"None of you will survive", Rex said with a fierce glare.
Under the Undead\'s gaze, Rex\'s body started to make cracking sounds morphing him into a black-furred monster that is a couple of times bigger than his original size.
BOOM!
SWOOSH!!
The mix of black lightning, red force, and Supernatural energy create a powerful shockwave.
It was devastatingly powerful that even the ground surrounding Rex got peeled off, there is no restrain in Rex\'s eyes as he glared at the Undead.
Nothing will stop him, the cruelty of the Undead just poked his bad side.
<Transformation Complete>
Rex slowly turns to his back after transforming into his Werewolf form completely, his aura now is akin to a piercing blade that threatens to bend the Undead\'s legs with just a glare.
Furs were darker than night, sharp fangs replaced his teeth, with two horns sticking out.
<Sudden Quest!>
Obliterate all of the Undead around the user for drawing the user\'s wrath! An Alpha\'s wrath must be quenched until satisfaction has been reached!
Time Limit: 1 hour
Quest Reward: 300,000,000 Exp, Kox\'rol Core, Rune of Defense
The system gave Rex a sudden quest out of nowhere amplifying Rex\'s motivation to kill all of the Undead that present themselves in front of him.
More than a thousand Undead gazing at Rex with hostility,
All kinds of Undead creatures just like the zombies, the skeletons, and even liches are gazing at Rex from the direction of the black cross.
\'There are at least two thousand of them, this is good...\', Rex thought.
Out of all of them, the one that catches Rex\'s attention is three Undead as strong as the Undead he fought before if not stronger which seems to lead this army of Undead.
The three of them stand proudly in front of the army of Undead,
Rex gritted his teeth when one of the three-strong Undead has a satisfied look on its face when it saw the staked corpses of humans, its eyes even glisten excitedly as if the view is good.
But although the three is strong,
There\'s still another more powerful Undead than those three, Rex can feel it clearly.
Although it doesn\'t present itself, Rex can feel the death energy coming from this Undead that is surely watching from the dark, \'It\'s somewhere there\', Rex thought gazing in a direction.
But then, his attention was brought back to the army of Undead.
"Werewolf? Ah, you must be the infamous Alpha", one of the three-strong Undead, this one has a slim body of a human but it consists of just blackened muscle tissues.
It\'s wearing a black robe shrouded with Death Energy, and its body is glowing with red light.
<Ger Fark>

Power: Sixth rank(Mid)

Agility: 613
Endurance: 511
Intelligence: 744
Another Undead that is the biggest amongst the three with four arms then also commented, "I was curious about the Werewolf living in the humans\' territory, but seeing him in person, he\'s quite strong I must say"
"But why is his form like that? It\'s weird", he added with a frown.
Rex\'s Werewolf transformation is not the same as other Werewolves, he didn\'t become bigger and monstrous but he becomes more muscular and leaner instead.
He didn\'t have hunchbacks like other Werewolves, his posture is straight.
No matter how much the four-armed Undead looks at him, Rex\'s transformation is indeed weird.
Rex also scans this Undead to assess its power,
<Gordoz Sixt>
Race: High Undead
Power: Sixth rank(Mid)
Mental: 471
Strength: 811
Agility: 493
Endurance: 709
Intelligence: 588
Upon assessing both of them, Rex\'s eyes then landed on the last Undead which is a female undead that looks exactly like a normal human except for its pale skin and death-like energy coming out of her.
Her hair is silvery-white and she\'s gazing at Rex intently while folding her arms.
Out of the three of them, Rex finds that the strongest one is this female Undead but it didn\'t come to the point Rex needs to be extra careful from her, \'I\'ll end them all\'
"The sun just drowned...", the female Undead mutters while looking at the sky.
But the female Undead\'s expression turns into shock as her eyes landed on Rex, the energy coming from Rex instantly turns different right after night came.
<Night time! The user\'s stats have been increased by 200%!>
Rex shows his sharp fangs with a grin as his aura instantly changes, the night fueled him with power as he activates his Pure Brace of Moonlight Skill.
Because of this, his aura shot another notch making the three Undead step back.
"ATTACK HIM RIGHT NOW!!", the four-armed Undead shouted before the army of Undead rushes toward Rex like a death tide, it felt that Rex becomes too threatening for them.
RAARGH!!
KRAAH!!
The zombies and skeletons came running toward Rex without any fear.
All of their weapons and shields glow with a blue hue emitting ice magic, their bodies and weapons are enhanced by somekind of enchantment.
Just from one look, Rex knows that this is the liches\' doing.
\'I\'ll reduce their numbers\', Rex thought as his eyes blitzed with black lightning, the ground turns black as Rex uses his Black Field Orko spell.
ZOOM!
BLAST!
Black lightning tentacles burst from the blackened ground killing dozens of Undead with one strike, the army of undead turns chaotic before even reaching Rex thanks to the black tentacle.
Seeing this, the slim Undead\'s eyes glow with a red hue.
Just right after that, death energy shot to the ground and instantly canceled Rex\'s spell.
Splash!
"Werewolf using black lightning spell? You really are a weird one", the Undead said while inspecting Rex who is already battling against the army of Undead.
After saying that, the slim undead and the four-armed undead glance at each other.
Without even saying anything, both of them dash toward Rex intending to join the fight leaving the female woman that\'s a bit shaken by Rex\'s aura alone.
Rex glance at the slim Undead while clawing the army of Undead,
\'His intelligence is higher than me, Let\'s start with him\', Rex thought as he sweep his claw in a horizontal manner killing the Undead around him before he draws both of his swords.
The silver sword and the Amuerus Katana somehow grow larger than before,
It makes both of them fit in Rex\'s hand perfectly, even now Rex finds that his armor is still wrapped around his body, \'It\'s a sixth rank equipment alright\', Rex thought.
BOOM!
Rex dashes toward the slim and the four-armed Undead that is also heading toward him.
The lower-rank Undead can\'t even block Rex\'s body as they got slashed by Rex\'s swords and also the red force bursting in a circular arc every time Rex swings his swords.
<Killed a peak rank two Supernatural, Obtained 1,000 Exp>
<Killed an early fifth rank Supernatural, Obtained 500,000 Exp>
Not one Undead manage to block him,
Even getting near Rex is impossible for the lower-rank undead, the red force blocks them.
When Rex was about to collide with the two strong Undead, the four-armed Undead dash forward while the slim Undead jumped to the side.
BAM!!
The four-armed Undead already cloaked its body with Death energy but even then,
"What?!", the four-armed Undead exclaimed in shock as he got pushed away, Rex didn\'t even need to try as the four-armed Undead was sent crashing away.
His eyes then glow with a red hue as he activates his Alpha Bearing skill,
A red wave of mental attack makes all of the Undead surrounding him fall to their knees, only fifth rank Undead can still fight while the others are kneeling on the ground like sheep.
They can\'t move their bodies, they can only wait for Rex to behead them.
Even the slim Undead was shocked when even itself got affected,
Rex was already ready with both of his swords intending to slice the slim Undead into two, but then suddenly a coffin made of death energy appeared sandwiching him in between.
"Sealing Coffin!", the slim Undead chanted as the coffin entrapped Rex inside of it.
"You\'re not the only one strengthened by the night", the slim Undead remark smugly but before the slim Undead can even breathe for a second, "Great Spell, Sky Rupture!"
CRACK!
BOOM!
A lightning bolt strikes down from the sky just like a judgment of the sky, it was so fast and Rex imbued spirit energy into it to make the gap between them lessened.
Looking at the lightning bolt, the slim Undead entrapped its body in a cocoon of darkness.
BAM!
The lightning bolt got blocked by the cocoon of darkness,
But Rex already expected the slim Undead can block it as he suddenly uses a thousand lightning thorns skill to break free from the coffin.
The sealing coffin was broken instantly,
Rex then uses Force Beam cloaking his sword with red force as he slashes the cocoon of darkness.
SLASH!
"Wha-", the slim Undead widened its eyes when it saw its cocoon of darkness get sliced through.
Rex was about to slice the slim Undead into two when suddenly, multiple ice barriers appeared on the slim Undead\'s side to block Rex\'s attack.
Even still, Rex sliced through all of them easily until suddenly,
CLANG!
The sword momentum got stopped after a weird white barrier appeared, Rex is quite shocked by the white barrier since it\'s very hard to penetrate even after using 80% of his strength.
He then glance at the female Undead before he gritted his teeth.
Seeing Rex is glaring at her, the female Undead steps back unconsciously in fear.
Without backing down, Rex slashes at the white barrier once again.
CLANG!!
Sparks were created as Rex\'s two swords tries to break through the white barrier, \'What the hell?! This shouldn\'t happen, she\'s just a peak sixth rank!\', Rex thought in surprise.
The female Undead shouldn\'t be this strong,
But suddenly, the four-armed Undead dashes toward him and chants, "Spirit of the Dead! Cloaked Assault!", the four-armed Undead\'s fists glow with death energy fiercely.
It then swings four of its arms at Rex\'s swords, a powerful shockwave blasted upon the collision.
BOOM!
Rex\'s muscles started bulging as he hold onto his two swords,
With the 200% addition of stats, Rex\'s strength reaches the four-digit mark and it\'s already equivalent to a seventh rank power.
CRASH!
The four-armed Undead even with its spell didn\'t manage to push Rex even for a bit, it even has a higher strength stat than the slim Undead but it\'s still not strong enough.
Rex positioned his hands on the hilt firmly before he puts more strength,
Swish!
The Amuerus Katana and silver sword sliced through the four-armed Undead fists, all of the Undead\'s fists were sliced into two as it wails painfully.
After slicing through the four-armed Undead\'s hand, Rex\'s swords arrived again at the white barrier.
Under the extreme power behind Rex\'s attack enhanced by the night, the white barrier shatters as Rex manages to slice the slim Undead into two.
With one swift motion, Rex twists his body and slashes the slim Undead\'s head off cleanly.
SWISH!
<Killed a Mid-Sixth rank Supernatural, Obtained 15,000,000 Exp>
Just like that, one of the three-strong Undead died under Rex\'s hand swords.
The slim Undead didn\'t even manage to react to the swiftness of Rex\'s move, his reflex and agility surpass the slim Undead greatly that even his movement can\'t be seen.
Death already arrived before the slim Undead can even realize he just got beheaded.
The female Undead that is watching this scene from the side steps back in fear, she saw Rex deal with two Undead with similar strength to her easily.
Even the four-armed Undead is struggling under Rex\'s foot with his arms entangled.
Rex\'s swords cut through the four-armed Undead fists slicing them in two, his strength surpasses the four-armed Undead greatly and thus resulting in this situation.
The four-armed Undead is under Rex\'s mercy,
Watching this while sweating profusely, the female Undead can\'t believe what she\'s seeing with her own eyes especially when she saw the two horns sticking out of Rex\'s head.
Although she already felt Rex\'s powerful aura before,
The female Undead thought that with the army of Undead, and the coordinated attack by the slim Undead and the four-armed Undead beating Rex is not impossible.
But now the scene in her eyes doesn\'t match her expectations,
Rex dealt with the army of Undead easily just from one mental attack that disabled almost all of the Undead, he also take down the slim Undead and the four-armed Undead.
He didn\'t even have a scratch on him, and there\'s still the horns part.
\'P-Prince?! I-I need to flee\', the female Undead thought intending to run away.
Rex saw the bleak aura coming from her and already expected what she intend to do, he put some strength on his legs before crushing the four-armed Undead\'s chest.
He stomps the four-armed Undead again on its head killing it instantly.
<Killed a mid-sixth rank Supernatural, Obtained 13,000,000 Exp>
After getting the notification from the system, Rex saw that the female Undead already opened a dark portal beside her making a grin appear on Rex\'s face, "Pneuma Spell, Ether Blink!"
~
Delarosa Family Territory,
It\'s already night with the moon illuminating the sky, many of the Vampires here starting to go out of their homes and make the street bustling.
They\'re night creatures, so it\'s not weird for them to be active at night.
"Do you want to come with me? I\'m going to buy the Monceray from the shop", a Vampire dressed in plain clothing asks the Vampire next to him.
Hearing this, the Vampire next to him then replied excitedly, "You don\'t mean..."
"Yeah, I\'m going to buy that mutated animal. The ones that possess blood that taste almost similar to humans", the plain Vampire replied with a smile.
"Where did you get elemental stones to buy that? It\'s expensive!"
But when the plain Vampire was about to answer, his eyes then suddenly saw a carriage with the royal symbol passing the street making the other Vampires kneel on the ground.
In a hurry, the plain Vampire then said, "Kneel quick! It\'s royalty!"
The carriage walked past the Vampires on the street slowly, it went straight to the castle in the middle of the city under the others\' gaze.
While looking at the carriage, the plain Vampire widened his eyes.
"Isn\'t that the princess? Why is she doing here, did she perhaps come to visit Madam Delarosa?"
"Probably, even Sir Delarosa came out of the castle to greet the princess"
After the carriage stops in front of the gate of Delarosa\'s castle, just like the others expected, Calidora steps out from the carriage gracefully followed by Lysa and a royal Vampire guard.
Delarosa bowed his body lightly before bringing Calidora inside the castle,
"What do I owe the pleasure for the princess visiting my humble castle?", Delarosa asks with a polite smile after they all sit in the guest room.
Calidora sits on a sofa in front of Delarosa with the help of Lysa,
Issac is also standing beside his father to honor the princess\' visit, he\'s standing with his gaze facing down submissively in front of Calidora.
But Calidora didn\'t pay it any mind,
With her taunting red eyes, Calidora\'s expression then turns to worry, "I heard aunt Ana is hurt from fighting the Alpha Werewolf, I came to visit and check her condition"
"Yes, that is true", Delarosa replied with a sigh.
He then shakes his head and continues, "Her situation is getting worst by the day, I don\'t know what that Werewolf did but her neck condition worsened. There\'s no bite mark on her neck, it\'s almost as if she\'s been poisoned"
"May I see her?", Calidora suddenly asked with a concerned look.
Upon hearing her request, Delarosa immediately stands up and replied politely, "Of course princess, your concern over my wife will definitely bless our family. Please, follow me"
Delarosa leads Calidora into the main bed chamber where Ana lies weakly on the bed.
After entering the room and seeing Ana\'s condition, Calidora glance back gently and said, "Sir Delarosa, Can you leave us for a moment?"
"Of course, excuse me princess", Delarosa said as he closed the door.
Right after Delarosa left the room, Calidora\'s expression turns instantly from a concerned look into a disgusted look in a blink of an eye.
She approaches Ana slowly who is breathing heavily from her blistering neck.
Calidora sits on the edge of the bed while inspecting Ana\'s blistering neck, even when she turns Ana\'s head left and right she didn\'t even wake up as her eyes stay closed.
"This is what you get from taking what\'s mine", Calidora mutters violently.
While she was looking at Ana with a disgusted expression, her eyes then suddenly saw blood leaking from Ana\'s neck that emits a powerful fragrance enticing Calidora.
The black patterns appear again on Calidora\'s eyes as her eyes glow red.
She stretches out her hand and touches the blood leaking out of Ana\'s blistering neck with her fingers, she then takes a whiff of the blood on her fingers before her cheek turns red.
With one swift motion, Calidora puts her finger in her mouth tasting the blood.
"Haahh...I really miss your blood", Calidora mutters excitedly.
After cleaning the blood from her finger, Calidora\'s eyes fall onto Ana\'s neck again before a grin exposing her beautiful fangs appeared on her face.
