“Wh…What?”
Syn’s blade hand that is coated with dark element got stuck on Rex’s neck, no matter how hard he tries he can’t manage to slice Rex’s neck.
It feels like he’s slashing a rock using a wooden sword, it can’t slice through!
Syn’s blade hand got stopped by dark reddish smoke, he didn’t even manage to touch Rex’s skin before the red smoke stopped him.
The night moonlight suddenly shot towards Rex, the usual white moonlight turns into a red moonlight that shone every inch of Rex’s body.
The moonlight nourishes Rex’s body with immense energy, it is going into every inch or Rex’s body.
In this exact moment, Rex felt the power he never felt before.
He felt that if he has this power he can take on anything in the world, he will be unstoppable!
Rex’s eyes burst with dark reddish smoke, it brings an eminent feeling of fear.
Red marking started to appear all over Rex’s body, it is dark red in color and it is all connected to the red crescent moon mark that emerges on his forehead.
Even Syn widened his eyes in shock, his body started to tremble.
He saw the dark reddish smoke bursting from Rex’s eyes, it is swirling around Rex’s body.
Syn immediately jumped away in fear, “King…King Mark?!”
Looking at Syn who in Rex’s eyes is emitting an immense fear aura, he was confused himself.
Rex is confused as to why Syn looking at him with fear until he notices the markings all over his body, he was quite shocked by the Invincible item effect.
Taking advantage of the situation, Rex said, “You see now? In my eyes you’re nothing, now leave before I change my mind”
Without even answering, Syn turns into a shadow and left the place.
He didn’t even waste another second fearing Rex would change his mind, he left the place immediately.
Rex stands still for a moment fearing that Syn hasn’t left yet,
After sensing that Syn is gone, the markings all over Rex’s body and the dark reddish smoke disappeared.
He then felt weak as his injury pain hits him again, ‘Damn, Invincible item is great but the weakened state for using it is a problem’
<the user=”” is=”” weakened=”” due=”” to=”” using=”” invincible=”” item,=”” reduce=”” your=”” stats=”” by=”” 30%=”” for=”” two=”” days=””></the>
‘30% for two days?! That’s too much’, Rex thought, he needs all of his power for tomorrow but who would’ve thought that this happened.
Rex drop to the ground weakly, his leg injury is brutal.
Blood is still flowing out of his slashed legs, his regenerative ability works its magic but it’s still far from closing the wound.
He needs at least a couple of hours to at least stop the bleeding.
Rex leans on a concrete pot, ‘System, what is that red mark that appears during the Invincible process? What’s a King Mark?’, he asks.
</invincible>
<king mark=”” is=”” a=”” mark=”” that=”” appears=”” for=”” an=”” extremely=”” powerful=”” werewolf=”” that=”” already=”” masters=”” their=”” associated=”” full=”” moon,=”” the=”” werewolf=”” race=”” called=”” this=”” types=”” of=”” werewolves=”” as=”” king=””></king>
Reading this, Rex becomes even more curious.
‘So in my current state, I can potentially become these so-called Kings’, Rex thought, the power that courses through his body before felt really good.
In that state, he is even confident to say that he can defeat the strongest Awakened, bold words but he probably can.
He then asks, ‘System, tell me more about this King Mark’
<there are=”” twelve=”” types=”” of=”” kings=”” mark=”” associating=”” with=”” each=”” full-moon.=”” normally=”” a=”” werewolf=”” can=”” get=”” these=”” marks=”” if=”” they=”” manage=”” to=”” master=”” their=”” associated=”” full-moon,=”” they=”” then=”” will=”” become=”” kings=”” and=”” is=”” highly=”” respected=”” by=”” the=”” werewolves=”” and=”” also=”” other=”” supernatural=””></there>
Rex was in thought, he notices that King Mark before is bloody red which means he is associated with the Blood Moon.
<the user’s=”” first=”” transformation=”” is=”” during=”” the=”” blood=”” moon,=”” werewolf=”” called=”” it=”” their=”” birth=”” moon=””></the>
‘No wonder my Werewolf aura is dark red, turns out it differs according to a Werewolf birth moon just like the two Werewolves in Zrolis City’, Rex thought.
Just as he wanted to ask some more, he can already hear footsteps approaching.
There are many footsteps that caught his ear, he can also smell Adhara and Rosie amongst them.
Not long after, Adhara and Rosie run towards him hurriedly.
They are followed by dozens of students that heard the fight, there is also a lecturer amongst them wearing a white coat.
“REX?! What happened?!”, Rosie shouted in panic.
Rex is leaning on the concrete pot weakly, there is a pool of blood beside him because of his nasty injuries.
Adhara also approaches Rex and saw the injuries on Rex’s body, her hands started to tremble.
“Let’s talk about this in our room, there are too many people here”, Rex whispers to Adhara, the crowd of students already circles him with curiosity.
Some of them saw the fight Rex had in the training ground and they’re shocked to see Rex’s state.
He’s unbeatable inside the training ground, for him to reduce to such a state means that the one he fought is someone they can’t even touch.
The lecturer wearing white coats approaches them, “What happened here? Who dare attack inside the Faraday University ground”
Rex smiles weakly, he wanted to answer but got cut off by Adhara.
“Sir, let’s bring Rex to our room first”, Adhara said, she’s concerned about the nasty injuries on Rex’s legs.
The lecturer nodded his head, “Shouldn’t we bring him to the infirmary?”
Adhara glance at Rex and saw him shakes his head, she then replied, “No need, we’re from the Ochyra University and we came prepared there’s no need to worry”
Hearing this, the lecturer nodded his head in understanding.
Unknown to Rex, there’s a passerby who saw his fight against Syn from start to finish.
A couple of minutes later, Rex arrives in his room while leaning on Rosie and Adhara.
They both helped carry him because Rex can’t walk properly, the injuries on his legs are too brutal and without the adrenaline, he can’t possibly walk normally.
Rex lies on the bed as he said, “Rosie, can I ask you to buy me a healing elixir?”
Rosie nodded her head repeatedly before she bolted out of the room, she didn’t even think twice about it.
Adhara knew that Rex wanted to talk to her alone, that’s why he told Rosie that.
“What happened?”, she asks.
Rex fixed his position and said, “A Supernatural just attacked me while I’m bathing under the moonlight, it was a Shapeshifter”
Hearing Rex’s words, Adhara was utterly shocked to her core.
Out of all that could happen to Rex, she didn’t expect that a Supernatural attacked him, “Shapeshifter? In the heart of Ratmawati City? How did this happen?”
“I know it’s hard to believe but it in fact happened, I almost died fighting him”, Rex said truthfully, without the Invincible item he got from the Berserk Sudden Quest he will probably die from that encounter.
Adhara widened her eyes with mixed emotions, “But why did they target you? They’re definitely targeting you to ambush you alone”
“There’s something I need to tell you”, Rex said.
Adhara glance at Rex in question,
Rex thought that he didn’t need to inform this soon to Adhara but the condition forced him to, the Shapeshifter attack is the first and it will certainly not be the last.
“During the day I turn you, the Werewolf sense my aura. I thought that we’re safe in the heart of Ratmawati City but this night prove it wrong, that’s why I need to tell you this”, Rex explains.
Adhara’s body trembles as soon as she heard it.
Rex notices this but he didn’t blame her, knowing that the Werewolf that is the top dog of Supernatural knows of their existence is pretty scary.
He then says gently, “Are you scared?”
Adhara clenches her trembling hands, “Yes, but I’m all with you. Just don’t keep any secrets and tell me how I can help you”
Rex didn’t expect Adhara to so willingly follow him. it caught him off guard.
A smile crept on Rex’s face, “Okay, I won’t keep secrets”
“So what is your plan?”, Adhara asks, she is determined to help Rex.
Rex pause for a while before he said, “We two alone can’t fend them off, we need more members”
The sanity decrease from the system forced him to increase his pack members, he still hesitating in doing so but the condition forced him to.
“Member?”, Adhara frowns but then she continues, “Do you have any requirement in mind?”
Rex thought a moment before he said, “I don’t care of their power, I just need them to have a truthful character and also loyal”
He doesn’t care about the candidate’s power, he can help them gain power with the help of the system.
But then Rex suddenly remembers, “I almost forgot, I will turn you into a full Werewolf now. Make sure to get ready, I want you to be my right hand”
Adhara got nervous because of the enormous burden Rex gave, but then Rex continues with flashing eyes, “No, I need you to be my right hand”
Hearing this, Adhara blushes but she returns to normal rather quickly.
Then Rex suddenly remembers, “I will tell the others that I got attacked by the White Ninja from before again, make sure to keep the Supernatural thing a secret”
Adhara was confused, she doesn’t understand why Rex would do that.
“Why? Isn’t it a big deal so we have to tell the others?”, she asks.
Rex shakes his head, “That’s exactly why we need to keep it a secret, if the others know that a Supernatural got into Ratmawati City it will blow up all over Ratmawati City. If that happens, then they will tighten their security and scans the whole City and it will blow our cover”
Adhara nodded her head, it will be catastrophic if that happens.
Even imagining that Ratmawati City knows that they’re a Werewolf makes her spine went cold, they will certainly get dissected and studied.
Rex glance at Adhara’s arm and saw something poking out of her long sleeves, he was curious about it but Adhara pulled her sleeves to cover it.
Just as Rex wanted to ask, Rosie suddenly came back.
Rosie got back with a couple of rank four healing elixirs followed by Hera and Tony.
The Ochyra University representatives heard of these accidents and they’re all getting concerned, it is only natural because their leader Rex might not participate in the tournament tomorrow.
If that happens, then they will definitely get humiliated by Faraday University.
“Why is this happening now, right before the tournament”, Hera said helplessly, she’s stressing out after looking at Rex’s wounds.
Tony also frowning on the corner, from the looks of Rex’s injury it will be hard to heal him to 100% by tomorrow.
He then asks, “What happened? Don’t tell me this is Faraday University doings?”
Rex shakes his head and said, “No, I got attacked by the White Assassins that ambushed us yesterday”
Tony frowns, he glances at Hera, “I told you before that we got attacked by White Assassins”
After explaining to Tony, he then left the room after asking if Rex will be able to attend the tournament tomorrow.
Rex tells Tony that he will certainly still participate in the tournament.
After Tony left, Rosie applied the healing elixir to his injuries all over his body.
The injuries healed at a fast rate but it is unlikely to be healed by tomorrow.
Rex felt tired and wanted to rest, these two days are like hell for Rex.
Before the burnt injuries he got from Ronald healed, the Shapeshifter added more nasty injuries to him and also tear open some of them that are already healed.
Feeling the comfy bed, Rex instantly fell asleep.
~
During the middle of the night, Rex woke up suddenly after he heard a rustling.
The attack from the Shapeshifter makes his body more alert at all times, it is exhausting but it is necessary.
Cling!
Adhara is up again this night, she’s doing something.
Rex didn’t open his eyes and pretend to sleep, he doesn’t want to get caught for some reason.
Not long, the sound of the door opened and closed was heard.
Adhara left the room again which makes Rex even more curious, ‘She’s up again? Where is she going?’
