Chapter 650 The Mayor

"Is there really nothing we can do?"

"No, we can't do anything. It's not about worldly power anymore, the one that created this is one of the Lunirich Gods and nobody can be compared to them except for the other Gods. Even the Origin is the only one that can converse with them"

Flunra shakes his head, knowing exactly what kind of power they are dealing with.

Although ninth-rank realm entities are the strongest in the current era, he knows that there are more powerful entities back in the Radical Era that surpassed the ninth-rank realm. But now, the Lunirich Gods sit beyond those powerhouses, fixing their place at the absolute top.

Without the help of another power similar to theirs, no creatures can take them on.

Upon hearing this Kyran can't help but clenched both of his fists helplessly, he had just been told about the level of championship and how small the probability of Rex surviving this first ascension trial was. It made him reluctant to just stand here and wait without doing anything.

It's like there is an army of burning ants crawling inside of him, the prospect of waiting is torture.

Sighing to herself knowing full well what Kyran is feeling right now, Adhara then said as they need to at least prepare for the next full moon instead of just waiting. If Rex really did come back then he would definitely want those things to be taken care of.

"Don't worry, Rex will definitely survive this. We know this already, he's not easily killed"

Wanting to keep the vibe around them positive, burning the hopeful thought that Rex would come back to them, she looks at the others and smiled. "Now that you're here, where were you earlier Kyran? Did you go out to clear the cursed creatures?"

"No... I went to the Dark Elves and got important information about Queen Shanaela"

Adhara and Flunra raise both of their eyelashes in interest upon hearing this, they know that Kyran currently wants to persuade Rex in taking in other Supernaturals so that they can protect themselves better. Not a bad idea, but need a very open mind.

But with the death of Mrs. Greene and Robert, there's a chance that Rex would accept that.

Realizing that they both are quite interested in the information he gained, Kyran told them about the Oath Pact that Queen Shanaela made that has been agreed upon by the Dark Elves. It's been said that they wouldn't be joining directly with the war against humans and just let the high-rank Supernaturals do that.

How many races have agreed is still unknown, there could be one or even ten races that agreed.

Since the Dark Elves race, a race that is sitting at the top of the middle-range Supernatural races, there's a high chance that many other races have agreed with the deal. But of course, there shouldn't be that many races that have agreed with the Oath Pack.

Aside from the time that's not that long, there's also the factor of carefulness.

Queen Shanaela has probably already taken this factor into consideration, there might be races that are loyal to the high-rank Supernatural races and would snitch on them if she's careless in giving away this Oath Pact.

It would be very bad if the high-rank Supernaturals find out, severe punishment awaits them then.

"Rex must've told something to her when he decided to let her go, I assume that's why Queen Shanaela made the Oath Pact. But even if Rex agreed to try and recruit the Dark Elves to our side, we still have a long shot at developing a solid relationship with them", Adhara mutters while rubbing her chin.

Upon hearing this, Flunra also nodded his head, agreeing with Adhara.

Although allying themselves with Rex would bring many benefits, there's also the threat that they would be a hunted race by the order of the high-rank Supernatural races. Even if that threat is non-existent, the Silverstar Pack will probably not accept anything less than the subjugation of the Dark Elf race.

Put simply, Rex probably doesn't want anything except for being in a higher position.

If that were really the case then why would the Dark Elf decide to surrender themselves to Rex? They probably wouldn't without gaining something back, and if forced then they could just go back to the Supernatural side.

Everything is complicated when it's involving an entire race like this.

"Let's put that aside for now. Kyran, we need to go", Flunra said while turning to face Kyran.

Flunra then walks outside of the gate while stomping the pool of blood that flooded the great hall because of the red gate portal, he would wait for Kyran outside to prepare the ancient runes that are needed in this situation.

After he left the great hall, Kyran looks at Adhara with a questioning look.

"Rex has tasked both of you to get Evelyn back before the full moon arrives, both of you are going to be his proxies so do anything necessary to make humanity hands Evelyn back to us", Adhara explains, Kyran wasn't here earlier so he didn't know.

Upon hearing this, Kyran nodded his head before he clenched both of his fists.

Slightly gritting his teeth while looking at the red gate portal, he approached it before he raises his arm and punch powerfully at the gate. Kyran did it out of sheer frustration, and also in hope that Rex would hear this and know that they are waiting for him to come back outside.

"Don't die in there, Rex...", Kyran mutters before he turns around and heads to the entrance.

While walking towards the entrance, Kyran wave his hand and said with absolute conviction and confidence, "Take care of the castle, Adhara. We'll definitely bring back Evelyn before the full moon arrives"

Adhara nodded her head and shouted back, "Be careful, the Supernaturals are still after us!"

Nodding his head without even bothering to turn around, Kyran walks out of the entrance before the big entrance closed behind him automatically. Adhara was left alone inside the great hall, standing beside the red gate portal.

Upon the silence covering the whole hall, extensive pressure started to dawn on her.

"I really hope nothing went wrong..."

Meanwhile, inside the human territory.

Walking out of a city in the middle of a barren plain, Evelyn sighs as she looks up to the sky.

After deciding that she would visit the familiar cities in hope of asking notifying them about what had happened to Rex, Evelyn went straight to Eqosa City as it's the closest city to the place she was teleported earlier.

On top of that, she was there when fending the Undead from Eqosa City.

Compared to the last time she was here when the city was still in ruin due to the attack by the army of Undead, the city is looking way better as the walls are already fixed and the destroyed houses are already been rebuilt.

People are starting to have smiles on their faces again, and trades are also running smoothly.

Since this city is an important city that would be very bad if it falls to the hands of Supernatural, there are many Awakened here with the strongest being a seventh-rank realm Awakened from the UWO and also another from the military.

The reason why Evelyn walked out of the city with a sour expression was because of one thing.

Evelyn has talked to the Awakened that governs Eqosa City and also talks with the people about the time that they were attacked by the Undead, they were all quite grateful to the 25 Golden Crest Families' descendants that risked their lives to keep the city standing.

When she asked specifically the people, they can't quite mention the names.

Not only that but the Awakened that governs the city also give his gratitude to Evelyn realizing that she was from the Luc Family, the matter in Ratmawati City has spread but these people don't know that the Werewolf that attacked Ratmawati City is supposed to be Rex.

Having no guarantee of them remembering Rex, Evelyn decided to not tell them the truth.

"It's okay, that's only the first one, there are three more cities to go. The next one is... Beah City", Evelyn mutters inwardly, trying to cheer herself up. Glancing to the side, he heads to the teleportation formation that was relocated to the outside of the city.

Handing the necessary elemental stones to the guards, she then got teleported once again.

At this point, she's already used to being teleported as her body has already adapted to the sensation. A couple of minutes passed, and she open her eyes to find that she was inside a city once again.

From the looks of it, this city should be Beah City.

Since this city is military-based and not an important level 3 city for Ratmawati City, the condition is quite rough but the people here are all hardened through many obstacles that they encounter daily while living in this city.

Most of them got scars that looks to be from mutated animals, showing their daily struggles.

Looking around the place, Evelyn's eyes stopped when she saw a couple of city guards wearing plated armor approaching her from the side. "Please state your business here, it's mandatory by the mayor of Beah City"

"Hmmm? This is the first...", Evelyn mutters silently.

But seeing that the city guards are becoming wary of her, Evelyn smiled politely with her hands raised to her chest level, "My name is Evelyn Luc, I'm here to speak with the mayor of this city. I mean no harm"

Upon hearing this, the city guards freeze for a moment, warily sizing Evelyn up and down.

Just as she was about to say something more, a person from the side who is leaning on a wooden pole while eating an apple intervenes, "Don't bother to block her way. If she decided to ransack the city, then none of us can do anything about it"

Evelyn glanced at the man before she smile wryly, she realized that the man is an Awakened too.

Although she's not that strong back in Ratmawati City, and also amongst the Silverstar Pack if gauged by her Awakened power, an Awakened of her caliber is quite scarce in this kind of city. Even the man is just a fourth-rank realm Awakened, an average at best.

With that, the city guards nodded their heads and escort Evelyn to the mayor.

Before she follows the city guards, Evelyn didn't forget to look at the man and paid her thanks for the help. It'll be a hassle if she needs somekind of identification or proof that she has official business to do here.

Soon enough, Evelyn enters a house that is mainly made of wooden craft.

Unlike the skyscrapers and technology that Ratmawati City possessed, the house is completely traditional with only wooden cabinets, a set of wooden chairs and tables, carpets made of mutated animal leather, a fireplace, and sofas in front of the fireplace.

Evelyn sat down on the sofa while she waits for the mayor to attend to her.

Leaning back to the sofa as she waited for the mayor, her eyes scan the room before she sighs finding that everything is normal here, 'I hope the people here still remembered about Rex, if not then there's only Lountain City and Wedron City left...'

But as she sits on the sofa, she remembered something and reached into her pocket.

Taking out a piece of water with weird writings, she takes a closer look and finds a name at the left corner of the hand-size paper. Squinting her eyes, she then reads the name, "Mayor Burlin... I think I've seen this kind of item, isn't this a talisman?"

Just as she mutters that the front door opens exposing a middle-aged man.

"Ah... you must be the guest, Evelyn Luc. I'm sorry to make you wait, but what brings you he-", before the mayor can even finish his sentence, he stopped as his eyes landed on the paper that Evelyn is holding right now.

Putting on a frown, the mayor then asked, "How did you get that?"

"Oh, this? I'm Rex Silverstar's woman you see, and I just realized that this paper is a talisman. For someone to give away a talisman, now I'm certain that you feel indebted to Rex", Evelyn mutters with a smile, she gracefully crosses her legs while looking at the mayor.

Upon hearing this, the mayor closes the door behind him before he also replies with a smile.

Now that Evelyn was here stating that she was Rex's woman, the mayor has already guessed something that made him smile, "I'm not sure at first, but now I'm quite certain that the Werewolf that attacked Ratmawati City... that's Rex am I right?"

"Oh? You know already?", Evelyn replied, trying her best to hide her surprise.

Walking towards the sofa calmly and sitting there while taking off his cowboy hat, the mayor then made eye contact again with Evelyn, "Yes, I know and I kept it a secret ever since he saved this city. But now that you're here, you can help convince me that Rex is not in the right mind when he did that"

Although she's stunned by how straightforward this mayor is, she can't help but smile.

"Rex's parents were killed by a very influential Awakened, that's what made him go berserk. Since we're being straightforward, I know that you feel indebted to him and also want to ask if you and the people of this city are willing to help us", Evelyn said without hiding anything.

Her eyes sparkled before she continues, "We can offer to help the people here get stro-"

The mayor smile cheekily before he also leans back and cut Evelyn's sentence short, "I've told Rex before that he would need my help eventually, I know that sooner or later his identity will be exposed and I intend to give him sanctuary at that time before he moves on. He shrugs it off like it was nothing, but I'm being serious back then"

"Now that it has come to this, I'll show you how serious I am about my words..."
