Chapter 75: Royal Vampire (2/2)
If they just keep going and not stopping to rest, Calidora might've still been here right now.
They left the swamp with a dejected expression, they can only manage to find out Calidora's standing in the Vampire Kingdom and find the Dark Mooncress. Although Rex didn't exactly hold Brutal Grey there, he at least got the Dark Mooncress.
In Dave and Liliya's head, they have failed but in Rex's, it's still a form of success, 'Just wait until I get stronger', Rex thought, looking at the Dark Mooncress in his inventory.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Zrolis City.
Bertolf and Zegrath stopped a few kilometers away from Zrolis City.
Zegrath is still burning with anger, he looks at the faraway Zrolis City as Rex's face past his mind making his breathing heavy again.
Bertolf on the side notices this, ”Don't worry, you will get your revenge soon”, he looks at Zegrath's hand and continues, ”Do you get the Dark Mooncress?”
Hearing this, Zegrath holds out his hand revealing three petals of Dark Mooncress.
”That damn human manage to stole it?”, Bertolf sighs before he continues, ”It's regretful to not get all of it but we'll make do, I will help you reach rank five with this”, Bertolf said confidently.
Before Zegrath can answer, ”But you need to become my subordinates, only then I will help you”
Zegrath didn't think long before he nodded his head, all he can think of is to get stronger and kill the humans as much as possible.
Bertolf grins,
Just as Bertolf wanted to resume back to the Werewolf Kingdom, Zegrath asks, ”Did you manage to kill Jarvald?”
”No, he escaped just before I can finish him”, Bertolf said, he still curses himself for not finishing Jarvald as he knows Jarvald will come and take revenge in the future.
The both of them then dashes and resume their way.

One day has passed,
After going back from Zrolis City, he immediately reports his finding to the SCO.
They didn't manage to finish their mission but because it is their first mission, they got off easily and not get punished.
Rex immediately went back to Ochyra University after that,
During this past day, he got bombarded by Rosie and Adhara questioning about where did he go but he shrugs it off and tells them he went to his mom which makes Adhara and Rosie mad.
Rex's lie can't be more obvious than that so they finally stopped bothering him,
He mostly spent his time relaxing and resting because of his fatigue, he didn't even go to class these couple of days because of that.
Regarding the preparation for fighting Kevin Luc, he already prepares all he can and he is confident in being a match for the ace of Faraday University, Kevin Luc.
Rosie also didn't ask much about that matter, she usually asks Rex to accompany her to eat but always got intercepted by Adhara.
At this moment, Rex is in a cafe drinking coffee with the girls.
As always, Adhara and Rosie are arguing about which food to eat later.
The both of them are like a cat and a mouse, they never get along when they meet each other.
Rex is enjoying the scenery,
The girls notice this when suddenly they remember something, ”Rex...”, Adhara calls, she seems to hesitate to say about something.
Rosie on the side also wore a worried expression which makes Rex frown in confusion.
”It's about when you're gone, did you perhaps in danger? I can't sleep that night”, Adhara said meekly, her eyes show signs of worry just like Rosie's.
Rex is thinking, 'How did she know?', he looks at Rosie and found her nodding her head too.
But suddenly, a notification appears.
<adhara has=”” a=”” special=”” bond=”” with=”” the=”” user,=”” she=”” will=”” know=”” every=”” emotion=”” you=”” felt=””></adhara>
Reading this, Rex nodded his head in understanding because it makes sense for Adhara a pack member of his felt his emotion but Rosie on the other hand...
'How the hell did she felt it too?', Rex thought.
He coughs a little before explaining, ”Well, I met danger a couple of days ago”
Hearing this, Adhara and Rosie perked up their ears listening to Rex's story that they have been dying to know.
Looking at the curious girls, he then chuckles before he continues, ”Yesterday, I was in someplace that is a secret from you both. There, I met a really strong Cursed Creature”
Adhara and Rosie got annoyed for a little bit, ”The creature is so silent that I can't feel its presence, it suddenly appears behind my back looking at me like a predator looking at its prey. It surprised me and I felt weak in its presence, so that might be when you both felt I'm in danger”
Adhara and Rosie nodded their heads with a surprised look, 'If even Rex felt weak, what will I feel in its presence?', they both thought inside their heads.
Then Rex continues, ”Thankfully, someone that is a secret from both of you came and hold the creature back. That's why I can come back here alive”
Rex chuckles thinking back to that moment, he still feels his scalps tingles then suddenly,
”REX!!”
'Hmm?', Rex mumble when suddenly he saw the girls jumped on him.
BAK!!
He fell from the chair with Adhara and Rosie on top of him, they are both weeping like a baby.
”What the hell are you both doing? People are starting to watch us, get up!”, he said in shock, he didn't expect the girls to suddenly jump on him.
”Don't do that again!! Who will become my shield if you die!!', Rosie cried, her pitiful cry makes Rex annoyed for some reason.
On the other side, Adhara is also weeping, ”Please don't be in that kind of situation again...”
Seeing both girls cry for him, a gentle smile appears on his face, ”Alright, alright, I won't do that again. Don't worry, I will not die at least not now”, he said reassuringly.
Adhara notice Rex's weird answer but she decided to shrug it off,
After calming themselves down, the three of them went out of the cafe under everyone's weird gazes and headed to a restaurant.
They both chatted leisurely but suddenly, ”YOU THERE!!”
Rex and the girls continue their walk ignoring the shout, they think it must be someone else.
”STOP!! REX SILVERSTAR!!”, a boy shouted from afar, he wears expensive-looking equipment with blazing red hair.
Hearing this, Rex hesitated for a moment before turning to his back.
Rex saw a guy a foot shorter than him,
The guy runs towards him before stopping right in front of him with heavy breaths, he calmed his breathing for a moment before declaring, ”I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL!!”
