Chapter 1293 Three Sundering Oblivion
Rex simply refused to avoid this attack as the System suggested.
No matter how much he tried to avoid it, he was an Alpha, he couldn't show weakness when the others were fighting so vigorously, alongside him. He could even feel the excitement the others felt, permeating into his heart.
For them, this moment was pure bliss.
Being able to fight alongside him was definitely a pleasure and also an achievement for them.
Even against the Fifthborn, the others weren't involved directly in the final fight.
But this time, their help was present, helping Rex battle a God.
That alone was enough to make Rex stand his ground and confront Yulthar head-on, but now he also felt the amount of energy, Nivellen was giving him—despite her condition. It reflected how much she wanted him to win this, his entire body was brimming with kingly energy.
Having no authority to help her previous avatar, she bore deep regret and was in pain.
Now, however, with her being free, she could do anything she wished.
And her wish right now was to aid Rex in winning this battle with everything she had.
At this moment, nobody could stop her from doing that.
Under such support, there was no way Rex would be cowardly enough to avoid this attack.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Seeing that Rex's arrogance is high enough to confront an attack from him, Yulthar grinds his teeth—and decides not to pull anything back. Even if the consequence would be great, there was no chance he was going to let a mortal make a mockery of himself.
"Rrraaggh!"
In a fearsome display of power, Yulthar grabbed his lance with both hands.
A torrent of energy rampage from this move, but he persevered.
Splash!
Yulthar split his white lance, into three thinner lances, and spread these lances above him, both his arms outstretched to the side—as he was silhouetted by the Honey Moon behind him. As he did that, he fixed his murderous eyes on Rex.
"No mortal shall defy a God, not even you, Royal Black Prince," Yulthar said raspingly.
Upon saying that, he floated higher above the battlefield.
Swoosh!
Torrential energy surged around him—swirling violently, as though he had become the eye of a cosmic storm. Rex, along with the Silverstar Pack and the other onlookers nearby could not sense the energy through normal means, the energy Yulthar exuded was of a higher realm.
It was the celestial energy.
But their esoteric senses screamed in warning.
An otherworldly force was building, something beyond their comprehension.
Even the hurricane, summoned moments ago, was now being drawn back into Yulthar's body—spiraling around him with a haunting grace. He hovered above, as the dignified God he was—his gaze cold and detached, surveying the puny mortals below him.
Not far away, Princess Selene stood trapped within the battle's barrier earlier.
She didn't want to be a part of this anymore but was stuck here.
Just then, she glanced up, her breath got trapped in her throat, as the Honey Moon began to vibrate violently, "What is going on...?" She mused. Then, before her eyes, the moon split into four—each a glowing full moon.
The Honey Moon, the Blood Moon, the Violet Moon, and the Yule Moon hung ominously.
Each came to appear in the dark sky.
In the next second, Princess Selene gasped, clutching her body as the moonlight energy was too much, pouring into her with its four different influences—devouring her mind, and making her insane.
Responding to such a cataclysmic situation, the world's energy spiked.
Yulthar could feel his consciousness being pulled out of Prince Leif's body gradually.
Even then, he was not going to surrender to the law before he did what he had come to do. Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire
Raising both arms above his head a forceful grunt escaped his lips as his celestial energy, an invisible energy to mortals, burst forth. Rex and the others watched in stunned disbelief. Out of the four full moons in the sky, three—the Honey, Blood, and Violet Moons, began to crack, fracturing into countless pieces.
A thunderous crack was created from each crack, rupturing the ears of those who heard it.
Even as they broke apart, they continued to radiate an eerie, otherworldly glow.
<Warning!>
<Warning!>
<Notice: It's advised to avoid this attack!>
Just like the time when he was ambushed, by the chaos serpent in the desert, the System was drowning his vision with red warning signs, alerting him of what was coming—but this only made Rex laugh, looking at the sky above with bloodshot eyes.
He was laughing maniacally as these notifications confirmed it for him.
It is powerful, but you didn't tell me to run so that means I have a chance, right?!
Unlike back when he was fighting the chaos serpent, this time, there was no notification that told Rex to run. He was only advised to avoid this attack—so the chances of him against this attack were bigger compared to the attack from the chaos serpent.
Capitalizing on his earth element, Rex created a tall platform of earth, lifting him up.
He rose until he was satisfied before he flared his chest and challenged Yulthar.
ROAR!!
Seeing this, Yulthar siphoned the shattered moons toward him with a powerful pull.
For a brief moment, the entire world darkened, darker than the darkest night.
All remnants of the moons came like torrents and swirled into the three lances that hovered above Yulthar. His expression grew even colder, as his gaze locked onto Rex—who was still defying him mercilessly.
But that was not going to hold on for long.
Yulthar pointed his hand at Rex commandingly before a godly chant escaped his mouth.
"Deific Incantation: Three Sundering Oblivion..."
SWOOSH!!
RUMBLE!!
A devastating chant whispered from his lips, barely audible but laced with cosmic power.
Even though Rex embraced this final clash, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
In a fraction of a second, there was silence—a profound silence that covered the entire area.
Akin to the silence before a storm, everyone's attention was focused on Yulthar.
Despite saying it in a whisper, the words that came out of Yulthar's mouth rang loudly.
The three lances, now charged with the remnants—of the shattered moons—descended, like streaks of colorful light, diving down like three phoenixes. Each lance aimed to strike Rex and the world with the fury of a God, quaking the earth beneath them.
At the center of this catastrophic power stood Rex.
Krrkk!
He looked around and found that the space around him was locked.
It prevented him from escaping, but he ignored this as he had no intention of running away.
Instead, he retaliated, calling upon the last vestiges of his strength.
Rex activated the Ice and Snow ability he had purchased, his last chance, amplifying his aura with the third kingly energy. His entire being thrummed with power as he prepared to face an attack from a God-like being.
Swooosh!
Shingg!
Pulling his entire strength, Rex created a multi-layered dome of protection around himself.
His energy rushed and created this dome rapidly, the outer layer shimmered with his lunar element, a shield of pure lunar mana enhanced by Amanir's spirit energy. He was stronger with the four moons decorating the sky. The second layer crackled with black lightning—it was also empowered by every ounce of Devo's spirit energy.
The third layer was a barrier of red force, while the innermost layer, the fourth was his kingly energy infused with moonlight and unyielding will. As the three lances descended upon him, Rex's heart thudded in his chest, the thrum of energy matching the beat of his pulse.
It was not fear that caused this, only his enhanced stimulation from the peak of the moment.
For someone who thrives in a battle to the death, this was the sacred moment.
Rex was intoxicated by the feeling this moment gave him.
A moment that made him feel alive, playing on the edge of death but still anticipating life.
Defying the celestials, he stood firm on this elevated platform without any hint of fear.
Feeling the might was crushing down at him, the colorful energies from the lances reflected in Rex's eyes, time seeming to slow, as the distance between him—and the celestial demise closed in a matter of seconds.
Then finally, the impact.
Swish...
KABOOM!!!
The three lances struck the edge of Rex's dome, and a clash of power exploded.
A shockwave of devastating force—tore through the battlefield, splitting the earth in jagged, violent lines for dozens of miles in every direction. The clash itself was blinding—a force that would have made humanity's most powerful nukes seem like firecrackers in comparison.
For a moment, everything was consumed by the blast.
Rex endured the attack and instantly, blood was gouged out of his mouth.
"Raargghhk!!" He grunted fiercely, feeling his internal organs were in turmoil from this.
Holding on was a challenge, the piercing power of the lances was devastating.
In a matter of seconds—the outer layer was shattered, causing Amanir—to scream inside his head from the backlash. Similarly, the second layer, despite the abundance of lightning mana in the surroundings, also shattered, holding no more than three seconds.
Devo's voice soon followed, tinted with extreme anguish as he got instantly knocked out.
Just like the earlier layers, the third broke, and Rex was now standing on one layer.
He raised his gaze and found that the tip—of the three lances were right in front of him, they were only separated, by a thin barrier of kingly energy. If they pierced through, Rex would be stabbed in the chest and thigh—one aiming at his heart.
Despite pouring every ounce of energy into his defenses, Rex felt the final barrier cracking.
His muscles bulged, straining against the immense force of the three divine lances.
Even his entire being screamed for release, yet he smiled—defiant, determined.
Soon, the cracks spread, light pouring through and Rex knew he couldn't hold it but his smile never faltered. In the next instant—the lances pierced through and struck with overwhelming power, he held the other two, and coughed a mouthful of blood at the third lance, that struck his chest, sending him hurtling down like a meteor.
CRASH!!
Rex crashed into the earth on his two feet with a deafening roar.
His hands were burning from making direct contact with the Honey and Blood lances.
"Grrgghh...!"
He tried holding onto the two lances, but the Violet lance that was drilling into his chest was not, making it easy. Blood splattered onto his face endlessly, the act was violent, but he lost his grip when the Violet lance pierced through him.
Boom!!
All that was left was Rex, all three lances speared through him from three different angles.
Even then, he managed to divert its position, sparing his heart from the blow.
"Kaahhrhk!"
A mouthful of blood burst from his mouth as he was pinned on his spot, he couldn't move.
Despite the result ending up like this, Rex took this as an absolute win—as back during their first encounter, he needed the System's help to block a God's blow. But now—he could do it on his own.
Looking skywards, the smile on his face grew.
Yultar, even though he was still floating, was evidently struggling to keep his consciousness.
Behind him was a black hole made of the world's energy, pulling him into it.
Rex could see that the suction was so strong that Yulthar was forced to actively fly away, he was running out of time, and was having a lot of trouble staying in this realm. But then, turns out his attack was not over.
Above him was still the Yule Moon, and it also shattered and formed a piercing sharp lance.
Unlike the other ones, this one was infused with the Yule Moon's energy.
I can't take this one! Other moons' powers are fine, I could heal from them, but this one... the Yule Moon? Even the wound, I suffered from earlier, was still there. It hasn't healed. I need to be free from this first!
Even though he knew what he would need to do to confront this, he needed to be free.
As he summoned an item from his inventory, he hissed at a sharp pain.
Looking down, he gritted his teeth finding the Blood lance branched and stabbed his arm.
Its roots pierced deep into him, immobilizing his right arm completely.
Swoosh!!
Making one final attack, Yulthar, fired the Yule lance, it brought along swirling ashes around it that would kill a Werewolf instantly, even if that Werewolf was as strong as Rex. Seeing this—Rex was running out of option.
Damn it, I need to use my last Invincible Item!
Roar!!
Just then, however, Rex's eyes widened when he heard a roar coming from the side.
He glanced to his right and saw a familiar figure.
It surprised him when the figure turned into silvery energy and seeped into his body.
Looking down, he saw a second heart, a glowing black heart appeared inside of him.
