Rex managed to reach Iris in ti.
He could sense the wickedness inside of Stelios and was ready to protect Iris.
Observing Stelios attentively, Rex could gauge his strength and abilities and prepared a counter to deal with him. Casting the King of Kings skill as well as the Latch of Chains skill simultaneously, he easily suppressed Stelios' abilities.
Choosing the Latch of Chains skill was the right thing to do.
It would be way harder to fight soone like Stelios without such a locking skill.
Despite not being able to tap into Nivellen's power properly, he could still deal with this kind of enemy.
Boom!
Managing to strike a savage uppercut, empowered by the Brutal Impulse ability, Rex knocked Stelios off the ground and even broke so of the bones in his wings. Not stopping at that— keeping a rciless flow of attack, he leaped and charged his claws with all kingly energies.
Enhanced with the Primordial Step skill, he easily reached Stelios by the ti it took for him to blink.
It was a flawless combo, leaving Stelios with no way to avoid this attack.
Recognizing that this was a real chance for him to land a direct hit to Stelios and potentially swing the tide of the battle in his direction, Rex also poured his red force and cast Honeyed Claws skill into his claws—and slashed down in a vicious arc.
His sharp black steel claws, coated with gold liquid pierced the air, creating a sharp grating sound.
No matter how strong he is, he wouldn't be able to co out of this unscathed!
Swoosh!
Rex poured everything into this attack.
In the next second, his eyes widened when his reality suddenly distorted like a broken movie.
Everything beca blurry and broken but it returned back to normal in an instant.
However, once it returned back to normal, his eyes widened seeing that his claws missed—Stelios oddly shifted a couple of ters to the side, avoiding his slash by a hair's length. Rex could not stop his arc and missed, he couldn't believe that he missed.
What happened…?
Just before he could register what had happened, Stelios slapped Rex away with his wing.
Boasting his insanely fast reflex, Rex managed to hold onto Stelios' wing before he was thrown away.
He dragged Stelios with the montum, hurling them both hundreds of ters away.
Rex reacted this way so that he would still be in the way between Stelios and Iris.
And he succeeded.
Both of them rolled across the snowy ground roughly, the influx of energy that was produced by their clash was probably reaching the Zahara Consortium they didn't care. Stopping exactly across each other on their bellies, Rex and Stelios gazed ahead and slowly pushed themselves up to their feet.
A daunting smile crossed Stelios face while a frown crossed Rex's.
Despite his success in keeping Stelios away from Iris, that move earlier was scary.
It felt like I had no control, almost as if nothing in my arsenal could block that distortion. Even though he sohow managed to avoid my attack which should've been inevitable—I still had a fraction of a second to redirect my attack to him again.
With my reaction speed, I definitely could do that. I know I could do that. But sohow, I can't.
It's like every essence of my being acknowledged that I missed and there's nothing I could do.
System, what the heck was that?
Spooked by that ability, Rex shifted to the System for help.
He knew that the System, with its upgrade, could easily analyze that eerie occurrence.
And he was right.
Does it an this power is unique to only Stelios?
What does it do, this Slash of Destiny?
