Chapter 120 - Incompetent

"...", Rex wasn't given any opportunity to say anything.

Kisara kept speaking her words without even listening to what Rex had to say.

"Sigh...", Rex sighed and then looked towards Soria.

" Restore...", he just said this one word.

Suddenly 5 green coloured large magic circles formed out of nowhere.

The females that were standing there were shocked to see the sudden radiance.

That was the same for Kisara too. She was also shocked when she saw that.

"Wh-what's happening?", she confused at the same time as she wasn't aware of the happening.

Rex's Divine Eyes which he had used could see the soul entering back to her body clearly.

'Deactivate divine eyes...', he said in his mind immediately after which his eyes stopped shining.

He kept casting the magic for a moment and now that the evil energy surrounding the forest had gone, he was able to utilise the large gush of mana that filled the empty space.

The magic continued for a while after which Rex withdrew his left hand which he had posed forward.

The brilliant radiance has subsided for now and everything was calm for a while.

All of them were keenly observing Soria on whom the strange magic was used.

There was no sign of any change so for a second they thought that whatever Rex did was futile and just as they were going to ask themselves about this, they heard a coughing sound.

*cough cough*

Their eyes widened suddenly when they saw that. They could hardly even believe at what had happened.

"This... this is impossible...", even Kisara was shocked when she saw that.

'Cough it be...'

"Could it be that you used Grand Tier Restoration magic?", she looked towards Rex and asked that.

Magic in this world was divided into many tiers. Their orders with respect to increasing power was from Tier 1 to Tier 10.

A human could only cast a maximum of 3 Tier magic but there was an instance when some could cast 4th Tier magic.

In the entire history it was only Chronos who was able to cast a 10 Tier magic and had literally shocked the world.

In other words, if he weren't a hero, they would call him the Legendary Mage!

But that was not the only thing which Rex had done. He had shown magic which were far more complex than any 10th Tier magics.

He named them as Supreme Tier and Grand Tier magic!

Grand Tier magic was a bit stronger than Supreme Tier magic and thus casting it was almost impossible.

Supreme Tier magic was a bit easier than the Grand Tier and it could be casted a bit easily.

The spell Teleportation was actually a Supreme Tier magic, but after experimenting and observing many factors, Rex had concluded that the tiers can be adjusted!

He could just release one fire ball calling it Tier one magic, and could release 10 fire balls calling it Tier 2 magic. That was the only difference.

So when he readjusted the power of Teleportation and its efficiency, he concluded that it could be used as a 5th tier spell at most.

Though there was a bit of ambiguity, he saw the result of the research. Even the ones whom he taught could use the Teleportation spell easily!

However skills like Time Reversal or Tile travel, also the skill like Immoratality were all Grand Tier Level.

The chances of their success even after chanting was less than 0.01% and this they were considered to be legendary.

After Rex disappeared when he was Chronos, a lot of ambiguity was created due to which the Supreme Tier and Grand Tier were intermixed with each other.

Also a new Tier was created by themselves which they called Legendary Tier or legendary magic as it couldn't be casted by anyone!

"Well... it's...", Rex wanted to explain that it was a Supreme Tier spell and after reducing its power it had become Tier 3 spell, but no matter what he would say they would end up getting shocked or surprised so he decided to stay mum.

But all of them were looking at him with sparkly eyes as if they were expecting an answer but Rex turned a blind eye to them.

"Ahem, listen, you might have misunderstood her...", Rex pointed his finger towards Soria as he said that.

"Misunderstood?", they were confused now.

"Yes...", Rex nodded his head.

"What did we misunderstood about her master?", Kisara asked.

It seemed like they too started to call Rex as Master after hearing Zor and Bandis call him that.

Rex too didn't feel it to be weird because he was already habituated to being called that.

He would have been rather shocked if he was called something else by them.

"Actually, she didn't have an impure intention towards you or the people...", Rex had understood that they seemed to avoid her for some reason.

After observing their expressions and reactions, they knew that she might have betrayed them, but that wasn't true in reality!

"How can you sua that Master? We had been with her and we had seen what she did...", Kisara was Stubborn.

"She literally stabbed me and on top of that she...", Kisara started to tell everything one by one to Rex and he listened to them patiently.

He had already healed Kisara while she was speaking so there was no need to worry that she would run out of blood by constantly bleeding.

He then slowly walked towards her and asked, "Now will you care to hear me out?"

She flinched for a moment and then just nodded her head after pausing herself from speaking anything further.

"Okay, so the thing is, her mind was being controlled...", Rex said.

"Eh!?", all of them were shocked when they heard this.

"Controlled!? Mind control!?", Kisara could hardly even believe that.

"Yes, and now she might be alright... after all the one who had controlled her mind died..."

Rex was referring to the undead skeleton Mage whom he killed just a while ago.

"Ah... then she was...", Kisara was shocked to hear that.

She constantly glanced towards Soria and then looked towards Rex. She couldn't possibly tell that Rex was lying but at the same time she didn't know what to believe.

Just a whole ago she saw Soria in a completely different mode and that was why she was too shocked.

And now when she talked bad about her cane to know the truth, she couldn't think straight.

"Sigh, she will wake up anytime soon, let's go.", he said and lifted Soria in his arms.

Kisara immediately said, "I... I will carry her!"

Rex didn't want to do such thing right now as he was going to just teleport to their village since he had already seen the place earlier.

But now that he looked at Kisara, he thought it was best to hand her to Kisara and thus did it.

"Alright..."

Kisara held Soria in her arms and constantly watched her. Then she started walking and Rex followed her.

Others too followed the same path while Bandis stayed back.

It was because Rex had told something to him using telepathy.

'Bandis, take care of him... be careful, he is quite strong... even if you need to transform, do it without hesitation', that was what he had said earlier.

Bandis has his head lowered and was watching at the ground for a while then all of a sudden he vanished.

Now all the women were back at the village which was almost destroyed because of the skeletons atta k. Though some parts were alright, the scene was quite unbearable.

Some women had already died there and others were killed by the undead Mage.

Rex had teleported those skeletons back to the village and had placed them in a row on by one.

That was what made all the women cry. They couldn't even fathom what they were seeing.

They did save 2-3 of them, but all the remaining members died. Those who were sisters or mothers cried at the loss of their own family.

Rex couldn't look at them in such a state. His eyes also got teary after looking at them weep.

Kisara then walked towards one of the houses that was fine and placed Soria on the bed. She then immediately dragged her sword and was about to stab herself when someone grabbed her hand.

"Eh?", she was shocked and turned back almost instantly only to find Rex standing and gazing at her furiously.

"M-master...", she flinched on seeing his fierce gazes.

"What do you think you were doing!?", Rex asked.

His anger was already at peak and it could burst anytime soon.

"I...", she couldn't look into his eyes both because of fear and shame.

"Tell me! Why were you trying to kill yourself!?", he asked with a dominating tone.

"It's... it's because of my incompetency!", she said.

"Huh?", Rex waited patiently and now started to hear her keenly.

"I'm not a good leader, I cannot do anything for them..."

"..."

"Because of me many died and many more would end up dying..."

"...", Rex stayed mum the entire time.

Tears kept flowing down her eyes and her voice trembled as she said, "If you hadn't arrived today, then without a doubt we all would be dead by now..."

She was on her knees on the floor and was crying just like a baby.

Rex could barely watch her in this state. He was not fond of seeing girls cry as he would always feel the sensation of Julia in them.

That was why he extended his left arm towards her and then patted her head.

"Don't worry... you are not to blame...", he said.

She was shocked when she felt his hand in her head but then again she thought that he was only trying to cheer her up.

"But I..."

"I said right, don't worry... I'll take upon your sins... just cry as much you want and empty your heart...", after saying this he left the room.

"...."

"Master..."

"...."
