Chapter 538 Effort For Trust

"...should I say the new Dark Prince?"

With nothing in their surrounding that can block the breeze of cold wind from the night, the bone-chilling breeze can be felt directly through their skins. It's also somewhat amplified by the strong eye contact between the both of them.

Knowing the rising star of humanity directly, this kind of news feels like a trainwreck.

Giana has a newfound hope for humanity with such a strong genius in their arsenal, but to think that the so-called strong genius that she had put hope into turns out to be a Werewolf has never crossed her mind even once.

Something that shocking shouldn't be happening, but the proof is right in front of her.

Rex in his Werewolf form that has finally turned into the peak of a Werewolf existence stands in front of her exposing his full figure, the black ashes, and King Mark shows the inhuman side of him that will make anyone feel a hint of crisis.

If known by the public, they definitely will feel undecided about the name Rex Silverstar.

Becoming the strongest youngsters amongst his peers and helped humanity in many endeavors through untraced methods, Giana can't help but feel the thin line between them starting to get blurry.

Upon seeing their intense eye contact overflowing with silence, Evelyn started to sweat a little.

"Lady Giana, you're still alive right now because of the person you're accusing. Isn't that enough to prove that he's on our side? This is simply an act driven by emotion, use your logic on this"

Giana glances at Evelyn that defended Rex before she smiles in ridicule.

Looking up and down at Evelyn that is still in her Royal Luna form emitting such intense energy of a Supernatural, Giana has nothing but scorn for Evelyn that turns out to also be a Supernatural. It was clearly seen through her expression that doesn't have the friendliness of her before.

"It's not very believable coming from you now, does it? I'm thinking very clearly right now..."

Evelyn clenched her jaw finding nothing to refute what Giana said. In her eyes, Evelyn looks like the underling of the new Dark Prince. Any form of defense coming from her will prove nothing, it contributes nothing at all.

When she was about to refute, Rex raises his arms signaling for her to stop.

Rex kept looking directly at Giana's eyes convincingly despite the clear suspicion in her eyes, he pause for a couple of seconds before finally opening his mouth, "I know how we look and I also understand your position, but despite your suspicion, it doesn't change the fact that I helped humanity numerous time"

"At least you could give us a chance to prove ourselves before coming to a conclusion"

Although it's a hard truth to swallow, Rex knows that whatever they say right now will not help in convincing Giana. He understands her point of view greatly. If he were in her position, he would also be suspicious.

In addition to that, Rex gave crucial information that comes from thin air.

Despite in reality he knows such information from his endeavor alongside the help from the system, nobody knows the existence of the system, and of course, this makes Giana completely suspicious of him.

"And how are you going to prove your innocence in this?"

Squinting her eyes sharply, Giana asks knowing that most answers will not convince her.

Rex went silent for a moment thinking of a possible solution to prove himself and the others of their innocence, a proof that will convince Giana that they're not an infiltrator sent by the Supernaturals to sabotage from within.

With his quick wit, he catches a plausible solution. It's possible now with his current power.

"I'll satisfy your doubtful emotions towards us, but I need to catch the fleeing Werewolves right now. In the meantime, the others would be here so you know that I will definitely come back. If you view me as a Werewolf, then you know that Werewolf treasure their pack members"

Upon hearing this, Giana kept silent before she finally nodded her head.

Before pursuing Arnulf, Ruston, and Ian, Rex stretches his hand before he asks softly, "Giana... Care to give me your hand for a moment?", the sudden request surprised Giana before her expression turned.

It's clear that she doesn't trust Rex judging from her expression, but this makes Rex chuckle.

"Don't be scared, if I wanted to kill you then I wouldn't waste my time conversing with you. Just give me your hand so I can help you...", Rex added to calm Giana's obnoxious mind. Since she can feel Rex's rampaging power, she knows what he said is true.

Giana then reaches for Rex's hand despite the clear hesitation in her expression.

Even touching Rex's hand alone makes Giana subconsciously hold her breath as she prepares for any kind of surprise attack. But Rex did nothing but look at her alert expression with a light sigh.

'System, scan her for me. Find the problem that caused her legs to be like that'

<Scanning...>

<Completed!>

<Giana's body has been infiltrated by contaminated Arcane Mana from the Blood Infant, she needs to be rid of the contaminated Arcane Mana in order to fully recuperate and use her Arcane Mana normally>

'How can I get rid of the contaminated Arcane Mana from her?'

<Only the summoner of the Blood Infant can control and get rid of the contaminated Arcane Mana>

Upon reading the last notification from the system Rex was pulled into his thoughts as the answer from the system is vague, he expected a method to help Giana but it seems this contaminated Arcane Mana is more severe than he thought.

Rex unconsciously let Giana's hand go with her looking at him in confusion.

But while he's thinking of a possible solution, his eyes suddenly widened upon realizing something, 'The Blood Infant should be summoned by the Blood Devourer right...? If that's the case then Calidora should be the one that can help Giana, in that case...'

Without wasting any more time, Rex knelt in front of Giana before touching her legs.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

"Stay still for a minute, I want to try something", Rex replied softly, he puts the palm of his hand on Giana's leg before he closes his eyes. Focusing entirely on the arcane mana that is dwelling inside.

It's very vague but after a moment, Rex can feel the evil energy inside of her.

Rex penetrates his energy slowly into Giana's legs making her groan in pain, she falls to the ground but was caught by Evelyn. But even with her signaling to stop, Rex kept going without a care in the world.

Slowly the energy from him makes contact with the evil energy dwelling inside Giana's body.

But as soon as he made contact with the evil energy, nothing happened and in fact, the energy resonated well with him. It's like his energy and the evil energy act as one, Rex can easily attract the evil energy.

After managing to link with the evil energy, Rex opened his eyes.

With the serious expression he's wearing alongside the scream of pain that Giana let out, Rex firmly ties his energy with the evil energy before he slowly pulls the evil energy out of Giana's legs. He did it slowly but Giana felt as if her entire body was being ripped open.

"AARGHHH!!"

Her scream filled the entire place as Rex extract the evil energy out of her body.

Evelyn watches this from the side trying to give strength to Giana by holding her tightly, she saw the contaminated Arcane Mana being pulled out. It kept coming out like an endless stream of water without any sign of ending.

Rex can't help but frown seeing the contaminated Arcane Mana that exceeds his expectation.

It takes a minute for the entire contaminated Arcane Mana to be extracted from Giana, and instantly after that Giana's legs get better at a visible rate. With the contaminated Arcane Mana floating beside him, Rex puts it into the inventory before refocusing back on Giana.

Feeling the changes instantly, Giana widens her eyes in absolute surprise.

'As I thought... with the curse still binding her with me, I can also control the contaminated Arcane Mana just as good as Calidora', Rex thought while nodding his head in confirmation, it's just a try but it turns into a huge success.

With Giana slowly healing, Rex turns around intending to move once more.

"Rex!"

Upon hearing his name being called, Rex looks over his shoulder seeing Giana looking at him.

But when Giana was about to say something, Rex beat her to it and said, "Just stay here and focus on healing your legs, we'll discuss the matters more once I get back. For now, I need to find and kill the Alpha Werewolves that manage to escape"

Rex turns his head away again before looking up to the Dark Full Moon.

Although he has felt a connection with the moon ever since he turned into a Werewolf, the feeling of connection is amplified now that he has the King Mark. It's also the Dark Full Moon, the origin of the King Mark he got from the Countess of the Dark Luniric.

Taking a deep breath, Rex's body sucked the moonlight energy like a vortex.

With the power that is currently coursing through his body the effect spans miles wide, the King Mark on his forehead started to vibrate with energy even stronger. Upon gathering sufficient energy, the King Mark explodes a black shockwave that travels faster than light.

It went through everything on the horizon and beyond like subtle trade wind.

On the other side of the place, a Werewolf that has half of its body scorched and another Werewolf that travels in another dimension can feel the black shockwave. They're already dozens of miles away, but the black shockwave reaches them in a blink of an eye.

Despite clenching their jaws preparing for an impact, they both felt nothing but a light breeze.

The unexpected effect puts a frown on the half-scorched Werewolf while the Werewolf escaping through another dimension has his expression turned pale, it did nothing physically but it definitely did something.

A mark was etched on their souls binding their presence to the caster of the black shockwave.

Knowing that he has been branded by the black shockwave on the soul, the Werewolf escaping through another dimension hastens his pace desperately. This Werewolf is definitely Arnulf which is already nearing the Great Barricade.

If he reaches the Supernatural territory then he can use many forces to stall for time.

But knowing about the black shockwave that went past his body earlier, the urgency in his eyes becomes even more evident, 'That lunatic branded my location already! But I'm in the Twilight Dimension, he can't possibly reach me but just to make sure I need to get out of this damned human territory'

Picking up his pace, Arnulf puts more power into his dash heading to the Great Barricade.

With his entire being dwelling inside the Twilight Dimension, the material dimension can only see a fragment of white light traversing through the place like a sparkling ghost. But it's no doubt was Arnulf escaping for his life.

'It's a dimension that can only be used by ancient Royalty, he would never be able to touch me'

Imbuing himself with moonlight energy to enhance his physical abilities, Arnulf kept going disregarding the pain all over his body, especially his throat that is crushed. Even though he successfully escapes, his throat is still refusing to heal.

Rex's power is too much for his weak bloodline to handle, it really irritates him.

Werewolf Race itself hardly has any Moonlight Spell regarding healing as their body is already capable of healing, it seems Arnulf also doesn't know much about that sector of magic making it hard for him to deal with the wounds.

But just as he stomps on a boulder and dashes, a shadow suddenly appeared in the sky.

Arnulf widens his eyes seeing the shadow blocking his track, he pulls back his body with sheer force as he falls back to the ground. It was Rex that blocked him, and he can't believe that he got outpaced this much.

Using yet another rune, Arnulf erases the sparkling white of his presence in the material world.

It was an ability to help the Werewolf Royalty to escape from sensory opponents, and surely Rex wouldn't be able to locate him now, 'The brand he did before only tells him the rough location, with this he wouldn't be able to find me'

Giving a mocking smile, Arnulf dashes past Rex that is looking around in search of his presence.

Just as Arnulf's body side by side with Rex's body, his dashing momentum suddenly stopped as he feels something grabbing his throat once again. Arnulf looks down before he was surprised once more, Rex always did the unthinkable.

Even though he's in the Twilight Dimension, Rex's hand penetrated the dimension easily.

Rex managed to grab Arnulf by the neck by tearing through the dimension with his dark energy-cloaked claws, he then exposed a grin before turning to look at Arnulf directly in the eyes.

"Where are you going? As a new candidate, it's pretty rude to run away from your Alpha..."
