Chapter 148 - The Gargoyle King - Part 1

Bandis too stayed quiet and the mood was completely ruined because of that.

"Come... lead me the way.", Rex said once again because Zor had told that the gargoyle king was waiting for him.

Right now it felt as if there was a rift built between them because this was probably the first time ever Rex had slapped someone dear to him.

Regardless, as per Rex's orders, Zor just led the way.

Soon a few of the bodies of gargoyles start to appear which were lifeless.

Rex and Bandis noticed the burnt marks and scratch marks which was without a doubt dine by Zor.

They further kept walking when finally they reached near an elevated ground from where a vast area could be viewed.

When Rex and Bandis stood there, they saw thousands of Gargoyles that were already dead.

Also, the giant gargoyle which had entered the Fairy land, which was more than enough to completely wipe them out, was also present here.

In fact, there were more than just a single Giant Advanced Gargoyles here.

They were also dead and the fact that only half of their bodies remained while being burnt whereas the remaining body had vanished proved that Zor had used the 'Dragon's Breath'.

Rex didn't give any sort of specific reaction and continued to follow Zor when finally they stumbled upon a scene which could literally make Rex puke.

"This is..."

Rex was completely shocked by the scene that was right in front of him.

Moreover, even Bandis could hardly believe at what he was looking at.

Right at that moment Zor paused and then after turning back, said, "Master, this is the reason that made me form a stream of blood..."

Rex stared at Zor and then stared back at the scene where many bones were kept.

That was not that attracted their attention, what actually made them horrified after looking at the scene was that there were still some fairies alive at the place who were eating their own body parts.

Though they were unconscious right now thanks to Zor, it was quite evident with the blood marks and flesh marks that were left on their teeth and face.

Rex was now finally able to understand the reason for which Zor did this and he regretted slapping him.

He slowly walked towards him and said, "Forgive me, I was too impulsive..."

Zor hadn't felt a slightest bit of hate or anything else when Rex hit him because he hadn't explained himself at the starting which led to misunderstanding.

So he thought that it was his mistake to begin with and that was why he looked at Rex and said, "No, I should be the one to apologize..."

Both of them were quiet for a while now after they said that to each other, but right after this happened, Rex asked just one thing, "Where is that bloody monster?"

Suddenly a wave of killing intent emerged from Rex's body.

Since the moment he had seen the fairies, he could feel a faint feeling of being angered but right now when he saw how the esteemed fairies were treated, his blood started to boil.

That was the main reason because of which his anger peaked and right now he was getting the urge to completely destroy the place.

But unfortunately since the fairies were still there and the thorough check was still left to be done, he decided to put that for later.

Right now he wanted to do what Zor was planning of and that was to meet the king of the gargoyles who had the supreme command over the things that had happened.

It took then 5-10 minutes but they eventually reached the place where the King of gargoyles was confined by Zor.

It seemed as if he had knocked him out and had used magic restrictions so that he wouldn't be able to cast anything that he would like.

Even right now the gargoyle king was unconscious. He was basically placed inside a small prison or jail where the fairies or other species were placed before they got butchered or something else happened.

Rex entered the area but found that the gargoyle king was still sleeping or was basically unconscious so he wanted to knock him and tell him to get up when all of a sudden Bandis just kicked the Gargoyle King.

Unlike the giants, the gargoyle king was pathetically small. He could be considered to be no bigger than an advanced gargoyle.

Though it seemed as if the only difference between the advanced ones and the King was that the King was much more stronger than them and had 10x times strong and thicker skin than them.

Moreover, they had the power to change their sizes at will and that would explain the reason for which he was small right now.

It could have probably been that Zor beat him up and forced him to be in that state right after which he used magic restrictions.

Regardless, now the Gargoyle King was awake with just one kick and Rex was sitting right in front of him.

"You...", the Gargoyle king was surprised to see Rex sitting on a rock right in front of him.

This was probably the first time he had seen a human in front of him.

"You... who..."

That was all he said right before which both Zor and Bandis stomped on him.

"Argh!", the gargoyle King shouted initially.

Rex then waved his hand and indicated Zor and Bandis to leave him.

Both of them removed their legs on Rex's command. Right after that happened the gargoyle king lifted his gazes yet again and looked at Rex.

But Rex had a fierce glare just by looking at which he turned his gazes down yet again when suddenly Rex asks, "Why? Why did you kill the fairies? Why did you invade their land?"

"..."

Rex seemed quite angry with the fact that all the fairies and the humans were traumatized.

Moreover some of them who were brought here were in no good shape.

So getting angry on something like this was completely legit and that as the right thing that Zor did.

Rex was also slowly losing his patience and was continuously glaring at the Gargoyle King who was kneeling right in front of him as if he was some insect.

But it seemed like Rex had some other plans right now regarding this.

He had no intention of forgiving the gargoyle king but at the same time he wanted to know the reason because which he took such measures.

That was because the gargoyles remained dormant for a long time and right now when they suddenly did all these things, Rex thought that there was someone else behind this who was pulling the strings from the shadows.

And no matter what happened, he wanted to find out about the person so that he could know more about all these instances.

Furthermore, it was his gut feeling that was saying that something bad might end up happening if he were to just neglect all these things.

"Will you say anything or do you want me to destroy this land completely?"

Rex knew that Zor wasn't cruel enough to kill the gargoyle children who were left behind.

There were many of them and each one of them were strong but when compared to a normal stage 1 gargoyle, they were just mere ants.

The Gargoyle king didn't want this to happen because if he were to kill all of them, then the generation of gargoyles would come to an end and there would be no more gargoyles living in future.

Furthermore, it seemed as if they had developed their own city over this long dormant period and maybe that was why they were somewhat able to think like that of humans and wanted to prolong their species.

So inevitably the gargoyle King opened his mouth and began to speak.

"I... I am sorry, it's all my fault!"

"Please kill me but let the ids go... Please..."

The gargoyle king plead and begged for mercy because right now without doing that, he wouldn't be able to save anyone of them.

"..."

It was a bit quiet for a while and the gargoyle king thought that this might have calmed Rex so he lifted his gazes a bit to take a look when all of a sudden he was engulfed in fear again since after hearing that Rex's anger had increased.

He had an even fiercer look on his face and his eyes were like that of an evil being without having any shred of mercy.

"Don't..."

"...you dare lie to me."

Rex released a large amount of killing intent which exerted a large amount of pressure on the gargoyle king.
