Chapter 223: Supernatural Stronghold (1/2)
The next day,
City people started to repair the entrance of the city under the mayor's command, they're working together to cover the entrance first.
Rex and the others were told to sit on the side after helping with the heavy work.
All of the city people didn't let Rex and the others help even though it will speed up the process, they said that Rex and the others has done enough.
So the three of them added with Henry can only sit idly in the mayor's house.
They're sipping coffee on the terrace as they look at the people working together, Adhara's father is also amongst them.
Adhara's father told Rex that by noon of this day, they can leave for Ratmawati City.
So Rex and the others are waiting for him, it's a good thing too to relax for a bit after what happened last night.
While the others are resting, Rex is busy with items inside his inventory.
<Demon Core>
Demon Core is the source of power for all kinds of demons, they contain demonic power a particular demon manifested which will determine their power. All demons have a Demon Core or even a couple of Demon Cores, and the bigger the Demon Core the more powerful the said demon is. Demon Core can be used as an enhancement item to strengthen the body.
Reading this, Rex smiles as he looks at the Demon Core hologram in front of him.
Last night aside from completing the Sudden Quest to save Adhara's father, he also got these Demonic Cores from the demons' carcasses.
Because of yesterday's brutal fight, he didn't remember it but after the fight ended,
The system scans the area and calculated all of the demon's carcasses in the surrounding, and Rex got a whopping 197 Demonic Cores.
It didn't count the demons that he didn't kill, so it only amount to 197.
The demonic core is a ball of energy that is similar to Elemental Stone, the difference lies in the energy in the demonic core which is Demonic Energy.
Aside from that, the Demonic Core is glowing with a blue hue.
Rex didn't try to take it out from his inventory, it will make the others suspicious.
After inspecting the Demonic Core, Rex opened his stats tab to check when the next full moon is and also to add all of the attributable stats he got to mental stat.

'Lunar Eclipse? I don't know anything about it', Rex thought.
He then asks the system, 'What will happen during the Lunar Eclipse?'
<The Shadowed moon will veil the Chosen Werewolf in a skin mask, the berserk form will be suppressed as the Chosen Werewolf becomes the deadliest killer>
Reading this, Rex sigh feeling the system always gives him riddles.
'Let's just ask her later, she'll probably know about it', Rex thought while shaking his head.
While Rex is busy with himself, Edward looks at Henry who is currently in a bad mood before he approaches him.
”Where are you going to go after this?”, Edward asks Henry who is still daydreaming on the chair alone while watching the view.
Henry snapped out of his daze, ”I-I'm going to report back to my guild”
Looking at Henry's behavior, Edward squint his eyes and said, ”I'm guessing you're thinking about how to tell your comrade's death?”
Henry looks down after getting read by Edward, he sighs not knowing what to do.
”Just tell the guild that your comrade fought bravely while you luckily survived, it will not undo what you did but at least it will make you feel better”, Edward advised.
Hearing this, Henry becomes conflicted, ”The city people witnessed it, the guild won't buy it”
But just as they're talking, ”I'm sure the people will back you up just fine”
The mayor suddenly walks inside the room and saw the four of them sitting on the terrace, all of them turn their heads back to the mayor except for Rex.
Henry is surprised by the mayor's sudden appearance but the others already sense him long before he spoke.
Rex sips his coffee slowly as he wonders why the mayor is here,
The mayor approached the four with light steps before he stopped, ”You four are the city's hero so I will do all in my power to help you”
Hearing this, Edward smiles while tugging Henry's side.
Henry also smiles lightly, ”Thank you”, he said.
After the mayor's nodded his head with a smile, he then said, ”Can I talk to Rex alone for a moment?”, the mayor look at the other three signaling them to leave the room.
Kyran frowns, ”Why don't you just talk?”
Edward covers Kyran's mouth before he pulls Kyran and Henry away and leaves the room.
Rex then stands up from his seat and leans on the terrace's fence while facing the mayor, he still has the cup of coffee in his hand.
”I want to thank you on behalf of the city”, the mayor said straight to the point.
Hearing this, Rex smirks lightly, ”I know the city people are thankful, but no offense but I didn't come here to save the city”
”I knew that Russ told me”, replied the mayor.
Rex looks at the mayor with a frown, ”Russ?”
”It's the man you're trying to save, I heard you're his daughter's boyfriend”, the mayor added making Rex smile wryly.
'So that's his name', Rex thought wryly.
Rex then turns to his back to the sight of the city people working together, ”But still, that didn't change the fact that I'm not here for the city”
The mayor walks to Rex's side and said, ”You could've left the city right after you saved Russ, but you chose to stay and help the city. Many said that you fought the winged demons, and without you, we will be finished”
”You know, the city guards are all from the military”, the mayor said while pointing at the handful of city guards organizing the city people.
He's hinting at something and Rex catch on it,
Looking at the mayor's gestures, Rex's face darkened, ”Are you asking me about the insect creature? I don't know what it is, and I certainly don't conspire with it”
