Sensing the spike in energy inside the city, Flunra quickly came back.
Despite being told to not come back to the city until the situation regarding Evelyn and Adhara has calmed down, he had to inspect the situation when the spike in energy was caused by Rex himself.
It was even more troubling when he sensed Evelyn, the Luna seemed to be fighting him.
At first, he thought that it was a basic quarrel between the two.
But it was clearly not when he realized that Evelyn and the others seemed to be in trouble, attempting to stop Rex who had a murderous light behind his eyes. Having no other choice, he had to step in.
Like an imposing wall, he stood a distance away from Rex unwaveringly.
"F- Flunra!"
Catching sight of him, Evelyn exclaimed excitedly.
She felt extremely relieved to have him here. It was obvious that she alone and the others wouldn't be able to subdue Rex, the fight is gradually going downhill. Even though they tried their best, the gap between them is still so far.
In fact, Evelyn thought they were doing far better against Rex than she anticipated.
Almost as if he was not in top condition.
However, she was troubled to find that her Luna energy couldn't penetrate through at all.
"What happened here? How did he become like that?"
"Maybe it was because of me, my Luna energy suddenly got weakened earlier"
"Weakened...? How is that possible?"
Flunra was surprised, he found it impossible for her Luna energy to be weakened.
Living for thousands of years already, he has never heard of such a thing happening in the ancient era. This is the first for him, and it doesn't make any sense to him no matter how much he thought about it.
A sudden drop of Luna energy is not a thing, the Luna will always be the Luna.
But he decided to put that in the back of his mind for now.
Shifting his focus back to the berserk Rex who is already sizing him up, looking at him up and down like a slab of meat, akin to a predator eyeing its prey, Flunra quickly engraved a couple of ancient runes on his body.
In the way he sees it, a fight is unavoidable.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Upon engraving the ancient runes, he could feel a surge of energy inside of him.
Liliya who was prostrating on all four on the ground, panting heavily saw Flunra's back and decided to point her hand toward him. It was then that the mark on her face glowed with a subtle hue as she used her power.
"Enhancing Mark..."
Swish!
Glancing over his shoulders, Flunra could feel the heat on his right back.
A different energy strengthens his body.
On the other hand, Linthia also does the same thing. Since she wasn't able to help much thanks to Rex's sturdy spirit, she would at least help Flunra who would need to fight Rex closely while the others try to find openings.
It was only him that could act in this role, the others were too weak.
"Fighter Spirit..."
Under the influence of the spell, he could feel his mind's clarity and focus were amplified.
Flunra then stepped forward before he transformed into his Werewolf form.
Swoosh!
Like a torrent, his body absorbed the moonlight energy that lingers in the night air, pushing his power up again for a bit. But at that moment, he also saw Rex's body start sucking moonlight energy the same.
A frown appeared on his face when Rex did it way better than him.
"On me!"
With no time to spare, he surged ahead at incredible speed. His foot crashed down upon the ground heavily, a thunderous stomp that propelled him forward, claws bared, ready to clash fiercely with the berserk Rex.
In response, Rex also smiled menacingly seeing a prey trying to retaliate.
Clang!
Locking in a relentless power struggle, they gazed at each other with unwavering intensity before unleashing a volley of vicious blows. Each strike sliced through the air, a visual testament to the formidable power they wielded.
Flunra with the enhancements managed to match Rex's physical prowess evenly.
However, he was not on even grounds in fighting technique.
Moving expertly like flowing water, Rex faked a slash before he went down and did a leg sweep that caught Flunra off guard. Smiling fiercely, he then pulled his claws back intending to stab Flunra's abdomen.
But it was then a thick vine wrapped around his arm suddenly, stopping his attack mid-track.
Dindora managed to react fast enough and intervened.
Glancing over his shoulder, Rex glared at Dindora which strikes fear into her. However, Evelyn and Ugrok manage to use this distraction to attack him from behind, finding that this is the perfect opportunity for them.
Rex glanced over his shoulder and bore his glare into Dindora, striking fear into her heart. Unbeknownst to him, this momentary distraction provided the perfect opportunity for Evelyn and Ugrok to launch a surprise attack from behind.
"Fire Demoness Art, Blazing Destroyer!"
"Ground Splinter!"
In such a situation, there's no way Rex would be able to dodge their attacks.
However, in that second, he managed to raise his arms and block their attacks cleanly.
Bam!
Both Evelyn's fiery hand was infused with intense spirit energy alongside Ugrok's club was stopped in their tracks. It was at this moment that the two realized clearly that Rex was way stronger than them.
Even without his king mark, he handled them pretty easily.
Rex leaped and grabbed the two on their necks, he then spun his body and threw them away.
Crash!
Like projectiles from the barrel of a canon, the two crash through one building and into another, forcing blood to climb out of their throats, spilling forth in a violent torrent. It effectively takes them out of the fight for a moment.
In that instant, Flunra came leaping and tackled Rex from the air.
As they plummeted from the sky, they battled fiercely for the advantageous position. In the fleeting moment, Flunra seized the opportunity, landing a series of claw strikes that left shallow scratches across Rex's body.
But a solid punch to the face makes him dizzy for a brief second.
Just before he could realize what was going on, he was already positioned at the bottom.
'Argh... His hits are heavy, I can't focus!'
Rex clamped Flunra's face in a vice-like grip with his claws, then forcefully slammed him into the ground with immense power. Flunra skidded across the street, propelled by the force of their fall.
In a defiant act of retaliation, he engraved an ancient rune onto Rex's arm.
Crash!
It greatly weakens him for a moment which allows him to kick Rex away back into the air.
Out of nowhere, a massive red portal appeared in the sky.
Evelyn whose silver hair dances and swirls with violent deep scarlet fire channels as much spirit energy and mana, her spirit already appeared behind her as a few words of chant escaped her mouth.
"Pneuma Spell, Call for Flames of Hell..."
Unable to escape the trajectory of the red portal, Rex was forced to create a force barrier.
However, Flurna draws a rune and deactivates the force barrier.
Swoosh!!
Rex was instantly consumed by a raging sea of dark crimson flames, belched forth from the red portal. The searing heat radiated, saturating the surroundings with its blistering intensity. It resembled a fiery cascade descending from the heavens, scorching the very earth upon impact.
While this spell continued, Flunra leaped and landed beside her and coughed blood.
"Evelyn- don't hesitate. Attack him as if you're aiming to kill him"
"Krghh... How could I do that?"
"Remember, he's way stronger than you. Even if you try your very best, he'll not die"
Upon hearing this, Evelyn lets out a resolute grunt, her form ablaze with even more intensity as she pours every ounce of her strength into this attack. Unconsciously, she found herself instinctively restraining.
She doesn't want to harm Rex despite his condition.
But that was stupid of her, she wouldn't be able to finish this unless she really tried.
A resolute grunt escaped her mouth when she decided to put everything she had into this attack, the fire around her body blazes violently. She infuses mana and spirit energy to the point of exhaustion, fueling the fiery cascade with even more power.
It was clear that she was giving it her all as her arms began to shake.
"Keep going, I'll deal the final blow"
Flunra went down to one knee before he closed his eyes, he ignored the blood seeping out of his torn shoulder from being bitten by Rex earlier and calmed his breathing, he would need to land the finishing blow.
'Even with this much, it's not going to be enough...'
Gradually, his aura started to climb higher as he prepared to pour everything he had.
Drawing blood from his torn shoulder, he then carved a combination of ancient runes around his ankle and another rune that would enhance his speed greatly. It didn't take long for him to feel the effect.
Raising his head, he fixated his eyes on the cascade of flames.
As he expected, a silhouette appeared to be standing at the center of the devastating spell.
It was clear that Rex wouldn't be dropping down with only this much, the fact that he could fight against the Supernatural Elders and come out alive means that he was a formidable opponent to them.
Exhaling lightly, Flunra then takes one wide step before his body vanishes suddenly.
On the side, Evelyn was surprised by this sight.
Not only had Flunra vanished entirely from her field of vision, but his aura had become so faint that she could barely sense his presence even though she was actively trying to search for him.
But it was natural as Flunra had entered the twilight dimension.
Flunra borrowed the power of Isobel the Void Walker and entered the twilight dimension. This is the only attack that he could muster which has a chance of hurting Rex, he decided to gamble everything with this.
Like a streak of a shadow, he sprints quickly inside the twilight dimension.
Instead of heading towards the fiery cascade, Flunra kept running in a circle and sped up.
'The twilight dimension operates differently compared to the normal dimension. Inside, one's speed is amplified multiple times. If I accelerate enough, pushing myself to the utmost limits, and then reemerge for the decisive strike, it could offer an optimal chance to inflict substantial damage to Rex'
Nodding his head firmly, he pushes himself to reach his top speed.
Upon achieving the top speed which even made his moving legs a blur, Flunra takes a sharp turn and heads towards the fiery cascade. It was then that he came out of the twilight dimension and headed straight to the center.
Swoosh!
Evelyn could see him reappearing for a brief second before disappearing again.
It was not that he went back to the twilight dimension, but he was moving faster than her eyes could see, breaking the sound barrier with a loud banging sound. She could tell that he was heading straight at Rex, judging by the hole that he tore in the fiery cascade.
Cloaking his claws with moonlight energy, he thrust it forward aiming at Rex's chest.
Splash!
Boom!
Flunra smiled when he found that his attack managed to pierce right through Rex's red force barrier as well as his sturdy skin, his claws blasted on the back alongside the crimson blood that was forced to come out.
Not stopping at that, he then maneuvered over and wrapped his arm around Rex's neck.
At that moment, he managed to pin Rex on the ground.
"Now!! Come and restrain him right now!!" Flunra roared finding that he wouldn't last.
Snapping out of their dazes, the others instantly jumped in to help.
Dindora was the first one as she instantly summoned multiple vines and wrapped them around Rex's entire body, piercing through his limbs in an attempt to restrain him. In addition, Ugrok also comes from the side and holds both of Rex's arms from the back.
Furthermore, Liliya also dashed in and put her hand over Rex's chest.
The mark on her face emitted a radiant glow as she etched several weakening marks directly onto Rex. Employing indirect methods from a distance had proven ineffective against him, so she resorted to direct engraving for lasting effect.
Under their relentless effort, Rex was restrained as he struggled.
His body becomes warm from the amount of red force he was trying to use to break free.
Knowing that the window of opportunity is closing the longer this fight gets, Evelyn quickly landed right in front of him before her Luna energy burst once again, seeping into Rex's body, forcing him to calm down.
"Rex, wake up! Snap out of it! It's me, Evelyn!"
Growl!
Despite her effort, it's still not working which made her expression turns pale.
"Flunra, it's not working! I told you my Luna energy is weakened!"
"Try it again, it's impossible for your Luna energy to be weakened!"
Gritting her teeth, Evelyn strained to infuse her Luna energy into Rex's body. But then, a sizzling sound reaches her ears. Instinctively, she raised her gaze before her expression drained from all color.
Evelyn witnessed the red crescent moon mark on Rex's forehead gradually becoming whole.
"We're in trouble... H- He's activating his king mark!!"
