Inside the Human Territory, all of the Awakened were surprised by this.

Most of them are below the sixth-rank realm, slowly trying to save and eventually buy a spirit they could assimilate with. But that dream was postponed when the elemental mana inside their bodies was robbed away.

Just like a regular human, these Awakened couldn\'t feel their energy at all.

A genuine sudden disappearance of energy, when their bodies were passed through by the shockwave originating from the huge sphere in the sky, radiating and pulsating with unknown power.

Liliya who was keeping an eye on Giana is currently looking out of the window.

Even though she was supposed to keep her eyes locked on Giana and make sure she didn\'t try anything, the destructive energies shooting into the sky from the powerhouses of the world is too attention-grabbing to be ignored.

It was a catastrophic sight, yet the Great Barricade\'s barrier thankfully shielded her.

\'What\'s going on, really? If this keeps up, the world is going to actually break. Will it be the end of the world...?\' Liliya ponders deeply, she doesn\'t know what would happen but it seems like the sky is about to break.

More scars can be seen in the sky, and it keeps on increasing in number.

Just then she saw a huge sphere appearing in the sky and she can feel a sudden change in the energy around her, she can feel it through her senses that something weird is happening when the sphere appeared.

In the next moment, a luminescent shockwave suddenly went past her fast.

Only when the shockwave was two seconds away from her that she realized that something hits her, the luminescent shockwave hits her, and now she can feel evidently that something is off with her body.

Touching the root-like tattoo on the side of her face, she can feel that it was cold.

Usually, the root-like tattoo on the side of her face that is linked with her Red Mark feels warm, yet now it\'s cold, showing that she loses her ability and becomes useless. She tries to ignite it a couple of times but it no longer works.

"What in the world happened...?" Liliya utters in confusion.

It was too sudden for her mind to properly wrapped around the fact that she lost her power, and even though that was the case, her attention then went back to Giana again that has been acting weird for the entire day.

Giana terrifies Liliya, and thus she decided to put a weakening mark on her.

Surprisingly enough, the weakening mark is potent enough to knock Giana out cold instantly.

But a problem arises, with Liliya unable to access her Red Mark power, the weakening mark on Giana also dimmed and the effect fades away. Due to that, Giana slowly regains back her consciousness.

Out of shock, Liliya jumped back until her back was against the wall when she hears a growl.

With a trembling voice, she then called out, "L-Lady Giana...?"

Seeing that Giana didn\'t reply to her and started twitching weirdly, Liliya glanced out of the window to her side and finds that the broken sky, albeit the huge sphere, contains a bluish full moon behind it.

Remembering her conversation with Prof. K, Liliya gulps harshly, \'N-No way, right?\'

Knowing that Rex was the actual perpetrator that decimated half of Ratmawati City, and is obviously a Werewolf, she wanted to deny what her eyes are seeing right now in her mind, but she couldn\'t keep that up for long.

Under the suppressed might of the Storm Moon, Giana slowly turn her gaze towards Liliya.

Instead of the usual color, her eyes now burn with deep blue color.

A gaze that is suitable more to an animal than a human, and she bares her fangs menacingly.

Just then Liliya\'s eyes shifted her dark blue eyes and saw Giana\'s hands starting to contort and turn into claws, her face as well as her body also did the same and turn into an inhuman shape. It was not complete, yet it was obvious that she was a Supernatural, a Werewolf!

It\'s not out of her expectation, seeing that Prof. K is acting weird about Giana.

But seeing it first-hand is an entirely different thing.

Shaking her head, Giana stands up and hunches like an animal before she started pacing left and right while keeping her animalistic eyes fixed on Liliya who was already sweating profusely in confusion and fear.

Usually, she wouldn\'t be this fearful, but her power right now doesn\'t work.

"Prof. K... where are you? I don\'t think I can handle her, the weakest Werewolf is around the fifth-rank realm and I lost my power. This is not good..." Liliya muttered to herself, wrecking her brain to get out of this situation.

Of course, she could leave the room but that\'s going to be a stupid decision.

If Liliya abandoned the room and leave Giana to herself, then the other military men or Black Hands might be suspicious if there\'s a growling and thumping sound from the inside. Even worse, Giana could find some way of escaping and start to cause havoc against anyone that she came across.

No matter what, she needs to stay inside and fought Giana somehow.

Growl!

"Eh?!" Liliya snapped out of her daze when she saw Giana lunging at her aggressively.

Rolling to the side, she managed to dodge the attack yet Giana crashes onto the wall and create a loud banging sound. Gritting her teeth as she can\'t let this continue, Liliya went into full focus.

\'My speed is still the same, I think I can take her with this\' Liliya thought with a nod.

Although the Red Mark power has been completely rendered useless, she realized that she somehow retains her super speed. But then again, she did have a gift for speed so without her power she should still be quite fast.

Deciding to knock Giana out, Liliya became the one that strikes this time.

Swoosh!

Covering the distance between them with wide strides, she wanted to aim the back of Giana\'s neck yet she was surprised when somehow Giana managed to sweep her legs and threw her body in the air.

It seemed despite being a Werewolf, there\'s still remnants of her fighting style.

Clenching her jaw, Liliya supported her upside-down body with her left hand as a pivot before landing a roundhouse kick perfectly on the side of Giana\'s neck, hoping that it would be enough to take her down.

But of course, that is hopeful thinking as Giana tackled her to the ground.

Brak!

Liliya grabbed both of Giana\'s hands, yet Giana tries to bite her repeatedly as the two of them were locked in a power struggle. Just as the two are in this extreme moment, the door to the room suddenly got knocked.

"Is everything okay, inside?" a muffled voice came from the outside.

Upon hearing this voice, Giana snapped her neck to look at the door in response.

Liliya panics and she in reflex maneuver over Giana\'s back and wrap her arm around the neck, choking her from the back before rolling to the side to get a more comfortable grip with her body underneath Giana\'s body.

As she was choking Giana, she then shouted, "Fine here, nothing to worry ab-arggh!!"

Out of sheer surprise, Liliya groaned in pain when Giana\'s claws punctured through her arms as she tries to break free from the position. It was painful, yet she held on and keep pressing against her neck, \'Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep!\'

"Hey! Open the door! Are you okay?!" the voice from outside yelled and banged on the door.

Knowing that it will be all over if the man outside breaks into the room, Liliya puts everything that she has with both of her eyes closed, ignoring the excruciating pain from Giana\'s claws scratching her arms.

But then suddenly, the door jolted open.

Brak!

Liliya jolted her eyes open as her heart dropped, \'Ah... it\'s over...\' she thought dejectedly.

Although she was already trying to think of a way to silence the person behind the door, her heart lifted up again seeing that the one that opens the door turned out to be Prof. K, surprised by what he was seeing.

Not wasting a second, he instantly stabs Giana with a serum which makes her struggle lessened.

"Let her go, it\'s a strong sedative, so she should be out," Prof. K said.

Upon hearing this Liliya slowly lets go of her arms before standing up, finding that Giana has already slowly become sleepier by the second and lost her ability to fight back. "What happened to her? Is it because of Rex?"

"Yes, Giana is the one that initiates the killing of Rex\'s parents. So this is her punishment"

Receiving that bombshell of news, Liliya was stunned as she now knows the reason why Rex has went out of control. It\'s something she didn\'t expect, and now it makes sense the motivation behind Rex\'s onslaught.

But then, she paused, "T-Then, are you also like her, Prof. K?"

Prof. K lifted Giana\'s body over his shoulders before he take a pause to look at Liliya straight in the eyes, and the two of them locked eye contact for a solid half a minute without anyone saying anything.

It was then, Prof. K sighed, "A phenomenon has happened to the world\'s energy level"

"I already garnered and complete everything I need in the human territory, and I\'m going to the Emham Forest right now to finish up before going back to the Supernatural Territory and reporting this to Rex" he added firmly, deciding to ignore her question.

Surprisingly enough, there were no mishaps along the way of doing what he needs to do.

King John has been surprisingly quiet in the last couple of days, and the UWO also doesn\'t seem to be making a move. But now that this phenomenon happened, it\'s going to be busy in the human territory.

Before any ultimatum has been set, Prof. K needs to leave before it was too late.

Pausing for another second, Prof. K then eventually asked, "What are you going to do?"

Upon hearing this, Liliya was stunned as this is not just a regular question of what she was going to do. It\'s obvious that Prof. K is asking whether she wants to come or stay in the human territory.

Knowing the backstory of all of this, she now has the right to decide with her own bias.

Looking down at the ground made of blocks of concrete, Liliya closes her eyes as she ponders on what she was going to do. It was then the brief memories she had with Rex flashes inside her mind.

It was not much, but she can argue that she knows the real Rex Silverstar.

One of the memorable times that she spent with Rex was during the time of their first mission. At that time, Rex never judged her appearance as well give her one of the most comforting nights of her life.

Even the way he defended her against injustice was ingrained in her mind.

Moreover, he also gives her a new perspective on the pleasure of being normal, and that has become one of the reasons why she kept trying to become stronger, which is to protect normal people from the world.

It\'s true that Rex is no saint, he killed countless of normal people when he went berserk.

But knowing deep down that Rex is actually a good person, from the way he fought for humanity and even protected her from injustice speaks more volumes than one grievous mistake.

Liliya can\'t judge him, she would probably do the same if her parents were still alive and killed.

Opening her eyes again as she comes to a conclusion, Liliya then looks back at Prof. K before she relies on her answer, "I\'ll come with you, I want to hear this from Rex himself. There\'s not much good in here anyway..."
