Carlos, still inside Argos, nodded. "On it!" he said while disengaging from the pirate elites and rushing to Cleo's side. The two remaining elites tried to intercept him, but Rex's presence had shifted the balance of the battle.
With a single, sweeping motion, Rex unleashed a wave of energy that sent the elites flying, their bodies crashing into the ground with bone-jarring force.
"You're not going anywhere," Rex said with his gaze locked onto the pirate boss. "You've caused enough damage. It's time to pay for your crimes."
The pirate boss, now visibly shaken, took a step back. "You think you can take me on? I'm a Tier 4 Mid! You're nothing but a—"
Before he could finish, Rex was on him. His speed was blinding; his movements were like blurs as he closed the distance between them in an instant.
The pirate boss barely had time to raise his weapon before Rex's fist connected with his chest, the impact sending him flying across the battlefield. He crashed into the side of a ruined building, and seconds later the structure collapsed around him.
Rex didn't give him a chance to recover. He was on him again; his fists were like a relentless storm of blows that left the pirate boss no room to counterattack. The pirate's cybernetic enhancements, once a source of pride, were now useless against Rex's overwhelming strength and skill.
Meanwhile, Carlos reached Cleo, his voice filled with concern. "Are you okay?" he asked while helping her to her feet.
Cleo nodded, though her body ached with every movement. "Im still operational," she said with her voice sounding weak but determined. "Thanks to you and Rex."
Carlos grinned. "Don't mention it. Now, let's get you out of here before things get even crazier."
As Carlos helped Cleo to safety, Rex continued his assault on the pirate boss. The once-arrogant criminal was now a broken, battered mess, his cybernetic systems sparking and failing under the relentless onslaught. Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire
With a devastating punch, Rex sent the pirate boss crashing to the ground.
The pirate boss staggered to his feet with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. His face was twisted with rage while his eyes were burning with hatred as he pointed a trembling finger at Rex.
"Ha... ha... ha... you little piece of shit! Do you really think a pretty face like yours can beat me?!" He spat a glob of blood onto the ground with his voice dripping with venom. "I wasn't supposed to use this... it's too damn expensive every time I let them out... but fuck you!"
With a manic grin, he slammed a button on the device strapped to his arm. From one of the frigates hovering above the plateau, two massive metal containers detached and plummeted to the ground.
slamming into the earth with a deafening crash. The pirate boss didn't stick around to see what happened next. He turned and bolted toward the frigate while his laughter echoed across the battlefield. "Bahaha! Enjoy my little gift, you bastard!"
The containers groaned and creaked as something inside began to stir. The sounds that followed were nothing short of horrifying deep, guttural roars that sent shivers down the spines of everyone nearby.
It was as if two monstrous beings, born of pure chaos, were clawing their way out of the depths of hell.
As he spoke, the golden halo on Rex's back began to expand, its radiant light growing until it enveloped the entire pirate fleet.
The pirates stared in awe and terror as the halo's glow intensified, casting an otherworldly brilliance over the misty battlefield. Rex took a deep breath, his claymore sword gleaming as he raised it toward the pirate boss's frigate.
"Do it," Rex commanded with his voice steady and resolute.
"Understood, boss! Activating the Emperor Sword!" Mini Cleo declared while standing proudly on Rex's head and pointing her tiny finger toward the fleet.
In an instant, a colossal golden sword materialized in the sky, its blade radiating pure energy. With a thunderous crack, the sword descended, piercing through several frigates as if they were made of paper.
"HAAAAAAAA!" Rex roared, his voice echoing like a war cry. He swung his claymore, and the massive golden sword followed his movements, slicing through the pirate fleet with devastating precision. Frigates erupted into flames once their hulls split apart as the Emperor Sword carved a path of destruction.
"What kind of monster is that!? Who said they were an easy target!? Get us out of here, now!" the pirate boss screamed, his bravado crumbling as he watched the golden sword turn toward his frigate.
"Do you think everyone can just come and go after making a mess in my territory?" Rex growled, his voice dripping with menace. He extended his hand, and an energy field surged outward, slamming into the frigate and forcing it back, preventing its escape.
The pirate boss snarled, his cybernetic enhancements flaring to life. "Hmph! You think you're the only one who can pull off this trick!?" He unleashed his own energy field, pushing back against Rex's with all his might. The two forces clashed, creating a visible shockwave that rippled through the air.
Rex smirked while his eyes narrowed. "You do have some potential. But sadly, time's up."
Before the pirate boss could react, a golden light streaked through his frigate, passing through it like a ghost. For a moment, nothing happened, and the pirate boss let out a nervous laugh.
"Mmm? What? Nothing? Hahaha! So it was just a hologram!? For a second there, I thought it was real! Now that I know your trick, there's nothing you can—"
Rex snapped his fingers.
The energy left behind by the Emperor Sword ignited, triggering a chain reaction of explosions across the pirate fleet. The frigates erupted in a spectacular display of fire and light, their shattered remains raining down like meteors.
The pirate boss's frigate was no exception, its hull consumed by a blinding explosion. And as the Emperor Sword had already sliced him in half, his body disintegrated in a burst of golden energy, adding to the magnificent display of destruction.
The misty battlefield was now illuminated by the fiery aftermath, the once-menacing pirate fleet reduced to smoldering debris. Rex stood tall with his wings shimmering and his claymore resting at his side. Mini Cleo clapped her tiny hands, her voice filled with glee.
"Mission complete, boss! That was amazing!"
Rex smiled faintly while his gaze swept over the wreckage. "Let's hope they remember this the next time they think about crossing us."
