It was in the late afternoon when Rex and Evelyn arrived at the Dark Elf Kingdom.
About half an hour ago, the two received the news of the attack.
Evelyn argued that he shouldn't go to the Dark Elf Kingdom in his state, fearing an ambush that might be placed for him there. Though what she said made sense, Rex didn't heed her and rode Delta to assess the situation.
Since the emissary brought a ssage, it's definitely not a trap, Rex believed.
Upon demounting from Delta, standing in front of the walls of the Dark Elf Kingdom, he reaches out his hand forward in a troubled way. The sky is obscured by a perpetual veil of swirling black ashes, and a pungent acrid sll blown by the wind stung the nostrils.
Rex becos more certain, this is surely the work of Edward's black fire.
"What do you feel, Evelyn...?"
"It's him, alright. But it feels a little bit foreign, his mana that is. Like sothing changed"
Due to his injuries, his senses were not as sharp.
Probably the reason that he didn't sense the attack on the Dark Elf Kingdom is because of that, and he would need to borrow Evelyn's senses for now. A hassle, yet he wanted to know. No, he has to know everything about this.
"But I would say, there's no doubt that this is his doing" Evelyn confird.
A fire of trouble could be seen behind Rex's eyes, he stood there with his fists clenched.
Finding both of his fists clenched, and his shoulders trembling, Evelyn realized that Rex is affected by this. Despite his claims, his adamant assurance of indifference, the fact that his previous friend has turned out like this troubles him.
In response, Evelyn approached him and held his hand tightly to appease his emotions.
Looking over to the Dark Elf Kingdom that was in a ss, Evelyn sighed and recounted the last encounter she had with the supposed 'Friend', "I saw him last in the UWO's headquarters. He looks like a ss, probably due to the guilt he has toward you. I treated him coldly, as I should. But I think he has made up his mind now..."
"And you should also make your mind up too, Rex" She added, encouraging him to be strong.
Rex didn't answer, he only looks up and heads inside the kingdom.
Once a vibrant kingdom full of trees and lives now lay in ruins, evidence of the ferocious black flas that had consud everything. Streets were strewn with burned debris and the cries and coughs of the Dark Elves lingers in the air.
The more he went deeper, the more he started to contemplate.
Where did the Executor gain the information?
How did this happen when even the Supernaturals were not aware of the rebellion?
Why did he choose to attack the Dark Elf Kingdom?
Did he turn Edward into his underling forcefully or was it Edward's free will?
All sorts of questions appeared inside his mind as he traverses through the ruined streets.
Dark Elves that survived the ordeal gazes at the contrast of a pair of red, walking on the street with teary eyes. But their minds were unable to find hope and can only weep for the dead ones and also their destroyed ho.
It sent a shiver to Rex's spine as he abruptly stopped in his tracks.
'Her eyes, I can feel her unconfidence...'
Maybe it was due to the burned kingdom or the fact that he was not a good fit for dealing with such a matter. But when he locked eyes with one of the Dark Elf, he could feel the ember of unconfidence growing behind her pupils.
Almost as if her eyes were saying sothing voiceless that stung Rex's heart.
'What am I hoping for? Even he couldn't beat the Executor...'
That is what Rex grasped from a mont of locking eyes with the innocent Dark Elf.
Sothing that he hasn't experienced first-hand, the doubt that grew on these Dark Elves would definitely sprout a seed in others. It was a huge ntal blow, and at that mont he realized what this ant.
Looking around with a saddened look, Evelyn felt Rex has stopped.
Glancing over her shoulder in response, she finds Rex looking down at the kingdom floor.
It sparks so worry inside of her.
Just when her mouth was about to ask whether he was hurt or not, she suddenly feel Rex's grip becoming stronger, clenching down her hand. It was then, she could see the air around his body start to waver and sway.
No energy ca out of him, but the aura around him becos extrely sharp and dense.
Almost as if his body is burning, steaming the air around him.
Carefully, Evelyn went over to him and hold his shoulder to check on him. But once again, before she can mutter a single word, she was surprised to find Rex's expression was tensed and outright brutal.
