"Eh...?", Rex was rooted in his spot upon hearing what the beggar shouted.
Not only does what the beggar said surprised him, but the beggar shouted it with absolute certainty as if he really did see him turn into a Werewolf. It made his heart skip a beat.
"He's a Werewolf!! He's a Werewolf!"
Without stopping, the beggar kept pointing at Rex while shouting the same thing.
Rex looks around and finds the people walking by starting to steal glances at him, they are even starting to back away from Rex which makes him even more confused, 'There's no way they believe what this guy said, right..'
But seeing their expressions, he started to have a second thought.
Without letting this go on for any longer since he's famous and well-known which would be trouble if someone recognize him, Rex covers the man's mouth, "Why are you shouting that?", he whispers.
The beggar didn't reply and just kept shouting the same thing even though muffled.
It's starting to annoy Rex since more people are looking at them the longer this beggar kept ranting, he then is forced to grab the beggar and disappear from the place.
Rex brought the beggar onto another rooftop to avoid people, he let go of the beggar gently.
After Rex let go, the beggar crawls back in utter fear until his back is against the wall.
"Don't eat me! Don't eat me!"
"Help, someone!"
"Werewolf, a WEREWOLF!"
Upon hearing the beggar keep shouting non-stop Rex rolls his eyes as he's very much annoyed by this guy, he then bought a rune from the shop and engraved it on the rooftop's wall. It creates a bubble that is soundproof.
"Why are you shouting nonsense? What part of me looks like a Werewolf to you?"
"No! Help me! There's a Werewolf!", the beggar didn't even bother answering testing the patience that Rex never knew turns out to be short, it's like talking to a fixed robot and it's very annoying.
Rex shakes his head before he finally asks, 'System, is there a way to make him forget about me?'
<Do the user want to buy Flask of Amnesia for 2,000 Gold?"
'Yes...', he immediately replies before he takes out the Flask of Amnesia from the inventory, a crystal clear elixir appears in his hand which made the beggar widen his eyes in shock.
The beggar points at the elixir and shouts, "S-Supernatural magic! Supernatural magic!"
"It's not Supernatural magic, now drink this and we're going to act this has never happened", Rex said while slowly approaching the beggar with the elixir in his hand, but this in turn made the beggar stand up and started running around the rooftop.
While looking at the running beggar, Rex feels really annoyed that turns into anger.
Rex's eyes turn from his natural color into red color for a brief moment that startled the beggar, but with a small dash, he manages to reach beside the beggar before grabbing his face.
Opening the elixir, he then forced the beggar to drink the elixir.
After the beggar can't do anything except swallow the elixir content, Rex lets go of the beggar as he falls to the ground feeling his eyes droopy and sleepy. It's the elixir taking effect.
It didn't take long before the beggar falls unconscious while Rex sighs in annoyance.
"To think that I need to really hold myself back because of this beggar... let's just get out of here, there is no Succubus left here", Rex utters to himself while looking at the unconscious beggar.
But just as he was about to take him down and leave, Rex felt two auras approaching him.
Rex instantly recognizes both auras as Adhara and Evelyn since their scents can be smelled even from here, 'They must be worried since I moved from Dupok City...'
With that, he grabbed the unconscious beggar before he suddenly stopped.
<The target's body is malnutrition and very weak even amongst normal humans, Flask of Amnesia effect with be deadly to the target and may result in death>
Since the system can scan whatever Rex touched, this notification makes him stop.
Although Rex doesn't really know what the beggar saw him do during his berserk state, it's a good idea to just make the beggar forget whatever it is to not cause future problems. So he needs to make the beggar forger, 'Is there any other item to make him amnesia?'
<Flask o Amnesia is the lowest rank mind alteration elixir, there are no lower-ranked elixir that it>
Reading this, Rex finally gave up, 'Forget it, just buy the antidote for the Flask of Amnesia. He's just a civilian so I can't really kill him like that', he thought.
Rex gave the beggar the antidote before he left him in an alley.
It's risky to let the beggar remember whatever he saw but there's no way of erasing it, killing him is not an option as Rex doesn't want to do that for something selfish.
Upon leaving the beggar, Rex then went in the direction of Adhara and Evelyn.
About ten minutes later,
Since Rex is heading to Evelyn and Adhara who are also heading to him, they met in the middle relatively fast. One thing that Rex immediately notice is the smell coming from Evelyn.
It's more fragrant and also stronger than usual, something he didn't expect.
Adhara saw Rex's eyes instantly land on Evelyn, she briefly glance at Evelyn before she sighs, "During the Wolf Moon, Evelyn didn't change into her Werewolf form but rather a different form"
"She's a Luna, that's probably why. Did you notice her changes too?", she added.
Hearing this, Rex unconsciously nodded his head while still looking at Evelyn that is somehow emitting a rigorous amount of scent that is very alluring. What he's feeling is different from what Adhara's feeling when looking at Evelyn.
For Rex, she's like an aphrodisiac multiplied by ten.
As for Adhara on the other hand, Evelyn is not emitting the alluring scent but a comforting one.
Maybe it's because the Luna's job is to be the Alpha's bride which made her presence emits an alluring scent for Rex and Rex alone, and it's clearly working since Rex is very distracted.
Under Rex's gaze, Evelyn can't help but shyly looks away.
Rex's eyes are burning with passion while looking at Evelyn as if he was about to ravish her.
But soon Rex snapped out of his daze as his body feel a bit tired from last night, "She definitely changed. I'm really tired from last night, let me rest...", he said before sitting down on the grass.
The three of them are currently beside a huge lake that has beautiful sparkling blue water.
Dense trees are surrounding the entire lake, and the flowers and green lush grass decorate the lake creating a beautiful scenery. It's very weird for there is no one here despite the city Rex was in before bustling with people.
It took just a glance before Rex know why there are no people here,
Since the three of them at minimum have sixth-rank power, they're practically invincible in this place but there are some fifth-rank mutated animals here that will pounce at anyone that's stupid enough to set a foot here.
Beauty is often deceiving, and behind the beautiful lake lies many rampant mutated animals.
Rex sits down on the grass before he soon laid on his back, the air here is refreshing and he intends to take a power nap here before going back to Ratmawati City.
"What happened last night? Why are you here?", Adhara asks while sitting on his side.
While closing his eyes shut, Rex then replied, "I don't really know but I think I went berserk, but thankfully I didn't hurt any people except for killing a bunch of Succubus"
"I was about to ask that too...", Adhara suddenly said.
This prompted Rex to open his eyes and looks to his side, he finds Adhara glancing at Evelyn before she finally said, "When we were heading to you, we met a bunch of disfigured Succubus' corpses. There are at least about a hundred of them, and it seems they are about to launch an attack"
"Huh... then it should be me. My other side seems to have the same goal as me", Rex replied.
It's just been happening these past few days ever since the Invincible Apparation awakened, Rex feels that as long as his other self didn't kill humans then he doesn't mind albeit he prefers not to have his other self.
Rex comes in at the right time to the city that he was in before.
From what Adhara said and what he knows, about a hundred Succubus are already ready to attack the city hiding in the forest with the Succubuses inside collecting souls that already reached 619.
Although Rex doesn't know what they are planning exactly, he can roughly guess the impact.
If somehow these Succubuses are successful in taking over the city using the orb they are cultivating, then there's no one that knows the entire city is taken over. The Succubuses outside are reinforcement if there's a powerful Awakened inside the city.
Just thinking about it makes Rex's heart clenched, it will be disastrous.
Imagine the entire city got mind controlled by the Succubuses, and when other people or even Awakened that are tasked to protect the city came they didn't know they are surrounded.
A huge win for the Succubus if they manage to do that, but Rex came in just at the right time.
"The state of the war is getting out of control with the Strongholds standing strong, I'll try to handle the matters with the Hester Family and Sebrof quickly. We need to do something and get rid of the Supernatural Strongholds", Rex mutters decisively.
With the power he currently has, making a change in the war is within his grasp.
Merging the UWO and the SCO is already done and soon the effect will be evident, so now he will support the SCO and UWO from the shadow to help them tilt the war.
Or at least take down the strongholds that are very detrimental to humanity.
Thinking about the Succubus corpses that he killed, Rex suddenly got an idea, "Both of you go and secure the corpses of the Succubus, we're going to need it to stabilize Ryze's condition"
"No, just let me take care of it", Adhara replied suddenly.
Although it's a bit weird seeing that Adhara wanted to take care of it herself, Rex is too tired as he just waved his hand without thinking much before Adhara dashes away into the forest.
Rex closes his eyes once more trying to rest for a moment,
It's not usual for Rex to be this tired, but he just went berserk and meet the Countess of the Dark Luniric that rattled his head from trying to scan her using the system. So it didn't come without a reason, last night is very eventful.
Evelyn who looks at Rex from the side and saw the tiredness on his face decided to approach him.
Despite his eyes being closed, Rex can feel Evelyn approaching him before she gently lifts his head up and laid his head on her thigh for comfort. He didn't ask for it, but he can't deny that it feels really comfortable.
Just like a squishy pillow but this one is way better, one hundred times better.
"Evelyn... wake me up in like half an hour", Rex mutters lightly.
Hearing this, Evelyn didn't reply and just nodded her head before looking at the beautiful scenery. Mutated fishes that are the sizes of an adult hand are splashing the water, and the flower petals that are floating above the water create a beautiful picture.
Some may call this a paradise on earth, and currently, that is what Evelyn is thinking.
It's a beautiful scene alright but what she's most happy about is the person laying on her lap, the only man that can make her heart flutters from way back before during the Faraday University tournament all the way to here.
Recently just when she turned into Werewolf, this feeling is amplified and this alone brings joy.
'If your past doesn't haunt you the way it did, I wonder what kind of man you are right now...'

Supernatural Territory, Scarlet Banes Kingdom.
The King's Castle,
Silence... the insides of the throne room are covered with the goddess of silence with the heavy upbringing coming from King Baralt sitting on his throne with 8 Werewolves kneeling in front of him slightly shivering in fear.
They are all Alphas of the top pack in the kingdom, the strongest Alpha there is.
Amongst the 8 Alpha Werewolves, three of them are wearing golden armor-clad with a majestic brown fur cloak attached to their armor. Those three are obviously stronger than the rest.
If Rex were here, he will instantly know that they are in the upper echelon of the eight-rank realm.
But there's one Werewolf that doesn't wear armor like the 11 Alphas, this one is wearing a robe and is standing beside King Baralt acting just like his right hand or advisor.
"Do you have news for me? Why did all of you ask for me?", King Baralt suddenly said.
His baritone overbearing voice reverberated inside the throne room like the whispers of death, this question along makes most of the Alphas shudder. One of the Alphas clad in golden armor then said, "I've received the news from the Undead, as we know three Alphas are wounded from the failure in attacking Eqosa City. They got ambushed just after they got out of the secret passage"
Glancing at King Baralt slightly, the Alpha then said, "The Undeads told me that it was the Werewolf in the human territory that plan this, he's the reason for our failure..."
Although the Alpha wanted to be loud and clear when stating the facts, he's a bit worried when bringing up the matter regarding the Werewolf in the human territory.
But seeing King Baralt didn't get angry, the Alpha continues.
"One Enchanter has been lost as this Werewolf deceived the Undead acting as if he was a part of our reinforcement, and that Werewolf should also be the one that discovered the secret passage"
King Baralt covers his face using his hand which makes the other gulp harshly.
Just after seeing that, one of the golden armored Werewolf then immediately said, "We're gathered here to ask for your forgiveness for failing you, please punish us as you see fit"
After saying that, the throne room went silent again.
Since King Baralt has reigned the Scarlet Banes Kingdom with dominance and terror, they all expected to be punished heavily by him. But to their surprise, King Baralt lifted his head and finally said, "I accept your apologies, but make sure not to disappoint me again"
Upon hearing this, the Alphas look at each other in confusion.
They all have the same thought coursing past their minds, 'That's it...?'
"All of you are dismissed", King Baralt added before the Alphas bowed and left the throne room.
Even after exiting the throne room, they are all still confused as to what just happened. Something like this has never happened. King Baralt is not this forgiving, in fact, he's very ruthless.
The throne room is empty again, only King Baralt and his advisor.
It was all silent for almost ten minutes straight with the advisor standing beside King Baralt patiently, soon King Baralt opens his mouth, "Today is the third time I dreamt about it..."
"I dreamt of the one-eyed black wolf, he's occasionally peeking at me"
"From the darkness..."
"But today I didn't only see one one-eyed black wolf, I see two of them staring at me sitting on the throne"
King Baralt unconsciously clenched his fists with a hint of worry on his face, it's not a king-like behavior. He then glances at the advisor on the side and asks, "Hallac... you know what the one-eyed black wolf right?
"I know... the Oust Wolf, the wolf that clawed one of his eyes to become more focus"
"It's the wolf that represents the will to sacrifice anything to gain what he wants, removing one of his eyes symbolizes its determined and unwavering will. Staring right in front of you means someone close, but peeking from the darkness means the opposite"
"As for the numbers...", Hallac stops before glancing at King Baralt's troubled look.
Hearing what Hallac said, King Baralt's expression turns even more concerned. He then gazes at the throne room door blankly before he mutters softly, "They are aiming at my throne..."
