed through all their defenses till, he arrived before his 2nd victim.
The Advanced mystic warrior stood no chance before Rex's ridiculous strength, Rex slammed his 2 palms against both his ears, smashing his brain in the process as blood blossomed like blossoming flowers in spring.
Dave and his 2nd in command were the only Advanced mystic warriors now alive, Rex pounced on them with renewed energy, he was indeed a demon right now and both warriors were horrified.
Dave teleported away with the swap projector, abandoning his 2nd in command but Rex abandoned this warrior and went after Dave himself.
For 8 minutes straight, while his beasts fought against the overwhelming army of 30,000, Rex chased the enemy gang leader all over his palace.
Dave ran till he was finally cornered by an invisible opponent.
Having been stalking him since, like the perfect assassin, Ambition ambushed Dave and this time he took Dave's advise by going for the head.
Once the window of opportunity opened, in a second, Ambition's dagger stabbed more than 40 times, poking countless holes into the head of this gang leader until his head was no more than a bloody sieve.
Dave died a miserable death.
For the umpteenth time that day, the Exquisite army was intimidated by the display of a single warrior, Rex broke all the laws of the mystic world that they thought they previously knew, he was simply a demon.
Instantly after Dave died, his 2nd in command abandoned the Exquisite army as he ran for his life. He was fast, but he was not faster than wind itself.
Whoosh!
Storm rode the wind with Rex riding it as they appeared before the enemy in an instant. The Advanced mystic warrior paused in his steps as the sharp edge of Rex's Berserker slightly cut his throat open.
"You know what to do".
This warrior only had to look up at Rex's glowing red eyes filled with bloodlust before he agreed, he shot a signal into the air.
Then he roared. "Drop your weapons!"
The Exquisite Gang submitted before a single warrior and his beasts.
This battle was one that already made its way into the history books as one of the anomalies of the age of awakening, Rex was an anomaly.
