Chapter 201: Female Alpha Contender (1/2)
Rex gritted his teeth as Issac got away,
He also becomes irritated after seeing the system's notification,
<Sudden Quest Failed>
<The user will not get the Quest Reward>
'This is the first time I failed a quest, I'll make sure to kill you next time', Rex thought while thinking about Issac before.
But then, he suddenly remembers the scene when he punches Issac.
Right when his fist was about to land on Issac's face, he heard Issac shouted something as red scales appeared on his skin.
It was a bizarre method, and Rex didn't know Vampires have such spells.
”Thank you, young man”
”Bless you both for saving us”
”Are you two also a Black Hand?”
The captured humans that got saved by Liliya's barrier thanked Rex and Liliya, they manage to survive thanks to both of them.
All of them are grateful, they didn't even know what will happen to the half others.
Hearing them, Rex ignores them.
But Liliya on the other hand shows her black crow tattoo before the people that got saved smile in surprise.
”We're right to join AoL!”
”Yeah, thank god we join the AoL”
Rex heard what they said before he thought, 'So this city is also a part of the banded level four city that is protected by the SCO huh, no wonder Green Messenger sent me here”
When Rex is thinking, Liliya approaches him and said, ”Did you see the spell that Vampire use right before he got teleported?”
”Yes, it's weird and I never knew Vampires can do that”, Rex said with a frown.
But then, Liliya added, ”They shouldn't be able to do that, the spell that Vampire use is the war spell of the Dragonman. It's what makes the Dragonman known for its defense”
Realizing this, Rex looks at Liliya in shock.
Liliya nodded her head, ”They somehow can use a Dragonman spell”
Rex was surprised by the realization, he has a hunch that the spell Issac use is not normal but to be actually a Dragonman's spell is still surprising.
'Just like Strada City, Siren's spell shouldn't be red in color. They live in the sea!', Rex thought.
He remembers the attack that he saw in the news about Strada City being attacked by Sirens, General George was the one that got attacked.
It's weird from the start, the Sirens territory is far away.
The UWO and other organizations think that the Sirens somehow find a way to attack them from afar, using some kind of formation to teleport the attack.
”What if they manage to find a way for races to use different races spell, it can't be no other explanation”, Liliya said.
Rex also agrees with her, 'If the attack is red then that means it's probably an attack from the Vampire or Demons, so they did find a way to use other races spells'
After realizing that, Rex then said, ”You should go report these findings to the Green Messenger”
”Where are you going? You're not coming?”, Liliya asks.
Rex shakes his head, 'The Violet Moon is tonight, and also', Rex thought before he turns his head to the side.
There, he saw Rosie is stealing glances at him.
'Well it's a relief that she's in the right half', Rex thought with a sigh.
Liliya notice Rosie looking at Rex before she said, ”I know that she knows you, so I decided to save the half where she's in”
Rex looks at Liliya in surprise, he thought that Liliya did it in random.
”Thanks... I guess”, Rex said before he scratches his head.
Seeing Rex acting this way, Liliya smiles before she said, ”Just give me the tears, I will report back to the Green Messenger while you take care of her”
”What?! I didn't say I would go with her”, Rex said aghast.
Hearing this, Liliya chuckles lightly, ”Since when did you get flustered easily? I thought you're always calm and collected”
”Just take this and go”, Rex said as he tossed the pouch of tears.
Liliya then left to report back to the Green Messenger,
After she left, Delta approach Rex before she rubs her head on Rex's side.
”You did a good job, I'm surprised”, Rex said while patting Delta's head.
Delta whimpers annoyedly hearing Rex look down on her, this makes Rex chuckle before suddenly a voice called out to him, ”Rex...”
Rex looks back and saw Rosie behind him,
Now that Rex looks at her properly, Rosie didn't change one bit from the last time they met.
She is still the same beautiful girl with her hazel and brown curly hair, despite her haggard look because of the incident before, she still looks stunning as always.
Rex looks at her while slightly widening his eyes before he turns stoic again after scanning her, 'I guess it's not such a good thing to not change much', he thought.
Rosie then said, ”Rex, I want to tal-”
But before she can finish, ”You come with me”, Rex said before he dragged Rosie to a much more quiet place.
The captured humans have already recovered and already going back to check their houses,
But some of them still look shocked, and some are crying after seeing their loved ones killed because of this tragedy.
Their city that has been flourishing got raided by the Vampire, and thankfully they survive.
Amongst them is Victor,
Rosie saw Victor going back to his house casually, he didn't seem bothered at all.
This makes Rosie pissed because of how Abby sacrificed herself for a guy like him, but she's not in a position where she can confront him.
Especially when she saw how Abby talks about him before,
Abby will not want her to do anything to Victor, and Rosie knows it.
Rosie then sigh as she got pulled away by Rex, she still can't believe that Abby is dead.
Abby's annoying voice and her effort to comfort still can be seen clearly in Rosie's head, she's just talking to Rosie an hour ago but now she's dead.
Rex pins Rosie on a wall far from the others, and Rosie snapped out of her daze before she looks down in front of Rex.
She didn't have the guts to look Rex right in the eye,
Although it's been a while since they met, she still remembers clearly the words that Rex said to her that night.
”Did you keep my secret?”, Rex asks softly.
Hearing this, Rosie looks up with a surprised look, ”Of course I did! I never told a single soul about your secret”, she said hurriedly.
Both of them stop while staring at each other,
Rosie then realized that she's looking Rex straight in the eyes before she averted her gaze.
