Chapter 223: Supernatural Stronghold (2/2)
”I didn't necessarily say you're working with that creature, but maybe you work for the other one”, the mayor blatantly said.
Hearing this, Rex frowns harder, ”You're saying that I'm working WITH the demons?”
”It's not too much to be careful wouldn't you agree so?”, the mayor said with an innocent smile.
The mayor looks at Rex with his innocent smile as silence covered both of them.
'Did he see me transformed? But I perfectly did it under the smoke cover so nobody should've seen it not even Kyran and Edward', Rex thought trying to find a loophole.
But no matter how he thinks, he just thought that he did it cleanly.
It went on for a hard minute before the mayor finally smiles, ”I know you're not”
”I was just about to tell you that we're indebted to you, and as you know the city has connections in the military so feel free to contact me if you're in trouble”, the mayor said.
Rex's face returns to normal, he walks past the mayor coldly and said, ”Thank you, but I don't need your help”
But just as Rex was in front of the door, ”Not now, but you'll eventually need it”
This makes Rex stop in his track, he squints his eyes while looking at the mayor who is holding a piece of paper in his hand.
The mayor then approach Rex before he handed the piece of paper, ”Activate this when you need my help and when I said that I'm indebted to you, I mean it”
Rex takes the piece of paper, he looks at the mayor one last time before he left.
At noon, Rex and the others went back to Ratmawati City.
Russ, Adhara's father waves his hands to the city people that are seeing them off as they embark on the journey back.
They went back to the station they arrive from to get back to Ratmawati City.
While they're on the train, Rex takes out his phone, opened the news app he has, and was shocked by the news he's reading.
'They're too late', Rex thought with a frown.
The news shows that the Great Barricade got breached in two places, the Great Barricade was attacked by the Demons and the Vampires right when Rex is fighting the demons last night and they manage to occupy two sectors of the Great Barricade.
What Rex realizes last night is true, the demonic cities are just decoys.
He even got surprised when he saw that a ninth rank Awakened and also an eight rank Awakened got killed in the sector where the Vampires attacked.
This devastated the UWO as they lost two pillars of humanity.
Rex also got a few messages from Vargas that is asking how he know about the attack, Vargas also sent Rex a video.
After clicking the video, Rex widened his eyes in surprise.
The two sectors that are now occupied by the Demons and Vampires became a stronghold, it's a strategic point that the Supernatural plan on holding.
It is evident by the powerful stronghold they're making,
The stronghold made by the demons is guarded with 5 Ezrud that acts as a watchtower, these Ezruds are hulking and they never sleep.
Aside from that, the video also shows a black charcoal demon holding a spear.
It stands on top of the stronghold walls they built while watching the humans,
Although Rex is not present in the scene, he knows that this demon is very powerful just by the vibrating air around it because of the steaming demonic energy.
Rex then open the other video and saw the Vampires done the same,
They're creating a big castle that will be a stronghold, and it is guarded by dozens of Royal Vampires and also a couple of powerful vampires that are baring their wings.
'We got played, and now they have a strategic entry point for future attacks', Rex thought.
He turns off his phone with a sigh, 'I need to speed up reaching the sixth rank, and also I need to enlarge my pack and make them stronger'
Just as Rex thought that his eyes landed on Edward.
Edward is currently sleeping beside him, it seems last night took a toll on him.
But upon looking at Edward's sleeping face, Rex's face becomes troubled as he shakes his head.
'Anyway, I think I need to invest more in my pack', Rex thought.
But then, he groans in pain when he tries to move his body.
Rex's left arm is already healed but it's still stinging with pain although it already can be moved, the injury on his abdomen however is still recovering.
He lift up his shirt and saw that the three holes are still there, he didn't use any healing elixir because it's not urgent yet.
The next morning, Rex and the others arrived at Faraday University.
All of the student's eyes landed on them as they walk inside the university,
How can the students' eyes are not glued onto them, Rex brought Delta to the university and all of them are in awe of the mighty white beast walking beside Rex.
The students know that Rex is a Zeragon, but this is the first time Rex brought Delta.
While they become the center of attention of the university, Delta lifts up her chin with pride as she walks alongside Rex.
They enter the university before a lecturer approach them,
”Student Rex, I'm afraid that you can't bring this creature inside the university”, the lecturer said with slight hesitation.
Hearing this, Rex nodded his head in understanding.
He then said, ”Is there a place for her to stay?”
”Yes, there's a place on the corner of the garden and there she can rest and get treated”, the lecturer replied while looking at the scar on Delta's body.
Rex nodded his head before he rubs Delta's muzzle softly and told her to go to the garden,
The lecturer and the others look at Rex who glances at Delta briefly, it makes them all look at Rex in confusion but then,
Aooouu!!
Delta howled in displeasure as she leaped away,
Looking at this, the lecturer widened his eyes and wanted to stop Delta but Rex stop him, ”What are you doing? Didn't you say that she will rest in the garden?”
”Yes I said that but how can she know where it is”, the lecturer replied with a frown.
Hearing this, Rex chuckles lightly, ”Trust me, she knows where she needs to go and she definitely won't do anything troublesome”
Although Rex assure the lecturer, the lecturer still feel concerned but he eventually let it go.
After the lecturer left, Kyran approaches him from the side.
”I've been meaning to ask, but how exactly do you communicate with Delta?”, Kyran asks curiously, he saw how Delta follow Rex's every command as if she understands Rex.
Rex glance at Kyran briefly before he smirks, ”It's called Predator Instincts”
”Predator what?”, Kyran asks in confusion, but this makes Rex chuckle as he walks inside the university leaving him.
He then said snapping Kyran out of his daze, ”You'll get there”
Hearing this, Kyran was aghast as he runs after Rex, ”What do you mean you'll get there? I have Predator Instincts too!”
