Chapter 982 Convincing Calidora

Chapter 982 Convincing Calidora

"I can ask you about it later if you're not up for anything right now. This is your castle, and I'm only a guest. At the very least I should respect your need for privacy" Rex shook his head, he couldn't come out as rude and risk offending Calidora in ways he didn't know or even realize.

He really can't mess this up, this is the crucial part of his planning.

With the stake heightened to the point of uncomfortably high, he needs to be extra careful.

Seeing him being like this, Calidora chuckled sweetly.

Not once has she ever seen Rex being this overtly courteous.

Calidora could clearly tell that he was trying to not offend him for some unknown reason, but it was obvious that he needed something yet didn't want to shove it at her. It must be quite an important something to make him act like this.

But considering that he was usually dominant, seeing this side of him is quite refreshing.

"Rex, if you're being like this, you're also making me uncomfortable," Calidora said assuringly. "Treat this castle as your own, and talk to me normally. If you need something, go ahead and tell me. As long as I don't need to step out into the light, then I'm fine"

Upon hearing this, Rex could only smile wryly.

He cursed himself realizing that he must be acting way too differently than normal.Get your favorite novels at novelhall.com

Clearing his throat, he decided to take Calidora on her offer and act normally, "I could tell that your cursed power has gotten stronger again since you were able to bring me to the underground chamber yourself. On that note, I wanted your help to cultivate my cursed source and reach the ninth epiphany"

A peculiar glint, flashed inside Calidora's eyes when she heard this.

She wanted to ask what he remembered from last night, and now she got the answer.

'Bring him to the underground chamber? I thought he would at least remember a bit from last night, but it seems he passed out completely. I'm not going to correct him though' Calidora pondered, coming to a realization that Rex didn't recall anything from last night.

Then again, during the feeding process, he was out of it.

In addition, when he exited the bed chamber, he was also being influenced hard by the last stroke of the Hare Moon. Lastly, within the underground chamber, he went berserk and transformed so he also didn't remember that.

So it was understandable that he didn't remember anything that happened last night.

"Help cultivate your cursed source? And why would I do that?" Calidora asked.

Currently, she has the upper hand in the cursed power.

Due to her superior cursed power, she can control Rex within a limit, such as stopping him completely during an attack. If Rex's cursed source grew stronger, then she would also lose that ability as controlling him would be harder then.

Obviously, she was leaning to refuse to help him in this regard.

Upon hearing this, Rex remained silent for a brief second, his mind turning its gears.

I think taking the soft approach wouldn't work for Calidora.

She even noticed it instantly.

Judging from her character, and the way Evelyn portrayed her, it was clear that she likes me in her twisted way. So she must like the usual me, and becoming less dominant wouldn't let me have my way with her.

Rex nodded, he decided that he would act as if he didn't need Calidora's help that much.

He excels in this kind of thing, so he's not worried.

"What do you think about the Executor, Calidora?" Rex suddenly asked, his eyes squinting.

Not expecting that kind of question, Calidora arched an eyebrow. She contemplated for a second before she eventually replied, "A nuisance to the world, but very strong. Eventually, the threat he poses would reach me, and it's preferable if he dies before that occurs"

But furthering his mind to be wild, Calidora pivoted around.

"Let's go. Let's do it right now, inside this room" She said, gesturing for him to start training.

Although this was a good progression for him, as he now convinced Calidora to help him willingly, he doesn't feel good at all. Doubts haunted his mind, and he couldn't take care of his doubts as Calidora had already started cultivating already.

Guess everything went according to plan... Yeah, whatever, let's start cultivating.

...

Meanwhile, back to the Shifting Realm.

Inside the shroud of the forest were Elder Nolacula and Elder Tilrith, both of them watched the battle inside the Shifting Realm from start to finish and gained some insights that they put in their arsenal of knowledge.

Despite losing so many people, the two already knew the risk and had no problem.

None of them felt sorry for the fallen Demons and Vampires.

"Hmm... I wished the Executor would do more than that. His ability to render Kurt like that is something that I am aware of, it's the innate ability of Chaos elements called Corrupted Reflection, able to reflect a spell his body sustained to others in a corrupted version" Elder Nolacula mused with a dejected tone.

Most of the Executors have this power, so it's quite a renowned ability.

Upon hearing this, Elder Tilrith nodded her head, "Since that Vampire cast a blood spell, the Executor gained a transient command over blood energy and made him end like that. Alas, it's quite regrettable that the Royal Black Prince was only able to elicit that much"

Just as the two were talking, two figures dashed and landed gracefully beside them.

Both then went to one knee in respect to the Elders.

Appearance-wise, one figure resembled a human woman, but she was obviously not a human judging from the blue demonic aura that she was emitting. Naturally, this figure is definitely one of the Executioners of Tyro.

On the other hand, the other figure is a Vampire in its ancient form.

Despite his hulking bat-like body, its presence was fainter than even the smallest dark fairy.

Elder Tilrith and Elder Nolacula have infiltrated both of them inside the armies.

Both of them are tasked to keep a distance and not engage in a fight and would come to meet with the Elders when the entire army that they sent here was defeated. Now that they are here, it's a clear signal that the army was done already.

Not even needing to say anything, the Elders intend to leave to prepare for their next move.

However, the Vampire suddenly called, "I plead for forgiveness, Elders..."

Upon hearing this, Elder Nolacula and Elder Tilrith stopped and turned to look at the Vampire with a questioning look. In haste, the Vampire continues, "A lot of our people are dead, and I humbly ask why we are doing this?"

"If we want to stop the Executor, then a full force is what we need" he added to his question.

Elder Tilrith looked at Elder Nolacula after he finished his question.

Obviously, it was Elder Nolacula's subordinate who asked the question, and he would need to be the one to answer. Moreover, questioning the Elders is bad etiquette and Elder Nolacula was slightly embarrassed by this.

"Firstly, you know nothing, Fabio. I suggest keeping your question to yourself next time"

Bowing his head deeper, Fabio apologized again, "I'm sorry, Elder"

Scoffing lightly, Elder Nolacula then continued, "As for the answer to your question, it's because we are not aiming to stop the Executor here. In a couple of days, the Executor would reach the Symposium of Upper Divinities, and there is where the real fight begins"

"That's where the real fight begins...?" Fabio utters back, still puzzled.

Elder Nolacula nodded firmly before he smirked, "Yes. Even the Executor knows that, which is why he didn't do anything, to reserve his energy. He knows that when he reaches the Symposium, he will be fighting not two sides, but three sides at the same time..."
