Chapter 55: Mysterious Hole

<dark moon="" has="" arrived=""></dark>

At the exact same moment as the last notification appear,

Rex felt his body changing, he looks at his hands with bloodshot eyes as his body make a cracking sound.

Crack! Crack!

Black fur started to grow from every part of his hands, it is growing at a visible rate.

Rex was astonished by the scene, it is his first time seeing all of this happened with a fully conscious state.

"AAAAKKKHHH!!!", Rosie on the side is wailing in pain.

The first time Rex transforms, he also screams despite having trained during the army to be immune to torture.

The pain is simply unbearable for a human.

Her scream are so loud, one can even hear the pain she felt just by hearing her scream. The scream is echoing inside the cave, it raddled through the entire cave as if it can make the whole cave tremble.

Rex glance at Adhara strugglingly, his eyes are hazy but he can clearly see Adhara's pained expression as her body wiggles uncontrollably, 'So that's what happened during transformation', Rex thought

Then suddenly,

Rex felt his skull cracking uncontrollably, he can see it with his own eyes that his mouth slowly turns into a snout.

Rex started to feel the overwhelming pain, he gritted his teeth so hard that is started to bleed.

If not for his consciousness,

Rex is probably already bitten his tongue to distract him from this pain, but he knows if he does that then he'll die.

But soon, Rex's face turns solid red.

He can no longer hold his desire to shout, "AAAAHHH!!"

Their scream and wails were loud but it is muffled by the waterfall

Rosie who is not far from the waterfall is sitting under a tree, she glances worriedly in the waterfall's direction.

She remembers clearly when Rex transform the first time,

Rex's consciousness disappeared during the transformation, that night Rosie was lucky.

She blocks the direct moonlight by closing the curtains, Rex's willpower is also strong enough to bring back a little bit of his consciousness.

This weakens Rex's link with the moonlight, this helps Rex in seizing the opportunity to distance himself from Rosie.

But now,

Rosie looks in the waterfall's direction, 'This is an opened field, nothing can block the direct moonlight except that cave'

She then bit her lips in worry, 'If Rex can't control his transformation, what should I do?'

Meanwhile inside the hidden cave,

Rex and Adhara's scream turns into a growling sound, the both of them started to look more and more like Werewolf.

Rex's body is covered with black fur, while Adhara's has black fur here and there.

Not long after, the growling stops.

Rex slowly gets up from the ground, he's still connecting with his new body, his Werewolf form.

</increase>

Notifications appeared in front of him, Rex is still feeling dizzy so he didn't quite read the notifications.

He leans on the cave wall while holding his head,

Rex's body is now exactly like a fully grown Werewolf unlike his half-state before, his muscle is bulging and thick. His legs turn into hind legs, his mouth turns into a snout that is filled with razor-sharp teeth, and his eyes glow dark blue.

After adjusting to his transformation,

Rex can feel the power coursing through his veins, he feels like he can take on anyone right now.

'So this is my Werewolf form, I'm probably almost as strong as a normal Werewolf', Rex thought as he clenched his fists.

He then suddenly notice the other changes, 'I can see everything clearly!'

Rex looks at his surrounding,

He was surprised by his eyesight! His eyes can catch a drop of water dripping from the cave top clearly and it is in slow motion!

Rex glances at the surroundings, he can even see the tiniest ant that is on the corner!

He was fully surprised by the Werewolf's eyesight, 'It's godlike I must say, No wonder they're so strong'

After inspecting himself,

Rex wanted to see how's Adhara doing but suddenly his eyes widened in shock,

Adhara is not there!

Rex immediately dashes to the cave mouth, he gripped the cave mouth with his bare hand and crushing it.

'I still have to get accustomed to this', Rex thought before suddenly he caught a weird smell.

Sniff!

His nose caught a weird smell that is coming from his south, he also smells a little bit of Adhara's scent.

He then looks in a direction before disappearing from the spot.

Before Rex notice, Adhara went missing,

Rosie who is gluing her eyes on the waterfall suddenly saw something came out of it, she knitted her eyes trying to assess the creature.

'Is that Rex? No...It's Adhara!', Rosie thought before she realizes the womanly figure of the creature.

Adhara's eyes are not the same as usual,

Her eyes are glowing bright yellow, her body becomes more muscular and her body emits a greenish aura as she sniffs around.

She then seems to sense something before her eyes went bloodshot, Adhara then jumped away leaving the waterfall.

'Where is she going?', Rosie thought in worry, she knows Adhara is consumed by her transformation right now.

Just as she wanted to wait for Rex's signal, suddenly a huge black creature crawls out of the cave.

Its aura makes Rosie felt a sense of oppression even though it is quite far from her,

The creature is filled with black fur but there is a dash of light blue fur on its right hand, its eyes glow dark blue that looks brighter in the night.

The creature's claws gripped the cave mouth, it smashes the rock that it grips.

'Is that...Rex?!! Why is he so different?', Rosie screamed inside her head.

Rex right now is completely different from his half-state during the blood moon, his appearance greatly shocked Rosie to her core.

Rosie slowly back away, 'His aura...He's almost as strong as a mid-rank four!!'

But then suddenly, Rex sniffs the air before his eyes slowly landed on Rosie.

They maintain eye contact for a few seconds that feels like an eternity for Rosie, but suddenly Rex disappeared from his spot.

The night engulfs his body, Rosie can't keep track of Rex's movement.

'What?! Where did he go? Did he manage to control it or not?!', Rosie started to panic.

She held the protection rune of her hand, her hand started to get sweaty as she readied herself to crush the rune.

Rosie knows that the protection rune that she brought may not be able to block Rex during his transformation, especially after feeling his aura.

Rosie looks around with a panicked expression, she's desperately trying to find Rex but how can she.

She can't even sense Rex when he's normal,

Now that Rex is in his transformation state, it is literally impossible for Rosie to sense Rex. Even some rank four Awakeend might not be able to sense him.

Just as she was getting frustrated, she suddenly feels an eerie aura behind her. The aura sends a shiver down her spine.

Grrr!!

A low growling sound was heard from her back, she gulps forcefully while slowly turning her body.

What's standing behind her make her legs turns into jelly,

She fell to the ground butt first as her lips trembled in fright, her eyes widened fearfully, 'I'm dead!!'

She closed her eyes abruptly but suddenly,

"Ro..sie"

Rex called her name weirdly, he is still not accustomed to his new body.

Hearing Rex's low baritone voice, Rosie opened her eyes in shock, "Rex?! You manage to control it?!"

Rex nodded to Rosie,

Rosie felt immense relief, she exhales a long breath after confirming Rex is in control.

She then raises her head to meet Rex's eyes, her hands are moving by themselves as she touches Rex's face as if she's mesmerized by it.

"So this is your transformation, or should I call, your true self?", she said while embracing Rex's snout.

Hearing this, Rex snorted, "No, this...is not Rex. I'm a Supernatural, but...my heart is still that of... Humans"

Rosie smiles charmingly and replied, "Supernatural or not, as long as it's you...It doesn't matter to me"

He doesn't know why but the anger boiling inside him suddenly felt cool as if Rosie's word is filled with magic that can make him calm down.

Rex then held Rosie's hand and asks, "Adhara?"

Hearing this, Rosie stepped back and replied, "I saw Adhara went that way, she looks like she's targeting something"

After saying that, Rex suddenly carries Rosie up in a princess style.

"What are you...", before Rosie can finish her sentence, Rex suddenly bolted like a streak of lightning.

WHOOSH!!

"WAAAHH!!", Rosie screamed in surprise.

Rex held Rosie on his shoulder, his speed is so fast that the trees are brushing past them before Rosie can even see them.

Rex's speed is greatly enhanced because of the Dark Moon, his speed is now comparable to at least early-rank four Awakened.

SWOOSH!!!

Rosie looks down at Rex's hind legs and saw them moving like a blur, her eyes can't keep up and she started to feel dizzy.

Not long after, Rex suddenly stops.

He looks at Rosie worriedly before Rosie replied, "I'm okay, just need to rest for a bit before continuing"

Rosie held her mouth wanting to throw up, but then Rex's voice seeped into her ears, "We're here"

Hearing this, Rosie looks to her back.

She saw a big broken tree that is squashed by two huge boulders, in the middle of the two boulders is a small hole.

The hole looks small but that is if it's compared to the two huge boulders,

Although the hole looks small, it can fit Rex's big burly body with still some room left.

"What do you mean we're here? Where's Adhara?", Rosie asks after she glances left and right only to find trees.

Rex frowns, 'Her scent is obviously in front of me, but where?... Did she get inside that hole?'

Rex approaches the hole between the boulders, the hole is dark with no light at all. He felt nothing strange from the hole, it just looks ordinary and felt ordinary.

Looking at Rex, "Go inside Rex, why are you so scared about it. You're a big Werewolf for god sake"

Hearing this, Rex suddenly had the urge to smack Rosie but he held it in.

He then walks inside the hole,

Just when his hand went inside the hole, his body suddenly vanished in front of Rosie.

"REX?! Where did you go?!", Rosie shouted in panic.

The cold eerie night makes her feel afraid especially when she's all alone, the cold wind blows on her neck as the bushes shaking weirdly.

'I got a bad feeling about this', Rosie thought in worry.

She bit her lips and walks inside the hole too before her body also vanished from the spot just like Rex.
