Chapter 583 Without Consulting Me

Rex looks down at his grabbed arm before he gazed at Adhara's scorching eyes, these angry eyes are not something he sees Adhara wears very often. Something changed inside those eyes, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Exactly how it sounded, I want you to kill him"

Even from the brief exchange, the anger behind her voice can be heard loud and clear.

Since he has been with Adhara for the longest time amongst the others here, he basically knows her personality in and out especially since he turned her into a Werewolf. The words that come out of her mouth are something he never expected Adhara would say.

But no matter the changes that happened within her, Rex can't be rash in dealing with this.

'I can't kill Sebrof no matter how much I wanted, his position will be vacant and during that transition, the chain of command would be weakened heavily. We can't afford that, not in these times', Rex thought with a sigh.

Despite being the target of assassination, Rex needs to be the bigger heart.

For one, the one killed was nothing more than an illusion. Secondly, he now knows that he has a target on his back even with everything he has done. Third, killing Sebrof would just be plain stupid as it will risk humanity's collapse.

Rex has never been merciful to the one trying to kill him, and he didn't plan on doing so.

Even though there are repercussions in killing Sebrof, he was not going to let this be just for the sake of humanity, 'If I want to kill him for trying to kill me, then I'll need to prepare for that. Maybe the next president will accept me being a Werewolf'

"Not the time, Adhara. Everything has its time", Rex finally replied.

Upon hearing this her expression darkens, Rex wanted to head inside the hospital to check on the others but he finds that Adhara's hand is still grabbing him by the arm not intending to let go.

With a confused expression, Rex looks back at her.

"Adhara...?"

But instead of saying something from the strong grip on Rex's arm, Adhara suddenly loosen her grip before letting go of Rex's arm, "Go on to the others, I'll check if the teleportation formation is ready"

After saying that, Adhara turns around and left the hospital grounds.

"Did something happen to her that the illusion didn't see?", Rex asked with a frown.

It didn't take a genius to know that something is wrong with Adhara, she was more perplexed by what happened with the Shapeshifter and the ambush. Moreover, what she said earlier somehow made Rex a little bit worried about her state.

Flunra rubs his chin remembering the battle earlier, but he didn't find anything worth mentioning.

"When I get there she was very injured and almost ended by the Awakened she battled, I do have to say that she's resilient and fearless in the face of death. Before I helped her, I heard her shouting in madness something about dying but I didn't pay much attention"

Upon hearing this, Rex looks in the direction Adhara has left with a troubled look.

Rex worries that she might change and become unstable for a while, maybe due to the fact that she was near death or someone really tried to actually kill him. But the latter doesn't make sense since he was the one targeted, not her.

Even through thick and thin, Adhara is a person that gave him morale support.

Out of the times that they are together, Rex remembered two times Adhara gave him morale support. The first one is when Kyran steals the wrong crate, while the other one was after the death of Rosie.

Seeing Adhara like this is unsettling, it gives him a bad feeling.

But knowing that there's nothing he can really do right now except for giving her some space alone, Rex went inside the hospital alongside Flunra to check on Gistella and Evelyn that is supposedly injured.

While walking inside the hospital, Rex heads to the counter where a nurse is sitting at.

After asking about the room where Adhara and Gistella are treated, both of them immediately went to the lift before Rex pressed the fourth floor. Both of them are being treated by a Healer Awakened that happened to be here.

Just as the lift door was about to close, Rex looks at Flunra in confusion.

Flunra is in front of the lift while looking at the place Rex was in weirdly, he inspected the cramped room warily as if he was getting inside a torture box, "What are you doing? Get in", Rex commented.

Upon hearing this, Flunra hesitated for a moment before finally walking inside awkwardly.

But when the door was about to close once again, a woman can be heard shouting to hold the lift door from the side which made Rex instantly hold the door. It was common courtesy and turns out the source of the voice was a nurse.

Putting on a bright smile, she thanked Rex for holding the door for her.

While also giving Flunra a polite smile, the nurse walks inside before standing in the middle between Rex and Flunra. Since the lift is very small, both of them need to press their bodies back a little to not touch the woman.

It can't be helped as Rex and Flunra are way bigger compared to most people.

Even by standing in front of the two, the nurse looks very tiny in comparison. Rex even briefly thought that the lift wouldn't be able to lift the both of them up, but it seems he underestimated the lift's lifting power.

No music is playing in the background, and the woman is going to the same floor as them.

Rex wanted to fix the silence by satiating the questions inside his head, "So, how did they got injured in the first place? Both of them are not easily injured until needing hospital care, something must've happened to them"

"It was the Unearthly White Lunar Tablet, we as Werew- Ouch!"

Finding that Flunra almost said something that he shouldn't have with the nurse beside them, Rex elbowed him in the guts pushing his body to the side and creating a loud thud from hitting the lift wall.

The nurse yelped in surprise upon hearing the loud thud.

With the same bright smile that has now turned nervous, the nurse glanced back and saw Rex returning the same smile and Flunra rubbing his elbowed stomach. But realizing that Rex is smiling at the woman, Flunra also did the same.

Instead of a polite smile, Flunra smiled unevenly which make his smile doesn't look right.

Soon enough, the lift reached the fourth floor and the lift door opened. The nurse instantly zoomed away terrified of Flunra that smile at her as if he wanted to eat her whole, no doubt being inside the lift with both of them will go down as one of her most awkward and weird occurrences ever.

Upon walking out of the cramped lift, Rex gives Flunra a warning glare.

"Don't talk like that, did you forget? Humans are not particularly fond of Supernaturals"

Flunra scratches the back of his head as it was his first time in human places like this so he doesn't really know to act, and even because of that he decided to just stay outside while Adhara helped the others inside.

But nobody can blame him though, it's his first time ever surrounded by humans.

Even standing amongst humans back in the mansion is already weird enough, and now he's standing amidst more humans that don't look like they are trained to fight. Even with the addition of that, he still feels alert.

Untrained humans exist amongst the ancient humans, but they are still very powerful.

Although he knows that the humans now are not the ancient humans that dominated the Supernaturals easily, the fact that he was standing amidst humans is pretty terrifying for someone like him that has seen the dark side of the world.

"Well? What are you trying to say earlier?", Rex snap Flunra back from his daze.

Both of them are walking down the hallway following the signs on the wall, Flunra then continues, "It's the Unearthly White Lunar Tablet, a weaponized tablet containing a fragment of the actual White Omicron. Many of us fall from that, and I know the damage done by a White Omicron can be permanent"

'Tablet? Is it the Stone Tablet in the museum back then?', Rex thought with a frown.

Even though it happened quite a long time ago he can't really erase that accident from his mind, his eyes bleed profusely from catching a glance at that Stone Tablet that the system shows to have a fragment of the White Omicron.

"You mean like Adhara's bloodline?", Rex asked again.

Contrary to his expectation, Flunra shakes his head, "Adhara's bloodline is only a proxy of the White Omicron, her aura can't compare with the actual aura of a White Omicron. Even its fragment can weaken a Prince"

Upon hearing this, Rex nodded his head as he knew that the White Omicron is that sacred.

Rex knows from the moment of reading the Omicrons' description that they were ultimate beings that either favor or disfavor the Werewolves, and the White Omicron is the one that disfavors the Werewolves and kills them on sight.

"It can be permanent...? Really?"

"Yes, but you don't have to worry. I engrave them with an ancient rune that can negate the continuous effect brought by the fragment of the White Omicron, it will not work on the actual one but if it's only a fragment then it's going to work"

Although Flunra said that casually, Rex finds something hidden behind his sentence.

Even though he doesn't know clearly about the ancient runes that Flunra always talked about, he did finds a gloomy tone hidden very well inside his tone. It was very subtle and Rex instantly realized the reason behind his gloomy tone.

'Unlike me, that can buy runes from the system. Others needed to create them'

Looking at Flunra walking on his side, Rex can't help but be lucky to have Flunra on his side, 'If the White Omicron is as fierce as the system's description then how many lives must've been lost to create this ancient rune that he used for Gistella and Evelyn? Probably a lot...'

A moment later,

Rex finds both Gistella and Evelyn lying on the bed unconscious, the toll of the stone tablet affects them heavily and reduced them to this state. But it seems the ancient runes on their foreheads are taking effect.

Slowly but surely, both of their injuries are healing which makes Rex breathe easily.

From the looks of it, there shouldn't be any permanent damage on them thanks to the ancient rune that Flunra engraved on them. But through talking with the system, he finds that his presence can hasten their recovery.

Because of that, Rex sits inside their room for at least until the teleportation formation is prepared.

Unknown to him and Flunra that are inside the room with Gistella and Evelyn, Adhara heads out of the city before turning into her Werewolf form. In the next second, she dashes away heading to the nearby forest.

Not long after that, many whimpers and weak roars resounded from the forest.

~

Meanwhile, back to Ratmawati City.

With the brief exchange she had with Zero earlier, Giana sits inside the grand throne of the Sky Temple knowing that there are several powerful figures heading in her direction right now.

Giana is sitting in gloom, regretting what she did.

But amongst everything that went wrong, she didn't regret trying to kill Rex.

It was a firm point that humans don't need the help of Supernaturals. Anything regarding the Supernaturals must be rejected, it was something that shouldn't even be discussed but it seems she's the only one that thinks like that.

Not long after, she lifted her head up hearing a commotion outside.

Many of her subordinates can finally feel the enormous amount of mana that is heading towards them, it's a literal army that marched here. Each one of them is Awakened hailing from the UWO and FAA followed by military men and their heavy vehicles.

But out of nowhere, a streak of red light descend from the sky before bursting through the roof.

Giana's eyes glow with blue arcane mana seeing the arrival of the figure clad with streaming red lightning that is coursing throughout his body, the thick aura rivaling that of Giana's aura shows that this figure is also a ninth-rank Awakened.

More than that, this figure's aura even pressed on Giana's aura.

Without needing more than a glance, Giana instantly recognizes this figure as none other than President Sebrof. It was only him that has red lightning that was nicknamed Harbinger of Destruction.

Raising his fierce expression, Sebrof made sharp eye contact with Giana.

"You took matters into your own hands without consulting me, you risked Humanity without consulting me. I think your ego has raised quite a bit, Giana..."
