“I’m sorry, but you have to wait here until we get back to the university”, Rex said while patting Delta’s head.
He’s currently at the train station,
This train station is not in Qrila City because there’s none in there, it’s the nearest train station from the city located in a level three city.
Everybody’s looking at him because of Delta,
Delta’s huge body sticks out like a sore thumb in the crowded city full of normal humans, it makes all of them move to the side in respect.
An Awakened is highly respected, an Awakened riding a mutated animal is above that.
Since the emergence of Supernatural that sparks the changes in the world, there’s no reliable and good method to tame a mutated animal.
Although there’s none, some Awakened have managed to tame a mutated animal.
But this kind of Awakened only appear one in two hundred or maybe more,
These kinds of Awakened are given a nickname by the people, they’re called Zeragon named after the first Awakened to tame a mutated animal, Zera.
Zera is the first Awakened that manage to tame a mutated animal,
She becomes the first breakthrough for humanity in using mutated animals, and she’s still living until now fighting in the frontlines against the Supernatural.
The mutated animal she tames is almost identical to a dragon,
It has metallic scales all over its body, two mighty wings that stretch far, and also it can breathe silver fire that is very toxic.
Zera got a war nickname from the people, she’s called the Platinum Rider.
The mutated animal that she rides is a rank seven mutated animal,
Although Delta is not as strong as the mutated animal Zera has, it’s still strong enough that can put her in the middle-high tier of Zeragon.
Rex didn’t give too much thought when bringing Delta,
He thought that it’s a natural thing to bring a mutated animal knowing that some students in Ochyra University have tamed a mutated animal too, but who would’ve thought that there’s an actual term for this.
Rex can only shake his head as he sees the treatment he got from the city people.
Delta growls annoyedly seeing the place she’s in,
Because of her huge frame, Delta was put on the last train car where they put farm animals such as cows, goats, sheep, and even horses.
Although the emergence of the Supernatural brings many changes,
Just like what it did to the humans, some animals didn’t mutate into a mutated animal.
These farm animals are an example of that, they didn’t mutate and almost all of them are already extinct in the wild.
That is why humans gather and protect them as a source of food.
Delta glares at the animals,
But this makes Rex hit her head lightly, “Don’t eat any of them, if you do then I will toss you out of the train”
Hearing this, Delta growls softly before she slumps her body on the corner.
She avoids Rex’s gaze crankily, and Rex can only sigh seeing her behavior, “Just wait for a bit, I’ll get you out as soon as we got back to Ratmawati City”
After saying that, Rex closes the train car.
He then senses a person approaching him that turns out to be the train driver,
“Sir, Do you want us to clear a car for you to relax?”, the train driver said nervously.
His hands are trembling, and it’s clear that it’s the first time the train driver speaks to a Zeragon like Rex or even to an Awakened.
Rex smiles before he said, “There’s no need, it will be a hassle for you and the passengers”
Hearing this, the train driver’s eyes lit up in delight, “Your seat is on car number three, and please do enjoy your travel”
After saying that, the train driver wanted to go to his station but stopped.
“It’s going to take ten hours right? To get to Ratmawati City?”, Rex asks with a concerned look.
The train driver looks back and replied, “Our train is the newest model and it will definitely arrive ten hours to Ratmawati City if there are no mishaps of course”
Rex then nodded his head before he let the train driver go,
‘System, Will I turn into my Werewolf Form during the Violet Moon?’, Rex asks.
<No, unlocking the Manual Transformation feature allows the user to transform between forms freely. In Full-Moon, the user just need to make sure the associated stats are stable to maintain the user’s human form>
Reading this, Rex sigh, ‘It should be alright if that’s the case’
He then walks to car number three before he stopped at the entrance, ‘What will happen during the Violet Moon again?’
<The user’s willpower will be tested>
After getting the answer, Rex went inside the train before he sat down on his seat.
Unknown to Rex, there’s a woman that enters train car number 10 right after he enters the train.

Meanwhile, Supernatural Territory.
SWOOSH!!
Many Werewolves are dashing through the forest,
This pack of Werewolves is emitting horrifying and chilling auras as it spread to the surrounding, they expose their aura as if they didn’t fear anything in this forest.
All of the Werewolves wears scaled gauntlets on their arms,
The gauntlets have three different colors, there’s red, blue, and yellow.
With the way the gauntlets they use glows, it can be certain that these gauntlets are imbued with multiple runes that make them at least a rank five battle equipment.
Amongst the Werewolves, there are three Werewolves leading.
It can be clearly seen that they’re an Alpha from their position and their huge frames that is way bigger than the other Werewolves.
All of the Alphas are wearing a black robe that merges with their furs,
Just by the way of the powerful mutated animals that resided in the forest acted, these Alphas are powerful, way powerful than normal Werewolves.
After traveling through the forest for a while, they met an open place.
The open place that they just arrived at is filled with the stench of blood, bones scattered in the place, and many still have flesh on them.
“A great battle occurred here, the smell of blood here is fresh”, an Alpha said.
Then another added, “Why did Ruston send us here, it’s just impossible for a Werewolf to act this way aside from the Full Moon”
“It’s just a formality for the Elves, to ease their anger”, the first Alpha replied.
While the Alphas are mumbling, the silent Alpha is scanning the surrounding with hawking eyes.
There’s a burned huge tree in front of them that is supposed to be the Great Tree of Thyssys, the young place the Elves made.
The silent Alpha then looks to the side and find the ground is scarred,
“Osric, let’s just go back and report that it’s not a Werewolf doings”, the first Alpha said.
Hearing this, the silent Werewolf glare at the first Alpha before he said softly with his baritone voice, “Search this place, find for clues of what the Elves are fighting against”
GROWL!
The first Alpha growls towards the silent Alpha, “You are not the only Alpha”
The first Alpha’s eyes are glaring towards the silent Alpha, but only got replied by a stoic stare by the silent Alpha.
After a moment, the first Alpha then scoffed, “You heard him, search the place”
SWOOSH!
The Werewolves searches the place to find clues about the battle,
All of the Elves’ corpses that they found are gathered to the center to be inspected, but many of them are already left with bones.
With the fresh blood scent and the powerful High Elves corpses.
The mutated animals in this place are enticed by these corpses, and eating these High Elves’ corpses will make them stronger.
Because of that, many of the corpses are already turned into bones.
They are already eaten by the mutated animal, and some are still eating before they sense the pack of Werewolves and run away.
“Osric! I found something!”, a Werewolf shouted from afar.
Hearing this, Osric leaped towards the Werewolf before he look at what the Werewolf found.
There’s a corpse of a normal Elf that has not been eaten, it’s completely intact and there are claw wounds on the corpse’s chest.
Looking at this, Osric frowns.
The first Alpha also arrives at the scene and saw the corpse, “Vampires also has claws, so this still doesn’t prove the perpetrator is a Werewolf”
“You’re right, but still, bring this corpse back for inspection”, Osric commanded.
But just when they’re about to move on, the other Alpha shouted, “Osric! Felix! Come here this instant and look at this”
Osric and the first Alpha, Felix, go to the scene.
There he saw a half-eaten corpse, and by the aura it emitted it must be a High Elf.
“Look at this”, the other Alpha said before he flipped the corpse.
His claws then glow with a light blue hue, he then approaches his claws to the corpse before black energy emerges to fight the light blue hue.
Looking at this, Osric and Felix widened their eyes in shock.
“This is…”, Osric gasped in shock.
Then the other Alpha also nodded his head, “This is exactly like Bertolf the Tormentor’s skill, Turns out it is a Werewolf’s doing”
“Impossible, Why would Bertolf attack the Elves?”, Felix ask with a frown.
After knowing this, Osric then finally said, “The only way we know the answer is to go ask him ourselves, let’s go back and report this”
“And you! Bring this corpse”, he added.
The pack of Werewolves then dashes away leaving the destroyed Thyssys.

Supernatural Territory,
There’s a medieval-style mansion standing beautifully inside a city,
With the normal medieval-style houses in the surrounding, this mansion is glowing more than the others because of how big it is.
Although the sun is shining on the world, this place is somehow still dark.
There is a black barrier covering tens of miles from the mansion that kept the place dark, and because of this, the Vampires can roam around without fear.
Two Vampires that are standing straight guards the entrance of the mansion,
“RAARGHH!!”
“HELPP!!”
Screams of pain can sometimes be heard coming from the mansion, but none of the Vampires around pay this any mind.
But then suddenly,
ZOONG!!
Hundreds of humans suddenly appeared in front of the mansion right after a red formation appear on the ground.
The teleported humans look around in fear,
They’re not in the Humans Territory anymore, the front of the mansion is barren with only one road leading to the entrance of the mansion made of stones.
Dead trees can be seen left and right,
The red eyes that are peeking at them from the mansion and beyond the gate make the Humans snuggle together in fear.
Amongst the humans, there’s a Vampire spotted.
He’s Issac that manage to escape from Qrila City alongside half of the humans,
Issac stands up before he harshly kicks the humans to the side to make way, “Move you filthy humans! You sour me with your smell!”, he said harshly.
After getting out of the circle of humans, Issac looks at the humans in fright.
The humans that he captured should’ve been much more than this, and somehow it got reduced to this pitiful amount, “Those wretched humans!! I will kill you!!”, he shouted angrily.
Right after he shouted, the entrance of the mansion opened.
Two Vampires walk out of the mansion, one is a man and one is a woman.
The man wears a white shirt covered with a cavalier vest while holding a wine glass, while the woman wears a victorian maroon dress that is skin tight on her waist.
These two looks perfect for each other, just like a couple should be.
Seeing the two vampires that came out, Issac kneel on the ground and said, “Mother, Father, I’m back from the mission”
“Issac! My son, I’m happy you came back alive”, the man said while walking down the stairs.
The woman also followed on the back gracefully, they both then stop in front of Issac while gazing at the trembling humans.
Looking at the humans, their eyes glow with a red haze as creepy smiles appear on their faces.
The humans look away in fear, Issac’s parents’ eyes are like needles that stab through whomever their eyes fall onto.
“I’m glad you’re back safe and sound”, Issac’s father tap on Issac’s shoulder lightly, but then his eyes glows red as he said, “But why is it only this much?”
Hearing this, Issac’s standup and said, “Powerful humans appeared, and we’re forced to retreat from the city”
But instead of hearing Issac’s answer, his father’s eyes landed on his cheek.
Issac’s father gently embrace Issac’s cheek where he saw a couple of red scales hanging, he then look at Issac right on his eyes before suddenly,
PAH!
Issac suddenly got slapped hard right on his cheek,
“Issac my dear, Did you use the Dragonman’s skill?”, his father asks softly.
But his trembling voice that was about to erupt greatly frightens Issac, “Father, I could’ve died if I don’t use it”
PAH!
Another slap landed on Issac’s face before his mother held Issac’s father’s hand.
“HOW DARE YOU!! YOU RECKLESS USELESS SON!!”, Issac’s father shouted angrily because of what Issac did.
Issac’s mother then intervenes, “Issac dear, go and report that you have finished the mission”
Hearing this, Issac immediately nodded his head and runs away.
Issac’s father is still burning with anger as he looks at Issac running away, but then Issac’s mother said, “He’s our son, and you know well how his personality is”
“I can forgive him about anything else!! But this? the King will punish him!!”, Issac’s father shouted.
This makes the both of them solemn knowing that their son, Issac, will be in trouble.
Issac’s mother finally said, “Will he be killed by the King?”
“Not if we tell the king ourselves”, Issac’s father said with a sigh.
Issac’s father then signal to the guard to tend to these humans, he takes one last hateful look to the humans before he went back to the mansion.
