Rex looks at Kyran with a surprised look, his increase in strength is simply out of this world.
To be able to strengthen a person with a rank zero power to a peak rank three is godlike, it will be called a miracle if this information got out.
‘System, How did he get so strong?’, Rex asks.
Reading this, Rex frowns, ‘What do you mean by a different kind of Werewolf?’
The system didn’t answer, it makes Rex frustrated because he doesn’t like these kinds of surprises.
Rex then looks at Kyran who is still checking his body, “I make you stronger, that’s what I did”, Rex said nonchalantly, he then sits on a dusted sofa.
“How do you feel? Are you feeling different than before?”, He asks.
Kyran clenched his hands a couple of times,
Now that he’s calmed down, Kyran can feel the changes in his body, “I feel better, I never feel this good in my life. I can feel that I become stronger, I think I can kill an Orc with this power”
Rex smiles, ‘You will be shocked to find out how strong you get’
Seeing Kyran checking out his own body, Rex notices some changes from him.
Kyran’s already good posture becomes muscular, his muscle can be seen through his haggard clothing. His arms become hairy, and fangs appeared on his top row teeth.
To be able to have more pack members, the user needs to prove that the user can manage Silverstar Pack. Prove the user’s leadership by taking Carabidis Gem in Carabidis Temple.
Quest Reward: +3 Pack Members Limit, 20 Skill Upgrade, 10,000 Gold, 20,000,000 Exp, and Silverstar Howl Skill
Reading this, Rex widened his eyes in surprise.
‘Is this the quest from reaching the member limit? The reward is rich, I’m guessing this Carabidis Gem is very hard to get’, Rex thought.
From seeing the rewards alone, Rex knew that this quest is the hardest one he ever had.
Rex then stands up from the sofa and said, “Let’s go back, I want you to get used to this power and help me out later”
Both of them went back to the room where they found Adhara sitting with a smile.
She then raises her arm showing a pale dragon tattoo, the tattoo starts from her wrist all the way to her elbow. The dragon’s head is facing her wrists, and Rex can hear the imaginary dragon’s roar as if it was real.
“You reach rank four?”, Rex asks with a smile.
Adhara shows off her purple fire as she said, “Of course, I won’t be a burden don’t worry”
After saying that, Adhara’s eyes land on Kyran.
She can feel Kyran is no longer human, it was evident from Kyran’s changes, “Welcome to the family, I know it’s a bit painful but you manage to pass it!”
Adhara approach Kyran to congratulate him making Kyran blush.
Rex then whispers to Adhara, “Help him get used to his new power, pay attention to him to see what his new habits are. And also, he doesn’t know I turn him into a Werewolf”
He then left the room leaving Adhara and Kyran.
Rex went to Troy and asks him to show him the Warchief’s location, he wanted to see the Warchief himself.
While walking on the street, Rex saw the poor citizens again.
He’s glancing left and right before his eyes caught something, “What’s that? Why is the light still on?”
“It’s the citizen thing, they’re very religious and the pastor becomes a very important person here. The pastor said that a woman is the cause of all of this, he condemned the woman as a witch because he said he saw the woman hanging around with an Orc”, Troy said while shaking his head.
Hearing this, Rex glance back at the church and said, “Leave them be, it’s just impossible for an Orc to be friendly with a human”
Troy chuckles lightly, “Even if the Orc did decide to be friendly, no human wanted to be their friend. The woman must be blind to even hang out with an Orc”
They both then went to the top of the wall barricade, other guards on top let them through.
“That’s where we think the Warchief is, that camp is the biggest”, Troy said while pointing in a direction in front of them.
Rex glances in the direction and saw a big hut there, he can also see some Orcs there.
The hut is located in the street, it looks out of place because of the traditional hut compared to sky-high buildings around them.
Rex knit his eyes, “It’s the logical place for a Warchief, let me check it out”
“What?! You’re gonna go there alone? Are you mad?”, Troy said in shock, he saw what the Orcs can do and he didn’t believe Rex that looks young can survive even though he’s an Awakened.
He doesn’t know who Rex is, Troy is in the military so he doesn’t have the time t watch tv or read the news.
Without even answering Troy, Rex jumped from the wall and went towards the big hut.

Meanwhile,
Rosie is sitting on the rooftop in thought, she looks depressed while sipping a drink under the moonlight.
“What happened to her? Did he get dumped by Rex?”
“Probably, she’s only pretty but doesn’t have the talent nearing Rex. It’s logical for him to dump a girl that can’t keep up with his pace”
“Dude, stop acting like you’re some sort of bigshot”
“Yeah! If Rosie comes clinging to you, I bet you and your junior will accept her even though she’s talentless”
The other students talked about Rosie behind her back with a laugh.
Rosie heard their comments but she didn’t have the energy to care, “Talentless huh…Is that really the reason?”
“Or is it the fact my Ambition and his are different?”, She mumbles softly.
The moonlight shone on her as if it consoling her, the tears on her face sparkles as if it’s trying to draw the attention of the person that causes them to fall.
Rosie wipes the tears from her face but it is futile, more tears come and replace them.
She then mumbles while sobbing uncontrollably, “Rex…Why did you do this to me? All I want now is to be with you, but why are your eyes turns cold so fast”
“Don’t you feel any emotion when you see me? Are you really just helping me to keep me from revealing your identity? Is that it?”
Rosie started crying, she ignores all of the stares he got from the others.
She then looks at the moon with teary eyes, “I swear, I swear I’ll make you look at me with the same excitement as before”
“Just you wait”
“Just you wait”

Rex finally arrives near the big hut where the Warchief is located, he’s currently sneaking through the place.
He found a couple of Orcs around but they all didn’t sense Rex.
‘Why are there few Orcs here?’, Rex thought as he sneaks around, he then went to the hut in the middle where many big burly Orcs guarded.
Their features are different than the normal Orcs, aside from their bigger and muscular body, their tusks are longer and deadlier. They wear animal hide, and their weapons are imbued with a rune.
All of them are early rank four, they are stronger than regular Orcs.
Rex wanted to get inside the hut to see the Warchief but it will expose him, so he went to the back of the hut instead.
He saw a big silhouette inside the hut, Rex deduces the silhouette is the Warchief.
The hut is made of leather, it is thick and muffled the sounds inside but Rex’s super hearing can still catch what they’re saying.
“Chief, I got a report“
“What report? It better be a good one“
Rex heard their conversation but he doesn’t understand their language, he only hears them grumbling.
‘System, can you translate what they’re saying?’
<The user can learn Orc Language for 500 Gold, Do the user want to learn it?>
Reading this, Rex then immediately says yes.
He got thousands of gold right now, learning a language permanently for 500 gold doesn’t like a bad trade at all.
“Chief, the humans receive another backup. We didn’t manage to stop them, they’re strong”, an Orc said with a trembling voice.
BAM!!
The Warchief slammed something before he said, “Pathetic! Why are you cowering! It’s good if they’re strong, it will be a glorious day to save Xoruk!”
“Chief…At this rate, we can’t breach their walls. Many Orcs will die”, the Orc said meekly.
Rex saw the Warchief’s silhouette stops, the vibe suddenly becomes intense as the Warchief walks closer to the Orc.
“ARE YOU TELLING ME TO ABANDON XORUK!!”, the Warchief shouted.
The shout is full of force, the Warchief’s baritone voice makes Rex’s heart tremble, ‘From the aura alone, he’s around mid or peak rank four’, Rex thought.
“But chief, he ran away from home. Even if Xoruk is here and somehow he’s not caught by the humans, he’ll probably run away again from us”, the Orc said trying to convince the Warchief.
Hearing this, the Warchief got angrier, “I KNOW HE’S HERE! FIND HIM AND BRING HIM HOME NOW!”
“Our army is already attacking at this moment, we’ll going all out this time”, the Orc said while pointing to Wedron City’s direction.
The Warchief then answered, “If that’s the case, let’s join then”
Rex widened his eyes in shock, he immediately dashes towards Wedron City, ‘They already attack the city? I got careless, Kyran and Adhara can’t handle that much Orcs’
~
“Men! Split into four groups and defend the walls! The Orc has started attacking”, Troy shouted to the military personnel.
Hearing Troy’s command, all of them went to their spots immediately.
The guy with the black crow tattoo approach Troy and said, “I’ll go to the south wall, there are many Orcs there”
Troy nodded his head before the guy dashes away.
Not long after, Adhara and Kyran also arrives and saw much military personnel gearing up and the citizens tremble in fear.
“Where’s Rex?”, Adhara asks, she can already hear the sound of guns firing.
Troy glance at Adhara and said, “He just left to check the Warchief, we can only hope he heard the fight and came back”
“You go to the north wall”, Troy commands while pointing at Adhara.
He then points at Kyran and said, “You, go to the west wall. the Orcs attack us with all they got this night, It seems this is their last attack”
Hearing this, Adhara nodded her head.
She then looks at Kyran before she held his shoulder, “Remember if you’re in a difficult position you can always retreat, just stall time until Rex came back”
Kyran looks to the surrounding, he saw the citizens shiver in fear.
He steeled his will before he said, “I will be okay, let’s hurry and help the others”
The fight against the Orc started.

Meanwhile, Inside the church in Wedron City.
There is a blonde woman that looks breath-taking chained in front of the altar, there are many wounds around her body, and her eyes are cloudy.
Many people gather in the churches, they’re all staring daggers at the woman.
“Mary Liconstein, will you admit your sins and pray to God for forgiveness”, the pastor standing behind the altar said.
Cling!
The chain makes a clinging sound before Mary answered, “I refuse, I claim to never have an Orc accomplice”
“BLASPHEMY! You dare sin in front of God? You will be crucified for your action!”, the pastor said with immense anger.
People started throwing rocks at the woman who started to cry.
Two men approach the woman and forcefully held her and pin her on the cross, the woman struggles to break free but she can’t overpower the two men.
Both of them started hammering the nail into the woman’s hand, “RAAGHHH!!!”, the woman shouted as the nail pierced her hands.’
“WITCH!”
“YOU WITCH!! LOOK AT WHAT YOU’VE DONE!”
“MY SON DIED BECAUSE OF YOUR SIN!”
Many of the people started to call the woman a witch, their hatred for the woman can be seen clearly.
Tears fell from the woman’s eyes, she kept denying what she’s accused of.
Her hands finally got pinned to the cross, the blood dripped to the wooden cross staining the floor red.
As if the woman’s pain is not enough,
Both men then went to her legs, the woman struggles to break free her legs desperately. The pain of being crucified makes her crazy, she shouted non-stop.
“Please, please, I beg you to have mercy”, she shouted with a horse voice.
The woman’s legs got held by the two men, the sharp nail already got into position. One of the guys brings the hammer.
Without even hearing the woman’s plead, the men pinning her down glance at the pastor.
The pastor nodded his head with cold eyes, he didn’t have mercy for the woman as he started praying to God.
In the nick of the moment, the woman glances at the window beside her.
She looks at the figure outside the window as if she can see, she then mumbles, “It’s okay”
The men raised the hammer intending to pierce the woman’s leg, all of the people turn cold eyes on her when suddenly,
“NO!!!”
BAM!!
