<Level Up!>
<Obtained 3 Attributable Stats>
Because of finishing the sudden quest before, Rex manages to reach level 23.
He puts his attributable stats to mental, he wanted to invest in his mental stats before upgrading his Alpha Intimidation skill.
The fight with Xoruk is the hardest struggle he experience, many things can go wrong in that fight which will result in their death.
But thankfully, both Kyran and Rex manage to kill the pastor first before Xoruk.
The citizen inside the city hall came out as they saw Rex and Kyran came back, they both are bloodied because of the fight with Xoruk.
All of them sent praises and thank Rex and the others, it was a miracle for them.
After the Warchief's and the Orc guard's death, the other Orc that is attacking the other side of the wall retreated.
They're not foolish enough to still attack even after they lost their Warchief.
While Rex is helping Kyran to walk back to the city hall, he suddenly asks Rex to put him down and leave him alone.
Rex got confused but then he saw Kyran's hands are shaking.
The emotion from killing another human finally came to him, it makes his entire body tremble as he still can feel the knife pierced through the pastor's neck.
"AAARRGHH!!!", Kyran shouted loudly as tears came out of his eyes.
He's looking at his hands and couldn't believe that he just killed a human, he never expected this to happen to him.
Rex looks at Kyran with sorry eyes, 'I know that you want to save all of them, but this is reality. In this era, the one who has power will need to make the difficult decision', he thought.
Although he seems merciless, sometimes Rex also thought of this.
He wondered if he can save everyone but that's just not possible, being a wise person is to choose to save 1000 people rather than 1 person.
Many will despise him but that's just how it is, someone has to make the decision.
Rex then leaves Kyran alone letting him figure things himself, sometimes it's best for him to figure things himself rather than taught to.
Especially this kind of situation, where an internal conflict is going on.
With that, the victory is theirs.
Rex and the others manage to finish their mission even though the mission difficulty is far from expected, 'I can't trust the university's assessment anymore, it's always wrong', he thought.
From the first mission he takes and this mission, both of them almost killed him.
He began to realize that the assessment from the university always misses, so next time he will only take peak rank three mission just to be sure.
As thanks to Rex and the others, the citizen throws a simple party.
They all convey their gratitude from the bottom of their hearts, they even almost decided that the city will owe Rex and the others.
But that proposal got declined by Rex immediately, it's his duty to save the innocents.
Although he's cursed by the system by turning him into a Werewolf, he can't deny that with this he becomes very strong in such a short amount of time.
He can even save thousands of people with the power he has, it's completely unexpected.
If someone told him that in the future he will be a powerful Awakened as well as a Werewolf, he would've laughed to death and cursed that person.
"Are you okay?", Rex asks Adhara.
It's already the next day,
They are all currently in the city hall where the party is held, the SCO member and Kyran are all sitting beside him.
Adhara smiles gently and replied, "I'm fine, I just still hasn't been accustomed to the purple fire"
After confirming that Adhara is fine, Rex tells her to keep training because the future will be even harder than this.
His eyes then darted towards Kyran who is playing with his food.
Just from a glance, Rex knew that Kyran's head is not in this place but somewhere else.
Rex's eyes then fall to the SCO member who is eating quietly, he doesn't have any features that stand out, he's just a normal man.
'I didn't get a chance to see him fight', Rex thought.
Because of the cursed orc before, he never got a chance to see the other wall side. He missed seeing a member of the SCO fighting.
After the simple party, Rex and the others prepared to leave.
But before they left, Rex approach Troy and said, "The three Awakened corpse is still in the house, can I trust you with it?"
Hearing this, Troy nodded his head before Rex tapped his shoulder.
Kyran and Adhara are packing their stuff while Rex is viewing the city's scenery, many people started to rebuild the destroyed buildings.
They all work together, and all of them participate in helping.
While looking at the scenery, Rex saw a big tree on the right side of the city.
Rex didn't notice the big tree before because the Orcs are an immediate problem.
He looks at it with marveling eyes, he can see how big the tree is from afar. It is at least as big as a ten stories building.
Rex is curious about the tree, he then takes a jacket and went out of the room.
"I'm going for a walk, wait here if you guys have already done packing", Rex said before he left the room.
He walks to Troy who is currently commanding the military personnel that survived yesterday, their number already diminish to a measly 18 people.
Troy saw Rex approaching him, "Troy, are you preparing to leave?"
"Yes, our duty here is done and there're many places that need our help", he said, his aura is brimming with the light of a commander.
Hearing this, Rex nodded his head.
"How's the military? anything worth mentioning?", Rex asks, he just asked this to open up a conversation.
Troy signals the others to get in the truck, he then answers, "With our newest discovery, our guns manage to pierce peak rank three Supernatural hard-skin. Now, our unit becomes more effective in the war against Supernatural"
Only Adhara's side got breached because of the big Orc.
Troy nodded his head before Rex asks, "Do you know what's that tree over there?"
Rex points at the big tree on his right, Troy looks in the direction before he said, "The local said that tree becomes that big out of nowhere, they said that anyone that sits under it will meet the Tree's spirit"
Hearing Troy's explanation, Rex got even curious.
He doesn't believe in the Tree's spirit but it still piqued his interest, 'System, are spirit real?', Rex asks nonchalantly, he just asks the system without expecting anything.
<Yes>
Reading the system's answer, Rex widened his eyes in surprise.
'Wait, it's real? I thought it's just folklore brought up by the locals', Rex thought.
But then, he face-palm himself, 'Wait now that I think about it, Supernaturals is also folklore from the people. So it makes sense for spirit to exists'
After knowing that, Rex then decided to visit the tree.
The big tree can already be seen from afar but turns out it is literally quite far from Rex's position.
He then decided to run there, he doesn't forget to text Adhara that he will be checking the big tree before leaving the city.
About fifteen minutes later, Rex arrives at the three.
Fifteen minutes doesn't seem like a lot, but Rex runs there seriously but it still takes him fifteen minutes to get there.
Seeing the tree up close, Rex becomes even more surprised.
The tree is standing tall in front of him, the width of the tree is like four houses stacked together and it's giving Rex a relaxing vibe. There are many branches spread widely covering Rex from the sun, the big tree gives a sense that it will shelter Rex from anything that comes his way.
"What a big tree, is there really a spirit here?", Rex looks around the tree and is fascinated.
The tree is not just big, but the mana around the tree is filled with wood mana that even he feels relaxed.
Wood mana is also a Peak Great Element because it can be used for attacking, defending, and also healing.
Only a couple of people have this element, and they're all powerful Awakened.
Then suddenly, Rex got the urge to touch the big tree.
It comes out of nowhere and he felt that it's the right thing to do, so he did it.
Rex touches the tree and can instantly feel the hardwood that keeps the tree standing strongly, just by touching it Rex knows that he can't possibly do anything to this tree.
It's simply too strong.
But then suddenly,
<The Tree's Spirit wants to give you it's a blessing, will the user accept it?>
Reading this, Rex was shocked but also got even more curious about the tree.
'Will it harm my body?', Rex asks to make sure.
<No>
'Then I'll accept it, let me see what's this blessing is about'
Just after Rex said that the scenery in front of him suddenly change.
The lush green big tree suddenly turned into a fiery tree that is scorching hot, it is a magical tree that turns the tree's leaves into fiery leaves.
Rex didn't expect to see this, he never sees something like this.
Then, the scenery zoomed into the big tree revealing a fiery spirit that resides within.
The fire spirit is a fiery snake with sharp bones sticking out of its back, its two fangs are razor sharp. The fangs are so long that they can pierce Rex's body from top to bottom.
It looks more like a dragon because of the scales all over its body, it looks terrifying, to say the least.
Rex looks at the fire spirit in awe, the fire spirit is currently sleeping inside the fiery trees peacefully when suddenly the tree shook.
The fire spirit inside the fiery tree opened its eyes before it growls menacingly.
Outside of the tree, Rex saw another spirit but this one is a green deer that is attacking the fiery tree vigorously.
With that, both spirit fights.
Their fights create green and red sparks all over the place, their energy itself charred the surrounding. In just a minute, their surrounding got destroyed.
Both spirits wrestle against each other but one can see the green deer is winning.
It rams its horn that glows with green energy towards the snake as it instantly pierced through the snake.
The snake roared as it felt its body got pierced.
Because of that injury, the green deer started to overwhelm the fire snake, and not long after the fiery snake died after getting hit by a green beam from the green deer.
After beating the fire snake, the green deer roared in victory.
Rex saw their fights right in front of his eyes, he saw how the green deer beat the fire snake from start to finish.
The fiery tree suddenly dimmed after the fire snake died, It instantly dimmed as if the fire snake is the tree's life.
The leftover green energy from the green deer filled the place.
It affects its surrounding, the fiery tree becomes lush green trees instantly under the nurture of the green energy from the green deer.
But from the corner of Rex's eyes, he saw the fire snake spit a little fire snake.
It wiggles for a moment before it left the place, it manages to leave the place because of how feeble it becomes from the fierce fire snake.
After seeing this, Rex snapped back to reality.
He looks at the big tree with a different view, and then a notification appeared.
<Blessing of the Tree's Spirit>
The fire snake already embedded the big tree with its fiery core, although the tree looks lush it is actually dying inside because of the nurture of different energy. Find the red snake and bring it to the big tree!
Quest Reward: Fire Serpent Spirit
Reading this, Rex immediately asks the system, 'What is a spirit used for?'
He asks out of curiosity, he felt that a spirit must be a valuable thing but he doesn't know what it's for.
But after waiting for a while, the system didn't answer.
'No matter, I'm certain it's precious', Rex thought.
He then taps on the map that is blinking on the top-right corner of the quest notification, and instantly a map appeared on Rex's view.
Rex looks at the map and he can't help to widened his eyes, 'This...'
