Splash!
Under the intense pressure, surpassing anything that Rex thought was possible, the meat of his arms started to get torn to shreds. Muscles, tendons, ligaments, and even bones were being torn apart, dying the ground around him crimson.
It was a great spectacle to behold, this is the most intense struggle in his life.
Both of his feet started to sink deeper into the ground while the collective claws pressured him from above, his nerves are sending danger signals to his brain rapidly, stating that one wrong move and he might be crushed completely.
Rex couldn't lose a moment of focus in this situation.
Death is already knocking on the door to his soul, he could feel its palpable cold sensation.
'Damn it, is the Invincible Item not enough...?!'
Albeit the Invincible Item has already brought him up to his body's fullest potential, the attack from the Lunirich Gods still surpassed that. He would need to do something if he didn't want to actually die here.
'System, recommend me an item to increase my power temporarily!' Rex exclaimed.
<Searching for the appropriate item...>
<Completed!>
<Does the user wants to buy and use Treaty of Infernal Physique for 5 million gold?>
<Please bear in mind that there will be a requirement to complete after using the item>
'Buy it! I don't care!'
Regardless of what the requirements are, it's definitely going to be way better than dying here. Rex didn't want to waste any time and buy the item, he needs to do this quickly, or else it would've been too late.
Crash!
Out of nowhere, Rex's legs gave out and he got slammed to the ground.
Now he got stuck in a difficult situation where his back is against the ground. In addition, the claws were inches away from his body being held back by nothing but Rex's arms that were desperately trying to resist the pressure.
But it was then, the Treaty of Infernal Physique started to take effect.
<Congratulation, the user's body has been developed into an infernal physique temporarily!>
<All stats has been increased by 100%>
Upon seeing the two notifications from the System, Rex saw his body started swelling and he became even bigger. A weird energy pulses alongside his blood, pumping him with power that enhances his bodily power immensely.
In regards to this, he intended to stand up but he was surprised to find he still couldn't.
'Oh, no. This is bad...' Rex thought, looking down at his legs that were pinned on the ground. 'The position I'm in right now is not optimal, I couldn't use the strength in my legs to help me sustain the attack. I could only use 40% of my strength in this position'
Rex couldn't push the claws back with his upper body alone.
Since he was now lying on the ground with the pressure from the claws attacking him from above, he couldn't use his legs, and he was completely stuck. If he were standing like earlier, then he would be fine.
The power from the claws started to become rampant, striking the places around them.
While he was trying his best to stay alive under this attack, the Countess who was also doing the same whispered to him in sorrow, "Don't let the attack hit, Royal Black Prince. I beseech you..." She pleaded desperately.
If the claws hit the ground, then the entire Endless Field of Hyacinth will be destroyed.
Upon hearing this, Rex could only click his tongue, 'Even if you say that how can I prevent that from happening? I could only barely stay alive, and the outcome of me is still not clear here yet'
But as if responding to his emotion, the kingly energies started to move weirdly.
Rex widened his eyes when he saw the cracks on his skin due to the kingly energy from the two King Marks slithering towards his hands, moving in a slow yet steady manner until eventually focused on his hands.
Surprisingly, the two kingly energies started to complement each other and merge together.
'I thought the Invincible Item only shows my fullest potential and has a time limit?'
<Yes, the Invincible Item is an item that would show the user's full potential. But this item also has the effect of blocking one attack. Since the attack from the Lunirich Gods was still going, the Invincible Item wouldn't lose its effect until it was done>
Nodding his head, Rex's eyes flashed as he now had a chance.
Swish!
Harnessing the combined kingly energy, he also tries to move the kingly energy on his own. The Invincible Item might not allow him to attack using this power, but it will definitely allow him to strengthen himself.
Disregarding his entire body, he only focused the kingly energies on his arms.
"Rrrrggghhh!!"
Rex grunted as he pushes the claws back with immense difficulty and managed to reach a sitting position, he now needs to stand up but that's way harder than it sounds. He could feel that if he force it, then he would slip and get slammed to the ground again.
But it was at that dire moment between risking everything or dying, he felt something.
Glancing over his shoulders to the ground, his eyes widened finding that the ground beneath him turned into a pool of blood. An enchanting voice then whispered in his ears, "Hey... I have an idea, but I want to ask permission from you to do this"
Rex instantly recognized the voice, it was Calidora's voice.
"What are yo-"
Just before he could finish, Calidora whispered something that made his eyes enlarged.
pandasnovel.com It was a daunting idea that requires both bravery and boldness.
This idea strikes Rex's brain like a needle shock as he couldn't believe what Calidora is planning to do. But even then, he can't undermine that idea as a bad one. If he wants to be perfectly honest that idea is simply brilliant and undeniably wicked.
Rex praised her inside his mind. However, that idea is not optimal for this situation.
"No, the Countess doesn't want to let the attack hits and destroy this place. I'll- I'll need to disintegrate this attack. But if push comes to shove, and I grghh- failed... do what you need to do" Rex said with a stern voice that doesn't want to be rebuked.
Upon hearing this, Calidora could only sigh, "Okay, if you say so..."
Focusing back on the catastrophic descending claws, Rex decided that he was going to risk it. But then, he suddenly felt cursed and blood energy enveloping his body from behind, coating him like some sort of arm.
"Calidora, are you sure you're staying? You might die" Rex utters in surprise.
But Calidora didn't answer and instead help Rex push himself back to his feet, her body emerged from the pool of blood with both of her hands on Rex's back, "I'll give you my power, so use everything you got"
Listening to this, Rex smiled lightly before he nodded his head.
<The user has been coated with armor made of curse and blood energy!>
<All stats have been increased dramatically!>
It was when the cursed and blood energy got transferred onto him, Rex glared back at the claws and also the eight glowing moons in the sky that were flickering, almost as if the Lunirich Gods were mocking his futile attempt.
"RAARRGGHH!!"
Kaboom!
Rex lets out a thunderous roar, his power exploded like a nuke, creating violent shockwaves.
Each of the shockwaves was pulsating with immense power, the power of an eleventh-rank realm being that surpassed the power limit in the modern era. It was so powerful that the reality around him cracked.
Since the Lunirich Gods came from a higher plane, he was also teleported to their dimension.
In the actual world, from Delta's perspective, for instance, she couldn't see anything except for Rex getting pressured down by an invisible force. But when his power exploded, Delta was surprised to see a powerful reign of energy come out from a void crack.
A pathway between the higher plane and the mortal plane was created because of him.
Likewise, being able to see the intense attack of the Lunirich Gods, Calidora decided to help. Aside from giving Rex her powers, her eyes also glowed red brighter as she activates the power that many Vampires envied her for.
"Eyes of Terror!"
Splash!
Despite knowing that it would only be of little help, Calidora was utterly surprised.
Not only was the power from the claws overwhelming, but she felt her entire body shiver when she made contact with the energy. On top of that, her eyes and nose started to bleed the instant she use her Eyes of Terror power.
But that little help is the only Rex needed to get back to his feet.
Garnering more power into his claws which were now sizzling violently with the merged kingly energies, Rex pauses for a second to focus his merged kingly energies into the tip of his claws before he clenched both of his hands.
It was then, his merged kingly energies pierced through the claws.
Almost like tree roots or blood vessels, his kingly energies spread inside the claws like multiple snakelets that are trying to disrupt the flow of energy inside of the claws. This puts a powerful strain on Rex's body.
Even more so considering that many chunks of his body were missing right now.
<Weakness point located!>
Rex also already tries to scan using the System while he made contact with the claws, hoping that the System would be able to find a weak point of the attack. And now, it seems that has paid off.
"I survived..."
Grinning mischievously, he controls the merged kingly energies to attack the weak point.
Splash!
Upon focusing on the weak point and taking down the entirety of the energy flow of the claws, the energy inside becomes unstable, and the attack wobbled for a good five seconds before eventually.
KABOOM!!
One more twist and the claws dispersed completely, vanishing from the spot.
Since he aimed at the weak point of the attack with his merged kingly energies, the claws didn't explode and instead only dispersed. Normally, an energy-related attack would explode when it came in contact with a stronger opposing attack.
Rex usually overpowered others through this method, and that causes much destruction.
But now that the Countess treasured this place, he decided to do this instead.
When the claws dispersed completely, a powerful gush of wind blow to the surrounding area followed by the remnants of the energies inside of the claws earlier, dropping from the sky almost like a colorful snow.
In the next second, Rex fell to his knees as his body was rendered into a horrifying state.
The majority of his body was in a grotesque condition, it was hard to look at him, especially his arms that were in tangles. One could even see the veins and bones inside Rex's arm that were tanking the full brunt of the attack.
One after the other, problems never ceased to leave him alone.
Earlier, he was still extremely weakened to the point of not being able to use any of his powers. In order to put him in that state, he would need to experience an insurmountable of pain and agony.
But now, the Lunirich Gods are bullying him who is in a weakened state.
Surely, it should be unfair for Gods like them to take advantage of his situation and attack.
Just as he thought it was over, a red glint appeared in the sky.
Swoosh!
A red object fell from the sky like a meteor, the tip was cloaked with an intense spiraling blood moon energy. It flew at an extremely fast speed and in an instant, the red object arrived right when Rex raises his gaze.
Upon seeing the tip reaching him, Rex's eyes slightly widened in surprise.
But there was no mercy, the world, and the Gods doesn't care whether he was ready or not. Blood flew into the air creating a daunting arc, piercing the flesh. Clearly, this red object was sent by the Kaiser of the Scarlet Garland who hated him the most.
Considering he took the Kaiser's power, it's not a surprise.
Delta howled in worry from the side seeing this. It was then, she quickly rushes over to help.
