Because some of you guys said that it is plain to have the elements divided into first to the third rank, I decided to change it up from now.
The element rankings will be divided into Basic Element, Great Element, and Ultimate Element. Great and Ultimate element will be divided into low, mid, and peak.
I changed it up so it will be easier to understand and not as confusing.
I read all of the comments so keep sending me feedbacks and Happy Reading!
The necklace on Rex's chest glows with a wicked aura before black energy came out of Ronald's corpse and got sucked into the necklace.
Rex fell down to his knees after killing Ronald, he uses his all to fight Ronald, and thankfully the reward from the berserk quest saved his life.
If he didn't kill Chris and get those rewards, then he probably would've been cut into two by now.
'I got +2 Mental stat? Oh, the system didn't count the added stat only the raw stat. So instead of 72 Mental stat, the system recognizes mine as only 40 which activated the Whiro of Necklace effect', Rex thought.
He somehow manages to kill a rank five Awakened with a little help from Edward, if one was to saw this then they might get shocked to death.
There's no record in history that a rank two Awakened manage to kill a rank four, nevertheless a powerful rank five Awakened.
Even for a rank four Awakened, there's only a handful that can challenge a rank five.
The reason behind this is because a rank five have at least a mid-Great Element and already created their element rune, upon creating an element rune the Awakened will have every spell they cast enhanced by a few times. Their control over their elements is also way better than a rank four, so It will be a foolish act to challenge a rank five that is better in every way.
Rex is exhausted, his heavy breaths indicate it clearly.
His eyes then landed on the big battleax that Ronald used before, without thinking much he grabs it and put it in his inventory.
Edward was dazed so he didn't saw Rex put the battleax inside his inventory,
He wakes up and stares at Rex blankly, he didn't have the time to think before because he needs to focus on surviving but now that it's over, he just realized Rex just killed a rank five!
He walks slowly towards Rex with a shocked look, "You...you kill a rank five?!", he said in disbelief.
Hearing this, Rex can only chuckle, "You're good yourself, you manage to survive against a rank five attack!"
Edward rolled his eyes, 'You take a serious attack from a rank five yourself!'
Rex is in a bad state, his body is trembling now that the adrenaline has gone. The exhaustion finally hits him as he lay on the ground.
"Edward, check them and kill them if they're alive. Make sure to use fire to kill them", Rex said while pointing at the small warehouse remains.
Edward nodded his head, he already got involved so he also needs to stop this event from getting leaked.
'I should've killed them myself but...', Rex thought, he wanted to get the free exp from a rank four Awakened but he can't level any trace and also his body is not listening to him.
After approaching the small warehouse remains, Edward notice Miru is already dead because of internal injury while Kiru is still breathing but heavily injured.
Kiru looks at Miru with immense guilt, he then looks at Edward and smiles, "Please, just kill me"
Without wasting any time, Edward nodded his head.
He put his fingers on Kiru's forehead, after confirming with Kiru one more time his hands blazed with fire as Kiru's forehead got pierced and instantly killing him.
It was a painless kill, Kiru's expression didn't even show any sign of pain before he died.
Edward went back towards Rex and saw Rex lying on the ground, "You're trying to make two families fight against each other, but that guy was killed by your black lightning"
Rex slowly wakes up from the ground, "Don't worry, I'm a rank two. The element will disappear in a bit"
They both then went back, leaving the scene as it is.
Not long after, a robot came to the scene as it rings a loud siren.
The robot is a product of sector 2E and in a flash, the local police and the FAA arrive at the scene.
They arrived at Faraday University after a couple of hours using Edward's car, it's a long journey because their body is hurting so much.
Rex already bought a healing elixir from the system and gave it to Edward,
His and Edward's injuries healed for a little bit but the burnt skin still there, the Eternal Flame is not letting the tissues heal.
"We can't get back , we need to go to the infirmary first", Rex said.
If he dare comes back late at night to his room, he will certainly get scolded by the girls heavily especially he didn't even reply to their texts.
For now, Rex wanted the girls especially Adhara to power themselves up.
Adhara will certainly accompany him in the future because of being in his pack, so she must be strong enough to help him in the future.
Edward nodded his head in agreement, they went to the infirmary not far from the entrance.
They avoid the crowd of students, they don't want any leaks in their plan. Rex even bought a normal shirt from the system so that he doesn't walk around shirtless.
Although going to the infirmary has risks, they have to go there.
Arriving at the infirmary,
Rex was greeted with advanced medical equipment that decorates the entire place, there were only four beds here and it is quite small.
'Well, I can't compare this to Ochyra University. Our students are easily ten times more than here', Rex thought as they approach the doctor there.
The doctor is a middle-aged man that looks ordinary, he wears a white coat just like any other doctor.
"What happened to you guys?", The doctor asks in worry.
He approached Edward who is supporting Rex to stand, they both looks like they just got out of hell with many burn marks.
Edward smiles awkwardly, "We're training, we got a little bit too excited"
The doctor shakes his head, he then signals both of them to lay on their respective beds, "You guys should be more careful, although it can easily be treated it is still dangerous"
Rex laid on the bed, he then said, "Doctor, I need to go back this night. Is that possible? I don't want to worry my lecturer"
Hearing this, the doctor looks at Rex and sighs, "I know you, you're all over the university web. I can't guarantee it but I'll try to heal you enough so you can head back"
The doctor then taps on a hologram beside Rex's bed before a medical machine came down from the roof towards Rex.
It then shoots a red laser into Rex's body scanning it,
Rex's condition got projected to the hologram in front of the doctor, the doctor analyzes the injuries and was quite surprised, "Why is the fire so powerful? Who did you fight against?"
"We're sparring against a lecturer, it seems he got carried a bit", Edward answered hurriedly.
The doctor frowns for a second before he started the treatment,
A needle came out of the machine as it went towards Rex's burned areas, Rex got the first treatment because Rex's burned areas are worst than Edward's.
The needle injected a translucent substance, "We need to prevent the infection first, it is a nasty wound so bare with me"
Rex can feel the needle went inside of it, it doesn't feel like anything but it started to hurt when the substance got inside.
Edward also got injected just after finishing Rex's.
Then, the doctor's hand glows with a green light as the dead tissue on Rex's burn injuries started to heal at a visible rate.
It got a few blowbacks from the Eternal Flame but is got controlled by the doctor,
'The doctor is at least rank five, that's quite amazing for a doctor', Rex thought.
Not long after, the treatment ended and Rex can feel he got better than before.
Just before they left the infirmary, "Rex Silverstar, you're quite blessed. To be gifted in Regenerative abilities is a blessing, after I got rid of the fire mana it started to heal at visible rat"
The doctor wrote in a report as he continues, "I have never seen something like that, your ability can even match a Vampire or even a Werewolf", he joked.
Rex can only smile wryly in reply, 'It's not that I can match them, but I am one'
"You are gifted?! You're probably gifted in many aspects seeing how strong you are before", Edward said, he felt down after seeing Rex's power.
Rex slap his back encouragingly, "Don't feel down dude, just get stronger"
Edward can only sigh before they both separated and went to their own rooms.
Although Rex is healed, there are still burnt injuries around his body that are still healing. It is quite obvious so he needs to hide it from the other.
Thankfully, the injury mainly is around his stomach because of the fire slash.
Rex opened the door but was soon shocked,
Adhara, Rosie, and Hera were standing beside one another in front of the door. They all have different expressions but Rosie is clearly mad.
"Where were you?", Rosie ask flatly.
Rex slowly closes the door behind him, "I...I catch up with Edward and forget the time", he laughs awkwardly.
Rosie studied Rex's expression, she then huffed annoyedly, "You owe me food tomorrow", she then left and slam her body on the right bed.
Hera and Adhara look at Rex with a meaningful look before they left Rex alone and went to bed.
Rex sighs a sigh of relief, he changes his clothes in the bathroom and wanted to go to bed because he felt extremely exhausted but, "Rosie why are you there?"
Rosie is on the right bed while Adhara and Hera are on the left bed.
Hearing Rex's remark, she wanted to rebut but Rex beat her to it, "Okay fine! I'm sleeping there", he said.
He's exhausted, and arguing with Rosie is not worth it.
Rex then slam his body to the bed and immediately closes his eyes,
He felt Rosie snuggles on his chest but he didn't give any reaction, all he wanted is to sleep and that is what he will get.
In the middle of the night,
Rex and the others are already asleep,
He's currently dreaming but then, a figure wakes up from the left side bed.
The figure gets out of bed slowly without alerting anyone, she then went out of the room and came back not long after.
Rex is already up sensing the figure, he felt nothing from the figure so he pretends to be asleep.
He even already knows that it is Adhara because of her scent, 'What is she doing?', Rex thought as he pretends to be asleep.
Adhara kneels beside the bed before her warm hand pulls up Rex's shirt.
Rex was shocked but then, Adhara's fingers started applying a lotion on Rex's burnt injuries on his stomach.
It brought a cool feeling as it touches his injuries.
After applying the lotion, Adhara closes Rex's shirt before she steps back.
Rex smiles gently, 'Of course she knows, I'm sorry for hurting you',
Adhara and Rex's feelings are linked with each other, just like during the Dark Moon when Rex can feel Adhara is hurting, she can feel Rex's too.
By the reaction from Rosie and Hera, Adhara probably held the pain in to not worry the others.
Because of that, he was quite touched.
'She adapted pretty fast, she didn't panic every time she felt I'm in danger and that's probably for the best',
But then, Rex sense Adhara standing still not far away from him.
Rex hears Adhara walks away and passes the bed.
He then heard Adhara went out of the door before the door closed again, Rex opened his eyes and looks at the door direction with a frown, 'Where did she go this late?'
