"Yes, the Tigerman race managed to find out about the Oath Pact. Our Kingdom and the Dwarf Kingdom are currently isolating the Tigerman race, if one of them managed to slip and escape the high-rank Supernatural races are going to find out about this" Fylson explained with a worried tone.
It doesn't need to be said what would happen if the high-rank Supernatural races find out.
Rex knows exactly that the high-rank Supernatural races would not tolerate this rebellion and will strike quickly before the humans find out, especially when the humans are pushing on their borders, forcing a fight.
Some of the low-rank Supernaturals wanted to be free, but some are still a loyalist.
'I don't need the Supernatural races' attention towards me when I need to focus on saving Kyran. Since the Dark Elf Kingdom and the Dwarf Kingdom are near my castle, there's a chance that my location would be exposed' Rex thought with a frown, he doesn't need more trouble knocking on his doors.
As of this moment, he's quite in a favorable spot to save Kyran.
Humans are busy pushing the borders of the Supernatural territory from the reclaimed Demon Stronghold, leaving the other stronghold that is guarded by Brigitta less fortified. On top of that, the Supernatural's attention was on their borders and King Oddity's condition.
With their attentions divided, Rex can do whatever he planned without worries.
But if the Oath Pact is exposed and some high-rank Supernaturals came here to strike the rebellion, that advantage that Rex has would vanish instantly. 'Maybe they'll send an emissary, a seventh rank or possibly higher. They can fight the first wave easily, but what about the next wave? It won't stop just there' Rex thought, the situation is surely troubling.
Out of the options, there's only one move that he can make. Destroy the Tigerman race.
Rex was not going to hide anymore and detach himself from the world, he was now going to be an active force. No matter who stands in his way to becoming a prominent third force, he would destroy them all without much thought.
"How strong are the Tigerman race?" Rex asked nonchalantly.
Fylson didn't waste no time and instantly answered, "Their King is nearly as strong as King Jorik"
Upon hearing this Rex was quite surprised as he didn't expect the Tigerman King to be this strong, he has never heard of the Tigerman race so he thought that it would be easy to dispose of them.
If it were up to him then it's going to be easy, but he can't use his power too much.
With the main goal of staying hidden from the Supernatural and Humans forces, using his kingly energy that has reached a higher realm after reaching the first ascension would defeat the main goal and the purpose of destroying the Tigerman race.
But if the Tigerman King is that strong, he doesn't know who to send anymore.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFlunra and Gistella are able to take down early eighth-rank realm entities, anything higher than that would put them at a risk that Rex is not willing to take. As he was thinking, he remembered something, "When will your kingdom and the Dwarf Kingdom can gather an army to attack the Tigerman Race?"
"Our army is always ready, they are sieging the Tigerman race as we speak" Fylson replied firmly.
Rex nodded his head in confidence before he glanced at Flunra, he then signals for Flunra to come to his front. Without any question, Flunra did exactly as he was told before he went on his knee out of respect.
'I don't want to do this before, but I think he earned it now' Rex thought and nodded inwardly.
Since Flunra was turned into one of his pack members due to Rex wanting to punish him for the sins he committed, he also decided not to let Flunra have any Werewolf form so that he can stay in his human form and suffer the humiliation.
It can be done by blocking his bloodline, he can't naturally evolve anymore.
From the moment Rex reaches the High Werewolf bloodline, he can turn someone into a Werewolf.
Not a half-Werewolf but straight to Werewolf, and when he reaches the Royal Black Werewolf bloodline he's able to alternate whether he wanted the said person to be a half-Werewolf or a Werewolf.
But even though he can do that, he was forced to turn Flunra into a Werewolf.Rex finds it hard to regress his bloodline to half-Werewolf as Flunra is very strong back then, but still, he is not able to turn into any Werewolf form right now due to the blockage in his bloodline. Now he has a change of heart.
Contrary to his expectation, Flunra keeps on proving himself again and again.
Although Rex has never said it out loud he's starting to feel that turning Flurna into one of the Silverstar Pack members is the right choice, and now he's proven enough to let Rex finally see him in a new light.
Out of the others, Flunra is more like an advisor for Rex. Someone that he doesn't know needed.
Rex looks at the kneeling Flunra before he smiled, "I know that I want you to stay in this human form to make you suffer, but you have proven yourself enough. Now, I'll let you have your Werewolf form back in exchange you will settle the Tigerman race..."
"Yes, Alpha" Flunra replied and bowed his head deeper.
With that Rex points his hand towards Flunra under the look of the others, a weird black energy then slowly reaches out of the palm of his hand and onto Flunra's temple. Like a stream of dark energy, the black energy slowly imbues Flunra's body.
Most of the Dark Elves have their eyes glued to this scene, they are curious about what Rex is doing.
Soon the black energy streams inside Flunra's veins and destroy the blockage that stopped him from evolving, and then a popping sound can be heard. Instantly after that, Flunra's eyes widened feeling something within his body change.
It feels like there was an invisible chain weighing him down breaking and finally setting his body free.
Flunra can't explain the feeling he's feeling right now but he feels rejuvenated, it's like he was being reborn anew, a caterpillar that reached adulthood and turn into a butterfly. But that sensation changed quickly when the red kingly energy presses onto him.
"Grrghh!!" he grunted while gripping the floor with his sharp fingernails.
Although his voice is already heavy earlier, it became heavier as Rex pour more kingly energy into him. Promptly, the heavy tone turned into a glamorous growl that of a feral animal that can strike fear in the Dark Elves that heard this.
None of them can take their eyes away as Flunra can be seen changing.
<Flunra is asking the user for permission to evolve, does the user allow him to evolve?>
'Yes' Rex replied before he stopped feeding Flunra with his black energy.
It was the innate energy that comes with the Royal Black Werewolf bloodline, Rex can't use too much of it as his body only store a little and only naturally emits it out which helps the other to evolve into a higher-ranked bloodline from just being near him.
But since Flunra is blocked but has sufficient energy to evolve, he only needed a little boost.
"Inform your forces that are sieging the Tigerman race to prepare for an attack, my associate here, Flunra would help in razing down the Tigerman race. What do you think, Fylson? Will he suffice in taking down the Tigerman race's leader?" Rex asked while crossing his leg.
Fylson stutters for a brief moment, he looks at Flunra that is still transforming.
Although Flunra was still transforming, the power and energy emitted can already make Fylson and the other Dark Elves' blood run cold. None of them can't believe that Rex can make Flunra this much stronger from a simple act.
Each one of them started to praise King Jorik's decision in allying with the Silverstar Pack.
"Y-Yes, I-I believe he will definitely s-suffice in helping us take down the Tigerman race" Fylson finally force out the words. Even though he said that politely, his mind has other things to say, 'Suffice...? I think Flunra would obliterate him!'

Somewhere inside the Supernatural territory.
As the sky got obscured by got with only the illumination from the moon and stars, a huge rocky landscape was glowing more brightly than ever. Most of the surface of the ground is covered by red-orangish grass that is swayed by the cold wind of the night.
Mutated plants and trees can be seen beside a river stream that reflects the moon beautifully.
In response to the darkened night these mutated plants, trees, and grass glowed their respective identical colors and shines the entire place. All kinds of small mutated nightlives can be seen running along the river, doing the cycle of nature.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut they instantly escape when the ground rumbles and the crystal clear river dyed red.
On the other side of the place, there's a fight happening between two different races. From a glance, the two clashing forces are numbering in the thousands and they all are fighting fiercely, swinging and hacking at their enemies.
Both forces should be Supernaturals, their appearance reflects that clearly.
One side consists of short humanoid-looking creatures with long beards and leather armor, their lack of height and reach was substituted with their thick and muscular bodies that extort immense force with a swing of their hammers.
Clad in leather armor, these creatures are definitely the Dwarves.
Most of them choose hammers as their weapons of war, some of the Dwarves are riding mutated bears that are many times the size of their bodies, and the youngest ones of them all also have long and thick beards.
Against them were creatures that are way taller and also muscular than the Dwarves.
Standing straight and has claws, these creatures are the Tigermen. Each of them has fangs that can easily tear through any metal, they can run like a human or even on four interchangeably. Orange with dark stripes is the color of their furs, and they utilize nothing but their claws as weapons.
Despite not being heavily armored, these Tigermen are trained for combat and are fierce fighters.
One of the Tigermen that stood out is a figure that has white furs and dark stripes, he has full steel armor covering his muscular body and his eyes are sharp yellow. Looking at the other side from the back, his eyes landed on a Dwarf that is riding a mutated fiery bear.
"SKARMDAL!!" the white Tigerman roared fiercely at the dwarf.
Upon hearing this fearsome roar, the Dwarf riding a mutated fiery bear called Skarmdal looks at him with a frown. "Rotten traitor! I know you are not to be trusted! No matter what, by the end of this fight I will spread what your traitorous kind did!!"
As he roared that, the white Tigerman's body glowed fiercely with steaming yellow energy.
It was the yellow force, the white Tigerman is able to use yellow force. On top of that, his body also becomes bigger as the ground cracks underneath his feet due to the pressure he's emitting, showing that he's a seventh-rank realm fearsome warrior.
Skarmdal saw this before he sneered, he didn't even bother to reply.
Without pausing, Skarmdal jumps down from the mutated fiery bear before he slammed both of his hands onto the ground. Dark brown energy generated on Skarmdal's arms shot into the ground before the ground started to shake uncontrollably.
Under the white Tigerman, a two-mile-long wall of earth burst from the ground.
Looking up to Skarmdal that is standing at the very top of the wall with his arms crossed, the white Tigerman saw Skarmdal smiling hauntingly, "I'll see you try, Duntu!! Let's see whether you can hold that bold words of yours!"
ROAR!!
