Chapter 951 A Battle of their Own



Chapter 951 A Battle of their Own

Flunra kept gazing at Evelyn silently from the side with evident excitement.

As the guardian of the Dark Prince in the past, he had to deal with more than the physical threat of someone trying to kill the Dark Prince. He was also tasked to smoothen the Prince's life and take out obstacles that hindered the Prince's growth.

More so than not, the Luna is usually a problem and makes the Prince's growth stagnant.

Some seized the Prince's attention too much and made him weak. Some are overbearing to the point of overshadowing the Dark Prince himself. While some are taking advantage of the Dark Prince to further her own selfish agenda.

It's very hard to find a suitable Luna that would not cause trouble.

A lot of them only wanted to fulfill their heavily selfish desires, slaving the Dark Prince in lust.

Once in a while, the Luna is a good one.

The Luna position for the Dark Prince's pack has been constantly changing all the time, it was not specific to himself, but a normal occurrence to other packs, and it could be caused by a variety of reasons. But the most regular one was the fact that the enemy forces killed the Luna in order to deal a huge blow.

Nevertheless, there were Lunas who reigned for a long time.

Flunra had observed the good Lunas and analyzed their actions so that in the future if something did happen to them, he could be better at finding a replacement. One of her traits was being mature and having a very keen intuition in rooting out threats from enemy forces all the way to threats for her position.

Unlike what the legend has depicted, the Luna position in a pack is not permanent.

It was given to those who could trigger the Alpha's energy, causing a mutation to the moonlight energy inside her body which eventually turned into Luna energy. There are a lot of factors that could cause that, but if other females could overwhelm the Alpha more, then the Luna position would be replaced naturally.

A good Luna should be capable of sensing a threat to her position.

Moreover, she needs to be able to deal with the threat swiftly before the mutation begins.

Due to that, good Luna has always been extremely keen.

Even though in this specific instance, Calidora couldn't naturally replace the Luna position as she's not a Werewolf but a Vampire, she's still a threat to Evelyn's position. It was made clear since she could even steal Evelyn's Luna energy which should be impossible.

Anticipating her loss against Calidora, Flunra has only thought of a replacement.

He even thought of persuading Rex to turn Calidora.

But it seemed Evelyn was starting to wake up, her gaze had been altered with a plan in mind.

Evelyn, on the other hand, was oblivious to what Flunra was thinking. She unconsciously dodged a lethal bullet while dwelling inside her mind. Flunra then bowed slightly and said, "Now I will excuse myself, Lady Adhara, Lady Evelyn, as I need to do something for Lord Rex. Please refrain from going out or doing anything risky while I'm away"

"When will you be back?" Evelyn asked, casting a curious glance.

Flunra shook his head in response, "I don't know, but it won't take too long. A day or two"

"Okay, take some of the Rastrikan Demon Cores and give it to Sir Daniel and Madam Lauren. Be careful, we couldn't afford to lose you too" Adahra nodded and replied, instructing him to deliver the goods to the crucial members of the city.

Upon hearing this, Flunra nodded before he eventually left.

Now that Flunra was gone, Adhara turned to look at Evelyn again. "Explain what you meant"

"Before that, I need to tell you that Calidora stole a portion of my Luna energy already, and she openly told me that she was the cause of Rex going berserk before he departed to you through her manipulations. I underestimated her back then, and now I'm not going to" Evelyn replied, a deep frown on her face.

Adhara was surprised at the news, she couldn't fathom how Calidora could do that.

It's hard to believe that she was able to do that.

Knowing that Rex was completely oblivious to her scheme, saying that his berserk was nothing more than an accident, not fabricated, means that Calidora somehow managed to flawlessly bypass Rex's keen radar.

Tilting her head, Adhara asked, "Why didn't you tell Rex about this?"

"I wanted to win against her without Rex's help. Telling him is admitting defeat to Calidora, and what made us worthy to be by his side if we couldn't win? No matter what, this is our fight. Rex has a battle of his own, and so do we" Evelyn replied resolutely.

Giving the news to Rex would only distract him from the Executor.

Just like he said earlier, he has a higher chance of dying against the Executor if he doesn't do the thing he needs to do with Calidora. There's a chance that telling this to him would make him uncomfortable going to Calidora, and dissuade him from going there altogether.

Evelyn doesn't want that, so this fight against Calidora will be kept a secret.

After relaying that to Adhara, she nodded and continued with her plan. "I thought something was wrong before, but now I know that Calidora is deliberately playing nice, and thus we would look worse in Rex's eyes if we were forceful. So we'll also have to play nice too"

"If we do that, then she will have more chances to get close to Rex" Adhara rebutted.

Upon hearing this, Evelyn shook her head.

Not that she believed what Adhara said was false, she's right, but time heavily favors them.

"Yes, Calidora will have more opportunities to grow closer to Rex. However, time isn't on her side. Their current bond is tethered to the battle against the Executor. Once that chapter concludes, Rex will have no motive to remain by her side. Calidora understands this and relies on us to expedite the development of her relationship with Rex" Evelyn explained, her eyes as lucid as crystal.

Adhara raised one of her brows at this, "Relying on us? How?"

"I told you before, Calidora is openly taunting me knowing that Rex will come to her, hoping that me and you would be against him going anywhere near her even more. But like I said earlier since Calidora is playing overly nice..."

"We would look bad in Rex's eyes!" 

Upon finding that Adhara was catching up, a mischievous grin crossed Evelyn's face.

Even though Evelyn was caught off guard and was manipulated by Calidora, it doesn't mean that she couldn't revel in a battle of wits. It was her daily breakfast back when she was still a part of the Luc Family.

Realizing her scheme, Adhara gasped in realization.

All of this was calculated by Calidora alone. Her desire to have Rex is truly terrifying.

"Okay, if we do that, then Calidora will run out of time. We already openly showed our dislike for Calidora to him, so it would take more time for him to open up. It's a good plan" Adhara nodded, confident that the answer to this problem was to stop and wait.

However, that was not the end of Evelyn's plan, "It's not enough, I want to finish Calidora off"

"Hmm...? You want to kill her?" Adhara asked in puzzlement.

Doing so would only cause more trouble for them, it's not ideal to kill a figure like Calidora.

"After Rex finishes the Executor off, that's when we will deliver the finishing blow-" Evelyn shook her head as her eyes glistened with horrifying malice, she then approached Adhara and leaned over to her ear to whisper something.

Adhara frowned and listened attentively to what Evelyn was saying.

Gradually, her expression softened and by the end of it, her face turned rosy completely.

"Wh- What...? A- Are you being serious?" Adhara asked in utter disbelief.

Evelyn leaned back, her movements nonchalant as she spoke, "It's about time already, and it's the only way to secure our place next to Rex and put an end to the Calidora situation. Naturally, if you're not interested, you can let me take care of it as I'm the Luna, and that's perfectly fine"

"And let you be the closest to Rex? No way! Don't count me out!" Adhara denied.

Despite feeling embarrassed, she will not back out from this.

Upon hearing this resolute choice, Evelyn smiled, "Good, then it's settled then..."

Now that the matter is settled and Adhara is on the same page, Evelyn darted her eyes to the far distance, anticipating the day when she would repay Calidora for the humiliation she endured a couple of nights ago.

'If it's a fight you want then I'll give it to you...' Evelyn pondered, accepting the challenge.

Meanwhile, somewhere dozens of miles away from the Dwarven Kingdom.

Located in the middle of an untamed wilderness is a once-robust citadel, an ancient ruin that has most of its walls crumbled and destroyed. Time-worn ancient stones were veiled in lush gatherings of vibrant mutated moss, ivy, and wildflowers, nature's reclamation of this forsaken stronghold.

Sunlight filtered through the canopy overhead, casting a dappled play of shadows.

Vines climbed the cracked cobblestones, some are mutated and wait for prey to pass, making a traverse into this citadel a dangerous endeavor. However, at this current moment, the entire citadel was shaking a couple of times with loud, crashing sounds echoing throughout its maze-like insides.

A few grunts of a person could be heard, followed by a beastly, thunderous roar.

It seemed a battle had taken place.

Soon enough, the hours-long battle eventually ended and the citadel regained its serenity.

At the center of the citadel is a spacious chamber that is the size of a football stadium, and lying in the middle is a huge bear-like creature with a skull head adorned with dark purple eyeless snakes that already lie in its pool of purple blood.

Most of its body retained dissolving wounds, burned by a lethal poison that caused its death.

Beside this Demon's carcass were two figures.

Rex would instantly recognize the two as none other than Prof. K and Giana.

Upon receiving the perilous Kingdom Quest to eliminate the Minor Chaos Inbried near the treacherous Demon Territory, Rex entrusted this quest to the two of them, fully aware of the elevated risks involved.

Since both are quite strong already, they could definitely handle this quest.

True enough, the two managed to defeat the Minor Chaos Inbrid, suffering minimal injuries.

"Who would've thought that there's a mutated animal hiding here? If not for my element being able to seep into the cracks, we wouldn't be able to locate it and would most likely be ambushed by it. Also, we got very lucky, had it finished its last move, we wouldn't have come out unscathed" Prof. K muttered, taking a seat on the ground as he panted heavily.

It was a ridiculously strong mutated animal.

Even when he turned into his gas form, the mutated animals' attack still reached him.

Giana who was also exhausted nodded in agreement, "Any later and we'll most likely lose"

Not even saying anything, the two agreed to take a breather and recover their stamina again as they would need to bring the Minor Chaos Inbrid's carcass back to the city as per Rex's instruction.

But while resting, Giana looked at the dark sky with a peculiar look.

Looking directly at the moon that was slightly dyed in amber color, "This sensation... I'll never get used to this" She muttered silently, feeling that the moon was rejuvenating her body and helping her heal even faster. She also remembered the sensation she felt not long ago.

It was a burning fury that came out of nowhere.

However, she suspected that it had something to do with Rex back in the city.

"Being a Werewolf is not that bad, but we are really connected emotionally" She mused.

Upon hearing this, Prof. K chuckled as everything also felt surreal to him, "Well, Werewolves are pack-based, so it made sense. Also, the rune Rex engraved on you, I think it's the cause that made you feel more emotional"

"Huh, is that so...?" Giana replied, looking at the glowing rune.

Soon, the two recovered enough and headed back, bringing the carcass with them.
