Chapter 599 The Unpredictable Fool
Guarding at the entrance that has lined up many poor people are people with a black crow tattoo.
From a glance there should be at least about thirty people lining up to get inside the house, their condition was not the best, wearing haggard clothes and many of them have shriveled hair that of homeless people.
But these people exclaimed when the ground rumbles from the spreading shockwave.
Many of them started to wonder what was happening in the center of Ratmawati City where this shockwave came from, they are very far from the center and near the tall wall of the city. Clear concerns started to appear on their faces as Ratmawati City always has been safe from Supernaturals.
This occurrence brought back bad memories of these people living outside Ratmawati City.
One of the guards wearing a black tank top exposing his muscly body looks at the lining people and said sternly, "Ignore the rumbles, anything that is happening will be resolved by the Awakened and the Black Hands. No need to worry"
Under the comforting words, the people nodded their heads and lined up patiently.
Soon enough there was another black hand came running through the pedestrian street with clear concern in her eyes, but she tries to keep calm in front of the people that are already curiously looking at her.
Approaching the muscular man, the woman then whispers, "Is King John inside?"
"Yes, he\'s underground having a meeting with Prof. K. Is there something wrong?", the muscular man asks back seeing that the woman is clearly troubled by something, but the woman didn\'t reply and instantly went to the back of the house.
Reaching the backyard that has nothing but dirt and mud, she kneels at a certain point.
The woman looks like she was kneeling in front of God, she then closes her eyes and mutters whisperingly, "May humanity rise, as the black crow\'s eyes cast. Until supernatural demise, our Stygian Crow Organization will last..."
Immediately after she chanted that, a glowing writing appears on the ground.
After the writing glows for a bit, a secret underground passage was opened. Without much thought, the woman went down the underground passage with steady steps until she reaches the bottom of the stairs.
Unlike the entrance, the bottom is lit up with lights with two other Black Hands guarding it.
"I want to meet with King John and Prof. K, I have a report regarding the Green Messenger", the woman said to the two black hands while showing the black crow tattoo she had on her arm.
Putting a pendant closer to the tattoo, the black crow tattoo on her arm glows in response.
Knowing that the black crow tattoo was real and the woman is not an intruder searching for information, the two black hands stepped to the side and opens the door for her. What greeted her beyond the door was a round table with two figures sitting there.
A middle-aged man wearing a black crown and black-furred cape looks over at the woman.
Not daring to meet this middle-aged man\'s eyes, the woman looks down to the ground as she walks in and went back to kneeling once again. Even with the choking silence filling the place, she didn\'t muster any word before getting permission.
"Why have you come here?", a figure covered in a black crow mask asks lightly.
Even though the woman didn\'t get a great look at the masked figure, she instantly recognize the figure as Prof. K just from seeing the green smoke flooding the ground. Lowering her head deeper, the woman then replied, "I\'ve come with dire news regarding the Green Messenger"
"Rex Silverstar...?", Prof. K mutters, his face was hidden but he definitely has a frown on his face.
Upon hearing the name being uttered by the woman, King John rests his cheek on his fist before he opens his mouth, "What about Rex Silverstar? I\'ve heard he did a great job in retrieving the last ingredient for the Supernatural Radar, he has done a great deal for us and humanity"
"Don\'t forget to prepare the serum for him before the Supernatural Radar is activated, Prof.K"
"I\'ve already prepared the serum for him and possibly the others under him, the Supernatural Radar wouldn\'t detect them for sure. In addition to that, I also take the initiatives to concoct a controlled poison for unpredictable future problems", Prof. K replied calmly, giving a nod to King John.
Finding that Prof. K is surprisingly thorough, King John smiled.
"Good, it\'s a good thing that we kept him alive. Now we\'re reaping the benefits"
Although she comes here with bad news, she can\'t help but finds what they were talking about confusing. But she didn\'t have the time to dilly dally knowing that she needs to report the current dire situation to both of them.
Under the pressure, the woman started to sweat profusely.
Raising the Green Messenger alone makes the situation a little bit bright, so the woman was fearful to bring the bad news to both of them. The woman muster her courage before she finally said, "My King, Prof. K... forgive me for being the bearer of bad news, but the Green Messenger turns out to be a Werewolf and has gone berserk, thousands of lives have been taken in the process"
Upon hearing this, the jovial mood immediately turns intense as their faces darken.
"How did it happen? You told me that he was stable despite being a Werewolf, Prof. K", King John glances at Prof. K sharply, he was questioning and also finding this to be dire if what she reported was true.
Prof. K was also surprised but he quickly recovered, "Not possible, he\'s very stable. I\'m sure of it!"
Even though the plan has been going on smoothly since they managed to become allied with the UWO and turn public, and also much help in the war against the Supernatural, King John wouldn\'t have agreed if Prof. K is not one hundred percent sure that he was stable.
It\'ll threaten the existence of Humanity and he doesn\'t want that, but now this happened.
But the matters King John and Prof. K were arguing about contradicted what the woman would expect them to find surprising, the matter that Rex was an actual Werewolf didn\'t cross their argument which leans more toward the fact that many lives have been lost.
"M-My apology for asking this, but are you aware of the Green Messenger\'s condition?"
Upon hearing this, King John shifted his eyes to the woman before he said indifferently, "Of course, we knew Rex\'s condition. We\'re not a fool, he\'s a special case but the fact that he went berserk concerns me. Do you have any explanation for this, Prof. K?"
Squinting his eyes, Prof. K started to sweat under the intense gaze
Although she was surprised by King John\'s answer, the woman hurriedly continues fearing that Prof. K would be blamed further, "O-One of our own saw what happened, and the Green Messenger\'s berserks started from an Awakened under Lady Giana called Zero who attacked the Silverstar Family\'s mansion and killed his parents. We don\'t know why he did that, but we believe that there was somekind of Vendetta between them"
"President Sebrof is currently stalling the Green Messenger, but the destruction keeps on continuing. There are no indication of him stopping"
Brak!
King John stood up abruptly, flipping the round table in the process and shattering it.
Due to the sudden fit of anger, the woman yelped when the table flew over her and crashes onto the wall. Even though King John doesn\'t particularly emit any sort of energy, the woman\'s body is shaking out of fear.
Nobody was unfearful to the first regular man that has the power of the peak of an Awakened.
The founder of the Stygian Crow Organization and also a regular man that has superhuman ability beyond comprehension, all of the black hands put immense respect for him after learning that the serum that can make them stronger was designed from King John\'s DNA.
King John was a man worthy to be king and the king is now angry, and that\'s terrifying.
"Useless Awakened scum! That damn fool messes up our plan when everything is going smoothly, I should\'ve foreseen something like this to happen! I should\'ve been more careful!", King John shouted with boiling anger inside of him.
Prof. K was also stunned but he quickly recovers, "Nobody can foresee what a fool would do..."
While pacing around the room trying to process the bad news given to him, King John searches for a solution but he has no choice but takes the matter into his own hands. If Sebrof was involved, then Rex should be at the very least ninth-rank realm level.
Looking at the woman, King John then asks, "What is the preliminary action we took?"
"The Black Messenger and the White Messenger have already gone to assist Sebrof as we speak, the other Black Hands were helping the citizen to evacuate into the safety bunker. Only sector 4 was safe from the destruction, and we also use this sector to accommodate the evacuating citizens", the woman instantly replied not wanting to insinuate more anger from King John.
Finding the preliminary action to be acceptable, King John waves his hand signaling for her to leave.
After the woman left King John instantly faces Prof. K, but before he can say anything Prof. K has already intervened, "Yes, I\'m going to activate the neutralizer inside his blood. But I don\'t know if it would work on him if he actually reaches the ninth-rank realm"
"We\'re playing with fire here, but it\'s going to be devastating to lose him now", King John mutters.
Just as he was about to say something more, the entire room that was lit up by the bright lamps suddenly becomes dim. It made their expression stiffens before the both of them hurriedly got out of the underground chamber.
Upon reaching outside, they look up to the sky and find that a field of blackness is expanding.
"Elemental Dominion?!", Prof. K exclaimed in surprise.
But King John looks at the field of blackness that seems to spark the night in the middle of the day, he frowns sensing that the energy was not coming from elemental mana, "No, I don\'t think it\'s an Elemental Dominion..."
Meanwhile, on the other side of Ratmawati City.
Three figures appeared after a blinding light enveloped the space.
It was an open space with a single teleportation formation carved on the ground, but the place that should be brimming with people was completely deserted, there was absolutely no one around that worked there or wants to teleport away.
After materializing on the teleportation formation, the two figures finally regain their bodies back.
Flunra, Gistella, and Adhara arrive back at Ratmawati City after using the teleportation formation back at the city, they wanted to be teleported to the UWO main office but finds that the teleportation formation there is offline or blocked.
Because of that, they decided to went to any teleportation formation that they can find.
On their way to get here, most of them feel a burning sensation in their chest that threatens to actually burn their entire bodies. It was the anger resonating inside their links to the Alpha and it was crippling them.
Even the thirst for killing has reached the absolute limit.
The three of them find it hard to suppress their bloodlust in the city where many people are around, but thankfully there was no one around here so they can focus on reaching Rex that clearly went nuts from something bad that happened to his mother.
With that in mind, they dash away heading in the mansion\'s direction.
Despite being far away from the source of energy, the three of them can already feel Rex\'s aura rampaging around and also the wind from the shockwaves brushes their faces. Without a doubt, Rex is currently in a fight.
Knowing that Rex has reached the ninth-rank realm, the one he\'s fighting should also be powerful.
"Are you sure the rune you engraved is going to calm him down?", Gistella asks from the side, she was worried that something is going to happen to Rex. Anger would just insinuate mistakes, and she didn\'t want that.
Flunra nodded his head, "I don\'t know how effective, but it should help him suppress the anger"
Contrary to both of them that are concerned for Rex\'s safety and wanted him to stop, Adhara was thinking otherwise, "If something really did happen to the mansion and our family, let Rex go berserk. At that point, they deserve what\'s coming to them"
Glancing at Adhara, Flunra can only sigh as he knew exactly what she was feeling.
Sprinting towards the mansion\'s direction, they saw the devastating destruction that Ratmawati City suffered from the fight Rex had with a certain someone. It was horrifying to think that their clashes reaches this far.
But as they marvel at the destruction, their eyes caught sight of a red lighting field.
Their surprise doesn\'t stop there as the expanding red lightning field crashes onto an expanding field of blackness, locked in a power struggle against each other. Both bring massive energies that the three of them were forced to stop.
Adahra and Gistella were feeling it the most, their bodies feels heavily suppressed.
"What are those two fields?!", Adhara shouted in confusion.
Upon hearing this Flunra looks up at the clashing fields before he mutters, "An Elemental Dominion, and as for the black one... It\'s the Dome of the Dark Full Moon. Power exclusive only to the Banished Lunirich"
