Chapter 246: Accepting and Becoming Reliable
“Tell me who she is, or you won’t see 5:31”, Rex said with a low tone.
Rex’s heavy tone indicates that he’s serious about what he said, there’s no remorse on his face, only anger can be seen clearly on his face.
Hearing this, Clarice’s body trembled even more.
Her shoulders, her mouth, her hands, and even her legs are shaking greatly.
As if she’s in a low-temperature place, her body trembles uncontrollably but rather than the low temperature, this was caused by the invisible pressure around her throat.
There’s a predator in front of her, and it’s going to kill her.
BAM!
“Hah!”, Clarice jumped in shock.
Rex punched the wall right beside her face as his body crack with black lightning.
Because of the rune, Rex put inside this room specifically, none of his elemental aura leaked out of the room so he’s free to do whatever he pleases.
Adhara slowly opened her eyes hearing the banging sound.
She wakes up on the bed and look in the sound direction and found Rex there with Clarice backed up against the wall.
The fear on her face can be seen from miles away.
“Don’t think I won’t dare to kill you here, all I will get is only a scold from the university while you will die here meaninglessly”, Rex said coldly.
This makes Clarice’s legs weak in fright,
Adhara who saw this scene from the side approached them.
She wanted to ask why Rex is doing this but Rex’s expression frightens her, it’s the same expression Rex used during the Yule Moon or any other time that he’s very angry.
The words that were about to come out stuck on Adhara’s throat.
Rex then glance at his phone again before he whispers, “The clock is ticking”
After getting cornered by Rex, and getting overwhelmed by the fear of dying.
Clarice finally said, “I-I’ll t-tell you, f-forgive me”, she stutters as tears rolled down her eyes feeling that the death god is stroking her back.
Hearing this, Rex looks at her signaling to explain.
“S-she threatened me by kidnapping my niece, I’m sorry”, Clarice said shakily.
Rex frowns upon hearing this before he asks, “Who sent her here? and Why is she here?”
“I- I don’t know…”, Clarice said meekly.
BAM!!
Once again Rex punched the wall beside her creating a crack on the wall, he was fuming in anger waiting for Clarice to tell him the truth.
Clarice slid down the wall in fright,
In a fit of anger, Rex glared at Clarice before he grab her neck roughly and lifts her up.
“TELL ME!!”, Rex shouted angrily as he squeezed her neck brutally.
Looking at this, Adhara steps forwards and held Rex’s right arm that was about to snap Clarice’s neck softly, “Calm down, let her talk. She will talk”, she said trying to calm Rex down.
Rex kept squeezing Clarice’s neck angrily as her face turns red gasping for air.
After a moment, Rex finally let Clarice go as she fall to the ground while holding her neck.
Cough! Cough!
Clarice coughed a couple of times as saliva dripped from her mouth,
From that experience alone, Clarice realized that Rex is not joking about killing her and if not for Adhara she might just die right there.
Adhara then rubs Clarice’s back lightly and said, “Stop hiding it and just tell him”
Although Adhara doesn’t know what is going on, she roughly knows that Rex wanted Clarice to tell him something but Clarice is not being open.
Hearing this, Clarice then said strugglingly, “S-She only tell m-me to bring her here”
Her voice is hoarse because of Rex almost crushing her neck, “Who is she?”, Rex asks sharply.
Clarice then crawls towards Rex’s feet and puts her head on Rex’s feet while saying repeatedly, “Forgive me Sir, Rex! That’s all I know I swear!”
“That’s all I know…”
“Please…”
“Please…”
Looking at Clarice begging for his life, Rex scoffs lightly.
The one thing that he despised the most are people that try to endanger those close to him, he won’t forgive such an act and he definitely won’t trust that person ever again.
Rex then squats down before grabbing Clarice’s hair and pulling it back.
“You said they kidnap your niece right?”, Rex whispers coldly.
He then added angrily, “When I kill that maid, I will rescue your niece from their hands and bring her back to you”
Clarice’s expression turns soft hearing this, but it didn’t last long.
“Then, I will kill your niece right in front of you”, Rex said brutally before he let go of her hair roughly as she started to sob.
She then starts pleading, “Please sir Rex, I won’t do it again… Please!!”
But Rex didn’t want to hear all of it as he exit the room,
Clarice’s cries got dimmed after he closed the door again, while Adhara is standing frozen in place while looking at Clarice’s sorry state.
After getting out of his room, Rex glance at his surrounding.
Stuart can be seen standing on the side idly before giving a smile towards him,
Rex then looks around again trying to find Kyran to no avail, he can’t find him anywhere making him frown in concern, “Where is Kyran?”, Rex asks Stuart.
“He’s inside his room with the new maid”, Stuart replied politely.
Hearing this, Rex went towards Kyran’s room hurriedly fearing that something might’ve happened to him.
But upon entering the room, Rex widened his eyes in shock.
Inside Kyran’s room, he saw the new maid is strapped on a chair weakly as her body is bathed with her own blood.
The blood creates a puddle around the chair, and her face is very bruised.
Rex didn’t expect to see this scene at all, he even got worried for a moment knowing that Kyran is inside the room with this new maid.
“You’re done with Clarice?”, Kyran asks nonchalantly.
Kyran is standing in front of the new maid with his back towards Rex,
There are bloodstains all over his white clothes and hands, he’s currently cleaning his hand with a white cloth nonchalantly with a smile.
Rex snapped out of his daze and said, “When I give you a look, I’m saying to keep an eye on her”
“I didn’t expect you manage to handle her on your own, Even by being a Dark Elementalist I didn’t expect you to be this strong”, Rex added in disbelief.
Hearing this, Kyran chuckles, “When you said to me before to get strong”
“I already expected you would say that after Adhara told me that what you care the most is power, so as you wanted I train myself to be strong”, he added with a cheeky mile.
A slight smile appeared on Rex’s face hearing this.
Although this day is a bad day knowing that there’s a mole in his room,
What Kyran said makes Rex quite amused and happy, a piece of good news came to ease his anger and it unexpectedly came from Kyran.
Rex then approached the new maid before he grabbed her face,
The new maid is really weak, she just lets her face get grabbed and tossed aside by Rex without any feedback.
He then sits on the bed before glancing at the new maid brutally.
“Who sent you?”, Rex asks calmly.
Hearing this, the new maid glanced at Rex mockingly before she spits blood towards him but it got stopped by Rex’s force barrier.
It didn’t manage to stain Rex,
Rex chuckles lightly, “I’m going to ask one more time, Who sent you?”
Even after the second time, the new maid only smiles cheekily without any sign of wanting to answer Rex’s question.
Seeing this, Rex bought something from the shop.
He takes out a serum that he bought from the shop, it’s called Pain Amplifier Level 2.
Just like the name of the item stated, the Pain Amplifier Level 2 is an item that will amplify any pain feeling to anyone who gets injected by it.
It’s surprisingly cheap for such an amazing item, it costs 50 gold.
Rex then stands up and walk slowly towards the new maid, “If you think that it’s not going to get any worse, then you’re dead wrong”
But when he was about to inject the item, Kyran stopped him.
Looking at this, Rex glance at Kyran with a questioning look and said, “What are you doing?”
“You’re the Alpha, Let me be the one to do the dirty things. I’ll make sure to extract the information out of her, trust me”, Kyran said assuringly.
Hearing this, Rex chuckles, “You’re right, just don’t kill her”
“I’ll be the one killing her”, Rex said before giving the serum to Kyran.
Although he can let Kyran kill the new maid, he can’t pass up on an early rank five Awakened that will give a considerable exp.
After that, Rex left the room as Kyran prepares for the torture.
But just when he left the room, there’s a smile on his face, ‘He’s becoming more reliable than I thought’

“As you can see in the footage here, Eqosa City siege against the Vampires and the Undead are still ongoing to this day”
“The Cessation Knight and the guilds have been battling the Supernatural day and night with hardly any rest, the undead numbering in thousands started to attack the city while the Vampires are grouped together all over the battlefield taking many casualties using the blood that is splattered around the battlefield as weapons”
“Our Hero, Denzel Rogers has been fighting on the battlefield alongside the Cessation Knight but five Royal Vampires are stalling him. The battle on Eqosa City becomes dire”
“The FAA strategist has stated that the Supernatural is aiming to conquer Eqosa City thanks to its terrain. Eqosa City is built on a hill which makes the place very hard to be attacked without aerial attack. Many levels four cities are also around which will be turned into a food supply for them”
“We can only hope and pray that humanity will prevail on this fight”
“Next up we got-“
The news presenter gave a summary about the current war while giving footage of the war, it can be seen clearly that the situation is dire.
A horde of Supernatural attacked Eqosa City,
The horde is led by the Vampires and the Undead, many other lesser or lower ranking Supernatural is also a majority numbering in thousands.
While the news presenter kept going,
Sebrof turns off the hologram tv angrily as he stares at three people in front of him.
One of the people in front of Sebrof is Vargas, this indicates the other two have the same standing and authority as Vargas.
They’re all important backbone of humanity,
“How can this happen? Where is the military when we needed them the most?!”, Sebrof shouted angrily, the UWO will get blamed for this if they didn’t handle this mistake fast.
The three people in front of Sebrof standstill, but they also frown in thought.
One of them then replied, “I got a report from War General Zach, he said that the military can’t get to Eqosa City because the Supernatural intercept their moves”
“They got attacked by the Supernatural, and they’re forced to retreat”, he added.
PRANG!!
Sebrof grabs a cup on his table before smashing it onto the wall as it shatters to pieces, the news that he just received didn’t help at all.
But then, another added, “Sir Sebrof, Although Eqosa City is in a dire state. My men in Putland City reported that they manage to push back the Supernatural, we manage to analyze the Blue Demons ability and use it to counter them”
Hearing this, Sebrof looks at the man in surprise, “Explain”
The man then steps forward before he put a circle object on the table before it shot out a hologram, a blue demon hologram appeared on top of the circle object.
“The Blue Demons might not differ from the Red Demons in a lower rank, but upon entering the fifth rank and above they become massively different. This is the blue-winged demon, they possess highly powerful blue fire attacks but they lack the physical combat ability that of a red-winged demon”, the man explained.
Sebrof nodded his head in understanding, “So you mean the blue demons are more based on magic attacks, while the red demons are physical?”
“You’re correct”, the man replied politely.
This makes Sebrof nod his head in confirmation, “Make sure to kick the Supernatural from Putland City, and you two go and figure out to maintain Eqosa City”, he said while looking at Vargas and another person beside him.
“Dismissed”, Sebrof said before the two saluted and wanted to leave.
But then, Vargas suddenly said, “Sir, I have a solution that you might not like but it’s worth considering”
Hearing this, Sebrof signals Vargas to continue.
“I got a proposal, and it has something to do with banding together with the UWO”, Vargas said while inspecting Sebrof’s expression that turns into a frown.
