YM778.TV Chapter 156 Attack! [3]
Once Rex and Aragorn rushed inside the central control room, they were exposed to a bloody battle that already claimed dozens of lives.
Gaud was relentless and absolutely ruthless this time.
He thought he already prepared enough to finish this mission effortlessly, but once again, he underestimated his opponents when he thought he already vastly overestimated them.
This Elven warrior revealed a strange degree of strength. With her bow and mystic arrows, and her 2 other mystic abilities, Princess Elanor was like a Jungle Queen as she fought this powerful mystic warrior to a standstill for minutes.
Apart from that, having lend the Affection Necklace to Max to power it through an artificial means, Gaud could not penetrate the defense of these 2 basic mystic warriors as easily as he thought anymore.
The battle choked him and was what brought out his beastly side.
On seeing the nature of the battle, Gaud was finally forced to drop his gentlemanly approach as he became a full-fledged villain.
Gaud did not hesitate to drop all his morals as he employed the dirtiest means that were in his disposal just to get rid of this elven warrior.
With his invisibility mystic ability, he could effortlessly play dirty. Once he started, a massacre started as this mystic warrior abandoned his enemy and went on a massacre through the computer operators here.
Most of them already escaped as soon as Gaud appeared here, but not all of them could escape on time as they now became the victims.
The massacre lasted a few seconds with about a dozen deaths accompanying it before Princess Elanor was finally forced to leave her favored position where she could attack, defend herself and the 2 Elden siblings also.
Once she moved, Gaud showed his true colors.
Both of them clashed again, and Gaud was the undisputed superior. With his Goldenhead snake, Black Mamba snake, and Python snake mystic pets, he was literally fighting a 4 in 1 battle at this specific moment.
In just a few seconds, Gaud succeeded in inflicting injuries all over her body as Princess Elanor struggled to protect herself.
Despite Gaud\'s aggressiveness and superiority, Princess Elanor never gave up and was able to stand her ground.
She was already bloodied over, and poison already infiltrated her bloodstream, but she never once allowed Gaud to pass through.
Despite the poison of the dangerous snakes already seeping deep into her blood and making her dizzy, she never once hesitated to continue her mission.
After having agreed to protect the 2 Elden descendants, her pride would not tolerate any other outcome. The only way for Gaud to pass through was if she was dead, but for now, this theory was not a reality yet.
Rushing inside the central control room and seeing the state of the Elven Princess, Rex and Aragorn experienced different rush of emotions.
In Rex\'s part, he remembered the Elven Queen\'s parting words. Queen Galadriel pleaded with the both of them to always protect the princess, and he gave his promise. He had no intentions of breaking his promise.
Now seeing Princess Elanor in such a state and still feeling her drive to keep on going, instantly, Rex felt an emotional shift that affected his consciousness.
His mystic energy started churning without his consent as he roared. In the blink of an eye, he entered a special state that he had only ever experienced during his finale battle against Turan back in Obedin City.
The only difference between now and then was that he was now significantly more powerful, and had lots of more skills and abilities at his disposal.
The blood all over the Elven Princess\'s body awakened a primordial instinct in him as his eyes turned red, his body seemed to turn into a blazing red fire.
Instinctively, Rex turned into his Bear-man form even as he unsheathed the upgraded Berserker. Without waiting for Aragorn, Rex\'s red eyes penetrated the invisibility cloak as he sprinted towards his opponent.

Boom!
Rex was unleashed as he activated skills instinctively.
They finally clashed the first time and Rex felt a soul attack hit his mind. It only bounced off harmlessly though, he had not been training with his Fortified Soul Cultivation technique for nothing.
Having failed to establish his superiority in the soul domain, Gaud tried to capitalize on his superior close-combat abilities through his Tiajustsu technique, but this time, he was up for a great surprise.
Rex\'s sword slashed so fast before he could react as a sword draw, a soul draw, and a blood draw were unleashed at the same time.
This attack was at point-blank range, Gaud was unable to dodge as he was affected and injured. Rex instantly followed up the attack as he had no intentions of slowing it down, he activated his Oxygen Manipulation.
Gaud was rattled by the intensity and speed at which Rex attacked but he was able to fall back on time against this fatal attack.
The burning oxygen fire only grazed his face as he dodged on time. This was not the end though as a spam of attacks started from Rex, Rex no longer thought as his system just kept on activating the skills following his instincts.
He was in a special state where he completely obeyed his instincts.
He literally activated all the mystic effects of his mystic treasures, including his Vampiric Armor and the Blood Tome as he seemed to turn into a Blood Deity.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Gaud struggled to cope with Rex\'s intensity and drive.
Once Beastmare and Thoram finally entered the central control room, on seeing this battle, they were completely flabbergasted. "How?"
Their distraction worked against them though as before they could even understand what was going on, Aragorn pounced on them with his Blood Pistols.
As the red-colored bullets scorched them and as Aragorn\'s machine unleashed more disaster on them inside here, Beastmare and Thoram were forced into the defensive, giving room for Rex and Gaud to fight longer.
Rex had no intentions of slowing down despite being so strong already and it became evident after he finally activated his upgrade\'s skill, the Overload ability.
Once Rex activated this skill, he seemed to turn into a depiction of the fictional character Goku in its strongest state as he roared like a beast.
Even in his Bear-man form, Rex never felt himself so in tune with his sword as he fought like a swordsman who had been learning the ways of the sword for a thousand years already.
After activating his Overload ability, his power did not just increase this time but his upgrade mystic ability proved its unmatched abilities again.
Through the Overload, Rex was able to access the sword competency of his future self. Through this, he was able to have the proficiency of a master swordsman who already unlocked the mystic sword domain.
This was when Rex finally became the undisputed superior in the battle.
Gaud was shocked and frustrated as he fought against this mystic warrior. By now, he already threw all his plans away and only escape was in his head.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect this new gang leader to be this powerful, he recognized that he hit the wrong opponent already.
Another thing that baffled him was Rex\'s mystic energy. If Rex was a new Advanced mystic warrior like he guessed, his mystic energy limit should be exhausted by now. He was right but Rex had plans in place.
At his signal, Princess Elanor after recovering a bit opened a hidden path inside the control room through which mystic beasts stormed in.
Rex spammed attacks at them instantly as he started killing them.

Once again, Gaud was horrified as Rex simply kept on going.
3 minutes later, he gave up as he finally put in all effort to escape. Surprisingly, Rex let him go this time as he instead turned towards Aragorn\'s battle.
Once he turned to Aragorn\'s battle, Princess Elanor did the same as a 3 on 2 battle began. Having witnessed their battle already, on seeing them coming, Beastmare and Thoram were horrified but it was already too late.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Once they boxed them in, they killed them efficiently without any fanfare.
-----
You have killed an Advanced mystic warrior: Beastmare!
You have gained 750 mystic energy points
You have gained…
----
Aragorn dealt the last killing blow to Thoram the Pugilist.
Once this happened, Rex did not care about going through the remaining system notifications as he exploded with speed outside after Gaud.
Gaud was horrified at the speed at which his minions died, he tried to escape faster but a mixture of a completely prepared, riled up, and angry Rex, Aragorn, and Princess Elanor was too much for him.
And with the fact that Rex\'s red eyes could see through his invisibility through some hidden means, he was screwed.
3 minutes later, a familiar sword was just a few inches away from his neck.
"Surrender or die!"
