Novel Full Chapter 1222: Servant Lineage
Rex’s commanding eyes swept across the Dark Elves, a light smirk playing on his lips.
Such an interesting suggestion.
He was confused at first as to why Kyran brought these Dark Elves, before him—but now he knew what Kyran was planning. Kyran whispered to him that the Aldri Family before him was the one responsible for hurting Evelyn.
All of them planned to give Evelyn as an offering to the other high-rank Supernatural races.
But as opposed to killing them, Kyran had a better idea.
“I’m planning to make them the servants of our pack to take care of the castle,” He said.
Of course, this suggestion came as a surprise for Rex.
Kyran had matured because of the recent incident and even seemed more reliable now as he could contribute greatly to the problems, the pack faced—but Rex didn’t expect him to reach this point already.
At the suggestion, Rex smiled and asked to test Kyran’s way of thinking, “Is that possible?”
“I’m sure none of them would be willing to do that,” He added.
Looking at the kneeling Dark Elves—Kyran answered, “I crushed the family head, Bevryth’s mentality, and gave way for her husband—the more compliant one to take the lead. He will take the head position as Bevryth will always fear me,”
“I learned this from you, this is what you did to the Platchi Family,” He recounted.
Upon hearing this, the smile on Rex’s lips widened.
Just as he learned in the past, a conquered enemy could be the greatest friend.
Before Rex could say anything—Kyran nudged his chin towards the Dark Elves, and asked, “I want you to look at them in the eyes,” He instructed. “Look into their eyes and tell me, would they even dare to do anything other than try their best to leave a good impression?”
All of the Aldri Family members shared the same look in their eyes.
Rex could feel the fear and dread through their eyes clearly.
Even the bleak energy coming out from them was enormous, creating a massive dark cloud.
From their eyes alone, Rex was convinced that Kyran had taken the necessary steps.
“So, what makes you think of making them our servants?” Rex asked.
Kyran’s mind was swiftly pulled to the time he stood at the platform, acting as an executioner to publicly execute the other affiliated families, that took part in hurting Evelyn, “I saw that all nobles had a direct lineage of servant that served them through generations and I decided to start our own”
As soon as he said that, a notification appeared.

…
Upon hearing this, Rex’s eyes flashed as once again, Kyran triggered the System.
He was surprised to see the rewards were also bountiful.
“Good work, Kyran” Rex finally said as he approached the group of Dark Elves.
On the other hand, Kyran was stunned to hear to compliment coming out of Rex’s mouth, he had rarely, if not never heard that coming from Rex, especially not directed at him. Just from the words alone, he could feel a warm sensation in his chest, they felt really good to hear.
But then, he quickly shook his head, “If I did a good work, what are you doing now?”
“Giving a little touch to your plan, that’s all,” Rex replied leisurely.
Rex went over to the female Dark Elf beside Valthor who was completely trembling.
She could not even raise her gaze to meet with Rex from the very start, facing the floor even when the wall’s gate was opened. It was almost as if looking at Rex’s eyes—would kill her on the spot, and she was doing her best to avoid eye contact.
Even though she tried to stay unnoticed, her demeanor stuck out like a sore thumb.
Maybe for others, she could be unnoticed, but not to Rex’s sharp senses.
As opposed to confronting Bevryth, the actual head family, Rex turned to Valthor instead.
“You… You’re the one who hurt Evelyn, didn’t you?” He asked raspingly.
Upon hearing this, Valthor’s entire body stiffened but he still forced herself to reply, “Y-Yes”
Nodding his head, Rex creates a distortion of energy around them.
A method to make their conversation private.
“Do you love your kingdom?”
“Yes,”
“And your people?”
“I do”
“Kyran suggested you and your family to become a servant family of my pack—what do you think about that?”
“If that’s the price to be forgiven, then we will serve you to the end of our lives”
Rex scoffed when he heard his answer, he heard nothing but empty words that came out.
“I have many enemies who wanted to kill me and those I cared about—however, not a lot of them managed to achieve what you have achieved,” Rex said, slightly impressed. “But even then, I still do not see you as an enemy, and I want to forgive you. I showed that by sending Kyran to punish you,”
Listening to this, Valthor sweated as he didn’t see that through Kyran at all.
‘How is sending Kyran a display that he wanted to forgive us? All I see is death instead’
Noticing a slight crease on Valthor’s forehead, Rex knew exactly what he thought.
In response, Rex chuckled lightly before he commanded, “Raise your head and look at me,”
Despite his hesitance, Valthor obeyed and looked up.
However, in the next second when he saw Rex’s gleaming
As soon as he looked up, however, Valthor gasped in utter shock, his breath catching in his throat. Before him was a sight more terrifying than death itself. He was met with Rex’s eyes which were gleaming crimson, radiating violence and cruelty beyond measure.
Each one of the horrors of his past deeds was etched in those eyes.
In the world of Dark Elves, people often said that the eyes reflected the soul.
And what Valthor saw in Rex’s eyes was a nightmarish sea of endless blood.
Just the sight of Rex’s eyes brings him to a harrowing clarity, a realization of a grave aspect.
“Do not be mistaken,” Rex said, donning a crazed, maniacal look. “If I want to make you and your feeble family suffer, I wouldn’t have sent Kyran as the punished. I am much worse than Kyran or anyone under my reign,”
Upon hearing this, Valthor’s fearful eyes averted down as his entire body trembled in fear.
“So I want you to be sincere,” Rex ended with an expectant look.
He even took down the energy distortion encasing them.
Valthor was momentarily stunned, paralyzed by fear, but he quickly recovered and crawled to Rex’s left foot, his body bent, and slouched. He then bowed further, clutching Rex’s foot reverently, “As a representative, of the Aldri Family, we humbly accept the responsibility of becoming direct servants, to the esteemed Silverstar Pack. Our entire lineage—will forever serve and be of service to you”
“Please accept our pledge of loyalty, to you…” He continued before kissing Rex’s left foot.

Only then did Rex smile and turn around, “Tell Linthia to make their arrangements”
“It’s a menial task, why don’t I let that Succubus handle this small thing? I should be clearing the surrounding forest again,” Kyran asked back—striking a sharp glance at Mavenna as she seemed to be free.
Upon hearing this, Mavenna rebutted, “What?! I’m tired, no way! Rex, don’t let me do it!”
“I told you to address His Majesty properly…” Kyran added, his expression darkens.
Seeing them both bickering in front of the Dark Elves, Rex stood at the center and waved his hand, “I’ll let her call me what she wants, she helped back against the Fifthborn, so I’ll let her call me whatever she wants” He said, looking at Kyran.
Finding that Rex was defending her, Mavenna hid behind him and smiled tauntingly at Kyran.
Not even stopping at that, she sticks out her tongue to annoy him even more.
Kyran could feel rage building within him as he tried to keep a straight face despite the veins in his neck sticking out, and seemingly wanting to explode. He wanted to slap Mavenna right on her face but couldn’t, and the sensation was killing him.
But then, Rex turned to Mavenna, “Don’t think you’re out of the woods yet, Mavenna,”
“Kyran is right, you’re the weak one here, so go and bring them to Linthia” He added.
“Ehhh…?” Mavenna’s expression flushed in exhaustion when she heard this. “Do I really have to? I mean, he could bring these Dark Elves to Linthia on his way out to clear the forest. I am not necessary, I could stick to you and watch you do your thing”
“Do you want to bless all of the plants for the second time again?” Rex raised an eyebrow.
Upon hearing this, Mavenna’s eyes widened.
A flash crossed her mind, the days she spent blessing the newly planted plants, so that they could grow faster with her unique demonic energy. Just the thought of it made her gulp, she would do anything other than that.
“I’ll bring the Dark Elves to Linthia right this instant!” Mavenna replied and scurried away.
She went and told the Dark Elves to stand up and led them outside.
On the other hand, Kyran also decided to leave to see if there was anyone needing his help.
If not then he would check the forest one more time before going back to train.
“Oh, Kyran, absorb this slowly when you have the time,” Rex said, handing a Moon Sphere.
Kyran accepted the Moon Sphere and nodded without any question.
He trusted Rex enough to know that this item wouldn’t harm him, it’ll only make him stronger.
Just as the others left, Rex sighed and shook his head.
Now that Kyran surprisingly came to help again, providing him with the Honey Sense item, it would not be hard to find the mutated falcon again. He could use the Honey Sense to locate its position and take it down for good this time.
But before he could do that, he suddenly noticed something.
Glancing down from the bridge, he found that the mutated snake was not moving.
It was usually rowdy, trying to break out of its confine but it stopped now.
Moreover, it seemed fixated on a specific direction, and as Rex found it odd he followed its gaze to the left side of the castle walls, where his eyes narrowed, as he spotted a creature there, perched on the castle walls.
A creature that bypassed his senses fully, a mutated owl with black furs and blue eyes.
Even the guards stationed on the walls didn’t seem to notice its arrival.
Scanning with the System he found that it was a mutated animal—but for some reason, this mutated animal didn’t attack anyone and only stared directly at Rex. Considering the cursed energy in the Humming Damned Forest, all mutated animals should be feral.
However, this one broke the stereotype and only stood there.
I feel the air around this creature is different. It even bypassed the castle’s barrier, weird.
Frowning, Rex dashed at the mutated owl in an attempt to catch it but it faded away.
Some of the guards who were standing firmly were startled when they saw Rex suddenly— out of nowhere landing on the walls. Before they could ask, their eyes saw the mutated owl on the side, now perched on the edge of the hill.
“Don’t follow me, keep alert and protect the castle,” Rex commanded sternly.
Upon hearing this, the guards stopped in their tracks.
Rex continued trying to catch the mutated owl, but every single time without fail, even when he tried even harder—the mutated owl managed to fade and reappear a distance away from him.
Despite the surprising agility, Rex looked around and realized where he was.
He was now already at the east wall of the city.
“It’s trying to lure me somewhere,” He mused inwardly. “Fine, I’ll bite this obvious move”
Just like that, Rex entered the forest and was led deep inside.
