Chapter 729 Not A Human Nor A Supernatural

Adhara felt a pang in her heart as she entered the bed chamber from last night and saw Evelyn embracing Rex, whose head was tucked securely against her chest. He appeared to be sleeping peacefully as they both emitted a soft, glowing aura of Luna Energy.

She knows that Rex sticks close to Evelyn in order to heal so she can put up with it.

Even though the fact that Evelyn was inside the bed chamber comfortably while she was assigning the Supernaturals outside, she decided to let it be for now. But the frustration keeps on pushing up throughout the night.

It was a torturous night for Adhara, she was more frustrated seeing Evelyn's annoying expression.

Ripping the difficult night through hazardous seconds, she managed to barely sleep and woke up when the sun is right above the castle. Not wanting to linger any longer, she quickly washed and heads out of the bed chamber where the two is still cuddling comfortably.

But around noon, she stumbled across the courtyard where Rex is lying on Evelyn's lap.

At this point her frustration has reached the boiling point, she hasn't got any attention from Rex at all even though she has been doing the most around the castle. "Shh... you're disturbing him, he's meditating so he can recover faster. Stop complaining already, go do your thing, Female Alpha."

For a moment there, Adhara's eyes glowed white as she got insulted by that sarcastic remarks.

"Don't think I forgot what you did, Evelyn... Instead of helping me secure the castle, you left and search for Rex instead. As I'm the Female Alpha, I reckon that you need to listen to me more when Rex is not around, no? I did my responsibility and you don't, but I bet you don't feel that you're in the wrong about that" Adhara replied with the same level of sarcasm.

Evelyn's face became a mask of rage, her eyes blazing with fury as she locked stares with Adhara.

The tension builds around them, thick like a noose that suffocates the air between them. An invisible spark of electricity seems to shoot from both of their eyes, both of them refused to break eye contact and just glare at each other.

Delta who is sleeping on the side of the courtyard can feel this rising tension.

Lifting her head up she saw the stare-off between Adhara and Evelyn and can't help but shuddered to the corner, she was feeling the tension, but she was more fearful of Adhara compared to Evelyn as she emits a more sharp air compared to Evelyn's gentle air.

But as they were glaring at each other, Rex's eyelids trembled before he slowly open his eyes.

"Adhara...? Arghh- Did I fall asleep again?" Rex muttered to himself while sitting up, he grabs his throbbing head before he glanced back at Adhara that seems off, "Have you finished assigning the Supernaturals their roles?"

Clearing her sore throat, Adhara then replied, "Yes, I've got a few candidates"

"Right, bring them to the great hall. I'll talk with them there and see what I can do" Rex mumbled, struggling to rise to his feet. Once safely inside the castle walls, his body felt weaker compared to yesterday even though his wound should've been better.

But his lack of adrenaline was likely the contributor to his exhaustion.

Adhara turns around and walks away, "They're already at the great hall waiting for you"

"Oh, okay, I'll be there in a second" Rex replied while gaining his composure.

Walking over to Delta that seemed to be stressed out, Rex smiled and rubs the spot below her chin, "I'll give you your compensation later, alright? I'm still undecided what to do with you, be patient" he said before he walks over to follow Adhara who is already walking towards the great hall.

Just as he was ascending the stairs, he glanced back to find Evelyn still stuck in her spot.

"Evelyn? Come with me, I still need you with me" Rex gestured for her to come closer with a slight frown on his face, 'Did I miss something? Why do these two looks off compared to the usual' he thought in confusion.

Evelyn snapped out of her daze and raised her face, "Yes! I'm coming!"

But when she saw Rex was about to head over to the great hall while wearing his pajamas completely disregarding his demeanor, she quickly grabbed his wrist and stopped her, "Are you seriously going to meet with them looking like that?"

"Looking like what?" Rex asked, his eyebrows dipping into a frown.

Pointing at the black and grey pajamas that Rex is wearing right now, she then added with a judgemental look, "Like that..." she uttered. Looking down to inspect himself, Rex realized that he was unpresentable right now.

It would be funny for the Supernaturals if they saw an Alpha wearing something like this.

Most of them would probably treat him as a joke if it weren't for his powerful bearing that of a ninth-rank realm entity. "R-Right..." Rex then scours through the system's shop, he decided that he would probably start wearing something more fitting for his standing.

But he will not wear royal clothes that of a King, it's a hassle and probably is not very comfortable.

'A presentable clothes, huh... Maybe a sleeveless black shirt, pants the same color, and a royal cape would suit me nicely and comfortable to be worn all day' Rex muses to himself as he looks for those three pieces of clothing.

Soon enough he finds exactly what he was hoping for in the system's shop.

The options vary from plain and elegant outfits that serve only for aesthetics to powerful garments geared toward battles, containing protection abilities, or even aura-amplifying attributes that can make one's presence even more domineering than it already has.

Out of the options, Rex chooses the middle-quality with aura-enhancing attributes.

Knowing that he doesn't have enough gold to buy clothes that he could wear to battle which would need to have a ninth-rank realm quality at the very least, he decided to just buy around the middle-quality clothes that range from 10,000 gold to 200,000 gold.

<Does the user want to buy a Shirt of Petrifying Mystery for 50,000 gold?>

<Does the user want to buy Strides of Petrifying Mystery for 50,000 gold?>

<Does the user want to buy Grand Infernal Cape for 300,000 gold?>

'Yes, buy the three of them' Rex replied inside his head, he then takes out the three items from the inventory that he bought. Under Evelyn's gaze, his body glowed with a dark bluish light before his pajamas were replaced by very dark blue clothing.

Immediately after, an air of mystery shrouded Rex's entire presence.

The bizarre items he wore, the Shirt and Strides of Petrifying Mystery gave him an aura of mystery that intimidated those who would look upon him, Evelyn among them. The Grand Infernal Cape shielded his intense energy which concealed his real power. It only works for opponents at or below the seventh-rank realm, perfect for whomever he'd encounter in the coming days.

'If I'm lucky, I can get better gear after I check the elemental stone mine Devo found' Rex thought.

But as he was thinking and inspecting the items he bought and nodded in approval, Evelyn was mesmerized when she saw the transformation of Rex's appearance from wearing pajamas to those majestic clothes that came out of thin air.

At first, she was judging Rex's appearance in pajamas, it was very unpresentable.

Now everything changed, his muscular body now fitted perfectly with a very dark blue sleeveless shirt and pants that are almost reaching black in color. It was made of a soft and resilient material, like a cloth spun from the finest silk.

But the clothing that stands out the most was the Grand Infernal Cape, adorning his back.

It has a similar color to his shirt and pants but with additional white furs on the edges, the cape is long enough that it reaches the floor. An aura of command radiated from him, the cape added a kingly air to him.

"How do I look? Am I presentable now?" Rex asked, waiting for Evelyn's opinion.

Since she came from the 25 Golden Crest Families aka noble families, her standards in appearance must be high. If she favored the clothes he wore right now then that have some bearing on them, and shows clearly that he made the right decision.

Rex grinned at Evelyn's expression, no answer was needed anymore.

Now that he's already presentable, he heads toward the great hall with wide strides. Evelyn snapped out of her daze and followed right behind, still secretly admiring the aesthetics of the clothes that he was wearing right now.

Upon reaching the great hall, Rex stepped strongly and saw five Supernaturals standing stiffly.

Adhara was standing in front of them with a stern expression, it seems she just told them that the person they are about to meet was the owner of this castle, which explains the pale expression of these five Supernaturals.

For them, this is not just a simple selection and a meeting.

If they somehow aren't able to impress the owner of the castle then they would lose a potential shelter and be tossed away into the Humming Damned Forest again, a forest so deadly that their numbers were shaved off more than half from a couple of simple hours dwelling inside.

Rejection was not an option for them, it was either be accepted or death.

Just from their nervous and slightly pale expressions alone shows that these people are feeling the burdens on their backs, the other Supernaturals outside are counting on them to be accepted so that they could stay here.

A moment before, Adhara already told them about what their job would be.

Adhara told them that there were going to be those who would be trained to be guards and those that would be servants for the castle. If none of them are fit to be guards, then most of them would be rejected as there's no need for many servants inside the castle.

Evelyn has already told her that these Supernaturals said that they would do anything to stay inside.

It was already a good mindset to have if they want to stay inside the safety of the castle, and Adhara came forward and assess their personalities to find the diamond amongst the rocks. A few of them would be tasked as guard leaders.

Guard leaders would be tasked to handle their own proportion of guards without any help.

Being strong is not necessary, Adhara knows that Rex can make anyone stronger.

What he was searching for was personalities that are tough and can potentially be loyal, and also the most important thing, they need to have strong reasons to stay here. And amongst the group of Supernaturals, Adhara selected these five as potential guard leaders.

Aside from Adhara and Evelyn, Naela is also present, she was standing at the left side of the room.

Rex makes his way towards the throne under the Supernaturals' stealing glances.

None of them are able to sense just how strong Rex really is thanks to the Grand Infernal Cape. As they were Supernaturals from the human territory, they probably don't know about the Silverstar Pack either as the news media is manipulated by the UWO.

Sitting on the throne and resting his arms on the handles, he gazes at the five Supernaturals.

Amongst the five Supernaturals that are selected by Adhara, three of them are Elves, while the other two are a Fairy and a Dryad respectively. It was a mix of humanoid Supernatural races, but that's not surprising as that is what makes them able to blend with the human in the first place.

"Do you know who I am...?" Rex asked with an authoritative tone.

One of the Supernaturals, the Fairy meekly raises her gaze to look at Rex's face before she gathers her bravery to answer, "I-If I'm not mistaken, you're Rex Silverstar. I- I saw you on the news one day, you're the one that helped president Sebrof take over the Vampire Stronghold... But I'm confused, you're a human, why are you here?"

Upon hearing this, Rex smiled and exposes his neat sets of white teeth.

"I have detached myself from the human or Supernatural sides, my side is my own. I'm going to create a nation where humans and Supernaturals can co-exist, and also... I'm not a human and also not a Supernatural" Rex replied before his eyes glowed red, and his fangs also elongate showing that he was indeed not just a human.

Witnessing such a scene, their eyes bulged open as if they'd seen a ghost sitting on the throne.

'What kind of creature is he...?!'
