Chapter 0 - The Unspoken Past
"Hurry up, we cant withstand much longer!!" ; "We need full support here!!" ; "We are losing too much troops, we need the medical army to treat the injured now!!"
Yes, it is at war - a war between human and the demon.
The King of the demon - Berlock, is a powerful and tyrannical ruler. Not even a single demon dare to go against him. Berlock has rule all the demon, but not the human.
Human being is protected by a powerful priest, they called her the Guardian of Human. Her real name is Elie. She is the only one that possesed the Holy power that can summon the seven guardians of the sky and the King of the sky. It is said that each guardian has the power equals to each of the seven generals of the demon and the King himself is equally strong as the King of demon. Of this reason, the demons are unreachable of the human and this peace has been protected for 20 years.
As any normal girl does, Elie gets married. Her soulmate - Ash, is no more than just an ordinary citizen. Even so, their love is of unquestionable. Soon, Elie is pregnant and going to give birth. This is a good news for the demons as Elie power will be at its minimum at the time she gives birth. Very soon, this news has spread to the demon King.
On the day of birth, the demon King has launch a full attack on human.
"Hurry up, we cant withstand much longer!!" ; "We need full support here!!" ; "We are losing too much troops, we need the medical army to treat the injured now!!"
Soon, the human army is overwhelmed by the demon army. The human army didn't stand a chance against the demon army. Many are dying, eaten by the demon, being tear apart, and burn to death without leaving a single trace. The seven lands, which surrounded the main land - Shangrila, is fallen. Each land is conquered by each of the seven generals.
"Please, let me do this, I must protect our kind" . Elie, soon after giving birth, is begging Ash to let her summon the seven guardian of the sky. "Please don't do this to me. You know how much I love you! I.. I cant imagine the days without you.. *sob*" . Ash is trying to prevent Elie from summoning the seven guardian because he knows that, with that body of Elie, she might lose her life upon the summoning. "Darling, listen to me k? I must do this, you know that. See, you won't be alone. Our son is going to be with you. I will seal my soul inside him after I go. Please take care of him for me. Promise me, k?" . Without saying a single word, Ash just cry as loud as he could, bearing the pain of losing his love one in front of him, slowly dying away.
At the price of Elie's life, the seven generals is defeated by the seven guardians of the sky with the very last of their power. Berlock is frustrated with this and charge himself into the battlefield. Easily, the seven guardian of the sky is defeated. The demons are now heading towards Shangrila, the place where the Elie's son is born and where Elie passes away.

Chapter 1 - The Story Begin
"Thanks for the breakfast." As usual, Rex thanks his dad for the breakfast. " Oh no, its 7.30 already! Hurry up Zen, I don't wanna be late again!" Rex yell at his older brother, Zen, who is 2 years older than him. "Oh Rex, who do you think you are talking to? Hahaha~~" Zen reply Rex in front of the house ready to depart. "Damn, why are you always so fast? Gotta go dad, see ya!" . Rex rush towards Zen. "Ok. Zen, please look after your brother for me, k? Who know what might happen to him this time. Hahaha~~" Ash says with a teasing tone. "Dad! I am 16 already, I can take care of myself just as fine!" Rex tell his old man with a little bit of unhappiness. "Oh ya? Isn't that last week you were just......" Unable to finish his sentence, Ash is interrupted by Rex, "Please dad, don't mention that anymore. It was kinda embarrassing. Hehe~~" Rex slow down his voice as he talk. "Don't worry dad, I will take care of Rex. I will make sure he comes back home in one piece. See ya dad, we have to go now." Zen tell his father with a smile on his face that hide a little bit of seriuosness. Looking at the back of Rex and Zen, Ash shouts at both of them, "Have fun in school, my dear sons!" Rex and Zen respond to Ash by waving their hands.
As soon as Rex and Zen are out of Ash sight, his cellphone rang. ESID is written on the cellphone screen. Ash answers the call with a face full of worries. "My lord, the demon has taken action. They are trying to kill Prince Rex." After listening to that, Ash answers seriously, "Its time."
On the way to the school, Rex talk to Zen, "Zen, you don't have to follow me wherever I go, you know. I have grown up, I really can take care of myself." "Are you sure about that? Isn't that last week you were just scared by a puppy at the park? Hahaha~~ " Zen starts to tease Rex as what he alwalys did. "That's because...... That because of...... Because...... " Rex was unable to spit out another word from his mouth. He just turn away from Zen with a little bit of shyness. "See, in the end, you still need me to be by your side. Rex, I know it is troublesome sometimes for me to be with you all the time, but I did this just to protect you. Well, you will understand one day. Listen, once you have proven to me you really can take care of yourself, I will leave you. And that is a promise, k?" Rex quickly pick up a tiny stone on the roadside and ran towards the park. "What are you doing, Rex?" Zen ask curiously. "Prove to you!" Rex answers while running.
A moment later, Rex reach the park and sees a dog sleeping at the park. He has completely forget the fact that he is going to be late to school. "I will prove it to you, Zen. I will prove it that I can take care of myself. All I have to to is just avoid being chase by the dog, well a mad dog~~ Argh, I am not a kid anymore. I can do it!" Rex thinks in his mind and ready the tiny stone in his hand. He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. He throw the tiny stone towards the dog with his full strength. "Did I hit it?" Rex thinks in his mind again. He opens his eyes. Shockingly, what stands infront of him is not the dog, but a creature that he had never seen before in his entire life.
To be continue...
Chapter 2 - Awaken
"Rex, get down!" Rex do as being told. 3 blue flame bullets passing through Rex from above and hit the giant red monster. "DEMON! How did you get in here?! Each gate of Shangrila is heavily guarded by the most elite squad, even a demon general are not able to pass through that easily. How the hell did you get to here without a single crash on you?!"
Ash is shock when he hears the word "demon". He has never thought of the existance of the demon before. That is not all, what shock him most is that his brother, Zen, who grow up together with him since they were kid, knows it all along and never talk to him a single word about demon.
"Zen... What do you mean by demon? What are the demon? Why did you armed with guns? Who are you? Answer me, ZEN!!!" Rex cant think rationally. He is getting nervous and don't know what to do. "Rex, calm down! Listen to me, this guy here is dangerous. He is going to kill us both. Now, I want you to run back home with all your might, I will buy some time for you. GO NOW!!!"
"Foolish human, buying some time? Hahaha!! Don't make me laugh, don't compare me with the other demon, I am 10 times stronger than the old demon general!" Says the demon proudly. "Old demon generel......? What happen to those general?" Zen ask the demon. "Hahaha! Well, if that is your dying wish, let me just tell you. The old demon general were all devour by the King to heal himself. I am one of the new seven generals, Zabex, and is 10 times stronger. And how did I get in here? Because I am the only generel that posseses the teleportation power. I just teleport myself with the dog. I bet that poor dog is probably being eaten by the other demon right now. Wahahaha!! So prepare to die now!!!" Zabex rushes towards Zen and attacks him.
"REX!! Don't just freeze at there. RUN!!!" Zen shouts at Rex while dodging Zabex's attacks. With the mind overflow with fear, Rex begin to run as what a normal human will do when face with danger. He run towards home with all his might without thinking that he is leaving Zen to fight alone.
After Rex is out of sight, Zen take off a distance from Zabex and says with little smile, "Zabex, you might be the general, but don't underestime me. I am the top elite soldier of all. With Rex out of the sight, I can fight with my full strength with no distraction. Now, take this!" Zen fires hundreds of blue falme bullets at once at a speed that cant be catch by the normal human eyes.
On the other side, Rex suddenly stop running. He has calm down a bit and finally is able to think rationally. "No, this is not right. All the time, Zen has been protecting me whenever I am in trouble.This time, Zen is in trouble and all I do is running away. No, I am not going to let him fight alone. I am going to help him. I am not going to run anymore!!!" The strong determination of Rex has lead him to the park where Zen and Zabex fight.
When Rex reaches the park, he sees Zen is lying on the ground with blood all over his body and the monster is hurt, but not so badly. "Haha, kid, is that all you've got? You are all just talking." Zabex finishes his last word and going to give Zen the fatal blow with his tail. Rex, without further hesitation, run towards Zen and stand in front of Zen with his both hands open wide. "STOP IT!!!" Rex shouts at Zabex and at the same time, Rex chest glows. It glows so bright that nobody was able to see a thing.

Chapter 3 - The Seven Guardian of the Sky
"What!! Impossible!! These are the sky guardians!" syas Zabex with his tail blocks by the shield of Gard - the Holy Knight of the sky.
"These are the seven guardians of the sky... I see, your power has finally awaken." Zen says with a weak voice. "Zen... Don't talk anymore... You are... You are badly wonded. Lets get you to the hospital...*sob*" The tears falls down from Rex swollen eyes as he speaks. "Rex, still remember the promise? Now, you have proven that... *cough*... you are capable of taking care of yourself. So,...*cough*... I am going to leave you soon...*cough*... just as promise...*cough*... Be strong, Rex. Use your...*cough*...power for...*cough*...*cough*...the sake of human.. I... I love...*cough*...*cough*...you......" Having his last word said, Zen closes his eyes. "No... This is not true... Somebody please tell me this is not true! Somebody, please!!! ZEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rex cries in madness. "It's all your fault! You are the one that killed Zen! I AM NOT GOING TO FORGIVE YOU!!!!!!" Rex stares at Zabex with all the anger in his eyes. "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!!" Rex rushes towards Zabex like a mad person.
"Master!!! Please stay right where you are!" In responds to the voice, Rex stops his steps. His anger is disappearing. "Please let us do this, Master. We are going to help you avenge your frined." says Yiury - the Wise of the sky. "Master, please step back a little, we don't wanna hurt you." says Clank - the Swordsman of the sky. "Lets go to somewhere safer, Master " Zesh - the Healer of the sky, holds Rex's hand and carries Zen on her back to somewhere far from the park.
"Dont you ever think of running away!" Zabex strike his tail towards Rex. Again, Zabex's tail is being block, but this time is blocked by Dex - The Speeder of the sky, with his two silver spears.
"Argh!!!" Zabex is shot by thousamds of flaming arrows from the back. "Don't ever turn your back on your opponent." Kazac - the Sniper of the sky, says coolly with both his crossbow pointing at Zabex.
Zabex laugh, "HAHAHAHHAHA!!! Do you really think all of you can win against me? I am 10 times stronger than the old general. None of you stand a chance against me. Hahaha!!!"
"Maybe it is true that you are stronger, but now it is 6 against 1. Besides, do you really think that we are just doing nothing for the past 16 years? If you think that we are still like how we used to be, then you are making a big mistake." Says Yiury.
Zabex is getting angry after listening to what Yiury said. He charge towards Yiury but Gard step forward to defense Yiury. Yiury quickly seal Zabex's movement by locking Zabex's hands and legs with his spell. Clank, Dex and Kazac attack from the left, right and back ewspectively at the same time. Gard switch from defense to offense and attack Zabex from the front. With the spells on his hands and legs, Zabex is unable to dodge all the attacks. And so, Zabex is badly injured by the attacks. With all his strength, Zabex breaks the spell and steps far away from the guardians.
"I will remember you all, damn guardians. The next time we meet, it means your death!" Zabex begins to teleport himself. "What?! What happen?!" Zabex says shockingly. "There will be no next time. Because today will be your death day." Max - the Magician of the sky, has move all of them to his own dimension from the time Rex leaves the battlefield. That's explained why Zabex cant teleport himself.
"DAMN YOU!!! GUARDIANS!!!!!!"

Chapter 4 - Berserk
Looking at Rex, Zesh shakes her head. Knowing there is no more hope for Zen, tears flows down from Rex's cheek to the ground.
"Rex, don't be sad... I have always know that this one day will come, the day that.. that we will be apart from each other.... Don't cry, Rex. You have given me a wonderful 16 years... Every second we spent together...*cough*... is meaningful enough... *cough*... Go... Go find your dad... He will tells you everything...*cough*..." Zen is getting weaker and weaker. With the very last bit of his breath, he smiles and says, "Thank you, my brother......" Zen passes away with the happiest smile ever on his face.
A moment later, the six guardians arrive at where Rex is after killing Zabex. "Zabex is dead. And how is the boy?" Asked Yiury. Again, Zesh shakes her head. There is a silence for a while. "Master, we have to leave now, we cant stay at the human world for too long. Go find your dad, Ash. It is time for him to tell you the truth." Yiury breaks the silent. "Until we meet again." Yiury and the other guardians start to glow and then disappear.
Rex stands up, carrying Zen's dead body on his back, walking back home with all sort of emotion running trough his head. But one thing for sure, he knows that everything will be clear once he sees his dad.
When Rex reaches his house, another unacceptable thing happens. His house is completely burned and there are many armored dead body all over the ground. What he sees in front of his very own eyes are two demons of the size of normal human being, one blue and one white, with the blood stain all over their body. The white demos is pinching Ash with his claw and asking Ash, "Where is the boy?"
Ash is shocked when he sees Rex is standing nearby. "REX!!! RUN!!!!!!" He shouts at Rex. The two demons see Rex. The white demon pierce through Ash stomach with his claw and then charge towards Rex.
"No... No... No... No... No... No... This cant be happening... This is not true... This morning, we were just having our breakast... And... And dad was teasing me like he alwasy used to... *sob* ... Why? Why is this happening?! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ash has gone beserk.
To be continue...
Chapter 5 - The Hidden Power of Rex
"ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rex cant control his emotion anymore. He is berserking. Soon, his skin turns black and all over his body is covered with black flame. The evil aura is flowing through his body. A tail and a pair of black wings is coming out from his back. His nails are getting longer and become very sharp at the edge. He looks exactly just like a demon.
As the white demon charges towards Rex, just before he can reach Rex, the next thing he knows is his headless body is standing in front of the demoinic Rex and his head is already on the ground. An instant death is granted on the white demon.
"What has happened?! I didn't saw he moves at all. Is he moves too fast even for the demon general?! No way, it cant be!!! What the hell is he?!!!! Is he some kind of......" Unable to finish his sentence, the same fate as the white demon falls upon the blue demon. "Mon...ster......" The blue demon finishes his sentence with his head off his body.
Having the two demon generals killed, Rex, in the demon form, stands still and looks around, searching for the next victim to be killed. He then saw a girl, about 5 years old, with her tricycle, crying at nearby. Demon Rex turns himself to the girls position. He slowly lifts his tail. Up until a certain height, he strikes his tail rapidly at the girl.
"Stop, REX!!!" Just before his tail is about to hit the girl, a voice is heard in his head. "Rex, stop it. Don't kill the girl, she is innocent. Be calm. Don't become like a demon, you are not a demon. Because, you are my son." Yes, that is Elie's voice. It is her soul that is sealed inside Rex's body that speaks. Elie then speaks again, gently, "Rex, don't let the demonic power control you. You are not the vessel for the demon. Become the master of the demonic power, use it as it is your own. Use your will to control it. I know you can do it, Rex."
The black flame that surrounds demon Rex begins to disappear. The wings and the tails vanish in the thin air. The nails beome shorter and the skin turns back to its original colour. Rex is back to normal again. All of the sudden, he feels that his whole body is powerless and he kneels to the ground.
"Don't move." A guy in the elite soldier uniform points the gun at Rex's forehead.
To be continue...
Chapter 6 -The truth of the Untold Past
"Shen......" Rex stares at the elite soldier, Shen, who is pointing the gun at his forehead.
"Stand up!" Shen commands Rex. Rex is satnding up with his weak body in an unstable way, in a way that he might falls at any second. Shen's gun is pointing at Rex's forehead all the time as Rex is standing up. Finally, with lots of effort, Rex is able to stands up straight.
"Turn around!" Shen commands Rex again, but this time, Rex didn't do as being commanded. Rex stands up straight looking at Shen with the face full of sadness. "I said turn around! Otherwise you will have these bullets get through your head!" Shen commands Rex once more but with a more aggressive tone this time. Instead of turning around, Rex walks towards Shen and stop at a point where Shen's gun gets into contact with Rex's forehead. "If that is what you want, then just pull the trigger..." Rex says in a way as if it is meaningless for him to live in this world anymore. "Just do it! I... I cant take it anymore... First is Zen, then dad... Whose next?!!! I don't want to see this anymore... Somebody please stop this silly joke! It is not funny at all... I... I don't want... Don't want to see people dying anymore... At least not you... Because... Bcause you are my best friend in this whole world... I... I really cant bear the pain of losing you... Please... Please just let me die... Let me out of this misery... I am begging you..." Rex cries in the saddest way ever.
Bang!!! Shen pulls the trigger. However, the bullet didn't hits Rex, it hits the ground next to Rex. Rex is shocked at an instant. He thought that he is dead for sure when he heard the gun sounds but the fact is he is not.
"Death won't solve anything. Rex, you are not alone. We will share your pain with you. We will fight along your side." Shen speaks to Rex in a gentle voice. He then hugs Rex and says, "It is good to know that you still retain your humanity. At a moment, I thought that I am going to lost my best friend forever. I am so glad."
With the sudden change of Shen's character, Rex knows that he still have people that he can count on. He knows that he can count on Shen as Shen has never disappointed him before. He knows that what Shen's said is true as Shen's is a person that mark his word. Now, he feels a little bit relief in his heart. He knows that thare is still hope and everything will be turn out fine in the end. He decides to put his trust on this hope and won't give up his life easily anymore.
"Lets go, Rex. It is not safe at here." Shen tells Rex to go to somewhere safer. "But... But how about dad and Zen?" Rex bites his mouth until bleed when he mentions Ash and Zen. He is still unacceptable of the sudden death of Ash and Zen. Shen puts his hand on Rex's right shoulder and says, "They are both the greatest people ever. They sacrifice their live to keep you alive. And now, you are carrying their live within you. Live yourself. Do not let them die in vain." Shen encourages Rex to live strong. "The speacial squad will arrives soon, they will take care of your dad and Zen. I know it is still hard for you to accept it, but we have to leave now. I have to get you to somewhere safe, beacuse the demons are trying to kill you. I will explain everything to you once we are safe. So, lets go."
Without saying a word, Rex just nodes his head and follows Shen to somewhere safer. Along the way, Shen is cautiously looks around to prevent any ambush and to make sure that no demons are following them. 20 minutes later, they arrive at the school, the school where Rex and Zen study at. Shen leads Rex to the principal room. He then pull out a book on the book rack and the book rack begin to split apart. A door made of steel is hidden at the back of the book rack. Shen lets his eye and his thumb being scan by the scaning machine on the door.
"ID CONFIRMED" The door is then opened. It is a lift. Shen and Rex go in the lift and then the door is closed.
"Rex, we are heading to the headquater. Now, I will explain to you everything and who you really are. 16 years ago, there is a war.................." Shen is telling Rex the truth of the past. Shen continues to speak, "............ When Berlock reaches Shangrila, he looked for you everywhere because he fears that you might inherited the Holy power from your mother. In fact, you are. As Berlock found you, without a second delayed, he quickly launched an attack on you. However, your dad blocked the first attack for you and he is severely wounded. With the first attack failed, Berlock stroke at you again. Just before he can reach you, your Holy power was awaken. Your dad believed that it was your mother that awake your Holy power as she sealed her soul within you just before she passed away. Then, the seven guardians were summoned by you. However, with the seven guardians power, it was still not enough to defeat Berlock. Therefore, the guardians decide to summon the King of the sky, but they needed a vessel. Previously, it was your mother that became the vessel, but at that time, she had passed away. Your dad then volunteer himself to become the vessel despite how badly wounded he is. The guardians agreed to your dad as there was no other choice. And so, the king was summoned and possessed your dad's body. The King and Berlock fought for several hours but they were evenly matched. Finally, with the help from the seven guardians, they managed to wound Berlock. Berlock knew that he will lost if he continued to fight. Therefore, he chose to retreat, but just before he retreated, he somehow managed to scratch you with his jaw and his blood was flowing into your body and that explains why you gone berserk just now." Shen pauses for a while, looking at Rex and then continues to speak again, "In the end, we won the war and your dad became the lord of human. However, he decided to let you live a normal human life just like any other teenagers does and commanded all of us to keep the past as a secret from you. He did this so that you will not be haunted by the tragic past and to make sure that you can live as happy as possible. What a loving father he is."
As Rex listens to the last part about his dad, his tears flows down, but he is not crying. He knows that he has to be strong because there maybe a war very soon.
The lift stops. "Here we are, my prince. The headquater of Shangrila, where all the elite soldier are trained and all the weapon to fight against the demons are developing at here." Shen's speaks as the lift opens.
To be continue...
Chapter 7 - Training
Rex and Shen walk out from the lift. On his left, he sees there are solidier wearing the black armor and train with each other. On his right, "Those are my classmate!" Rex says surprisingly. "Yes, they are. We divided out soldier into two main group, which are Elite Soldier In the Dark and Elite Soldier In the Light. In short, we called them ESID and ESIL. ESID is mainly for the sneak attack, gathering information and protecting you in the dark. While, ESIL are the people around you that protect you in a close range. In fact, the whole school's students are ESIL." Rex is surprised. He didn't says a word. Just silently listen to what Shen says. "Shen, the prisident, the second person after the lord, would like to meet you. Follow me." Rex follows Shen and they head towards the center of the headquater. At the center, there is a building made of thick steel and is armed with many sensor weapons.
Shen scans his fingerprint and his eyes with the scanner on the wall next to the door. The heavy door is then opened. Inside the building, the design is the same as the principal room with the chair's back facing Rex and Shen.
"Sir, I have brought you the prince." Shen put his right hand on his chest as he speaks. The chair slowly turn aound and Rex sees the president face. Again, Rex exclaims surprisingly, "Mr, Albert?!" That's right, Mr. Albert - the principal of Rex's school.
"Ah, Rex. This is not the first time we meet, am I right? Last time you were called to my office because of that...... Well you know, that incident...hahaha..." Albert, a funny old man, teases Rex just like his old man used to. Rex's face turns red immediately. "You are just like my......" Rex pauses his sentence and then continues to speak, "old man......" The environmant suddenly turns into a silent. "Rex, I am sorry for your lost. But now is not the time to be sad. Soon, there will be a war, just like 16 years ago, or maybe worser. We need your power. Will you help us?" Albert says in a serious manner. "Yes, I will definitey do it, I am going to take revenge for my dad and Zen!" Rex says with a bit of anger. "It is good to hear that" Albert stands up as he speaks. He then bow down and speaks, "Now, you will be our new lord, we will follow your order." "Please, raise up your body. I just wish that we can be like a family, is that ok?" Rex says. "Hahahaha... You are a funny one. Well, as you wish, my lord." "Rex is enough." Rex says instantly after Albert finish his sentence. "Hahahahaha... Yes, Rex. Look at you, you are all dirty, why don't you take a shower first? Then we will continue with your training." Albert says with a big smile on his face." "Training?" Rex ask. "Yes, your power is still immature, we have to train you until you can gain a full vontrol on your power and we have to make sure you can suppress the demon power within you so that you wont't gone berserk again. Well, Shen will be your training partner. He is one of the two best elite soldier, and the other one is......" The silent breakthrough the conversation again. "Well, anyway, with Shen be your partner, your training should be done in no time. Shen, please bring Rex for the shower first." Albert speaks after he pauses for a while. "Yes, sir!" Shen puts his right hand on his chest as he speaks. Looking at Rex, Shen says, "My prince..." "Rex!" Rex interrupt Shen as he speaks. With a smile on Shen's face, he speaks again, "Rex, please come with me."
They both leave the building and go to the restroom. Minutes later, after Rex finishes bath, Shen leads Rex to the trainig ground. It is a big empty room of the size of the football field. Rex finds himself really hard to believe that there is such a big space under the school.
Shen takes out an armor and give it to Rex. "Wear this if you don't want to get hurt." Rex do as being told. "Now, hits me with all you got." Shen tells Rex in an enjoying tone.
To be continue...
Chapter 8 - The War Begins
Few days pass.
"Lets call it a day, you are all torn up." Shen looks at Rex and the guardians as he speaks. Now, Rex is able to summon the seven guardians anytime he wants. "No, I will continue." Rex says with stong determination. "Master, please listen to Shen, your body cant take it anymore. Resting is part of the training as well." Says Resh.
Rex listens to Resh and goes back to his room to take some rest. Shen follows Rex to his room as it is his duty to make sure Rex is safe at anytime.
"Shen, why aren't the demons after me anymore?" Rex ask Shen. "Rex, don't worry. This place is sealed with an energy barrier that can prevent the demons from sensing you. You ar absolutly safe as long as you stay in here." Answers Shen. Rex has no question about the energy barrier as there is not a single demon he saw in this few days.
Suddenly, something comes into Rex mind. "Then what about Shangrila?" Rex speaks urgently. Shen just throw away his eyesight from Rex without saying a word. "Shangrila is being attacked by the demon isn't it? Why aren't you telling me?! Why don't you tell me the truth?!" Rex says angrily. "Rex, I hope you know what's the most important thing right now. You have to master your power as soon as possible. If I tell you we are at war now, it probably will affect your training." Shen answers seriously. "Many people are dying out there because of me. I don't want anymore people die because of me!!! I am going out now!!!" Rex says with more anger. Shen slaps Rex on his face and Rex falls down to his bed. "Calm down! If you go out now, it means the end of the world. A little sacrifices are needed for the peace of the world! If you don't want more people to die, then you have to stay focus on your training and master your Holy power as soon as possible. You are the only one that can save them all." Shen exclaims.
After listening to those words, Rex stands up and begins to walk out from his room silently. "Where are you going?" Shen ask. "To the training ground." Rex answers. Shen smile a little as he knows that Rex understands what he says and being rational.
As Rex walks out from his room, the alarm sounds. "Attention!! Attention!! All soldier please proceed to the main gate. The headquarter's first line defense was breakthrough by the demons." The leader of the army shouts at all the soldier.
"Impossible, how did they find us?! Even the demon generals are unable to." Shen says in shock.
"Young man, your sentence is not fully correct, you have missed an "old" words before the demon generals. Hahahahaha!!! We are the new demon generals, way more stronger than the old one!" Says an orange demon, Lukas, with his claw on Rex's neck and at his back stand the other three demon generals. Nobody realise that they are here until Lukas speaks.
To be continue...
Chapter 9 - Shift
Rex is calmed even Lukas is pointing his claw on Rex's neck. Rex stares at Lukas with confidence. He then holds Lukas's claw tigthly with his right hand. Lukas is shocked. He try to strike his claw at Rex but sadly he is unable to do so. Lukas is unable to move his claw even a bit.
"Surprise?" Rex says. "There will be more surprises for you." Rex continues to speaks. The truth is, Lukas is not the only one that is surprised, the other three demon generals and Shen are surprised by Rex's action as well. They all are surprised that Rex's has the strength to stop the strike from a demon general.
"Guardian of the SKY, I SUMMON YOU!!!" Rex summons the seven guardians of the sky. Immediately, Rex's chest glows and then the seven guardians come out from the light. "Guardians of the sky, I want all of you to assist the soldier, I will take care of these so call demon general." Rex stares at all the demon general when he mention the word "demon general".
"Rex, I don't know where you get that ridiculous power. But against four of them, you have no chance of winning!" Shen speaks and he is still in shock.
"Shen, don't underestimate me." Rex tells Shen. When he finishes his sentence, the black aura comes out form his body. His skin begins to turn black and his nails are getting longer and shaper. Wings and tail begins to grow out. Rex has completely turn into a demon just like when he went berserk.
The demon generals and Shen are all shocked once again. Shen points his gun towards Rex. "Relax, Shen. I am still Rex. I am able to completely control the demon power within me. I have to thank Berlock for his blood, that was the best birthday's gift I ever received...hahaha..." Rex says arrogantly.
"But, how? When? I was with you all the time. It is impossible that I don't know." Shen says. "Well, to be exact, not all the time. You are not there when I train in my dream. My mum's soul sealed half of the demon power and let the other half control by me. Every night in my dream, she trained me. It was a training of will power. Trust me, you wont' want to know what I have been trhough. Even though it is only half of the demon power, but it is more than enough to take care of these "rubbish" here." Rex tear away Lukas's claw from his body as Rex finishes his last word. Lukas shouts in pain.
"Now, go do what you have to do, Shen. Just leave these "rubbish" here to me. Resh, go heal the wounded and the other guardian please assist the soldier to fight against the demons." Rex says. "Rex, you have really grown up. Just promise me one thing. Don't die." Shen tells Rex. Rex just smile and din says a word. Shen then breakthrough the demons general with the protection from the guardians. Now, the room only left the four demon generals and demon Rex.
"Lets go to somewhere wider, shall we? It will be a pain to fight in here." Rex flies towards the training ground as he don't want to involve other in their fight. Being humiliated by Rex, the demon generals chase after Rex.
Seconds later, Rex reaches the training ground of the size of a football field with no others around. When the demons generals reach, the three demon generals - Shpinx of the wind demon, Granta of the earth demon and Flare of the flame demon, charge at Rex all at once. Lukas stay still on the ground, accumulating his energy from his whole body waiting the chance for a finishing blow.
To be continue...
Chapter 10 - The Battle
Shpinx, Flare and Granta with their hands surround by ttheir own element, strike at Rex at different direction, from the left, right and at the front. The only way for Rex to avoid their attack is to move backward. Soon after he tries to move backward, he realises that he is immobilese. His leg is being held tight by the ground as Granta has locked Rex movement with the earth beneath him without being realised by Rex.
Out of all the escape option, Rex blocks Shpinx and Flare attacks with his wings on both side. He then bloks Granta attacks with his two bare hands by forming a cross in front of his chest. Receiving the direct blow from three demon generals, Rex is experiencing some degree of damage. Rex coughes a little and blood comes out from his mouth.
There is a pause for a while. Rex can sense that the three demon general has lower their guard on him as they manage to damage him. Without wasting a second, Rex catches the Shpinx off guard by striking his tail through his wings and directly pierce through Shpinx's chest.
Shpnix falls on the ground with a hole on his chest and says, "I... I am too careless!!" With that condition, Shpinx is hardly able to fight anymore. Seeing this, Flare quickly takes some distance from Rex. As Granta trying to step away from Rex, without able to do so, his body is being pierce through by a claw.
It is not Rex's claw, it is Lukas'. Lukas didn't just stop there. He continues to charge through Granta body until his claw with an enormous amount of enery hits Rex. Rex takes on the deadly blow as he was immobilise.
However, just before Lukas is able to hit Rex, Rex manage to cover himself with both his wings at the front and his hands of the cross shape behind his wings. It was a double protection. Still, despite how well defense he is, Rex is taking heavy damage. His wings are all destroy and his hands suffer a lot of damage.
"How do you like that? That is for what you have done to my claw jus now...hahahaha!!!" Lukas speaks in enjoyment.
Flare looks at Lukas in shock and says, "You bastard!! How dare you killed your own comrade. I am not going to forgive you!!" Flare speaks in anger. He let himself being control by the anger. Without realising what he does, he charges at Lukas fiercely.
"I see, so you have chosen death as well, huh?" Lukas says and then he pulls out his claw from Granta's dead body and strike through Flare's body when Flare is charging close enough to him. "Fools, do you really think you can win against me, the leader of the demon generals? I am way more stronger than anyone of you...hahahaha!!!" Even though Lukas only left with one hand, but he still manage to kill Flare, the demon general easily.
Lukas then looks at Shpinx. Without saying a word, he spit out red flame from his mouth and burns Shpinx to death. "A bunch of worthless rubbish...hahahaha!!!" Lukas is enjoying the killing madness.
"This guy is crazy, and he is strong. With the condition I am right now, it is hard for me to win against him. But I bet he has not much energy left after giving me that deadly blow. He must have been use up lots of energy." Rex thinks in his mind.
"Hahahahhaha!!! At least you all are useful when you are dead!! Hahahha!!!" Lukas drains energy from Shpinx, Flare and Granta's dead body. Soon, all the three dead body turn into dust when Lukas finishes absorb the energy from them. Lukas's energy begins to recover and his claw starts to regenerates. In a second, Lukas has becomes as new as ever.
"This is really bad." Rex thinks in his mind.
To be continue...
Chapter 11 - At the Edge of Unreturned
"Mum, I need more power, at this rate, I am going to lose." Rex speaks with Elie in his heart. "No, if I unseal anymore of your darkness power, you are going to lose yourself, I don't want you gone berserk again... I don't wanna lose you, Rex." Elie replies. "Mum, trust me, I am not going to give in myself to the darkness power that easily, I am going to suppress it. Trust me, mum." Rex tries to convince Elie. "But..." Elis is hesitating. "Mum, 70% is enough, I will be able to control it. Please don't hesitate anymore. If not I am going to be killed by Lukas." Rex tries to convince Elie with his life being threaten. Elie knows that there is no more way for Rex to win this battle unless she unseal his darkness power. She has to come out with a decision either to save his son or the mankind because she knows that once Rex gone berserk, all the soldier at the headquarter will not be able to survive. Then, she makes the decision. She choose Rex. "Rex, do keep your promise." Elie tells Rex.
Elie unseal Rex's darkness power up to 70% as requested by Rex. The darkness energy that flows around Rex's body become more saturated. The wings that was destroyed by Lukas begins to regenerate. Another two tails grow out from his back. Two horns begin to grow out from Rex forehead and his body is getting larger and more tough. Now, no one can tell that he is Rex anymore.
"Rex?" Elie tries to make sure that Rex is able to cpntrol the power. "Mum, don't worry, I am still able to control it. Your son aint that weak. Now, lets finish this up real fast." Elie feels relief when she hears Rex's sound. However, Rex knows that he has to kill Lukas as fast as possible because he knows that he cant control the power for too long. He may lose himself at anytime.
"So, that is your full power huh? Hope you won't disappoint me..hahahaha.." Lukas speaks to Rex.
Rex takes the first attacks by flying towards Lukas and striking Lukas with his tails rapidly. Sadly, all the attacks are dodge by Lukas. Knowing these attacks cant harm Lukas, Rex steps a few steps away from Lukas. He then generates thounsands of black arrow with his dark aura and then the spears all strike at Lukas at once in all direction at a speed that is too fast even for Lukas.
This time, Lukas is unable to dodge the attacks. Lukas has no choice but to defense himself with both his bare hands. Without delaying a second, Rex charges towards Lukas with two dark swords in his hands. He then strike at Lukas rapidly and continuously with the swords. Losing his balance and unprepare, Lukas takes all the attacks from Rex. Up until a certain amount of attacks, Rex stops the attack and move instantly to Lukas back. He then accumulates all his energy in both his hands and then unleash all the eanergy in the form of beam from Lukas back. Lukas takes the hit directly and get blow away at high speed and then he hits the wall of the training ground. The wall is all destroyed and Lukas is burried under the pieces of the wall.
"*pant*...*pant*...*pant*... Did I kill him?" Rex says while he is panting rapidly. Rex goes to the place where Lukas falls down to make sure that Lukas is dead. As he reaches there, Lukas's claw suddenly comes out from the wall pieces and pinches Rex's neck. He then gets up with his body that suffers severe damages and holds Rex up in the mid air. Rex is unable to do anything in his situation right now.
"Not bad, kid. You are the second one, after the king, that is able to hurt me until this crtical condition. But, too bad, I win...hahaha..." Lukas begins to put more pressure on his claw as he wants to tear off Rex's head from his body.
To be continue...
Chapter 12 - Hundred Percent
The seven guardians go to the training ground where Rex and the demon generals fight as soon as they defeated the demon army. As they reaches the battlefield, they see Lukas' dead body on the ground and Rex in the hunam form, standing upright emotionless. Zesh walks towards Rex, putting her hand on Rex's shoulder and ask, "Master, are you alright?" The next thing they know is Zesh's hand is cut off from her body and fall on the ground. Seeing things are not getting right, Dex uses his instant teleportation to bring Zesh to where all the guardians are. Max begins chanting and in a while, he has bring all of them and Rex into another dimension. All of the guardians stay alert against Rex. "Guardians of the sky, can you hear me?" Elie's sound is heard by all the guardians in their mind. "Elie...?" Yiury reply. "Guardian of the sky, please forgive me... It is all my fault that Rex turns into this monster. I unseal 80% of his demon power at the very moment Rex was going to pinch to death by Lukas. I knew he is going to go berserk if I unseal his power, but I have no choice, I cant let my son die in front of me..." Elie says sadly. "Elie, you did the right thing. All the mother in the world will do anything to keep their child safe. Just leave the rest to us, it is our duty as a guardian to save Rex." Yiury tells Elie. "Thank you..." Elie replies sincerely in a crying tone. "Max, I will seal Rex's darkness power with my sealing technique, but I need time and no interruption. So, please let me and Zesh out of this dimension." Yiury tells Max. "I can still fight..." Zesh says. "No, you are not. You are badly wounded. In this condition, you will just be a burden to others. Besides, I need you out there for me. When I am done with my chanting, you have to let Max know as I am unable to speak at that moment." Yiury tells Zesh. Then he looks at Max and says, "Max, when you get the signal, bring all of you back to where I am and I am gonna seal Rex's power instantly." "I understand." Max says. "We will try to hold Rex as long as possible." Gard says.
"Heal yourself out there, when we are done with this, we gonna need you healing ability." Kazac says. "This aint gonna be easy, he is our master after all." Clank syas. "Everyone, please just don't die. If you die, there is nothing else I can do. Please come back in one piece..." Zesh says looking at all the other guardians. The other guardians just smile and didn't say anything. Max transfers Yiury and Zesh back to the training ground. At the training ground, Zesh begins to heal herself and Yiury begins to chant for his sealing technique. 15 minutes passes since then. Now, Yiury's sealing technique is ready. Zesh give Max the signal. Then, a second later, Max and the other guardians as well as Rex appears at the training ground. The guardians are all wounded badly. "Viva Krana Tesch Verbuli Dras!!!" A magic circle appears beneath Rex when Yiury finishes his last chanting. Iron chains come out from the ground and lock Rex. Rex is unable to move now. "In the name of the lord of the sky, may your soul be back to yourself, may the darkness......" Yiury continues the chanting. Rex is struggling to free himself from the iron chains. "Evil, be g......" As Yiury is about to finish the chanting, Rex with all his power, breaks apart the iron chains. "What, it cant be!" Yiury says in shock. In fact, all the guardian are shock too. "This is bad, I cant trasfer us to the other dimension anymore. The technique can only be used once a day." Max says. "We will try to buy you some time, Yiury. Try to seal Rex once more with your sealing technique." Clank says. Then, all the guardians charge towards Rex except for Gard. He is staying with Yiury and Zesh to protect them as Yiury cant be interrupted and Zesh is wounded. Very fast, the badly wounded four guardians is defeated by Rex. They didn't stand a chance against Rex. Rex look at Max and then charge towards Max. This time, he is really trying to kill Max. "REX!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Shen arrives at the training ground and shouts at Rex. Rex stop his attack when he is just about to pierce through Max. "Shen?! What are you doing at here?! This is not a playground for you! Please run!!!" Zesh is surprised that Shen is there and ask Shen to run away from the training ground. It is too late. Rex looks at Shen. A tail grows out from Rex's back and strike at Shen. It pierces through Shen right arm and Shen is hit to the wall with Rex's tail stab on his right arm. Then another tail grows out from Rex's back and Rex is aiming his tail at Shen's forehead.
"Rex, do you still remember your promise? You said that you don't want people around you die because of you anymore... And I am too. I don't want to lose you, you are my best friend in the world... REX!!! I know you can hear me... Please, come back... " Shen speaks loudly and sadly with his tears flowing down form his cheek. Regardless of what he said, Rex is still striking his tail at Shen. The other guardians try to stop Rex but it is too late, they cant reach Rex in time. Just when Rex's tail is about to strike through Shen's forehead, it stops. Tears flows down from Rex's cheek. "I... I am... keeping... my promise...Shen... Thank you..." Rex speaks in pain. He is gaining his conciousness after listening to what Shen has said. His inner self is fighthing against the darkness power. "ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rex's head is so painful. Everyone is loking at him. "Argh!!!! Damn demon, I will suppress you!!!!! Argh!!!!!" Rex is trying to suppress the full unleash of his darkness power. "Master, I will help you." Says Yiury. "NO!!! Let me do it myself!!! I am not gonna lose to this thing!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rex struggles painfully. In the end, he is able to control the 100% darkness power. The two tails that grows out earlier is disappearing. Now he is just as good as the normal Rex. The only thing is that he is surrounded by the black aura. However, his mind is as clear as ever. This is the 100% darkness form of Rex. At the far side of the training ground. A tiny demon is watching the whole progress with no one notices. The battle has end and now the tiny demon goes back to report to Berlock.
To be continue...
Chapter 13 - Rex's Determination
"Hahahahaha!!! I have waited this moment for 16 years. Now, with the full power awaken, Rex cant summon the King of the Sky anymore. Victory is mine!!! Hahahaha!!!" Berlock luaghes and says evilly after hearing the report from the tiny demon. Berlock stands up and says to the thousands of demon in front of him, "We are going to attack Shangrila right now!!!" The demons all shout in excite after listening to what Berlock has said.
At the headquarter.
"We are losing a small number of our troops thanks to the seven guardians' help. If not, I am afraid we are going to be completely annihilated. And thanks to the demon general, our Rex here is able to fully control his darkness power." Shen, with his wounded hand, reported the condition of the battle to everyone in the meeting room where the seven guardians and the higher up are.
"I thank you for your compliment in the former part, but the later part might not be good news for us." Yiury speaks to everyone, then he continues, "To summon the King of the Sky, we need a vessel, a live body that is pure enough. Now that Rex devil power has 100% awaken, there is no way Rex's body can be a vessel for the King."
"But we can still find someone to become the vessel, like what Ash did 16 years ago." Albert says. "I am afraid that won't work. Only someome that is blood related to Rex can be the vessel of the King, but the only one that is blood related to Rex, his dad, has passed away." Yiury replies. Rex is still sad when he hears Yiury mentions about his dad, but he knows that now it is not the time for that, he has to be strong, for the human sake.
"I see, then we have to come out with some stratergy. The demon might attack us anytime now. But before that, lets have a little rest first, you are all torn up in the battle. I bet you don't want to get yourself kill in the next attack, don't you? Hahaha.." Albert says calmly even in this critical condition. He still can joke and smile like always.
"I think we have no time to rest, the demon has begin the attack." Says Max, the magician, as he senses there is a mossive amount of demon aura that passes through the barrier that he has set in Shangrila. "Lets go, Rex. Lets show them what we got." Says Clank, the swordsman.
"But, I cant summon the King anymore, and now, we all in this condition, I am afraid we are going to......" Rex didn't finishes his sentence. He just slow down his voice as he speaks. A hand put on Rex's shoulder softly. It is Zesh, the healer's, hand, that has finished regenerated. "Don't worry master, you still have us, we will protect you and this city even if it means death to us. We will always back you up. Furthermore, you have finally able to fully control the devil power within you. That power almost kill us all, you know...Hahaha..." Zesh speaks to Rex and tells joke at the end of his sentence to make Rex feels not so stressful.
However, Rex didn't feels like that is a joke for him. He still feels bad for cutting off Zesh's hand. He made up his mind and tells the guardians, "Seven guardians of the Sky, will you all do as I says?" "Yes!" All the guardians says at once. "As your master, I now command you all to fight against the demon along the army side, you all are going to assist the army as best as you all can." Rex's says in a very determine tone. "But......" Zesh says. "Are you going to disobey my order?" Rex interrupts Zesh.
Shen looks at Rex's eyes.It is an eye that he had never saw in Rex. He knows that Rex is determined. Shen speaks to the guardians, "Let us just trust Rex, k? I know that he can do it." "Even if you say so......" Zesh says. "Shen is right, in this condition right now, our army is powerless against the demons. We need the help from you all. Please, lend us your power." Again, Zesh is interrupted, by Albert.
Zesh knows that it is the best decision they can have now. Though unwillingly, Zesh says, "Master, we will be waiting for you. Please come back." "I will. This is my promise to you all and I am ganna keep it!" Rex says.
Rex's closes his eyes. Calm himself down. He is sensing the location of Berlock. "There you are." Rex says when he senses the location. A pair of black wings then grow out from Rex's back and then he flies to the location of Berlock as fast as he can. The seven guardians see Rex flying away and they saw the shadow of Elie coming out from Rex. They know that Rex has inherited Elie's determination and they know that he is going to make it. Their worries now begin to fade away.
"There is a secret underground room under this headquarter. It can accommodate all the citizen. Right now, we have to make sure all the citizen is safely evacuated to the underground room." Albert tells the seven guardians and Shen.
"Zesh, you have just recovered, so you are going to help with the evacuation." Yiury speaks to Zesh. "I understand..." Zesh replies. "Shen, you help Zesh too, leave the fighting to us." Yiury then speaks to Shen. "I think that will be the best for now. Ok then, I will assist Zesh." Shen replies. "Now, lets move." Albert says and then all of them spread out to carry out their respective mission.
While flying towards Berlock, Rex thinks, "I cant let the guardian to come along with me, I know that it will be dangerous for them as 16 years ago they were defeated easily by Berlock. This time I cant let them take the risk. I am not going to lose anyone anymore. I will face Berlock alone. I will take him down alone. This is the sole reason of my existance. And now, the destine day has come, either he dies, or me."
To be continue...
Chapter 14 - The Final Showdown
Minutes later, Rex arrives at where Berlock is, a canyon far away from Shangrila. Rex land himself on a highland and observes the situation from there. This is the second time Rex has met Berlock, but he cant recall anything when he first saw Berlock as he was still a baby back then. Berlock is a huge demon with his body cover with heavy red and black hard shell, 3 times larger than Rex. Rex can feels that Berlock is different from the other demons. He can senses that the aura emitted by Berlock is totally different from Lukas, it is way more powerful than that. In a second, Rex doubt that he can win against Berlock, but he knows that if he didn't, no one else does. In front of Berlock, there is an army of demons, thousands of them. To get to Berlock, Rex must get through the army first. Rex takes a deep breath and ready to go down to where the demon army are. Before he is able to do so, an energy blast strikes at Rex. However, Rex is able to dodge the attacks even though he is unprepared of the ambush. In a split second, he feels that there is an evil aura at his back. He turns his head to look at it and he sees a fist of the size of his whole body striking at him. He is unable to dodge this time. He takes the hit and he is blew towards the demon army and hit on the ground hard where the demon army is. The demon army around Rex is dead due to the explosioncauses by the impact between Rex and the ground. The demon army all stop their pace and guard themself. They are wondering what has happened. As the dust from the explosion slowly gone, they saw Rex lying on the ground with an injured right arm. The demon army sees Rex as an enermy and begins to attack him. "Don't ever anyone of you dare to touch him!!! He is my opponent, I will crush him myself!!! You all proceed to attack Shangrila!!!" Berlock says at the highland where Rex was just now with a loud voice that the whole army can hear. The demon army all stop their attacks and continues their way to Shangrila. When the army has gone away from Rex, Rex stands up with his right hand bleeding. "This is bad, I was so careless to let his take the first attack. Despite of his size, he is fast, and powerful too. With my arm injured, the probability for me to win this war is almost zero." Rex thinks. "Impressive, after taking that full strength blow from me, you are still able to stand up, you should thank me for my blood inside your body. Hahahahaha!!! " Berlock says arrogantly. "Yea, I really should thank you for that because this power is gonna bring death to you!!!" Rex says and then he charges towards Berlock. He is attacking Berlock with his hand and his legs as well. "Bring death to me? Ridiculous!!! In this world, the only one who has the slightest chance of defeating me is the King of the Sky himself. Now that you cant summon him anymore, there is no way in the hell you can beat me!! Hahahahaha!!!" Berlock says while he enjoys avoiding the attacks from Rex. Every single attacks from Rex is perfectly dodged by Berlock. "Is that the best you got?" Berlock says. Berlock stops avoiding Rex's attack.He holds Rex's left hand tight when Rex's is attacking him with his left hand. Rex didn't give up just yet, he attacks Berlock with his leg but is then blocked by Berlock using his leg as well. Rex then grows out three tails from his back and strike at Berlock fierecely. However, Berlock didn't feel a thing as his body is defenesed by the hard shell. Rex is shocked as he feels the hardness of Berlock's shell when he attacks him with his tails. There is nothing he can do now. "What's the matter? You look surprise. Hahahhahaha!!!" Berlock says as he looks at Rex's surprise face. Berlock then blow away Rex with his fist. Before Rex hits anything, Berlock move himself instantly to Rex's back and then kick him up to the sky. Berlock repeats this attacks for several times and Rex is being kicked so high that he cant even see the land. When it is high enough, Berlock flies to a higher place above Rex. He then form two fist with his hands. When Rex is blew near to him, he hammers Rex with his both fist as hard as he can. Rex is hit to the ground from a place so high in just a second. The landscape around Rex is fully destroyed by the explosion caused by the impact of Rex and the ground.
"I am going to die... I have falied... Everyone, I am so sorry..." Rex thinks in his mind with his body unconcoiusly lying on the ground. "Rex, you are not going to die, there is still hope as long as you believe." Elie speaks to Rex in his mind. "But, without the King of the Sky, I cant beat Berlock." Rex says. "Why don't you try to summon it?" Elies says. "Impossible, now that my whole body is evil, all has consumed by the darkness power, there is no way I can be the vessel for the King..." Rex replies. "Not all, Rex. You still have a pure heart. The purest heart that no one ever has. You always think of the others rather of yourself first. You are willing to sacrifice yourself for your frineds, for the people you love. Rex, this is more than enough to summon the King." Elie tells Rex. Berlock land himself on the ground far away from the eplosion. As the dust slowly fade away, Berlock is shocked to see what is in front of his very own eyes. "No... It is imppossible... there is no way in hell he can... No... No way... Impossible!!!" Berlock says surprisingly.
To be continue...
Chapter 15 - The Fallen Angel
The dust slowly fade away. A pair of wings with the white colour on the left and the black colour on the right is seen. Rex slowly walks out from the fading dust. He is wearing a suit of black armor and his hand is holding a black sword with some letter of unknown language written on it.
"Is that the King? He looks different from 16 years ago." Berlock thinks. "Who the hell are you?" Berlock asks Rex. "Me? I am nor the King neither the demon, I called this form the "Fallen Angel"." Rex says. "Fallen Angel? Hahaha!!! You are just equipped yourself with an armor and a sword. It makes no different for me. I am still going to kill you...hahaha!!!" Berlock says.
Rex didn't says a word. He then disappears from Berlock sight. "What?! Where did he go?" Berlock is surprised seeing that Rex suddenly disappear in front of him. "Where are you looking at?" Rex says as he suddenly reappear at Berlock's back and then kicks his head to the ground.
"ARGH!!!!!!" Berlock shouts painfully after kicked by Rex. Berlock is very angry with that. He then stands up and attacks Rex. Before he can reach Rex, another kick land on Berlock's stomach and he is being blew away to a mountain. The mountain is destroyed as Berlock hits it. Berlock is burried under the mountain that is crashed into pieces. Berlock then climb out from the pieces and says, "What are you?! Where did you gain that strenght from?!"
"This power? This is the power of the King that you fear the most. I has successfully summon the King." Rex says. "The King?! Impossible!!! You are unable to summon it anymore. Your body has not even a slightest pure part." Berlock says angrily. "It is true that my physical body has no slightest pure part left, but you forget to look what is inside my body. It is my heart, my feeling, my thought, my will. It is pure enough to summon the King and it is something that you demon will never understand." Rex explains to Berlock.
"Hahahahaha... Even so, the King is still evenly match with me. The seven guardians are not here to help you, you cant just beat me with the power of the King alone. Hahahahaha!!!" Berlock says with a bit relief. "Sorry to disappoint you, this power is not solely the King's power. Have you forget that I have master the darkness power completely? This is the combination of the King's power and your darkness power, I really have to thank you for that. Now, I will end your life and bring peace to the world with this new power." Rex counters back Berlock's words.
Berlock is really angry after listening to what Rex said. He cant accept the fact that Rex has successfully summon the King of the Sky. "I WILL CRUSH YOU WITH MY FULL POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Berlock says really angrily. Berlock's aura is becoming more intense. His body is getting bigger and muscular. The hard shell that covers his body is broken.
"It feels so good. Hahahahaha... This is the first time I unleash my full strength... Hahaha... Prepare to die now!!!" Berloack says and then he disappears.
Rex is calm. He then senses something coming from his right. It is Berlock's kick. Rex block the kick with his left hand. Then Berlock's punches Rex at his face on the left but is then blocked by Rex as well. Rex then kicks Berlock with his leg and is blocked by Berlock. Both of them continue to attack each other and block each other's attack for hundrends of attempt.
Rex decides to change his attacks by using his sword. He strikes at Berlock left shoulder but the sword cant cut through Berlock's body. Berlock stops attacking Rex when Rex cut him. He then tells Rex, "If you think my shell is the hardest part of my body then you are wrong, it is my skin.Hahaha!!!! The shell is just to seal my overload power within my body. Hahahahaha!!!"
Rex didn't listen to what Berlock says. "Argh!!!!!!" Rex shouts and he put all his strength on his swords. The sword begins to cut through Berlock's shoulder and finally, with more strength, Rex has cut off Berlock's hand from his body.
"He... He... He cut through me?!!! Impossible!!! Argh!!!" Berlock shouts in fear. At this moment, Berlock has clearly known that he cant win against Rex and he is going to be killed by Rex. He knows that he must run away from Rex so that he can survive.
Berlock picks up some sand on the ground and throws at Rex. And then he is ready to run back to his nest with all his might. Before he can do so, Rex's sword is putting in front of Berlock's neck and Rex is standing on Berlock's right shoulder. "Any last words?" Rex tells Berlock. "Please don't kill me......" Berlock says.
"No can do." Rex says and then he cut off Berlock's head from his body.
"I did it, guys. I have killed Berlock. Hahahahaha" Rex speaks to himself happily as he manages to kill Berlock. "Now, lets head back to help the other." Rex says and then fly back to Shangrila.
With Rex's help, all the demons are defeated. The city is regaining its peace.
Years later, Rex has get marry and has two children, one boy and one girl. The seven guardian of the Sky is then becoming the protector of the seven land that surround Shangrila and the King of the Sky has become a legend. Since then, no one ever see any demon anymore.
The End.
"Hurry up, we cant withstand much longer!!" ; "We need full support here!!" ; "We are losing too much troops, we need the medical army to treat the injured now!!"
Yes, it is at war - a war between human and the demon.
The King of the demon - Berlock, is a powerful and tyrannical ruler. Not even a single demon dare to go against him. Berlock has rule all the demon, but not the human.
Human being is protected by a powerful priest, they called her the Guardian of Human. Her real name is Elie. She is the only one that possesed the Holy power that can summon the seven guardians of the sky and the King of the sky. It is said that each guardian has the power equals to each of the seven generals of the demon and the King himself is equally strong as the King of demon. Of this reason, the demons are unreachable of the human and this peace has been protected for 20 years.
As any normal girl does, Elie gets married. Her soulmate - Ash, is no more than just an ordinary citizen. Even so, their love is of unquestionable. Soon, Elie is pregnant and going to give birth. This is a good news for the demons as Elie power will be at its minimum at the time she gives birth. Very soon, this news has spread to the demon King.
On the day of birth, the demon King has launch a full attack on human.
"Hurry up, we cant withstand much longer!!" ; "We need full support here!!" ; "We are losing too much troops, we need the medical army to treat the injured now!!"
Soon, the human army is overwhelmed by the demon army. The human army didn't stand a chance against the demon army. Many are dying, eaten by the demon, being tear apart, and burn to death without leaving a single trace. The seven lands, which surrounded the main land - Shangrila, is fallen. Each land is conquered by each of the seven generals.
"Please, let me do this, I must protect our kind" . Elie, soon after giving birth, is begging Ash to let her summon the seven guardian of the sky. "Please don't do this to me. You know how much I love you! I.. I cant imagine the days without you.. *sob*" . Ash is trying to prevent Elie from summoning the seven guardian because he knows that, with that body of Elie, she might lose her life upon the summoning. "Darling, listen to me k? I must do this, you know that. See, you won't be alone. Our son is going to be with you. I will seal my soul inside him after I go. Please take care of him for me. Promise me, k?" . Without saying a single word, Ash just cry as loud as he could, bearing the pain of losing his love one in front of him, slowly dying away.
At the price of Elie's life, the seven generals is defeated by the seven guardians of the sky with the very last of their power. Berlock is frustrated with this and charge himself into the battlefield. Easily, the seven guardian of the sky is defeated. The demons are now heading towards Shangrila, the place where the Elie's son is born and where Elie passes away.

Chapter 1 - The Story Begin
"Thanks for the breakfast." As usual, Rex thanks his dad for the breakfast. " Oh no, its 7.30 already! Hurry up Zen, I don't wanna be late again!" Rex yell at his older brother, Zen, who is 2 years older than him. "Oh Rex, who do you think you are talking to? Hahaha~~" Zen reply Rex in front of the house ready to depart. "Damn, why are you always so fast? Gotta go dad, see ya!" . Rex rush towards Zen. "Ok. Zen, please look after your brother for me, k? Who know what might happen to him this time. Hahaha~~" Ash says with a teasing tone. "Dad! I am 16 already, I can take care of myself just as fine!" Rex tell his old man with a little bit of unhappiness. "Oh ya? Isn't that last week you were just......" Unable to finish his sentence, Ash is interrupted by Rex, "Please dad, don't mention that anymore. It was kinda embarrassing. Hehe~~" Rex slow down his voice as he talk. "Don't worry dad, I will take care of Rex. I will make sure he comes back home in one piece. See ya dad, we have to go now." Zen tell his father with a smile on his face that hide a little bit of seriuosness. Looking at the back of Rex and Zen, Ash shouts at both of them, "Have fun in school, my dear sons!" Rex and Zen respond to Ash by waving their hands.
As soon as Rex and Zen are out of Ash sight, his cellphone rang. ESID is written on the cellphone screen. Ash answers the call with a face full of worries. "My lord, the demon has taken action. They are trying to kill Prince Rex." After listening to that, Ash answers seriously, "Its time."
On the way to the school, Rex talk to Zen, "Zen, you don't have to follow me wherever I go, you know. I have grown up, I really can take care of myself." "Are you sure about that? Isn't that last week you were just scared by a puppy at the park? Hahaha~~ " Zen starts to tease Rex as what he alwalys did. "That's because...... That because of...... Because...... " Rex was unable to spit out another word from his mouth. He just turn away from Zen with a little bit of shyness. "See, in the end, you still need me to be by your side. Rex, I know it is troublesome sometimes for me to be with you all the time, but I did this just to protect you. Well, you will understand one day. Listen, once you have proven to me you really can take care of yourself, I will leave you. And that is a promise, k?" Rex quickly pick up a tiny stone on the roadside and ran towards the park. "What are you doing, Rex?" Zen ask curiously. "Prove to you!" Rex answers while running.
A moment later, Rex reach the park and sees a dog sleeping at the park. He has completely forget the fact that he is going to be late to school. "I will prove it to you, Zen. I will prove it that I can take care of myself. All I have to to is just avoid being chase by the dog, well a mad dog~~ Argh, I am not a kid anymore. I can do it!" Rex thinks in his mind and ready the tiny stone in his hand. He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. He throw the tiny stone towards the dog with his full strength. "Did I hit it?" Rex thinks in his mind again. He opens his eyes. Shockingly, what stands infront of him is not the dog, but a creature that he had never seen before in his entire life.
To be continue...
Chapter 2 - Awaken
"Rex, get down!" Rex do as being told. 3 blue flame bullets passing through Rex from above and hit the giant red monster. "DEMON! How did you get in here?! Each gate of Shangrila is heavily guarded by the most elite squad, even a demon general are not able to pass through that easily. How the hell did you get to here without a single crash on you?!"
Ash is shock when he hears the word "demon". He has never thought of the existance of the demon before. That is not all, what shock him most is that his brother, Zen, who grow up together with him since they were kid, knows it all along and never talk to him a single word about demon.
"Zen... What do you mean by demon? What are the demon? Why did you armed with guns? Who are you? Answer me, ZEN!!!" Rex cant think rationally. He is getting nervous and don't know what to do. "Rex, calm down! Listen to me, this guy here is dangerous. He is going to kill us both. Now, I want you to run back home with all your might, I will buy some time for you. GO NOW!!!"
"Foolish human, buying some time? Hahaha!! Don't make me laugh, don't compare me with the other demon, I am 10 times stronger than the old demon general!" Says the demon proudly. "Old demon generel......? What happen to those general?" Zen ask the demon. "Hahaha! Well, if that is your dying wish, let me just tell you. The old demon general were all devour by the King to heal himself. I am one of the new seven generals, Zabex, and is 10 times stronger. And how did I get in here? Because I am the only generel that posseses the teleportation power. I just teleport myself with the dog. I bet that poor dog is probably being eaten by the other demon right now. Wahahaha!! So prepare to die now!!!" Zabex rushes towards Zen and attacks him.
"REX!! Don't just freeze at there. RUN!!!" Zen shouts at Rex while dodging Zabex's attacks. With the mind overflow with fear, Rex begin to run as what a normal human will do when face with danger. He run towards home with all his might without thinking that he is leaving Zen to fight alone.
After Rex is out of sight, Zen take off a distance from Zabex and says with little smile, "Zabex, you might be the general, but don't underestime me. I am the top elite soldier of all. With Rex out of the sight, I can fight with my full strength with no distraction. Now, take this!" Zen fires hundreds of blue falme bullets at once at a speed that cant be catch by the normal human eyes.
On the other side, Rex suddenly stop running. He has calm down a bit and finally is able to think rationally. "No, this is not right. All the time, Zen has been protecting me whenever I am in trouble.This time, Zen is in trouble and all I do is running away. No, I am not going to let him fight alone. I am going to help him. I am not going to run anymore!!!" The strong determination of Rex has lead him to the park where Zen and Zabex fight.
When Rex reaches the park, he sees Zen is lying on the ground with blood all over his body and the monster is hurt, but not so badly. "Haha, kid, is that all you've got? You are all just talking." Zabex finishes his last word and going to give Zen the fatal blow with his tail. Rex, without further hesitation, run towards Zen and stand in front of Zen with his both hands open wide. "STOP IT!!!" Rex shouts at Zabex and at the same time, Rex chest glows. It glows so bright that nobody was able to see a thing.
To be continue...
Chapter 3 - The Seven Guardian of the Sky
"What!! Impossible!! These are the sky guardians!" syas Zabex with his tail blocks by the shield of Gard - the Holy Knight of the sky.
"These are the seven guardians of the sky... I see, your power has finally awaken." Zen says with a weak voice. "Zen... Don't talk anymore... You are... You are badly wonded. Lets get you to the hospital...*sob*" The tears falls down from Rex swollen eyes as he speaks. "Rex, still remember the promise? Now, you have proven that... *cough*... you are capable of taking care of yourself. So,...*cough*... I am going to leave you soon...*cough*... just as promise...*cough*... Be strong, Rex. Use your...*cough*...power for...*cough*...*cough*...the sake of human.. I... I love...*cough*...*cough*...you......" Having his last word said, Zen closes his eyes. "No... This is not true... Somebody please tell me this is not true! Somebody, please!!! ZEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rex cries in madness. "It's all your fault! You are the one that killed Zen! I AM NOT GOING TO FORGIVE YOU!!!!!!" Rex stares at Zabex with all the anger in his eyes. "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!!" Rex rushes towards Zabex like a mad person.
"Master!!! Please stay right where you are!" In responds to the voice, Rex stops his steps. His anger is disappearing. "Please let us do this, Master. We are going to help you avenge your frined." says Yiury - the Wise of the sky. "Master, please step back a little, we don't wanna hurt you." says Clank - the Swordsman of the sky. "Lets go to somewhere safer, Master " Zesh - the Healer of the sky, holds Rex's hand and carries Zen on her back to somewhere far from the park.
"Dont you ever think of running away!" Zabex strike his tail towards Rex. Again, Zabex's tail is being block, but this time is blocked by Dex - The Speeder of the sky, with his two silver spears.
"Argh!!!" Zabex is shot by thousamds of flaming arrows from the back. "Don't ever turn your back on your opponent." Kazac - the Sniper of the sky, says coolly with both his crossbow pointing at Zabex.
Zabex laugh, "HAHAHAHHAHA!!! Do you really think all of you can win against me? I am 10 times stronger than the old general. None of you stand a chance against me. Hahaha!!!"
"Maybe it is true that you are stronger, but now it is 6 against 1. Besides, do you really think that we are just doing nothing for the past 16 years? If you think that we are still like how we used to be, then you are making a big mistake." Says Yiury.
Zabex is getting angry after listening to what Yiury said. He charge towards Yiury but Gard step forward to defense Yiury. Yiury quickly seal Zabex's movement by locking Zabex's hands and legs with his spell. Clank, Dex and Kazac attack from the left, right and back ewspectively at the same time. Gard switch from defense to offense and attack Zabex from the front. With the spells on his hands and legs, Zabex is unable to dodge all the attacks. And so, Zabex is badly injured by the attacks. With all his strength, Zabex breaks the spell and steps far away from the guardians.
"I will remember you all, damn guardians. The next time we meet, it means your death!" Zabex begins to teleport himself. "What?! What happen?!" Zabex says shockingly. "There will be no next time. Because today will be your death day." Max - the Magician of the sky, has move all of them to his own dimension from the time Rex leaves the battlefield. That's explained why Zabex cant teleport himself.
"DAMN YOU!!! GUARDIANS!!!!!!"

Chapter 4 - Berserk
Looking at Rex, Zesh shakes her head. Knowing there is no more hope for Zen, tears flows down from Rex's cheek to the ground.
"Rex, don't be sad... I have always know that this one day will come, the day that.. that we will be apart from each other.... Don't cry, Rex. You have given me a wonderful 16 years... Every second we spent together...*cough*... is meaningful enough... *cough*... Go... Go find your dad... He will tells you everything...*cough*..." Zen is getting weaker and weaker. With the very last bit of his breath, he smiles and says, "Thank you, my brother......" Zen passes away with the happiest smile ever on his face.
A moment later, the six guardians arrive at where Rex is after killing Zabex. "Zabex is dead. And how is the boy?" Asked Yiury. Again, Zesh shakes her head. There is a silence for a while. "Master, we have to leave now, we cant stay at the human world for too long. Go find your dad, Ash. It is time for him to tell you the truth." Yiury breaks the silent. "Until we meet again." Yiury and the other guardians start to glow and then disappear.
Rex stands up, carrying Zen's dead body on his back, walking back home with all sort of emotion running trough his head. But one thing for sure, he knows that everything will be clear once he sees his dad.
When Rex reaches his house, another unacceptable thing happens. His house is completely burned and there are many armored dead body all over the ground. What he sees in front of his very own eyes are two demons of the size of normal human being, one blue and one white, with the blood stain all over their body. The white demos is pinching Ash with his claw and asking Ash, "Where is the boy?"
Ash is shocked when he sees Rex is standing nearby. "REX!!! RUN!!!!!!" He shouts at Rex. The two demons see Rex. The white demon pierce through Ash stomach with his claw and then charge towards Rex.
"No... No... No... No... No... No... This cant be happening... This is not true... This morning, we were just having our breakast... And... And dad was teasing me like he alwasy used to... *sob* ... Why? Why is this happening?! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ash has gone beserk.
To be continue...
Chapter 5 - The Hidden Power of Rex
"ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rex cant control his emotion anymore. He is berserking. Soon, his skin turns black and all over his body is covered with black flame. The evil aura is flowing through his body. A tail and a pair of black wings is coming out from his back. His nails are getting longer and become very sharp at the edge. He looks exactly just like a demon.
As the white demon charges towards Rex, just before he can reach Rex, the next thing he knows is his headless body is standing in front of the demoinic Rex and his head is already on the ground. An instant death is granted on the white demon.
"What has happened?! I didn't saw he moves at all. Is he moves too fast even for the demon general?! No way, it cant be!!! What the hell is he?!!!! Is he some kind of......" Unable to finish his sentence, the same fate as the white demon falls upon the blue demon. "Mon...ster......" The blue demon finishes his sentence with his head off his body.
Having the two demon generals killed, Rex, in the demon form, stands still and looks around, searching for the next victim to be killed. He then saw a girl, about 5 years old, with her tricycle, crying at nearby. Demon Rex turns himself to the girls position. He slowly lifts his tail. Up until a certain height, he strikes his tail rapidly at the girl.
"Stop, REX!!!" Just before his tail is about to hit the girl, a voice is heard in his head. "Rex, stop it. Don't kill the girl, she is innocent. Be calm. Don't become like a demon, you are not a demon. Because, you are my son." Yes, that is Elie's voice. It is her soul that is sealed inside Rex's body that speaks. Elie then speaks again, gently, "Rex, don't let the demonic power control you. You are not the vessel for the demon. Become the master of the demonic power, use it as it is your own. Use your will to control it. I know you can do it, Rex."
The black flame that surrounds demon Rex begins to disappear. The wings and the tails vanish in the thin air. The nails beome shorter and the skin turns back to its original colour. Rex is back to normal again. All of the sudden, he feels that his whole body is powerless and he kneels to the ground.
"Don't move." A guy in the elite soldier uniform points the gun at Rex's forehead.
To be continue...
Chapter 6 -The truth of the Untold Past
"Shen......" Rex stares at the elite soldier, Shen, who is pointing the gun at his forehead.
"Stand up!" Shen commands Rex. Rex is satnding up with his weak body in an unstable way, in a way that he might falls at any second. Shen's gun is pointing at Rex's forehead all the time as Rex is standing up. Finally, with lots of effort, Rex is able to stands up straight.
"Turn around!" Shen commands Rex again, but this time, Rex didn't do as being commanded. Rex stands up straight looking at Shen with the face full of sadness. "I said turn around! Otherwise you will have these bullets get through your head!" Shen commands Rex once more but with a more aggressive tone this time.
Instead of turning around, Rex walks towards Shen and stop at a point where Shen's gun gets into contact with Rex's forehead. "If that is what you want, then just pull the trigger..." Rex says in a way as if it is meaningless for him to live in this world anymore. "Just do it! I... I cant take it anymore... First is Zen, then dad... Whose next?!!! I don't want to see this anymore... Somebody please stop this silly joke! It is not funny at all... I... I don't want... Don't want to see people dying anymore... At least not you... Because... Bcause you are my best friend in this whole world... I... I really cant bear the pain of losing you... Please... Please just let me die... Let me out of this misery... I am begging you..." Rex cries in the saddest way ever.
Bang!!! Shen pulls the trigger. However, the bullet didn't hits Rex, it hits the ground next to Rex. Rex is shocked at an instant. He thought that he is dead for sure when he heard the gun sounds but the fact is he is not.
"Death won't solve anything. Rex, you are not alone. We will share your pain with you. We will fight along your side." Shen speaks to Rex in a gentle voice. He then hugs Rex and says, "It is good to know that you still retain your humanity. At a moment, I thought that I am going to lost my best friend forever. I am so glad."
With the sudden change of Shen's character, Rex knows that he still have people that he can count on. He knows that he can count on Shen as Shen has never disappointed him before. He knows that what Shen's said is true as Shen's is a person that mark his word. Now, he feels a little bit relief in his heart. He knows that thare is still hope and everything will be turn out fine in the end. He decides to put his trust on this hope and won't give up his life easily anymore.
"Lets go, Rex. It is not safe at here." Shen tells Rex to go to somewhere safer. "But... But how about dad and Zen?" Rex bites his mouth until bleed when he mentions Ash and Zen. He is still unacceptable of the sudden death of Ash and Zen. Shen puts his hand on Rex's right shoulder and says, "They are both the greatest people ever. They sacrifice their live to keep you alive. And now, you are carrying their live within you. Live yourself. Do not let them die in vain." Shen encourages Rex to live strong. "The speacial squad will arrives soon, they will take care of your dad and Zen. I know it is still hard for you to accept it, but we have to leave now. I have to get you to somewhere safe, beacuse the demons are trying to kill you. I will explain everything to you once we are safe. So, lets go."
Without saying a word, Rex just nodes his head and follows Shen to somewhere safer. Along the way, Shen is cautiously looks around to prevent any ambush and to make sure that no demons are following them. 20 minutes later, they arrive at the school, the school where Rex and Zen study at. Shen leads Rex to the principal room. He then pull out a book on the book rack and the book rack begin to split apart. A door made of steel is hidden at the back of the book rack. Shen lets his eye and his thumb being scan by the scaning machine on the door.
"ID CONFIRMED" The door is then opened. It is a lift. Shen and Rex go in the lift and then the door is closed.
"Rex, we are heading to the headquater. Now, I will explain to you everything and who you really are. 16 years ago, there is a war.................." Shen is telling Rex the truth of the past. Shen continues to speak, "............ When Berlock reaches Shangrila, he looked for you everywhere because he fears that you might inherited the Holy power from your mother. In fact, you are. As Berlock found you, without a second delayed, he quickly launched an attack on you. However, your dad blocked the first attack for you and he is severely wounded. With the first attack failed, Berlock stroke at you again. Just before he can reach you, your Holy power was awaken. Your dad believed that it was your mother that awake your Holy power as she sealed her soul within you just before she passed away. Then, the seven guardians were summoned by you. However, with the seven guardians power, it was still not enough to defeat Berlock. Therefore, the guardians decide to summon the King of the sky, but they needed a vessel. Previously, it was your mother that became the vessel, but at that time, she had passed away. Your dad then volunteer himself to become the vessel despite how badly wounded he is. The guardians agreed to your dad as there was no other choice. And so, the king was summoned and possessed your dad's body. The King and Berlock fought for several hours but they were evenly matched. Finally, with the help from the seven guardians, they managed to wound Berlock. Berlock knew that he will lost if he continued to fight. Therefore, he chose to retreat, but just before he retreated, he somehow managed to scratch you with his jaw and his blood was flowing into your body and that explains why you gone berserk just now." Shen pauses for a while, looking at Rex and then continues to speak again, "In the end, we won the war and your dad became the lord of human. However, he decided to let you live a normal human life just like any other teenagers does and commanded all of us to keep the past as a secret from you. He did this so that you will not be haunted by the tragic past and to make sure that you can live as happy as possible. What a loving father he is."
As Rex listens to the last part about his dad, his tears flows down, but he is not crying. He knows that he has to be strong because there maybe a war very soon.
The lift stops. "Here we are, my prince. The headquater of Shangrila, where all the elite soldier are trained and all the weapon to fight against the demons are developing at here." Shen's speaks as the lift opens.
To be continue...
Chapter 7 - Training
Rex and Shen walk out from the lift. On his left, he sees there are solidier wearing the black armor and train with each other. On his right, "Those are my classmate!" Rex says surprisingly. "Yes, they are. We divided out soldier into two main group, which are Elite Soldier In the Dark and Elite Soldier In the Light. In short, we called them ESID and ESIL. ESID is mainly for the sneak attack, gathering information and protecting you in the dark. While, ESIL are the people around you that protect you in a close range. In fact, the whole school's students are ESIL."
Rex is surprised. He didn't says a word. Just silently listen to what Shen says. "Shen, the prisident, the second person after the lord, would like to meet you. Follow me." Rex follows Shen and they head towards the center of the headquater. At the center, there is a building made of thick steel and is armed with many sensor weapons.
Shen scans his fingerprint and his eyes with the scanner on the wall next to the door. The heavy door is then opened. Inside the building, the design is the same as the principal room with the chair's back facing Rex and Shen.
"Sir, I have brought you the prince." Shen put his right hand on his chest as he speaks. The chair slowly turn aound and Rex sees the president face. Again, Rex exclaims surprisingly, "Mr, Albert?!" That's right, Mr. Albert - the principal of Rex's school.
"Ah, Rex. This is not the first time we meet, am I right? Last time you were called to my office because of that...... Well you know, that incident...hahaha..." Albert, a funny old man, teases Rex just like his old man used to. Rex's face turns red immediately. "You are just like my......" Rex pauses his sentence and then continues to speak, "old man......" The environmant suddenly turns into a silent. "Rex, I am sorry for your lost. But now is not the time to be sad. Soon, there will be a war, just like 16 years ago, or maybe worser. We need your power. Will you help us?" Albert says in a serious manner. "Yes, I will definitey do it, I am going to take revenge for my dad and Zen!" Rex says with a bit of anger. "It is good to hear that" Albert stands up as he speaks. He then bow down and speaks, "Now, you will be our new lord, we will follow your order."
"Please, raise up your body. I just wish that we can be like a family, is that ok?" Rex says. "Hahahaha... You are a funny one. Well, as you wish, my lord." "Rex is enough." Rex says instantly after Albert finish his sentence. "Hahahahaha... Yes, Rex. Look at you, you are all dirty, why don't you take a shower first? Then we will continue with your training." Albert says with a big smile on his face." "Training?" Rex ask. "Yes, your power is still immature, we have to train you until you can gain a full vontrol on your power and we have to make sure you can suppress the demon power within you so that you wont't gone berserk again. Well, Shen will be your training partner. He is one of the two best elite soldier, and the other one is......" The silent breakthrough the conversation again. "Well, anyway, with Shen be your partner, your training should be done in no time. Shen, please bring Rex for the shower first." Albert speaks after he pauses for a while.
"Yes, sir!" Shen puts his right hand on his chest as he speaks. Looking at Rex, Shen says, "My prince..." "Rex!" Rex interrupt Shen as he speaks. With a smile on Shen's face, he speaks again, "Rex, please come with me."
They both leave the building and go to the restroom. Minutes later, after Rex finishes bath, Shen leads Rex to the trainig ground. It is a big empty room of the size of the football field. Rex finds himself really hard to believe that there is such a big space under the school.
Shen takes out an armor and give it to Rex. "Wear this if you don't want to get hurt." Rex do as being told. "Now, hits me with all you got." Shen tells Rex in an enjoying tone.
To be continue...
Chapter 8 - The War Begins
Few days pass.
"Lets call it a day, you are all torn up." Shen looks at Rex and the guardians as he speaks. Now, Rex is able to summon the seven guardians anytime he wants. "No, I will continue." Rex says with stong determination. "Master, please listen to Shen, your body cant take it anymore. Resting is part of the training as well." Says Resh.
Rex listens to Resh and goes back to his room to take some rest. Shen follows Rex to his room as it is his duty to make sure Rex is safe at anytime.
"Shen, why aren't the demons after me anymore?" Rex ask Shen. "Rex, don't worry. This place is sealed with an energy barrier that can prevent the demons from sensing you. You ar absolutly safe as long as you stay in here." Answers Shen. Rex has no question about the energy barrier as there is not a single demon he saw in this few days.
Suddenly, something comes into Rex mind. "Then what about Shangrila?" Rex speaks urgently. Shen just throw away his eyesight from Rex without saying a word. "Shangrila is being attacked by the demon isn't it? Why aren't you telling me?! Why don't you tell me the truth?!" Rex says angrily. "Rex, I hope you know what's the most important thing right now. You have to master your power as soon as possible. If I tell you we are at war now, it probably will affect your training." Shen answers seriously. "Many people are dying out there because of me. I don't want anymore people die because of me!!! I am going out now!!!" Rex says with more anger. Shen slaps Rex on his face and Rex falls down to his bed. "Calm down! If you go out now, it means the end of the world. A little sacrifices are needed for the peace of the world! If you don't want more people to die, then you have to stay focus on your training and master your Holy power as soon as possible. You are the only one that can save them all." Shen exclaims.
After listening to those words, Rex stands up and begins to walk out from his room silently. "Where are you going?" Shen ask. "To the training ground." Rex answers. Shen smile a little as he knows that Rex understands what he says and being rational.
As Rex walks out from his room, the alarm sounds. "Attention!! Attention!! All soldier please proceed to the main gate. The headquarter's first line defense was breakthrough by the demons." The leader of the army shouts at all the soldier.
"Impossible, how did they find us?! Even the demon generals are unable to." Shen says in shock.
"Young man, your sentence is not fully correct, you have missed an "old" words before the demon generals. Hahahahaha!!! We are the new demon generals, way more stronger than the old one!" Says an orange demon, Lukas, with his claw on Rex's neck and at his back stand the other three demon generals. Nobody realise that they are here until Lukas speaks.
To be continue...
Chapter 9 - Shift
Rex is calmed even Lukas is pointing his claw on Rex's neck. Rex stares at Lukas with confidence. He then holds Lukas's claw tigthly with his right hand. Lukas is shocked. He try to strike his claw at Rex but sadly he is unable to do so. Lukas is unable to move his claw even a bit.
"Surprise?" Rex says. "There will be more surprises for you." Rex continues to speaks. The truth is, Lukas is not the only one that is surprised, the other three demon generals and Shen are surprised by Rex's action as well. They all are surprised that Rex's has the strength to stop the strike from a demon general.
"Guardian of the SKY, I SUMMON YOU!!!" Rex summons the seven guardians of the sky. Immediately, Rex's chest glows and then the seven guardians come out from the light. "Guardians of the sky, I want all of you to assist the soldier, I will take care of these so call demon general." Rex stares at all the demon general when he mention the word "demon general".
"Rex, I don't know where you get that ridiculous power. But against four of them, you have no chance of winning!" Shen speaks and he is still in shock.
"Shen, don't underestimate me." Rex tells Shen. When he finishes his sentence, the black aura comes out form his body. His skin begins to turn black and his nails are getting longer and shaper. Wings and tail begins to grow out. Rex has completely turn into a demon just like when he went berserk.
The demon generals and Shen are all shocked once again. Shen points his gun towards Rex. "Relax, Shen. I am still Rex. I am able to completely control the demon power within me. I have to thank Berlock for his blood, that was the best birthday's gift I ever received...hahaha..." Rex says arrogantly.
"But, how? When? I was with you all the time. It is impossible that I don't know." Shen says. "Well, to be exact, not all the time. You are not there when I train in my dream. My mum's soul sealed half of the demon power and let the other half control by me. Every night in my dream, she trained me. It was a training of will power. Trust me, you wont' want to know what I have been trhough. Even though it is only half of the demon power, but it is more than enough to take care of these "rubbish" here." Rex tear away Lukas's claw from his body as Rex finishes his last word. Lukas shouts in pain.
"Now, go do what you have to do, Shen. Just leave these "rubbish" here to me. Resh, go heal the wounded and the other guardian please assist the soldier to fight against the demons." Rex says. "Rex, you have really grown up. Just promise me one thing. Don't die." Shen tells Rex. Rex just smile and din says a word. Shen then breakthrough the demons general with the protection from the guardians. Now, the room only left the four demon generals and demon Rex.
"Lets go to somewhere wider, shall we? It will be a pain to fight in here." Rex flies towards the training ground as he don't want to involve other in their fight. Being humiliated by Rex, the demon generals chase after Rex.
Seconds later, Rex reaches the training ground of the size of a football field with no others around. When the demons generals reach, the three demon generals - Shpinx of the wind demon, Granta of the earth demon and Flare of the flame demon, charge at Rex all at once. Lukas stay still on the ground, accumulating his energy from his whole body waiting the chance for a finishing blow.
To be continue...
Chapter 10 - The Battle
Shpinx, Flare and Granta with their hands surround by ttheir own element, strike at Rex at different direction, from the left, right and at the front. The only way for Rex to avoid their attack is to move backward. Soon after he tries to move backward, he realises that he is immobilese. His leg is being held tight by the ground as Granta has locked Rex movement with the earth beneath him without being realised by Rex.
Out of all the escape option, Rex blocks Shpinx and Flare attacks with his wings on both side. He then bloks Granta attacks with his two bare hands by forming a cross in front of his chest. Receiving the direct blow from three demon generals, Rex is experiencing some degree of damage. Rex coughes a little and blood comes out from his mouth.
There is a pause for a while. Rex can sense that the three demon general has lower their guard on him as they manage to damage him. Without wasting a second, Rex catches the Shpinx off guard by striking his tail through his wings and directly pierce through Shpinx's chest.
Shpnix falls on the ground with a hole on his chest and says, "I... I am too careless!!" With that condition, Shpinx is hardly able to fight anymore. Seeing this, Flare quickly takes some distance from Rex. As Granta trying to step away from Rex, without able to do so, his body is being pierce through by a claw.
It is not Rex's claw, it is Lukas'. Lukas didn't just stop there. He continues to charge through Granta body until his claw with an enormous amount of enery hits Rex. Rex takes on the deadly blow as he was immobilise.
However, just before Lukas is able to hit Rex, Rex manage to cover himself with both his wings at the front and his hands of the cross shape behind his wings. It was a double protection. Still, despite how well defense he is, Rex is taking heavy damage. His wings are all destroy and his hands suffer a lot of damage.
"How do you like that? That is for what you have done to my claw jus now...hahahaha!!!" Lukas speaks in enjoyment.
Flare looks at Lukas in shock and says, "You bastard!! How dare you killed your own comrade. I am not going to forgive you!!" Flare speaks in anger. He let himself being control by the anger. Without realising what he does, he charges at Lukas fiercely.
"I see, so you have chosen death as well, huh?" Lukas says and then he pulls out his claw from Granta's dead body and strike through Flare's body when Flare is charging close enough to him. "Fools, do you really think you can win against me, the leader of the demon generals? I am way more stronger than anyone of you...hahahaha!!!" Even though Lukas only left with one hand, but he still manage to kill Flare, the demon general easily.
Lukas then looks at Shpinx. Without saying a word, he spit out red flame from his mouth and burns Shpinx to death. "A bunch of worthless rubbish...hahahaha!!!" Lukas is enjoying the killing madness.
"This guy is crazy, and he is strong. With the condition I am right now, it is hard for me to win against him. But I bet he has not much energy left after giving me that deadly blow. He must have been use up lots of energy." Rex thinks in his mind.
"Hahahahhaha!!! At least you all are useful when you are dead!! Hahahha!!!" Lukas drains energy from Shpinx, Flare and Granta's dead body. Soon, all the three dead body turn into dust when Lukas finishes absorb the energy from them. Lukas's energy begins to recover and his claw starts to regenerates. In a second, Lukas has becomes as new as ever.
"This is really bad." Rex thinks in his mind.
To be continue...
Chapter 11 - At the Edge of Unreturned
"Mum, I need more power, at this rate, I am going to lose." Rex speaks with Elie in his heart. "No, if I unseal anymore of your darkness power, you are going to lose yourself, I don't want you gone berserk again... I don't wanna lose you, Rex." Elie replies. "Mum, trust me, I am not going to give in myself to the darkness power that easily, I am going to suppress it. Trust me, mum." Rex tries to convince Elie. "But..." Elis is hesitating. "Mum, 70% is enough, I will be able to control it. Please don't hesitate anymore. If not I am going to be killed by Lukas." Rex tries to convince Elie with his life being threaten. Elie knows that there is no more way for Rex to win this battle unless she unseal his darkness power. She has to come out with a decision either to save his son or the mankind because she knows that once Rex gone berserk, all the soldier at the headquarter will not be able to survive. Then, she makes the decision. She choose Rex. "Rex, do keep your promise." Elie tells Rex.
Elie unseal Rex's darkness power up to 70% as requested by Rex. The darkness energy that flows around Rex's body become more saturated. The wings that was destroyed by Lukas begins to regenerate. Another two tails grow out from his back. Two horns begin to grow out from Rex forehead and his body is getting larger and more tough. Now, no one can tell that he is Rex anymore.
"Rex?" Elie tries to make sure that Rex is able to cpntrol the power. "Mum, don't worry, I am still able to control it. Your son aint that weak. Now, lets finish this up real fast." Elie feels relief when she hears Rex's sound. However, Rex knows that he has to kill Lukas as fast as possible because he knows that he cant control the power for too long. He may lose himself at anytime.
"So, that is your full power huh? Hope you won't disappoint me..hahahaha.." Lukas speaks to Rex.
Rex takes the first attacks by flying towards Lukas and striking Lukas with his tails rapidly. Sadly, all the attacks are dodge by Lukas. Knowing these attacks cant harm Lukas, Rex steps a few steps away from Lukas. He then generates thounsands of black arrow with his dark aura and then the spears all strike at Lukas at once in all direction at a speed that is too fast even for Lukas.
This time, Lukas is unable to dodge the attacks. Lukas has no choice but to defense himself with both his bare hands. Without delaying a second, Rex charges towards Lukas with two dark swords in his hands. He then strike at Lukas rapidly and continuously with the swords. Losing his balance and unprepare, Lukas takes all the attacks from Rex. Up until a certain amount of attacks, Rex stops the attack and move instantly to Lukas back. He then accumulates all his energy in both his hands and then unleash all the eanergy in the form of beam from Lukas back. Lukas takes the hit directly and get blow away at high speed and then he hits the wall of the training ground. The wall is all destroyed and Lukas is burried under the pieces of the wall.
"*pant*...*pant*...*pant*... Did I kill him?" Rex says while he is panting rapidly. Rex goes to the place where Lukas falls down to make sure that Lukas is dead. As he reaches there, Lukas's claw suddenly comes out from the wall pieces and pinches Rex's neck. He then gets up with his body that suffers severe damages and holds Rex up in the mid air. Rex is unable to do anything in his situation right now.
"Not bad, kid. You are the second one, after the king, that is able to hurt me until this crtical condition. But, too bad, I win...hahaha..." Lukas begins to put more pressure on his claw as he wants to tear off Rex's head from his body.
To be continue...
Chapter 12 - Hundred Percent
The seven guardians go to the training ground where Rex and the demon generals fight as soon as they defeated the demon army. As they reaches the battlefield, they see Lukas' dead body on the ground and Rex in the hunam form, standing upright emotionless.
Zesh walks towards Rex, putting her hand on Rex's shoulder and ask, "Master, are you alright?"
The next thing they know is Zesh's hand is cut off from her body and fall on the ground. Seeing things are not getting right, Dex uses his instant teleportation to bring Zesh to where all the guardians are. Max begins chanting and in a while, he has bring all of them and Rex into another dimension. All of the guardians stay alert against Rex.
"Guardians of the sky, can you hear me?" Elie's sound is heard by all the guardians in their mind. "Elie...?" Yiury reply. "Guardian of the sky, please forgive me... It is all my fault that Rex turns into this monster. I unseal 80% of his demon power at the very moment Rex was going to pinch to death by Lukas. I knew he is going to go berserk if I unseal his power, but I have no choice, I cant let my son die in front of me..." Elie says sadly. "Elie, you did the right thing. All the mother in the world will do anything to keep their child safe. Just leave the rest to us, it is our duty as a guardian to save Rex." Yiury tells Elie. "Thank you..." Elie replies sincerely in a crying tone.
"Max, I will seal Rex's darkness power with my sealing technique, but I need time and no interruption. So, please let me and Zesh out of this dimension." Yiury tells Max. "I can still fight..." Zesh says. "No, you are not. You are badly wounded. In this condition, you will just be a burden to others. Besides, I need you out there for me. When I am done with my chanting, you have to let Max know as I am unable to speak at that moment." Yiury tells Zesh. Then he looks at Max and says, "Max, when you get the signal, bring all of you back to where I am and I am gonna seal Rex's power instantly."
"I understand." Max says.
"We will try to hold Rex as long as possible." Gard says.
"Heal yourself out there, when we are done with this, we gonna need you healing ability." Kazac says.
"This aint gonna be easy, he is our master after all." Clank syas.
"Everyone, please just don't die. If you die, there is nothing else I can do. Please come back in one piece..." Zesh says looking at all the other guardians. The other guardians just smile and didn't say anything. Max transfers Yiury and Zesh back to the training ground.
At the training ground, Zesh begins to heal herself and Yiury begins to chant for his sealing technique.
15 minutes passes since then. Now, Yiury's sealing technique is ready. Zesh give Max the signal. Then, a second later, Max and the other guardians as well as Rex appears at the training ground. The guardians are all wounded badly.
"Viva Krana Tesch Verbuli Dras!!!" A magic circle appears beneath Rex when Yiury finishes his last chanting. Iron chains come out from the ground and lock Rex. Rex is unable to move now.
"In the name of the lord of the sky, may your soul be back to yourself, may the darkness......" Yiury continues the chanting. Rex is struggling to free himself from the iron chains. "Evil, be g......" As Yiury is about to finish the chanting, Rex with all his power, breaks apart the iron chains.
"What, it cant be!" Yiury says in shock. In fact, all the guardian are shock too. "This is bad, I cant trasfer us to the other dimension anymore. The technique can only be used once a day." Max says. "We will try to buy you some time, Yiury. Try to seal Rex once more with your sealing technique." Clank says. Then, all the guardians charge towards Rex except for Gard. He is staying with Yiury and Zesh to protect them as Yiury cant be interrupted and Zesh is wounded.
Very fast, the badly wounded four guardians is defeated by Rex. They didn't stand a chance against Rex. Rex look at Max and then charge towards Max. This time, he is really trying to kill Max.
"REX!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Shen arrives at the training ground and shouts at Rex. Rex stop his attack when he is just about to pierce through Max.
"Shen?! What are you doing at here?! This is not a playground for you! Please run!!!" Zesh is surprised that Shen is there and ask Shen to run away from the training ground.
It is too late. Rex looks at Shen. A tail grows out from Rex's back and strike at Shen. It pierces through Shen right arm and Shen is hit to the wall with Rex's tail stab on his right arm. Then another tail grows out from Rex's back and Rex is aiming his tail at Shen's forehead.
"Rex, do you still remember your promise? You said that you don't want people around you die because of you anymore... And I am too. I don't want to lose you, you are my best friend in the world... REX!!! I know you can hear me... Please, come back... " Shen speaks loudly and sadly with his tears flowing down form his cheek.
Regardless of what he said, Rex is still striking his tail at Shen. The other guardians try to stop Rex but it is too late, they cant reach Rex in time.
Just when Rex's tail is about to strike through Shen's forehead, it stops. Tears flows down from Rex's cheek. "I... I am... keeping... my promise...Shen... Thank you..." Rex speaks in pain. He is gaining his conciousness after listening to what Shen has said. His inner self is fighthing against the darkness power. "ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rex's head is so painful. Everyone is loking at him. "Argh!!!! Damn demon, I will suppress you!!!!! Argh!!!!!" Rex is trying to suppress the full unleash of his darkness power.
"Master, I will help you." Says Yiury. "NO!!! Let me do it myself!!! I am not gonna lose to this thing!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Rex struggles painfully. In the end, he is able to control the 100% darkness power. The two tails that grows out earlier is disappearing. Now he is just as good as the normal Rex. The only thing is that he is surrounded by the black aura. However, his mind is as clear as ever. This is the 100% darkness form of Rex.
At the far side of the training ground. A tiny demon is watching the whole progress with no one notices. The battle has end and now the tiny demon goes back to report to Berlock.
To be continue...
Chapter 13 - Rex's Determination
"Hahahahaha!!! I have waited this moment for 16 years. Now, with the full power awaken, Rex cant summon the King of the Sky anymore. Victory is mine!!! Hahahaha!!!" Berlock luaghes and says evilly after hearing the report from the tiny demon. Berlock stands up and says to the thousands of demon in front of him, "We are going to attack Shangrila right now!!!" The demons all shout in excite after listening to what Berlock has said.
At the headquarter.
"We are losing a small number of our troops thanks to the seven guardians' help. If not, I am afraid we are going to be completely annihilated. And thanks to the demon general, our Rex here is able to fully control his darkness power." Shen, with his wounded hand, reported the condition of the battle to everyone in the meeting room where the seven guardians and the higher up are.
"I thank you for your compliment in the former part, but the later part might not be good news for us." Yiury speaks to everyone, then he continues, "To summon the King of the Sky, we need a vessel, a live body that is pure enough. Now that Rex devil power has 100% awaken, there is no way Rex's body can be a vessel for the King."
"But we can still find someone to become the vessel, like what Ash did 16 years ago." Albert says. "I am afraid that won't work. Only someome that is blood related to Rex can be the vessel of the King, but the only one that is blood related to Rex, his dad, has passed away." Yiury replies. Rex is still sad when he hears Yiury mentions about his dad, but he knows that now it is not the time for that, he has to be strong, for the human sake.
"I see, then we have to come out with some stratergy. The demon might attack us anytime now. But before that, lets have a little rest first, you are all torn up in the battle. I bet you don't want to get yourself kill in the next attack, don't you? Hahaha.." Albert says calmly even in this critical condition. He still can joke and smile like always.
"I think we have no time to rest, the demon has begin the attack." Says Max, the magician, as he senses there is a mossive amount of demon aura that passes through the barrier that he has set in Shangrila. "Lets go, Rex. Lets show them what we got." Says Clank, the swordsman.
"But, I cant summon the King anymore, and now, we all in this condition, I am afraid we are going to......" Rex didn't finishes his sentence. He just slow down his voice as he speaks. A hand put on Rex's shoulder softly. It is Zesh, the healer's, hand, that has finished regenerated. "Don't worry master, you still have us, we will protect you and this city even if it means death to us. We will always back you up. Furthermore, you have finally able to fully control the devil power within you. That power almost kill us all, you know...Hahaha..." Zesh speaks to Rex and tells joke at the end of his sentence to make Rex feels not so stressful.
However, Rex didn't feels like that is a joke for him. He still feels bad for cutting off Zesh's hand. He made up his mind and tells the guardians, "Seven guardians of the Sky, will you all do as I says?" "Yes!" All the guardians says at once. "As your master, I now command you all to fight against the demon along the army side, you all are going to assist the army as best as you all can." Rex's says in a very determine tone. "But......" Zesh says. "Are you going to disobey my order?" Rex interrupts Zesh.
Shen looks at Rex's eyes.It is an eye that he had never saw in Rex. He knows that Rex is determined. Shen speaks to the guardians, "Let us just trust Rex, k? I know that he can do it." "Even if you say so......" Zesh says. "Shen is right, in this condition right now, our army is powerless against the demons. We need the help from you all. Please, lend us your power." Again, Zesh is interrupted, by Albert.
Zesh knows that it is the best decision they can have now. Though unwillingly, Zesh says, "Master, we will be waiting for you. Please come back." "I will. This is my promise to you all and I am ganna keep it!" Rex says.
Rex's closes his eyes. Calm himself down. He is sensing the location of Berlock. "There you are." Rex says when he senses the location. A pair of black wings then grow out from Rex's back and then he flies to the location of Berlock as fast as he can. The seven guardians see Rex flying away and they saw the shadow of Elie coming out from Rex. They know that Rex has inherited Elie's determination and they know that he is going to make it. Their worries now begin to fade away.
"There is a secret underground room under this headquarter. It can accommodate all the citizen. Right now, we have to make sure all the citizen is safely evacuated to the underground room." Albert tells the seven guardians and Shen.
"Zesh, you have just recovered, so you are going to help with the evacuation." Yiury speaks to Zesh. "I understand..." Zesh replies. "Shen, you help Zesh too, leave the fighting to us." Yiury then speaks to Shen. "I think that will be the best for now. Ok then, I will assist Zesh." Shen replies. "Now, lets move." Albert says and then all of them spread out to carry out their respective mission.
While flying towards Berlock, Rex thinks, "I cant let the guardian to come along with me, I know that it will be dangerous for them as 16 years ago they were defeated easily by Berlock. This time I cant let them take the risk. I am not going to lose anyone anymore. I will face Berlock alone. I will take him down alone. This is the sole reason of my existance. And now, the destine day has come, either he dies, or me."
To be continue...
Chapter 14 - The Final Showdown
Minutes later, Rex arrives at where Berlock is, a canyon far away from Shangrila. Rex land himself on a highland and observes the situation from there. This is the second time Rex has met Berlock, but he cant recall anything when he first saw Berlock as he was still a baby back then. Berlock is a huge demon with his body cover with heavy red and black hard shell, 3 times larger than Rex. Rex can feels that Berlock is different from the other demons. He can senses that the aura emitted by Berlock is totally different from Lukas, it is way more powerful than that. In a second, Rex doubt that he can win against Berlock, but he knows that if he didn't, no one else does. In front of Berlock, there is an army of demons, thousands of them. To get to Berlock, Rex must get through the army first.
Rex takes a deep breath and ready to go down to where the demon army are. Before he is able to do so, an energy blast strikes at Rex. However, Rex is able to dodge the attacks even though he is unprepared of the ambush. In a split second, he feels that there is an evil aura at his back. He turns his head to look at it and he sees a fist of the size of his whole body striking at him. He is unable to dodge this time. He takes the hit and he is blew towards the demon army and hit on the ground hard where the demon army is. The demon army around Rex is dead due to the explosioncauses by the impact between Rex and the ground.
The demon army all stop their pace and guard themself. They are wondering what has happened. As the dust from the explosion slowly gone, they saw Rex lying on the ground with an injured right arm. The demon army sees Rex as an enermy and begins to attack him.
"Don't ever anyone of you dare to touch him!!! He is my opponent, I will crush him myself!!! You all proceed to attack Shangrila!!!" Berlock says at the highland where Rex was just now with a loud voice that the whole army can hear.
The demon army all stop their attacks and continues their way to Shangrila. When the army has gone away from Rex, Rex stands up with his right hand bleeding. "This is bad, I was so careless to let his take the first attack. Despite of his size, he is fast, and powerful too. With my arm injured, the probability for me to win this war is almost zero." Rex thinks.
"Impressive, after taking that full strength blow from me, you are still able to stand up, you should thank me for my blood inside your body. Hahahahaha!!! " Berlock says arrogantly.
"Yea, I really should thank you for that because this power is gonna bring death to you!!!" Rex says and then he charges towards Berlock. He is attacking Berlock with his hand and his legs as well.
"Bring death to me? Ridiculous!!! In this world, the only one who has the slightest chance of defeating me is the King of the Sky himself. Now that you cant summon him anymore, there is no way in the hell you can beat me!! Hahahahaha!!!" Berlock says while he enjoys avoiding the attacks from Rex. Every single attacks from Rex is perfectly dodged by Berlock.
"Is that the best you got?" Berlock says. Berlock stops avoiding Rex's attack.He holds Rex's left hand tight when Rex's is attacking him with his left hand. Rex didn't give up just yet, he attacks Berlock with his leg but is then blocked by Berlock using his leg as well. Rex then grows out three tails from his back and strike at Berlock fierecely. However, Berlock didn't feel a thing as his body is defenesed by the hard shell. Rex is shocked as he feels the hardness of Berlock's shell when he attacks him with his tails. There is nothing he can do now.
"What's the matter? You look surprise. Hahahhahaha!!!" Berlock says as he looks at Rex's surprise face. Berlock then blow away Rex with his fist. Before Rex hits anything, Berlock move himself instantly to Rex's back and then kick him up to the sky. Berlock repeats this attacks for several times and Rex is being kicked so high that he cant even see the land. When it is high enough, Berlock flies to a higher place above Rex. He then form two fist with his hands. When Rex is blew near to him, he hammers Rex with his both fist as hard as he can.
Rex is hit to the ground from a place so high in just a second. The landscape around Rex is fully destroyed by the explosion caused by the impact of Rex and the ground.
"I am going to die... I have falied... Everyone, I am so sorry..." Rex thinks in his mind with his body unconcoiusly lying on the ground. "Rex, you are not going to die, there is still hope as long as you believe." Elie speaks to Rex in his mind. "But, without the King of the Sky, I cant beat Berlock." Rex says. "Why don't you try to summon it?" Elies says. "Impossible, now that my whole body is evil, all has consumed by the darkness power, there is no way I can be the vessel for the King..." Rex replies. "Not all, Rex. You still have a pure heart. The purest heart that no one ever has. You always think of the others rather of yourself first. You are willing to sacrifice yourself for your frineds, for the people you love. Rex, this is more than enough to summon the King." Elie tells Rex.
Berlock land himself on the ground far away from the eplosion. As the dust slowly fade away, Berlock is shocked to see what is in front of his very own eyes. "No... It is imppossible... there is no way in hell he can... No... No way... Impossible!!!" Berlock says surprisingly.
To be continue...
Chapter 15 - The Fallen Angel
The dust slowly fade away. A pair of wings with the white colour on the left and the black colour on the right is seen. Rex slowly walks out from the fading dust. He is wearing a suit of black armor and his hand is holding a black sword with some letter of unknown language written on it.
"Is that the King? He looks different from 16 years ago." Berlock thinks. "Who the hell are you?" Berlock asks Rex. "Me? I am nor the King neither the demon, I called this form the "Fallen Angel"." Rex says. "Fallen Angel? Hahaha!!! You are just equipped yourself with an armor and a sword. It makes no different for me. I am still going to kill you...hahaha!!!" Berlock says.
Rex didn't says a word. He then disappears from Berlock sight. "What?! Where did he go?" Berlock is surprised seeing that Rex suddenly disappear in front of him. "Where are you looking at?" Rex says as he suddenly reappear at Berlock's back and then kicks his head to the ground.
"ARGH!!!!!!" Berlock shouts painfully after kicked by Rex. Berlock is very angry with that. He then stands up and attacks Rex. Before he can reach Rex, another kick land on Berlock's stomach and he is being blew away to a mountain. The mountain is destroyed as Berlock hits it. Berlock is burried under the mountain that is crashed into pieces. Berlock then climb out from the pieces and says, "What are you?! Where did you gain that strenght from?!"
"This power? This is the power of the King that you fear the most. I has successfully summon the King." Rex says. "The King?! Impossible!!! You are unable to summon it anymore. Your body has not even a slightest pure part." Berlock says angrily. "It is true that my physical body has no slightest pure part left, but you forget to look what is inside my body. It is my heart, my feeling, my thought, my will. It is pure enough to summon the King and it is something that you demon will never understand." Rex explains to Berlock.
"Hahahahaha... Even so, the King is still evenly match with me. The seven guardians are not here to help you, you cant just beat me with the power of the King alone. Hahahahaha!!!" Berlock says with a bit relief. "Sorry to disappoint you, this power is not solely the King's power. Have you forget that I have master the darkness power completely? This is the combination of the King's power and your darkness power, I really have to thank you for that. Now, I will end your life and bring peace to the world with this new power." Rex counters back Berlock's words.
Berlock is really angry after listening to what Rex said. He cant accept the fact that Rex has successfully summon the King of the Sky. "I WILL CRUSH YOU WITH MY FULL POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Berlock says really angrily. Berlock's aura is becoming more intense. His body is getting bigger and muscular. The hard shell that covers his body is broken.
"It feels so good. Hahahahaha... This is the first time I unleash my full strength... Hahaha... Prepare to die now!!!" Berloack says and then he disappears.
Rex is calm. He then senses something coming from his right. It is Berlock's kick. Rex block the kick with his left hand. Then Berlock's punches Rex at his face on the left but is then blocked by Rex as well. Rex then kicks Berlock with his leg and is blocked by Berlock. Both of them continue to attack each other and block each other's attack for hundrends of attempt.
Rex decides to change his attacks by using his sword. He strikes at Berlock left shoulder but the sword cant cut through Berlock's body. Berlock stops attacking Rex when Rex cut him. He then tells Rex, "If you think my shell is the hardest part of my body then you are wrong, it is my skin.Hahaha!!!! The shell is just to seal my overload power within my body. Hahahahaha!!!"
Rex didn't listen to what Berlock says. "Argh!!!!!!" Rex shouts and he put all his strength on his swords. The sword begins to cut through Berlock's shoulder and finally, with more strength, Rex has cut off Berlock's hand from his body.
"He... He... He cut through me?!!! Impossible!!! Argh!!!" Berlock shouts in fear. At this moment, Berlock has clearly known that he cant win against Rex and he is going to be killed by Rex. He knows that he must run away from Rex so that he can survive.
Berlock picks up some sand on the ground and throws at Rex. And then he is ready to run back to his nest with all his might. Before he can do so, Rex's sword is putting in front of Berlock's neck and Rex is standing on Berlock's right shoulder. "Any last words?" Rex tells Berlock. "Please don't kill me......" Berlock says.
"No can do." Rex says and then he cut off Berlock's head from his body.
"I did it, guys. I have killed Berlock. Hahahahaha" Rex speaks to himself happily as he manages to kill Berlock. "Now, lets head back to help the other." Rex says and then fly back to Shangrila.
With Rex's help, all the demons are defeated. The city is regaining its peace.
Years later, Rex has get marry and has two children, one boy and one girl. The seven guardian of the Sky is then becoming the protector of the seven land that surround Shangrila and the King of the Sky has become a legend. Since then, no one ever see any demon anymore.
The End.
