"Now it's time for a massacre!"
Thump!
Rex's fierce declaration makes the heart of thousands of people start thumping faster.
Despite hearing the declaration, the people don't react and were rooted in their spot. It was for a moment that their minds were not connected to the real world, completely thrown off by the sudden declaration.
Unconsciously, the people turn their heads to look at their leaders.
Just a moment ago when the cities gathered in Beath City, the representatives has been briefed by the mayor about the situation. He explained that Evelyn, one of Rex's women invited him and their cities to live in Dargena City.
Dargena City is a sanctuary that would shelter them from the horror of war.
It's a place where the unending war between humans and Supernaturals couldn't reach.
Aware of this fact, the representatives started doing campaigns and talks.
Each of them was assigned to forward this idea to their own people and convey to them the situation. Helping them believe that this is the best course of action for the safety and future of the people.
Frankly enough, they were all successful in doing that.
Not fully successful, there are still doubtful people, but most of them are on board with this.
It was done for the sake of pacifying the people with the Supernaturals. Clearly, there are going to be Supernaturals inside Dargena City, and thus making the citizen fine with the presence of Supernaturals is very important.
Of course, it doesn't need to be instantaneous, but enough to not cause a ruckus.
Revolution can only be sparked and completed if there's a side willing to do something outside the norm, and in this case, accepting the future life of co-existing with Supernaturals.
But now, seeds of doubt started to grow within them as they look at their leaders.
The ten thousand people watching from below have their faces turn pale and their blood runs cold in response to Rex's loud declaration, with a voice amplified with mana that sounded thunderous.
Horror can be seen behind their eyes vividly, their pupils dilated.
Even then, they were still rooted in their spots, and most of them tries to keep being positive.
Since their leaders seem to be convinced of the purity of Rex, he must be playing a joke on them right now to lighten the mood. It was a thought that most wanted to believe, but Rex's sharp eyes made them doubtful.
Not only the gathered people but the others were also surprised by this.
The Elves know about the purpose of Dargena City, it's aimed to become a sanctuary for those tired from the war, a place to live a peaceful life. But Rex's declaration definitely not in line with his purpose which is very odd.
"Why is he saying that...? What's he up to?" Adhara muttered in confusion.
On top of that, the mayor also glanced at Evelyn, "What's the meaning of this, Evelyn...?"
Upon hearing this Evelyn snapped out of her daze and frowns, she was also confused as to what Rex meant by this, "I- I don't know. Wait here, I'm going to ask him what he meant by that" she said and dashed away.
Similarly, Queen Shanaela saw her people looking at her in confusion.
Albeit she was also confused about the situation that has turned out like this, she scans the ten thousand people before her eyes widened. It seems she realized something and signaled to her people to play along.
Meanwhile, Rex is gazing down at the scared people with probing eyes.
Currently, due to the declaration he has made, the people started to let out a bleak aura albeit subtly. On top of that, he was also scanning the ten thousand people's stats and searching for the perfect obvious candidate.
But even with this, Rex still doesn't feel like this is enough of a stimulation.
'Hmm... now, which one is going to be the black goat?'
Scanning his eyes over the thousands of people, his eyes then landed on a well-built man at the center, he has a clean and fresh complexion and is also experiencing the same amount of dread and panic as the others.
Just as he was doing this, Evelyn suddenly landed beside him with a worried expression.
"Rex, why did you say that...? You're scaring them" She said.
Upon hearing this, Rex glanced at her briefly while still keeping a stoic expression. It seems he doesn't intend to explain himself, "Shut up and watch, Evelyn. Don't get involved with this or you're going to be in trouble"
"H- Huh...? A- Alright" Finding that Rex is using a cold tone at her, she decided to stop.
Nodding his head, Rex then glanced over to Flunra and Delta beside him.
Flunra was also in his Werewolf form which was even more intimidating than Rex's transformation in the people's eyes. Then, he noticed the signal from Rex's eyes before turning his attention to the well-built man at the center.
Roar!!
Gaining the signal, Delta roared while also imbuing her lightning energy into it.
A jolt of lightning coursed through the air and created a soundwave that is deafening to the people, even the air trembled from the intensity of the soundwave. The people instinctively closes their ears in reflex.
Following that, Flunra then leaped from the hill and reach above the people.
Thanks to the sun shining behind him, Flunra's figure was shadowed by the sunlight, turning him into a silhouette. Realizing that he was landing at the center, the people scurries to the side to avoid him.
However, the well-built man fall flat to the ground when Flunra landed right in front of him.
Crash!
Due to the massive body that Flunra's Werewolf form possesses, the well-built man was shadowed under his wide figure. It was then, Flunra showed his vicious claws, "I'm going to start with you..."
Out of sheer horror, the people saw Flunra grabbing the well-built man by the neck.
Most of them started to back away in fear when they saw this, the doubt started to become stronger inside their minds. But in the next second, despite the man's plead, Flunra smiled diabolically and completely crushed the man's neck with his claws.
It was so disturbing, the sound of meat and bones being crushed can be heard clearly.
Splash!
andasnovel.com Blood splattered to the surroundings as Flunra did that, showering the people around him with the blood of the well-built man that was already been decapitated. Such a sight makes the people's stomachs grumble, starting to feel nausea.
"KYAAA!!"
"WAAH!! HELP ME!!"
In the next second, the people screamed in horror and tries to run away in response.
People who are at the center started to push the ones that are still oblivious to what had happened, and things quickly shifted from calm into chaos. But the blood smeared on them was enough to make the oblivious ones run too out of instinct.
Realizing what had happened, Evelyn couldn't stay still and stepped forward.
"Are you crazy?! What are you doing? Aren't you supposed to protect them?!" She exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Gistella's body suddenly tensed when a cold air brush her skin.
Gazing up to look at Rex who was still facing the people that were starting to panic, she could sense the anger coming from him, it was akin to a sharp air penetrating her body. Albeit she was cramped inside her room to devour the corpses and get stronger, she realized that Rex is angry at Evelyn.
If Evelyn overstepped, she was worried that Evelyn would make Rex even angrier.
Grabbing her shoulder quickly, Gistella then shakes her head.
Looking at Gistella telling her to not pursue the matter, Evelyn becomes even more hectic and rebutted, "Gistella, why are you okay with this? I'm not going to be calm when he killed an innocent man without a just reason!"
From her perspective, this is wrong, and this is not how Rex should act.
But this makes Rex's expression turns grim.
Rex slowly turns his head towards Evelyn and gave her an ice-cold state, the silent anger can be seen through her eyes, "Didn't I tell you earlier...? I told you to shut up and watch, or are you deliberately trying to provoke me?"
Noticing the anger inside his eyes, Evelyn's words got stuck in her throat.
For the very first time, Rex gave this kind of look to Evelyn. It was then she realized that there was no doubt that he was angry at her, and the anger is not a mild one either, it was a wave of complete genuine anger.
Evelyn's body freezes when she made eye contact with him.
It was then Gistella quickly stepped forward and held Rex's hand fearing that the situation might escalate. Even though Rex was angry at Evelyn not her, she could feel her heart thumping as if she was the one that has done wrong.
"M- Master... Let's focus, shall we? I'll do my part now"
Gistella said with a euphonious tone, trying to comfort Rex's anger with her words.
Listening to this, Rex paused for a second to keep staring at Evelyn who is already looking down to the ground before he eventually replied, "Hmmm... go and do it, I think I could tell them apart now"
Nodding her head, Gistella channeled her energy and slowly conjure a barrier.
In an instant, a blue dome started to encompass the entire place, stopping the people from running away. Many of them banged on the barrier desperately, but it was no use, they couldn't break through the barrier.
Since most of them are regular humans, they couldn't do anything against the barrier.
Rex looks down on the people and now saw that the bleak aura coming from them was clouding the entire place. Despite that being the case, he could find a couple of them are not emitting a bleak aura as intensely as the others.
'Now, it's easy to find them' He thought and nodded his head.
Upon finding the people he was looking for, Rex reaches out his hand forward lightly.
"Lightning Spell, Black Field Orko..."
Chanting his favorite lightning spell, the ground beneath the people instantly got swallowed by blackness. It was then, black lightning tentacles jutted out of the ground and grabbed some of the people.
Out of the thousands of people, there are about two dozens that got caught by them.
Flunra's eyes flickered fiercely when he saw the people that were caught by the black lightning tentacles, he then quickly moved swiftly through the people, fixing his eyes on the ones that were caught.
Just like that, the people that were caught got injured by Flunra's lethal claws.
The mayor who was watching this paled in utter terror, he couldn't believe that he was tricked like this. Guilt started to overwhelm him, he was the one that brought his people here just to be slaughtered.
Seeing his expression, Queen Shanaela smiled gently, "Don't worry..."
"Y- Yes...?" the mayor uttered stutteringly.
But Queen Shanaela didn't shame him as she too would tremble in fear if Rex ever turned against her, she knows that the mayor was terrified to his core, "You know that plan on evacuating the people to this city is exposed, right? It's why Rex's forces were fighting against the forces of the humans"
"It must be because of that. As you believed earlier, Rex is not a bad guy" She added.
Listening to this, the mayor then glanced back at Flunra that was attacking the ones that got caught by the black lightning tentacles, and asked, "D- Do you mean that those people are spies that were hiding amongst us...?"
"Yes, I believe so" Queen Shanaela replied and nodded her head.
Realizing this, the mayor could finally breathe easily again, it seems he was wrong to judge.
Although Queen Shanaela said that, she was still confused about one thing about this situation, 'I know that he was trying to get rid of the spies hiding amongst the humans, but I don't know why he declared that he would massacre the entire humans like that'
'The normal humans would still be terrified of him because of that' she thought.
Upon thinking about this, Queen Shanaela couldn't help but look at Rex above the hill that is always surrounded by the air of mystery, 'I really don't know the source, extent, and limit of his powers. He seems to be boundless...'
