Chapter 844 Clueless
"If the cities that I visited all came for today, then there should be Lountain City, Wedron City, and Beah City. Approximately 10,000 people at the very least that need to be teleported, we\'re only halfway through"
Adhara, Evelyn, and Queen Shanaela are currently inside the Cluster Domain.
Despite the Awakened that was sent to represent the cities as well as Gelmar and the others that helped this process to go unhindered by allocating these people to a designated place, the three needed to contribute as organizing the people is not the only thing that needs to be addressed.
Most of the people that got teleported were terrified.
On top of the fact that they are stepping into a different and unknown city, the hectic situation that they went through is traumatizing for these regular people that are not built as a soldier.
Realizing that the three decided to lead these people to the portal in the Cluster Domain.
Each of their presence is very much needed. Queen Shanaela and Evelyn in particular.
Putting on a sweet smile that she always wears for her people, the aura of a Queen oozes out of Queen Shanaela\'s body. It was soft and assuring, providing comfort for the people traversing into an unknown land.
On top of that, additional help came from Evelyn\'s presence.
Since Evelyn was the one that visited their cities to discuss their evacuation to Dargena City, the people recognized her and gave her a light nod or a smile. It was infinitely more assuring to see a familiar face in this kind of situation.
"Are we not going to help them?" Queen Shanalea suddenly asked.
Both Adhara and Evelyn looks at each other briefly when they heard her question. Evelyn then answered first, "We should wait a little bit more, our assistance is going to be necessary. In a few minutes, we\'ll help"
"Evelyn... Rex doesn\'t want us going there" Adhara replied, a frown on her face.
Clearly, the two have different opinions about the matter. Evelyn is the one who told Queen Shanaela to send help for Prof. K and Giana for the sake of the people\'s safety, and she was also adamant that they would need help.
If they don\'t, Prof. K and Giana would ultimately fail, and innocent people will get hurt.
Adhara, on the other hand, believed the complete opposite.
She still hated Giana for what she did, it was an unforgivable act and she doesn\'t mind following Rex\'s command. It\'s not like the citizens of the cities would be massacred by the opposing Awakened anyway, they couldn\'t afford to do that.
In such uncertain times, tyranny would only lead the people to revolt.
People would stand up for themselves if the opposing Awakened dares to do that, and it would only make Rex\'s side more appealing, causing more people to seek evacuation. Between the Executor and the Supernatural Elders, humanity have already enough problems already, they don\'t need more.
It\'s impossible for them to not be aware of those consequences, so Adhara is not worried.
"Stop blatantly following him, there are times he could be wrong" Evelyn replied sharply, she then averted her gaze elsewhere and mused silently inside her mind, \'Just like when he decided to look at Calidora that way...\'
Upon hearing this Adhara could only sigh and decided not to pursue the matter.
Following that, the three suddenly snapped their necks to the portal when they saw the people that were about to enter the portal exclaiming in horror. It was then, the three saw a figure coming out of the portal.
A tall pale-skin woman, oozing with blood energy, and gleaming red eyes. Calidora.
"L- Lady Evelyn, I\'m sorry... I tried stopping her until you called, but I couldn\'t do anything to her" Dindora also came from the portal, bowing in apology as she couldn\'t stop Calidora from entering the Cluster Domain.
Evelyn clicked her tongue and waved her hand, "It\'s not your fault, you can go back"
Noticing that Calidora is about to make a problem again, Queen Shanaela quickly walks over to her, "Calidora, you\'ve caused great trouble already. It\'s best that you behave now or Aunty will get mad at you"
"Aunty doesn\'t need to worry, I\'m here to do their jobs for them" Calidora pointed at the two.
Just listening to her arrogance makes the veins on Adhara and Evelyn\'s faces bulge in anger, the two couldn\'t stand this Vampire. "What does that supposed to mean? Did you really think you could mock us and get away with it?!"
"An outsider should remain, an outsider. Know your place, Vampire" Evelyn added.
Upon hearing this Caliodra giggled sweetly before that giggle turns into laughter, she was looking at Adhara and Evelyn as if the two of them were the dumbest person she knows. "It seems that the Female Alpha and the Luna still don\'t get it, even though you spend so much time with him already, the two of you still don\'t get it. A shame... I thought at the very least, I could learn something from the two of you about him"
"But seems like I was mistaken to think that" she added, a punch to their hearts.
Calidora then walks over and heads to the other portal, leading to the Emham Forest. Yet Adhara grabbed her wrist, stopping her in her tracks, "What do you mean by that, Calidora?" she asked with a frown.
Seeing Adahra\'s frown, Calidora smirked at how clueless she was.
"Hah... I\'m quite jealous already. Let me go, Female Alpha. I\'m sent here by Rex himself since you two have already given assistance, I\'m here to deal with when that defensive mechanism was triggered" She replied, twisting her hand to make Adhara let go.
Just as she said that she takes a couple of steps forward before stopping.
It was then the area around her scarlet eyes darkens, her eyes turns smoky before the veins near her chin started to turn ruby red and then black, climbing nearer to her eyes. Cursed and Blood energies were mixed together.
Under the three gazes, blood jutted from the ground and climbs upwards from the legs.
Calidora\'s entire body then got swallowed by the blood and her energy climbs even higher. It takes only a moment before the blood splashes around her, revealing a change to her appearance.
Now, Calidora is wearing a black elegant dress armor that exposes some of her flawless skin.
Prominently displayed on her left breast was a royal badge of the Vampire Kingdom. Some of her body still carried hints of the blood that had embraced and swallowed her earlier, almost like a shadowy fire around her right arm and left leg. Her elegant yet deadly appearance was then completed with a red forehead diadem.
Looking at her transformation into her battle-ready state, the others were not impressed.
Glancing over her shoulder sweetly, Calidora\'s hand reaches for her shoulder.
Her fingers playfully played around her shoulder, seemingly doing something. Alebit Adhara and Evelyn were reluctant to even gaze at her, both of them have their eyes bulged completely and their violent energies instantly exploded.
It was due to a mark that Calidora\'s fingers were playing around.
A white-colored mark in the shape of a star. Adhara and Evelyn would never mistake this mark even if they were in their dying breaths, it was the same mark they had on themselves, and this could only mean one thing.
"CALIDORA!!" Evelyn roared in anger with immense bloodlust.
Adhara was also the same, she doesn\'t want to believe what he was seeing is real.
Just as the two were stressing about the Silverstar Mark in between Calidora\'s neck and shoulder, she suddenly chuckled and said teasingly, "Relax... this is only a normal mark to scare those people outside. Don\'t get too worked up, this is just foreplay. Averting her gaze to the front again, she then added, "I wouldn\'t let Rex turn me, at least not in this state, not yet..."
Upon hearing this, Adhara and Evelyn were immensely relieved.
It was for a moment there that the two thought that Rex has already turned Calidora.
Evelyn was livid, her anger almost reached a boiling point if that mark was actually the real Silverstar Mark. She couldn\'t stay still and swore she\'d make Calidora pay right then and there if she was actually branded by Rex.
"Now we know what would happen..." Calidora mutters before she walks away.

Meanwhile, back to Emham Forest.
Hastios was having a stare-off with the family head, the tension keeps on climbing higher.
It was clear that Hastios have full confidence in himself on reaching the family head before he could manage to pull off his Gladiator Form, and the family head could feel that he would die if he accepted this challenge.
But it was then, the family head looks down with a smile on his face.
Seeing the smile, Hastios frowned as he doesn\'t know what is the family head smiling for.
Just then the family head started laughing subtly in ridicule, he then raises his face again to look at Hastios with a crazed expression, "Did you really think you could barge in here, kidnap a bunch of people, and expect we do nothing in retaliation?"
"Hmmm...?" Hastios tilted his head a little in confusion.
Although he was confused, Prof. K\'s body stiffens as he forget an important thing.
Prof. K has been trying to be meticulous in commencing the operation to not get caught with anything, yet he fails to consider one thing when he asked Rex for help earlier, he stumbled under pressure and forgot about that.
While he was still teleporting the people, he gritted his teeth and curses himself.
\'How could I did such a blunder...? I forgot about my own invention!\'
[Sign of abnormalities has been detected, you are a High-Elf!]
[Power: Sixth-rank realm]
[Inclination: Hostile]
[Threat Level: Blue]
[Warning! A coordinated attack by the Supernaturals has been detected!]
[Location: Sector 3B, the Emham Forest]
[Please be at ease and stay inside your homes. All personnel from the SCO and UWO are going to suppress the attack shortly, another notice will come when the attack has been suppressed]
Upon detecting numerous Supernaturals inside Emham Forest, Intra was alerted.
It takes only a couple of minutes before the alert came which was very quick, Intra-technology has encompassed the entire human territory, and its effectiveness is one of the greatest breakthroughs for humanity.
Yet, at this moment, the creator was in trouble because of it.
"Maybe a lower-rank Supernatural like you was not aware yet, so let me educate you" the family head smirks, taunting Hastios smugly. "Any Supernatural that stepped inside our territory will be notified by Intra-technology, and any attacks will be intercepted shortly. Just like this..."
Hastios was dumbfounded, he was not aware of this defensive mechanism.
Glancing around the place, he finds that his people were still winning the fight but he could already sense more and more Awakened coming closer like a swarm of ants. It wouldn\'t take long before the place is surrounded.
Standing on their grounds will be harder, and they wouldn\'t last.
"Now, we\'ll see how you deal with us now. Remember, this is our territory!"
Just as the family head said that Hastios saw inscribed runes appear on the ground behind the family head, he frowned as he realized that it was some kind of spell before out of nowhere the ground exploded.
Kaboom!!
Immediately after the swirling fire exploded on the ground, a figure appeared at the center.
·ƈθm Upon sensing the sharp flaming energy coming from the figure, Hastios frowned as he could feel that this figure is way stronger than he is. Clearly, before the suppression, this figure is in the ninth-rank realm.
A fire dragon then appeared, sweeping around and burning the elite Elves to ash.
Prof. K who watches this paled, the figure that came is a ninth-rank realm Awakened, and he knows that this operation is destined to fail, \'W- We lost, I should\'ve anticipated this. Now, there\'s no chance for us to win against this ninth-rank realm. But Rex definitely remembered, he must have a plan to deal with this\'
Despite he was pessimistic, his mind suddenly jolted awake, \'No...\'
\'No matter what, I need to do something. It\'s my responsibility to help, no matter how small!\'
