Chapter 1007 Outburst of the Wise

Knowing the urgency of the situation that they needed to deal with, as the time the Executor reached the Symposium was uncertain, Flunra didn\'t want anything to do with this, "Step out of the way. Now is not the time, tell that to Lady Lauren"

Upon hearing this, the Awakened was tongue-tied.

She could hear the worried tone when Lady Lauren sent her, but Flunra\'s response was cold.

Even though she wanted to say something, she couldn\'t.

Realizing what the Awakened\'s expression meant, Evelyn tapped Flunra\'s shoulder, signaling for him to be patient for a little longer, "It will be fine if we listen to her. It wouldn\'t take longer than a couple of minutes, perhaps it\'s something really urgent"

Despite her calming tone, Flunra\'s impatience only heightened in response.

"I didn\'t want to say this bluntly, but there\'s really a general lack of command chains in our ranks. How can a measly Awakened like her, even though she was sent by Lady Lauren be capable of directing a message instantly to us?" Flunra retorted, his demeanor fierce.

From his perspective, this doesn\'t seem right.

He gave a sharp glance at the Awakened before he continued, "If there\'s a matter that we should know, there should be steps to go through before reaching us. Entertaining them like this would only undermine the Silverstar Pack\'s standing"

Listening to this, Evelyn was at a loss for words.

She didn\'t understand why Flunra was this vexed at the Awakened who is only a messenger.

Not even waiting for an answer, he walked away from the spot.

"I will be waiting for you ahead. If you take too long, I\'ll leave without you" Flunra mused.

In the midst of this unfolding scene, the Awakened quivered in her boots, the formidable aura emanating from Flunra was enough to make her sweat profusely. It seemed like her body was about to be crushed under the oppressing force.

Additionally, it was also so sudden.

Flunra\'s outburst took her completely off guard, as she hadn\'t anticipated that meeting the two of them here and stopping them for a moment would provoke such a vehement reaction from Flunra.

"Forgive me, Lady Evelyn. I was being rash" the Awakened apologized, her voice trembling.

Upon hearing this, Evelyn snapped out of her daze.

Clearly, she was also shaken by Flunra\'s sudden outburst which he never does.

Realizing that the Awakened was on the verge of crying, feeling that death was palpable if Flunra stayed longer, Evelyn forced out a bright smile and replied assuringly, "No, I should be the one apologizing. Forgive Flunra\'s words, he\'s under immense stress so I hope you can find it in your heart to understand and don\'t take his words to heart"

Albeit still feeling uneasy, the Awakened eventually nodded her head.

It was going to be hard to forget that outburst, but the Awakened would definitely try.

"So, what report do you bring?" Evelyn finally asked.

With that, the Awakened delivered the message of stress that Lady Lauren had regarding the escalating tension within the Dark Elf Kingdom. She was fearful that certain noble families from the old order might engage in conflict with one another and King Jorik.

According to her, a civil war was on the verge of breaking out.

Only the presence of a member of the Silverstar Pack could possibly appease the situation.

Learning about the situation didn\'t shock Evelyn that much, the balance of power of the Dark Elf Kingdom would definitely be disrupted when the old Dark Elves awakened. It\'s inevitable in her perspective, but it was unfortunate that it would be dealt with right now.

\'Just like she said, this is not a small matter\' Evelyn massaged her forehead with a sigh.

She was hoping for a time off, but it seemed there was none for her.

Even though she wanted to help Flunra in order to deal with the matter regarding the Ice and Snow princess, someone has to stay behind and calm the tension in the Dark Elf Kingdom. If none of them did, then an allied force might become useless.

Rex wouldn\'t like that outcome, so this is a big matter that needs to be handled.

After receiving the news, she sent the Awakened back.

Coursing through the forest, she was trapped in her mind as she was obviously deliberating to go to the Dark Elf Kingdom herself. As much as she wanted to come with Flunra, she knew where the priority lay.

Seeing Flunra, crossing his arms in wait, she quicken her pace.

Hesitating for a second, she eventually said, "I can\'t go with you, the Dark Elf needs me"

"Just as I expected, it was very urgent. We might lose the Dark Elf if I don\'t go and deal with them. With the approaching fight, losing the Dark Elf would lower the chances of us winning against the Executor. So, I\'m going to go to the Dark Elf Kingdom" She elaborated clearly, there was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Upon hearing this, Flunra surprisingly scoffed in scorn.

Pivoting his body away, he muttered under his breaths, "You wasted my time"

"Do you have something to say to me, Flunra? It\'s not usual for you to be acting like this" At the edge of him leaving, Evelyn stopped him as she could sense that there was obviously something that seemed to bother Flunra and make him act like this.

At that very second, Flunra turned around and stood right before her.

He was looking down at her from a higher sight point, "I said you wasted my time, Evelyn. A Luna doesn\'t only need to be kind to her people, but she should be strong emotionally, and more importantly, have absolute trust in the Alpha. Just know that if you fail to fix the situation in the Dark Elf Kingdom..."

"I will tell Rex himself my concern for you as his Luna" He added firmly.

Not giving Evelyn any chance to form a reply, Flunra immediately vanished from his spot.

Flunra dashed away, leaving Evelyn rooted on her spot in shock.

Once again, Evelyn was caught off guard as Flunra had never acted that daring towards her.

In every instance that she had with Flunra, he had never shown this side of him. Even she thought that the relationship between her and Flunra was stronger than before, considering that he had given her advice and such to be a proper Luna.

But then out of nowhere, his demeanor towards her changed completely.

Almost as if something happened to him.

"Just what is his problem? How can he even suggest that?" Evelyn mused with a frown.

...

Meanwhile, back to Calidora\'s castle.

After the reveal of Rex\'s main plan against the Executor, a struggle to wield the weapon of the Supreme One, Calidora went ahead and told him to consolidate his new greater cursed body so that his cursed source would turn into a heart of curse.

Only then he would be able to choose a path of mind or zone.

Since the sun was already up again, Calidora took cover in the safety of the shadows.

It was one of the things that her grandmother told her numerous times.

Back when she was of the age where she could bear a child, the only child that she could bear as that is what goes with the Vampire race, her grandmother emphasized that she would need to be under the shadows at all times, even though she was wearing an artifact that would shield her from the sunlight.

Her grandmother said that although she would be safe, the child inside her will not.

One wrong move and she might lose her child.

Unlike humans who could bear children as much as they want, a Vampire could only bear one, and if she lost the child during pregnancy, then there was no way that she could bear another one for the rest of her life.

A nightmare for Vampires, which is why Calidora stays within the shadows at all times.

But now, her mind was somewhere else.

Listening to Rex\'s plan earlier, albeit she didn\'t react much, she was truthfully surprised by what he said, \'To think that the Witch of Chaos would align herself with him, when she was as selfish as one gets, and even putting herself in danger, I\'m surprised...\'

\'Then again, she must be desperate to kill the Executor\' She shook her head lightly.

Calidora had known the Witch of Chaos from the past.

Not that she knew the Witch personally, but her families sometimes brought her up due to the disturbance that she was able to cause with her cursed power. She distinctively recalls that the Witch is described to be ultimately selfish.

Only the collective might of the Executors was capable of taking her down.

Ever since, she was bound in a master and slave contract.

It was understandable that the Witch wanted to kill the Executor, but aligning with Rex is still a break to her character. \'She must\'ve been really desperate, and Rex is the one with the highest chance to defeat the Executor in this new era, so she chooses him\'

\'But after the Executor was killed, I can tell that she would do something\' Calidora nodded.

The Witch of Chaos\' biggest threat is the Executor.

Despite the Fifthborn being the weakest, she must\'ve feared that if pushed to the corner, the Fifthborn would awaken his siblings which would be very bad for her. So Calidora assumed it was possible that she wanted to get rid of the Fifthborn first before advancing her plan.

Just as she was trapped in contemplation, Rex stood up and approached her.

Snapping out of her daze, she looked up at him, "Are you finished with your consolidation?"

"No," Rex shook his head, a glisten of curiosity in his eyes. "I\'m still undecided about which path I should choose, and I thought that if you show me yours first then I might be able to choose the suitable one for me"

Upon hearing this, Calidora smiled and flicked her hair back, "Very well..."

Immediately after requesting that, a foreboding air strikes out of Calidora\'s body massively.

Rex was surprised by this as the level of cursed energy was insurmountable.

Even though I\'ve seen her use her cursed energy when fighting the Witch of Chaos\' pets alongside me back then, the concentration... it\'s way higher than back then. Don\'t tell me that she has been holding back all along.

Caught off guard by the density of cursed energy, Rex frowned but kept his stand.

He didn\'t budge even for a little bit.

She lifted her gaze, exposing an intense inferno of cursed energy blazing in her eyes, giving a perspective of being able to devour anything, she slowly extended her hand. With a gentle touch, she placed her index finger at the center of Rex\'s chest.

It was a lie if Rex said that he was not nervous right now.

He had only entered a cursed zone one time, so this would be the second time.

Despite his experience, he still felt nervous inside.

Just then, when the eeriness reached its peak, a whisper came out of Calidora\'s mouth.

"Cursed zone, Mirage of Terror..."

Even though Calidora was saying that from his front, her voice somewhat felt like it came from directly beside his ears. It was so deceptive that Rex even turned to the side in reflex, surprised by the oddity of her cursed chant.

Upon chanting that, a black-and-white zone encompassed both of their bodies.

In the next second, their reality shattered.

Although he doesn\'t feel anything, Rex can evidently see that he and Calidora are being moved somewhere else, to her cursed zone to be exact. He then looks around to inspect Calidora\'s cursed zone for the first time.

Soon, he found himself standing in the middle of nowhere.

From appearance alone, it seemed to be a vast expanse dyed crimson, spanning endlessly.

"How do you like it? My cursed zone?"
