A moment ago.

    Selvaris and her guards watched from the safety of the bubble as the main bubble collapsed.

    Soldiers were blinded by the Black Rift and torn to shreds by the Voidal Pawns.

    Some even turned into Voidal Monsters themselves, falling to the Voidal Metamorphosis.

    Even though the Dragna Sea''s bubble could not be seen from the outside—anyone could see outside from the inside—giving Selvaris and her guards a direct view of the slaughter. People screamed in agony, banging on the bubble, asking for the bubble to be opened desperately.

    It was a traumatizing sight, there were close friends or even families among them.

    Not one of their voices could pierce the bubble.

    Even then, the soldiers inside could hear their pain without even needing to hear it directly.

    "Young Mistress! Please! Open the bubble and let them in!" One of them asked in despair.

    But Selvaris could only shake her head, "I have not the power to open it—the Obelisk of Life seemed to be malfunctioning from having its life energy running out. Go back to your homes, don''t watch this if you don''t have the stomach for it. I''m sorry but I can''t do anything"

    "No way..."

    "All of them are going to die? Why is this happening?"

    "Dad...? Dad!!"

    Once she said her piece, Selvaris narrowed her eyes at Rex standing in the distance.

    He seemed to be at a loss, most likely swallowed by the Black Rift''s powers.

    Scoffing in disdain, Selvaris turned around to leave, heading back to the pavilion, ''It''s a shame that I couldn''t have the satisfaction of killing him with my own two hands but it doesn''t matter. No need for me to lower myself—and be stuck at the level of a nobody like him. Since now Brother Garvain knows the real truth, we can unite our forces and reclaim our lost lands''

    ''We will be as strong as we once were. No, stronger... I can''t wait'' She hummed cheerfully.

    Even though she didn''t know why they decided to do this to the soldiers, she trusted Garvain.

    He was the one who killed Fintura so he''s very capable.

    Meanwhile, on the battlefield.

    Rex stared directly into the Three-faced Leecher and it stared directly into him.

    Despite being in his Werewolf form, their heights were about equal.

    And oddly, there was a level of instinctual understanding between the two.

    He is a Werewolf who crossed over to the Spirit Realm as a Ghost Spirit while the Three-faced Leecher is a special creature of the void that has climbed the ranks of the void to become a Voidal Knight, one that holds a high standing around the area.

    Both of them were starkly different but also the same.

    Forged and tempered in battle.

    "Your killing intent and your scent, are the same as mine," the Three-faced Leecher said.

    Hearing it talk with an endearing, astral voice—Rex was taken aback but he quickly recovered.

    "Should I say the same to you?" He asked with a smile.

    Pausing for a second, the Three-faced Leecher tilted its head with an eerie slowness.

    Then, its head unnaturally shook a bit, until a bone-cracking sound resounded and it changed face to the left one, the wrathful one. Once that happened, an insurmountable killing intent surged from the Three-eyed Leecher.

    It was almost matching to Rex, swelling up like a vortex of crimson hue.

    Just from that alone, it was clear that this Voidal Knight wasn''t a simple entity.

    It was formidable.

    Seeing the acknowledgment behind Rex''s eyes, the Three-faced Leecher recalled its killing intent once again as its face returned to the middle one, "I am also an Alpha, and these infants," It gestured towards the swirling squid-like creatures that blotted the sky. "Are my kin. Tell me, where are your kin?"

    "Do I smell a challenge?" Rex''s eyes flashed with a deadly light. "A battle between Alphas?"

    As soon as he said that, tension bubbled.

    At first, the Seeker thought they were looking at him but no, they weren''t looking at him.

    They were looking behind him instead.

    Grr...

    A low rumbling growl of a predator seeped into his ears, stunning him completely.

    Slowly, stiffly, the Seeker glanced over his shoulder.

    His soul instantly fled his body at the sight.

    Rex stood there, towering like a specter of death—his ink-black fur blending seamlessly with the black wind. Only his eyes burned through the darkness—crimson, unblinking, and filled with a deadly gleam that of a devious hunter.

    Unnaturally, the air around him seemed to warp—heavy with a menacing aura.

    For a moment, time itself seemed to freeze.

    "Please, spare m-"

    Before he could even finish his sentence, Rex already grabbed his face and lifted him off the ground.

    He did this under the soldiers'' gazes, including those inside the Dragna Sea''s bubble.

    Crash!

    Just as he was about to finish these soldiers, a loud crash resounded.

    Rex turned to the other side and saw the Three-faced Leecher also commencing a slaughter.

    Moving extremely quickly—it reached the place where the soldiers were grouped up.

    Its three faces scanned the entire area, counting the soldiers around and as it charged past them, the four tentacles on its back stabbed each one of the soldiers. Like a meat grinder, the Three-faced Leecher was killing them with effortless effectiveness.

    Although Rex could see far without a Seeker, the Blood Moon Order skill helped him see.

    Of course, his vision was completely different than normal.

    As opposed to being able to pierce through the Black Rift, he was able to see other people in the form of their blood vessels and hearts. Rex could tell where the Three-faced Leecher was as well as see what it was doing from afar because of that.

    Under half a minute, it managed to slaughter several groups as if they were nothing.

    Not one of the groups posed a challenge.

    Even the soldiers who were at Ascendant Spirit 5 couldn''t block even one of its attacks.

    Just to show how powerful a special Immortal Spirit really was.

    As it reached the last and nearest group, it stopped and turned towards Rex in the distance.

    Rex could see its face properly but he could tell that it was smirking.

    Call it a gut feeling, but the Three-faced Leecher was definitely smirking at him right now.

    In a spectacular display, it reached out its hand to another group of soldiers nearby—and then, Rex saw several massive tentacles burst from the ground and grabbed about thirty soldiers. With a light flick, the tentacles threw the soldiers up in the air.

    Crack!

    Splash!

    Following that, another tentacle, the biggest one exploded from the ground.

    It shot towards the soldiers in mid-air with incredible speed.

    Soon, its tip branched out into dozens of smaller tentacles and impaled all of the soldiers brutally.

    Rex watched, as he saw the massive tentacle kill the soldiers mid-air and stop, becoming a sort of tree of corpses with blood still drizzling down its branches. Such a unique display of killing was both terrifying and also spectacular.

    Even though he doesn''t want to admit it, the Three-faced Leecher really put on a show.

    Clearly, this was an assertion of dominance.

    This showcase was its way of saying that it was the real Alpha.

    "Challenging me...?" Rex uttered with a devious smirk. "I guess I have to respond with an equal show"
