Chapter 1088 I'll Cherish it Forever
Clasping his abdomen, Kyran coughed a mouthful of blood and forced himself to sit up.
His entire body was overwhelmed with pulsating chaos energy.
As he fought to rise, tendrils of chaos energy streaked across his skin, disrupting his powers and causing excruciating pain. Despite this, his eyes locked onto Evelyn and Adhara—trying to protect the Supernatural Army desperately.
Not to mention, Calidora, Ryze, and Gistella were also there.
Each one of them is a precious member of the Silverstar Pack, a part of the small family.
Instantly, his eyes bulged and his weakened energy exploded once again.
Kyran would rather perish trying to help rather than watch from the side as the others died.
"Flunra!" He growled at the top of his lungs, signaling something.
Upon hearing this, Flunra—who also had just recovered—sprung up and nodded his head.
A glance is all he needs to understand what Kyran wants to do.
Channeling both of their energies to the absolute peak, Kyran jumped and positioned both of his legs toward Flunra. Simultaneously, Flunra inscribed runes onto both Kyran's and his own body before grasping Kyran's feet and propelling him toward the others' direction with all his might.
Boom!
Giving a boost to Kyran's speed, a thunderous booming sound echoed as Flunra pushed him.
Coupled with Kyran's own energy, he reached the others in mere seconds.
Bam!
Kyran wanted to help the others from the inside—but he slammed into the protective barrier, thwarting his entry. Despite the agonizing pain it caused him—he pressed both of his hands against the barrier, peering inside.
There, he could see that Adhara and Ryze slowly sunk to their knees, struggling in pain.
One look is enough to tell that they were not going to hold on for much longer.
Shifting his eyes to the center was another heart-wrenching sight.
He could see Evelyn holding onto the flag of Dargena City with both of her hands firmly.
Using the flag as support—she could be seen on her knees while extending her Luna energy to protect the entire Supernatural Army from the ruthless gust of chaos energy seeping from the cracks in the barrier.
Also, despite her body being illuminated by bright purple light, her condition was evident.
Evelyn was evolving, but she was still forcing herself to help.
It was unthinkable for her to do something like that.
Due to that reason, Kyran could see clearly that she was completely bloodied all over.
"Let me in!!" Realizing the situation inside, Kyran banged on the barrier and roared thunderously.
But even though he made sure that everybody heard him—none answered him. Kyran gritted his teeth and looked up at the barrier, only to find that it was layered with more than Evelyn's and Adhara's powers.
In order to make an entrance for him, other layers of energy need to be synchronized.
Not to mention, the pressure from Chaos Nova strained the barrier immensely.
Essentially, it was impossible to make an entrance for him.
On top of that, if Kyran forced himself inside, then he would be damaging the barrier.
Kyran could feel his blood pumping harder as he came to the realization that he couldn't help them, there was simply no way for him to help. All he could do was watch as the others were struggling to survive.
His strong heart blurred his vision with each beat.
Naturally, there was no chance that he was going to only watch as the others suffered.
Like a rabid dog, Kyran darted his eyes left and right in search of a solution.
Eventually, he looked up, and a crazy thought came to mind.
Raising his gaze to look at the point of impact, gushing with torrents of energy between the Chaos Nova and the protective barrier, Kyran decided that he would take the risk and went towards the impact directly to weaken the Chaos Nova with his power.
It was a crazy idea, but he simply couldn't bear not doing anything to help.
Especially knowing that he could make a change.
Doing so has a very high chance of him dying, even he—pouring everything he has wouldn't be able to handle the lethal friction of energies produced by the class. Such a thing requires extremely high endurance which he didn't have.
But even then, he didn't care—his mind only fixed on saving the others.
"It's better for me to die than them!" Kyran muttered, burning with determination.
Reflecting on the fleeting moments of his journey as a member of Rex's pack, a smile graced Kyran's face. Though brief, those moments made him feel more alive than ever before. Kyran had always considered his time with Rex to be an unexpected blessing.
Despite causing a lot of trouble, Rex has never once moaned or complained directly to him.
At times, it was clear that Rex was angry at him.
However, even when he made a fatal mistake—not once had Rex tried to abandon him.
Rex really did consider him as family.
But even then, Kyran knew that life with Rex was only a bonus for him.
Had it not for Rex taking him in, he would probably sprawled dead in a ditch somewhere.
Losing his sisters, nobody would take care of him.
Not to mention the small village he lived in was very poor, and death by starvation is not rare.
"Okay... I'll repay everything that you did with this"
Boom!
Pulling nothing back, he lets everything out to the point that his body is convulsing with pain.
Despite preparing to help the others, fully prepared to die—Kyran was not fearful.
At the very least, he was glad that he found a situation where he could repay back for all the kindness Rex had given to him throughout this short span of time. He would die without guilt if it meant the others surviving this ordeal.
Like a cascade of azure waterfall, his thick energy manifested, dripping down his entire form.
"Goodbye," Kyran mused lightly. "Being a part of this family, I'll cherish it forever..."
It was only then that he looked up at the clash.
Just as Kyran was about to dash and sacrifice himself, a familiar voice stopped him.
"Don't! Kyran, you can help without sacrificing yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Kyran's eyes trace lower and are surprised to find that there is a strand of purple energy that he recognized as Lunra energy connecting to his chest. Without a doubt, this string belonged to Evelyn.
"Evelyn, don't push yourself too hard! Let me end this," Kyran rebutted.
Seeing the state she was in—worst out of everyone—he wanted her to stop forcing herself.
But knowing what he wanted to do from his expression alone, Evelyn refuted, "No, there's no need for you to sacrifice yourself for us all. Just channel your energy through the link I made with you, we can stop this!"
"I don't know if you can handle it so I won't take the gamble," Kyran shook his head.
He is probably the second-strongest in the Silverstar Pack.
Furthermore, his energy was vast thanks to his mastery which made him able to condense all his moonlight energy—propelling his body's energy reserves. If he channeled everything into the link Evelyn made, he could directly augment Evelyn's power.
It would allow Kyran to help sustain the barrier directly, but that comes with a cost.
A big cost of Evelyn failing to sustain his energy.
Considering her strength, there was a chance that she might not be able to sustain it.
If that happened, something bad would happen to her.
Kyran doesn't want to risk her well-being, it's best that he took the full brunt of the spell.
Crack!
A cracking sound reverberated as another big crack appeared on the barrier.
Just the force from that happening alone was devastating.
Not even considering her method as an option, and also the fact that their time was running thin, Kyran clenched his jaw—intending to confront the Chaos Nova himself. But once again, Evelyn stopped him.
"No, Kyran...! Look at me," Her voice was louder, ringing inside the head. "Please, look at me!"
Even though he was reluctant, Kyran turned to look at her.
He doesn't want to be swayed, but Evelyn's tone makes it hard for him to ignore her request.
Almost instantly, both of their gazes met amidst the chaos.
Looking at her sparkling purple eyes—conveying gentleness and trust— with blood seeping out from the bottom, Kyran gritted his teeth before he saw Evelyn smiling at him, "I'm aware of what you're thinking, but there will be other chances for you in the future,"
"Rex still needs you...We still need you. Trust me this time," She added with a dulcet tone.
A tone that made her more convincing and hard to refuse.
Kyran could only grit his teeth stronger as he battled his undecided self.
But eventually, under the gaze Evelyn was giving, Kyran reclined and decided to trust her.
Roar!!
Boom!!
Letting out a reluctant, thunderous roar, Kyran infused every ounce of his energy into the link Evelyn created—giving her all of his moonlight energy. He kept pouring and pouring, keeping his head down without looking at Evelyn.
'Don't make me regret this, Evelyn!' He pondered and exploded with more power.
Meanwhile, everything was caught by Rex's eyes.
Despite being pinned down and also surrounded by chaos monsters that were summoned by the Executor—his keen eyes pierced through the chaos of the battlefield. He was able to see Kyran or even the others inside the barrier.
It was only then that a notification appeared as his body burned from the inside.
Akin to an insatiable fire began to burn inside of him.
<Warning! The user's berserk stat is nearing 80%!>
Upon the notification appearing, Rex's eyes flashed with a grim crimson light as he pushed himself up from the ground. The Executor who was holding him down was surprised when Rex began to overpower him.
Not giving him a chance to react, Rex yanked his head back, hitting the Executor's nose.
His headbutt momentarily dazed the Executor.
Such a method of fighting was ungraceful which caught him off guard.
Sensing a moment of liberation, Rex quickly rose to his feet, slashing the Executor across the chest with his claws—searing the armor he was wearing with the Executor Slash before Rex, in quick succession, kicked him back.
It was obvious that Rex's intention was to get away, not fight.
Boom!
Propelling himself towards the others' direction, Rex broke the sound barrier. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
His speed was lightning-fast, aiming to destroy the Chaos Nova that threatened the others.
Clicking his tongue in displeasure, the Executor also followed suit.
Hold on! I'm coming!
Rex exclaimed inside his head as pushed his body to move faster.
Knowing how powerful the Chaos Nova arcane spell was—as he felt its power himself—Rex knew that none of the others, particularly Evelyn or Gistella, stood a chance of surviving the impact. Even Adhara and Calidora, formidable as they were, too faced an uncertain fate.
Just as he was nearing the clash, his eyes widened before he took an abrupt stop.
Crash!
Stomping the ground, he halted mid-way with a stiff form.
Looking at the direction of the other with flared eyes, he looked down, seemingly undecided.
But surprisingly, he pivoted around to face the Executor instead of helping the others.
Upon seeing him stopping—the Executor also stopped and his smirk widened, "Are you now accepting that their fate has been sealed? None of them are going to stop my attack, you of all people should know that. As I said, they are only weaknesses born from yo-"
In mid-sentence, the Executor stopped seeing a smile enacted on Rex's face.
His arrogance disappeared at the sight of Rex's smile.
"I've been acting stupid up until now," Rex uttered, looking at the Executor's frowning face. "I was always riled up every time you mentioned that what I gained from my beliefs was only a bunch of weaknesses. Seems like I've been too swayed,"
Listening to this, the Executor's frown deepens, "What are you trying to say...?"
"Since you believe my pack members or the armies I brought here are nothing but burdens—my weaknesses... then let's watch together, shall we?" Rex's smile broadened, the bloodshot in his eyes gleaming with confidence. "Let us witness how all of them prove themselves to be anything but burdens,"
Kaboom!!
