A sense of craze can be seen in both Rex's eyes, taunting the Elders sitting in the room.
Stronger people no matter who they are has an innate pride that is associated with them naturally, these Elders surely have that pride inside of them, and would surely not accept Rex's stance of taking the Executor himself.
It was more than a proposition, the fact that he declared it is a mock to the Elders.
"Maybe you need to tone down your arrogance, Royal Black Prince. Don't associate your view on the likes of Supernaturals that you know with us, this is your first and last warning" Elder Nolacula said with a clenched jaw.
None of them know the full story of Rex's fight against the Supernatural races.
But seeing that Rex brazenly walked inside with big confidence and talk big in front of the Elders shows that the newer generations, the likes of Baralt, Solomon, and Saruth didn't do well against him.
"Arrogance? It's fine if I can prove it, right?" Rex replied with a nasty grin.
Playing with his feet that are on top of the round table, disrespecting the Elders sitting in this room, Rex's eyes then glowed red before his King Mark appeared on his forehead, imbuing his seat with his kingly energy.
Swoosh!
Naturally, the seat he was sitting on was dyed with the blood moon energy.
At the top of the high seat he was sitting on, a sigil appeared in the shape of a crescent blood moon, casting a scarlet mist over his high seat that is heavy with the aroma of blood and the serenity of the moon.
"If he's able to reach here, then he's a Supernatural" Rancaladra suddenly chimed in.
Upon hearing this Rex turns his head towards Rancaladra, a burly figure that has parts of his face covered with blue scales. It was then his eyes glowed, using the system to scan this figure that supported him.
<Rancaladra>
Race: Heavenly Prime Dragonman
Power: Seventh Rank(Peak) - Celestial Stars
Mental: 4,500
Strength: 31,000
Agility: 19,200
Endurance: 27,300
Intelligence: 0
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon seeing Rancaladra's stats, Rex frown as the stats are higher than his.
It's safe to say that before the First Breath happened, this Heavenly Prime Dragonman is as strong if not stronger than Rex. 'So he's the one that I sensed earlier, his scorching aura is the cause of it' he thought with a nod to his head.
To think such an entity exist is quite worrying for Rex.
"No, the Passue is not the judgment of who is a Supernatural and who is not. We are the judge for that, and I don't acknowledge him as a Supernatural, even for a second" Elder Noskear added, her eyes flickered with death energy.
Glancing over to the other side, Rex finds an Undead, monstrous in appearance.
Despite having seen his fair share of Undeads throughout his journey, and even fighting them, he hasn't seen anyone more monstrous than this Undead who is staring at him with an unsettling intensity. She has decayed skin, not so far gone that it was gnarled and twisted, but sunken tightly against her bones.
Above her head was a crown of countless horns, some sort of artifact of power.
Clad in a black robe decorated with numerous antics and deathly pendants, there was no doubt that this Undead is some sort of a Lich that is also turned into a Death Knight, heightening her power higher.
<Noskear Vriktar Nhon'gedh>
Race: Necro Lich - Death Knight
Power: Seventh Rank(Peak) - Soulreaper (3)
Mental: 9,800
Strength: 5,500
Agility: 11,400
Endurance: 6,500
Intelligence: 43,600
Looking at the stats, he was once again surprised that Noskear is also very strong.
Rex's total stats are around 75,000 points in total, and this Noskear is almost matching that. It surprises him to see it first-hand albeit already expecting this kind of thing, the Supernatural Elders are not a joke.
If he has Evelyn by his side, then that would be way better for him.
Evelyn's Luna Presence works really well in this kind of situation when his powers are suppressed, she could be an essential asset in a fight. But surely, he couldn't bring her here in this severely dangerous place.
Not intending to dwell in this conversation, Rex yawned nonchalantly.
"I don't care if you consider me a Supernatural or not, all I care is that you hear my demand. So are you going to test me for it? Or am I wrong to expect more from the so-called Elders of the Supernaturals?" Rex said again, clearly taunting these Elders.
Just then, Elder Tilrith stood up first with her expression contorted in anger, "Of course..."
"Nobody demands anything from us without our acknowledgment. Prepare yourself, Royal Black Prince, you might die from overplaying your hand and coming here recklessly" she added calmly and sweetly before walking out of the Symposium of Upper Divinities.
A moment later, Rex reaches the wasteland outside of Dead Man's Creek.
Rex stands in the middle of the wasteland under the eyes of the Elders as well as the legions of Supernaturals, they are going to watch the battle between him and Elder Tilrith that volunteered to be first.
Standing at the center of the wasteland, Elder Tilrith prepared herself.
"Funny... we were about to make a plan to kill you alongside the Fifthborn. But now here you are, standing in the heart of the enemy's territory, all alone without anyone around" She said across from Rex, chuckling sweetly with her alluring voice. "And for what? A pitiful declaration?"
"Is that supposed to scare me? If you want to kill me, you're welcome to try" Rex replied.
Pointing at the legion of Supernaturals watching with a prideful smirk, he then added, "Just look at your people. While you were slumbering, they come to understand my power. It wouldn't be long before you also adopt their understanding"
Upon hearing this, Elder Tilrith is definitely wrathful yet her demeanor is still calm.
Just from looking at the expressions the legions of Supernaturals are wearing, she could already tell that they were completely terrified by Rex. "It's natural for the weak to fear the strong, and it's up to me to revert them and wipe their fears of you. Who knows? Maybe that 'understanding' will be transferred to you..."
"That's the spirit, come with me with all you got" Rex replied with a wide smile on his face.
It's true that Elder Tilrith's speech may be filled with terror-inducing warnings, yet in his heart, there is not a single trace of fear. Rex's unwavering conviction that he can handle any adversary is the only thing that fills him.
<Sudden Quest!>
Survive the test of the Supernatural Elders!
Quest Reward: 2 Trillion Exp, 5 Million Gold, 10x Nucleus of Supernaturals, and Obstacle of King
Finding that he gained a Sudden Quest from instigating a fight with the Supernatural Elders, the smile on his face blooms even wider. Moreover, the rewards are quite bountiful, foreshadowing that the fight would be quite tough.
But under the circumstances of the world, Rex has absolute confidence in himself.
~
A moment ago, before Rex depart from the castle.
Knowing that Rex is going to crash the Godking Summit where the notorious Supernatural Elders are located, the others were definitely worried and wanted to come with him instead to help if something goes wrong.
In the realm of possibilities of that situation, things could go wrong pretty quickly.
One wrong move then the Supernatural Elders might attack him at the same time, disregarding anything that Rex thought they would do. Due to that, the others were extremely worried.
"Why are you doing this? It's not safe even for you" Adhara asked, her tone very soft.
Following that, Evelyn also added as she could tell that the plan of introducing himself to the Supernatural Elders like this is extremely risky, "Rex, please don't do this. Are you going to make us worry all the time?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"It's not a matter of want, this is a matter of need" Rex replied determinedly.
Even though the sight of those two and even Gistella on the back looking worried like this makes him uneasy as a pang can be felt in his heart, there's nothing he could do, there's no perfect time to do this other than now.
With the Supernatural Elders gathered in one place, it's hard to pass this chance up.
Sighing to himself, Rex then faced the three of them with a smile. Each of their eyes is watery, the opposing forces are too powerful for them to be at ease with him going there by himself and without backup.
"There are three reasons I need to do this, and I can't pass this up," he said.
Raising his fingers, he then continues, "Firstly, I need to make my side clear, giving out recruit to Supernaturals that doesn't want to be involved in the war anymore. Secondly, the Supernatural Elders might get in the way of me beating the Executor, so I need to make a clear stand against them"
"Lastly, it's the most important thing, and there's something I need from that place..."
Despite wanting Rex to stay inside the castle and look for other opportunities in the future, the three girls could already tell that the look he was giving is a stubborn one, he couldn't be dissuaded from this.
In that case, the three decided to give up and didn't pursue any further.
Adhara then stepped forward, looking Rex in the eyes before she asked, "If we can't stop you then tell us this, why are you so confident to face those monsters? Do you plan to die there?"
"Of course, not. Since I don't want you three to worry, then I will tell you the answer. Fighting those Supernatural Elders before the First Breath would be suicide, I know that clearly, I truly do. The Supernaturals seem to be convinced that their Elders could take down the Executor which shows how powerful they are" Rex said, trying to ease the others' minds.
Pausing for a second to smile, he continues, "But with the First Breath, everything changed"
"Like most of my abilities that require a certain level of energy, I couldn't use them properly or at all. Surely, this affects them too, their powers were suppressed the same as mine. Then if our powers are suppressed, the fight would be mostly physical"
Rex noticed this earlier, he couldn't use the stronger skills in his arsenal.
True Werewolf King Blood Physique, Unholy Claws of the Reaper, and Brutal Impulse are out of his reach since each of them needed a very high amount of kingly energy, and would not activate or last long with the suppression of the world.
Upon saying this, a brutal smile then appeared on his face.
"If the fight will be physical..." he said raspingly, a brutal smile appeared on his face, "then there's absolutely no chance for them to beat me. I've never met a Supernatural that could decently utilize hand-to-hand combat or even close-quarter combat, most of them rely on their power"
"Modern humans, before the Supernatural Emergence had no special abilities. We relied on martial arts and fighting techniques to give us an edge over our opponents. I've spent most of my life training my techniques, I trained more than a decade in all kinds of combat styles, and that alone guarantees my victory against them"
Gistella smiled when she heard this, she stepped forward and hold Rex's hands.
"Then if that's the case, promise us that you'll come back safely"
Pausing for a moment to look at Gistella's pearly eyes, he then nodded his head, "I promise."

"Oh, I don't think I should tell you this but I will," Rex said as he went to his battle stance.
Elder Tilrith raised both of her eyebrows in confusion before he then added, "Truly, I don't really care if all of you attack me at the same time. But then again, that wouldn't look good to your people, right?"
"So I suggest when you started losing, back off and avoid the embarrassment"
Although she was trying to keep her calm and graceful demeanor, his arrogant words severe the last thread of Elder Tilrith's patience, "Young people are always arrogant, yet I don't mind it. But you... you, Royal Black Prince. You intrigued me..."
