"A pack of Werewolves?!"

Rex exclaimed unable to hide his surprise, but soon he realized what he had just done and quickly collected himself despite still standing. He paces back and forth with a pondering look clearly troubled by the news.

"My apologies, but did you say a pack of Werewolves?"

"Yes, she has just sent a distress signal and said that she\'s being chased by Alpha Werewolves. Giana said that one of the Alphas can even hurt her despite not having ninth-rank power"

Upon hearing this, Rex gazes down before a flash of Arnulf went past his head.

From the description alone there should be no other Werewolf that is capable of doing such a feat without being in the ninth-rank realm alone. Arnulf has lived way longer than the others, and surely he\'s the only one that knows a way to hurt a ninth-rank Awakened.

"Where is their last location, I might have some people that can help her"

"It\'s about fifty miles north of Nuta City, I\'ll send you the approximate location. That part is quite deserted, so it\'s hard to send her back up. If you have someone, then quickly tell them to help Giana as she\'s in deep trouble and we can\'t afford to lose her"

"Okay, sir. Please send the location as soon as possible"

After ending the call Rex immediately headed back to the arena where the others are in, he was just thinking about how they fare against Arnulf and Ruston but now the universe gives him a chance.

With a ninth-rank Awakened at stake, Rex can\'t just sit still and let this happen.

Humanity has just lost one ninth-rank Awakened from the Great Barricade breach alongside an eighth-rank Awakened, so losing another ninth-rank Awakened would motivate the Supernaturals to actually start invading Humanity\'s territory for real.

Right now they are advancing with care, but one less ninth-rank Awakened might changed that.

"Sir, Rex! I\'ve finished preparing your- Where did he go...?"

While pushing a tray cart with all kinds of meals she can prepare from the kitchen storage, the receptionist looks around and finds that the restaurant is empty. There\'s no sign of Rex whatsoever, only the toppled chair where he should be sitting before.

Meanwhile, Rex reached the arena door again.

Trying to open the door, he finds that it\'s locked and can only be opened by the receptionist before or from the others inside. Kyran inside immediately stood up upon hearing a voice inside his head.

It was Rex telling him to open the arena door with an urgent tone.

After opening the arena door he was immediately pushed away by Rex who went instantly to Adhara who is crouching on the ground still in pain from the Absolute Predominance Fangs, she raises her gaze a little and find Rex approaching her.

Rex didn\'t say anything and instantly lifts her up and bites her again on the neck.

But instead of infiltrating her body with the dark energy from the Absolute Predominance Fangs, he sucked the energy back freeing Adhara from the pain that is overwhelming her senses. And right after he did that, Adhara started panting heavily.

Every pain inside her body now has gone, and what\'s left was the fatigue that zapped her.

Before Adhara can even say anything Rex already shoved a rank seventh healing elixir into her mouth forcing her to drink it. While doing this, he glances back at Gistella and finds her still the same.

That move she did still fatigued her entire body and now she\'s still unconscious.

"I thought you were going to let me suffer for at least a day, I didn\'t expect you to be so soft to me", Adhara said teasingly but all she got in reply was Rex\'s stern expression, he\'s not playing around.

Standing up, Rex then said, "Something came up..."

"In short we\'re going to fight the Werewolves we met back in the Delarosa Royal Family\'s territory"

"What?! Why is it so sudden?"

Adhara exclaimed as she didn\'t expect that they would be fighting those Werewolves so soon. The Werewolves they met before were Arnulf and Ruston, and both of them are very powerful so Adhara and even Kyran don\'t understand why they need to fight them this quickly.

"Giana is in trouble, she\'s injured and being chased after by them. Do you understand now?"

Upon hearing the sudden bomb that was dropped on them, Adhara and Kyran don\'t know how to react to such news. It\'s a ninth-rank Awakened after all. Everything that revolves around ninth-rank Awakened is a big deal.

Shutting their mouths, both of them nodded their heads firmly.

Despite their hearts thumping very hard remembering the sheer might of the Werewolves they are about to fight, they have no other choice but to ready their mentality to fight them. If Rex said they were going, then the circumstances should make their departure a must.

If Rex can delay their fight then he definitely would, but since he didn\'t then there must be a reason.

Looking at the tense expression on their faces, Rex who was about to check his phone sighed, "This time will be different, especially with the addition of you Adhara... Just keep your senses sharp there"

After saying that, Rex heard a ringing sound and immediately checked his phone.

Seeing the message from Vargas containing a map with the approximate radius of Giana and her team\'s location, he immediately takes out transferral crystals from the inventory.

"Let\'s go!"

Somewhere in a desolate plain,

Ellen leading the other Silverstar Awakened flying swiftly while darting their eyes left and right in the desolate plain, they are exerting as much mana as they can to increase their speed to the utmost limit.

A couple of pairs of red eyes can be seen stalking them from the back and sides.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Werewolves she gritted her teeth knowing that they have done quite well to be able to escape the Werewolves for an entire day with little to no casualties. It\'s all because of a plan that she devised.

Yesterday, when the sun came up the Werewolves becomes slow including the Alphas.

In that moment of weakening since there is no moonlight energy during the day, Ellen and the other Silverstar Awakened launch a sudden counterattack against the Werewolves. Half of them led by her attacked the Werewolves while the other kept following Giana\'s trails.

From that sudden counterattack, they manage to take down a couple of Werewolves.

Out of the few dozen Werewolves that are chasing after Giana, they manage to kill five of the weaker ones reducing their numbers despite losing ten Awakened in the process. It might\'ve been a loss trade, but for their state, it\'s a great trade.

Ellen wished that she can trade their lives to reduce those Werewolves by that ratio.

After that attack, they rejoin the others in following Giana\'s trails. Two Alphas are way ahead clashing with Giana a couple of times. Thankfully Giana is very resilient and didn\'t want to back down, she managed to fend off the Alphas on her own.

While dashing through the plains, Ellen looks back before her heart sank.

On her back, she saw that the Werewolf emitting suppressing energy alongside the weird Werewolf that doesn\'t seem to be afraid of Giana are right there. Both of the Werewolves are Arnulf and Zegrath.

From this alone, they can conclude that Arnulf is protecting Zegrath at all times.

It\'s a good thing for Giana though since she doesn\'t get attacked by Arnulf directly, but although it\'s good now there\'s no saying when the Werewolves\' patience will run out and Arnulf decided to move.

Since yesterday, they have been escaping non-stop traveling for miles and hiding in many places.

But as if they killed wolf pups, Arnulf and the other Werewolves kept finding them rather easily draining their energy from constantly escaping them while they themselves didn\'t get tired with their superior physical prowess.

While running away from the Werewolves they need to be aware of where they are running to.

Giana probably can sense the direction where many people live but just in case Ellen sent two scouts that will go on ahead and check the area, it minimalized their encountering other parties that might be decimated by the Werewolves.

Every thought process that is going through Ellen\'s mind right now is to save Giana.

Now that it\'s already night again they are having trouble escaping the Werewolves. From the leftover of the Awakened, Ellen has sent three-quarters of them to try and stall time fending off the Werewolves using their extracted silver coming from the outfit.

As if the nightmare keeps increasing, Arnulf has complete immunity to Silver.

The Awakened that was sent there got completely butchered by Arnulf without buying anything more than two seconds. Only less than twenty Awakened are left, and it keeps reducing rapidly. Zegrath decided to send dark energy slashes right at them a moment before.

Under the barrage of the energy slashes shaped like claws, the barrier cracked.

Since they are mind Elementalist on top of sending mind attacks to the Werewolves behind them in the hope to suppress them, they also created a barrier to protect themselves while escaping the Werewolves.

Despite their superior speed, they have gotten slower and a powerful dash will reach them.

With the Werewolves finally chipping down their numbers rapidly, they are currently at death\'s door trying desperately to buy as much time for Giana to not be overwhelmed. But then suddenly, Ellen\'s eyes widened when they saw two Werewolves rolling on the ground passing them.

Ellen\'s eyes widen seeing those Werewolves are the Alphas chasing after Giana.

Although Giana is injured on her legs that shouldn\'t be able to work anymore right now, she\'s still a ninth-rank Awakened which is the strongest being there is currently. It proves to be hard to kill a ninth-rank Awakened.

"Ruston! Ian! You disgraced the Werewolf race!!", Arnulf growled angrily.

p Seeing both of them get knocked away by Giana that is way weaker when they just met, the anger bubbling inside him starting to rampage as he can\'t believe both of them got shrugged away like that.

Hearing this, Ruston and Ian howled as their injuries rapidly recovered.

Clenching the ground with their claws strongly, their animalistic gaze went back to the little dot sparkles which should be Giana\'s figure trying to run away. But when they wanted to catch after her again, they heard Arnulf roar once again.

"Protect the Prince, I\'ll take her down myself!!"

Swoosh!!

With nothing but a leap, Arnulf managed to jump over Ellen and the other Awakened.

Upon seeing this Ellen can\'t help but muster every mana that she has right now and gathers them in her brain, her eyes then glow grey before she gazes at Arnulf in the sky, "Ultimate Mind Spell, Force Break!"

Just after she chanted that, her eyes glows even brighter.

Two mind wave was sent straight to Arnulf who doesn\'t sense this attack, but when the mind wave hits his body stiffen. Ellen tries to hold on but Arnulf glanced down at her and in the next second,

Burst!

Ellen vomited blood alongside her eyes that started bleeding profusely.

"Leader Ellen!"

"You can\'t use that spell yet, it can only be used by an eighth rank Awakened!"

"If you use that again, you will not be able to keep up and will get butchered by the Werewolves. Don\'t do anything reckless, we still need you!"

"But I have to!"

An Awakened on her side is worried seeing the blood that came out of her mouth that is not a small amount, but Ellen shouted back as she can tell that Giana is slowing down. If Arnulf reaches her then she might get captured and killed.

Despite her insides all riled up and her eyes bleeding, Ellen looks up and finds Arnulf disappeared.

KABOOM!!

Ellen and the other Awakened heard a powerful booming sound that sounds like a nuke exploding from their front, their eyes were attracted to the front, and finds a figure shot to the side before crumbling a mountain five miles on the right.

Upon seeing the figure that followed after, they realized that it was Arnulf!

"L-LADY GIANA!!"

With a burst of power, Ellen fixated her eyes on Arnulf that is in her line of vision before she forcefully chanted once more, "U-Ultimate Mind Spell, Force Break!"

Linking herself once again with Arnulf, she can feel her entire body crumbling apart.

Arnulf\'s mind is as sturdy as a rock that can\'t be broken with anything less than another rock, but Ellen is only a drop of water and she can\'t possibly break his mind from just two strikes. It\'s practically impossible.

But with sheer willpower, Ellen held on as she falls to her knees.

Upon seeing their leader falls to her knees unable to continue running, the other Awakened also stopped before they all created a circle around her while Ellen kept delaying Arnulf that stopped because of the Ultimate spell she cast.

It\'s working for a couple of seconds, but that is as far as it goes.

Roar!!

A ground-shaking roar reverberated to the surrounding, Arnulf roared powerfully destroying the spell Ellen cast instantly before resuming his way to Giana that got planted into the mountain.

But the blowback is not a small matter for Ellen,

"Huaakh!"

Creating a pool of blood under her knees, Ellen\'s eyes dimmed slightly before falling down face first. It seems she was exhausted of mana and her body was already reduced to the point of nearing death. She will not able to stand again.

With the view of the mountain where Lady Giana crashed into, she saw Arnulf go there.

It\'s a bit blurry since her consciousness is fading away, her heart is still burning intending to help but there\'s no response from her own body, "L-Lady... G-Giana-"

Just as she was about to pass out, her eyes caught a couple of silhouettes appeared.

Four of them to be exact.

These silhouettes appeared above the mountain before one of them strikes Arnulf sending him crashing away almost nearing her. It seems they are reinforcement that was sent by the UWO, but her mind is shattered and she can\'t think.

Slowly her vision turns dark, her consciousness is leaving her. But the last thing she heard was a powerful howl, the howl of a Werewolf that shouldn\'t come from Arnulf.

\'Another Werewolf, I hope Lady Giana survived this...\'
