Chapter 41 Revelation
ROAARR!
<The Enemy is Activating its Skill>
<Analyzing the Enemy's Skill...>
Daak roared in anger after getting mocked by Rex, wood element started to suck into its body,
Its body is getting bulkier as it gains muscles all around its body, the slim tentacles that are not thicker than Rex's waist become bulky,
WHOOSH!!
A wave of wood elements filled the entire area, it then get sucked into Daak's body strengthening it.
Even Rex who is not an Awakened can feel the density of the wood elements emitted by Daak,
Daak then points its tentacles towards Rex, "Hum..an, will die!"
Rex looks at Daak's stats and was surprised by the increase,
<Daak>
Race: Tree Giant - Adult
Power: Early Rank Four - Puppeteer
Mental: 40
Strength: 75
Agility: 29
Endurance: 90
Intelligence: 68
Rex noticed a substantial increase in strength as it almost doubled in number entering 70s, but its endurance decreased by quite a bit.
Rex can see the wood elements prickling on Daak's skin, the skill seems to be quite a toll for Daak.
Daak curls its tentacles and swung them towards Rex, the power behind Daak's tentacle seems to be able to crush everything that gets hit by it.
Adhara who is fighting the two puppets turns her body away in fright, she can't bear to watch Rex got hit by it.
BOOM!!
The ground was utterly destroyed by the tentacles, rocks, and debris flew to the surrounding like a bullet as dust exploded covering the whole area.
Adhara glances back at the fight and started to worry, 'No way, Rex can't be beaten that easily right?'
Daak cracked a grin in delight, It is happy to land a solid hit to Rex but suddenly,
"That's a great skill", the dust started to fade away exposing Rex who was planted on the ground by Daak.

Blood is dripping from his mouth but the smile on his face was still evident as if Daak's attack is ineffective.
Adhara was delighted hearing the familiar voice,
While Daak widened its eyes in surprise, its already hideous face becomes more hideous in anger,
Rex stands up there with his evil grin, especially after getting a notification from the system.

<Skill Learned: Brace of Moonlight>
After learning a new skill, Rex immediately uses it,
WHOOSH!!
The moonlight got sucked into Rex's body and nourishing it, Rex's body slowly becomes bigger and bigger as he gains more muscle on his body.
His force aura also got more condensed, the raindrop can't even approach one meter from Rex's body because of the force aura.
His eyes flash with a frenzy, his aura started to take shape of a dark red Werewolf on his back.
The aura gives out an immense killing intent that makes Rosie and Adhara struggles to breathe, Daak who is in the middle of the killing intent steps back unconsciously.
"You... You are not hu...man!!", Daak shouted after realizing Rex's power.
Rosie who is hazily watching from the side breath a long breath, "Wind Favor", she musters all of her remaining mana and chanted.
Wind Element started to gather at Rex's feet creating some kind of wings on his feet, Rex was surprised and looked at Rosie who just depleted her mana,
<The user's agility has been increased by 10>
Reading this, Rex smiles evilly, "Alpha Intimidation", he whispers as his eyes glow red.
<The target's stats have been decreased by 30%>
WHOOSH!
Rex suddenly disappeared from his spot,
Daak panicked, it looks left and right trying to find Rex but to no avail, fear started to crawl into Daak as it felt an immense danger lurking nearby.
Then suddenly, Rex reappear behind Daak and punch Daak's back,
BAAM!
Daak was sent flying to the front after getting punched on the back, its internal organs shook because of the punch, Daak spat out a green liquid because of the punch.
Before Daak can even stop flying away, Rex appear in front of Daak and punch Daak again,
BOOM!!
This sequel repeated again,
BOOM!!
and again,
BOOM!!
CRASH!!
Daak crashed to the nearby house destroying it completely and hitting the ground before Daak finally stopped,
If normal people were to see the place, they will run in fright unable to imagine the battle that took place here.
This happened just right in front of Rosie and Adhara who sucked in a cold breath, Rosie's eyes were blazing with admiration while Adhara smiles wryly watching Rex fight to his heart's content.
'He's so strong! He's way stronger compared to that night, I think it's time to bring him to my parents', Rosie thought while marveling at Rex's power.
Rex walks slowly to Daak,
His eyes were blazing with ferocity, his right hand bulged with muscle and emits a white hue.
Rex arrives in front of Daak who pathetically lies on the ground and raises his hand intending to finishes Daak off,
Daak's body is already torn open and green liquid covered its body from head to toe, the majority of the tentacles are already smashed and cut off.
From the looks of it, Daak is holding onto its last breath.
Just as Rex wanted to finish Daak off, suddenly a dark tentacle burst out off the ground aiming at Rex's chest.
Daak grins, Rex was caught off guard!
He gritted his teeth after seeing the smug look of Daak, he tries to dodge to the left but it is too late.
SPLURT!!
The dark tentacle pierced through Rex's right chest, blood spurted out of his mouth and chest, "Huakhkk!"
"REX!!", Adhara and Rosie screamed hysterically in a union.
Adhara's eyes turn blazing red, the ground beneath her explode sending her flying in Rex's direction.
The fire elements surge around her as she shouted desperately, "BURNING SCIMITARS!!"
A dozen fire scimitars appeared above her and sent slashing down to Daak, Daak smiles with satisfaction after piercing Rex.
STAB!!
The scimitars stab Daak's body, it then closes its eyes dead after getting burned from the inside.
Adhara runs towards Rex, she held Rex's head and put it on her lap.
"Rex! Talk to me!", she said with tears flowing down her cheeks.
Rosie also tries to look at Rex but her body is too beaten up and can only crawl weakly, her eyes also filled with tears.
*Cough*
"I got careless huh, It's okay I won't die", Rex said while cursing that Tree Giant in his head, when suddenly a notification appear making him sigh helplessly.
<The user is infected with a Tree Giant's poison, it will be very hard to move in the user current condition>
Adhara looks at Rex's pierced chest, it is a bloody gaping hole that looks horrifying.
"SOMEBODY!! HELP!!", Adhara screamed feeling desperate about the situation.
Rex and Rosie need immediate medical help because of their condition, while Laura is unconscious because of unknown reason and need to also got treated.
As Adhara was trying to find help, Rex was deep in thought because of the uneasiness he felt.
'Turns out the city is controlled by that Tree Giant so the humans that we meet turns out to be a corpse controlled by it, that explains their weird behavior and pale skin, but it still doesn't add up because Tree Giant doesn't eat human's kidney', he thought.
Rex was lying helplessly when suddenly he saw the little boy that he saw earlier pointing to the Tree Giant's carcass as if it's telling him to see it, the boy looks horrified of something,
Rex looks at the Tree Giant's carcass and saw a purple crystal on it, he struggles to position his body and inspects the crystal when suddenly his eyes widened in realization,
"ADHARA!! RUN!!", Rex screamed and shove Adhara away.
Adhara stumbles away, she gives Rex a confused expression, "That Tree Giant is also controlled by something!!"
Hearing this, Adhara's face went blank when suddenly a bone-chilling aura emerges out of the river,
ROAR!!
Rosie, Adhara, and Rex snapped their necks to the source of this bone-chilling aura,
A creature emerges from the bottom of the river, it is a huge black spider with a yellow striped back.
The spider is easily as big as a two-story building, it has eight legs with a sharp claw on its two front legs, its mouth looks hideous and filled with razor-sharp fangs, the aura it emitted is in the same level as the pawn vampire he meets before and it is suffocating.
"ANANSI?!!", Adhara shouted with her trembling voice.
Rex and the girls look at it with a helpless look, they are on the brink of giving in to the situation.
The huge spider turns its head slowly in Rex's direction, the couple of seconds of turning its head feels like an eternity.
The huge spider's eight horrifying eyes landed on Rex and the girls, it then raises its head smugly after sensing the helplessness of Rex and the girls.
'No wonder something doesn't add up, Tree Giant didn't eat kidneys. It turns out that Anansi is the Supernatural behind all of this, this whole city is a trap made by it. Its nickname as the Trickster Spider is not just for show', He thought while ridiculing himself.
Rex struggles to stand up,
Looking at Rex's still trying until the end, Adhara helps him up. Rex stands up on his feet only by depending on his willpower, it should be physically impossible for him to move.
Rosie also didn't want to be a burden as she also struggles to stand up preparing for their last stand.
'I will not let it end like this!', Rex thought with determination burning in his eyes.
