Seeing the Haltijas stops makes Rex think, he's thinking of what will he do if they decided to remain in the city and retreat along with the horde.

If that happens that capturing Calidora will be quite a hassle,

Thankfully, the Haltijas somehow wanted to push forward alone.

Rex didn't know if its the confidence they had in protecting Calidora or they are more afraid of the human's guilds attack.

Either way, this is the best possible outcome for Rex.

The three of them immediately follow suit just behind the Haltijas, Rex and his team keep a good distance between them.

"We'll wait for them to be far enough from the city, It will be dangerous if they somehow can contact the horde", Devan said cautiously.

Rex and Liliya nodded their heads,

The Haltijas went towards the swamp, this direction makes Rex frowns, 'Why are they going this way? Aren't they supposed to go south?'

The Haltijas movement is fast,

Rex is paying close attention to them while also trying to keep up, their speed is pretty fast for him.

The Haltijas always on Rex's vision, even though the dense swamp Rex still locked his gaze on them.

But suddenly,

After making a sharp right, the four Haltijas suddenly reduced to three.

Noticing this, Rex felt something is wrong.

"I think they noticed us!", Rex said as he stops abruptly stomping the watery ground.

Splash!

Liliya and Devan also stops, they should've been the ones to strike first but this situation is not what they expected.

They are standing on some kind of big tree roots, they are surrounded by rivers.

Rex looks at the front and saw the three Haltijas is getting further away, "We can't get caught up with this, let's resume!"

Just as Rex said that,

SPLASH!!

Suddenly, the blue Haltija burst out of the water.

Its body is covered with water turning it into a spiral of jet, the water is imbued with water mana making it sharp and fierce.

SWOOSH!!

The blue Haltija shot its body aiming at Rex, it can feel Rex is the weakest among them.

Although the blue Haltija caught them by surprise, Rex's reflex is faster.

He immediately activates his skill, white energy gathered on his hand. The white hue has a hint of silvery color into it, it envelops Rex's claw as he slashes the blue Haltija head-on.

"Force Beam!"

BOOM!!

Rex's claw and the blue Haltija collided,

The shockwaves sent devastating ripples to the murky water, it exploded the water around both of them making a huge tsunami flattening the surrounding trees.

"What?!", Devan was shocked, he was caught in surprise as he got washed away by the water.

Liliya on the other side already jumped out of the way, she's looking towards Calidora that is getting further away.

She then turned blurry before she suddenly appeared beside the blue Haltija, she grabs the blue Haltija's arm leaving a different red mark on it.

The red mark is circle-shaped with a chain wrapping around it, the red mark is glowing with bright red energy.

The blue Haltija kicks Rex away, they got separated from each other.

It then went into the water again disappearing inside the murky water, Rex was looking left and right.

His eyes can't seem to find the blue Haltija through the murky water,

"Rex! Ignore him, he's just there to buy time! I already mark him, follow my lead", Liliya said before she dashes towards Calidora.

She puts a red mark on Rex's body before the same notification appeared,

Rex and Devan follow just behind Liliya, it is quite hazardous for Rex to keep up but with the red mark, he manages to not get left behind.

Their legs are moving so fast that it turns into a blur,

Liliya's eyes were glued to the running Haltijas while Rex is focusing on the blue Haltija around them, "Rex! Don't lose them", she said pointing towards Calidora.

Suddenly, "Everyone jump!"

Hearing this, Rex and Devan listen to Liliya and jumped in a union.

Just after the jump, the blue Haltija suddenly shot out from the water and slashes towards them but it soon shocked.

It completely misses, Rex and the others suddenly jumped. They are already high on the air.

The blue Haltija then went back towards the murky water, It continues to attack Rex's team from the water but all of them misses thanks to Liliya.

Liliya seems to predict every movement it made, she doesn't even glance towards the blue Haltija.

The blue Haltija started to get frustrated, Rex's team already catching up with Calidora and it will not be long before they can intercept her.

It looks at Liliya with bloodshot eyes,

The blue Haltija dives into the bottom of the river, its eyes turn blue before suddenly the water mana around it got sucked into it.

Its eyes turn glowing blue, "Water Goddess Lilia, heed my call. Great Magic! Water Smite!"

Meanwhile, On the surface.

Liliya, Devan and Rex were running with all their might by jumping from roots to roots.

They totally ignore the blue Haltija thanks to Liliya, but suddenly they all felt something from inside the river.

Rex glanced to the water for a brief moment before suddenly, "WATCH OUT!!", he shouted but it is too late.

BOOM!!

The water mana turns into a murky trident, it then blasted out of the water hitting Devan right on his force field.

BANG!

Devan got sent flying away because of the trident,

The trident destroys the force field around Devan, it didn't stop sending Devan into the water before pinning him down on the bottom of it.

"DEVAN!", Liliya shouted in panic.

'Our first mission shouldn't be like this! I need at least a flawless mission to get his attention', Liliya thought with a pale face.

Rex noticed that Devan is pinned down there, 'I got no choice', he thought.

"Pure Brace of Moonlight!"

SWOOSH!!

The abundant moonlight around the place got sucked into Rex enhancing his body greatly, his body becomes more muscular as his eyes glow a blue hue.

After the system gives out the notification,

Rex jumped into the lake swimming towards the trident, he felt uneasy because he's fighting inside someone else's element.

He got in front of Devan who is struggling to break free with a glowing blue trident pinning him down but suddenly,

BAM!

Something hit him from the back making him spins a couple of times,

Rex looks around the dark water but found nothing, his night vision ability is rendered weaker because of the water.

He squinted his eyes and saw something moving under the water, 'That blue Haltija is so annoying'

Rex saw the blue Haltija, its spine, legs, and hands are covered with fins and it is moving very fast under the water.

The blue Haltija's attack doesn't hurt but it is quite persistent, only the trident can do some damage the others are nothing.

BAM!!

BAM!!

BAM!!

Rex got hit multiple times by the blue Haltija, he started to get frustrated.

He then felt something approaching from his back, He glances at his back and saw the blue Haltija preparing to hit him again.

"Alpha Intimidation!", his eyes glow making the blue Haltija stunned.

<The target's stats has been decreased by 30%>

The blue Haltija was stunned mid-way,

Rex exploits this gap, he then grows his claw and sent a force beam towards it.

SWOOSH!!

Bubbles ripple out around the claw-shaped force beam, the power behind it becomes fierce adding the night boost and the red mark boost.

The force beam grew thicker because of it,

Just after the blue Haltija snapped out of its daze, he saw a white claw in front of its eyes.

BAM!!

Claw marks appeared on the blue Haltija's chest, it was blasted away by the force beam bleeding from its chest.

Seeing this, Rex immediately swam towards Devan.

Devan is already weak, he's currently out of air because it's almost two minutes since he is pinned inside the water.

Rex grabbed the trident but suddenly,

Slash!!

The trident turns into a water vortex upon getting touched by Rex, his hands are bleeding because of it.

He then gritted his teeth, 'I can manage the pain', Rex thought before he grabbed the trident again,

The trident went violent because of Rex's touch, it slashed Rex violently but this time Rex held on.

He musters all of his strength and pulls the trident out,

Devan looks at Rex who is doing all of his might, he then also joins and helps Rex pulls it out using his telekinesis power.

"RAARGH!!", Rex shouted creating bubbles as he pulls the trident.

The trident that stubbornly stuck to the ground before started to move, with another pull it got pulled out before turning back into the water again.

Rex helped Devan up,

He saw the blue Haltija already got back on its daze,

The blue Haltija stares at Rex fiercely but suddenly, Rex saw big two yellow dots behind the blue Haltija.

The blue Haltija felt it too, it looks to its back.

What greet it on its back makes its face pale in horror, it wanted to run but the creature doesn't let it.

CRUNCH!!!

The creature bites the upper body of the blue Haltija off, it was a gory scene that sent a shiver on Rex and Devan's spine.

The blue Haltija didn't get any chance to scream before it dies miserably.

Rex jolted out of his fear, he then grabbed Devan and swam to the surface like a madman, 'What the fuck is that thing? That's not a Supernatural, that's a monster!'

He then burst out of the water accompanied by Devan,

He looks at the murky water cautiously, he turns paranoid expecting the creature to come out in any second.

Rex glance around the place cautiously but he noticed that he didn't find Liliya anywhere,

*Cough!* *Cough!*, "What the heck is that thing?", Devan asks with a pale face.

"I don't know, we need to get out of this water. I really don't want to be eaten by that thing", Rex said as he finds a tree to climb on.

Devan immediately follows him lest he becomes the creature's next meal.

After climbing the tree, Rex said, "That creature, I never felt an aura like it. I don't know what it is but it is definitely not a Supernatural"

"Then it must be a Cursed Creature...", Devan said with fear etched on his face.

Cursed Creature is something even Supernatural and Humans tend to avoid, the reason is that they are hard to kill. Many of the Cursed Creatures can't be killed using magic or sword, this makes them avoided like a parasite.

Rex nodded his head with a frown.

Sniff, Sniff!

Rex smells Liliya's scent not far from them, he remembers her smell clearly because of the incident before.

"Liliya is probably chasing after the Haltijas, we need to catch up to her but...", Rex said before he looks at the river below him.

Sweats started to appear on his forehead as he continues, "How can we get out of here", they are on a tree that is separated from the other trees.

They are literally trapped in a tree surrounded by murky river water,

Unlike before, they can jump on roots but this time there is nothing except for murky water, 'This is troublesome', he thought dryly.
