Chapter 622 Perfect Human

While touching his cheek that got punched powerfully, Azzen's expression darkens as he can feel the demonic energy that he channeled to his cheek was disrupted by unknown energy. It was weirdly familiar but recognizing the energy is very hard for him.

Recognizing this weird energy feels like trying to remember something from the far past.

Similar to trying to remember what he did back when he was still a couple of years old being groomed in the demonic fire in the deepest part of the Demon Castle, he can't really grasp what this weird energy blocking his demonic energy.

But he's sure of one thing, 'Another ninth-rank realm entity...', Azzen thought with a frown.

"Blue Demon? I expected King Saruth to be here, but no matter, you're strong enough to fight with"

Glancing at the person that pummeled him down from the sky, Azzen saw a very muscular figure towering over him. The figure's size alone makes it hard to call him a human, it's just unnatural for a human to have this girth and muscles.

On top of that, the figure is gazing directly at him with a light smile that makes other feels uneasy.

Adhara who jumped away from the Werewolves she was fighting saw Azzen suddenly get sent straight down from the sky, and her eyes then caught the sight of the figure standing not far from Azzen that got planted into the ground.

Squinting her eyes, Adhara then remembered that she has seen this figure before.

'It's the leader of the SCO! I've seen him back during the official public meeting between the SCO and the UWO', Adhara thought in realization, the figure turns out to be the King of the SCO, King John.

Pshh!

While Adhara just realized the figure is King John, green smoke suddenly exploded behind him.

It came out of nowhere as the explosion of green smoke just happened, but soon enough a couple of figures came out of the green smoke. Four of them can be seen, they wear the same style of robe but with different colors.

From the looks of it, they are clearly the SCO messengers.

Upon their arrival much of the Supernatural's attention was pulled towards them, the Werewolves and Incubus, in particular, sensed the mighty aura and glanced toward King John and the SCO messengers that for some reason joined in the fight.

​ Although their arrival caught Adhara and the others by surprise, it seems they were here to help.

Despite what has happened to Rex and the others with humanity earlier that decimated countless people, King John and the SCO messengers still decided to help, that attack straight at Azzen clearly shows their intention in joining the fight.

Slowly Azzen gets back up to his feet while glaring warily at King John.

Even though the entire place is filled with demonic energy, covered by the invisible barrier, and also crawling with an army of Supernaturals, King John doesn't seem to have any worry inside his face as he looks down at Azzen from his high eye level.

"Coming here is a huge mistake, but I'm kind. I'll let you live if you walk away...", Azzen said.

But despite the threat that was hinted clearly in his tone, King John's smirk grows even wider completely taking no weight from the threat, "Looking at injustice with my own eyes is really not my thing. Mustering this many against a few, isn't this a little bit too excessive?"

Clang!

Azzen slammed his black spear onto the ground, sending a soundwave to the surrounding.

With his darkened expression realizing that this task of killing Rex would not be that simple, he then said trying to convince King John and the SCO messengers to walk away, "I believe you still haven't realized it yet, but the man you're trying to save is not a man, he's a Werewolf instead. Humans don't work with Supernatural, so I suggest you leave right now while you can..."

Upon hearing this King John chuckled lightly as if what Azzen said is funny to him.

"You don't need to tell me that, I know that much already...", King John replied with a heavy tone.

A moment before,

Just as the fight between Rex, Giana, and Sebrof ended, King John and Prof. K arrived at the scene and saw the destruction that happened there. It was horrifying to look at, blood and intestines were everywhere from the people being struck by the collateral energy.

Even looking at it alone makes King John's blood boils and quickens inside his veins.

Since he knows enough from the report he received that Rex going berserk was not something that just suddenly happened, King John immediately shifted his gaze to Sebrof but quickly turns to Giana. Out of the two, guilt was oozing out of her more than Sebrof.

"I want an explanation for this..."

Knowing that they are basically allies, they need to tell what happened here to King John.

But the arrival of King John and Prof. K was like a slap to both Sebrof and Giana's cheeks, their alliance was possible because of Rex. None of this would even be possible without Rex that wanted humanity to unite together against the Supernatural.

Now everything changed, it's not even clear whether Rex would only hate the Supernatural now.

Knowing that Giana can't speak right now with the wound on her face and also the guilt inside of her watching the fallout of Ratmawati City that was caused by her own action, Sebrof decided to take over and told King John and Prof. K what happened here.

Without even censoring anything, Sebrof tells the truth of the story.

Starting from the fact that Giana wanted to kill Rex after realizing that he was a Werewolf all the way to Zero killing both of Rex's parents, he didn't keep anything and just tell the truth. It was their fault and they need to own it.

One wrong move and Ratmawati City was reduced to this state, such a tragedy is very devastating.

"Both of us try our best to take him down but having two King Marks, Rex manages to fight on equal grounds with us. In the end, we got lucky. He snapped out of his berserk state and decided to leave", Sebrof explained with a sigh, he was sitting on the rubble with an exhausted expression.

Upon hearing this King John kept his clear eyes on Sebrof for a brief moment.

Processing the story that Sebrof told he can't help but shifted his eyes back to Giana that is only looking down to the ground, "I was always told that to have immense power, I need to have a strong mind and heart first. Now I know that it's true, immense power without the two requirements will always equal destruction. But for some reason, the world has given a path for people that don't have the two requirements to have immense power..."

Walking a couple of steps, King John squatted in front of Giana with a slow movement.

Giana saw King John's thick legs standing in front of her before she slowly raises her gaze to see him, and what greeted her was King John's fierce eyes containing a hint of disgust that are looking directly into her eyes.

"Lady Giana... you're one of those people. Power is wasted on you", King John whispers.

Just like a sword stabbing directly into her heart, the words that came out of King John's mouth were a slap to her face and also manage to break her reality. It feebled the pride inside of her, proving clearly of what King John said is true.

After saying that King John then stands back up before looking at Sebrof.

Pausing for a moment while looking at Sebrof, King John then turns around with his hands clasped behind him, "Rex joined the SCO not long after he came back from the military, before the brightness he showed in the ways of the Awakened. We've been searching for candidates with gifts to make them stronger through our ways. But soon enough we realized that he was not just a simple man with innate gifts, instead, he was a Werewolf"

"Our vision is the same as the UWO, we wanted to eradicate all Supernaturals. It's true..."

Walking back to Prof. K and stopping beside him, King John looks up to the bright sun before he continues, "Losing someone dear to a Supernatural is also something in my past, I also have every reason to be angry. But my mind is strong, and I decided to let him live knowing full well that his intention is true"

Glancing over his shoulder, King John gazes sharply at Sebrof and Giana.

"Rex's intention in helping humanity is pure, no matter if he's a Werewolf at the end of the day. Any great leader would use that to humanity's advantage, but it seems you are not one of them...", King John added sharply before nodding to Prof. K.

Just like that Sebrof clasped his hands together and squeezes them tightly.

Everything that went wrong is definitely because of them taking poor decisions after poor decisions, and he realized it late and Zero has already done the deeds that make the situation irreversible. Nothing can turn back the situation to normal again.

Upon seeing King John and Prof. K intending to leave, Sebrof called out to stop them.

"Where are you going?"

"Fixing the mess you make..."

Without even stopping and turning around, King John replied before his body alongside Prof. K's body got engulfed with green smoke again before they both disappears from the place leaving Sebrof and Giana in a worst state than before.

At first, they are gloomy from their own regret. but now it was amplified by King John's words.

Back to the present,

Upon hearing what King John said Azzen can't help but frown while looking at King John.

King John cracks his neck before he started advancing toward Azzen, his topless torso filled with muscles to the brim exposed clearly. Hanging by his shoulders was a black cape with crow pauldrons that he takes off as he advances forward.

When the black cape falls to the ground, the nine-headed crow tattoo on his shoulder can be seen.

Inside the SCO hierarchy ranks the head of the crow tattoo represented the rank of the member, and the nine-headed crow tattoo shows that he was the King of the SCO and also a ninth-rank realm entity that is equivalent to the strongest Awakened and Supernaturals.

As King John prepares to engage, golden energy started to ooze out of his back.

Under the gazes of the others, an engraving that is shaped like an animal's head with a crown slowly surfaced which was the source of the golden energy oozing out of him. At the exact moment that the golden energy came out, Azzen's eyes widen in surprise.

On the other side, Flunra that is currently fighting the Red Demons also stopped for a moment.

Not only that but the Red Demons or any other Supernaturals around also stopped their fight, their attention was shifted instantly to King John that has become the center of attention. Many of he Supernaturals can feel their legs shaking unavoidably.

Each one of them seems to sense the same thing coming out of King John.

Looking to the side where King John is advancing toward Azzen, Flunra's eyes widened as he can smell a scent that is impossible for him to forget. It was the scent that is engrained deeply inside his mind, and also the mind of all the Supernaturals here.

'It's not possible... how come he has this scent?!', Flunra thought with his eyes widened in shock.

Adhara was the only one that was confused by this as she saw that everyone including Gistella was stunned the moment when King John's golden energy leaked out, she was the only one that doesn't recognize the scent.

Despite not recognizing the scent, she can smell the weird scent that enters her nose.

It's rich, deep, but acrid. A scent that she has never smelled before, and the scent feels like it was alive, or the scent that a fleshy living creature has. Adhara was confused but clearly, this scent is something seeing that the fight has stopped completely.

Flunra gazes at King John and saw the engraving on his back which he recognizes clearly.

'Many humans talked about these Black Hands that are not Awakened but very strong, I heard them talking about it back in the hospital. Black Crow Tattoo is their distinctive feature. Now I know how they get that strong, this man is the cause of it...'

'Out of the humans I met in this era, he has the closest scent to the Ancient Humans'

'Not only that, but the engraving on his back shows that he has a very rare mutation of the Ancient Humans. It was akin to the Enchanter we have. Back then we can't compare them to Enchanters lest we want to be killed, but they have a similar job as an Enchanter, which is making others stronger'

'What was the name of the Bloodline again...? Oh, yeah, I remember. I believe it's Perfect Human...'
