Chapter 63: First Mission (1/2)
'Team members? What do they mean by team members?', Rex thought in confusion, he squinted his eyes trying to remember if he ever met these two figures before but his head comes up with nothing.
Then suddenly, Devan opened his clothes revealing a black crow tattoo on his chest.
Rex then comes to a realization, 'Black crow tattoo? So they're from the SCO'
He then checks both of their stats,
<devan pummel=””></devan>
Power: Peak Rank Four - Telekinesis
Mental: 130
Strength: 65
Agility: 90
Endurance: 88
Intelligence: 0
Rex didn't expect Devan wearing all white have a telekinesis ability, it is contrasting with his lean and muscular figure. Rex thought Devan will be a melee fighter.
The weird part about him is that he uses a white beanie that looks uncomfortable in this heat,
He then glances at Liliya beside Devan,
<liliya archie=””></liliya>
Power: Early Rank Five - ???
Mental: 93
Strength: 127
Agility: 185
Endurance: 115
Intelligence: 0
Looking at Liliya's stats, Rex frowns.
Her stats are higher even comparing to Rex's Werewolf form, the troubling part is that he can't see any hints of her abilities which never happened before.
After scanning them, Rex said, ”Do you guys perhaps saw a group of black uniform Awakened?”
Devan raises his brows before suddenly a couple of people floating comes out of nowhere, ”You mean these guys?”
Rex nodded his head, ”We encounter them and they are noisy so Liliya and I knocked them all out. But one got away I suppose, he's a quick one”, Devan said before putting the unconscious people on the ground.
Rex frowns, 'They're from the black tiger guild, they're probably sent here to search for me'
After brief thinking, Rex glances back and said, ”So, Devan and Liliya, Why are you here looking for me?”
Hearing Rex, Liliya, and Devan were surprised for a bit, ”How did you know our name? We haven't told you our name yet”, Devan replies in shock.
Rex was stunned, 'Shit, I forgot they haven't introduced themselves yet'
He then coughs before saying, ”The Green Messenger told me, stop getting off-topic”
The frowns on Liliya's and Devan's forehead disappear, Rex heaved a sigh of relief, ”We got our first mission, We need to go right now. I'll tell you about the mission along the way”, Liliya said before turning her back.
Rex hesitated for a moment, 'Adhara and Rosie are still in the Cluster Domain, I think Liliya and Devan don't sense anything from the hole behind me. Let's keep it that way', Rex then apologizes to Rosie and Adhara in his heart before following them.
After Rex left for a couple of minutes,
Zong! Zong!
Adhara and Rosie comes out of the Cluster Domain after packing their stuff,
Adhara looks funny because of her clothes that look like a Tarzan, Rex proposedly choose them so she will not suspicious of him.
If Rex takes out a beautiful modern dress from the system then, of course, Adhara will be suspicious of where did the clothes come from. Ugrok can't possibly make that kind of clothes so he settles with Tarzan-like clothes.
”Where's Rex?”, Rosie asks looking around the place.
They thought something bad happened to Rex and the group of Awakened but suddenly,
Ting!
Rosie opened her phone and saw Rex texts,
'I got something urgent, don't go look for me. Go back to the university safely, I will see you in a couple of days probably'
Rosie then replied, 'Don't forget the Faraday University Tournament will be held three days from now. If you're late, you're dead!'
Rex only replies with a thumb emoji that makes Rosie cursed him in her heart,
She then looks at Adhara, ”Rex got something urgent to do, let's go back first”
Meanwhile,
Rex was following Liliya and Archie, they are like a shadow zipping through the forest.
Not long after, they got out of the forest and immediately went to a black sports car that is parked outside the Emham Forest.
”Get in”, Devan said as he sits in the driver seat.
The sports car looks manly, it is pretty low just about Rex's shoulder height. It has four seats, the spoiler is long and thin decorating its back, and the car's roaring engine is monstrous.
Vroom!!
Devan hit the pedal and drive off of the Emham Forest,
Everyone is silent inside the car,
Rex didn't want to open a conversation with two strangers but if they're his team then this awkward vibe is not comfortable.
”What's the mission exactly?”, Rex said breaking the silence.
Devan then opens his mouth and explains, ”You must've heard of Zrolis City right?”
Rex nodded his head and signal to continue, ”Based on SCO, the Supernatural's movement is weird. It's been days since the siege in Zrolis City, the clear objective is the high-grade Elemental Stone but to mine them is not supposed to be this long”
