Chapter 683 Different Cultures And Fated One

"...Naela, right?"

Upon hearing this, Fylson nudges Naela's arm with his elbow signaling that Rex is talking to her.

Realizing this Naela stutters for a fair moment and nervously looks at Rex and puts on a polite smile, and this makes Rex realize something. 'It seems she can only speak Dark Elf language, that's going to be a problem'

"Let me ask you one thing, how did you meet with Kyran?" Rex asked.

Instead of using his own language, he decided to use the Dark Elf's language. Learning languages from the system doesn't only allow him to read, but he can also speak the said language. Even right now he can also speak the Orc language if he wanted to.

For some reason, the high-rank Supernatural races used human language instead of their own.

No matter if they are not humanoid at all, Vampires, Werewolves, Demons, Undead, and any of the other high-rank Supernatural races used human language. Only the lower-rank Supernatural races used their own languages such as the Dark Elf and Orc.

Something that Rex picked up, but doesn't have the answer to.

Upon hearing this Naela was surprised to hear him talking in Dark Elf language, the nervousness that she felt lessened greatly before she replied, "W-We're training in the forest, then suddenly our roasted food was gone. We tries to find the thief and saw Kyran leaning on a tree. We thought that he was a human, so we tries to snipe him but we failed and he overpowers us"

Fylson and Viessa have cold sweat training down the side of their faces and foreheads.

Both of them have nervous smiles on their faces when they hear Nalea and the others that are with her try to snipe Kyran, a member of the Silverstar Pack. Even Rex can see bleak auras coming from both of them, showing that they're scared when they heard what Naela said.

'I'll never get used to this...' Rex thought wryly.

Although he's one of the strongest, he never really got any treatment like this.

Most of the people or Supernaturals that he has dealt with usually have a ninth-rank realm entity as their backer, the UWO, the SCO, or even the high-rank Supernatural races, they all have a backer. Because of that, they are wary but know that they had a chance against him.

It's different compared to the Dark Elves, they have absolutely no chance against Rex.

Rex can do anything he wants to them if he really wants to, the Dark Elves have little to no means of defense against him. Even their king, King Jorik is only an eighth-rank realm, he can't do anything if Rex decided to attack.

Reactions such as these were new and Rex understands why they are scared and compliant.

Seeing that Fylson and Viessa are eyeing Naela, asking through their eyes why she had to say that, Rex chuckled lightly, "Well, you're just defending your territory, and I understand. Since you wanted to be with Kyran, it's fated you say, why don't you start by living in the castle?"

"A-Are you sure about that Lord Rex, w-we can take it slow" Fylson asked politely.

Without even taking his eyes off Naela, Rex pointed at Flunra with his index finger before he added, "If you want to, Flunra here can take you around and tell you a bit about Kyran, to help you get to know him"

Viessa glanced at her daughter nervously, she knows that butting in would be impolite.

Although it's clear that Kyran is the fated one to be with her daughter, Naela, letting her daughter whom she raised stay in a castle full of Werewolves is a little bit too much. She worries for Naela's safety, as all mothers would.

Looking hesitatingly at her parents, Naela ponders for a moment while biting her lower lip.

Raising her eyes to see Rex, she finds that there's no enmity coming from him. It's true that Rex is a ninth-rank realm entity that is very dangerous, but the cultural side of her wants her to believe him as everything is already set out by nature.

Dark Nature wouldn't lie to her, and this must be her way to be with the fated one.

Giving both of her parents apologizing eyes, Naela inhales deeply as sparks of a decision can be seen through her eyes. "O-Okay, I'll stay..." Naela finally replied, making both of her parents' hearts skip a beat.

"If that's decided then go ahead and go with Flunra" Rex said lightly.

As he said that, Flunra signaled for him to walk away for a moment, he seem to have something to say. "Excuse us for a moment" Rex said to the three before he went to the side with Flunra, it seems to be a serious matter.

"What's the matter? You looked serious" Rex asked with a frown.

Upon hearing this, Flunra steals a glance at Naela before he replied, "I don't think Kyran should be 'married' to her, that's just not right. We don't need to follow their culture, we're not Dark Elves after all"

"Hmm? What is your reason for telling me this?" Rex crosses his arms in front of him.

Despite the suddenness of the situation, he doesn't feel the need to prevent anything like this from happening. Kyran would still be his pack member, and he would still live in the castle when he came back, Rex simply can't find a reason why Flunra says this.

Flunra then explained, "Kyran is a Beta, and Betas aren't supposed to have mates"

"If I had to suggest, Naela should be married to you instead. Alphas can have all the females he wants, there's no right for the Betas to have some for themselves, including me" he added with a serious tone.

But this makes Rex sighs, he thought it was something serious.

Laying his hand on Flunra's shoulder, "Are you saying this because of the Werewolf's culture?"

Upon hearing this Flunra nodded his head, there's no record that the Betas have a mate for them. Only the Alphas can have mates and reproduce, the strong is the only one allowed to have children. If a Beta wanted to have his own family, then he should detach from the pack and create his own pack.

"You forget that I'm not a Werewolf by birth, I also don't need to follow that culture" Rex added.

After saying that he heads back to the Dark Elves but he stopped right beside Flunra who seems to be inside his thoughts. Glancing at Flunra, he then also said, "If you wanted a mate too, go ahead. As long as she's not jeopardizing the pack's safety, I don't really mind"

Flunra widened his eyes for a brief second, he then raises his chin and nodded his head.

With that Rex gets back to the Dark Elves, he already settled the matters regarding Naela but when he expected the Dark Elves to leave Fylson then said, "Lord Rex, actually, we also have some other matters to discuss with you"

Upon hearing this, Rex nodded his head and brought them all inside the castle.

A moment later.

Fylson alongside the other Dark Elves entered the castle that looks more majestic than anything they have ever seen, even their own Great Tree pale in comparison. Stepping inside the castle, they are instantly greeted by the sight of the Great Hall which is a very spacious rectangle space.

Instead of what they expected, they were greeted by a completely different vibe.

Rex's great hall or even the interior of the castle entirely has a futuristic theme to it, something foreign for these Dark Elves that haven't seen human infrastructure. Not only the overall theme, but the walls are not just stacked stones but polished beautifully.

Flags and Banners flapped majestically along the path, showing extreme power and authority.

Apart from the appearance of the castle, the Dark Elves also noticed the sudden change in the air.

"H-How come this place has more Dark Nature energy than our kingdom...?" Viessa asked Fylson while following behind Rex and Flunra's back, she was absolutely surprised to find that the castle actually has dense Dark Nature energy.

Rex standing in the front heard this, "I'll change that when we're done discussing"

"As a race revolving around the Dark Nature, you must've felt the thinning Dark Nature energy around your kingdom. If you're wondering why this castle is the cause of it. But don't worry, I'll stop the castle from absorbing Dark Nature energy" he explained while pointing at the castle's walls with his hand.

Since the castle has an innate ability to gather all kinds of energies, Dark Nature energy is included.

Now that they are allies Rex would set the castle to exclude Dark Nature energy, in a month or two the Dark Nature energy inside the forest would be very thin as the castle gathered it automatically. It would be bad for the Dark Elves then.

Without Dark Nature energy, they won't be able to get stronger naturally.

Fylson and Viessa nodded their heads in understanding, but then their expressions paused for a second before their eyes both gazed at Naela. A wide smile blooms on their faces while looking at Naela.

Even though Rex said that he'll make the castle stop absorbing Dark Nature energy, there's a catch.

Although Rex decided to do that, the castle has already absorbed an immense amount of Dark Nature energy which will not be released and trapped here, then it will linger inside the castle endlessly.

Nobody from Rex's side harness Dark Nature energy, they are all Werewolves.

If that's the case, Naela would be the only one able to utilize the Dark Nature energy inside the castle which also means she would get stronger very quickly. That alone already puts a smile on their faces.

Other than the dense energies, their eyes bear witness to a holy place that makes them feel feeble.

King Jorik's throne room is sacred enough that only a selected few can enter there, and now they are inside a throne room of an entity way stronger than King Jorik. The invisible crushing force presses onto their bodies, and they feel undeserving to be here.

But simultaneously, they feel proud that their daughter would be a part of this.

Gazing to the side they saw a figure coming from the hallway, and the figure instantly takes their breaths away. Even the female Dark Elves were mesmerized by this figure's beauty, she's like a goddess that can hypnotize someone with a look.

Rex looks at the figure, it was Gistella that sensed foreign people inside the castle.

"Master...?" Gistella uttered, asking about the Dark Elves.

Upon hearing this Rex signaled with his hand that it was fine, "They are from the Dark Elf Kingdom, we're allies now. Don't treat them with anything but respect" he instructed which makes Gistella nod her head in understanding.

It didn't take long for Rex to reach the throne and sits there with Flunra at his side.

Fylson and the other Dark Elves they brought here bowed slightly as he sits down, they don't dare to do anything rash here even though there were no guards except for the Silverstar Pack members themselves.

But they all know that the Silverstar Pack members are all powerhouses.

Even the beautiful goddess with sharp blue eyes called Gistella is at least as strong as General Theodas, they can tell from her presence alone. "So, Fylson, what do you want to discuss with me? If it's something important you may say it now"

"Yes, Lord Rex. Since we're allies now, there's a matter we need to discuss" Fylson said politely.

Raising his gaze to meet with Rex's who is sitting on the majestic throne, leaking with strength and authority, he then continued, "It's about the Tigerman Race, they found out about the Oath Pact and need to be taken down as soon as possible"

"Oh? Tigerman race, huh..." Rex mutters with a sinister smile on his face.
