Chapter 131: Puny Trick (1/2)
The map showcases the fire serpent's location,
The fire serpent is a blinking red dot on the map, Rex knows where exactly to find the fire serpent but the location is a bit inaccessible.
From looking at the map, Rex sighs helplessly.
The location of the fire serpent is inside the vampire's territory, it's not too deep inside the vampire territory but it's still their territory.
Going there right now is a suicide,
With Rex's current power, he can barely compare with a normal Werewolf.
Vampire and Werewolf have almost the same power, the only difference is that all vampires can use blood magic while only a couple of Werewolves can use Moonlight Magic.
Both of their normal peers are a rank five powerhouse, they're just too strong.
'Thankfully this quest doesn't have a time limit', Rex thought with a sigh, he can't imagine going there with only the help of Adhara and Kyran.
Because of this quest, Rex becomes even more determined to get a strong member.
He wanted to increase more of his pack members but he can only do it one at a time, 'I got the slave kid, and there's also Edward', Rex thought.
From the moment the system forces him to add a member, Edward crosses his mind.
Edward's power becomes drastically strong after the Ghoul's Den event, Rex didn't get surprised when he found out Edward becomes a rank four.
If Rex who is a normal human before can enter Ochyra University's top class, Rex can't imagine what Edward got from the UWO as a reward.
Just from experience, Rex didn't doubt Edward's power.
His hand-to-hand combat can't be compared with just anyone, he will become a very powerful member of Silverstar Pack.
But the thing is, Rex can't bring himself to talk about it with Edward.
The only friend Rex has left is Edward, he didn't have many friends in general so Rex treasured Edward's friendship.
'Let's just think about this later', Rex thought.
Rex is currently already in a car with Kyran and Adhara, they all got a lift by the citizen of Wedron City.
Adhara is already asleep while Kyran is silent in the front.
The driver is sweating, Rex notices this before he said, ”Don't be nervous sir, treat us just like any other normal person”
Rex starting to notice how the normal people act in front of him.
They're all meek and really downgrading themselves, many Wedron City's citizens almost prostrate in front of Rex and the others during the small party before.
Rex immediately stopped them, he felt weird for them to do that.
”Ah yes sir, It's just rare for me to meet an Awakened like you”, the driver said honestly.
Hearing this, Rex frowns, ”What do you mean an Awakened like me? Am I different than the other Awakened?”
The driver laughs awkwardly, he doesn't reply to Rex's question.
”Just say it, I won't tell anyone”, Rex added, he saw a glimpse of fear in the driver's expression as the words got stuck in his mouth.
The driver looks at Rex through the rear-view mirror repeatedly, he wanted to make sure if Rex is being serious right now.
After confirming Rex is being serious,
The driver said, ”Well sir Rex, it's just that the Awakened that came before you is not as good as you. Just like the Awakened you killed-”
Before the driver continues, Rex intervene, ”The Awakened I killed is not to be spoken of”
Hearing Rex's serious tone, the driver flinches before he apologizes to Rex.
”Continue”, Rex said.
”Just like the other Awakened that help us before, many of them are selfish and treated us like garbage. Only the black hand is kind to us, we felt more assured with the black hand rather than the Awakened”, the driver explained.
Rex is immediately in thought, 'Are many other Awakened behave like that?'
When he first enters Ochyra University, Rex got a glimpse of how an Awakened treated normal human but for the driver to say many of them is still a surprise for Rex.
The driver then continues to tell the way other Awakened treat them.
Rex becomes even more surprised by the second, it's totally blown Rex's mind to think that all of this is real.
Kyran also confirms Rex that it is indeed true.
Rex was forced to believe it whether Rex like it or not, even Kyran confirmed it.
The drive was filled with stories from both the driver and Kyran, Rex hears all of this attentively feeling the unjust treatment from the Awakened.
Not long, they can already saw the train track.
They're already near the train station, they will go straight back home after this.
Adhara already woke up from her sleep, they already started to prepare their stuff because they almost arrive at the train station.
But then, ”Stop!”
Kyran told the driver to stop suddenly, the driver immediately steps on the break.
The car makes a screeching sound before it stopped, the driver looks at Kyran in confusion because he doesn't see anything around except for abandoned buildings and cars.
Kyran glance at Rex as he looks at Rex with a meaningful look.
Both Rex and Adhara immediately understand what Kyran means, this is the signal Kyran uses just like when he senses the Orc Scout before.
”Sir, please go out of the car and go hide under the car”, Adhara said to the driver.
Hearing this, the driver's face went pale before he immediately goes out and hides under the car.
TAP!
TAP!
TAP!
Rex, Adhara, and Kyran go out of the car as they slam the car's door, they look at the surroundings warily.
”How many?”, Rex said while he looks around.
