Chapter 116: Stone Tablet
Meanwhile,
Prof.K is currently in his lab studying a mutated beast, he’s wearing a lab coat and he looks serious as he dissects the mutated beast.
The lab is a mess and it reeks with an unpleasant smell that filled the room.
There is a little mutated fox tied to the metallic table, he’s looking around the fox’s inside when suddenly.
Poof!
Prof.K accidentally poked a hole on one of its insides, it suddenly spits weird energy.
He stumbles back a couple of steps, the weird energy clings onto him like a koala, and doesn’t want to let go.
Then suddenly, “What? This is Marvelous”, he said excitedly.
Because of the weird energy, Prof.K suddenly got fazed as many of his loved ones appeared in his vision.
“Interesting, this little guy surprisingly can emit an energy that can make its enemy delusional”, Prof.K mumbles.
The weird energy can even make Prof.K delusional even though he’s using a lab mask.
He then disperses the weird energy from his body as his vision return to normal, “What a strong energy, this is simply a new discovery!”
Just as he celebrated his new discovery, he suddenly remembered something.
‘The recruitment ritual is about to begin, I forgot to tell those kids’, he thought when suddenly the door to his lab is opened.
The red messenger enters his lab abruptly.
Prof.K looks at him with a questioning look, “What are you doing here?”
“I don’t mean to interrupt your research but you have to look at this”, the red messenger said as he shows a video on a tablet.
Prof.K looks at the video as his eyes widened in surprise.
“Yes, he’s indeed an Awakened. You need to address this yourself”, the red messenger said.
Hearing this, Prof.K frowns, ‘I know that he’s not an Awakened during our first meeting, so he must be Awakened recently’
He then suddenly remembers, ‘That time, when he fought the Werewolf’
After remembering this, Prof.K pushed the red messenger to the side as he left his lab with hurried steps.
He went straight to an office on the top-most floor,
Prof.K knocked on the door gently before a voice greeted him, “Come in!”
Entering the room, Prof. K saw Jax sitting on his chair while looking at a few reports in his hands.
“Jax, about the…”, Prof.K said but before he can finish.
Jax cuts him, “You’re asking me about the Awakened kid on your team? What you should do about him?”
Hearing this, Prof.K nodded his head.
Jax puts the reports in his hands down before a mysterious smile crept on his face,

Two days passed,
These couple of days are spent by Rex resting and taking a walk because tomorrow he will go back to Ochyra University.
Yesterday Rosie’s parents congratulated him and accept Rex to be Rosie’s boyfriend officially, and on that day marks the end of the deal with Rosie.
This night will be the night where Rex turns Adhara into a full-fledged Werewolf.
Rex also already got his rewards from the Sudden Quest, he leveled up to level 22 and he puts his attributable stats into his mental stats.
Because Mental will not increase every time he levels up, he decided to increase it using attributable stats.
From the rewards of the Sudden Quest, Rex is mostly excited with the Black Devil Gloves.
He’s currently walking in the 2E sector while looking at his inventory,

“They say that the Museum here is the best out of all sectors in Ratmawati City, we should check it out”, Adhara said.
Hearing this, Rex’s interest got piqued.
He then nodded before all of them went to the museum.
Arriving at the museum, Rex is marveled at the sight of the huge museum in the center of sector 2E with many people coming in and out of it.
The museum is an outdoor spacious place, some of its items can be seen through the streets as it works in a temple-based manner.
There are three temples of the museum and only two of them are available for the public.
Rex went to the entrance, he wanted to pay for their entrance but upon seeing Rex’s face, the woman selling the museum ticket said that he didn’t have to pay.
Hearing this, Rex wanted to insist but got declined.
He then thanked the woman before they enter the museum,
The first temple of the museum is the most crowded and this is where weapons, writings, and even spellbooks made by famous Pioneers that are already dead are displayed.
It makes the other excited, and so is Rex.
Rex glance around the room as he scans each item one by one.
He found that all the items here are at least in the same ranking as his Whiro’s Necklace of Fear which makes him surprised.
The first temple is a general place that consists of items made by famous people or used by famous people, all of it has a history worthy enough to put in this museum.
After looking around the first temple, they went to the second temple.
The second temple is where the fun part lies.
Rex enters the second temple,
The second temple takes a huge chunk of the entire museum because this temple consists of high-ranking Supernatural carcasses.
“Whoa, look at this place”, Adhara said as her eyes flashed in excitement.
Hera and Rosie also widened their eyes in surprise but they’re unusually quiet today, especially Rosie who hasn’t open her mouth all this while.
Just after entering the second temple, Rex is greeted by a huge carcass on his right. ‘
It is put in a bubble-shaped glass that is enhanced by a protection rune, and even so, Rex can still feel the carcass’s energy.
There is a description in front of it,
“Ala the Demon of Storm – This supernatural belonging to the Demon race destroyed 12 major cities killing 30 Million humans before Martin Roger fights it for 3 days and 2 nights and ending its terror”
Rex read this as he looks back to the carcass in horror, ’30 Million lives? Such a powerful Supernatural’
The Demon is humanoid and its hair is made of black spikes, a weird tattoo covers all of its body, and its body radiate with energy when suddenly,
CRACK!!
Lightning suddenly flashes around the Demon’s body before it got blocked by a barrier around it.
Rex’s group and the other visitor jumped in shock.
The thundering sound was so loud that even the other visitor on the first temple can hear it, the sound makes their eardrums ring madly.
The guard who’s a standby in the room said, “It’s okay everyone, it’s the everlasting mana of the demon that sometimes can create this thundering sound”
Hearing this, the visitor looks at the demon with fear.
To actually still possess mana even in death greatly shocked them.
Rex glance at the carcass with a frown, ‘If I want to eradicate Supernatural then I need to kill these kinds of Supernatural’
There is a history description below the short introduction but Rex didn’t read it, he went to the next Supernatural.
In the next place, there is another huge Supernatural carcass.
It is a dragon that spans 500 feet from its head to its tail! Its huge body makes Rex and the others look extremely tiny in comparison.
Rex walks around the dragon in awe, the room temperature is very high.
Some of the normal people that wanted to see the dragon need to use a protection bracelet from the guards because of how high the temperature is.
The dragon is red in color and it is chained on the ground by many huge chains imbued with a terrifying amount of mana, there’s also a huge hole in the center of its chest.
The mana emitted by the chains is so thick that even normal people can see it.
“Kaiser the Bringer of Destruction – Belongs to the Dragonman race, it wreaks havoc in 30 cities across the globe killing 80 million people. Its fire breath can melt even the strongest Metal. Kaiser was killed by 8 powerful Awakened from the Ice Angel Guild”
Reading this, Rex is surprised.
Not because of how many lives Kaiser takes but because of the guild who killed it, ‘Isn’t that the guild where Laura got recruited?’
He then smiles, ‘At least she got into a great guild’
Moving onto the next Supernatural,
The vibe suddenly becomes eerie as if Rex and the others are walking to a powerful Supernatural that is still alive.
“I don’t feel so good”, Hera and Rosie said at the same time.
Hearing this, Rex looks at both of them with a frown, ‘What kind of Supernatural can cause this? to be this threatening even after death’
Upon entering the last chamber of the second temple,
Rex is greeted by a small room that is not as big as the others, in fact, it is really small.
He then glances to his right and saw two eyeballs displayed on the glass, it is normal sized but its pupil and iris are pure red with weird runes rotating in it.
It is still moving left and right creepily.
“Vampiric Eyes of Terror – Ludris is a vampire that possesses these eyes. Ludris went berserk after drinking the blood of a woman, he then went rampage and kill ten rank 8 Awakened. The day he went on a rampage is remembered as the Crimson Massacre in respect for the dead Awakened”
Reading this, Rex was also surprised.
‘It seems it gets more powerful the deeper it goes’, Rex thought.
He reads the history description and saw the story of the woman’s friend that got killed by Ludris.
“There are many Awakened but Ludris aims at my friend, he ignored the other Awakened as if he’s obsessed by my friend. After days of running from Ludris with the help of the Awakened, we notice one thing. Every time Ludris got close, my friend’s nose will start to bleed”
‘What a terrifying story, to be targetted by a Supernatural that can kill 10 high-ranking Awakened is a real-life nightmare’, Rex thought.
The girls are also reading the description and they felt their spine tingle.
They can’t imagine if they’re in the woman’s position, it makes them all shake their head.
After seeing through the second temple, Rex got even more curious about the third temple.
He approaches the guards guarding the third temple and said, “Can I take a quick look? I’m an Awakened so I think I’ll be okay”
The guard glance at Rex before their eyes widened, “Sir Rex! Please go ahead and look around”, the guard said politely.
‘Winning the tournament sure is convenient’, Rex thought.
He then walks inside the third temple followed by the girls who are also curious about the third temple.
Unlike the other temple, the third temple is a spacious circular hall.
From entering the hall, there is a long red carpet leading to the center of the hall.
In the center of a hall lies a stone tablet inside a glass that is facing the other way, there are four big white hooded statues on each corner of the hall.
The writings on the stone tablet can’t be seen because it’s facing the other way.
Rex follows the carpet, judging by how it is displayed Rex knows that this thing inside the glass box is not ordinary.
He went around the glass box to see the thing when suddenly,
TING!!
Upon getting a glance at the stone tablet writing inside the glass box, his eyes suddenly started to bleed uncontrollably.
Blood came out of his eyes, it doesn’t take a long time before it started to drip on the floor.
It came out of nowhere, it was so painful that even Rex himself fall to his knee. It was akin to getting stabbed repeatedly in his eyes as his body started to tremble.
Without even delaying for a second, Rex approach Adhara using what little vision he has left and hugs her, “Don’t see it, you’ll die”, he whispers.
