Chapter 465 Plead Gone Wrong
Rex stretches his arms to the side with his claws dripping with the blood of the Shapeshifter, there’s a taunting smile on his face while he looks at Elinaya.
With quivering lips and trembling body, Elinaya can’t mutter any words much less move.
Since the one that got influenced by her power was an illusion that only has 40% of Rex’s power, Elinaya’s senses are alert not because of Rex’s power but because of the Mythical Presence. This makes him able to look as if he’s very fast in front of the two.
In reality, It was the Mythical Presence that made them sloppy in reacting.
But even with the Mythical Presence, Elinaya manages to react fast enough to stop the illusion’s movement and puts it under a spell. She becomes cocky and upon seeing the real Rex, her entire being shook as if she was looked down by a monstrous creature.
Even calling Rex monstrous should be an understatement, he’s more than monstrous.
Seeing that she doesn’t do anything but tremble on her spot, Rex walks slowly towards her. With each step, his aura becomes heavier and heavier. It didn’t take long before Elinaya’s legs becomes jelly making her slide to the ground.
Stomp!
Elinaya looks up as Rex stands towering in front of her.
The Silver Eye slowly appeared in Rex’s hand, he takes the silver sword he bought out from the inventory. A blue light slowly cloaked the Silver Eye while Rex his eyes on Elinaya. A subtle trembling sound can be heard, the Silver Eye started to be cloaked with Lunar Light.
If she made any sudden move then her head will roll to the ground.
With the addition of light mana into the Silver Eye, this weapon becomes a Supernatural slayer. Light element has holy properties that hurt nocturnal creatures like most Supernatural, it’s one of the reasons why Rex choose light as his second element.
But when Rex positioned the Silver Eye holding it with both arms intending to kill Elinaya, she suddenly snap out of her daze and shouted, “Wait! Don’t kill me!”
“Why would I do that?”, Rex replied with a scoff.
Elinaya saw the Silver Eye imbued with Lunar Light mana and feel its energy, she won’t be able to survive a swing of that sword. She will instantly die. Upon looking back at Rex, his expression clearly shows that he doesn’t have the slightest bit of showing mercy.
She then quickly added lest Rex strikes her, “I can be your Luniera!”
“Luniera?”, Rex mutters in confusion.
Upon seeing Rex lower down his sword in thought, Elinaya then added again trying everything she can to stay alive, “I know that you’re a new Prince so you might not know this, Luniera is a Prince’s mistress when the Luna is unable to satisfy the Prince or having other troubles. Werewolf Prince and Succubus has great relation, many of the Princes has at least one Succubus as their Luniera”
“How about it? I can satisfy your lust whenever you want in exchange for sparing my life. I know you haven’t met your Luna yet, so this is a win-win”, she added.
Rex looks at Elinaya with a blank expression
Elinaya tries to show off her seductive body for Rex. As a Succubus, she inherently has a very tempting body that of a vixen. Every inch of her is made to satisfy a man’s dream and of course, suck the life out of them.
Her wings even flap gently with her rosy face gazing at Rex expectantly.
But at the next second,
Stab!!
Rex thrust the silver sword into Elinaya’s stomach with one clean motion, dark smoke started coming out of her stabbed stomach. Her eyes widen when she feels a slight pain in her stomach, she looks down before she realized that she just has been stabbed.
The lunar light mana seeped into her body, it started hurting a little at first but in the next second, “RAARGH!! TAKE IT OUT!!”, Elinaya shouted, her body feels like its on fire.
Without even a hint of empathy, Rex stabbed the sword deeper.
Elinaya wanted to grab the Silver Eye to stop it but she can’t even get her hands close enough to it, her hands can only tremble while she looks at the Silver Eye stabbing deeper into her.
After the entire blade of the sword is embedded into Elinaya, Rex grabbed her head ruthlessly.
“Did you really think you filthy Succubus can take advantage of my lust? You ask for mercy but you still try to exploit me?”, Rex mutters while glaring at Elinaya with his red eyes.
Elinaya looks at Rex with a painful gaze, “I-I’m not… T-Tryin to exploit you”
“Still, I’m not interested. I got plenty already”, Rex replied with a grin. After saying that, Rex then looks at the silver sword that is still stabbing her.
“If you want to live then you will lead me to Delarosa Family’s territory”, Rex said coldly.
Hearing this, Elinaya grits her teeth powerfully. Her veins slowly turn black and are visible from the outside thanks to the Silver Eye, it restricted her power like a seal that keeps on burning her body endlessly.
Although with extreme difficulty, Elinaya replied, “Y-You’re going to kill me either way”
“Well, It doesn’t matter whether you believe me or not. I don’t mind killing you right now, it’s your choice”, Rex said nonchalantly, he doesn’t care which one Elinaya chooses. He has a map, but he only marks the territory just like what the Vampire that Kyran tortured before said.
Rex doesn’t know the exact location of the Delarosa Family territory, being led by Elinaya that certainly knows the place will make him reach the place faster.
“So, Elinaya… Which one will it be?”
Meanwhile,
Kyran is on top of a tree branch hiding in the darkness with his black spear in hand.
The black spear is a weapon that has been given to him, Rex said that the black spear is called the Spear of Pain. Kyran feels that despite the size of the black spear he can swing it effortlessly, he even feels like he can swing it faster than his dagger before.
Aside from that, not only does the black spear compliments his spirit and dark element, but it also has an additional effect. Each time the same opponent got hit by the Spear of Pain, the pain inflicted will always increase.
No matter if Kyran manages to stab through them with the black spear or even a light cut, everything will be stacked and the pain will increase exponentially.
While hiding on a tree branch, Kyran sensed three Supernaturals approaching.
From the aura these three Supernaturals emitted, they’re only in the fourth rank. Way weaker than Kyran. Even the current Ryze can take care of these Supernaturals without any prior battle experience since he had already turned into a Dragonman.
After a moment, two burly horned creatures followed by another burly bloated creature appear.
Kyran looks at these creatures and realized that two of them are minotaurs judging from their buffalo-like horns and brown fur, while the other one is an Ogre that is holding a big tree trunk.
The three of them head to the Dark Pixy sound direction.
But just as they started to near the direction of the Dark Pixy’s screams, black energy flew past them before out of nowhere the three of them falls to the ground roughly.
Swiftly, Kyran swings the black spear in a crescent manner cutting off their legs.
This happened so fast that they doesn’t even feel any pain from their severed legs yet, when their pain receptors were about to work Kyran already flashes again and killed the three of them by slashing their necks.
Immediately after that, Kyran rolls to the side before a huge club lands on the ground.
Another Ogre appeared but Kyran already sensed it way before it manage to even sense Kyran, he stop rolling before he throws the black spear powerfully.
Swish!
Crack!
The black spear pierced through the Ogre’s chest before pinning it on a tree.
Because of the disparity in their strength, Kyran killed four Supernaturals easily. Not only does his power is in the sixth rank realm, but his senses are too sensitive to get ambushed.
Just after he killed the Supernatural, Kyran glanced to the side sensing something.
Raah!!
Out of nowhere a Supernatural in a ghostly form appears from thin air and attacked Kyran, but he’s too alert to get ambushed. Kyran turns his hands into claws before his eyes gleam like a predator.
Using his claws, Kyran swiped the astral creature dispersing it instantly.
Not long after, a dozen of these Astral Creatures appeared from all sides trying to attack Kyran but his reflex is too insane as he clawed each one of them nimbly. His movement is near perfect thanks to his senses, even an attack from his back got dodged easily.
This makes Kyrans seem to have an eye on the back, but this is purely using his senses alone.
Raah!
Kyran clawed another ghostly creature before he straighten his back when he realized that there was none left, he was about to take his black spear but he suddenly sensed an object on his back.
Swoosh!
Even without looking at the object, Kyran knows that it’s an arrow.
His eyes glint fiercely turning around in a blink of an eye, the arrow that is imbued with weird dark brown energy is heading towards him but he manages to catch it.
On the tree branch that is not far from him, there is a hooded creature with a bow.
Without a pause after catching the arrow, Kyran spins his body following the arrow’s momentum before he threw the arrow right back to the hooded creature.
Upon seeing this, the hooded creature widen its eyes before the arrow stabbed its forehead.
Thud!
The creature’s body falls to the ground with a thud after getting an arrow piercing in the middle of its forehead, Kyran swiftly takes care of the Supernaturals here. Each of his attacks almost seems scripted, he knows everything that was about to happen.
He takes the black spear that still pins the Ogre on a tree before he looks at the hooded creature, it’s a Dark Elf but it’s no match for Kyran.
“It’s finished, let’s go back to Rex”, he mutters to himself but then suddenly,
Kyran sensed another creature behind him but this one’s movement is very fast, it already stands behind him even before he manages to turn around.
His heart thumps faster feeling that this one is different.
Swoosh!
Using all of his power, Kyran swings his black spear to his back trying to hit whatever the thing behind him was but his black spear was stopped with a touch of its hand.
This utterly shocked Kyran, it scares him a bit.
“Kyran, it’s me…”
Hearing this, Kyran realized that it turns out to be Rex in his Werewolf form.
The alertness he felt since he’s inside the Supernatural territory makes him think that every time he sensed someone should be an enemy, he’s too alert to realize that it’s Rex.
Rex slowly turns back into his human form while holding Kyran’s black spear.
“You scared me!”, Kyran said while retracting back his black spear, and this made Rex chuckles seeing that Kyran’s face is very pale because of his sudden arrival.
After calming his drumming heart, Kyran then saw Rex is holding something.
But he soon realized that Rex is holding the Succubus he saw before that is guarding the scouting post with the Shapeshifter, he’s holding her by the head like a trash bag with the Silver Eye still stabbing through her stomach.
Even Kyran finds that Elinaya is in agony judging from her popping veins that are black.
She even moans in pain every time Rex’s hand moves, but Rex doesn’t seem to be bothered by this as he ruthlessly holds Elinaya by her head, “I got us a guide”
“The others should be that way, let’s go”, he added before dashing in a direction.
Hearing this, Kyran was stunned for a moment, ‘A Guide?’, he thought. But he soon shakes his head and went after Rex fearing that he will be left alone here.
After reuniting with the others, they resume their journey to the Vampire Territory.
Pale Red Crossline is a place that marks the start of the Vampire Terriroty that leads to Delarosa Family territory, it’s marked with a huge reddish tree from its trunks all the way to its leaves that weirdly enough contain blood. At a glance, it looks like an ordinary conifer huge tree, but it’s clearly not.
The tree’s roots can be seen from above inside the ground, it’s completely red and filled the entire ground in a couple of miles radius. Even Rex and the others can see that the roots have blood flowing in them, it’s weird.
Almost as if the roots have the anatomy of a human.
“Yuck… This is really weird”, Evelyn mutters while looking at the ground.
The ground they’re standing on is surprisingly squishy unlike actual ground, it feels like walking on a giant marshmallow. But when she puts just a bit of pressure on the ground using her feet, the roots in the ground break, and the ground started to bleed.
Adhara and Kyran also try it themselves and just like when Evelyn did it, the ground bleeds and it emits a horrifying amount of blood energy that can be felt directly.
Only Gistella doesn’t seem to be surprised by this.
“What a thick blood energy, this tree is the source of it”, Rex mutters with a frown.
Hearing this, Elinaya who is still dragged by Rex then said strugglingly, “Of course, this is their territory”, from this alone Rex realized that it’s going to be harder to fight a Vampire in this kind of terrain, but he’s not that worried.
But then Rex suddenly wanted to try something,
Letting go of Elinaya, Rex approaches the big tree before he takes out the Silver Eye again. He looks up to the huge tree that is as big as the trees in the Purple Conifer Forest, and with a deep breath, Rex activates all of his buffs and tries to cut down the tree.
Clang!
To Rex’s surprise, even with the Silver Eye, he can’t cut through the tree trunk at all, “Hmm… Should I try using with Linzite”, Rex thought out loud while looking at the tree
“Don’t do that, the tree is covered by King Solomon’s energy”, Gistella suddenly said.
Hearing this, Rex turns to look at Gistella in confusion before she explains, “If master use Linzite to cut the three down, master will definitely be able to at least wound the tree. But if the tree is wounded, King Solomon will know about it and they will know we’re here”
Although it’s a shame that Rex can’t cut this down, he only shrugs his shoulders.
‘We have Linzite and even the breathing technique, their advantage will be lessened. We’ll leave this tree alone’, Rex thought before they resume the journey.
Their journey takes hours and they reach their destination in the afternoon.
Rex and the others finally reached the Delarosa Family’s territory under the guidance of Elinaya and also the map in case Elinaya tries to bait them into a trap, but it seems that is not the case.
Just like the Vampire that Kyran tortured said before, the Delarosa Family’s territory lies through the Avonlet River. In front of them lies a river that should be the Avonlet River, but the river is way bigger than Rex originally thought.
Even from afar, Rex can already sense a couple of Vampires inside traditional houses.
Compared to the houses inside the human territory that is very modern and classy, these houses are traditional houses that are taken straight from the medieval era. Despite their intelligence matching humans, Humans still excel in other parts.
Since the sun is still out, the place is deserted with the Vampires avoiding the sunlight.
After looking at the houses with Vampires in them, Rex looks at the far horizon before he saw a castle that is visible even though it’s at least more than a dozen miles away.
It’s very big, and Rex is sure that is where the Delarosa Family is located.
“Now spare me, I won’t do anything, please!”, Elinaya pleaded to make Rex and the others look at her coldly, they’re at war after all and compassion doesn’t have any room in this current time.
But when Rex was about to kill her, he suddenly realized something.
The edge of Rex’s mouth slowly quirked up into a smirk as he said, “You’ve been restless the closer we got to the Vampire’s place, I thought nothing of it but it seems I know why…”
“It’ll be bad if you’re seen in the Vampire’s territory, am I right? You’re trespassing their territory”
