Intergalactic conquest with an AI-Chapter 303 Besieged. {4}

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 novelbuddy

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.

Rex let out a long, exasperated sigh while pinching the bridge of his nose. "Sigh… now what? If something ugly and scary comes out of there, I'm going to kill you in the ugliest way possible."

As if on cue, the containers burst open, and two towering void creatures emerged. Their forms were grotesque, like a swirling mass of darkness with jagged edges, their eyes glowing with malevolent energy.

They roared, the sound so powerful it shook the ground, and began to charge toward Rex, obliterating everything in their path from pirates, Aegis units, and even the terrain itself was torn apart as they moved.

Rex watched them approach while his expression was one of mild annoyance. "Sigh, why does everyone think the uglier the creature, the more powerful it is?" he muttered under his breath.

With a calm, deliberate step, Rex began to walk toward the void creatures. As he moved, his body began to change. His form grew larger, more imposing, until he stood at an imposing three meters tall.

Behind him, the golden halo of the Kaelzar Emperor materialized, its radiant light cutting through the darkness like a beacon of divine power.

The void creatures charged, their roars deafening, their claws slashing through the air as they closed the distance. But Rex didn't flinch. He raised his sword, the blade gleaming with an otherworldly light. Just as the first creature was within striking range, Rex swung.

The sword transformed mid-swing, growing into a massive, radiant blade that cleaved through the first void creature with ease. The force of the strike didn't stop there; it carried through, slicing the second creature in half as well.

The two monstrosities let out one final, ear-piercing screech before disintegrating into nothingness, their forms dissolving into shadows that were quickly swallowed by the light of Rex's halo.

The battlefield fell silent, the only sound being the faint hum of Rex's golden halo as it slowly faded. He stood tall, his sword resting on his shoulder, his expression one of bored indifference. "Pathetic," he muttered while turning his gaze toward the fleeing pirate boss. "You're next."

Rex's wings materialized in a flash of golden light, their massive span casting an imposing shadow over the battlefield. With a single, powerful flap, he surged upward, landing atop the frigate where the pirate boss had taken refuge.

The pirate's eyes widened in shock as Rex's piercing gaze locked onto him.

"What are you all waiting for!? Shoot him down!" The pirate boss shouted out while his voice trembled with a mix of rage and fear.

"Y-yes, boss!" The pirates, using the frigate's defensive turrets, scrambled into action, aiming them toward Rex.

A barrage of bullets and energy blasts erupted, filling the air with a deafening roar. But Rex stood unfazed while his energy shield shimmered like a golden dome around him, effortlessly deflecting every shot.

"Is everything ready, Mini Cleo?" Rex asked calmly, his voice cutting through the chaos.

In a burst of light, Mini Cleo materialized on his shoulder, her tiny form glowing with energy. "Everything is ready, boss!" she chirped while mimicking the pirates gruff tone with an adorable twist.

Rex chuckled, his stern expression softening for a moment. "Haha, don't try to copy how those guys speak. You're way too cute to sound like them. Well then, let's destroy this ship, shall we?"

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."
