Chapter 1055 What is he doing?
Chapter 1055 What is he doing?
I don’t want another enemy, but I can’t let her get away after what she did.
Rex grimaced as he turned to look at the others, teetering in pain from the brutal fight.
He had no choice but to not let Iseldra go without paying more for what she had done, and in Rex’s eyes, the price of the princess helping him compared to the pain that the others suffer is still not even close to equal.
If anything, he was very generous in letting Iseldra go with only that.
Letting her go away after what she had done would be irresponsible of him as the Alpha.
Maybe I should’ve asked for more, a King Mark would be really great right now.
Shaking his head, deciding to not be greedy and be thankful that he managed to obtain help from the Ice and Snow Princess—all thanks to the others, he sighed heavily. Even though he wanted the others to be safe, he couldn’t force them to do that.
Partially, it was his fault for disregarding their feelings towards him.
Knowing that all of them wanted to help him, Rex decided to exempt them from the fight.
Despite it being for the sake of themselves, it was still heartless.
But the timing is quite perfect, do they know that my fight against the Executor is near?
As he thought of that, the princess coughed blood.
“How long are you going to hold my heart? We have a deal” She uttered lightly.
Upon hearing this, Rex snapped out of his daze and became aware that his claws were still embedded in the princess’ chest, clasping her heart. Gently withdrawing his hand, she then could finally breathe freely.
With a bite to her lower lip, the gaping hole in her chest closed visibly.
It was almost as fast as Rex’s regenerative ability.
Not even wasting a second, the princess made an oath as promised to the Werewolf Origin.
His power bonded her soul until she helped Rex fight the Executor.
Even though she was making an oath right beside him, all the words she said were muffled as Rex’s eyes worriedly traversed in Adhara’s direction. He was evidently worried that she might experience something unexpected.
Rex has never seen Adhara reduced to this extent, this was his first time.
Naturally, being worried is unavoidable.
“Give me your clan’s mark so we can communicate,” the princess suddenly said.
Averting his gaze back to her, Rex raised an eyebrow in confusion, “Hmm? My clan’s mark?”
“Yes, your clan’s mark,” the princess looked at him weirdly.
Pointing at the Silverstar Mark on his palm with her gaze, Rex realized what she was talking about before a furrow formed on his forehead, “This isn’t a clan mark, it’s my pack’s mark. If you are marked with this, you will become a part of my pack”
“Pack mark? I never knew such a thing existed” the princess muttered in surprise.
Usually, a Werewolf would have a clan or family mark.
It was bestowed on them at birth, as an identification, and also a power boost.
Despite being intrigued by the unconventional nature of the Silverstar Mark, she shook her head and offered her hand, “It’s fine, mark me with it. My pack hasn’t been awakened yet, and even with your mark, I won’t be a true member of your pack, given that I am the true Alpha of my own”
Surprised by the proposition, Rex decided to go with it.
I think it’s fine, she won’t evolve into a human hybrid since I will not be giving her my blood.
Nodding, he marked the princess on her wrist with the Silverstar Mark.
Almost instantly after that, a notification appeared.
<A Princess has been added to the user’s pack as a temporary member!>
<Bonus stats gained have been doubled to 10%>
Rex was surprised by this.
Looking down at his own body, he could see his muscles and veins contracted a few times.
He could feel his body being forged stronger like steel.
With every addition to his pack, he would gain a 5% increase in overall stats, a fact he knew of from the beginning. However, he never knew that adding a Princess or Prince would give him double the additional stats.
But then again, this is the first time gain a member like the princess.
Is this a way for the System to encourage me to add Prince and Princesses into my pack?
Judging from the increase, this might as well be the case.
Had the System not planned on encouraging him to add more strong members such as a princess or a prince, then it shouldn’t have given him double the stats. Nevertheless, Rex could assume that this was the case.
“What’s happening to you, Royal Black Prince?” the princess asked, seeing this occurrence.
Undisturbed, Rex waved his hand lightly, “Call me Rex. Our standing is practically the same, so there’s no need for you to use formalities. For your question, it’s nothing that you need to worry about”
“If that’s the case, call me Thalia” the princess, Thalia replied, doing a princess bow.
Glancing to the side, Rex found that Adhara was waking up.
Excusing himself to Thalia, he quickly made his way to Adhara to check on her.
Seems like the Luna energy that Calidora possessed, albeit minuscule compared to Evelyn’s Luna energy, was able to heal Adhara enough. Her eyelids trembled for a bit before opening, slowly realizing that Calidora was before her.
At the sight of her, Adhara frowned in complete confusion.
But it was then she realized the soothing, violet energy dancing around Calidora’s body.
“How did you-?”
Observing the Luna energy put Adhara in pure shock.
Having no time to talk about other things aside from the war with Evelyn, she was not aware that Evelyn had lost a portion of her Luna energy. It was simply inconceivable for her to see Calidora, acting as if she was the Luna.
“Don’t think too much, you’re still hurt,” Calidora replied with a flat tone.
Unlike Rex, there was no concern in her eyes.
Just then, before Adhara could say anything else, Rex came and knelt beside her in worry.
“How are you feeling?” He asked tenderly.
Snapping out of her shock, she made eye contact with Rex before she put on a smile.
It hasn’t been that long since the two of them were separated from each other, but it felt like an eternity for Adhara. Now that the situation calmed down, with Dorlus deceased, her eyes began to tear up at the sight of Rex’s face.
“I’m going to be fine, all thanks to Kyran,” Adhara replied softly.
Every word that came out of her mouth made her abdomen sting, but she could manage.
Reaching out her hand to hold Rex’s face, which seemed to be marked with exhaustion, her smile spread wider. A million emotions came rushing towards her like an endless tide before she uttered in a soft whisper, “When I heard from Ryze about your situation, I was afraid for you. I couldn’t sit still, I had to do something—I’m sorry…”
Upon hearing this, Rex shook his head, “It’s alright, all that matters is you’re okay now”
At this point, he couldn’t blame her for this.
If I was in the same shoes—I heard her getting into trouble, then there’s no chance I’m going to stay behind and do nothing. Alas, she might even learn to act like this from me, so there’s really no blaming her.
Moreover, I got Thalia’s help because of this, so this ended up great.
Just as he thought of that, Adhara’s words from earlier echoed inside Rex’s mind loudly.
An exact saying that he heard from his nightmare.
“Rex, I’m scared…”
Subconsciously, this made him tighten his jaw as the fear he felt earlier was very palpable.
Despite wanting to believe that it was a terrifying coincidence, he couldn’t.
It was supposed to not be real, it should be nothing more than a nightmare, but Adhara made it feel very real for him. Following the order in his nightmare, the others would be next. All of them are going to suffer a horrifying fate under the Executor’s lethal hands.
No, I’m not going to let the others join my fight. Fearing what would happen if they joined, Rex has come to a decision.
Swoosh!
Out of nowhere, Rex was surprised to find a small ember of fire landing on Adhara’s chest.
A look of worry adorns its face when it sees Adhara’s condition.
But soon, the small ember, Flamy turned and flickered its fire at Rex in hostility.
“What is it? A Fire Elemental?” Rex muttered with a frown.
Upon seeing Flamy, Adhara’s countenance brightened, and she gently rubbed the small fiery creature with her trembling hand, “It’s a gift from the Fire Elemental. I visited them, but when I was about to leave, this little fella wanted to come with me, and I couldn’t resist bringing it along”
Fire Elemental, huh… I did sense strong fire mana around here, she must’ve gotten stronger.
Nodding his head, Rex suddenly made eye contact with Flamy.
It was then that Flamy went over to Adhara’s cheek and rubbed itself on her.
While Flamy was doing this, Flamy was still keeping eye contact with Rex.
Flamy seemed to be showing and rubbing its affection with Adhara on Rex’s face blatantly.
Looking at this, Rex was for some reason, annoyed by it.
The fuck? Is this small thing actually taunting me for real?
Although he was about to get up since he had no time to waste—forced to manually control his lunar clone when he sensed the others were in trouble, the vein on his face bulged visibly before he reached out, and flicked Flamy forcefully.
His flick sent Flamy rolling across the floor, catching Adhara off guard.
“What was that for?” She bellowed in surprise.
But Rex waved his hand, dismissing what he had done as he didn’t want to talk about it.
Now that it seemed Adhara would be just fine, and the others were also going to be fine— taking into account that while he was checking on Adhara, Caliodora took the initiative to help heal the others, it was time for him to go back to his actual body.
Rex was in the middle of something, and he needed to go back.
On the other hand, Calidora was here for real, she didn’t use a blood clone to be here.
Expecting that the others might be hurt, Rex told her to come to the temple with her actual body. If she sent a blood clone, then she wouldn’t retain the Luna energy, and she wouldn’t be able to heal the others.
Standing on his feet again, he turned to look at Calidora.
“Are you finished healing Kyran and Flunra?” Rex asked, slowly approaching her.
Upon hearing this, Calidora nodded her head.
Looking at the others, she could see that Kyran was healing rapidly while Flunra was still unconscious, but was getting better visibly. Both of them didn’t need help to regenerate, they were going to be fine.
“Are you sure they don’t need your help more?”
“Yes, they will regenerate on their own, it’s going to be fine”
“So, are we done right now…?”
“I don’t know, are we?”
Out of nowhere, tension lingers in the air between them.
But in the next quick second, Rex made a surprising move, catching everyone off-guard.
Swoosh!
Calidora held her breath when she saw a hand reaching for her neck.
Reacting perfectly, she managed to leap back and swat the hand away.
Just when she believed she had evaded danger, she found herself forcefully pinned against the wall. Rex pressed his forearm on her neck with a vicious glint in his eyes—an unexpected and sudden assault.
“Kaahk!” Calidora grunted but had a smile on her face. “I know you’re going to do this”
Upon hearing this, Rex smiled back, “Then don’t resist,”
“Not a chance, I won’t let you do this to me, Rex. Let me come,” Calidora asked.
However, there was no way that she could persuade Rex of this.
Charging his hand with immense moonlight energy, his elemental prowess, and red force, he seemed to be going at it for real. He wasn’t going to underestimate Calidora, aware that she was not someone to be underestimated.
On the other hand, Adhara, Thalia, and Kyran who were watching were confused.
Not one of them expects Rex to attack Calidora.
“What is he doing…?”
