BXBX NOVEL Chapter 848 Climbing Frustration
Instead of clashing, the ninth-rank realm Awakened man tries to escape.
Calidora was expecting a little bit of fight from him but it seems she was wrong, the ninth-rank realm Awakened instantly tries to run away, fearing that he might be targeted by the one called Rex Silverstar.
Despite not coming from Ratmawati City, the man has heard of Rex's feats.
One that surprises him the most was the fact that he was able to cause a catastrophe in Ratmawati City and destroy more than half of the city. It was surprising because the man knows that he couldn't, he was not that strong.
If he tries to destroy his home city, he would not be able to deal that much damage.
Albeit the fire element is the most destructive element that can cover a wide range of areas, he wouldn't be able to destroy a quarter of his home city much less half. On top of that, Rex did that and even managed to escape.
Not that he lost, but he was the one that wanted to leave out of his own free will.
Just his feats alone speak of the power he possesses, and the ninth-rank realm man didn't want to be targeted by such a person by hurting this maniacal woman that is chasing him right now persistently.
'It's not like I can ask the Executor, we're planning to revolt against him right now...'
Clicking his tongue in displeasure, the ninth-rank realm man garner his energy to his legs before he exploded, dashing away with extreme speed. He quickly covered a great distance and eventually managed to leave Emham Forest.
On the other hand, Calidora shrugs her shoulders, she didn't need to chase after him.
Gazing up to the sky from the edge of Emham Forest, she saw a couple of drones already stationed above the forest, recording every single incident at this moment, "Okay, the stage is set. But maybe I'll give them a better view..."
Deciding on what to do, Calidora focuses her blood energy on her right arm.
In the next second, she brandished her arm in a cleaving manner and shot a wide blood-energy slash that cuts all of the trees in front of her in half. Nothing obstructed her way, and the people that were fighting ducked down, sensing the incoming attack.
Just like that, the trees were mostly cut down, obliterating the canopies of the forest.
After doing that, Calidora nodded inwardly and dashes away.
Meanwhile, the Awakened who were sent here to suppress the 'Supernatural Attack' were slowly being pushed back, and casualties started piling from their side. The tide of the fight has turned against them, and it's only a matter of time before they were going to be overrun.
In particular, the area where the two cursed creatures ran rampant was the worst.
Standing against these two cursed creatures was akin to being a pig waiting to be slaughtered. Not only were they find it hard to hurt the two cursed creatures, but there are all kinds of side effects just from being near them.
Under the distraction from the side effects, the Awakened stand no chance against them.
Screech!!
A deafening roar came from the insectoid creature, rattling the entire place.
Listening to this powerful roar, Daniel as well as Lauren glanced in the direction of the deafening roar with a frown on their faces. Daniel then puts on a troubled look, "Should we also take care of that? Is that a mutated animal that hibernated in this forest?"
"No, it didn't attack our people. Must be Rex's forces" Lauren replied with a firm nod.
Just as the two discussed that, something landed behind them.
Crash!
Sensing a powerful aura that seeped coldness into their bones, Daniel and Lauren widened their eyes in surprise. It was then, a whisper made its way to their ears, "Explain yourselves, or both of you are going to die here..."
Upon hearing this, Daniel and Lauren turn around and leap away in surprise.
Instinctively, Lauren already connected her conjured mental strings on Daniel's body, making him two times stronger. An automatic defensive reflex at the sight of Calidora, a Vampire that emits a horrifying amount of blood energy.
"And why do we have to explain ourselves to a Supernatural...?" Daniel rebutted back.
A smirk flickered across Calidora's face as she heard Lauren's harsh comment, she wasn't able to suppress her teasing nature when she heard this. Her body moved in a nonchalant manner, strolling over to one side, "Supernatural...? I can only imagine what Rex would think about that poor choice of words. Obviously, you're not a fan of Supernaturals"
Realizing that Calidora was also sent here by Rex, Daniel felt his throat tightened.
"Forgive his impudence, it's still a habit of ours and it would not happen again. We're here to simply assist in evacuating the people to Dargena City and also wondered if we and our people could join too" Lauren quickly added, trying to appease what Daniel said.
But that doesn't seem to be enough, the tension still keeps climbing higher.
Liliya then came rushing from the side seeing this standoff, she was obviously injured but still decided to intervene, "Don't hurt them, they are from the Burton and Hester Family, and they've come to help us. I believe Rex wouldn't mind if you let them be teleported too"
"Ah... you must be Liliya" Calidora muttered, glancing at Liliya with her red eyes.
Pointing at Liliya with her index finger subtly, she then added, "Go into the Cluster Domain quickly and treat your wounds, it was because of you that we're forced to help that crow human. So leave right now"
Upon hearing this, Liliya was completely surprised.
'I- It was because of me...?' She uttered inside her head, not expecting Calidora to say that.
Since she was following Prof. K from the start, she's quite sure that he made a deal with Rex in exchange for helping evacuate these people. But it seems, he wasn't supposed to receive any help.
Now she knows that Rex's forces were sent to help when he knows that she was here.
"But still, are you going to let them come too?" Liliya asked again.
Finding that Liliya is trying her hardest to convince Calidora to let them come too, Lauren decided to add for the sake of survival and pointed skywards, "Our family would try our best to help in whichever way we can, we're not asking for any privileges. Only a place to be safe. Since we got to this point, there's no turning back now"
Calidora looks up and finds that the drones were fixated on them.
At this very moment, the Burton and Hester Family has been exposed to be allying with the supposed Traitor. If Calidora refused them right now, then they would definitely be imprisoned and tortured as a Traitor would.
Listening to their sincere plead, Calidora shrugs her shoulders.
'It's not that I have any say in this, but it's fun seeing them worried that they might be refused' Calidora thought in amusement, she doesn't have the authority to refuse them, Rex already accepted told her to bring all of the ones that help into Dargena City.
Brandishing her hand lightly, Calidora nodded, "Fine, you can come"
"Keep on protecting the forest until everyone is evacuated, the mayor should be the very last person to be here, so if he was teleported then you can also evacuate yourselves" she added before glancing to the side.
Calidora made eye contact with Dealkandrax for a moment.
While Daniel and Lauren were relieved that they too were going to be accepted, a sudden jolt of cursed energy happened coming from their side. It was Dealkandrax that suddenly burst with powerful cursed energy and tries to escape.
Upon seeing this, Calidora moved in an instant, chasing after Dealkandrax.
It was clear that she was way faster than Dealkandrax, the gap between them was getting more minuscule by the second as he tries to escape the forest. But realizing that he couldn't, Deaklandrax pointed his hand forward.
Cursed energy gathered in his hand before a beam of cursed energy shoots forward.
Swish!
But instantly after that, Calidora grabbed Dealkandrax by the head and slammed him to the ground. A big crashing sound can be heard. However, she didn't stop there and stomped Dealkandrax on the back strongly.
Crack!
Boom!
"Do you think you can escape me? May I remind you of what you are?" Calidora asked.
Grunting in pain, Dealkandrax tries to stand up but the force from her feet becomes even stronger, pinning him on the ground, "Your despicable mother is Rex's pet now, she's nothing but an animal. Since you're her child, then you're even worst than a pet, do you understand?"
"I understand..." Dealkandrax replied meekly, his voice is not the same as it used to be.
Calidora then looks to the side with a fierce expression and saw the insectoid cursed creature looking at them, and it seems to be hesitating to approach, "Worthless animals, it took the two of you that long to clean up the opponent? Pathetic"
As she said that, blood chains suddenly appeared in his hand.
The insectoid-cursed creature suddenly got wrapped by the blood chains before being pulled by Calidora alongside Dealkandrax that is being held ruthlessly by the head, "Our job here is not done, protect this place with your lives"

Meanwhile, the Executor's Castle.
A figure wearing a white robe and a white crow mask knocks on the throne room door before being allowed inside. In a respectful manner, the White Messenger strides inside with his head facing the floor all the time.
Except for Brigitta and King John, nobody is allowed to look the Executor in the eyes.
"Forgive this small ant intrusion, but I'm here to report a situation"
"Hmm...? What is it? I am in a foul mood, so mind your words, lesser Human"
Upon hearing what the Executor said, the White Messenger gulps harshly as he brought bad news and couldn't really sugarcoat the report. "We are under attack, and it's most likely done by the Traitor, Rex Silverstar"
"Attacked...?" the Executor mutters with a straight face.
But listening to the grave tone the Executor is using, the White Messenger quickly added, "I- It's an actual attack. I believe he came here to evacuate some lesser humans, not a personal attack on you"
"If that's the case, you deal with it. This is your job, not mine" the Executor replied.
The White Messenger could only smile wryly from underneath his crow mask, the Executor really didn't care about anything other than himself, "Oh, this is a perfect incident. Label the lesser humans that wanted to be evacuated as Traitors, and bring them all to me, it's the perfect excuse to use them as a sacrifice"
Listening to this, the White Messenger felt his body freeze.
"A-Are you..." the White Messenger mused, but he quickly shakes his head to shrug off the hesitation in his voice, "I will do as you are told, I'll notify the others and bring those lesser Humans here for you"
With that being said, the White Messenger excuses himself and leaves the throne room.
Right after he left the throne room, the Executor looks out of the window and mused to himself, "As if I didn't know about the attack, these lowly humans are too much. That abomination is probably working with the Supernatural right now, he wanted to lure me out into a trap"
"I hate it, I want to kill them all, this is not how it's supposed to go!" he added in vexation.
The Executor tightened his grip on the armrests of his throne, enraged. He yearned to obliterate everything in his path yet he had one pressing task before he could do that, "I must finish my weapon first. If I accomplish this, then I can go to the Symposium, and if I gained father's inheritance, I will be invincible!"
"We'll see how you all begged your lives then..." he added, frustrated by his condition.
Just as he thought of that, a spark of cursed energy appeared on the side of the throne room. The Executor looks at it before a frown appeared on his face, "Cursed energy...?"
