From blurry, Rex's world turned dark as he fell inside the hole.
Surprisingly, he did not hit the ground even after the first 5 and 10 seconds passed. This hole was so much bigger than expected as Rex kept free-falling like there was no end to the depths of the hole.
As he fell, the wind blew past his face. In the darkness of the hole, Rex was able to feel the slightest sensations as he felt extremely cold at this moment.
His heart felt cold, his body felt numb, and his mind felt frozen.
Even as he fell, the blood from all the injuries that were inflicted all over his body flowed as the one from his heart flowed faster.
As more blood left his brain, the dizzier and more light-headed he felt.
Each second that passed, his life slowly drained away as his heart finally stopped working. His breathing slowly started reducing till it was no more than the whisper as a soft wind blew across a grassy plain.
At this moment, Rex could not think of anything, he could only think about his life and how unfulfilling it had been that he would die at such a young age.
A tear drop rolled down Rex's left eye.
Bzzz!
All of a sudden, as Rex fell, he disappeared.
…
On jumping into the hole, the assassins experienced the same thing as Rex as the depths of this hole were just simply outrageous.
The main difference between them and Rex was that whereas Rex fell into the hole injured and battered, they voluntarily jumped in while feeling good, healthy, and ready to hunt the young student.
Unlike what happened to Rex when he suddenly disappeared though, they finally landed on the ground after what felt like 2 minutes of free-falling.
On landing, the group of assassins was shocked to discover that they were in an underground basement. At this moment, they were in a possibly star-studded corridor that led through this huge underground basement.
The fact that they did not die on landing was a testament to the power of these elite assassins as they perched on the walls of the basement like bats.
Though the group of assassins was baffled by the presence of this underground basement, they did not give too much of a damn as they were preoccupied with locating and eliminating their target.
From the corridor, they started a sweep of this underground basement to determine the position of the lone student who could only wait for his death.
…
Bzzz!
From Rex's disappearance, it became apparent that a high-tier space teleportation skill was just used in this underground basement.
Rex reappeared in the depths of this underground basement, inside an altar.
Due to his dying state, Rex already lost complete awareness of all that was happening around him. He could only wait and hope in the fight for his life.
Rex was teleported to the depths of this underground basement where there was a square-shaped altar with 4 pillars at the 4 corners. A circle was drawn in the middle of the altar and burning candles were lit around it.
Rex was teleported here and was placed in the middle of this altar.
Once Rex was teleported here, needles emerged from the altar before poking his skin from different directions as this caused more of his blood to flow out. This time though, his blood was not wasted, the altar drank his blood.
Rex's heart already stopped working a few seconds ago, his breathing was already labored, and with more blood pouring out, he finally kicked the bucket.
Rex gave up the ghost, Rex died!
Crank! Crank!
As the altar drank the blood, draining Rex's remaining life away, cranking mechanical sounds suddenly started being made like a piece of massive machinery construct that was dormant for centuries finally came back to life.
The cranking sounds revealed the amount of rust that this machine must have accumulated through the years as more sounds of creaking gears and rolling pulleys reverberated.
The noise started softly at first, but in just a few seconds, it grew louder until it sounded like the nexus point of a plant generator.
It was at this point that a change finally happened in the altar.
With a humming mechanical sound, the altar suddenly fell apart, opening up to reveal the complicated machinery construct that was beneath.
In a jiffy, the dome-shaped machine rose as its top was now completely stained red with Rex's blood. The machine opened up further before covering and wrapping Rex completely like the cocoon of an emerging butterfly.
Once the machine covered him, complicated series of processes started.
Bzzz!
Inside the mechanical cocoon, Rex's dead body convulsed as what felt like electrical currents were repeatedly sent into his body. This continued for 2 minutes until his eyes suddenly snapped open again, his eyes were bloody red.

[Warning! Host has lost too much blood!]

[Warning System Tip: Locate and Bath in the Blood Pond!]
At this moment, Rex was still light-headed and was still between that point between life and death, he did not understand anything about what was currently going on. Despite not understanding though, he reacted.
Once the system gave the warning system tip, Rex's body reacted instinctively as he stood up and started staggering deeper into the altar hall.
In less than a minute, he staggered to the deepest parts of the hall and in here Rex saw 3 prominent things. A massive blood pool, a blood throne at the end, with a massive bloody red book resting on the throne's armrest.
Rex used all his energy to get here, on getting here, he was exhausted.
Rex was unable to hold himself any longer as the short burst of adrenaline finally came to an end, he fell face-first into the blood pool.
