“STOP!”, a voice was heard from behind.
Rex’s body jolted when he heard this voice, he thought that it’s Marcus who caught up to him.
But when he looks at the source of the voice, turns out it is Adhara that is looking at Rex in disbelief.
“Adhara? What are you doing here? Where’s Kyran?”, Rex asks in confusion.
He remembered that he told Adhara to run and keep an eye on Kyran, but Adhara suddenly appear behind him.
Even Kyran is not on her side,
Adhara looks at Rex with a disappointed look,
She looks around the place and found many FAA members lying on the ground, their blood and limbs are scattered around.
It was a horrifying scene, and she can see it all despite the darkness.
“Why are you doing this?”, Adhara asks slowly.
Hearing this, Rex becomes even more confused, “Why? If we don’t kill them then they will kill us”
“Look at yourself! You told me that you wanted to massacre Supernaturals, but look at you now! Killing humans as if they’re Supernaturals”, Adhara shouted as tears fall down her eyes.
She’s disappointed in Rex for how easy he killed humans, it’s like he’s not human anymore.
Rex’s expression darkened,
Adhara covers her mouth in tears, she’s looking at the corpse around her, “This is wrong! We can just run away from them, Why do you have to kill them?”
This argument happened in front of Argus, he looks at both of them in surprise.
He never thought that he will be in this kind of position, ‘Are they exiled from the Supernaturals? Do they want to help humans?’
Rex stands up slowly with a darkened expression, he turns his body towards Adhara.
“Are you even on humanity’s side?”, Adhara finally said, she never condone killing humans but she kept it all in herself.
She understands that some human deserves to die, but this time they’re not.
The FAA members come here to pursuit them is because they’re in their Werewolf form, and of course Supernatural will have to be annihilated.
So what they should do instead is run, don’t fight the FAA members.
No matter how feeble or weak they are, they’re still forces of humanity that will jump gladly into a horde of Supernatural for humanity’s sake.
But now, all of them died a meaningless death.
They died fighting against those who is on humanity’s side, it completely broke Adhara’s heart.
Rex approach Adhara with steady steps,
His expression is grim as he walks towards Adhara, there’s a subtle vibration around Rex’s body as if something was about to erupt.
Adhara steps back unconsciously feeling the pressure emitted by Rex,
She steps back slowly while looking at Rex, she unconsciously gets cornered to the wall.
Rex arrives in front of Adhara with a grim look,
BAM!!
He punches the wall right beside Adhara’s head while looking at her eyes intently, “The day I almost died, I already accepted death as my fate”
“But then, a Werewolf came to mind…”
Rex gripped the cave walls as he tries to hold in his anger, “That Werewolf, the one that killed my parents in front of my eyes is still roaming until this day without worry”
“That is when I refused to die, I don’t want to die, not until I killed that Werewolf with my own hands. My parents are still restless on their graves as long as that Werewolf lives”, his voice started to tremble.
Remembering the grinning face of that Werewolf, the anger inside Rex boils.
“THAT IS WHY I WILL NOT RISK ANYTHING UNTIL I KILL THAT BASTARD!!”, Rex shouted in anger making Adhara looks down.
SWOOSH!!
Rex vanished from his spot as he appear in front of Argus and held his head, “So, What are you going to do now Adhara? Are you going to stop me?”
Looking at this, Adhara bit her lips as she turns her head away.
“That’s what I thought”, Rex said brutally before he crushed Argus’ head instantly killing him.
Adhara turns her head away as she doesn’t want to see Argus’ death, her emotion is in chaos as she doesn’t know what to do.
After Rex killed Argus, they then got back to Kyran.
The Sudden Quest the system gave was completed without even killing Marcus, it makes Rex at least feel better aside from the incident with Adhara.
Not long after they’re gone, Marcus found out about all of their group’s death.
He checks onto all of the holes and found that not a single person is spared, it makes him punch the cave wall in frustration before he went out of the cave.
Just by looking at their death, not one of them put up a single fight.
Marcus is confident in his ability, but the Werewolves killed the groups without him realizing it speaks of their power.
So it will be safe to just report back about the incident.

One week passed,
After the Yule Moon incident, Rex, Adhara, and Kyran rarely speak with each other.
Rex and Adhara mainly train in the training ground on their own, their relationship becomes awkward after the Yule Moon incident.
Kyran is also training using the breathing technique he got from Rex,
The Yule Moon sparks a bloodline evolution in Kyran’s body, and now Kyran evolved into an Azure Werewolf.
It is a kind of Werewolf that is surprisingly immune to the Yule Moon.
The system said that the Azure Werewolf is very rare amongst the Werewolf, and it’s rare not because of a reason.
While all the Werewolves take shelter during the Yule Moon,
The Azure Werewolf will roam around the Yule Moon without any complications, and they even become stronger during the Yule Moon.
For the Werewolves, these kinds of Azure Werewolf is very respected.
The system also said that Azure Werewolf is highly respected by the Werewolves, and some even considered them as the embodiment of the Origin’s blessing.
Yesterday, a crow from the SCO visit Rex at night.
It gives Rex the letter from the green messenger, the letter contains the issue of a mission for Rex and Liliya.
The mission is to get a drop of tear from a creature called Northern Black Head.
Rex thought that the mission will be easy enough but the location surprised him, it is very close to a Vampire stronghold.
So he needs to prepare,
Rex got out of the training ground with hurry steps,
It is already afternoon and Rex wanted to go to the canyon again, he wanted to level up to at least 30 before he goes onto the mission.
Aside from that,
About four days ago Rex reaches rank five, the rune on his shoulder is complete.
The black lightning becomes even easier to control, and their power almost becomes three-time more powerful than before.
Rex is currently walking back to his room,
He wanted to pack his stuff for the mission that will take at least a week to complete, he also need to bid goodbye to Kyran.
Not to Adhara though,
“Kyran, I’m going on a trip for a week or more. You watch the room for me alright, and don’t forget to keep training”, Rex said while packing his stuff.
Hearing this, Kyran frowns and said, “Can I come too? I want to test my powers”
Rex shakes his head, “We’ll go somewhere after I come back, just wait until then”
Kyran smacks his lips in displeasure be he eventually agrees, he’s not that mad at Rex because the breathing technique he got from Rex is fascinating.
He doesn’t know how, but he can feel his body getting stronger by the day.
From the Yule Moon incident, Kyran surprisingly doesn’t remember what happened that night.
He only remembers that he suddenly fell to the ground as pain overwhelms him, but aside from that, he doesn’t remember a single thing.
Not even a glimpse of becoming a Werewolf crosses his mind.
Rex and Adhara then decided to tell him later, they lied to Kyran that he suddenly fall unconscious because he’s sick.
But the doctors cured him, and everything went back to normal.
After bidding goodbye to Kyran and telling the butlers and maids, Rex went out of the room with a big bag on his back.
When he opened the door, he suddenly saw Adhara in front of the door.
Adhara widened her eyes when she saw Rex, but that surprised look turn into a curious look when she saw a big bag behind Rex.
“Are you going somewhere?”, Adhara asks meekly.
Rex glance at her briefly before he walked past her, “Yep, I’ll be back in a week or more”
Adhara wanted to say more but Rex was already far away, she clenches her hand softly before she walks inside the room.
She then slams her body on the bed,
Adhara hits the pillow a couple of times in frustration before she calmed down, she looks at the ceiling in thought, ‘So that’s how his parents died huh, wait…parents?!’
She just realized that if Rex’s parents died, then Mrs. Greene and Robert are step-parent.
‘I shouldn’t have confronted him like that’, she thought before she buried her head on the pillow.
Rex meets Ari in the lobby and told him that he will leave for a week, he also told Ari to keep a watch for Adhara and Kyran.
He didn’t want Ari to come with him because he will meet up with Liliya.
The matter regarding the SCO will need to be kept a secret, no one will know about it.
After telling Ari what to do, Rex went and meet with Edward that is already waiting for him in the parking lot.
Edward saw Rex before his face turns sour,
Seeing this, a smile appears on Rex’s face that makes Edward’s expression soured, “I believe you brought the key, Give it to me”
“Why do you have to use my car”, Edward said helplessly.
Rex takes the car keys off of Edward’s hand before he said, “Just because, you’re my best friend”, he then walks past Edward without any hint of guilt.
“Write me off of the best friend contract! I want to terminate it right now!”, Edward shouted.
But Rex only chuckles before he gets in the car and left the university,
~
Ochyra University,
A girl is also packing her stuff in the room, the bag is filled with her clothes.
From the look of it, the girl is also planning on a long trip.
If Rex was here, he will instantly recognize this girl to be Rosie who is packing her stuff with a blank expression.
Her phone suddenly rings when she’s packing her stuff.
She takes her phone and answered, “Hello?“
“Are you really asking permission to leave for a couple of days?“, the person on the other side asks, there’s a hint of skepticism in his voice.
Rosie bit her lips and said, “Yes, my friend died and she’s pretty close with me“
“It’s going to be hard to approve your permission“, the person on the other side said, he still doesn’t believe Rosie’s excuse.
Rosie then pleaded, “Please, I’m not lying sir“
The person on the other side then sigh, he then finally said, “Fine, I’ll approve it this time“
“YES! Thank you, sir, I’m going now“, Rosie said happily before she hung up the call.
After getting permission to take a leave, Rosie continues to pack her stuff.
But just when she’s about to leave, she suddenly saw a photo of Rex opening a present on her phone that makes her stop on her track.
Rosie looks at the photo with a subtle smile, “Rex…”, she said softly.
The photo is a picture that Rosie has taken quietly on Rex’s birthday, it is a photo of Rex opening a birthday gift from her.
She caress the photo slowly before a tear from her eyes, ‘I swear that I will pull you to me again, I will not stop until we went back like we used to’, she thought with determination.
Rosie then turn off her phone and left the room,
