Chapter 1033 I Will Kill You

Finding Rex's location is not that hard for the Witch of Chaos to do.

A small portion of her cursed energy was embedded inside Rex's body to act as a tracker, in case she needed to locate him as soon as possible. It was within Rex's consent, as in the motion of his plan, the two of them are on the same side.

So there's no problem in letting her leave a tracker on him.

Moreover, Rex had already expected her to come, conveying exactly this message.

It was time for the final showdown to begin.

A flow of adrenaline quickly sabotaged his bloodstream and made his body tense.

"Gistella did it huh..." Rex mused with both of his fists clenched, a small sense of relief invading his heart. "I was reluctant to use her, but I'm glad that she managed to pull it off. Witch, when you get there, tell her to take a low profile and prioritize her safety"

"Shouldn't you be able to do that yourself?" the Witch raised an eyebrow in confusion.

But this made Rex shake his head dejectedly.

Even though he initially thought that this wasn't going to be a problem, it became a problem.

"No, I can't communicate with her. I guess the Executor put some kind of barrier, knowing full well that I might still be communicating with her," Rex replied, voicing out his assumptions. "I was not expecting him to do this, but it doesn't matter. Then again, I still couldn't believe that he hadn't caught on, and Gistella was still safe there"

Upon hearing this, the Witch chuckled in hubris, brushing his words as nothing.

"What's so funny about what I said?" Rex asked with a frown.

Covering the smile on her face, the Witch assured, "If I were you, I wouldn't be too worried about that. I'm quite sure that the Passue Matriarch is the only thing inside the Executor's mind right now, that's his biggest threat"

"Passue Matriarch...?" Rex muttered in confusion.

Rex knew a lot about the Executors, but he had never heard of the Passue Matriarch.

Already expecting that Rex was not aware of this, because if he did, then he wouldn't be as worried as now, the Witch explained further, "It's the guardian of the Symposium, the mother of the Passues, a Homunculus made by the Ancient Humans. Its power could rival even the powerhouses of the ancient era, and would only attack humans. A lot of people were afraid of it in the past, even including those who are in the twelfth-rank realm"

Such information forced Rex to halt his breath for a moment.

Even at this current moment, he doesn't know anyone who is in the twelfth-rank realm.

He knew that the Elders of the Supernaturals who he encountered were stronger than the ninth rank if not for the First Breath, but he doubted any of them reached the apex. At most, the Elders were around the eleventh-rank realm.

Now that he knows it could frighten the twelfth-rank realm Awakened, it must be horrifying.

But then again, Rex had already seen a fair share of horrifying beings.

Looking at Rex's expression, the Witch then continues, "Before you compare this Passue Matriarch to other horrifying beings, know that this time will be different. You will be scared of it too, Royal Black Prince..."

Upon hearing this, Rex nodded solemnly.

If the Executor is very wary of the Passue Matriarch, then he should be too.

"What do you mean it only attacks humans?" Rex asked again.

Considering the war against the Supernaturals, he found it hard to believe this.

"In the past, the Symposium was located at the heart of the main Kingdom under the ancient human empire, thus Supernaturals are not the problem. It was other humans that wanted to cause chaos who were a problem" the Witch replied.

Rex nodded in understanding.

Now that she put it that way, it makes sense for the Passue Matriarch to only attack humans.

But as she said that, Rex looked down in contemplation.

He never knew about the existence of the Passue Matriarch, it was new for him.

Due to that very reason, he hasn't prepared anything against the Passue Matriarch. However, a question then appeared inside his mind, "If compared with the Executor, who do you think would most likely win?"

"Chaos element doesn't work on it, so the Executor would lose," the Witch replied firmly.

Not a sliver of doubt could be heard in her voice.

So that means the Executor is likely pulling out all stops to reach the Symposium and seize the sacred weapon. When he gets that, the Passue Matriarch shouldn't be a problem to him anymore. He's probably thinking of sacrificing his entire army to buy time for him. Knowing the Executor, such a heartless strategy is well within the realm of possibility.

It was true that Rex was now detached from the humans completely.

Rex had made a place where humans and Supernaturals could co-exist with each other.

But that doesn't mean he was okay with the Executor's strategy.

Additionally, he had already made a tentative commitment to Giana and Prof. K that he would be helping humanity from the Executor's cruelty. In moments like these, he should also think about the welfare of humanity and the implications for their future.

In this case, if the army was destroyed, then Ratmawati City would be in a lot of trouble.

While he contemplates, he also clenches his jaw strongly.

Speaking logically, the best way to tackle this fight is to make way for the Passue Matriarch to confront the Executor, but... I don't want that, I want to be the one—I want it to be these hands that ripped the life out of the Executor's body.

Despite being the logical move, Rex is very reluctant to do that.

He wanted to show the Executor that his concept of power was nothing but nonsense.

It would be the end of their argument of power.

Just then, the Witch interrupted his thoughts, bringing him back to reality, "I will proceed as you have planned—to approach the Executor and prepare the black goat. Given our shared history, he will likely accept me back. However, a friendly reminder from me... If by the time the Executor seizes the weapon, you haven't attained the ninth epiphany, the Gem won't be corrupted successfully"

"You said it yourself, the sacred weapon is a two-piece equipment. Of course, I recognize your strength and believe you can survive, just as I will be able to survive but..." the Witch gestured to their surroundings. "the others will undoubtedly die"

Upon hearing this, Rex's expression darkens almost instantly.

Flashes of his nightmare from the other night resurfaced and terrorized his mind again.

Every single scream from the others was ringing inside his ears.

Among the recurring nightmares that haunted his slumber, this one in particular was etched itself deeply into his consciousness. Its vividness allowed him to recount every detail, every uttered words the others said in that nightmare.

He felt unease by this, but he could do nothing aside from keep on moving forward.

"I know that already, there's no need to remind me," Rex retorted.

Seeing the evident irritation mixed with worry in his eyes, the Witch smiled in content, "Even an animal would work even harder when threatened with death. For you, Royal Black Prince, you don't fear death, I can tell. But there are other things that you fear,"

"I'm merely helping you jolt your mind, and reach the ninth-epiphany" She smirked lightly.

After saying that, she chuckled as her body dissipated.

Even when her entire being was evaporated into nothingness, turning into a smoke of cursed energy, the chuckle still lingered for half a minute longer. Only when it was gone completely that Rex's expression turned serious.

From the conversation with the Witch, he gained more dreadful insights.

It seemed he had more burdens to bear.

Rex sat cross-legged and clasped his hands in front of his face, gauging his current situation.

Currently, Elder Nolacula and Elder Tilrith are prepared to supply me with an army, and even potentially help me directly. Other high-rank Supernatural races were unresponsive, and, it's small, but there was even a chance that they were plotting against me. But with them alone, I should be able to deal with the human army.

But now, in addition to the Executor, I also would need to deal with the Passue Matriarch.

Just from roughly assessing his situation, it was already bad.

A lot of things could go extremely wrong, and he has limited resources to work with.

Damn it! Had I not called into his trap and been honest with Gistella about the existence of the System, my situation wouldn't be this dire! I really miscalculated which ended up with losing the strongest option I had.

If Rex didn't fall into that trap, he would be in a way better position than this.

Now, every feature is closed to him.

However, despite lamenting his predicament just moments ago, a sly grin graced his face. He covered his face with one hand, indulging in a quiet chuckle that gradually escalated into a maniacal outburst of laughter.

Had Calidora and Mavenna heard this, they would've thought that Rex had gone crazy.

Even though it would've been better to have the System, without it will put ourselves on equal grounds, Executor. I lust for your death with my claws. Even with the addition of the human army you brought, and the Passue Matriarch, my claws are inevitable.

I will kill you.

...

Meanwhile, there was an ongoing battle somewhere far from Calidora's castle.

A couple of hundred Red Demons and Vampire could be seen.

Based on the state of the battle, they seemed to be retreating tactfully with a clear fear in their eyes. Most of them came from the older generations, hardened through the horrifying battles in the past, but they still experienced imminent fear.

It was a fear sprouted by the opposing side which consisted of only two figures.

Following the orders from the higher-ups, these Supernaturals came and attacked the supply route belonging to the marching human army led by the Executor. Since they prepared an ambush, the guards, guarding the route were defeated by them.

None of them managed to survive the ambush.

Under the sudden ambush, they were only barely able to react and defend themselves.

Just like that, another supply route was put down.

It would only be a matter of time before the army lacked the resources to push forward.

But as the Supernatural skirmishers were about to go back and report their success, there was a sudden tear in reality that appeared right at their center. Coming out of it was a stuff of nightmares.

Worse of all, they all recognized this monstrous creature that arrived before them.

"It's- It's Lisnguanx!!" One of them shouted in horror.

Realizing what they were facing was one of the minions of Chaos belonging to the Executor, their countenance was instantly drained from all colors before in the next second, all of them retreated like fleeing rabbits.

Boom!

However, one stomp from Lisnguanx propelled them skywards.

Gripping its halberd tightly, the monstrous creature made a cleaving motion that hit all of the Supernaturals that were propelled into the air. Some of them got brutally split in half, dying almost instantly under its power.

But the worst fate happened to those who survived.

"M- MY ARM! Kahhkk—It won't heal!"

"Raarghhk!"

Each of them fell to the ground again and whimpered in crippling agony.

Despite their Supernatural prowess, being able to regenerate even if their limbs were cut off, the damage inflicted by Lisnguanx seemed to be permanent. None of them managed to even see a glimpse of recovery.

Better yet, their wounds only worsened with each passing second.

In the blink of an eye, Lisnguanx was able to render hundreds into nothing but crippled.

Scanning its devious eyes, hidden underneath its full helmet, Lisnguanx cloaked the blade of its halberd with chaos element and made another tear in reality with a smooth slash. Under the onlookers' eyes, hideous smaller creatures started pouring out.

Each vie for violence and hunger, judging from their sadistic smiles alone.

With a raise of its finger, the summoned creatures charged forward, tearing anything in sight.

For a couple of minutes, there were only painful wails and shouts resounding in the area.
