Chapter 967 Take Me When You Leave
Caught in a weird situation, the three of them were stunned for a second.
When the reality of his predicament dawned on Rex, he hastily retreated back and put his manhood away. Cursing silently within the confines of his thoughts, he found himself in a very familiar hard-to-explain situation, similar to when it was the Violet Moon.
Back then, it was Rosie. Now, it was Mavenna.
Rex scanned Mavenna and sighed in relief, finding that he hadn't made the mistake yet.
"Are you okay...?" He asked with a soft tone.
He feared that he forced himself to Mavenna in the brief moment he lost consciousness.
Despite Mavenna being a Succubus, her reaction doesn't indicate that she is used to this kind of thing. It was because of that, Rex felt guilty for what he had done, especially if Mavenna got some kind of trauma from him when she was already in a problematic situation, badly treated by the Executor.
A long pause happened with Mavenna's eyes fixed in place.
She doesn't seem to be listening.
Following the direction of her gaze, Rex became acutely aware of her lingering focus on his crotch. In an attempt to draw her attention back to reality, he cleared his throat. Only then that she blink, snapping out of her reverie, and realize that her mind was still on what was happening earlier.
lightsΝοvel.cοm With a reddening complexion, she averted her gaze away.
Mavenna tidied her very disheveled clothes before standing up with the help of Rex.
Her clothes were showing so much of her skin that it caused Rex, who had regained his composure, to swallow hard. Mavenna's captivating allure was irresistible to any man, even the holiest monk would find it impossible to avert his gaze from her womanly curves.
"Don't worry, I'm okay. It was partially my fault too" Mavenna replied with a smile.
As she was the one who promised the drunken Rex to help relieve himself from his lust, it was also her fault that things spiraled out of control like this. If only she had attempted a different method to bring him back to his senses, they might not have found themselves in this predicament.
Nevertheless, both were at fault, and they decided to forget about it.
Rex then turned to Ryze who was still stuck at the entrance, still frozen like a statue.
"I can explain, but for now, I need you to follow me" Rex said while massaging his forehead.
Although he was not as influenced as he was earlier by the Hare Moon, the sensation still lingered. He knew he had to isolate himself from others for the night, returning only when the sun had risen and the Hare Moon's influence had waned.
But as he was about to leave the armory, Mavenna held his hand from the back.
Initially, Rex was worried that she might request something.
Since it was obvious that her lust was awakened, fiery desire in her sultry eyes that were burning with passionate gaze, it was natural for him to think of that. However, it became clear she wasn't seeking such intimacy.
"Sir Rex, I have something to tell you," Mavenna said, her voice hesitant.
At the sound of this, Rex stopped and frowned, pivoting his body around again to face her.
Exchanging meaningful looks, he went and engraved a rune on the walls.
Rex also gestured for Ryze to get inside in order to avoid the prying eyes of others outside.
When the both of them had their attentions fixed on Mavenna, she continued, "I don't know how to say this, and I know how this looks, but I'm asking you to believe me. Gistella... I suggest you don't seek for her right now"
"Hmm...?" Instantly, Rex's expression darkens. "What do you mean by that?"
"Don't get me wrong! I saw the Executor talking with her a couple of times" Mavenna added.
Upon these words, Rex closed the distance between them in a quick stride, his fingers firmly gripping Mavenna's shoulders. His intense gaze bored into her eyes, urgency dripping in his voice, "Where did you see her? Don't withhold anything from me, I need to see her right now!" He pressed, his tone demanding.
"I saw her days before you got here, so I don't where she is now" Mavenna replied truthfully.
Even if Rex tortured her right now, she doesn't know where Gistella is.
Observing Mavenna's eyes to see if she was lying or not, Rex found that she didn't lie and this made him slump his shoulders dejectedly. He was worried about Gistella's well-being, especially when he couldn't contact or smell her scent around the encampment.
"So, what do you mean by what you said?" Rex eventually asked.
He was looking at Mavenna with clear suspicion as he trusted Gistella with all his heart.
Out of the others, Gistella is probably the most loyal to him.
No matter what the Executor says or does, he's confident that she would not break.
"Like I said, I saw her talking with the Executor, and I heard your name is being brought. In my perspective, they were planning something against you" Mavenna explained, she was quite certain about this.
But in return, Rex suddenly chuckled in ridicule, he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
It was obvious that he didn't believe her one bit.
Ceasing his hearty chuckle, he gazed at Mavenna and raised an eyebrow, "Gistella is an important member of my pack, so what you said is a big allegation to her. Do you have any proof that she was plotting against me?"
"Well- I..." Mavenna stutters, she doesn't have any proof to back her claim.
Since she only overheard their conversation, it was obvious that she didn't have any proof.
However, she quickly gritted her teeth as she was not lying, "Please, Sir Rex, you have to believe me! I heard it with my own ears! Maybe it's not going to be today, but I'm sure that the Executor is going to bring Gistella to you at some point"
Upon hearing this, Rex paused for a second, keeping his gaze locked on her.
In hindsight, she doesn't seem to be lying.
No cues of lying were caught by his eyes, and this somehow made him believe her.
But Gistella wouldn't do anything like that. I trust her completely, which is why I chose to send her here instead of Evelyn or Adhara. Unlike the two of them, Gistella is the only one who can maintain her composure in the presence of the Executor, apart from Flunra. I am certain she wouldn't take any actions that could put me in jeopardy.
"Why are you telling me this?" Rex asked, wanting to know her motivation.
Simply enough, Mavenna replied with a firm tone, "I want you to take me when you leave"
"You want to run away from the Executor?" Rex asked again.
Mavenna nodded her head, she was treated like a slave here, and it scarred her soul as it brought back memories of the past that she wanted to forget. If she kept being here, then the level of humiliation would only increase, knowing the Executor's personality.
Due to that, she wanted an escape route, and Rex was the best chance she had.
<Sudden Quest!>
A lost Rosadonna Succubus is asking the user to help her escape the place, escape from the Executor's grasp lest she would be humiliated even more. Help her escape and bring her back to Dargena City!
Rewards: 300 Billion Exp and 2 vials of Rosadonna's Tears.
Upon seeing the notification from the System, Rex was surprised as this was quite odd.
In his experience using the System, the Sudden Quest only appeared when he, himself, or his pack members were in trouble, or he needed to achieve something substantial. He has never seen the System respond to a request from someone.
Something is different with Mavenna, and this is the first clue he gets.
Now that the System is responding to Mavenna, then she must have something that I need.
Rex focused back on Mavenna before he eventually nodded, pivoting his body around, "I will help you escape this place if that's what you want," He opened, his voice firm. "But regarding Gistella, I'm sorry, but I can't trust you"
"I trust Gistella more than you, so don't talk about this to me again" He added warningly.
Obviously, he wasn't going to trust Mavenna.
As far as she was concerned, she was a pet that was owned by the Executor.
Placing faith in her words, despite their apparent persuasiveness, felt akin to trusting a rabid dog that had been nursed back to health. It might appear calm at one moment but could reveal its true nature and bite when least expected.
He would trust nobody from the Executor's side for now.
A moment later.
Ignoring the fact that the Executor or even Edward might detect their departure from the encampment, Rex and Ryze ventured into a nearby forest. Both soon discovered a secluded spot that Rex intended to use as a resting place for the night.
Even though he had a feeling that he wouldn't get a wink of rest.
"I understand that you might be confused right now, seeing what you saw, but it's not what it seems. It's the Hare Moon's influence that affected me, and because of that, you ended up seeing me in an embarrassing situation like that" Rex explained, noticing Ryze's odd silence along the way.
But he was probably still shocked, seeing that he was engaging that with Mavenna.
He probably felt conflicted, being close to Evelyn and Adhara.
Upon hearing this, his eyes regained some light, "The Hare Moon's influence?"
"Yes, I'm a Werewolf, and the Hare Moon amplifies my lust" Rex replied again with a firm nod.
Now that the misunderstanding has been clarified, Ryze chained Rex with the same chain he used back when he was restraining himself from going berserk. Both of them then sat on the cold ground in silence.
Rex was still lamenting his mistake, he didn't know the Hare Moon would be this strong.
Eugh... I promised them that I would be fine, and turns out I'm not.
Just the night he spent in the Executor's encampment and he already broke his promise. He didn't go all the way thankfully, but nevertheless, it's still a mistake that he made. But then again, Adhara and Evelyn don't need to know.
Suddenly, Rex paused and turned to look at Ryze who was sitting on the side.
He's not going to tell them, right...?
The next day.
Exactly like he had anticipated, he didn't have a wink of sleep as the feline lust only became stronger and peaked right at midnight. It stayed at its zenith for hours until the sun came up, and he could finally breathe in relief again.
He tried to sleep to pass the time, but it was simply impossible.
With the mounting lust inside of him, he became even more feral and struggled to break free.
Thankfully, Ryze was there to help restrain himself.
Knowing of the impending danger as Rex started losing control, even before the arrival of the Hare Moon, Ryze did exactly as he was told and used his claws to wound Rex. This will force his power to focus on the regeneration of his injuries.
It's a way Rex told him to do to make him exhausted.
Since his body was weakened by the chains, Ryze was able to injure him quite easily.
When dawn came, Rex came back to his senses and learned how effective the method was from Ryze as he wasn't able to move from his spot and felt extremely exhausted. But a couple of vials from the System helped him rejuvenate his exhaustion.
Following that, he also noticed a surprising sight.
He was surprised to find that the chains were cracking under his struggling might last night.
It was clear now that he had gotten way stronger from the last time.
Upon making their way back to the encampment, they saw armies were already preparing themselves for another go to the Shifting Realm, taking out the remaining Supernaturals that were hiding there and adopting a hit-and-run strategy.
Both of them met Edward there, and it was obvious that he knew that they had gone out.
Especially with the look he had on his face right now.
