Chapter 398 Returning Back
Seeing this, Kyran immediately ran after them.
"Kyran?", Duncan mutters in confusion when he sensed someone is approaching him from the back, he saw Kyran stopping behind him before Kyran signals them to move to the side.
Duncan didn\'t question him as he and his wife moved to the side,
Although Adhara already apologized for the event that happened before, Duncan\'s wife is still a bit scared of Kyran since she even holds Duncan\'s arms tightly.
But no one can blame her though since Kyran is quite terrifying,
Kyran then said after they moved to the side, "You said that I can ask any favor from you right? Because Rex said this woman\'s life here is in my hands?"
"That is true, what can I help you with?", Duncan asks questioningly.
But he was confused when Kyran leans over to him to whisper to his ears, the words that came out of Kyran\'s mouth makes him frown as he looks down in thought.
While Duncan is thinking, Kyran is looking at him expectantly from the side.
After thinking with a frown, Duncan then finally nodded his head before Kyran taps his shoulder as the both of them separated from each other.
Kyran is looking at Duncan and his wife\'s back leaving,
He then also turns to his back but stopped on his track when he saw Edward walking toward the room, Edward seems to just finish tending to his uncle and Zelene.
Now he\'s walking towards Rex\'s room again,
Edward is walking towards the room with his hands in his pockets, he seems to not realize Kyran is on the side which makes Kyran turns into a shadow and disappear from the place.
When Edward was about to enter the room,
He suddenly stopped as he glances to the side, there was a sharp gaze from his eyes as he looks to the side, \'Why are Duncan and his wife here?\'
\'More importantly, What is Kyran talking about with Duncan?\'
A moment later,
SWOOSH!
Rex blinks his eyes a couple of times as his surroundings turn from blur to clear, he\'s back to the UWO\'s office after using the teleport formation in the city he was in before.
The descendants are at his back with Gerrard on his side,
Upon materializing back at the UWO\'s office, Rex saw that Sebrof, Vargas, and other high-ranking members of the UWO is standing in front of them.
Aside from that, the parents of the descendants are also present.
The head of the 25 Golden Crest Families snapped their necks left and right trying to find their sons or daughters, almost all of them sigh with the exception of a couple.
Rex manages to keep them all alive,
But some of them are injured from the battle before, the injuries are mainly huge cut wounds or infiltration of death energy but none of them are incapable of standing on their own.
It\'s all thanks to the Tetuka Ring that he bought from the system,
Amongst the head of the 25 Golden Crest Families, Rex doesn\'t find Welsey anywhere.
"Welcome back! and Congratulations!", the same man that bids them goodbye upon their departure suddenly said from the side, there\'s a huge smile on his face.
Since they manage to clear the Undead companies alongside the Werewolves\' reinforcement,
The smile on the man\'s face was expected since they did more than the mission told them to do, but it\'s mainly thanks to Rex who found the secret passage the Supernatural is using.
He was then able to notify the Awakened and black hands in Eqosa City,
Rex looks around while the man welcomes their arrival back.
His eyes then stopped when he saw Sebrof is looking at him, there was a not-so-happy look on his face, \'Is he expecting me to fail? What is he planning to make me do anyway\', Rex thought.
It\'s clear from Sebrof\'s expression that he didn\'t expect the descendants to come back full.
But his expression turns stoic again almost instantly.
Although Sebrof\'s aura is very dominant as he gazes at Rex,
Rex didn\'t avert his gaze as he stood calmly on his spot while keeping eye contact, he didn\'t do anything wrong but he was quite worried that Sebrof might say something.
It didn\'t take long before the welcoming back-ended,
The descendants are permitted to go back home to tend to their injuries and rest, and Rex was also about to leave back to the university but his eyes suddenly got attracted to something.
On his right, the descendants that are a part of his team gathered.
Rex glanced at them weirdly before suddenly, "Thank you! For everything you did to protect us!"
All of the descendants that are a part of his team bowed their bodies as they thanked Rex, except for Fordie of course who is shivering as he walks back with his parents.
Rex and the others treat him harshly, so it\'s not a surprise that Fordie wants to hurry back home.
He was tied and restrained inside a house until the mission ended,
Tyrice was the one who came back with Fordie after Rex told him to bring the survivors to Eqosa City, and only at Eqosa City does Fordie can finally breathe and not get restrained.
It caught Rex off guard since he\'s not expecting something like this.
Even the parents are shocked when they saw their own children thanking Rex, some of the parents are greatly shocked that their child behaved like this.
This kind of thing is not a common occurrence,
Rex looks at them in confusion, \'Did they know about the other two Undead companies that I dealt with alone?\', he thought but his eyes then landed on Dray and Evelyn.
Both are looking at him with a meaningful look,
\'So it\'s the both of them?\', Rex thought as he quirks up a smile, just from their look alone Rex already know that they were the ones that told the others about what he did.
If not for Rex, many of the descendants in his team would\'ve died.
The descendants in his team need to also fight Yolgos who is an Enchanter after fighting Intuma\'s company, if he didn\'t take the initiative himself, the descendants would have no chance.
Aside from being outnumbered, they are also injured.
Even Gerrard\'s team was not in a worse condition thanks to Rex taking out Durrant\'s company too, it\'s clear that he\'s the one that\'s doing the most during the mission.
But he did it not just for the descendants though,
While shaking his head, Rex then replied, "No need to thank me, I\'m your leader after all"
"Go tend to your wounds now, and get strong so you can handle the Supernaturals by yourself in the future", Rex added before the other descendants nodded their heads.
After Rex said that, the descendant left alongside their parents.
Rex has already proven himself numerous times that he\'s way stronger than the descendants, so anything that he said can\'t be argued back since they all survived thanks to Rex.
With that, the descendants dispersed as they went back to their homes.
As the descendants leave one by one, Rex\'s eyes land on a guy that is also heading towards the exit with his parents that belongs to Gerrard\'s team.
It\'s the guy who Rex and Evelyn failed to cleanse the pure death energy before,
Looking at the guy\'s back, Rex sighed as he really can\'t help him without possessing an ultimate element, \'I can\'t help you, so I hope you understand\', he thought.
But when he\'s thinking that,
<Sudden Quest Completed!>
<Obtained 500,000,000 Exp, Warden of the Sky Core, 15 Skill Upgrade, and Insight Rune>
The sudden quest that he got from getting picked to be the leader of the descendants was completed, it gives him a bountiful reward but Rex can\'t help but think that something is weird.
For a mission that hard, the reward is not as much as expected.
But before Rex can even check whether the items he got are any good,
"To think that you manage to finish the mission smoothly, and even gain the descendants\' respect in the process. You sure surprised me every time", a voice seeped into Rex\'s ears.
Hearing this voice, Rex smiles lightly, "I\'m not doing this for them"
A man walks behind Rex\'s back as he stopped right beside Rex, the man is none other than Vargas whom the voice belongs to.
But then Vargas\' eyes landed on Gistella who is on Rex\'s other side,
"Who\'s this? You didn\'t bring anyone with you before", Vargas asks while pointing at Gistella with his eyes, he was curious since Gistella\'s face is hidden under her robe\'s hood.
She\'s facing down to the ground so it\'s hard to see her face,
Rex glance at Gistella before he stretches his hand to lift Gistella\'s chin, and just from this alone Vargas shakes his head as he averts his gaze from Gistella.
The delicate and beautiful face of Gistella manages to surprise Vargas for a bit,
Even the descendants before can\'t help but steal glances at her face, she\'s that beautiful to the point that it\'s distracting for them, especially with her silvery-white hair that sticks out so much.
After lifting Gistella\'s face, Rex then retracts back his hand.
"I just protect the descendants with my life and even helped Eqosa City, this is not too much to bring back right? Besides, I didn\'t force her to come with me", Rex said nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Vargas chuckles lightly, "Young people... I heard you\'re soft on women"
"Especially since you even brought that girl to your room even though Adhara is still there, so I\'m not surprised you bring another one for your collection", he added.
When the descendants are gathered in the city before teleporting here,
Rex already thought of something to justify him bringing back Gistella, and since he has a bit of a reputation with women he decided to do just that to mask his reason for bringing Gistella.
With a face like Gistella\'s, there\'s hardly any man that can resist her.
\'Worst comes to worst, I\'ll just get called a playboy but that\'s fine\', Rex thought nonchalantly.
But then, Rex clenched his jaw when Vargas suddenly said, "What\'s that girl\'s name again? Ah yes, Rosie isn\'t it? Where is she by the way?"
"Usually she\'s with you alongside Adhara and Edward", he added.
Rex\'s expression stiffen for a second before he calm himself down and replied, "You\'re caught up with office things, it\'s obvious that you didn\'t pay attention"
Hearing this, Vargas chuckles lightly.
After saying that, Rex wanted to excuse himself but Vargas stopped him, "You better postponed whatever your agenda after this because Sebrof is asking for you"
"Sebrof?", Rex asks with a frown.
Right after Vargas said that Rex glanced back at where Sebrof is and finds he was looking at him.
Sebrof is standing with his secretary on the side while looking at Rex, after looking at Rex for a moment he then walks inside the UWO building indicating that he will be waiting at his office.
With a sigh, Rex then excuses himself to Vargas before he went to Evelyn.
Evelyn thankfully is still here as she seems to be waiting for him, Rex brought Gistella and also Delta to Evelyn before he said, "Can you keep an eye on these two for a moment?"
"Where are you going?", Evelyn asks in confusion.
But Rex only points at the UWO office before Evelyn instantly realized what he means, "Alright, I\'ll watch these two for you"
Rex nods his head before he head inside the UWO building,
After entering the UWO building, the secretary that is standing beside Sebrof approach Rex and guides him through the building heading to Sebrof\'s office room.
It didn\'t take long for Rex to arrive in front of a huge door,
The door almost touches the ceiling and it is very wide, there\'s a sign on the door with Sebrof\'s name on it which shows that this is his room.
With a slight bow, the secretary opened the door for Rex.
Rex walks inside the room before he found Sebrof is already sitting at his desk, he is smoking a cigar while looking at Rex with an unreadable expression.
The room adopts a minimalist look with only a few things inside,
One of the most noticeable things inside Sebrof\'s room is that somekind of weapon is hung on the wall beside Rex that is completely made out of mana, but it\'s not regular mana since Rex can feel that it\'s different.
Rex also notice an item emitting mana displayed on Sebrof\'s desk beside some photo frames,
Aside from that, there\'s also a red robe in the corner of the room that is emitting intense energy that Rex found somewhat familiar as if he has sensed similar energy before.
Noticing that Rex is looking at the robe, Sebrof then said, "Congratulation..."
"You manage to suffer no casualties even from the difficulty of the mission that is quite high, even I don\'t believe it at first if not for seeing it for myself", he added.
Rex can only smile in response before he asks, "Why did you call me here Sir?"
Hearing this, Sebrof\'s eyes darted to the side,
"Do you know what that is?", Sebrof asks while pointing at the red robe displayed in the corner of the room, he was asking Rex with an expectant look.
But upon seeing the red robe, Rex shakes his head.
Although he shakes his head, Rex already scans with the system and already knows what the red robe is especially since he can feel the energy coming from it.
Rex even already predicts where this conversation is heading,
Sebrof puts down his arm before he continues, "It\'s the trophy I got from almost twelve years ago when humanity is still not as stable as the current humanity. I sweat blood to gain that red robe, even until now I still take pride in it"
While Sebrof is saying this, Rex is silent while listening to Sebrof.
"I don\'t understand why you\'re telling me this sir", Rex said lightly, he needs to act oblivious even though he already knows what Sebrof is going to say.
Hearing this, Sebrof glanced at Rex slowly before he said, "That is an Enchanter Robe"
"Enchanter belonging to the Undead race, the Enchanter that evolves my element into an ultimate element. An Enchanter that is very hard to kill, and also the similar kind of Enchanter that you manage to kill...", he added as his voice becomes deeper and deeper.
Rex is starting to frown upon hearing this, especially when Sebrof is walking toward him.
Sebrof then stopped right in front of Rex before he asks calmly but threateningly, "You\'re going to explain to me, How on earth you manage to kill an Enchanter..."
