Inside the throne room where red is the major color decorating its grandiose, Rex is sitting on the red throne with a straight posture that of a leader. He leans back slightly on the red throne with both of his arms mightily rested on both armrests of the red throne.
With how he's sitting with an open and tense body, Rex looks more domineering.
But his eyes are currently closed with transfusion of mana that created two thick intervals attaching his head to a herculean stormy spirit behind him, it seems he's ditating. Both of them are ditating.
Reaching the eighth rank requires the harmony of the spirit and the Awakened.
The spirit core must be connected and fully grasped by the mind of the Awakened before linking it to the spirit core of the spirit associated with the Awakened, in this context, Rex needs to create a link onto Devo and strengthen it.
It was easier than done since despite only needing to link both of their spirit cores together, the spirit core is linked to every dia around his body and ford a complex relation.
For Rex to reach the eighth rank, he needs to link his spirit core with each of his limbs.
Although it should take an Awakened years upon years just to build this strong foundation and create harmony within themselves first, Rex has it very easy thanks to the Unification Insight Pill. It helped him create harmony with himself on a whim.
Now Rex only needs to create a strong link connecting his and Devo's spirit core.
Upon achieving Spirit Unification with the associated spirit and reaching the eighth rank realm, an Awakened will be able to rge with the spirit and enter a form called Spirit Gladiator.
It's a state or a being where an Awakened fused with their associated spirit.
The Spirit Gladiator is not just two being rged into one creating one stronger being, but it's way more than that. Aside from acting like a buff that makes the Awakened stronger in terms of physical prowess and spirit/mana prowess, the Spirit Gladiator state also fastens the thinking capability and the course of energy inside their bodies.
Spirit Gladiator has an innate ability to perceive things way faster than a seventh rank Awakened, in fact, they can perceive things 10 tis faster than a seventh rank Awakened. Their spell casting and movent are faster, and they can even manipulate the mana of other Awakened.
For soone to be able to do that ans they have absolute control of the other Awakened.
The eighth rank Awakened is just that strong but they can only do that in their Spirit Gladiator form. Back during his final trap for Wesley, Rex poisoned him so he can't go into his Spirit Gladiator form.
If Wesley manages to use his Spirit Gladiator form, Prof. K might not be able to injure him easily.
Rex has just bought the information about the eighth rank Awakened a couple of days ago from the system, and because of that he really wanted to reach the eighth rank. It will work wonderfully with him, his senses are strong enough and now he knows he can amplify it ten tis.
All he needs to do is to reach the eighth rank realm, and he exactly tries to do that.
Hearing small and light footsteps that are slowly getting closer to the throne room, Rex and Devo slowly open their eyes simultaneously. Their movents are in sync, almost trippy to look at.
Blitz!
A spark of sky black lightning blitzes in their eyes as they look at the door.
The two intervals made of mana and spirit energy linking both of their minds together vanished signing that they were not ditating anymore, and Devo swiftly went back to Rex's shadow.
Rex glanced to the window and finds that the sun is at its peak,
Ever since he gets the souls of the Succubus and gives them to Ryze so that he can strengthen his soul and overpowers Zaddrass', Rex has been in close-door training preparing himself for what's about to co.
Not only does he works on reaching the eighth rank, but his Lunar Light also got attention.
With the help of the variability of items in the system's shop, Rex manages to reach the peak of the fifth rank in his Lunar Light side after just ditating for two days. It was a fast process and now he can associate with a spirit to reach the sixth rank on his Lunar Light side.
Upon reaching the sixth rank, he will also evolve his bloodline into exalted just like Evelyn.
Exalted Human or even Werewolf is a progressive bloodline achieved by being a Dual Elentalist with both elents reaching the sixth rank realm, Rex will receive this after reaching the sixth rank realm in his Lunar Light and his spells will beco deadlier.
Kyran has got back to the mansion after infiltrating the Hester Family's mansion.
Back when he was still infiltrating the mansion, Kyran kept communicating with Rex through telepathy dictating and asking about the items he saw and the feeling he felt. It becos safer with the telepathy between them.
The mirror statue should be the Sculpture of Replica.
It was one of the items needed to finish the Blood Moon Quest of commitnt, but Rex doesn't need it anymore since the Blood Moon Quest has been changed into a different one thanks to the Kaiser of the Scarlet Garland.
From that alone Rex knows that the Hester Family is searching for him.
Kyran is confused about how the Hester Family managed to get that information when even he himself doesn't know that Rex needed a Sculpture of Replica, but Rex knows instantly that the Hester Family got their information from the Rirgas Family.
Only Luisella knows about the Sculpture of Replica, no one else besides her.
But since they give in ti to search for the Sculpture of Replica themselves, it seems they are not trying to be hostile to the Silverstar Family. In fact, they seem to want sothing from Rex.
This works perfectly as Rex also needed them to help him with the quote set by Sebrof.
Aside from the Hester Family managing to get the Sculpture of Replica, Kyran also gains the knowledge of William that turns out to not be an Awakened, 'I can use that upon eting her, at least if their request is too much'
While thinking to himself, Rex heard the sound of the footsteps arriving beyond the door.
Hearing this, he then opens his stats to see his improvent.
Pack: Silverstar (4/5)
Level: 51 (26,373,500,000/54,000,000,000)
Race: Royal Black Werewolf
Full-Moon: 25 Days - Ice and Snow Moon
Berserk: 65%
Sanity: 53%
ntal: 2235( 357)
Strength: 3080( 790)
Agility: 2633( 677)
Endurance: 2527( 921)
Intelligence: 3773 ( 120)
Just from a glance, he instantly recognizes that his stats have beco ridiculously high.
The increase he got from the blessing of the Countess of the Dark Luniric raises his ntal stat by 1000 points while the Luna Grace effect raised each of his physical stat by 1000 points, his base form right now almost matches those in the mid-seventh rank realm.
Even compared to Rurvi whom he t in the underground canyon, his stats have beco comparable to it without any enhancent needed he can fare well against Rurvi.
If added with enhancent, Rex might just be compared to the peak of the seventh rank realm.
Aside from his ntal and physical stats, his intelligence stat also raised by a few hundred from reaching the peak of fifth rank in his Lunar Light elent side. It's a big increase bearing in mind that it has only been a couple of days.
Other Awakened will definitely vomit in jealousy knowing Rex's increase in power.
For this kind of speed, it's safe to say that Rex is the most talented and fastest in terms of Awakened power compared to anyone around. Nobody can beat him in terms of getting stronger faster.
Upon checking his stats up and down, he then closed the stats window again.
Rex tries to get up from the red throne sensing that the footsteps have already arrived beyond the door, and he also already knows what this person beyond the door is going to say. But just as he pushes himself up from the red throne he suddenly felt a sting coming from his right arm.
It was a sting that he didn't expect, he looks at his right arm and finds a red mark there.
'I'm surprised it's still there, why is it taking long to heal?', Rex thought while looking at the red mark on his hand, his mind then went back to a couple of days ago when he was in closed-door training.
~
A couple of days ago,
Rex is standing in the middle of the throne room with a serious expression, he's currently preparing himself to train his Ethos to increase his mastery over his red force. It was physical training, but not quite that simple.
Putting on steel red claws on his right hand, he then looks at the void in front of him.
'Here goes nothing...', Rex thought before he slashes the void in front of him using the red claws as it tear open the fabric of his dinsion and created a portal, it was not the world of the living beyond the portal.
But it's the dinsion of Ethos that anyone can use to train their force power.
Stepping into the portal will be a foolish move as the power from the Ethos dinsion can rip anything into shreds easily, the system even specifically said that no being below the power of an Origin can enter the Ethos dinsion and co back safely.
It was suicide to enter this Ethos dinsion in his current state, but this dinsion is needed to train his Ethos red force so his mastery can over the red force increases.
After opening the red portal, Rex stretches his hand and chants, "Band of Ethos..."
Imdiately after he chanted that, four strings made of pure red force Ethos protrude out of the Ethos dinsion. Rex activates his red force as his body got cloaked by a sizzling thick layer of red energy before the red strings wrap around his arms and legs.
"Rrrghhh...!", Rex gritted his teeth at the strings making contact with his red force.
Since his red force only has 5% of mastery the strings recognize his red force as impure and started to absorb it to bring it back to the Ethos dinsion and purify it, Rex needed to hold out for as long as he can as the red strings of pure red force pull his red force into the Ethos dinsion.
This is the physical exercise to increase his mastery over his red force.
If Rex manages to hold off the red strings pull for long enough then so of the pure red force will be absorbed by him and also his mastery over the red force will be higher, it's a power struggle that will beneficial for him.
But that's not without risk, he needs to cut off the red strings before they manage to absorb all of his red force lest his entire body also got pulled into the Ethos dinsion.
Although red force is a unique energy in the air, so of them also exist in Rex's body.
This is why he needs to cut off the red strings using the red claw that he use to tear open the red portal earlier, and he needed to do it quickly since to have a more impact then he need to get closer to the edge of his last strand of red force before cutting the red strings off.
Rex leans his body forward while resisting the pull of the red strings with all his might.
Every muscle inside of his body goes to work giving their best to resist the pull of the red strings, the pull is so powerful that his arms and legs muscles got torn but healed a couple of tis.
Being a Werewolf also has its perks, his regenerative ability enables him to last longer.
Although the regenerative ability and Rex's sheer strength are already terrifying, he can only resist the pull of the red strings for 7 or 8 minutes maxed. On each trial, he tries to resist 5 seconds longer but on this trial, he can't do it even for a second.
Intending to cut the red strings off, Rex slashes the red strings with his red claws.
Slash!
Many of them got cut off instantly but because of his muscles being torn and regenerating, his slash missed and the red strings attached to his right arm are still there and pulling powerfully.
"Graagh!", Rex roared feeling his entire arm slowly get pulled out.
But in a desperate asure, Rex slashes the red claws once more and cuts the remaining red strings.
Imdiately after cutting the red strings, Rex got propelled forward as the red strings got pulled back into the Ethos dinsion alongside the red force that is manage to absorb from Rex. The red portal also closes after the last red strings got sucked back inside.
~
Rex looks at the mark on his right arm with a sigh,
Even with his Royal Black Prince bloodline, there's sothing that is always way stronger than him. Despite his powerful regenerative ability, the Ethos red strings contain energy that his regenerative ability finds hard to recover from.
But this excites him more than it discourages him,
The fact that there's sothing more powerful shows that he has more room to grow, not only in the Awakened departnt or even the Werewolf departnt but also in the red force part.
Soon the door to the throne room is opened after a light knocks resounded.
"Excuse ..."
A woman in a maid outfit walks inside the throne room before closing the door behind her gently, she turns to face Rex and gives a polite bow to him. Her bearing herself, and her graceful body language show Rex that she's a trained maid.
Everything about her is respectful and very pleasing to the eye.
Rex steps down from the red throne before stopping in front of the maid that is looking down to the ground with a bow, "Pardon my intrusion, sir Rex"
"Edward has assigned to remind you when a gues called Liliya arrives"
"Lady Liliya said she wanted to et you, and she is already waiting for you in the guest room with a couple of other people from the SCO. Do you want to et with them right now...?"
Upon hearing this, Rex nodded his head, "I'll et with her right now..."
"What's your na?", he added curiously.
Although he has never seen this maid or leaning more to didn't pay attention enough to recognize this maid, Rex finds her deanor pretty convincing and well-mannered. Not that the other maids are ill-mannered but this one, in particular, seems to stick out.
Bowing more deeper, the maid seems to be surprised to hear Rex's question.
"My na is Amara... My apology for not introducing myself first, I will definitely put that in mind and work harder to make up for it"
Rex chuckles lightly, "Don't worry about that Amara, keep up the good work"
With that, Rex exit the throne room with Amara opening the door for him. This can't help but makes him thought, 'I need soone aside from my pack mber to look after the mansion or even Delta, maybe I can use her. We'll see if she's trustworthy...'
