Victory should have already been in sight, yet its light disappeared in an instant.
Due to his arrogance when he should be finishing Prof. K off and then destroying the advanced teleportation formation, he instead played with his food and gives time for the enemy reinforcement to come.
It was a big mistake for him, and now he was faced with a difficult situation.
Coming out of the Cluster Domain is Calidora in her battle mode alongside two gnarly cursed creatures, one is a big insect while the other adopts the appearance of the Grim Reaper, a hooded skeleton that emits extreme malice.
Additionally, more traitors came to help, matching the number the man brought with him.
The Burton Family as well as the Hester Family came and attacked the other Awakened, clearly stating their alignment belongs to Rex's side instead of humanity. It was blasphemous, and this angers the man to no end.
Liliya who was saved by Daniel Burton fell to her knees in exhaustion, she was relieved.
Seems like Dray has managed to deliver the message and has come to the rescue alongside his father and also the guild behind the family. But what she didn't expect was the Hester Family was here too.
'Why are they helping us...? Is it because of the delivery that Ugrok gave earlier?'
~
A moment ago, in the other part of Sector 3.
Dray quickly made his way alongside the two other Awakened that accompanied him to the Emham Forest earlier towards the Hester Family mansion after notifying his father about the situation, he has promised to deliver the package and intends to fulfill it.
One of the Awakened stole a look at the package and gasped in surprise.
"What is it, Ethan?" Dray asked, hearing him gasp.
The Awakened called Ethan looks at Dray before he shakes his head, "Nothing... It's just that I think I recognize that package, that head, I believe it belongs to one of the Five Conversions from the Shapeshifter race, the right-hand of King Oddity"
Upon hearing this, Dray and the other Awakened were also surprised.
Even though it's hard to recognize, this package, a head of a creature surely belongs to the Supernatural race. Dray doesn't know what this head has to do with the relationship between Rex and the Hester Family, but to think that Rex takes the time to instruct Prof. K to deliver this package, this matter must be important.
It didn't take long before the three of them arrived at the Hester Family mansion.
Similar to his family's own mansion, there are Awakened guarding the outside of the mansion. But Dray identified himself to the guards who instantly recognized him, "I want to meet with the head family, I want to meet with Lady Lauren, it's very urgent"
As Dray is not a nobody, the Awakened guards lead him to the entrance.
Just as the Awakened guards were about to open the door and search for Lady Lauren, the person herself opens the door from the inside and stepped out. She already knows that Dray is here.
Looking at Dray graciously, Lady Lauren then asked, "Why are you here my dear...?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Forgive my intrusion, Lady Lauren. I've come for an important delivery" Dray bowed slightly and said politely, he is groomed well by his father, and he knows that the opposing side is older and also has a higher standing than him.
It was after hearing this, Lady Lauren frowns in confusion, 'Delivery...?'
Shifting her eyes to the head of a creature that Dray is presenting to her, Lady Lauren gazes at it in confusion but then she noticed a stark resemblance, 'Is it a Shapeshifter's head? I can't really tell, it's already deteriorated'
"Rex is the one that wanted to give this to you" Dray suddenly added.
While still bowing his head slightly, he then continues as there's a message he needed to convey to Lady Lauren as he made this delivery, "He said that with this, the deal between him and you has been fulfilled. Rex also said that he apologized for the late fulfillment of his part, but he hoped you'll find peace and not continue the path of vengeance"
Uncertain of this, Lady Lauren then said, "Rex...? You mean"
"Yes, Rex Silverstar" Dray replied shortly.
After saying that, Dray paused for a moment before he looks up to see Lady Lauren again.
But to his surprise, he finds tears falling down Lady Lauren's face.
Lady Lauren's unnatural ivory-grey eyes have already turned watery as she humbly received the head of the Shapeshifter with trembling hands, she was holding the head as if it was the heaviest object she has ever held.
Knowing her background as a strong and unflinching woman, this sight was more surprising.
Someone of her caliber, that continued her deceased husband as the head family and keep the Hester Family at a high position in the 25 Golden Crest Families is definitely tough. But right now, she was overwhelmed with emotions.
Not wanting to disturb her sentimental moment, Dray bowed alongside the two Awakened.
"I will excuse myself now, Lady Lauren," he said.
Upon hearing this, Lady Lauren raised her teary gaze and nodded her head, "Thank you..."
After Dray and the two Awakened left, escorted by the Awakened guards, Lady Lauren went back inside and closes the door behind her. Instantly after that, she puts her back against the door and slides down to the floor weakly.
Just looking at the Shapeshifter's head once again, she ultimately burst into tears.
"He remembered... Rex remembered. He kept his words, he actually kept his words" Lady Lauren mused, sobbing in between as more tears drizzle down her beautiful mature face. She held the head close to her chest, looking up at the ceiling through a watery vision.
Remembering her late husband, she smiled lightly as she can feel him watching over her.
"I know it, you're still watching me even more up there" She mutters.
While Lady Lauren was allowing herself to feel the wild mix and relief and exhilaration, someone from the other room stepped into her view before stopping in their tracks at the sight of her in tears on the floor.
"M- Mother...?"
The similar features this man has clearly shown that he's Lady Lauren's son, William.
Compared to before when he was powerless due to not being an Awakened, he now has a sliver of elemental aura seeping out of him, showing that he surprisingly reaches the sixth-rank realm in such a short amount of time.
Feeling worried, William rushes over to his mother and kneels beside her.
Just before he could ask what happened, his eyes caught sight of the head Lady Lauren was holding onto dearly. It stunned him for a moment, and he quickly connected the situation and realized what had happened.
As the oldest son, he knows the truth, he knows what happened to his father.
It was because of that he also felt the same mixed feeling that his mother is feeling, and automatically, a couple of tears also poured out of his eyes. The situation is surreal, he thought that this day would never come.
Reaching out her petite hand towards her son's face, Lady Lauren smiled.
"Wake your little sister, we're not going to stay here..."

As the ninth-rank realm man's moon was fouled, Calidora scans the place around her.
Casting her sharp eyes left and right to assess the situation clearly, she then glanced at the two Children of Chaos descendingly with a disgusted expression, "What are the two of you doing standing around for? Go and kill everyone aside from those who wear grey and green outfits" she said harshly.
Upon hearing this, the two Children of Chaos didn't refute and started attacking.
In an instant, the insectoid-cursed creature burrowed into the ground and started snatching up the enemy Awakened one by one, slaying them instantly. Meanwhile, the skeletal cursed creature, Dealkandrax rushed to the crowd, its hollow eyes casting invisible shockwaves that sent the Awakened flying away.
After commanding the two cursed creatures, Calidora's eyes then landed on Prof. K.
Similar to earlier, Prof. K is still devotedly setting up the teleportation formation and had not moved an inch. Putting on an amused smile, she strides closer to him. Calidora then grasped his chin and lifted it so she could look at his face.
"Oh...? Rex would definitely like to hear about this"
Looking at Prof. K's face, she was surprised and also amused, he has a strong will.
Just like that, the combined effort between the two cursed creatures, the allied families, and the remaining elite elves managed to push the opposing forces back, slaughtering their numbers rapidly.
It was only left one person that needed to be taken care of, the ninth-rank realm man.
Sizing up Calidora that seems to be nonchalant, the man's eyes fixed on her ruby eyes that emit a weird hidden power, and this makes the man frowns as he hesitates to engage, "A Royal Vampire, seems like the Traitor Rex has allied himself with the Supernaturals now"
"Hmm...? Don't be mistaken, human. I and only I alone is owned by Rex" Calidora replied.
After saying that in a playful tone, she then showed the man the Silverstar Mark.
Upon seeing this the man frowns before out of nowhere, five Awakened from the back rushed at Calidora with their respective weapons in their hands. Most of them seem to be motivated by the sight of the Silverstar Mark.
"She's one of the Silverstar Pack members!"
"Capture her! We will be doing the Executor a favor if we managed to capture her!"
Listening to them wanting to capture her, Calidora blushes slightly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ah~ So many people wanted to have me when I'm clearly his, I'm flattered by your heroic attempts. But..." Calidora looks at the five Awakened with a nonchalant expression, she doesn't emit any aura whatsoever.
In response to this, the five Awakened enhanced their weapons with their elemental aura.
Brandishing their weapons in a cleaving manner with the full intention of hurting Calidora, the five Awakened were exhilarated, they would be raising up to the world if they could capture her and bring her back for interrogation.
It wouldn't be a stretch if they actually becomes a war hero.
Just as the weapons were about to reach Calidora's body, the black patterns inside her ruby eyes rotates rapidly, causing her eyes to glow. In an instant, the Eyes of Terror was activated, and the weapons' trajectory suddenly stopped.
Clank!
"Hmmm...?!"
Each of the Awakened frowned when their momentum suddenly stopped.
Feeling that something is wrong, the five Awakened try to push or pull their weapons away yet find out they couldn't move the weapons, they couldn't even move their own bodies. Losing the ability to move their own bodies, the five Awakened paled in fear.
Smiling sweetly, Calidora then added, "I can't have you lay your hands on me..."
Upon saying that, the five Awakened could feel an invisible force infiltrating their insides. It was a forceful force, the five were screaming in pain, and in the next second, their bodies exploded from within.
Splash!
The ninth-rank realm man saw this sight, blood splattered everywhere.
"Heart of Blood..."
Calidora then chanted a spell that stopped the blood from splattering, almost as if she had stopped time itself. In the next second, the blood of the five Awakened then moved and went inside her heart, amplifying her power.
Fixing her gaze back at the man, she then asked, "Do you want to have me too...?"
"If you think that showing the Silverstar Mark will scare me, then you're dead wrong. No matter how strong he is, we have the Executor, and you would not be able to escape him" the man replied mockingly.
But this makes Calidora giggles in amusement, "Of course, you could do that"
"The Executor is very strong, my family told me all about him. And yes, I would not be able to escape him if I get caught. But that's only the Executor, he has the strength to back it up, what about you...?" she added teasingly.
Upon hearing this, the man's expression darkens completely.
Since she was in a good mood, she finds joy in teasing these people, "I might not be able to escape the Executor, but you would also not be able to escape Rex Silverstar. After what happened, I believe you know that anyone he targeted is deemed for destruction..."
Listening to this, the man unconsciously gazed to the side, at Giana who was still fighting.
Just Giana's presence alone is a testament to Calidora's statement.
Even though he would probably be able to capture Calidora, that would also mean he lets himself be the target of Rex Silverstar. The man gritted his teeth, he knows what Calidora said is true.
"Now that you know that, let's fight!"
Calidora exclaimed maniacally and summoned her wings, dashing straight at the man.
