Chapter 681 Update Of The Situation

Rex has been focused on his training entirely, wanting to learn the Brutal Impulse Moon Ability.

Without any additional skill that made him stronger would only put himself in much more danger, there are too many uncertainties that are surrounding him and the others right now. It was all due to the fact they were forced to get out of humanity's territory.

Although he knows it will be hard, he didn't quite expect to get this kind of problem.

One of the worst impacts of getting out of the human territory is the fact that he also got cut off from accessible information, he's completely cut off from the outside world and now doesn't know what's happening.

No technology to give him some news, and there are also no people to update him.

It was precisely why he needs to create a colony or nation with the low-ranking Supernaturals to slowly connect him with the world again, this kind of situation is not good for them. If this lets on, the Silverstar Pack will be in so much trouble.

Even if he got stronger, without information his castle would slowly crumble.

Not only that but he also needs to find Kyran's location as soon as possible, the only clue he had was from Flunra telling him about the incident inside humanity's territory, 'Kyran might already be hibernating right now...' Rex thought with a sigh.

Just thinking about it makes his body weak, he basically lost one good helper certainly.

But shaking his head not wanting to let his thought dissuade him from keeping this pace to search for Kyran, his eyes turned determined once again, 'I don't care if he's already in forced hibernation right now. What really matters right now is finding him, as long as he's alive then it's fine. No other way of doing this other than confronting Brigitta...'

With that fueling his mind, Rex keeps on training in order to be able to learn Brutal Impulse ability.

Since his body already feels the sensation of using the Brutal Impulse Moon Ability, channeling it would be a piece of cake. But the first part has now become the hardest part, and that is to control his kingly energy precisely.

Controlling kingly energy is much harder than controlling mana or spirit energy.

Rex feels that controlling elemental mana or spirit energy is akin to shooting a gun that he has never used before, the bullet wouldn't be precise in the first couple of shots but with appropriate training eventually, he would be able to shoot better.

Controlling kingly energy on the other hand is way harder, it's not just a simple shooting.

In term of controlling kingly energy the trigger of the gun now feels stiff and pulling it to shoot is harder. For him to actually be able to properly pull the trigger, he needs to work on his index finger strength first to make it strong enough to pull the trigger.

Even if he succeeds in that, there's also the recoil problem that strains his entire hand in one shot.

After going through all of that then Rex was finally able to train himself to shoot precisely, it would take years and years of practice if it were any other person. But thankfully Rex has the system, and that makes learning to control kingly energy easier.

With the Oracle of Moon Ability item, he basically mastered the last part of that analogy.

Rex now only needs to learn two parts himself to properly feel the kingly energy coursing inside of him which is centered on his forehead, and make his body stronger to feel and control his kingly energy.

But the progress is really slow and that frustrates Rex severely.

Now he knows how valuable the True Werewolf King Blood Physique skill that he automatically learned thanks to King Baralt, the skill should be a Moon Ability. It definitely takes a hazardous amount of training for him to be able to execute that, and Rex kind of respect him knowing how hard it is.

After meditating through the entire night, Rex finally opens his eyes.

If he has nothing to do except train then he would be able to stay meditating for weeks or maybe months, but he didn't have the luxury to do that. Upon opening his eyes, he was greeted by the sunlight seeping into the castle.

Rex feels the warm hands of the sun brushing his skin, he enjoyed every second of it.

But that trance of sensation didn't last long as his mind didn't let him rest, he remembered the conversation he had with King Jorik last night after they negotiate the terms of the alliance pact between them.

With Kyran, the possible future husband of Naela missing, they decided to help fully.

King Jorik told Rex that the humans have been making an advancing movement near the Great Barricade part which the Demons and Shapeshifters are guarding, and the Cessation Knights are pushing forward in a brazen manner.

In a couple of days, the Supernatural territory's borders have been pushed back five miles.

Something like this shouldn't happen especially since the massacre that Rex did inside Ratmawati City, the humans should be reserving their strength as so much of their Awakened got killed during that catastrophic incident.

But surprisingly they are attacking the Supernaturals, even with the casualties they suffered.

Although he was uncertain, King Jorik said that the humans seems to be forcing a fight with the high-rank Supernaturals. It happened for days, but he said that he has never gained a Royal or King's Decree from the high-rank Supernatural races asking for his army.

Usually, the decree will come very fast, asking for reinforcement to protect the borders.

Rex thought that the information he gains is valuable enough, but King Jorik also told him about something surprising that explode a bomb inside Rex's mind. It was the news regarding the defeat or death of the Shapeshifter King, King Oddity.

Due to kingdom problems, some Dark Elves are inside other races' kingdoms to trade and scout.

One of the Dark Elves reported back to King Jorik that the Shapeshifter Kingdom is in dismay, the Dark Elf said that the Shapeshifters sensed King Oddity's life force becoming minuscule. It created chaos inside the Shapeshifter Kingdom.

It was so bad that a civil war happened over some small dispute about King Oddity's condition.

Just when the kingdom was about to collapse and weakened heavily, one of the Five Conversions, the last member of King Oddity's trusted servants stepped up into leadership and prevents the civil war to escalate.

Something like this is absolutely surprising, King Oddity's death or defeat is no joke.

High-ranking Supernatural races consist of six kingdoms and each of them has a ninth-rank realm King or Queen leading them. Now that King Oddity's condition is unknown, that shoves the Supernatural power immensely.

Disregarding his condition, this incident is basically a death of a ninth-rank realm Supernatural!

It might even escalate into the death of an entire high-ranking Supernatural race kingdom!

A feat this big would definitely put a smile on Rex's face when he was still with the humans, but this news doesn't bring him any joy whatsoever. Even his expression kept stern and indifferent except for the surprise when he first heard it.

But even with that kind of incident, the Supernatural still has six ninth-rank realm entities.

Even if King Oddity really did get killed by the humans, it's still not enough for humans to make this kind of advancement. Something is certainly not right here, and Rex can feel it from a mile away.

'Weird... very weird... I can't think of any reason for humanity to push forward with that much Awakened I killed. Not only that, but the high-rank Supernatural races are also acting weird. From what I can decipher, it seems they are avoiding a big fight' Rex thought with a frown, he was not updated for a week or so and this much is already happening.

Clearly, there's something going on that he doesn't know here, there has to be.

Pondering for a moment Rex finds that there's no point in thinking when he doesn't know the missing piece, 'They're moving on the borders guarded by the Demons and Shapeshifters, right? Then Brigitta's side is still relatively safe, but I need to learn Brutal Impulse before I go there myself'

With that out of the way, Rex stands up from his throne intending to check on the others.

Looking to the outside direction, he sensed Flunra is standing on the wall, probably making sure that there was no sign of threat in the Humming Damned Forest. Even with the cursed creatures horde Adhara and the Dark Elf beat, there are still many cursed creatures left.

Rex turns around and went to the hallway, he got back to his bed chamber and open the door.

Upon peeking inside he finds Adhara is already looking outside of the glazed window, she's still lying on the bed with her arm half-healed. It would probably take another day before her arm completely healed.

"Are you going to watch from there?" Adhara suddenly asked and turns her head.

Even though he wanted to look at Adhara for a moment there admiring the scene, he knows that he can't do that since she can sense him clearly. While closing the door behind him and approaching the bed, Adhara commented, "Huh... you don't look as depressed as I thought you would be. Is there any good news?"

Rex chuckled lightly and set by the bed, he caressed Adhara's head gently.

"Before that, how are you feeling? Do you feel ill in any way?" Rex asked, she was fighting a bunch of cursed creatures after all and she might get hurt. On top of that, he also already told the system to scan her.

It would be bad if she also got cursed just like Gistella, there's no harm in being thorough.

<Scanning...>

While the system is scanning her body, Adhara shakes her head and turned her head away to the glazed window with a slightly puffed expression, "I'm fine, fighting those cursed creatures is nothing, really. Alongside the Dark Elves, the fight went smoothly although there's a little crack in the wall"

Upon seeing her like this, Rex frowned but soon he realized what she wanted.

"Thank you for keeping the castle safe, I know I can count on you" Rex said with a light smile.

Although she can be tough at times it's clear to him that she wanted some recognition from him, it was always him who dealt with the problems but she managed to deal with this one herself. It's not a bad thing to give her the compliment she needs.

Hearing those words, Adhara was stunned for a moment as she looks at Rex with her widened eyes.

Out of nowhere a tear unconsciously fell to her cheek which caught Rex off guard, she then blinked a couple of times to snap out of her daze before she suddenly lunges at Rex. Adhara hugs him tightly with her arm wrapping around his neck.

"Woah, what happened? Do you not want me to say that?" Rex asked in confusion.

Albeit his denseness to women for once he's quite proud of himself to realize what Adhara wants, but this kind of reaction is unexpected. While burying her face in his chest, Adhara mutters stutteringly, "No, you idiot!"

"I thought you were not going to come back..." she pulls back and pound Rex's chest with her fist.

Upon hearing this Rex was stunned for a moment as he saw more tears overflowing Adhara's watery eyes, he then realized that in the other's perspective, he might be dead due to the level 6 championship.

Smiling gently, Rex pulls Adhara to his chest and hugs her tightly, "I'm sorry for making you worry"

"Don't worry about me, I'm not going to leave you, and I'm not going to die just yet. It'll take more than that to kill me, you know that" he apologized and tried to make her feel better, it must've been hard on her.

​ Adhara was quite disturbed when Rex said 'yet, it's like he planned on dying deliberately someday.

Both of them stay like this for a moment, easing and recovering their uneasy souls.

After a brief moment, Rex pulls back and held Adhara's face which is filled with tears. With gentleness, he wipes her tears before he smiled brightly, "Are you sure it's not because you want recognition for defending the castle? I heard that you are bragging about your victory against the cursed creatures to Gistella"

Puff!

Rex's face got hit by a pillow suddenly, he saw Adhara is pouting when she heard that.

"I'm not! Get out of the room, I'm banning you from sleeping here!" she shouted and pushed Rex off of the bed which made him chuckle, he finds her behavior quite cute, especially with her annoyed expression and reaction.

Wanting to tease her even more, Rex punched the air, doing what Adhara did in his mind when she won against the cursed creatures, "I did it! I protected the castle!" he teased using his wannabe-woman voice.

"GET OUT!!"
