Rex is perplexed when he heard this, there's definitely a missing puzzle that he doesn't know.
If the missing puzzle is exposed then he's quite sure that everything will start to make sense, there must be something that can explain the drastic change in the Supernatural and Humans behaviors. Queen Catsha definitely knows it, but it's not easy to get it out of her.
Without the missing puzzle, he's left in the dark. Ostracized and confused.
"Is she lying about this?" Rex mutters silently.
Adhara's eyes flickered to look at Queen Catsha's emotional aura, she was greeted by the clear color of blue showing no indication of malice or anything aside from calm and collected. She shakes her head in reply, "No, she's telling the truth"
Upon hearing this, Rex glanced back at Queen Catsha calmly.
"Don't beat around the bush, Queen Catsha. Give it to me straight, what's the reason for you to warn me from meeting with the humans right now?" Rex decided to ask directly, there was no need for him to use underhanded tricks.
Since she's warning him for herself, then his visit to the humans must have an impact on her.
Instead of answering the question Queen Catsha sneered, showing clearly that she doesn't have any intention of telling him, "I know how much you hated the Supernatural, Royal Black Prince. I will not tell you anything, but you better listen and turns back to wherever you come from"
After saying that, Queen Catsha went back into the pit of hell and disappeared from the place.
Not even a trace of her energy can be felt in the surroundings, showing that she's already gone. Rex clicked his tongue in displeasure, 'Why can't she just say it? No matter, I got a few hints from the conversation. It seems the missing puzzle will affect the entire Supernatural race, which forces her to unwillingly warn me like this'
'But even so, Kyran can't wait. I still need to confront Brigitta' he added.
Rex then turns his body around before he signals for the others to resume their original destination with a nod, the sky is already starting to get dark and it's the perfect time for them to confront Brigitta.
With that, the three of them vanish and head to the Great Barricade.
On the way to the Great Barricade, Rex's mind can't help but be stuck at Queen Catsha's warning. It feels like he should just turn back, but the matter regarding Kyran needs to be addressed and he can't let Kyran wait for too long.
As of this moment, he doesn't even know where Kyran is being kept.
If he dragged this on even longer then he can't sustain the guilt building inside of him from keeping Kyran waiting like this, 'Just focus, Rex! Forget about what she said and focus on rescuing Kyran. No matter what, today I need to know where Kyran is held at least'
Reaffirming his resolve, Rex quickens his pace as the three of them get through the forest.
At the rate of Rex and the others' speed that already surpassed most of the entities in the entire world, they reaches the end of the forest and stepped into the desolate plain between the Great Barricade and the Supernatural territory.
Slowly looking up to the majestic bulwark of humanity, they now stand across the Great Barricade.
'Hmmm... the Great Barricade is repaired and fully functioning again, they move quite fast to be able to repair that much damage in such a short amount of time' Rex thought seeing the Great Barricade's barrier has fully functioning again.
Of course, there's still the stronghold that was made by the Vampires. But everything else is repaired.
Looking at the top of the Great Barricade in search of Brigitta who is the person they came here for, Adhara frowns when she finds not a glimpse of her, "Where is she? We're not even trying to hide our presence, but she hasn't sensed us yet?"
Upon hearing Adhara's comment, Rex also rubs his chin in confusion.
When he decided to announce himself to the Awakened beyond the Great Barricade, he was interrupted when he heard a light grunt coming from Flunra. Glancing over his shoulder, he saw Flunra touching something on his waist.
"Flunra, what's wrong?" Rex asked.
Not replying for a couple of seconds as he tries to reach the slight burn on his waist, Flunra then replied, "I don't know, I felt a sting on my back. Don't worry about me, it's probably nothing important"
Rex paused for a second before he nodded his head, he faces back at the Great Barricade.
Slowly looking up into the sky that is already shrouded by early darkness, he closes his eyes to feel the subtle wind brushing against his skin. Feeling the moonlight energy slowly nourishes the air, he cracks a smile as his soul feels rejuvenated.
It didn't take long before Rex flared his chest open and slowly spreads his arms to the side.
Swoosh!
Under his concentration, the air around him started to change color. It was what it looks like to the others. But in reality, the air around him started to be replaced by the expanding kingly energy that lies dormant inside his body.
Like sand being drawn by burning incense, a King Mark slowly appears on Rex's forehead.
Emanating a massive amount of energy that makes the ground shake as if two tectonic plates are colliding with each other. It's hard for even a normal creature to not notice his presence right now, he deliberately exposes his energy to the surroundings.
As the King Mark nears complete, the shaking of the ground also becomes even stronger.
Rex's eyes then jolted open and sent a destructive gushing force that exploded to the surroundings right when the outer ring of his King Mark appeared, the glimpse of power from his inside quaked everything as far as the eyes can see.
It peeled the ground like peeling orange skin, and the impact keeps on expanding rigorously.
Crash!
With the advancement of the gushing energy, it takes no more than a couple of seconds before the gushing energy clashes against the Great Barricade's barrier. The translucent barrier becomes visible upon impact.
Under the domineering kingly energy, a spreading crack started to appear on the barrier.
At this point the Awakened and the military personnel guarding this section of the Great Barricade turn into chaos, they were caught off guard by the sudden attack and quickly stumble to their position to resist whoever is attacking.
Many of the advanced turrets at the top of the Great Barricade pointed at Rex instantly.
But none of them fired their shots at Rex realizing that they are facing a ninth-rank realm entity, completely immune and invincible to the bullets of the turrets and even the spells from the Awakened.
It doesn't take long before this section of the translucent barrier shatters into a million fragments.
From the back Adhara has the opportunity to witness such majestic imagery, she can see Rex's wide back that gives a sense of an unbreakable wall emanating red kingly energy alongside the translucent barrier across the desolate plain shattering under his might.
Like a picture of a legendary being, Adhara captures this moment and keeps it inside her mind.
If she can name this moment that she captured, she would definitely name this moment as, 'Dominance of the Invincible Werewolf... yes, that's a good name for this moment and for him' Adhara thought with a light smile.

Meanwhile, inside the stronghold.
Brigitta is sitting inside her own room doing her duty to protect the stronghold for a bit longer, she was not meditating as usual since she has visitors today. Two people came to the stronghold and decided to meet with her to send their greetings.
Since the stronghold is guarded by a ninth-rank realm Awakened, they need to pay their respect.
One is a dashing woman clad in a black robe with some armor plating around her vital parts, she has natural platinum blonde hair and ruby red eyes that are glowing slightly. Beside this woman is a muscular man that is in fact hasn't reached puberty yet wearing a similar outfit.
From the looks of it, both of them are prepared for a fight or an adventure.
Flunra would recognize these two as Jasira and Ryze, they are here to embark into the Supernatural territory so Ryze can have proper training against an actual enemy. It would be beneficial for his growth.
"Lady Brigitta, it's a pleasure to meet you in person" Jasira said while bowing slightly.
Upon hearing this Brigitta waves her hand not wanting any unnecessary pleasantries and formality, "You must be Jasira from Molyver City, are you here to meet with your mentor? If so then you can meet him near the lodging place"
"No I'm not, I thought Lady Giana already informed you. I'm here to train Ryze" Jasira replied.
Brigitta pauses for a moment before she realizes her mistake, she did remember that Giana told her Jasira and Ryze are going to go through the stronghold to train in the Supernatural territory. "My apologies, there are many things inside my mind and I forget about that" she apologized.
But Jasira shakes her head, "No need for an apology, I can't imagine the burden you bear"
Despite meeting for the first time, Brigitta has a pleasant impression of Jasira. Not only is she well-mannered with her soft words and tone, but she's beautiful and also a genius in battle. A precious diamond of humanity.
"Come here, let me mark you. It'll make it easier to track you down if something goes wrong"
Jasira signaled to Ryze using her eyes to go ahead and let Brigitta mark him, but as he takes the first step the entire building suddenly rumbles which catches the three of them in surprise. A frown quickly appears on their faces.
Only Ryze looks scared, contrasting with Brigitta and Jasira that went alert.
Knowing that something just hits the Great Barricade's barrier, the two of them went out of the room and instantly heads over to the top of the wall. Both of them then gaze at the far distance and find that they have some companies.
At the edge of the forest, they saw three humanoid figures standing mightily.
But their attention instantly went to the one in the center, this one is emitting a ridiculously horrifying amount of energy that threatens to destroy everything and anything that are in the surroundings.
Upon seeing this figure, Jasira widened her eyes in surprise, "What a power..."
"That thing is easily a ninth-rank realm, it's emitting even stronger energy and aura compared to Sir Ludris. No way, is that one of the Kings of the Supernatural races? But aren't they supposed to be avoiding us?" she added while sucking in a cold breath.
It has so much power that Jasira can feel the gushing energy hurting her skin.
Jasira feel her entire body screaming at her to run away, this thing that decided to pay a visit to the Great Barricade is the strongest being that she has ever seen in her life! It's impossible, and yet it stands right in front of her eyes.
Glancing at Brigitta, Jasira also finds her expression turning pale when she saw this.
Unlike back then Brigitta knows that this time they are meeting as enemies, there's no connection between them anymore. Now they are standing at the opposing sides, and one wouldn't show mercy to the other.
"Lady Brigitta, what is that thing?" Jasira asked in a panic.
Upon hearing this Brigitta gulps harshly before she mutters whisperingly, "Now you are witnessing the Werewolf that destroyed Ratmawati City, he's the Alpha of the Silverstar Pack. Rex Silverstar..."
"W-What?! I- I thought the Alpha was-" Jasira stutters uncontrollably.
But Brigitta cuts her sentence short and corrected her, "No, the Werewolf that you and I encounter was a Beta of the Silverstar Pack named Kyran. You've thought of him as the Alpha due to his bizarre form. But you are wrong, he's not the Alpha of the Silverstar Pack"
"It's this one, you're looking at the Alpha right now" she added sternly.
Jasira was absolutely shocked and terrified when she heard this, she slowly turns her head to look at the figure emanating devastating energy and aura as her blood slowly turns cold, 'T-That's the Silverstar Pack Alpha...?'
