Adhara\'s eyes hardened and narrowed into slits as she stared at the figure, she couldn\'t believe that this figure is actually trying to kill Rex and expose the others so they will get kicked out from humanity.
It rattled her mind to find that even after everything, there was still someone hostile to them.
Everything that the Supernatural has taken major advancement was nullified or at least toned down by Rex that knows in advance what would happen, starting from Jarvald, the demonic cities, the Undead army, the alliance between UWO and SCO, and lastly the Vampire Stronghold.
Not only that, but he also has smaller achievements here and there.
Without a doubt, Rex has played a major role in the fight against the Supernatural.
Sebrof or whoever is the one responsible for this sneak attack should at least realize that Rex is on humanity\'s side, but it seems they just can\'t suppress their ego to work with a human-turned Werewolf.
Boom!
Upon the explosion of energy, Adhara lifted her arms while trying to sustain the pushing force.
The figure has proven to have an eighth-rank realm power judging from his appearance and the aura that acts as an added impulse to the figure\'s bearing. Even in her Werewolf form, Adhara was pushed back a couple of steps.
Even she knows that she won\'t be able to fight this figure with her current strength.
Although she has fought against eight-rank Supernatural before like Flunra, it was only due to her bloodline that can weaken Werewolves immensely to the point she becomes equal. But fighting an Awakened is a completely different story.
It\'s going to be to her disadvantage to fight such an Awakened that is also a Light Elementalist.
With the highly-concentrated mana around the figure, an explosion of light was created once again forcing Adhara to cover her head with her arms. As soon as she lowers her arms, her eyes marvel at the figure that has transformed into his Gladiator Form.
Unlike the figure\'s appearance before, now he\'s completely covered in white and golden.
The figure\'s black robe turned innocent white making his appearance hypocritical due to his rotten nature, the trace of hair poking out of his hood disappears and is replaced by white light. His arrogant demeanor is still etched despite most of his face turning astral.
\'I\'m not letting this go... you have no right!\', Adhara exclaimed inside her head.
But even though she wanted to make the first move, the figure is flying in the sky giving him a natural advantage against Adhara that can\'t fly as properly as the figure. If she wanted to fly, her hands would be occupied with balancing herself in the sky.
If both of her hands can\'t be used then she won\'t be able to fight.
"There\'s nothing you could do, Adhara. Just accept your fate, you don\'t belong with us..."
Just like an added impulse to the peaking anger rampaging inside of her, the figure\'s words stabbed her ego which makes her eyes turn bloodshot. In a fit of anger, Adhara charges at the figure with the help of her elements.
Boom!
Upon looking at Adhara\'s futile attempt, the figure laughs before dodging her attack easily.
With his ability now enhanced due to the Gladiator Form, the figure is absolutely in control giving Adhara no chance at all. Landing on the ground, Adhara charges once again without any hint of giving up.
Even though her movement was fast, she was not at the figure\'s level.
Flicking his fingers a little, the figure manipulates the purple fire enhanced by wind mana that propels Adhara upward. It sent her off-balance and using this opportunity, the figure landed a solid slap right onto the side of Adhara\'s face.
Slap!
Boom!
It was nothing but a slap, but that slap planted Adhara into the ground.
Slowly standing back up from the crater she created, Adhara looks at the figure before spitting blood to her side. This made the grin on the figure\'s face even wider as he chanted, "Ultimate Spell, Chaotic Storm of Imperial Light!"
Shingg!
A moment after that chant, Adhara looks around as she saw the figure expanding his mana.
Out of nowhere, that expanding mana turned into a square-shaped barrier made of pure light that entrapped Adhara in the middle. Not stopping at that, dozens of shimmering light dots appeared all around her.
Gritting her teeth in anger, Adhara growled at the figure menacingly.
"Let\'s see how you fair with this..."
Boom!
Boom!
Just after the figure said that the dozens of shimmering light dots fired a supersonic light beam right at Adahra, but her body senses them coming and reacted very fast. It\'s one of the traits of a Werewolf, after all. Super fast reflex.
Adhara dodges the light beams by moving each of her body efficiently just enough to dodge.
But when she was moving swiftly to dodge the light beams she suddenly felt a slight sting on her shin. Looking down at her shins, Adhara finds that she was hit, \'It bounced...?\'
Upon thinking that, Adhara got hit again on her back by the light beam.
No matter how many light beams she managed to dodge, each of them would come back again as they bounced back upon hitting the pure light barrier. They then would come from a different angle that is completely random.
Despite having an insane reflex, there\'s a limit to how fast she can move.
"To be able to survive inside my Ultimate Spell... well, you\'re a Werewolf after all. It\'s not that surprising", the figure mutters nonchalantly as if he knows that this fight would be his win either way.
It\'s clear that the figure is underestimating Adhara due to his superior realm.
Just when the figure wanted to cast another spell to make the fight harder for Adhara, his eyes suddenly dilated for a second. He saw Adhara suddenly lunge at him after suffering enough light beams that made her body bloodied.
But this makes the figure smile even wider, "You\'re not going to be able to break the barrier"
Although he was pretty confident in the square-shaped barrier that he made right now, the figure was stunned when he saw a red moon symbol appearing on Adhara\'s forehead just before she connect with the pure light barrier.
Crash!
"What?!!", the figure shouted in horror.
Even though he was not putting everything into creating that pure light barrier, Adhara shouldn\'t be able to break it that easily despite having the added penetration power from her two elements. But the red moon symbol boosts her strength even further.
It\'s the opportunity Adhara needs to land a decisive attack.
With her victory against Gistella back in the stadium, she was now the top seater in the Battle Prowess Hierarchy of the Silverstar Pack. Naturally, she inherited the Alpha Arsenal skill that grant her the Berserker\'s Curse skill.
Out of the skills in Rex\'s arsenal, the Berserker\'s Curse is one of the most-used ones.
Adhara has seen Rex and even Gistella use the Berserker\'s Curse skill multiple times and pretty much grasp the concept of the skill, and one of the benefits of the skill is a sudden burst of power it provides.
Cracking a grin, purple fire exploded underneath her feet propelling her straight at the figure.
Since the figure was caught off-guard, he was stunned for a second. It doesn\'t sound much but in a very high-paced fight like this, that one second can be exploited by either side to determine the victor of the battle.
Swoosh!
Adhara cloaks her claws with her elements and the White Omicron energy.
In just a fraction of a blink of an eye, she arrived right in front of the figure before she tries to claw the figure\'s face. The figure blinked and responded by creating a concentrated ball of light in his hands.
But the claws are already penetrating through the cheek of the figure deeply.
Even though the figure\'s face is astral which shows that physical attacks are not going to connect, Adhara\'s innate skill can also help her in reaching the figure\'s actual body with her glowing white claws.
Tap!
Adhara\'s swipe got forcefully stopped by the figure\'s right arm.
Recovering from the surprise the figure is able to stop her arm\'s momentum. But in quick succession, Adhara swipes her other claws which don\'t get obstructed by the figure at all. It landed solidly without hindrance.
Despite being caught off guard, the figure managed to create a light beam that sent Adhara away.
Slash!
Boom!
The figure\'s face got forcefully turned to the side, there was a gruesome wound left on his face from Adhara\'s claws almost ripping his face off. But Adhara also got sent crashing back down with a bloody hole in her abdomen.
It doesn\'t heal and the excruciating pain made a painful moan escape her mouth.
Veins bulged all over the figure\'s face feeling the climbing anger inside of him upon seeing the blood in his hands, he glared at Adhara before his eyes flashed murderously, "YOU BRAT! HOW DARE YOU WOUND ME?!"
Boom!!
Another light beam fired right at Adhara but this one is stronger than the previous one.
"Kargghk!", Adhara grunted feeling the burning sensation in her abdomen, her body got dragged onto the ground as the light beam pushes her away leaving a trail of blood that is absolutely disturbing to look at.
With the Berserker\'s Curse activated, her wounds from the pulverizing light beam are not healing.
\'Where are the others?! I can\'t take him on alone\', Adhara shouted inside her head realizing that she was in trouble, but Evelyn and Gistella are stuck fighting Syn that wanted to pay them back for the humiliating loss.
No one was there to help her as she got dragged a couple of miles like a mat.
The figure ended the light beam before he immediately dashes and landed a distance away from Adhara, light mana gathered once more as his eyes glow brighter, "Great Spell, Entrapment of Light Clones!"
Swoosh!
About ten clones of himself were created and surrounded Adhara from all sides.
Not giving any time for Adhara to breathe and collect herself, the eleven figures chanted at the same time with a glowing orb of light in their hands, "Great Pure Light Spell! Beam of Eminence!"
Shingg!!
With only covering her head with her arms, eleven light beams shot at her mercilessly.
Each one of them makes the point of impact bubbled from the burning sensation they brought, Adhara wanted to escape this entrapment but one clone hovers above before firing yet another light beam.
Adhara is completely engulfed with light beams from all sides.
It\'s like being literally burned alive under the barrage of pure light beams, she was helpless under this entrapment and even the anger that erupted inside of her is unable to help her in this situation.
After a gruesome moment, the figure stopped and canceled the light beams.
Upon seeing Adhara already lying on the ground with her body emanating smoke, the figure scoffed before taking a couple of steps toward her. He then finds that Adhara\'s state is near death, her white furs are now dotted with black and blood.
But just as the figure was about to say something, a slight chuckle can be heard.
"Have you finally gone mad knowing that you\'re about to die...? Turns out taking you all out is easier than expected, there\'s no need for us to be cautious", the figure said arrogantly, but this doesn\'t stop Adhara\'s chuckles that now have already turned into a laugh.
Pausing for a moment, she then said, "You people have made the greatest mistake..."
"If I were you I would kill myself right now compared to what\'s about to come. But I know you morons wouldn\'t listen, so all I can say is good luck. One of the greatest assets of humanity, and you now turn him into an enemy. What kind of people does that except for morons that don\'t think with their brains", Adhara added, giving the figure a mocking glance.
Upon hearing this the figure still snorted finding what Adhara said is only an empty threat.
Slowly a longsword made of pure light appeared in the figure\'s hand intending to finish Adhara, "Keep telling that to yourself. With the death of Rex and you, the others would go down easier. Humanity doesn\'t need the help of a bunch of worthless Supernaturals"
But out of nowhere, Adhara laughs even harder as if she just heard the funniest joke in her life.
"Dead? Do you really think he\'s dead? Oh no... I\'m starting to pity you right now"
The figure\'s expression freezes for a moment but he soon shakes his head, \'No Supernatural can survive the White Chord of the Blessed Oak Tree, not even a ninth-rank realm Supernatural. She\'s bluffing\', the figure thought trying to convince himself.
"What a bunch of clowns, the one that you killed is nothing but an illusion...", Adhara added.
Like a bomb exploding inside his head, the figure looks at Adhara in disbelief trying to find out if she was bluffing or not. But there\'s no hint of bluffing on her face, she was completely serious about what she just said.
His heart feels uneasy as if there\'s a ghost creeping behind him.
"He\'s not here you fool... why would he go here to take down some measly eighth-rank Shapeshifter? It\'s not something an entity of his level should do, he\'s busy creating chaos in the Werewolf territory", Adhara quirks the right corner of her mouth up into a crooked smile, she was enjoying the expression the figure is wearing right now.
Feeling the increasing crisis inside his heart, the figure turns around before dashing away.
Ignoring the ongoing fight on his side, the figure instantly walks slowly to the center of the devastating explosion earlier and only finds a white object stabbing the ground. But as he got closer, the slower he gets.
\'N-No way... i-it can\'t be...\'
His terror mounted with every step, this was because the white object is actually the white arrow.
Half of the arrow\'s body has already dissipated into particles of energy, it\'s a one-time-use arrow. But the more important thing was that there was no corpse around the place, \'No, no, no, no, no... where\'s his corpse? where is it?! this can\'t be happening!\'
Upon seeing this, the figure slowly backs away as panic surges through him.
But out of nowhere a maniacal laugh resounded from the back that surely belongs to Adhara, the figure looks over his shoulder with eyes blinded in terror. On his back, Adhara is standing despite the wounds all over her body.
It\'s a miracle for Adhara to be standing like this but it\'s clear that she was forcing it.
Looking at the figure\'s pale expression with her lunatic eyes that are wide open while still laughing like a maniac, she then added while blood kept flowing down the corner of her mouth, "He\'s not dead! He\'s coming... HAHAHAHA!! Rex Silverstar is coming!!"
"You\'re going to die! All of you bastards are going to die!!"
