The next day,
Rex is sitting in the throne room with his face buried in his hand remembering the incident last night, he thought that with their current sensitive sense this kind of problem wouldn't arise.
But he was wrong, this kind of thing is inevitable.
Although nothing has happened to his parents living together with the others, he can't deny the fact that most of the people inside the mansion are Supernaturals with most of them being Werewolves belonging to his pack. Only Edward is the only human left aside from his parents.
Last night when he checks on his mother, she was definitely not okay.
Rex comes inside their room with the excuse of telling them that he was about to be away for a couple of days in the near future, but throughout the conversation, he can see that Mrs. Greene spaced out a couple of times.
It's mostly Robert that is engaged in the conversation asking him about the matter.
Despite trying to sound fine and even putting on a strong smile, Rex knew that Mrs. Greene is not okay and she was going to be having the same nightmare of that night again. This made him angrier the more he thought about it.
Mostly it's his fault for being too relaxed around his parents, but this is the safest place.
Placing his parents in another mansion will make him exposed to the other 25 Golden Crest Families with some of them still hostile, buying a mansion in sector 2 is out of the equation as it wouldn't be possible.
Even the top three families of the 25 Golden Crest only have one mansion here.
If the rules of sector 2 are not tight then most of them should own a couple of properties here, but in reality, they don't. So there must be something that prevent them from doing that, and making a deal with Sebrof just for another mansion is not a good idea.
Sebrof is the only one that has the authority to grant him another mansion, and he will definitely twist the agreement to favor him so much that buying the mansion is not worth it.
While thinking about that, Rex massages his forehead with a sigh.
Throughout the night, he already kept himself busy raising his Lunar Light element side into the peak of fifth rank. He just finished meditating and now he can assimilate with a spirit before he finally stepped into the sixth rank realm and achieved his Exalted bloodline.
But immediately after he stopped meditating, the worry he felt for his mother drowned in him.
Rex shakes his head before he opened the Sudden Quest he got from making a deal with the Hester Family, to take his anxious mind off of Mrs. Greene that should still be sleeping. Perhaps currently having a nightmare of that night.
<Sudden Quest>
In exchange for fulfilling the war contribution quota of the Silverstar Family, the user made a deal with Lady Lauren from the Hester Family asking to kill a Shapeshifter that poisoned her husband. This Shapeshifter is a powerful Supernatural belonging to the Five Conversion. Bring the designated Shapeshifter to Lady Lauren to complete this quest.
Quest Reward: 15 Skill Upgrade, 30,000,000,000 Exp, Substance of Dynamic Armaments
From the quest reward of the sudden quest, Rex knows that this quest should be pretty hard. Lady Lauren said that this Five Conversion of the Shapeshifter is close with its King, so it doesn't surprise Rex that it's going to be hard.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDespite the difficulty of any quest, solid planning is all he needed to tackle the mission.
Rex doesn't know anything about Shapeshifter aside from the surface-level knowledge of Shapeshifter that has invulnerable skin that is a bane for Earth-related Elementalist. It can shapeshift into anything even the scent and DNA.
It's basically a perfect sabotage machine of the Supernatural, nigh perfect race of assassins.
'System, I would like to buy information about the Shapeshifter Race'
<Information about the Shapeshifter Race costs 8,000 Gold, does the user wants to continue?'
'Yes...'
Just after buying the information from the system, concise and abundant information got uploaded into his brain as he closes his eyes and let his mind absorb all of the information. His brain feels like a computer that is being uploaded with a file of everything about Shapeshifter.
Two minutes later, the process ended as Rex opens his eyes.
Unlike the legend that classified Werewolves as a part of Shapeshifter, the Shapeshifter in reality is in fact a race of its own. But just like Werewolf Race, they had a similar hierarchy with the presence of an Alpha.
The Alpha of a Werewolf can be differentiated by its aura while the Alpha of a Shapeshifter can be differentiated by its ashy-colored skin compared to the normal white and featureless face.
Lower-rank Shapeshifter has features on their faces but not an Alpha.
Aside from the color of its skin and the feature of its face that differentiates an Alpha from a regular Shapeshifter, the Alpha can shapeshift into a target with nothing but a glance and the shape-shifting process is way faster than regular.
Based on the system, the lowest of the low Shapeshifter needs to shed their skin to shapeshift. Not only that, but they also need to touch the target they want to shapeshift into or gather information about the target for quite some time.
While the highest of the high Alpha Shapeshifter doesn't do all of that.
Only nothing but a simple glance is enough for an Alpha Shapeshifter to shapeshift into their target, and some of the powerful Alpha Shapeshifters can even mimic the target's power perfectly.
'Their weakness is silver and lightning, it's to my advantage but...'
'I don't think relying on my lightning element alone will be a good measure'
Remembering that his target is an elite force of the Shapeshifter Race that is very close to the King, Rex can bet that they wore something that will protect them from lightning. Compensating for their weakness is basic, and they certainly know that.
Just as he was about to think of a plan to confront the Five Conversion, Rex senses something.
Looking out of the window that is only having the sign of the early sun that was about to come out, Rex stands up from his throne before heading outside. The sound of the Awakened Guards outside talking can be heard, 'She moved quickly, I don't blame her though...'
After opening the front door, Rex saw dozens of trucks lined up in front of his house.
The trucks look like military trucks but the aura oozing out of the trucks shows that the people inside are all Awakened, and that shows the trucks don't belong to the military despite their deceiving appearance.
One of the Awakened guards approached him from the side.
"Sir, Rex... they identify themselves as Awakened that wanted to join the Silverstar Family"
"Let them in and did the goods arrive yet?"
"They have arrived last night, we placed them inside the training ground"
"Okay, tell them to change into their outfits and be ready to head out. We're going straight to the UWO main office"
Rex commanded the Awakened guards while looking at the Awakened coming down from the trucks that are numbering in the hundreds, they all vary in strength as some of them have a fifth rank, sixth rank, and even seventh rank power.
It's the Awakened sent by Lady Lauren as per the deal of their agreement.
With the High Mind Affinity stone given to her, Rex asks her to send the Awakened per the agreement quickly to his mansion so that he can fill the quota of the Silverstar Family.
For secrecy's sake, these Awakened are picked up from cities outside of Ratmawati City.
Pring eyes of the 25 Golden Crest Families and even the UWO are basically everywhere, they need to make this kind of effort as a formality to not be too obvious with the Awakened Rex gathered out of nowhere.
Sebrof will definitely be suspicious of the Awakened he amassed, but it's not a problem.
As long as the quote for the Awakened is fulfilled, he can talk his way out of Sebrof even though he probably knew that he asked for help from other families. Declining his contribution just because of the Awakened background will just taint the UWO's name badly.
They are in a war, every help will be appreciated and Sebrof will not be able to refuse this batch.
Just about an hour later,
Rex got out of the mansion once again when an Awakened guard notify them that the Awakened are ready, he steps out of the mansion and was instantly greeted by the scene of neatly lined up Awakened wearing silver outfits.
Each one of them wore a dark grey attire with a Silverstar crest on their right shoulder.
It was the official outfit for the Silverstar Family's Awakened, they are designed by the Reed and Platchi Family as Rex doesn't have the time to arrange this personally. The attire is a dark grey trench coat for most of the with the inner black vest and dark grey pants.
Dark grey gloves are equipped alongside the official attire, it gives a simplistic yet domineering vibe that no one will look down upon. The grey trench coat has a protection rune engraved that can create a thin-layered barrier, and the Silverstar crest is made of a stone called Ashy Tybyite.
Ashy Tybyite can glow in the night and contain extracted silver energy.
Rex nodded his head seeing that the outfit turns out better than he expected, and with that, he steps forward before he looks at the newly appointed Silverstar Awakened in the eyes one by one. His air is that of a leader sternly scanning at the hundreds of Awakened.
One of the Awakened wears a lighter-colored grey trench coat, and she's the strongest of them all.
"As for now, you are all baptized as the Silverstar Family's Awakened. I welcome you to the rank of our family and even though our union is planned, I hope that Lady Lauren doesn't force any of you to come here at all"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSignaling to one of the Awakened guards on the side, Rex then looks back and continues.
"Although your presence here is planned, I'm not going to let you guys die in the furnace of war against the Supernatural easily. On your right shoulder, you can see a Silverstar crest, the crest of our family..."
Many of the Awakened glance at their right shoulders and finds what Rex is talking about, it's made of Ashy Tybyite and looks just like an ornament of the outfit. But that's not the case.
"You there, what's your name?", Rex pointed at the strongest Awakened of the batch.
Hearing this, the woman standing in front of the neatly lined Awakened on her back with glowing grey eyes was surprised when Rex pointed at her, "My name is Ellen, sir!"
"Touch the Silverstar crest, Ellen"
After hearing the instruction, Ellen looks at the Silverstar crest on her right shoulder before confusedly touching it gently. But immediately after she touched it, the entire outfit glows with a grey hue brightly.
Ellen was caught off guard as she closed her eyes,
When she opened her eyes feeling the bright grey light has already dimmed, she was greeted by her entire outfit glowing with a grey hue that turns into grey sparkles as it falls to the ground.
"The Silverstar crest is not just an ornament, but upon touching it the entire outfit will go into battle mode. In this mode, you will be invulnerable to fifth rank and lower spells and also emit an extracted silver energy burning any Supernatural that touches you"
Upon hearing this, the newly appointed Awakened can't help but widen their eyes.
Even the Awakened guards can't help but marvel at the outfit, they are even jealous that the newly appointed Awakened got the very helpful outfit while they don't. But then again, they are guarding the mansion so they don't need an anti-Supernatural outfit.
All of them gave Rex the look of marvel and awe,
Looking at their surprised look, Rex nodded his head in confirmation, 'That costs me 1,000,000 gold'
'I would be devastated if they're not at all surprised and awed by the outfit...', Rex thought wryly as he just burn a huge chunk of his gold to buy these outfits for hundreds of Awakened, it's for the sake of strengthening them in the war.
But the newly appointed Awakened's attention was attracted to the Awakened guards bringing a crate full of weapons, they all Silver-oriented weapons for them to use against the Supernatural.
Very durable, and effective in a prolonged fight against the Supernatural.
While the weapons are being distributed to the newly appointed Awakened sent by Lady Lauren, Rex then continues his speech of welcoming these Awakened that will soon join the war.
"The war against the Supernatural is brutal, and make no mistake that some of you will die"
"My only request is that you take at least ten of them down before falling yourself, the barrier is set high because you will bear my name during your time in the war. I don't want you all to give a pitiful show, not to the damned Supernaturals."
"Manifest the sheer might and terror that an Awakened can bring, force them to feel fear they have never experienced before, and more importantly show give no mercy to any Supernaturals in your path. Despite our planned union, you are without a doubt a member of the Silverstar Family.
"You have my full faith, and know that I too will join you soon"
"As your leader, I've given you equipment that will help you win. I've been in the military, I've been to war, I've seen my comrades die, and I sure know that every little advantage will help immensely. Those equipment is the way of me saying that"
"For each one of you has something to fight for, and if you're going down at least make it worth it"
"Welcome to the family..."
After giving his pep talk, Rex turns around before heading back inside to prepare for his departure while the newly appointed Awakened felt their bodies burn as they all roared brimming with passion upon hearing the speech.
