Chapter 281: Power Hungry Werewolf (1/2)
Somewhere in Human Territory.
Inside a deep dark forest that is crawling with mutated animals, there seems to be an alone Werewolf that is walking towards a cave.
The moonlight shone its greyish-silver fur making it glisten.
There is a huge brutal claw wound on its left hind leg that left a nasty scar, it looks gory especially since the scar doesn't heal quite normally but has a bubbly black spot on it.
By the expression of the Werewolf whenever he steps, it seems the wound still hurts.
If Rex was here and see the Werewolf, he will instantly remember this Werewolf to be the Werewolf that he met in Zrolis City. Jarvald or also known as Brutal Grey.
The last time Rex saw Jarvald is in Zrolis City fighting another Werewolf.
It was a brutal and gruesome fight, Jarvald can be seen on a losing side but it seems that he manage to escape from the other Werewolf.
While Jarvald is sitting inside a dark cave,
Shing!
”Hmm?”, he looks back curiously and saw something shooting into the sky.
Mysterious energy shot up to the sky from another place, this energy makes Jarvald looks at it in surprise as if it just saw a ghost.
Jarvald then stands up abruptly, ”This... This can't be”, he mumbles.
Based on Jarvald's expression, he seems to know the energy that just shot up to the sky that only catches his attention.
The other mutated animals around him like squirrels, bats, don't seem to sense it.
Not long after the energy shooting up to the sky, another Werewolf appeared from amongst the trees and approach Jarvald as it too looks at the sky.
This one has different features from Jarvald.
Its fur is black with a hint of silver color around its neck, two mounds can be seen on its chest and the slender and much smaller figure shows that this one is a female.
”Vivian, I'm not dreaming, right? Tell me you sensed it too?”, Jarvald asks lightly.
Hearing this, Vivian also nodded her head while looking at the sky, ”I feel it too. There's no mistaking it, it's the legendary Mythical Presence of the Prince...”
”Then why is the prince here? In human territory”, Jarvald mumbles with a frown.
Vivian approached him with a mutated deer in her hand, she also brought a couple of plants that she will use to the nasty scar on Jarvald's leg.
He then continues, ”Does this have to do with the Alpha in the human territory?”
But upon hearing this, Vivian's eyes suddenly lit up as she looks at Jarvald in excitement, ”If that were the case, then we can hunt the prince down!”
”Based on that Mythical Presence, it seems the prince is not strong yet. If you devour the prince, your bloodline will evolve and you will definitely inherit the pure blood of the prince”, she added.
Jarvald's eyes widen, ”Then we can go back and claim the throne!”
”We'll see if the people still choose King Baralt over me, the new Prince”, Jarvald continues with a savage smile on his face.
After saying that, Vivian's face also becomes brutal as she said, ”Then we'll kill that fucker Bertolf, I long for his hopeless expression and scream of pain”
”Let's go right now, the Prince is not that far”, Bertolf said while standing up.
Both of them have a smile on their faces as they started to gallop in a direction, Jarvald howls arrogantly because of the adrenaline as the mutated animals run away from them.

Kyran glance at Adhara for an answer as Rex's eyes too fall onto Adhara.
Under Rex's gaze, Adhara then recounts the thing that happened while he was gone from the moment she found the brown orb until the sword stabbed the ground.
Hearing all of this, Rex was quite confused, ”Let me check the sword”
Adhara and Kyran makes way for Rex,
Rex takes the brown khopesh sword that lies beside the glowing brown orb, and he immediately inspects the sword that looks beautiful from a glance.
The sword is black in color, it has an amazing sharpness by the touch that can even make a cut on Rex's fingers. Golden brown linings can be seen glowing on the body of the sword that added an aesthetic look to it, and the hilt is also golden brown but the grip is covered with black cloth that makes it comfortable to hold the sword.
Rex then scans the sword with the system.
<Nechtu Foe of Fire>
The sword that can only be created by consuming a Sand Elemental, has an unusual hardness from the Sand Elemental properties and can be manipulated into other forms of weapons. It is known for a fearsome sword that kills fire-related beings.
Upon using Nechtu, the wielder will get have a versatile weapon that can change into any kind of weapon form in an instant and have increased damage to fire-related beings.
After reading the system's description, 'So this sword is birthed after killing the Sand Elemental'
The system stated that this sword can only be created by consuming a Sand Elemental, and Adhara also told him that she found an orb from the Sand Elemental's carcass that she suddenly got pulled onto the black pyramid before it shot brown light to the right statue.
That is when the sword shot towards her and stabbed the ground in front of her.
While thinking this, Rex walks out of the small pyramid.
He's holding the sword in thought before his eyes landed on the small pyramid on the other side that is glowing with red light.
'When I first got here, none of these small pyramids glows', Rex thought.
The first time that he goes to this Carabidis Temple, he didn't even notice that there are these small pyramids since they look ordinary and old.
But now, they suddenly glow with this weird light.
All of the mutated animals are also gone with no trace of them, and Rex saw them going inside the temple in a hurry.
Rex then decided to approach the glowing red small pyramid.
Arriving in front of the glowing small pyramid, Rex stretches out his hand to a symbol on the entrance, the symbol of fire.
'So that's it', Rex thought as he glance at the temple.
The wind symbol small pyramid glows with a brown light before the Sand Elemental appears, this means these small pyramids act as a signal for the other guardians.
This one has a fire symbol on its entrance, then Rex already knows what to expect.
”So the next guardian will be a Fire Elementalist”, Rex mumbles.
After figuring out the pattern of these three small pyramids, Rex went back to the others and explained, ”Our next guardian will be a Fire Elemental, We'll need to go and-”
But before Rex can finish, he suddenly noticed Adhara and Kyran sitting on the ground.
They're exhausted from the fight against the Sand Elemental, Adhara has little to no mana left since she almost used it all on the attack before, while Kyran is very injured.
