Chapter 189: Evolution Path (1/2)

'Hmm, that's weird', Rex thought.

”I'm okay. Why are you concerned about me now, aren't you just about to curse me more a few seconds ago?”, Rex said playfully.

Hearing this,

Vanessa immediately retracts her concerned expression.

Although they didn't know each other and Rex might potentially be their enemies, she still somehow feel concerned about Rex.

But that didn't last long,

Vanessa's expression turns stoic again before she said, ”Anyway, stop telling lies to my group. I can defeat a guy like you with one hand”

”Alright princess grumpy, I won't tell any more lies”, Rex said nonchalantly.

But Vanessa was stunned, ”Princess Grumpy?! Why you-”

She glares at Rex wanting to rebut but she then bit her lips, ”There's no point talking to you, I'll personally beat you if that girl told me she didn't know you”

After Vanessa said that, she left Rex alone.

Rex can only look at Vanessa's back with a playful smile, 'I can't believe she's the leader of the group'

But still, the nose bleed concerns him,

He still doesn't know where that nose bleed came from, any injuries he sustained will probably be healed by now after he turns off the Berserk Curse skill.

So there should be no injury aside from the one that can be seen.

Rex touches his nose again and found that his nose is still bleeding, it's doesn't bleed much but it's still there.

'System, Why am I having a nose bleed? Is there an injury that I can't heal?', Rex asks.

<Mortal Injuries no matter how bad it is will be healed eventually, only heavy injuries from silver, White Rye, or Omicron cannot be healed without the help of items>

Reading this, Rex becomes even more confused.

'So Where did this nose bleed came from?', Rex thought in confusion.

The Trench Predator group left Rex alone under Vanessa's command, and Rex didn't mind their treatment towards him one bit.

She's still mad with Rex for calling him a grumpy princess, and it can be seen clearly.

While Rex is lying on the ground to rest, he suddenly remembers something.

'System, how long is the Evolving Process?', Rex asks.

<The user will be brought into the user's consciousness, there the user will choose the evolution path before finally evolving. It will take approximately half an hour>

Reading this, Rex frowns, 'Evolution Path?'

The evolution he experience before was not his choice,

He evolves from half-Werewolf into Werewolf, before he then turns into High Werewolf.

Not one time from those two evolutions does he have a choice, but now the system told him he will be choosing the Evolution Path.

'Let's see what's this about', Rex thought before he sneak away.

Rex will be finding a place to evolve without disturbance, and it will be bad if someone was to find him during his evolution process.

Swosh~

He disappeared from the place silently, it didn't make any sound at all.

But his disappearance didn't go unnoticed, Vanessa saw him left the place with a frown before she then tries to follow Rex.

”Wait here, I need to do something”, Vanessa said to the others.

Simon looks at her before he looks at Rex's direction to find him gone, ”Leader just leave him, It seems he's lying about being friends with this girl”

Hearing this, the leader raised her hand before she went in Rex's direction.

The others can only sigh, ”She never changed, she's like the ultimate nightmare for all womanizers”

”I don't blame her though, Anyone will be like that if they go through what she did”, another added before they then went back to eating.

Meanwhile,

Vanessa saw Rex's silhouette dashing inside the forest,

She is keeping a good distance from him to not get noticed, 'You're running now, I'm not going to let you go that easily', she thought.

But then, Rex suddenly vanished from her vision.

Vanessa picks up her pace and found that Rex is already gone, she didn't even saw how he can escape from her vision.

She stops from her track before she touches the ground, ”Detection...”

Blue Mana infiltrates the ground as it started to spread, Vanessa is currently closing her eyes as she tries to find where Rex has gone to.

From all of the waters in the surrounding, Vanessa can feel the vibration of all of them.

'I will definitely find you', Vanessa thought before suddenly, 'What the-'

The water behind her suddenly vibrates tremendously, she opened her eyes and slashes her back with her sword that is glowing with fierce water mana.

Rex envelopes his hand with Yellow Force as he caught the sword,

SLASH!

The sword was caught by Rex's hand but it still pierced through his barrier, it got stopped right after it slashed his skin.

'Pretty strong', Rex thought in amusement.

The sword broke through his Yellow Force Barrier and slash his palm, but the sword didn't manage to cut deep enough only leaving a little scratch on Rex's palm.

His hands bleed slightly, it didn't bleed for that long though.

This shocked Vanessa greatly,

Her sword is not just imbued with her mana rather that it is a spell, so it should penetrate Rex's skin easily knowing its penetration power has increased even more.

But to her surprise, it got stuck on Rex's hand.

”What are you doing?”, Rex asks softly.

Vanessa tries to retract her sword but Rex's grip is unmoving, she can't move her sword at all,

”What do you think? You run from us knowing that you lied to us”

Rex chuckles hearing this, ”Listen, I will be back in half an hour”

”Do you really think I will believe that? You try to take advantage of that girl and I won't forgive you for that”, Vanessa said angrily.

Seeing that Vanessa will not leave him alone, Rex sigh.

His hand suddenly glows with an intense yellow hue again as Rex grip Vanessa's sword tighter, the blue energy surrounding it got suppressed bit by bit.

Vanessa's hand suddenly becomes sweaty, she just realized what that yellow energy was, 'F...Force?! He comprehended Yellow Force?!'

The blue mana surrounding Vanessa's sword finally dimmed before suddenly,

Crack!

Vanessa's sword snaps in two making her even paler in surprise, 'This is a rank four Sword! How can it snap that easily?! No...'

She then realizes something, ”You really did kill the Elves?!”

”I told you, you can believe what you believe. You said you didn't trust me, and the same goes for me”, Rex said with a cold expression.

He will not shrug off Vanessa if he keeps acting soft,

Rex then walks closer towards Vanessa making her step back involuntarily before he pinned Vanessa on a tree, he then said, ”I'll give you a chance because your group look trustable”
