Soon enough a loud siren reverberated inside the entire building, showing a case of emergency.

People in office attire tore through the hallways like a stampede, their faces etched with panic and urgency from the piercing siren blaring through the air. Working quickly, they scurried to their stations, their hands furiously tapping away at the tablets, their phones glued to their ears as they relayed information and instructions to the other divisions about the emergency at hand.

Following the panic that overflow the office, Edward and Giana were surprised and also confused.

"What\'s happening...?" Edward mutters whisperingly while looking around the chaotic situation.

Giana also frowned, there were only a few emergencies that would ring a siren in the UWO Main Office like this. It must be an emergency of the highest degree. Quickly, she grabbed one of the workers whose face is pale as a white sheet, "What\'s the emergency?"

Flustered realizing that it was Giana that pulled him, the man stutters but showed his tablet.

"A Bl-Black Grade threat has appeared by the Great Barricade, the Supernatural Radar that has been installed o-on the Great Barricade picked this up. It comes from Lady Brigitta\'s section, and from the footage, we can conclude the attacker is" the man explained.

Upon seeing the playing footage on the tablet, Giana sucked in a cold breath.

Edward that saw the change in Giana\'s expression quickly went over to look at the footage, and when he saw the indomitable creature that can be seen on the tablet he also sucked in a cold breath. "I-It\'s Rex..."

Realizing this, Giana lets the man go before he quickly scurries away.

For a moment there, both of their minds and bodies paused as their thoughts were only fixed on the footage that they had seen. Something that they clearly were not expecting, especially as both of them had just talked about Brigitta doing the right thing.

"If Brigitta really did the right thing, what is he doing here?!" Edward exclaimed angrily.

Knowing that Rex, the person that he still considers his dear friend is basically done with humanity ever since that tragedy, there must be a big reason for him to confront humanity like this. And it\'s definitely not about taking revenge on Giana.

Although he swears the take revenge on Giana, he would definitely not do it like this.

Even though technically he has the power to blister through the entire humanity territory and slaughter his way to reach Giana, he wouldn\'t do that as Rex is too calculative and careful of a person and would definitely not decide on such reckless behavior.

Edward knows this clearly, so there must be another reason for his visit to the Great Barricade.

Just as confused as Edward, Giana\'s body went stiff as she looks at the space in front of her whilst her eyes turn blurry. \'A big enough reason for him to come here is definitely about Kyran. Did Brigitta just lie to me? No, I don\'t think so. I know her for a long time and can tell if she\'s lying to me, then why did Rex come here?\'

Many questions popped into her mind, trying to figure out the reason behind Rex\'s action.

But she can\'t find the answers to those questions, she can\'t simply know what to believe anymore. "It must be about Kyran! Lady Brigitta lied to you, she doesn\'t do the right thing!! If she did, then Rex wouldn\'t be here" Edward exclaimed again from the side.

Knowing that it was wrong for him to trust Giana and Brigitta, Edward looks down grimly.

"My only reason for staying here and under watch was because I want to pull Rex back to humanity, and you promised me that. But this will only make him farther away from humanity, you broke your promise" Edward mutters with a rasping tone, he was angry at Giana and more importantly disappointed in himself for trusting her.

If he can\'t rely on anyone else, then there\'s nothing more but to put matters into his own hands.

Just as Edward was about to walk away intending to head over to the Great Barricade, even if the chance of him getting there in time is slim, his arm was held by Giana, "Let me go, I\'m going to save my friend myself"

"Stop, I know how you felt but I\'m not lying. Brigitta is not lying" Giana said with a firm tone.

Edward turns back and flicks her hand away out of sheer frustration and anger, "If neither of you is lying, then what reason can Rex have to possibly come to the Great Barricade?!" he shouted, his tone depicting clearly what he was feeling right now.

But Giana didn\'t mind him, she found a possible reason that might explain this misunderstanding.

"I can vouch for Brigitta that she was not lying when she said she did the right thing, I\'ve known her long enough to know that she was telling the truth. I also agree that it\'s likely that Rex came knocking on our territory because of Kyran, there\'s no other reason aside from that. So what if... what if Kyran never reached back to Rex?" Giana mutters, exposing her plausible suspicion.

Upon hearing this, Edward also feels a click rings inside his mind. It froze his thought for a second.

Slowly looking at Giana\'s doubtful eyes, Edward then mutters in a slow surprised voice, "Wait... you mean Kyran was taken by others when he was released by Brigitta? But if that\'s true, who could\'ve done that? I don\'t see the Supernaturals making that kind of move with the situation they are in"

"I don\'t know... But just trust me on this, Brigitta is not lying" Giana replied convincingly.

As Edward gazed upon Giana\'s look of determination, he knew that he had no choice but to trust her. Though he wished he could take action, he was in no position to do so. He was still too weak and vulnerable. He knew he had much work to do if he wanted to increase his strength by attaining a higher realm, and eventually, being capable of doing something on his own.

Edward slumps down onto the concrete, defeated, and stares at the fissure on the floor.

"If Kyran really did go missing, the only lead we have is Brigitta. And the chance of her noticing something is slim..." Edward mutters, he clenched both of his knees with his hands still regretting not doing more to stop Zero from commencing that tragedy. If he did, then none of this would\'ve happened.

But contrasting to Edward\'s negative thoughts, Giana\'s eyes sparkled with positivity.

In stark of the pessimistic musings, Giana was filled with optimism. Her eyes gleam with positivity.

\'No...this might just be a good thing. If Rex comprehends that Kyran is not being held captive by us, it may be the beginning of the turning point. It might not be much, but it could be what we need to begin to fix our relations and repair the harm I caused\' Giana reflected, her gaze fixed on the far distance.

As she was thinking that, a gushing invisible force hits her, and she can feel it on her skin and soul.

Edward who is drowning in a sea of regret glances up in surprise too when he felt the strange sensation come over him. He makes eye contact with Giana, and both of them hear the sound of glass breaking from a far distance that seems to penetrate their hearts.

Giana felt a sense of despair weigh her down, feeling oddly real yet surreal all at once.

"It comes from the Great Barricade..." She mutters silently.

Due to her ninth-rank realm senses that cover a large area, she could feel the destructive force emanating from the Great Barricade that surpassed her wildest expectations. It was definitely coming from the same place that Rex was located.

But then her eyes jolted open in realization, he remembered that Orson was there with Brigitta.

Realizing that fact, Giana gritted her teeth knowing that with Orson there, something must\'ve gone wrong because of him. "Oh, no... I think Brigitta is forced to fight Rex because of Orson!" she exclaimed before she quickly dashed out of the building.

Edward was left in the dust as she blitzes out of the building in a blink of an eye.

Upon reaching outside of the UWO Main Office building, a pair of elegant and majestic wings sprouted from her back before she immediately pierces the sky, traversing for countless miles in a few seconds, exposing the full extent of a ninth-rank realm Awakened\'s power.

A moment later, Giana is flying in the sky at blazing-fast speed.

Countless blurry landscape was passed in a few seconds, like riding a bullet train and looking out of the window. But despite the speed she was at right now, her mind can see every little detail below her due to the faster processes achieved by reaching the ninth-rank realm.

In her mind right now was the problem regarding Rex at the Great Barricade right now.

President Sebrof has commenced a mission for the entire human forces to advance forward and attack the Supernaturals in the hope of breaking the seal and awakening the Executor, buried inside the Carabidis Temple. It was the ultimate goal of current humanity.

Under his command, Denzel was deployed to push into Supernatural territory.

Alongside the Cessation Knights that are the elites of the Elpida Alliance, they are forcing a fight against Supernaturals. But the Supernaturals caught their intention, and work on a counter and avoid this forceful fight.

Everyone under humanity\'s banner was focused on this sole mission.

Giana and Brigitta were not an exception, but they already discussed this with Edward and came to the conclusion that they were not going to force a fight with Rex to awaken the Executor because it would worsen the relationship they have that is already broken.

It was done in the hope Edward\'s desire to pull Rex back can be achieved.

But that is a motive only the three of them shared, four if they include Ryze that is loyal to Edward. Orson was not a part of that, and his mind was only fueled by the desire to force a fight and awaken the Executor no matter who he was up against.

With Orson there, Brigitta might be forced to fight Rex if she doesn\'t want to be called a traitor.

Something that Giana feared and probably already happened, judging that this imminent ruination inside her heart definitely comes from the awakening of the Executor. Now she can only hope that it hasn\'t gone beyond repair.

\'Against the Executor, Rex might actually die...\' Giana thought while flying.

Giana then reaches for the center of her chest with her hand, feeling the throbbing sensation in her heart, \'If he dies then that would eliminate a big problem for me. But why... why do I feel uneasy thinking about him dying. Is it because I feel like his broken path was caused by me? Is it because of guilt?\'

Maybe because of her heightening sense, fearing what waited for her in the Great Barricade.

Her mind started trailing down a complex part that makes her dazed in the middle of flying in the sky, she realized many things in this moment of going to the Great Barricade. But then she dozed out of her thought when she saw a weird scene.

Stopping abruptly in the sky, she saw the forest beneath her emitting a weird stench.

Although she was in a hurry, she takes a few seconds to drop down from the sky and landed in the middle of the thick forest. But as soon as she landed on the ground, she realized that this weird stench was the stench of corpses.

Giana can\'t mistake this smell anymore, it\'s already imprinted inside her mind.

Looking to the side she caught sight of a corpse, a human corpse that has been cut in half and mutilated into a horrifying state. A frown appeared as she approached the corpse,  \'A human corpse...? Supernaturals have been completely exterminated from the human territory, the Great Barricade is also protecting strongly, who could\'ve done such a depraved thing?\'

Feeling something is fishy here, Giana looks around and finds more corpses.

Many corpses are scattered around, but the weird thing is there\'s no hint of blood on them. It was as if they were completely drained of their blood, something a Supernatural would do but that is just impossible right now.

Deciding to follow the trail of corpses, she stopped at the entrance of a humble village.

Probably a level four city due to how undeveloped they are, but her eyes completely widened when she realized the state of the village in front of her, "What in the world? How come nobody noticed this, and who could be behind all of this...?"
