Rex suffered a completely demoralizing move that he has ever experienced in his life, the Amuerus Katana, the weapon that he strengthen to match an Origin's Weapon, the weapon that has helped him numerous times was shattered with light taps.

When his claws failed, he always turns to the Amuerus Katana.

It has the ability to give him a better chance of winning, it was very sturdy that even Kaiser was not able to break it with the blood clones, and also it was already enhanced by numerous runes that cost a lot from the system's shop.

Everything about the Amuerus Katana is overpowered, but it was shattered like a broken blade.

Reddish smoke bursts upon the shattering of the Amuerus Katana and a light growl can be heard before it is all blown by the wind, only the fragments of the dimmed blade were left on the ground, dead and broken.

"Now you see it, the difference between a real human and a measly Supernatural..."

A rasping voice soon follows, jolting Rex awake from his horrified daze. It was for a moment there, but he can feel the true essence of despair, the kinds of thing he inflicts on his enemies but now he experienced it himself.

Looking at the Executor, smiling at him, his throat tighten and his heart clenched.

"A false hierarchy has been replaced by the world, forcing new views on the creatures of the new era. Maybe the ninth-rank realm is the absolute peak for you, but... that's just the beginning of true power for me" the Executor added, his sizzling black aura spreading, inflicting despair on anything it touches.

Clenching his hands into fists, the sharp claws dug into his palm but he doesn't mind it.

Rex glared at the Executor with an unyielding spirit, this is the path laid out for him by the system. It was the path to absolute invincibility, the path that would allow him to protect those close to him and control the world with his fingertips.

It's a path that he has chosen from the moment he escaped death and gained the system.

'A path of no return, it's going to be do-or-die!'

Upon knowing that he was fated to be walking on this path the moment he accepts the system, an insurmountable amount of energy crawls inside his body, turning his presence sharper and stronger, his power reacted to his surging will to fight with all he got.

Completely different than any energy residing in this world, Rex's energy is different.

Rex's kingly energy has the authoritative nature of a King, an overbearing energy that only allowed the absolute strongest Werewolf, acknowledged by the Lunirich Gods to wield. It also reacted to the essence, the source of power that fueled Werewolves and turns them into the savage animals that they are, rage.

Knowing that a huge obstacle is standing in front of him, rage is building up inside of him.

A state of mind that should be a weakness for a fighter has been turned into a weapon in a fight, Rex conjured every single skill inside his arsenal and focuses it all on one slash that is glowing and vibrating with ultimate power.

But this attempt puts a smile on the Executor's face, "Yes, struggle against me more..."

"Resist my power, fight for your life, it was only when you try everything and still got crushed, true despair emerged and will leave your mind broken and tattered" he added before he raises his own claws to block Rex's attack.

Clang!

KABOOM!

Like any other clashes that happened this day, the effect was destructive and deadly.

A red ring that keeps expanding was created upon the impact between Rex and the Executor's claws. Sensing the power hidden inside that ring, Orson and Brigitta jumped to avoid being directly hit by it.

Soon enough, their decision to avoid the ring proves to be the right decision.

Crash!

Nothing that stands in the way of the expanding ring can resist the power even for a fraction of a second, the Great Barricade's wall and miles beyond were destroyed and even the surviving Cessation Knight was cut in half due to the ring that they can't avoid.

Everything was decimated, and this puts an excited smile on the Executor's face.

Despite putting everything he has into that attack, the Executor doesn't seem to be fazed at all. He was so strong that the slash didn't push him even a step to the side, showing that the attack was nothing for him.

"It's rather weak, I expected more from you, Royal Black Prince" the Executor commented.

But upon hearing this Rex raises his gaze and exposes his battle-crazy smile, his eyes glistening fiercely, "Of course it's weak, I'm not aiming for you" Rex said confidently, and this dip the Executor's eyebrows in confusion.

Looking around the place, the Executor finds the shockwave decimated everything his eyes can see.

Rex didn't bother showing his intention and jumped back and landed quite a distance away from the Executor, the smile is still plastered on his face as his body exploded with kingly energy that is condensed and concentrated to the surroundings.

"I know you're way stronger than me, but don't think that I can only get this strong"

After the blast of kingly energy, a thick layer of crimson liquid covers Rex's entire body. It was almost identical to blood, but this is created through his kingly energy. Under the Executor's gaze, this thick crimson layer started expanding for miles and miles without any hint of ever stopping.

Seeing the crimson layer almost touching him, the Executor stayed still without any hint of worry.

But instead of doing anything this crimson layer didn't do anything, it doesn't affect the Executor in any way. "A Moon Ability...? For a Werewolf that has just reached first ascension, it's surprising to see you able to utilize kingly energy and use a Moon Ability" he commented.

It surprises the Executor, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of interfering with the process.

Just like what the Executor said earlier, he would let Rex tries as much as he can and will crush every attempt he does so that the despair he inflicted will be stronger than what Rex's mind can handle and finally broke his mind.

Not long after, the expanding crimson layer summoned blood from everywhere.

During the clash that he did before, Rex focused his energy to create a devastating shockwave that will expand far and wide. It was his plan to kill mutated animals and anything that got hit so that he can harness their power for himself using a skill that he gained from King Baralt.

True Werewolf King Blood Physique.

Swoosh!

The Executor, Brigitta, and Orson watched as the blood of the dead Awakened, military men, and mutated animals levitated into the air before they rushed to Rex instantly, shooting like a steel being attracted by a huge magnet.

Splashing sounds of the blood can be heard, hitting and seeping into Rex's body vigorously.

Under such an intense amount of blood that got absorbed into his body endlessly, the sensation of bloodthirst and power started to reach a new height. Rex can see his own stats rising tremendously, breaking the limitation of power he has before and shooting him into a new height of power.

Crack!

It was naught for a moment, but Rex can feel he was able to fend off the Executor's presence.

Rex's mind was completely drowned in bloodlust as his fighting spirit was riled up to the maximum, both of his horns already started glowing red and his bloodthirsty eyes glaring at the Executor. "If it's a battle you seek, I'm going to give you one, Executor!!"

"Keep on dancing, I'll show you absolute despair!!" the Executor also roared louder.

Swoosh!

Both of them pounced at each other, cracking the ground beneath their feet with their raw power.

Even though he was in a desperate situation against a being that is renowned and feared by the Supernaturals, Rex is not going to give up and keeps on fighting. On the other hand, the Executor is enjoying the exercise he got from finally awakening, a delightful exercise that he wouldn't reject.

Boom!

Unlike the fight earlier, both of them started clashing in the sky with insane speed.

Like a collision between two shooting stars, their fights take the huge space in the sky and decorated the night with numerous sparkles of shockwave and power. Rex tensed his entire body after dodging an attack before he launched a powerful swipe of his own, cloaked with the Unholy Claws of the Reaper skill.

With the Origin energy cloaking his claws, the Executor got hit and launched into the ground.

Kaboom!

'My attack... I managed to force him to move with my attack!' Rex thought excitedly, he was exhilarated to not be completely overwhelmed by the Executor. It was quite a progression, the True Werewolf Blood King Physique proves to be working.

Standing up from the crater and rubble, the Executor looks up to the sky with a nasty smile.

"Nice trick, Royal Black Prince. But it's my turn now..."

Whispering eerily, the Executor crossed his arms in front of his chest before sparks of purple energy can be seen cloaking his entire body. It sent a shot of eeriness to Rex's heart, and he can feel the ominosity from the Executor's body growing and growing.

Rex can see the Executor's claws which are thin and long becoming fiercer and longer.

But he was not given too much time to inspect the Executor's claws, 'Where did he go?!' Rex exclaimed inside his head, he saw the Executor standing still for a moment but in the next second his presence vanished completely.

It was shocking and Rex's body instantly jolt when he feels a cold sensation on his nape.

Looking over his shoulder he saw the Executor's vambrace that spiraled on his right arm glowed purple alongside his claws, the maniacal smile on his face showed that he has prepared something for Rex, "Now death is getting closer to you, Royal Black Prince..."

BAM!!

"HAAHKK!!" Rex's mouth burst with blood as he was the one planted into the ground now.

Boom!

Rex lay on the ground feeling the devastating effect of that attack, he looked down at his chest and saw it got torn open. If it was not for his concentrated energy the effect would be way worst, and if not for his regenerative ability he wouldn't be able to recover from this.

<Warning! The user has been influenced by the Touch of Death skill!>

<A skill that contains Chaos energy that focuses on penetration and attack to the soul. Two more hits are estimated before the user will be induced by a true death, be careful!>

'I can only sustain three attacks even with my strong soul? I'm in trouble..."

Boom!

Out of nowhere, the Executor landed back on the ground with a powerful landing.

Although he has already given this fight his all, the fight was still one-sided. Rex realized that he can't beat the Executor with his current power, he can only get stronger, even more, to actually win against the Executor.

Rex is on par against the Executor earlier, but the moment Chaos energy appeared he was beaten.

Just like he thought the fusion of four fundamental elements is the Executor's true power, and he was not using it before at the start of their battle. But now, after Rex managed to break his limitation, the Executor showed a glimpse of that power.

Immediately after that, Rex was struck with this powerful Touch of Death skill.

Forcing his body to stand, he was not shown any mercy as his cheek was slashed by something. Rex touches his cheek and finds blood oozing out, showing that he has been cut but he didn't realize it. The Executor is already on his back, he slashed Rex with unseeable speed.

<Inflicted by the Touch of Death skill, one more hit before death!>

"As you know, the world has always been ruled by the strong. Power is everything in this world, there's nothing you can't do if you have power. And right now, you are not powerful enough to beat me, Royal Black Prince. Therefore, you are going to lose everything you have to me..." the Executor mutters evilly.

But this makes Rex's expression darkens, he clenched his fists with anger, "I know..."

"Hmmm...?" The Executor turns around to look at Rex.

Rex is kneeling on the ground in his broken state, his left arm is gone, his chest is torn open, and his body is riddled with wounds. Despite his state, there's still an air of unyielding around him, "Don't talk to me about power, what do you know about power? What do you know about the struggle of searching for power?!"

Looking over his shoulder with burning glaring eyes, he looks at the Executor without fear.

"A being that is born with power like you doesn't have the right to talk to me about power, you are given that power by the First Human Emperor while I..." Rex raised his claws before fueling with his kingly energy, "I dedicated my entire life to this, I sacrificed everything to get this strong! Unlike you...I earned this strength."
