"General Theodas, what happened to the Watchers? Why are there three humans here?" King Jorik asked while eyeing the three figures standing in front of the gate, none of the Dark Elves expected visitors this night.
In terms of appearance, King Jorik has the same features as the other Dark Elves.
Long silver straight hair falling down to his shoulders and ashy skin which are the main features of the Dark Elves, his royal armor is black equipped with black and crimson long royal cape, and he also wears a black crown that looks more like a circlet to a crown on his head.
With sizzling energy steaming out of his body, King Jorik has the presence of a King.
Even a King such as himself can't help but feel uneasy with the sight he's seeing right now, his red eyes turn black for a second but he instantly frowned while looking at the three figures who are shrouded in darkness and can't properly be deciphered.
Despite the ability that he used in his eyes, King Jorik can't see the three figures' faces.
Something is blocking his ability to see through the darkness of the night that should be easy for a Dark Elf like him who lived and thrive in the night, the Dark Nature can't help him identify the three figures that visited the Dark Elf Kingdom.
On King Jorik's side is another Dark Elf, bearing a similar aura to King Jorik himself.
Wearing a tight combat suit layered with some armor on his vital parts and also a crimson robe that covers the right side of his body which hides the blade he's holding in his right hand, General Theodas also frowned, "I can't reach them, my King. I think they have been neutralized"
Upon hearing this, King Jorik's expression tightens in response.
"Speak of your purpose of coming here, humans!" King Jorik shouted with an authoritative tone.
For a brief moment, there was only silence, and this made hundreds of Dark Elves with some riding mutated black panthers pour out of the gate and assume a battle formation with a simple command from General Theodas.
Many bows are pointing at the three figures shrouded in darkness.
Each of the arrows has already been imbued with dark nature energy that can leave corruption to anything that it hits, the potential damage that can be done by dark nature energy is way higher compared to nature energy.
It's one of the reasons why some feared the Dark Elves more than the Elves.
Receiving nothing in response, King Jorkin then asked once again but this time there was a fierce look on his face knowing that this might escalate to a big fight, "What did you do to the Watchers guarding our territory? Did you kill them all?"
Upon his loud question, one of the three figures moved and came out of the darkness.
Coming out of the darkness is a humanoid figure wearing a white dress and surrounded with purple sparkling dust that flutters from each of her steps, the violet eyes and silky white purplish hair showed that there's something magical to her.
Not quite a human yet not quite a Supernatural, even King Jorik doesn't know what she is.

King Jorik frowned when he heard this, he was completely clueless about this situation.
Before he can even answer the woman's question, General Theodas already answered her first, "We do not talk or discuss with humans. Leave our territory, or we'll be forced to kick you out by force!" he declared followed by the sound of armor from the Dark Elves in battle formation tightening their stances.
As if she finds General Theodas funny, the woman chuckled while covering her mouth.
Receiving such a reaction to his threat, General Theodas already gripped the hilt of his sword tighter intending to insinuate a fight. But then, the woman replied, "Well, we're not quite humans ourselves"
"Then what power are you speaking from?" King Jorik asked, pushing General Theodas back.
Finding that King Jorik is pushing him back with his arm, General Theodas looks at him in disbelief but King Jorik gives him a warning look to stand down. Reluctantly, General Theodas stepped back and watches the exchange from behind.
Looking at King Jorik with her violet eyes, the woman replied, "Someone that you don't mess with"
"Our Alpha has come here personally to speak with the Dark Elf King and a Dark Elf called Uncle Isniu, it'll be beneficial for your kingdom but you've wasted our time and even pointed your bows at us. It's displeasing for our Alpha" she added with a monotone voice, pointing and glancing back at the figure at the center.
Upon hearing this, General Theodas frowned, "Alpha...? Do humans have Alphas?"
Similar to General Theodas, King Jorik is also confused as to what the woman meant by that. None of the humans has any reference to an Alpha, which is exclusive only to Werewolves and Shapeshifters.
But contrary to the others, one of the Dark Elves widened his eyes in absolute shock.
The Dark Elf that punished Uncle Isniu was the first one to be caught off guard when he heard Uncle Isniu being brought up, 'Could it be...?' he thought but soo he notice the mark etched on the woman's nape when she turns to look back
It was the symbol of a star and its silver, showing exactly what power she represents.
Without wasting any time, the Dark Elf went over to King Jorik's side like a meek scared cat and quickly whispered to his ears, "My King, they are not humans, they are Werewolves from the Silverstar Pack. I'm sure of it!"
King Jorik's eyes were opened wide upon hearing this.
Not only King Jorik but the other noble Dark Elves that heard this also sucked in a cold breath. Each one of them has read the Oath Pact from Queen Shanaela, the Silverstar Pack is clearly written there and the Alpha is the Werewolf that insinuates the Oath Pact in the first place.
Pure terror can be seen in their expressions, they didn't expect to get a visit from such a figure.
Rumble!
Out of nowhere, the ground started rumbling uncontrollably under the immense pressure from an aura that contains vast energy that surpassed King Jorik himself, the ground in front of them started to crack and split which brings chaos to the Dark Elves.
King Jorik gazed at the figure at the center and finds it stepping forward into the light.
Like the embodiment of terror and death itself, a monstrous figure came out of the darkness exposing its body to the shining Ice and Snow Full Moon. Exposing only a fraction of his power, the figure already showed that there's a terrifying power hidden inside of him to the Dark Elves.
Of course, the figure is none other than Rex.
Rex came out of the blanket of the darkness to expose himself, he can already see the bleak aura coming out of every single one of the Dark Elves just from him exposing a little bit of his aura, 'I can't do much more than this or I'll expose my location' he thought inside his head.
With his eyes shifted to the most royal-looking Dark Elf, he scanned King Jorik.
<Jorik Inaran Myrathyndra>
Race: Imperial High Dark Elf
Power: Eighth-rank (Mid) - Son of Dark Nature
Mental: 5,500
Strength: 11,700
Agility: 21,150
Endurance: 9,150
Intelligence: 15,500
'Hmm... pretty strong and a ridiculously high mental stat. Well, he's a Dark Elf so that's not a surprise' Rex thought before he nodded his head, the other Supernatural races that aren't a part of the high-rank ones don't have a ninth-rank entity.
Without a ninth-rank entity, Rex is basically invincible. It's like a knight fighting farmers, unbeatable.
On that note even if there's a hidden ninth-rank realm entity that the Dark Elf had, he's not that worried since he just reach the first ascension. If he can fight two ninth-rank realm Supernaturals before, then one ninth-rank entity shouldn't be a problem for him.
Nothing can stop him this night in doing whatever he wanted.
Crack!
Under the energy leaking out of Rex's body, the Dark Elves' walls also started cracking.
"Do you not want to talk to me?" Rex asked boldly while staring down each of the Dark Elves, his eyes then ended at King Jorik which puts the King in a predicament. As a King, he needs to be perceptive of the situation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLooking at the current situation he knows that if Rex wanted to, he can destroy the entire kingdom.
Not even him who obviously has a ninth-rank realm power, but nobilities from high-ranking Supernatural races can flatten their entire kingdom much less an entity higher than those nobilities.
Knowing that King Jorik realized that Rex definitely has something to say.
If he didn't have anything to say then why would he bother coming here? and even if he's a wicked being and wanted to kill for sport, why hasn't he killed them yet? King Jorik's eyes sparkled knowing that this might be a chance for them.
King Jorik then glanced to the side, "Prepare the great hall, we're going to receive them"
"My King, are you really going to accept them? We can get investigated soon, and the Silverstar Pack coming here won't do us any good" General Theodas replied hesitatingly, he still doesn't find bringing the Silverstar into their kingdom a good idea.
But King Jorik gave another look at General Theodas, "I understand..." he finally replied helplessly.
A moment later.
Rex and the others walked through the gate and catch the beautiful sight of the Dark Elf Kingdom, there are many natural glowing ornaments such as glowing flowers, glowing leaves, and even glowing mutated fireflies that flies around beautifully.
It's definitely a new sight for them that hasn't really been to any Supernatural Kingdom.
Upon stepping into the Dark Elf Kingdom, many citizens of the Dark Elves peeked from the glazed windows of their homes. But this kind of reaction is natural, Rex is a terrifying entity to greet and he doesn't rebut that.
"Do you really need me to act that way? I'm a soft person at heart you know" Evelyn mutters.
Glancing at her who is pouting from being told to act overbearing and mean. Rex smiled and pinch her waist which made her yelp and quickly slap his hand, "Stop it! Aren't you supposed to be hating Supernatural? Look at you now, teasing me inside the Dark Elf Kingdom!" Evelyn complained with her lips pursed.
"Well, I also feel weird doing this but I need to do this to protect you guys" Rex replied.
Even though he said that he would protect them all, Evelyn heard it differently and thought that he meant to protect her. She didn't believe that it was literal, but even in words already made her blush.
Looking at the two, Flunra sighs and shakes his head.
'Seems like the Full Moon effect is still affecting the two, the absolute coldness will force Werewolves to hibernation but if the Alpha is close to the Luna the absolute coldness will only heighten their lust...'
'Just look at these two, we're being watched by the Dark Elves for Origin's sake!'
While standing behind them, Flunra hides his face using his hand out of embarrassment. Rex should've just rested this night but he just had to find out about Adhara, but then again there's no stopping him.
As King Jorik and a couple of guards approaches, Flunra tries to keep his cool.
Realizing that Rex and Evelyn are still teasing each other, Flunra can't help but clears his throat.
Due to that Rex noticed that King Jorik is already nearing him, he puts on an indifferent look before he commanded, "Lead the way, King Jorik. I've many things to discuss with you..."
