Chapter 564 We're Being Watched
With no other choice except to comply, the bulky Werewolf finally pours out everything that he knew all because of the whimpering of the Female Werewolf that is being held by the neck by Rex.
It made the female Werewolf feel guilty to make her Alpha like this, but she can’t do anything.
Rex finds out that Ruston’s Pack, the Feral Phantomclaw Pack is a prestigious pack that is in the upper echelon of the Werewolf hierarchy, in fact, Ruston is the right hand of the current King of Werewolves. King Baralt.
Not only does he always does King Baralt’s dirty work, but he’s also the advisor.
For some reason, Rex didn’t expect Ruston to have such a high standing in the Werewolf territory, and that high standing spreads to his pack members that are respected and feared by many others. Something only a few Werewolves possess.
Consisting of about more than two dozen Werewolves, it’s clear that this pack is very powerful.
Usually, a Werewolf’s pack would only be composed of about five to a dozen of Werewolves, but the Feral Phantomclaw Pack has about two dozen pack members which differentiate them from the others.
But there’s a downside to being one of the prestigious packs.
Since Ruston turns out to intend to stab King Baralt in the back by forcing Zegrath to take the throne, he’s been busy helping the Dark Prince in preparing to face King Baralt. Not only does he help search for strong food to make the Dark Prince stronger, but he’s also the one that trained Zegarth in preparation for his upcoming fight.
With that, King Baralt realizes his occasional absence.
Knowing that they were going to be questioned the first regarding their Alpha, Ruston, the Feral Phantomclaw Pack decided to isolate themselves from the others and lay low until Ruston came back.
‘He’s not going to come back, I made sure of it…’, Rex thought knowing what he has done.
Aside from everything Bahram knew about the Feral Phantomclaw Pack, he also told Rex about the Teinar Family which in a sense turns out to be somekind of Royal Family from the Werewolf race.
Most of them were birthed in the blood moon, but some of the aren’t.
Ruston is without a doubt the most influential Werewolf in the Teinar Family but he’s only close with a couple of Werewolves from his family, one of the Werewolves that he’s very close with is the youngest Werewolf of the Teinar Family.
Now Rex knows this Werewolf’s name, Agatha.
Unlike the other Werewolves that have at least reached a hundred years of age, Agatha is very young before the ancient humans decided to seal the Supernaturals. She’s not more tender than 40 years old, pretty young for a Werewolf’s age.
Since she’s quite incapable, she rarely came out of the Teinar Family’s territory.
Rex is now following Bahram and the female Werewolf that is going to lead him and Flunra to the Feral Phantomclaw Pack territory first, they retreated further away but it’s nearer than the Teinar Family.
With the daggering eyes from the back, Bahram and the female Werewolf didn’t try anything.
Although they were not that weak for a Werewolf in this current era, the humans behind them were more monstrous than they can even imagine. One is the only survivor of the Radical Era while the other is the mythical Royal Black Prince.
Glancing over his shoulder, Bahram got goosebumps when his eyes with Rex’s eyes.
From gazing at Rex’s eyes for less than a second he can already tell that if he tries to do anything funny then he’s going to be dead before he realizes it, something that his senses feel so vividly.
Rex’s display of strength before surprised them to their cores.
Not only Rex is a very powerful being that is capable of exerting the full extent of the ninth-rank realm, but his abilities are out worldly and very horrifying. A slash that is capable of phasing through any matter is something that nobody in the current era can do.
But Rex can do it rather easily, not needing any chant or preparation.
With nothing but a will inside his head, Rex can use that ability, Executor Slash like any other ability. If he deemed it necessary he can even spam the skill, Rex still doesn’t know the limit of how much he can use the Executor Slash.
The four of them dash through the forest that is called the Great Forest of Limnir.
Out of all the paths they traveled to get to their current location right now, Rex realized that he already passed a couple of wooden totems identical to the one before. It’s only thanks to the Unscented Viole Blimbi that can he travel unnoticed.
It didn’t take long for them to reach a spacious grassland in the middle of the forest.
“We’ll need to cross the Martyn Family’s territory first at the end of the grassland if we want to reach the Feral Phantomclaw Pack territory”, Bahram said while stopping at the edge of the grassland.
Upon hearing this, Rex frowns for a moment before he asks, “What are their abilities?”
“Absolute Senses…”, Bahram replied while glancing at Rex with an unreadable expression.
Although he can just massacre the entire family if he wanted to, once again he doesn’t want to gain attention to him with the extracted soul ticking like a time bomb. Rex now only has 25% soul left, he’s experiencing pain occasionally.
Not only that but he also noticed that something is wrong with his mind.
Rex finds that thinking is starting to get harder and harder, even now he can’t really think for too much as the migraine that attacked him is very severe if he forced himself to think. It’s very convenient for his position.
‘System, what is Absolute Senses?’
<Absolute Senses is an ability that bypasses any presence-restriction ability. It allows the ones that have Absolute Senses to be able to sense anyone regardless of any item, spell, artifact, or skill they are using>
Upon reading this, Rex looks at the far end of the grassland with a frown.
‘It basically means that if we get too close then they definitely going to know we’re here’
Knowing this Rex was about to say something to Flunra but something caught his senses, Rex can feel many eyes staring right at him from the shadow of the night. It didn’t take long before a couple of glowing animalistic eyes surrounded them.
From mentally counting there are at least 30 of them in the surroundings.
Rex chuckled lightly upon seeing this before he gazes back at Bahram and the female Werewolf, “What a coincidence that to get to the Feral Phantomclaw Pack we need to went past a family that has that kind of ability, it’s almost as if it’s made up…”
Despite being handicapped in the mind because of the extracted soul, he didn’t become dumb.
Even though they don’t know the location of the Feral Phantomclaw Pack, the fact that they needed to go past the Martyn Family which somehow has the ability of Absolute Senses. It was enough to believe that they were led to this place deliberately.
Chuckling inwardly, Rex’s eyes turn fierce filled with killing intent, “Wrong move, Bahram…”
“Hmmm…?! Wait! I swear that it’s thi-“
Before Bahram can even finish his sentence Rex already activates his Executor Slash skill before cutting both Bahram and the female Werewolf’s bodies in half, and while their bodies haven’t fallen to the ground yet Rex added yet another slash that decapitated both of them.
Slash!
<Killed an Early Eighth Rank Alpha Werewolf, Obtained 27,000,000,000 Exp>
<Killed a Mid Sixth Rank Werewolf, Obtained 10,000,000 Exp>
Two notifications appeared in Rex’s vision before he straighten his back once again.
With the daggering eyes staring at him and Flunra from the shadows of the night, Rex looks around and stares at each of them while clenching the muscles of his claws that are decorated with blood.
Rex puts on a nonchalant expression on his face as he takes out the Amuerus Katana.
Pulling the katana out of the inventory slowly while keeping his eyes on the animalistic eyes that are surrounding him, a subtle shockwave was created just from him taking out the Katana. It’s a ninth-rank weapon, the sharpness is surreal as the sound of cutting the air whistles through their ears.
After taking out the katana, Rex then cloaked it with the Red Force as the runes vibrates.
Exposing the eight runes that are vibrating with the red force energy, the Werewolves that are watching him widened their eyes in surprise. With their sensitive senses, the sword brings imminent danger.
Just like standing in front of a lion or a tiger.
Even when the lion or the tiger does nothing but stare at a person, the said person can feel and know that he/she is going to be butchered relentlessly if the lion or tiger decided to attack. It’s the exact same feeling with the Amuerus Katana.
Without the need to do anything, the Werewolves know that the katana is very dangerous.
Ignoring the Werewolves that don’t even pose a threat to him, Rex turns his body to the side before starting right at the Werewolf that has the strongest aura among the Werewolves surrounding him.
Upon realizing that Rex is looking at him, the Werewolf stepped back with a frown.
Knowing that his entire family would die if a fight breaks out, the Werewolf keeps his body still not trying to spark aggression in Rex as he mutters, “Help… humans managed to infiltrate our territory!”
“I need reinforcement as soon as pos-“
Before the Werewolf can even finish his sentence, his mouth stopped when he saw Rex vanish.
Despite keeping his cautious eyes on Rex all the time the Werewolf was surprised to find that Rex is not in his usual spot anymore, he disappeared from thin air just like an actual ghost. But in the next second after that.
Swoosh!
Rex suddenly appeared right in front of the Werewolf’s eyes menacingly.
Without even hesitating anymore the Werewolf instantly leans forward to bite Rex’s head off, but with nothing but a finger, he managed to block the Werewolf’s sudden advancement by tapping the Werewolf on the forehead.
After blocking the attack with his finger cloaked with red energy, something surprising happened.
“Kraaghh!”
Out of nowhere the tip of Rex’s finger fires a swift light of red force sending the Werewolf crashing away, it can only be felt by the Werewolf directly as the other Werewolves didn’t see anything happen before the Werewolf got flung away.
Crash!
“Head Family!”
Roar!!
Growl!!
In a fit of anger, the other Werewolves sprinted on all four and jumped right at Rex.
With nothing but a tremble of Rex’s hand that is holding the Amuerus Katana, a circular slash of red energy appeared around him that killed the attacking Werewolves. It happened in a fraction of a second, and this terrifies even the strongest Supernatural.
Many would be fearful of fighting a strong opponent, the thought of dying is fearful.
But fighting against Rex is scarier than any other opponents they had fought, the fear comes from simply not knowing when they died. Something that contains the element of not knowing is very scary.
Looking over the remaining Werewolves, Rex then said, “Kill every one of them”
“Just leave one for interrogation and resume our journey, be quick because I don’t have time”
Upon hearing this Flunra nodded his head in confirmation before he faces the remaining Werewolves, it was probably very confusing for them to see humans being this nonchalant in front of them.
Flunra clenched his fists a couple of times before he went into his battle stance.
“I’m sorry but this is not a personal vendetta, I’m just doing what I’m ordered to do…”

Meanwhile, back to where Adhara and the others are.
Since Liliya knows Adhara from their first meeting before, Adhara decided to accompany the illusion to meet with Liliya and the green team. Upon meeting, they were given information about the Shapeshifter they are hunting.
Adhara is the one that mainly does the talking, the illusion is very silent for some reason.
With the help of Liliya, they are given a map with the rough calculation of where the Shapeshifter should be in, they deduce this by pinpointing the last time the Shapeshifter is seen. Liliya is ashamed as there’s not much information she gained.
But for Adhara, it’s more than enough since they have the rune given by Flunra.
All they need is a rough estimate of where the Shapeshifter would be, and spamming the rune will definitely help them in finding the Shapeshifter faster. It’s been a couple of hours since they met with Liliya and the green team.
It’s also been a couple of minutes that the illusion is acting weirdly.
Evelyn, Adhara, and Gistella realized this weird behavior from the illusion that kept looking back and stopping every once in a while, this happen suddenly without any indication which makes them bump into the illusion’s back.
Until now they still don’t know if the illusion is even capable of talking.
Thud!
“Arghh, that’s it! Just why are you acting weird stopping out of a sudden like this?!”, Evelyn exclaimed as she had enough of bumping into the illusion’s back, it was the third time she bumped into the illusion.
Adhara can only smile wryly, “Calm down, I don’t think it can talk. There’s no point talking to it”
Clicking her tongue in displeasure, Evelyn looks at the illusion right in the eyes and saw the illusion ignores her and looks around with a frown. This made the others confused as they didn’t sense anything.
Even Gistella didn’t sense anything out of the norm, they are just inside a forest.
But when the girls are about to move again ignoring the illusion’s weird behavior, a voice suddenly crept into their eas coming from the illusion, “I think we’re being watched…”
