Chapter 1000 Taste of the New Era

Nezera stood rooted on her spot, she was in disbelief at what she had just witnessed.

It was worth mentioning that even Nezera herself knew that she was now in a position way lower than Rex, there was no comparing them. Back then, during the first news of an issue about an Alpha in the human territory, she was in a higher position.

Donning the nobility rank of a Queen, she could destroy Rex in a heartbeat if she wanted.

But now, the complete opposite applies.

Elder Nolacula has mentioned Rex a couple of times in his talk with Solomon.

Although she couldn't hear what they were talking about, and wasn't going to eavesdrop, she could hear Elder Nolacula talking as if Rex was his equal, there was evident respect in the way he talks about Rex.

Just that fact alone shows that he was in an unreachable position.

Out of the old noble families, the Blodirra Family was one of the lowest if not the lowest.

Compared to Elder Nolacula's bloodline, the difference was too much.

So the fact that Rex was considered an equal or at least regarded as a person with power by Elder Nolacula further confirms that Nezera was a pebble compared to him. But now, that very person was surprisingly heeding her daughter's plea.

A shocking scene that caught her off guard.

'I am aware of Calidora's relationship with the Royal Black Prince, albeit a discreet one, but to imagine that she holds a position where her plea is taken into consideration and was even accepted by him exceeds my expectations' Nezera contemplated in astonishment.

Despite what he had done, Nezera thought that Rex simply didn't care.

Like any man in power, having offspring or affairs was not something that they ponder.

But it seems Calidora has managed to engage emotionally with him.

Nezera was spacing out into the voice as she was greatly in shock at the fact that Rex let go of Viscardi who tried to attack him just from Calidora pleading with him to, she didn't realize that Calidora and Rex had their eyes on her.

At the sight of her mother being silent, Calidora nudged her arm a couple of times.

Only then that she blink and snap out of her trance.

"Oh—You have my gratitude Lord Rex, I will bear this benevolence to heart and make sure to pay that in the future" Nezera quickly showed her gratitude, going as much as bowing slightly to show that she was being genuine.

However, Rex waved his hand as he felt uncomfortable seeing Nezera being this courteous.

Despite their positions, she was Calidora's mother.

Since Calidora has his respect for what she did for him, there is no need for Nezera to act like this. "Don't be too stiff in front of me, Queen Nezera. Calidora has helped me a couple of times, so be at ease before me"

"Yes. If that's what you want, then I will do that" Nezera nodded in understanding.

Deep down, she was proud of Calidora.

Casting her gaze downward, she observed Viscardi trembling on the ground, hiding behind her with eyes locked onto Rex with evident fear. Imaging the things he went through sent a shiver down her spine, for it shouldn't have been so easy to reduce Viscardi, an outstanding Vampire of nobility, to such a state.

"Let's go. We'll come back for the Blood Devourer at a more proper time" Nezera whispered.

After saying that, she helped him up and supported him.

Just then, a semblance of Viscardi's intact mind resurfaces, attempting to quell the violent tremors racking his body, yet he can't. He was escorted away by Nezera, and as he neared the entrance to the courtyard, he stole a fleeting glance at Rex.

In that glance, there was malicious intent.

Realizing this glance, Calidora gave him a warning look with her Eyes of Terror.

Despite the extreme luck that he had for coming out of this situation unscathed, considering the ruthless fate met by others for doing less than what he tried to do to Rex, Viscardi still seemed to toy with the very precipice of death and gave this glance to Rex.

It would be wise of him to not instigate Rex any further.

On top of the fact that Viscardi tried to kill him, Rex was also in a shaken mood right now.

Calidora's warning look is a silent message for him to keep looking forward and stay silent until he is in the clear, as Rex was already slightly annoyed by his taunting glance. She had already helped him, so he better be grateful for that.

From the looks of it, a tragedy is bound to happen if he didn't know when to stop.

Even the air around Rex starting to become unfriendly.

Only when Viscardi turned forward that Calidora could breathe easily, the tension instantly lessened greatly. 'Good, nothing happened. I really don't care about Viscardi, but Mother is going to be in trouble if he doesn't come back alive'

Just as she sighed a sigh of relief, her eyes jolted open when a whisper crept to her ears.

"Tch! Had not for that Goddess, a new era brat like him would be nothing to me"

At the sound of this sentence, Calidora raised her gaze.

Shock mixed with disbelief could be seen marring her countenance as Viscardi couldn't stop his mouth from whispering a mock, albeit very light, could be heard by her. If she could hear what he said, then there's no doubt that Rex could hear what he said.

Nezera also cast a shocked look at Viscardi.

Her heart instantly dropped to her stomach when she heard this.

In a stiff manner, Calidora turned to look at Rex and found his expression hideous.

"Stop... Stop right there"

Upon hearing the command, the entire atmosphere turned extremely tense once again, the air became so thick that it felt like it was able to choke a person to death. Rex's words held a strong bearing, capable of stopping Nezera and Viscardi's steps.

Despite wanting to keep on moving, their legs were not listening to them.

"He's a fool, Rex. He doesn't worth your—"

Contrary to earlier, Calidora, despite utilizing the Luna energy she stole from Evelyn to help calm Rex down was met with a raise of his finger, gesturing for her to not say another word, there was no stopping him this time.

Rex strode towards the entrance slowly, his steps thudding against the cobblestone floor.

Every step rings louder than an explosion.

Additionally, his menacing presence, though unseen as both Nezera and Viscardi maintained their forward gazes, bluntly hinted at the awakening of the monster that was now awakened. It was dormant before, but now, it was stirred to life.

Stopping right behind them both, Rex whispers, "Do you have something to say again?"

Upon hearing this, Nezera lightly shook her head, signaling to Viscardi to not say another word or else he would be in bigger trouble. Taking a deep breath, Nezera turned around, about to attempt to be the one to apologize again.

But she could feel the words she was about to say got stuck in her throat.

Rex's bearing tongue tied her mouth.

Looking at Viscardi, who slowly pivoted around, swallowing hard under Rex's piercing gaze, Rex inclined his head, throwing another question laden with veiled menace, "I've heard the brutality of the ancient era and clashed with entities of higher standing than yours from that time. But you... I wonder, do you even know the taste of the new era?"

"How—Wh- What do you mean?" Viscardi stuttered, sweat trailing the side of his face.

Unconsciously, he was backing away out of fear.

Although he said what he said earlier, he was saying that out of spite.

Realizing that he had been reduced to such a state by a mere new era Werewolf wounded his pride, fueling an urge to release his frustration, even if only for a brief moment. But now, he regretted doing that as he found himself cornered against the wall, with no more room to retreat.

At that moment, Rex stood before him and raised his fist.

"No?" He pulled his arm back, poised for a strike, and replied, "Let me give you a direct taste"

Crippled with fear, Viscardi's eyes widen at the sight of Rex slowly turning into his Werewolf form, starting from his arms gaining muscles before his entire body. A gathering of moonlight energy and red force could be seen, illuminating his fist with an otherworldly glow.

In the next fleeting second, Rex's arm moved in a blur as he punched Viscardi in the mouth.

Crack!

Bam!!

Under the force of his punch, Viscardi's head slammed into the wall behind him.

Nezera who was standing directly by him flinched when the loud sound penetrated her ears.

It was an attack that was completely out of his league.

On the other hand, Viscardi tried to defend himself by creating a blood barrier.

Boosted with his Vampiric Eyes of Magnification, the blood barrier becomes even sturdier.

However, it was still not a match for the punch Rex threw as it penetrated through the blood barrier easily and connected with his face. Such brute strength was even capable of splitting open an Elder Vampire's skull.

A web of fractures marred the wall due to the devastating impact.

Accompanying it was a very unsettling requiem of bone cracks and fleshy thuds, painting a vivid image of the extensive harm Viscardi endured from that punch, and also a splash of red that stained the walls like a flower bloom.

Rex's eyes glistened with ferocity as he looked at the sight he caused.

In a slow and collected manner, he pulled his fist away, exposing Viscardi's condition.

Due to the forceful blow that struck Viscardi square in the mouth, his upper jaw was gone, obliterated entirely. Not a single tooth remained, all were swept away. Furthermore, his lower jaw hung precariously by slender threads of flesh, swaying grotesquely.

Eventually, that fragile connection snapped, causing his lower jaw to plummet to the ground.

Viscardi slid to his knees, with eyes opened wide.

Surprisingly, even though the extensive damage he endured was devastating, he was still able to retain his consciousness. A disturbing amount of blood was gauged out of the non-existent mouth as he was utterly destroyed by a single punch.

With a cold look, Rex slowly sinks to a crouch.

"How was it... the taste of the new era, do you like it?" Rex asked fiercely.

Upon hearing this, Viscardi kept his eyes facing the ground, muttering a light inaudible voice.

"Rex..." Recognizing that Viscardi could still survive, Calidora quickly stepped closer and said from behind, persuading him to stop right here. "You don't have much time, and he isn't even close to worth your time. Shall we continue your cultivation?"

Keeping a fixed gaze at Viscardi for another moment, he eventually raised to his feet.

"Get him out of here" Rex said in an icy tone.

Nezera nodded her head repeatedly before she laid her hand on Viscardi's body before both liquified into blood and seeped to the ground, vanishing from the place. It would be best for her to take Viscardi away when she still had the chance.

His idiocy would only serve to push more trouble into her place if he stayed any longer.

After both of them left, Rex turned to face Calidora.

Calidora could see that he still retained some of the anger from earlier, but before she could say anything, Rex already beat her to it. "Say, Calidora... The Blood Devourer, the Origin-grade weapon, is it still with you?"

Upon hearing this, a frown appeared on her face.

'Is that what makes him in this hostile mood? The Blood Devourer?' She wondered.

Eventually, she nodded, the Blood Devourer now in her possession after Solomon briefly wielded it. "Yes, the Blood Devourer is with me. Is the anger you're feeling right now a result of recalling that woman, Rex?"

Knowing who she was referring to, Rex's expression turned grim.

It was still a scar that had recently healed.

"Truth be told, I delayed her from being sacrificed as long as I could, hoping you would reach her first. Unfortunately, you were too late. Don't blame my parents either, without them, she would have been exploited by other Vampires in worse ways"

"However, you can be at ease. It was a swift death. It's her fate as the chosen one, Rex"

"It's hard even for you to defy fate..."
