Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman-Chapter 260 Invasion Of The Mystic Apes! [5]
"Our only job is to hold the Apes and wait for reinforcements".
"Our job is to also protect our remaining warriors".
"It's not time for our counterattack yet".
Through the communication devices that he gave to all the members that were in his organized team, Rex communicated his orders to them.
Swift Spear also received the orders.
After giving his orders, Rex turned to look at his girlfriend one last time before jumping down from the tall building where the strategy hall was built.

Rex literally activated all the basic skills that were in his repertoire.
With the Blood Flight activated, he was able to fly without turning into a half-bat which made it easier for him to dominate this battlefield.
And with the Cloak Defense passive ability of his Iron Mike Cloak triggering, his defensive duties were conveniently taken care of, giving him the freedom to fully focus his attention on dealing as much damage as possible.
Rex was glad and was why he activated so many skills at once.
Before colliding with the ground, he took control over the Blood flight as he started levitating. Almost instantly, his sword started a dance of death.
Starting with the piercing stab and ending with the Trident of Ethereal Blackfire skills, Rex annihilated 6 Apes in an instant.
Whoosh!
He flew forward as using the other skills that he just activated, he started another massacre across the formations of the angry Apes.
By mixing his combos with Advanced level and Master level skills occasionally, he turned into a terror ghost that haunted the Apes.
The Ghost of the Night shadow skill granted him even more unprecedented movement speed that made him a thorn at the Apes' sides.
With this skill, like Cassandra, he was able to effortlessly move through shadows and combining this with his flight ability formed a terrifying combo that the Apes wished they never lived to witness.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Rex massacred the Apes as he was fueled by his anger, the sights of his warriors lying cold on the floor motivated him to slaughter more.
He was not the only one fighting though, once they received his orders, Ben, Elanor, and Cassandra jumped into the battlefield as they massacred the Apes.
Only Swift Spear watched coldly from where she hid.
After a few more minutes of battle, the first warriors that turned into Minotaurs finally started turning back. As soon as Melkor turned back, on seeing that he was still alive and seeing Rex's reassuring back, he wept tears of joy.
"I'm saved!"
"We're saved!"
"We're f*cking saved!"
Not long after he turned, all the other warriors who turned into minotaurs started turning also as the effects of the minotaur pool's water started wearing off.
Once all of them turned, Melkor resumed motivating them.
"Our Gang Leader showed up like expected, he would never abandon us".
"With him around, we can finally avenge our dead comrades".
"Join me and let's show these Apes the price to pay for killing warriors of the Berserk Gang! Join me to slaughter them!"
The warriors roared as they rallied behind Melkor.
With coordination now as leaders like Rex spearheaded the attack for them, they were able to be effective again as they massacred the Apes.
The massacre continued until more horse-riding Apes appeared. Unlike the first time, 3 horse-riding Apes appeared at the same time as they rode their fiery Hell Horses into the battlefield, spreading their hellfire with impunity.
As soon as he saw the 3 Apes, Rex felt his blood burning hotter.
"Today, we dine in hell!"

Once again, without fear, Rex crashed towards the beasts.
Not with the intention to kill this time though but to stall. Having fought against one of the horse-riding Apes already, Rex was positive that they were the strongest Advanced mystic foes that he had fought against apart from his ancestor.
It required 4 of them despite their strength to kill the previous one.
He didn't know if it was because of their relationship with their Hell Horses but the horse-riding Apes were simply freaks of nature.
This time, all he aimed to achieve was preventing them from killing more of his warriors, Cassandra, Elanor, and Ben echoed his motives as they all charged from different parts of the battlefield towards the 3 Apes.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battle barely began when the familiar whooshing sounds of grapple hooks being launched reverberated, Swift Spear acted again.
"I thought you said you won't help". Ben taunted.
"Get lost!" She replied coldly.
"I am not helping, I am simply honing my skills against powerful foes".
Whoosh!
She entered the battlefield in a bombastic manner as her skills with the omnidirectional mystic device and her spear did the talking.
The 3 Apes cooperated impeccably as they held all 5 of them at bay.
Both sides just kept on inflicting nitty gritty injuries on their foes as they seemed incapable of breaking through the defense of their opponents.
Rex was content with this though, the battle continued like this with even more Apes charging into the battlefield until..., 30 minutes finally elapsed.
Honk!
The sound of the horn reverberated loudly like heaven's trumpet.
After using the fastest means available to them to transport their warriors, 100,000 mystic warriors led by Commander Aragorn arrived on this battlefield.
They arrived bombastically.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Their war trucks bombarded the Apes with canons and missiles.
Rex's eyes gleamed excitedly. "Our counterattack begins!"
