None of them know where King John gain this power, but they were excited.

Promised that they would gain insurmountable physical strength, capable of propelling them into a higher realm, the chosen Black Hands gratefully accepted this generous gift. Moreover, they feel special as only a few were chosen from the thousands of Black Hands.

But a few days after that, there was an issue to attack the Supernatural territory.

No particular reason was provided, yet nobody complained.

As a lower member of humanity, the Black Hands, Awakened, and Military could only listen to their superiors and does what they are told. Not knowing the reason for the attack is not out of the ordinary for them.

It\'s not their job, their job is to do the rough fighting for humanity.

During the briefing and army assigning, another briefing was given to the Black Hands.

Each of the Black Hands that was bestowed with power from King John was pulled into a different room where they were told that no matter what happened, they need to come back alive and report their fights.

Other soldiers in the army are expandable, while they are not.

Just from that alone, the Black Hands can agree that this is somekind of an experiment.

Combining their confession with the information given by Flunra about the Ten Thousand Magus ancient clan, Rex now know can be sure that this is definitely the key to figuring out the Executor\'s preparation.

\'I could buy the information from the system, but I don\'t want to if it\'s not necessary\'

Knowing full well that he would need to spend a lot of his gold to prepare the city for the upcoming First Breath, he wants to conserve as much gold as possible as he doesn\'t know the exact number of gold he needs.

With that in mind, Rex strides towards the middle-aged man that tries to escape earlier.

\'Although I don\'t know about the Ten Thousand Magus clan in ancient times, I should still be able to figure out their powers. But I need to see it first-hand\' Rex thought, ignoring the trembling middle-aged man that was paralyzed in fear in front of him.

Pointing at the middle-aged man, he then turns his face towards Evelyn behind him.

"You said earlier that your power bounced off from them, right? Attack him, I want to see it"

Nodding her head, Evelyn fired a lance of dark red fire straight at the middle-aged man, aiming at his chest without wasting a single second. It was fueled by her power, including her spirit energy.

In that attack, Evelyn tries to use her maximum power output on the middle-aged man.

Swoosh!

Clang!

Rex already knew what would happen since Evelyn already told him earlier, but he still couldn\'t help but be surprised when he saw the lance of fire that hits the middle-aged man\'s skin literally bounce off and hits the wall behind him.

It made contact with the skin before being deflected, almost as if his skin is made of rubber.

Gazing at the middle-aged man\'s skin, Rex frowns slightly.

With his heightened senses, he can see a very thin layer, less than a millimeter thick of foreign energy that seems to be mana. It absorbs the mana from the surroundings and injects it into the middle-aged man\'s body, strengthening his physique.

But that\'s just it, that\'s the only thing the thin layer of energy does.

From his inspection, there was no indication that this thin layer has deflection properties.

Since his mana senses has been immensely strengthened upon reaching the ninth-rank realm in his Sky-Black Lightning element coupled with his keen sense of a Royal Black Werewolf were quite terrifying already, he now could not only sense any energy but also see its movement in an intricate manner.

This made it possible for Rex to quite literally determine its use.

Yet despite his terrifying sense, he couldn\'t find the source of the deflection properties that could knock Evelyn\'s attack off course upon making an impact with his skin. A couple of things came to mind, and he needs to investigate further.

\'If we\'re talking about her and Adhara\'s elements, there\'s one thing they differ...\'

Pointing his index finger towards the middle-aged man, bluish energy gathered on the tip before Rex fired a water bullet with enough power to match the middle-aged man. Similarly, the water bullet also got deflected.

Not even a scratch on the middle-aged man can be seen, even though it hits his skin.

Just then, Rex changed to use his Sky-Black Lightning element.

"Lightning Salvo"

Suppressing his power enough to be on par with the middle-aged man\'s physical strength which peaked at the seventh rank realm, he cast a spell and fired a lightning strike from the tip of his index finger.

It was a normal spell, he didn\'t use any spirit energy or enhancement on it.

Blitz!

As the lightning strike travels through the air, Evelyn keeps a close look at it with her eyes.

Looking at the black lightning strike in slow motion, her eyes dilated seeing the black lightning strike makes contact with the middle-aged man\'s skin. But the moment it makes an impact, something surprising happened.

The black lighting strike felt the deflecting force, yet it stayed and pierce the skin.

"Kyaargh!" the middle-aged man grunted in pain.

Glancing down towards the hole in his arm, he grunted through gritted teeth while holding his arm in pain. A seventh-rank realm equivalent spell managed to pierce him easily, sending a shockwave of agony to his brain.

"H-How...?" Evelyn mutters, speechless at what she was seeing.

Earlier she puts everything that she has into her attack, yet it didn\'t do anything. On the contrary, Rex managed to hurt the middle-aged man despite suppressing his spell without using any sort of enhancement.

Rex\'s spell acted like a strong hot knife, while hers acted like limp steel.

Upon inspecting the effect of his two attempts, he gave a knowing nod. He had been able to decipher the power with only two attempts, it was relatively easy for him as he had all the necessary ingredients to figure it out.

If he hadn\'t, attempting to figure out this power would\'ve been exceedingly difficult.

"Did you figure it out?" Evelyn asked curiously.

In response to this, Rex nodded his head in affirmation. "What is it? Why can\'t I hurt him?"

After seeing that a full-power attack from Evelyn was not effective, Rex gave two attempts. The first one determined whether it was a unique case to only Evelyn, but the water bullet deflected shows that it was not.

Following that, in his second attempt, he uses his Sky-Black Lightning.

Not using his full power, he makes it strong enough to hurt the middle-aged man only to make sure his theory is correct. And it turns out that he was right, his Sky-Black Lighting works on the middle-aged man.

"It\'s the True Element, only True Element can pierce him" Rex said grimly.

Out of Adhara and Evelyn\'s fire elements, there\'s only one thing that they differ in, and that\'s the fact that Adhara\'s fire contains True Element while Evelyn\'s doesn\'t. It was the cause of why her fire doesn\'t work.

Similarly, Rex\'s Sky-Black Lightning has True Lightning properties.

Unlike Adhara\'s violet fire which only contains a sliver of True Fire properties, Rex\'s Sky-Black Lightning doesn\'t only has True Lightning properties but has a complete form of it, causing his lightning spell to easily tear through.

\'You prepare well, Executor...\' Rex thought, a maniacal smile appeared on his face.

Although it might not look much, this power is certainly very powerful and quite effective when the First Breath comes. If all of the Black Hands have this power, then their powers will reach sky-high.

Without the power of True Element, or equivalent powers, then they would be invincible.

Out of the countless Awakened in the world, only a few have True Element properties, and it\'s even fewer for those who have perfect True Element like him. It\'s not certain, but those like Adhara who have sliver True Element properties in their elements are able to pierce these Black Hands yet might have their power output reduced.

Rex and those who have perfect True Element are the only ones that aren\'t affected.

\'System, True Element is the key for Awakened. But what about Supernaturals? What is their version of True Element?\' Rex asked curiously, he wanted to know the broad effect of the bestowed power.

<Does the user wants to buy the information for 10,000 gold?>

\'10,000 gold? Not as expensive as I thought. Yes...\'

<Supernatural races also have their own higher realm of energy that is equivalent to the True Element that the Awakened has, each of them has one that would propel their power above the norm>

<High-rank Supernatural Races high realm energy>

Werewolf: Kingly Energy

Shapeshifter: Eldritch Energy

Vampire: Pristine Blood Energy

Demon: Hell Void Energy

Undead: Pure Death Energy

Looking at this, Rex nodded his head as the other races has their own version.

Now he\'s even more certain that there are only a few members of each races that have their higher realm of energy, and he even suspects that amongst the Elders that were going to be awake, most of them would not have the complete version.

Just thinking about this, a maniacal smile appeared on Rex\'s face.

Earlier when he was talking with the others, he heard that Skoghad said that there\'s a possibility that the Executor made his move out of recklessness. Unexpectedly, he feel a sense of anger when he heard this.

It was due to the fact that he wanted the Executor to plan this perfectly.

Rex doesn\'t want that being reckless as the motivation for the Executor making a move, he needs him to keep being like this, planning things to the best of his abilities as he wanted to beat the Executor thoroughly.

So the fact that the Executor might be being reckless doesn\'t sit well with him.

But now that he knows about this, the fact that the Executor didn\'t lose his touch, his eyes glowed in excitement that hides the urge and desire of crushing completely and putting the Executor under his mercy.

"What\'s a True Element?" Evelyn asked, she was not familiar with the term.

Upon hearing this, Rex snapped out of his daze before he replied, "It\'s some sort of strengthening power to your element. Don\'t worry, I\'ll help you get the True Fire, it\'s going to be essential for us to have it"

Evelyn smiled brightly when she heard this, at least her situation can be fixed.

Not intending to idle any longer as he already got what he came here for, Rex turns around and leaves the warehouse followed by Evelyn. Standing outside, he looks at the Supernaturals guarding the warehouse.

"Is there a prison in this city?" Rex asked.

Albeit stutteringly, one of them replied, "Yes, I think Captain Dindora found it"

"Okay, put those three Black Hands in there and lock them up" Glancing back towards the three Black Hands, he then smirked, "And don\'t worry, they won\'t fight back. So you could bring them away right now"

With that, the Supernaturals nodded their heads and bring the Black Hands away.

Rex then takes a deep breath before he looks towards the broken sky, he can feel the uneasy air brushing against his skin, indicating that the world-wide event is on the brink of happening.

But there was no fear in his eyes, only excitement and absolute confidence.

Immersing in the sensation of calmness before the rampaging storm that was about to come, Rex closes his eyes for a solid minute. Eventually, he opened them again before his eyes flashes fiercely.

\'System, I think I\'ve already come to a decision...\' Rex thought.

Smiling evilly with his smile spreading wide on his face, he then added, \'I think I know what I\'m going to use the last chance for. Use the last chance that I have, I want to know everything about-\'
