Chapter 287: Carabidis Exchequer (1/2)
”One Light Elemental Orb for the Prince of Werewolf, It is my pleasure...”
The spirit bowed slightly in front of Rex and the others while handing the white orb, its posture looks polite but Rex can see a slight scowl and a hint of mock in its tone.
It's like the spirit is amused by this for some reason, and it makes Rex a bit uncomfortable.
”Prince of Werewolf?”, Rex asks, his eyes are looking at the bowing spirit questioningly because he doesn't know what it means by calling him, Prince.
Hearing this, the spirit straighten its back before walking closer to Rex, ”You don't know?”
Rex stands his ground fearlessly before the spirit points at the horn on Rex's head, ”These horns are the sign of a prince, the Prince of Werewolf”
”The monstrous terror of the full-moon”
”The rightful King of the Werewolf below the Origin”
”Bloodline of the Royal Black”
”It is fate that brought you here, and I'm honored to present this as a small gift for you, so please...”
The spirit brought the white orb in front of Rex's eyes before it put the orb on Rex's hand.
”Accept my gift, and may the Werewolves thrive in this era”, the spirit added.
But this makes Rex even more suspicious since the spirit is at an overwhelming advantage, and although he's the so-called prince, it doesn't need an expert to identify that the spirit in front of him is not a Werewolf.
He even saw a glimpse of disgust in the spirit's face while it said the Royal Black part.
Rex held the white orb in his hand before he asks, ”What do you want in return?”
This question makes the spirit smirk, but it then shakes its head and replies, ”Absolutely nothing, I'm just happy to meet one of the Princes”
With the spirit's two-faced innocent look, Rex definitely didn't trust the spirit.
”What do you mean by the Rightful King? Am I a royalty or something?”, Rex asks curiously.
When he picked the Royal Black Werewolf as his path of Evolution, he didn't expect that the Royal Black Werewolf turns out to be an actual royalty bloodline.
He didn't know that much about his bloodline except for its power.
The spirit then looks at Rex weirdly, the spirit then said, ”Of course you are. Your existence will make the Werewolf rejoice, but be wary, being royalty doesn't come without responsibility”
'Werewolf will rejoice huh', Rex thought with a frown.
He then gives the white orb to Adhara before the spirit said, ”I'm sorry but I can't stay here any longer, I hope you have a safe trip since this is the human territory and all”
”How do you know that?”, Rex asks with a frown.
But the spirit only smiles mysteriously with the crack on its body started to stretch, it then glances above slowly, ”Especially since there might be a little problem waiting for you up there”, it said hinting something to Rex.
Hearing this, Rex furrowed his eyebrows harder.
”Problem? What kind of problem?”, Rex asks in confusion.
The spirit didn't answer as it closes its eyes, the crack spread around its body as its entire existence was about to shatter.
Right before the spirit was about to shatter, ”Oh yeah, can you take the other sword?”
”Sword?”, Rex asks before looking at the Necthu sword in his hand.
The spirit then added, ”Take the Fire Core and put it on the small pyramid of the Fire Elemental, the temple should give you another sword, and please use that to stab me”
”Why would I do that?”, Rex asks back.
He's trying to figure out what the spirit in front of him really is, the spirit is very mysterious and the way it responds to Rex's question suggests that it is hiding something more than what meets the eye.
It then replied, ”If I shatter on my own, you can't get the Gem inside there”, the spirit points at the blurry entrance that Kyran tried to get inside before.
”And no Gem means you three won't survive leaving this place”, it added.
The spirit smiles playfully while saying this, and with how mysterious the spirit is, Rex doesn't know exactly if what the spirit is saying is true or not.
'It definitely bounded to this temple, just what is this spirit', Rex thought with a frown.
He then glances at Kyran before giving the Fire Orb,
But then, Rex was caught off guard to see Kyran's hideous expression as if he wanted to eat the spirit in front of him alive.
The anger is clear inside his face, and Rex didn't quite get why he's angry.
Looking at Kyran grinding his teeth, Adhara takes the Fire Orb after realizing that Kyran is not moving from his spot and just kept glaring at the spirit.
Adhara looks at Rex hesitantly before she runs outside to get the sword that the spirit talked about that seems to be the only thing that can kill it.
It didn't take long for Adhara to put the Fire Orb inside the small pyramid.
Rex glance at the Nechtu sword in his hand with a frown, the Nechtu sword started to dissipate in his hand simultaneously as Adhara put the Fire Orb inside the small pyramid.
After doing that, the same thing happened,
The right statue suddenly looks in Adhara's direction before the sword in its hand flew and stab the ground in front of Adhara blazing with the fire elements.
Its appearance is the same as the Nechtu sword but this one is a fire attribute.
Adhara can feel the same aura as the Fire Elemental they fought before, it's definitely a sword made from that Fire Elemental.
She then wanted to run back into the temple but stopped,
Adhara saw that the Nechtu sword appears in the right statue's hand again, The Nechtu sword that was supposed to be in Rex's hand went back to the right statue. It seems they can't use two swords simultaneously.
While this is all happening, Rex saw the spirit makes a cracking sound.
The crack already spread across its body as it almost shattered, but Adhara arrive right on time bringing back the Fire sword before handing it to Rex.
”Here”, she said.
Rex received the Fire Nechtu Sword before he glance at the spirit in thought.
”Stab me right here”, the spirit said while pointing at the middle of its chest.
It then added, ”The Gem should be in there, and I advised you two to not get inside there”, the spirit points at the blurry entrance before it looks at Adhara and Kyran.
After saying that, Rex stabbed the spirit right on its chest.
STAB!
SWOOSH!
The fire from the sword engulf the spirit entirely, cracking sound can be heard as the spirit's body cracked like glass until suddenly,
Shatter!
A subtle shockwave exploded after the spirit shattered, Its body exploded into million pieces before a notification appeared.
