There was about one hundred and fifty meters between Rex and Stelios.
But for beings as strong as them, that distance was akin to a single step—it was nothing.
Stelios blinked, and Rex was already upon him, claws flared to rend his flesh.
Clang!
A thunderous clang resounded as Stelios parried the claws raking at him.
But he was never Rex's target from the start.
Rex dashed past Stelios in a blurry motion, heading straight to April, hanging by her arms in the sky.
His anger, frustration, the battle—none of that mattered at the moment, at least not until he brought her down. Keeping her humiliated like this, Rex and the Invincible Apparition would never allow it, not until the very last breath.
A barrier stopped him.
He crashed into an invisible bubble that surrounded April, a barrier that stopped him from reaching her.
