Chapter 226: Humanity Crisis (2/2)

But then suddenly,

Creak...

The entrance door opened as the butlers and the maids come inside the room, they're already wearing their uniforms and ready to work.

Although they're the butlers and the maids of Rex's room, they're not exactly living here.

They have their own quarter in Faraday University, and they will come here early in the morning just like now.

After the butlers and the maids went inside, they all are shocked as they saw a silhouette sitting on the sofa beside the entrance under the shadow.

They all jumped in shock upon seeing Rex's silhouette.

”Sir Rex, you're up early today. May I know why?”, the butler said politely.

Hearing this, Rex's eyes gaze onto the butler making him look down in fright, ”What's your name?”, Rex asks softly.

”Forgive me sir, but didn't I tell you my name before?”, the butler asks.

Rex scoffs lightly as he replied, ”I don't remember you telling your name, so I'm going to ask again, What is your name?”

”Stuart Tiller”, the butler, Stuart said while bowing his head.

After knowing the butler's name, Rex then said, ”I'm going to give you one more chance Stuart, I will forget about your betrayal but if you did it again then the butler beside you will be your replacement”

Getting brought up to the conversation, the younger butler on the side widens his eyes before he bows his head.

”I'm thankful, Sir”, Stuart replied politely again.

Rex then added, ”Also, I don't want too many maids here so arrange two maids only in here starting tomorrow and one of them should be Clarice”

After saying that, Rex waves his hand before all of them disperse.

Rex then opens the system shop after Stuart and the maids leave him alone, he scrolls through the shop and bought a couple of things.

'I should probably buy two high-rank spellbooks, and should I buy him too?', Rex thought.

After deliberating for a while, Rex finally bought the items before he went back to his room.

When he opened the door, he still finds Adhara is sleeping soundly.

He didn't intend to disturb Adhara's sleep as he sit on the bed softly and takes out a demonic core from his inventory.

Instantly after the demonic core got out of the inventory, pure demonic energy permeated to the surroundings and it startled Adhara as she jumps out of the bed and takes her daggers on the side.

Realizing the impact of the demonic core, Rex immediately put it back.

”What the heck was that?”, Adhara asks in surprise.

Rex approach Adhara slowly with a wry smile, ”Calm down, it's just an item I got from the demons”, he said trying to calm Adhara down.

”You startled me”, Adhara said with a sigh.

But when Adhara just put down her daggers, ”Here, for you”, Rex said.

He tossed two spellbooks that he bought from the system, it's the spellbooks he bought a while before and another he just bought.

Adhara looks at the spellbooks in confusion, ”That's two Great Spells I got for you, I assume you already reach rank five?”

Hearing this, Adhara smiles as a rune glows on the back of her hands.

Rex chuckles seeing Adhara's proud expression, little did she know that Rex already knew that she had already entered the fifth rank.

'System, is there a soundproof rune I can use to not let the demonic energy go out of this room?', Rex asks the system.

<Do the user want to buy a Suppression Rune for 1,500 gold?>

'Yes!', Rex answered as the rune appear in his inventory.

After that, Rex stands up and touches the wall.

Adhara looks at Rex weirdly as he touches the wall, but after Rex lifts up his hand there is a white glowing rune on the wall which surprises Adhara.

Seeing this, Adhara didn't get surprised anymore because it is Rex.

Rex chuckles lightly, He approaches Adhara with his light steps and stops in front of her,

After stopping in front of her, Rex leans closer, ”I got a gift for you, do you want it on your neck like last time?”, he whispers in Adhara's ear.

This makes Adhara widen her eyes in shock, she didn't understand what Rex means by that and it makes her face red like a tomato.

She stammers as she said, ”W-What do you mean by that?”

”This!”, Rex said with a smirk.

GRAB!

Rex suddenly holds Adhara's on her neck, he lifts her up from the ground, ”Brand!”

Swoosh!!

Right after Rex instructs the branding process to the system, Adhara can feel that her neck is burning from Rex's touch.

It brought her back to the first time she turns into a Werewolf.

But this time it's not a metaphor, but rather the burning sensation is literally as the purple flame in her body burst enveloping her body in flame.

”Arrghh!!”, Adhara shouted painfully.

The process kept going for about two minutes of agony, but as the process progressed Adhara's purple flame also becomes stronger.

It scorched her body in flame as her veins bulge,

After the system gave the notification, Rex let go of her neck as she fall to the ground.

Her chest is heaving up and down as her sweat makes her pajama drenched, the process is painful enough that she need to rest for a few minutes just to talk.

”You could've at least warned me before doing it”, Adhara said weakly.

Hearing this, Rex chuckles lightly, ”You said you like it last time, so I assume you are always ready for that”, he said playfully.

Adhara can only roll her eyes as she said, ”What did you do?”

”Show me your purple fire”, Rex asks before he sat on the edge of the bed.

Adhara stands up with a struggle as her legs shake uncontrollably, Rex smirk playfully while looking at Adhara.

”Shut up!”, Adhara said irritatedly.

Rex can only hold up his hands while waiting for Adhara to stand up.

After she stands up, she then activates her elements as a purple fireball appears on her hand that is blazing powerfully.

Swoosh!!

Rex and Adhara widened their eyes in shock,

They both are surprised by the sudden change in the purple fire, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's twice as powerful as before.

”Damn, I think I just make you stronger than me”, Rex said jokingly.

If he uses only his black lightning against her now, he probably will not win thanks to the Fire Rune he got from the quest before.

Adhara snap out of her daze, ”Well you better start being good to me”, she said playfully too.
