Chapter 994 Brush of Insanity

Chapter 994 Brush of Insanity

In the presence of a God, Viscardi has his fighting will instantly stripped away.

He, like the others who were witnessing the same scenery, was not expecting that there was an entity living inside Rex's body and protecting him from harm's way. Moreover, this entity is actually a God.

Just her presence alone made their energies unwilling to be controlled by them.

Even an inanimate essence like their energies were fearful.

Mavenna tried to stop this from happening, she knew that disturbing Rex from his meditation would be fatal. Thus, she also knew that the entity within him wouldn't let that happen. Her assumption was proven right at this very moment.

Attacking Rex right now is a very bad idea.

Despite having the Vampiric Eyes of Magnification, he couldn't break free from this trance.

Viscardi stuttered apologetically, "M- My apologies. I-I- I didn't know..."

But the Countess kept on staring at him for a long moment before Viscardi saw a slithering dark energy on her arm, and in the next second, that very energy grasped Viscardi's hand which prompted him to look at the Countess in mercy.

No matter what comes from this, it must not be good for him.

"Your misdeed will not be put off unpunished, mortal" the Countess whispered threateningly.

Swish!

Under Mavenna and Nezera's eyes, both the Countess and Viscardi vanished into thin air.

It was so sudden that it took a moment for them to grasp what happened.

Realizing what had happened, both of them exchanged looks at each other as their feet turned cold. Even the thought of what was going to happen to Viscardi made them shiver, but they were sure that the possibility of death was very high.

Meanwhile, inside an ethereal realm, only adorned by a crescent moon in the sky.

Splash!

Viscardi suddenly fell from the sky and hit the shallow water.

He was quick to recover and cast a vigilant gaze across the expanse, his heart pounding like a war drum in his chest. To his astonishment, he stood at the heart of an infinite space where he was surrounded by nothing but shallow waters stretching as far as his eyes could see.

Sensing no presence of blood energy, he instantly realized that he was in another realm.

'Goddess! Have mercy!'

Despite trying to plead for mercy, his eyes widened for a second.

Although he was obviously attempting to shout, no sound escaped his mouth, it was silent.

It was unclear whether he couldn't produce any sound or his ears were not functioning. But now that he realized that, he inspected himself and found that his sense of touch was also robbed away from him.

Viscardi's sense of touch, hearing, smell, and taste was not working normally.

Only his eyes retained its function.

'Calm down, it's okay... I just need to calm down and wait for him'

Even though the situation was not at all pleasant, he reckoned that enduring until Rex was done with his meditation was a prudent course given that the Countess didn't seem to want to kill him for real.

If she did, then she could do it with a flick of her fingers.

Patience, he concluded, would be his ally as he remained seated, biding his time.

An unknown amount of time has passed with nothing happening.

But Viscardi who was seated at the center calmly earlier was now prostrating on the ground, tears dropped down from his eyes as he tried to shout as loud as he could. He could feel that his throat was hurting, yet he couldn't hear anything.

Losing one sense is enough to really get to someone.

In Viscardi's case, he didn't lose one but four of five senses which shattered his mind.

Due to losing four of his senses, he was only accompanied by his thoughts and the paranoia of not being able to get out of this realm easily made him crazy. He initially thought that he would be fine, but he underestimated the Banished Realm.

Even Rex, having a very strong willpower couldn't stand too long inside the Banished Realm.

It was nothing much, only a plain tunic and leather pants.

Deciding to wear the fresh clothes, she grabbed them intending to lay them on the bed.

But as she did that, her eyes caught something flashing.

Giana looked at the flashing light, she reached out her hand to her usual clothes which were folded finely as the flashing light came from there. She took the clothes and found that there was a flashing symbol.

Only then that she realized what it was.

'Ninth-rank realm Awakened was given a specialized rune, made by a combination of rune and formation masters' intelligence. It's used to communicate and contact reinforcement. But the only one who could do this was other ninth-rank realm Awakened, so is it Brigitta?'

Seeing this flashing symbol, she assumed that it was Brigitta.

Denzel is completely out of the picture as he never used this method to contact the others.

Aside from that, she couldn't think of any other who would try and contact her, possibly thinking that she had gone missing. President Sebrof is another one, but he was dealing with the Executor, so he wouldn't contact her with that in his place.

Pondering for a moment, she snapped out of her daze and answered the call.

"Can you hear me, Giana?"

Upon hearing the voice, Giana had her eyes widened as it turned out, it was not Brigitta.

It was President Sebrof!

Giana stuttered when she heard his voice, her heart also began to thump faster.

Even though she did this in order to make Rex help humanity against the Executor, doing anything he wanted to win his favor which made her end up becoming a Werewolf, there is still some lingering guilt inside of her.

Now that she heard President Sebrof's voice, that guilt resurfaced.

Deep down she knows that if President Sebrof knows what she becomes, then it's all over.

She would gain treatment similar to Rex and be exiled.

"I know you can hear me, Giana. Answer me" President Sebrof said again.

Being called once again, Giana snapped out of her trance and cleared her throat, "Yes, I can hear you. For what purpose are you contacting me right now, President Sebrof?" She asked, trying to keep a calm tone.

"No need to be so stiff with me, I know that you are with Rex right now" He answered bluntly.

Giana felt her throat tighten when she heard this.

From the very first day, she became one of the pillars of humanity when she reached the ninth-rank realm, President Sebrof has always been her supervisor. She always looked up to him as the leader of Ratmawati City.

A chosen leader from the Elpida Alliance.

Due to that very reason, it would be a lie if she was not feeling uneasy right now.

"How do you know...?" She eventually asked.

Upon hearing this, President Sebrof quickly cut to the chase, "How I know is not important, what's important right now is that you went missing and were now with Rex. Usually, this would cost a heft punishment as a traitor, but I will pardon this"

"W- What...?" Giana was stupified.

She never really thought that President Sebrof would drop the matter just like that.

Pausing for a second, he continued, "You know that I always kept an eye on you the most, right? You are the youngest, and you always contribute to humanity greatly. For that, I am thankful, you've done a great service for us"

Giana kept silent when she heard this, but deep down, she was touched.

At least one person appreciates her sacrifice.

"However, I'm regretful to say that I want you to contribute more. I have something for you to do, and only you can do it" President Sebrof finally dropped what he wanted, which was already as expected.

It was the nature of the work, but the compliment came from him genuinely.

Calming her breathing for a couple of seconds, she eventually asked, "What do you need?"

Listening to what President Sebrof was about to say, Giana's eyes widened fully, she was surprised by what he said. But there was a brimming smile that bloomed on her face, "Are you sure?! Do you really want that?! If that's the case, I will do it! Don't worry, I will make sure that he will never know until the final battle..."
