Chapter 42: Against Rex II



Luna didn't waste any time. With lightning-fast reflexes, she lunged at Rex, her daggers flashing as they struck out toward him. Rex barely managed to block the assault, the clash of their weapons ringing out. His smirk quickly faded, replaced by a grim realization as he realized she was stronger than he had anticipated.

Leon, meanwhile, moved with precision and efficiency, taking down Rex's lackeys one by one. His strikes were swift, and each movement was calculated. With his newfound Tier II strength, he dispatched the mobs effortlessly, clearing a path through the chaos. For the first time, he felt the true extent of his power, the magic sources he'd absorbed fueling him with renewed vigor.

He even didn't used his Summons even, just dispatching them with his magic and swordsmanship.

Rex, distracted by his struggling forces, turned his full attention back to Luna. He grunted, blocking her assault as he tried to strike back, but her agility kept him on the defensive. "You think you can stand against me, little girl?" he taunted, his voice laced with frustration.

Luna laughed, a fierce grin on her face. "I don't think; I know." Her movements became faster, her strikes sharper, forcing him to take several steps back. Her experience and newly leveled strength made her a dangerous opponent, one Rex was starting to regret underestimating.

Seeing the tide of the battle turn, Leon called out to Luna, "Don't give him an inch! We've got him pinned down!" His own battle against the remaining thugs was nearly over, his path almost clear.

Rex, now realizing his forces were dwindling, gritted his teeth. "You think this is the end? You have no idea who you're messing with!" He charged at Luna with renewed aggression, throwing all his strength into each strike.

Luna met him head-on, her blade catching the light as she deflected his attacks. She maneuvered around him with a grace that belied her fierce determination. Finally, she saw an opening. With a swift movement, she disarmed him, her dagger cutting into his arm, forcing him to drop his weapon. Rex stumbled back, clutching his bleeding arm, eyes wide in disbelief.

Leon approached, his expression calm but resolute. "Looks like your reign is over, Rex. The city doesn't belong to you anymore."

Rex, panting and weakened, looked around at the remains of his defeated forces and the determined expressions of Leon and Luna. "This isn't over," he spat, trying to maintain his bravado, but his voice trembled.

Luna stepped forward, her gaze cold. "Oh, I think it is. You're going to die here."

With no other option, Rex staggered back, his pride shattered. "You're making a big mistake. You'll regret this," he hissed, before turning and retreating into the shadows, his once-powerful presence reduced to a figure slinking away in defeat.

As Rex disappeared, Leon and Luna exchanged a glance. "Didn't know he still had that trick left," Leon said, eyeing the shadows from which Rex had retreated.

"I should've killed him faster," Luna frowned as she looked ahead as well.

"It's okay," Leon replied, though inwardly he shared her concern.

Luna nodded as they returned to rest. Leon decided to check out his system notifications—rewards he'd received upon reaching Tier II. He had been about to look at them earlier when Rex and his lackeys had arrived, interrupting him. Now, he could finally take a closer look.

[ Congratulations, Host, on reaching Tier II! ]

[ Host can now choose a second path. ]

[ Host can now make a second Dark Pact. ]

[ Host has unlocked the Puppeteer skill. ]

[ Host has unlocked Hellfire Chain. ]

[ Host has unlocked Blood Pact. ]

'hmm, cherry expand them' Leon said as Cherry sitting on his shoulders nodded.

[Second Path Choice]

Host could now branch into another specialized path, enhancing either his offensive or support skills depending on the choice. Each path offered unique skill advancements, allowing him to tailor his power set for specific scenarios.

[Second Dark Pact]

The opportunity to form another pact with a dark entity would amplify Host dark magic potential. It will allow host to wield even more potent dark arts, though it came at the cost of aligning further with the dark forces.

[Puppeteer Skill]

With this skill, Leon could control weakened or mindless foes, turning enemies into temporary allies. This manipulation was useful for confusing opponents or overwhelming others with sheer numbers. The number of targets depends on user own mind strength.

[Hellfire Chain]

A brutal offensive skill, Hellfire Chain allowed him to summon chains engulfed in dark flames to bind or sear enemies. The chains inflicted both physical and magical damage, making it a versatile tool against many foes.

[Blood Pact]

A necromancy-derived skill that allows the host to drain blood from defeated foes and create blood golems based on the form of the target whose blood was taken.

The golem also shares damage dealt to the host, effectively acting as an additional health buffer.

Leon nodded, anticipation stirring within him. "Cherry, show me the paths unlocked."

Cherry's voice chimed in his mind, steady and efficient.

[ Aside from the original paths, new paths have also been unlocked ]
