Finishing the deal he had inside the Symposium of Upper Divinities, Rex walks out and travels along the Dead Man's Creek once again. But compared to earlier, his expression is paler and he seems to be drained to the core.
If anyone were to look at him now, then they might mistake him for a ghost.
It had taken him more than half an hour to go to the Dead Man's Creek earlier, and now his journey out was proving to be even longer and more difficult. He was exhausted, barely able to take a full breath in his panting state, almost as if he were hyperventilating.
Using the trees as a support, he slowly makes his way in the cold and silent night.
Just as he was going through the Dead Man's Creek, his eyes caught sight of creatures gazing at him from the abyss, their bodies moved left and right in a waving manner almost like dancing.
Rex has seen them earlier, and they were the Passues.
Compared to earlier when he first goes through here, the Passues seem to be passive and only watch him from the shroud of darkness. But weirdly, at this mont, there seems to be an oddness in their movents.
It was almost the Passues were uncertain whether they need to attack or not.
Just then, one of the Passues dashed forward and stands right in front of Rex, still moving its body in a wavy manner. At this sight, Rex's heart started thumping rapidly as he knows that he was not a match for this creature.
Even if he's in full power, he would've been obliterated by this Passue.
Leaning forward and tilting its head, the Passue inspect Rex with its one glowing red eye.
'Oh, no... M-My weakened state might not give out the scent of a Supernatural right now, I need to go back to my Werewolf form' Rex thought in worry, he was exhausted of his energy and the Passues might deliberate whether to attack him or not.
Even in his human form, Rex has the scent and energy of a Supernatural.
But at this mont thanks to being exhausted of his energy, the scent was the only thing keeping the Passues in check, and one of them might decide to attack as he doesn't look like an actual Supernatural and instead looks human.
Gritting his teeth, Rex slowly transforms into his Werewolf form.
Knowing the strength behind these Passues, he's better to take the safe route or be sorry.
Crack!
Bulge!
Rex felt transforming into his Werewolf form right now is similar to the first ti he transford, the process is really slow, and the moving of his bones and strengthening of his muscles becos even more vivid to feel.
It forces him to let out a couple of grunts and moans before the transformation finishes.
Panting heavily under the pain that his body is going through right now, Rex looks at the Passue and finds it gone back, slithering into the shadows of the place again, disappearing from his sight.
Breathing easily, he decided to lie prone to the ground to recover his strength first.
"I really shouldn't be torturing myself like this..." he mused to himself.
Just earlier, he asked the System for a teleportation item to leave this place quickly.
But the System told him that the area around the Symposium of Upper Divinities, as well as the Dead Man's Creek, prohibits the use of teleportation. If he wanted to leave through teleportation, then he must leave the Dead Man's Creek first.
Of course, there are so ways to bypass that restriction but it will cost so much more.
Rex, being a calculative person as he is doesn't want to spend more gold for that.
Getting up from the ground once again to find that the wound on his chest is still bleeding, Rex groaned and stands up before he continues his journey. "It's the second ti now, I really need to do sothing about this"
It was not that too long ago that he was in a similar situation such as this.
Now that it's already the second ti already, he will really make Delta stronger and use her as a mount to go anywhere to avoid this kind of situation. "With the corpses, the Elves' brought, that shouldn't be a problem"
While walking through the Dead Man's Creek, Rex stopped when he spotted a figure.
Putting his guard up and instantly forcing himself to stand upright while ignoring his pain, the figure who was leaning on the tree ca out. Upon recognizing the figure, Rex could sigh in relief as she was not an enemy.
"Need a hand...?" she asked.
Rex pauses for a second before he then asked the System, 'Did she get near to earlier?'
