Due to the unexpectedness of the amount of Elemental Stones that he managed to receive from this visit to the Eye of Elemental, Rex finally felt a whiff of a good omen in such a long time and he decided to smile at it.
Putting away the ultimate-grade Light Stone, he then glances at Delta sitting beside him.
"Here, why don't you try this?" Rex said as held the ultimate-grade Lightning Stone and flicks it towards Delta, the crystal flew in the air making an electric sound before Delta catch it with her mouth and crush it with her fangs.
Crunch!
Just like eating candy, the ultimate-grade Lightning Stone was crushed inside Delta's mouth.
But unlike a candy that can only bring tasteful flavor to the mouth, the ultimate-grade Lightning Stone ignites the white lighting all over and inside Delta's body. Sparks of white lightning around her become even stronger, it's like they were juiced up by the ultimate-grade Lightning Stone.
It was overwhelmingly dense that Delta's eyes turns completely white, engulfed in white lightning.
Aoooouuu!
Delta lets out an excited howl as she rejoices in this new sensation that she has never felt before, a luxury that nobody in the whole wide world has ever felt, not even Rex has ever felt that sensation making Delta the first living being to actually absorb an ultimate-grade Elemental Stones.
Peering at her stats, Rex finds that there are some changes.
<Delta - Silverstar Wolf>
Race: Stalwart Lightning Wolf
Power: Sixth Rank(Peak) - Hallowed Lightning
Mental: 451 (+68)
Strength: 811 (+122)
Agility: 1080 (+162)
Endurance: 922 (+12,138)
Intelligence: 810
It's been a good while since he last saw Delta and there are not many increases in her stats. Most of her overall stats have increased slightly, there are no major increases since they were apart. The only substantial increase was in her endurance, but that addition was because of the Deep-White Integument of Enri armor set that she's wearing.
Despite this, Rex couldn't help but note the increase that happened in Delta's intelligence stat.
At first, before they depart from the castle, Delta's intelligence stat is sitting at 410 points. But from absorbing one ultimate-grade Lightning Stone, his intelligence stat actually doubled which catches Rex by surprise.
'400 points gained from 1 ultimate-grade Lightning Stone...?' Rex mutters inside his head in shock.
Even though he knows that the ultimate-grade Elemental Stones is a very rare natural resource that nobody has ever seen or even believed to exist, this kind of increase is just too much for him to handle.
Rex is stronger in terms of lightning powers compared to Delta, but 400 points is still a lot for him.
As of this moment, his intelligence stat is the least out of all of his stats, sitting in the middle of the 4,000 range. One ultimate-grade Lightning Stone would mean a 10% increase in his intelligence stat, and that is a ridiculous amount.
Calculating from the system list, he roughly has 6,000 of these ultimate-grade Lightning Stone
'Wait a minute, that's about 2,5 million intelligence stat if I used all of them for myself' Rex thought while sucking in a cold breath, that's a terrifying amount. But then he shakes his head, 'No way, right...? I think it won't be a flat 400 every time I use it'
Despite this being the case, he now has an insurmountable of resources to develop his forces.
Shifting his attention away from the elemental stones that he gained from the Eye of Elemental, he glanced in the direction of the Tigerman race capital city, "Come on, Delta. We'll take a quick visit at the Tigerman before we get back" Rex said.
But as he wanted to mount Delta, his eyes landed on something on the side.
Paying a close look he finds that it was a small tornado the size of his hand, it didn't take long before Rex realized that it was the Eye of Elemental that has already shrunk to this tiny size from being exhausted of its resources.
Retaining the purple color like before, Rex crouches beside it with a frown.
'Must be the Primordial Stone that is still inside of it. However, now that it's singled out, it feels familiar...' Rex thought as his eyebrows dip into a frown. Now that the Primordial element is not mixed with other elements, he finds that it feels familiar.
It's almost as if he has sensed the Primordial element before, and he's trying to remember where.
Just as he ponders for a brief moment his eyes spark with realization, he now remembered that the Primordial element is familiar with the Executor's energy. Not with his Chaos element, but with another element that resides inside of him.
Rex doesn't sense it all the time, but there is some moment when this energy leaks out.
Upon realizing this mysterious element that resides inside the Executor's body, his eyes went back to the swirling puny purple tornado with a new light, he might have just found a hidden affinity that the Executor hasn't shown.
"I can't leave it out like this..." Rex mutters in concern now that he somewhat grasps the situation.
Although it was minuscule as there are probably a few stones inside this Eye of Elemental, he doesn't want to let the Executor have it and becomes stronger than he already has as of this moment.
Reluctantly, Rex admits that the Executor is ridiculously stronger than him.
It's going to be hard already to catch up to the Executor's power and eventually defeat him. Rex doesn't need the Executor to become more powerful the next time the two of them faced off, and in that case, he decided to hide this small purple tornado.
'System, is there any way to hide this Eye of Elemental?' Rex asked.
<Yes, the Abyssal Mirrage will be able to conceal the Eye of Elemental from anyone>
Without pausing to think or even hesitating, he purchased the Abyssal Mirrage despite its hefty price tag of 100,000 gold and quickly installed it onto the Eye of Elemental. This translucent cubical object projects a mirage that renders anything inside of it invisible without any trace of energy.
Rex quickly did that before he nodded his head, satisfied with the item he just bought.
Despite his very powerful senses that of a Werewolf which is the strongest out of any Supernatural Creature out there, he couldn't sense the Eye of Elemental anywhere. It was so perfect that he almost forgot where it was.
The Abyssal Mirrage has only one drawback, it can be knocked away with enough force.
But aside from that it's quite untraceable and perfect to hide it from the Executor's senses. After doing that, Rex mounted onto Delta before the two of them blitzes through the desolate plain, heading to the Tigerman race capital city.
It didn't take long before Rex saw the capital city of the Tigerman race at the far distance.
Most of the parts that are destroyed from the combination attack between the Dark Elf and the Dwarves were already repaired, the construction hasn't finished yet but it's nearing the end. For a Supernatural race, their infrastructure is commendable.
On top of that, the superior physique of the Tigerman makes repairing the wall quicker than ever.
Looking at this from a safe distance away while condensing his aura and energy into his body so that nobody would notice him, Rex smiled before he pats Delta on the head, "Wait for me here, I'll give a visit to our friend King Samobas before we head back"
Growl!
After the light growl, Rex's body blurred before he disappeared from his spot.
Meanwhile, a robust Tigerman that stands towering over most of the Tigerman guards inside a hall was walking through with a solemn air around him. A streak of lunar light seeped through the huge windows, illuminating the inside of the hall.
None of the Tigerman guards moved as this Tigerman walk past them, they were still as a statue.
"It's always the same in every era, never any peace... especially with the Executor on the scene" the Tigerman mumbled to himself, shaking his head and exhaling a deep sight. But then, an ironic smile appears on his face. "At least I won't be around for the trouble, that's one blessing at least"
The Tigerman then arrived at a huge gate, he gave a quick glance at the two Tigerman guards.
With a slight nod from them, the two Tigerman guards pull the gate open and reveal a spacious throne room where the King spends most of his time in. A single throne stands at the center with four royal seats at the back high up from the ground.
Due to the thoughts disturbing his mind, the Tigerman didn't realize that there was someone inside.
"Nice place..." A voice echoed inside the throne room out of nowhere.
Upon hearing this the Tigerman that is condoned in a royal outfit and a cape looks up with clear shock on his face, he gazes at the center royal seat above the throne and saw a figure sitting there with both of his legs stretched over the partition as if the figure owns the place.
But as the King himself was the one looking up, it's clear that the figure doesn't own the place.
Moreover, the figure doesn't have the appearance of the Tigerman race, he has a human appearance instead showing that he was not from this kingdom. Even though he was not from here, the sight of this figure sent terror to King Samobas.
"L-Lord Rex..." King Samobas greeted with a bead of cold sweat wetting the side of his face.
As it turns out, the figure sitting leisurely on the royal seat is none other than Rex. Bypassing every defense mechanism of the entire capital city, he managed to reach the throne room unnoticed as if he was a ghost.
Rex then mused, ignoring King Samobas' nervous look, "I've never seen this kind of setting before"
Immediately after he said that his body vanishes from King Samobas' eyes before a voice came from behind him, "Tell me, why are there four seats above the throne? Aren't you the highest-standing Tigerman in this place?"
From the tension filling the place, King Samobas gulps out of nervousness.
"We Tigerman has a King and four Elders managing the entire Kingdom, the King is the most influential but the Elders have the most authority inside the Kingdom" King Samobas replied, not even turning to look at Rex.
Rex nodded his head lightly before he walks over to King Samobas and headed to the throne.
Even though there's nobody stopping him from sitting on the throne that is not his, he decided to stop and sit on the stairs instead before his two terrifying eyes gaze back at King Samobas who is avoiding eye contact.
"I heard that you contested against the Executor, but I see now you're fine" King Samobas said.
Upon hearing this Rex shrugs his shoulders and leans back on the stairs, adopting a leisurely position without any hint of worry at all, "Yes, the Executor is quite strong but manageable" he said nonchalantly. "You must've heard it from the Dark Elf, does that mean you are already in contact with them?"
"We've already reached a truce, and I'm in the process of sign-"
Just before King Samobas can finish his sentence, Rex intervenes him, "Our rebellion group has started to grow bigger and bigger, and I was just thinking of suggesting to do a thorough check-up of the force that wanted to join. Since you're a King, you know that there's a need to be wary of intruders, right...?"
"In that case, what do you think is an appropriate punishment for an informant?" he added.
Even though Rex is clearly asking, King Samobas kept silent and didn't answer. "I've dealt with an informant before, and I'm quite merciful enough to let one of my pack members punish the informant. But as that pack member is no longer available for the time being, any informant would probably be punished by me now"
As soon as he heard this, King Samobas' body trembled a bit.
"What's wrong?" Rex suddenly appeared right in front of his face, inquiring with an innocent look. "I know it's quite scary to imagine me torturing the informant. But you don't have to worry, I would only do that to an informant. Well, you're not an informant are you, King Samobas...?"
"O-Of course, not. I'm not an informant, it's just that..."
Just before he can finish his trembling sentence again, the expression on Rex's face turns grim as his eyes glowed with a red hue still looking at King Samobas. "If you're not, then why would there be a Vampire hiding here...?"
