Duncan looks outside of the mansion and saw two people standing on his lawn.
Both of these people are someone he instantly recognizes without even the slightest bit of doubt, how can he mistake Adhara and Kyran who are basically the boss of the Platchi Family.
Knowing Adhara, he's not worried about her but he's more worried about Kyran instead.
The sizzling dark aura surrounding his body like a veil of absolute darkness made him look like the god of death itself, the black spear in his hand is like the tool of death. Even the grim reaper will probably tuck tail seeing Kyran's eyes that are as cold as a lunatic.
Although Kyran is only a kid, Duncan has never treated him like a kid.
Not with those kinds of eyes that are emitting killing intent, the eyes of someone that has killed not just one or two people. The sight makes Duncan's throat dry as he gulps harshly.
Looking back at his wife, Duncan then said, "Adhara and Kyran are outside..."
Just like how Duncan reacted, his wife also widen her eyes with a hint of terror clearly seen in her eyes. The night when Rex came to their mansion and absolutely beat them to submission with nothing but his bearing alone is still engraved in her mind.
"What are they doing here... are they here for your report?", Duncan's wife asks biting her fingers.
Duncan's expression turns serious, he took the suit on the hanger stand before he opens the door and walks out. Giving Adhara and Kyran the most polite smile that he has ever used, Duncan then approaches the two of them.
Someone who has absolutely no knowledge about body language can feel the submissive aura.
For someone as powerful as the head family of one of the families in the 25 Golden Crest, Duncan's round body that makes his frame looks small show that the opposing side is more dominant. Adhara and Kyran look at him approaching them in silence.
Rubbing his hands nervously, Duncan then asks, "Lady Adhara, Sir Kyran..."
"If this is about the report of the business I gave, please be considerate. It hasn't been a month since our takeover of the Atkins Family's business, our workers are adjusting to the business and will be stable in a couple of months"
"Of course, our earnings from the business got reduced from the change in management"
"Give me time and I will definitely handle it, I hope you understand..."
Hearing this, Kyran raises one of his eyebrows looking at Duncan in silence. This made Duncan even more nervous but after a brief pause Adhara finally said, "No need to worry Duncan, we're not here regarding that matter"
"We're here for your wife, get her out right now and follow us willingly", Kyran added coldly.
From the lazy and rushing tone that he's using, it's clear that he doesn't want to be here for too long. All he can think about is joining Evelyn and Gistella that are in Eqosa City preparing for their first transformation.
Duncan was stunned, he looks at Adhara and Kyran in confusion, "M-My wife...?"
"Yes, your wife. We're going to take her somewhere, so tell her to wear something comfortable and be quick", Kyran replied, he then stabbed the black spear on the ground beside him before crossing his arms in front of him.
But this made Duncan even more hesitant, "W-What matter that implicates my wife?"
"Is it the black sheep symbol that Rex engraved on her? Can you at least tell me where you're taking her and what are you going to do with her?", he remembered that night when Rex visited them.
Rex said something about being good to Adhara and Kyran but doesn't say why he must do that.
Hearing this, Kyran taps his feet showing his patience that is running out. Adhara sighs seeing how Kyran is acting, she then replied trying to assure Duncan that his wife will not be harmed, "When the sun is up, we're going to return your wife"
"Don't worry, we're not going to harm or do anything to your wife", she added.
Before Duncan can reply, Kyran added from the side making his dark energy becomes even fiercer, "If you're stalling time then I might do something to her, so hurry up and bring her here"
Duncan looks at their expressions and finds that he has no other choice.
Looking at this, Duncan finally comply and went back inside the mansion. After two minutes or so he came out with his wife that has a ghostly pale expression wearing a decent black dress, but this, in turn, made her pale expression stands out.
"Mrs. Platchi, come with us and wear this", Adhara said before giving her a blindfold.
Although hesitantly, Duncan's wife looks at Duncan and saw him nodding his head. Both of them hold their hands together fearing that this day will be the last time they met. Duncan's wife then finally looks at Adhara and takes the blindfold.
Under Adhara's gaze, she wore the blindfold that turns out to not be a regular blindfold.
Not only does the blindfold cover her eyes just like any blindfold would do, but it's more than just covering her eyes. She literally feels that she went blind, she can't move her eyesockets to open her eyes creating a sense of panic.
But fearing she might offend Kyran and Adhara, she tries to calm herself down.
Adhara grabs Duncan's wife's hand before leading her to Kyran's side, "Hold her for a moment", she said signaling to Kyran to hold her hand. Kyran is unwilling but he complies without complaining.
With that, Adhara opens the bag on Kyran's back before taking an item from it.
She takes out a black pouch from the bag before she looks at Duncan who is looking at his wife in worry, she then tosses the black pouch to Duncan before she explained, "Rex wants you and Maurice to tear your assimilated spirit and changed it into a new one, all of the things needed for the process is inside that black pouch"
"Consider this a reward for your management in running the business, and also to show you that we're not intending to harm your wife. We just need her presence for something"
Hearing this, Duncan opens the black pouch and finds several vials and crystals inside of it.
After saying that to Duncan, Adhar takes Duncan's wife's hand again before the three of them disappear from the place leaving Duncan standing in front of his mansion alone. He looks at where the three of them head with a frown, "Just what do they need her for...?"
Meanwhile, Secret Passageway of the Undead.
Under the black maple tree,
Edward is currently sitting in the darkness of the secret passageway with nothing but a light orb beside him, he looks to the side when he hears a light growling sound that makes his skin crawls.
Just like as he was instructed, Evelyn and Gistella are here with him.
They are currently chained by the Chains of Anti-Werewolf that Edward already stabbed into their bodies. At first, they are groaning in pain since the chains are made of silver, but as time passes by their groans turn into growling sounds instead.
"I-I'm scared...", Evelyn utters very lightly with the stabbing point on her body steaming.
Upon hearing this, Edward glance at her and finds her looking down to the ground making her blazing red hair falls down covering her face. He feels sorry for her but what's done is done.
"Don't worry, even Kyran has overcome this so you definitely can too", Edward replied reassuringly.
Hearing this, Evelyn raises her head to see Edward.
Edward was surprised to see the piercing glowing yellow eyes that Evelyn's eyes has turned into, even the human fangs that she had got longer poking out of her mouth. The full moon is only a couple of hours left, it's slowly igniting Evelyn's bloodline.
"Does it looks really bad...?", Evelyn mutters.
This snapped Edward out of his daze since he was surprised to see the changes in Evelyn's appearance, he is unconsciously stunned while still looking at Evelyn's face which has turned inhuman.
Giving a wry smile, Edward then replied, "It's alright... you're oka-"
Before he can finish his sentence, Evelyn's body jolted as she suddenly tries to lunge at Edward but got held by the sizzling chains wrapping around her body. Edward stumbles to the side in surprise seeing Evelyn glaring at him.
It seems the full moon has slowly taken over her mind forcing her to attack him.
Thankfully the chains manage to hold her back, the skin around her neck starting to corrode from the chains wrapping on her neck. But at the same time, her body's regenerative ability fights back the corrosion from the silver chains.
"Raarghh!!", Evelyn shouted feeling the chains zap her out of her strength.
Evelyn falls down to her knees feeling the energy within her got stolen away, she then snapped back to her senses realizing that she just tried to attack Edward.
With her meek voice, Evelyn then said, "You should step away a little bit more..."
"There's no need for that, no matter how fierce you become just know that I'm right here. And I will not let you hurt anybody even if you somehow manage to break free from the chains", Edward said putting a smile on Evelyn's face.
Grrr...
Suddenly when they were talking, a trembling growl can be heard from the side.
Edward snap his head to the side and saw Gistella has already turned into a Werewolf more than the current Evelyn, her body is already covered with brownish black fur, and her mouth already turned into a muzzle.
Slowly her body also gain mass as she slowly got a bit taller than Edward.
Based on the Battle Prowess Hierarchy feature, Gistella's bloodline has the highest potential.
This basically means that Werewolf Fiend has the highest potential to become a very strong Werewolf compared to the others, she's also by far the strongest member of the Silverstar Pack Family under Rex's command.
Upon feeling the cracking sounds inside her body, Gistella watches as her body transforms.
Although the cracking sound and even the muscles inside of her body are starting to move, Gistella didn't look to be in as much pain as Edward expected her to be. The process is smooth without any hiccup, and soon Gistella raises her gaze.
Edward feels the enormous aura that she emits the moment their eyes are locked.
Since Gistella has already absorbed the Ancient Vampire Core, she has already reached the seventh rank realm. This alone already puts her stronger than Edward in terms of raw power and destructiveness, but now that she turned into her Werewolf form...
She becomes even stronger, her aura alone puts Edward's entire senses alert.
Turning her gaze to the Chains of Anti-Werewolf that are stabbed into her limbs, Gistella then mutters with a still feminine voice but more hoarse, "Get this off of me..."
"I can't Gistella, I have to make sure that you're completely sane first", Edward replied.
Hearing this, Gistella turns her head toward Edward with her eyes glowing bright yellow. A light growl escapes her mouth that makes the heart tremble, and out of nowhere, bronze scales cover her body amplifying her aura even more.
Growl!
"Get this off of me!", Gistella shouted baring her full aura that pushes Edward a couple of steps.
Edward activates his dark fire and also slowly imbued spirit energy into his body, he now already reached the sixth rank and also commands a spirit that is as strong as Devo when Rex bought him from the shop.
Despite the chains suppressing her energy, Gistella's power kept spiking.
The silver chains that are restraining her look to be covered with a yellow aura that she emits because of the Wolf Moon, and looking at this alone Edward knows that babysitting these two is going to be harder than he thought.
Meanwhile, back to Dupok City.
Rex also experienced the same thing as his body slowly turns into his Werewolf form.
Although at this point he should be able to ignore the pain of transforming into his Werewolf form. Turns out he can't because unlike usual, each time his body transforms his mind throbs in pain.
It's different than how he usually turns into his Werewolf form,
No matter if it's his claws that got longer, his horns that are slowly poking out, or even his muscle mass that is starting to increase, each one of these transformations demands a heavy toll on Rex's mind that makes him dizzy.
Clank!
'Grrrghhh!!! Damn this low sanity stat!!', Rex screamed inside his head.
Without a doubt, all of this is because of his low sanity stat which is very hard to increase for some reason. It's stuck at below 30% without any sign of increasing even though he already tried to calm his mind.
Right now is the consequence of that, Rex is in agony.
Rex looks up to the sky while pulling on the purple chains that are wrapping around his body, the yellow moonlight energy that he emits got sucked almost instantly by the Chains of Sanctifying Downfall which are very powerful.
In the sky, the bright yellow moon that looked like the devil's eye greeted him.
Upon glaring at the Wolf Moon with the bubbling anger inside of him that is trying to take over his mind, Rex falls to his knees once again feeling every drop of yellow moonlight energy within him got sucked by the chains once again.
While breathing heavily, Rex wanted to rest but his transforming body doesn't give him any rest.
But then suddenly, "My poor child..."
Hearing the soothing but eerie voice seeping into his ears makes Rex looks up in surprise, his eyes then started widening upon seeing a figure levitating not far from him just under the yellow moon in the sky.
It's at least levitating thirty to fifty feet away from Rex.
The figure should be a woman clad in a black Sabrina dress layered with a black cloak that doesn't touch her body but at the same time covers her body, her eyes are like two blackholes that blended with the darkness of the night.
Her waist-length jet-black hair falls down beautifully as if it were the darkness incarnate.
With the yellow full moon shining bright on her back, a sacred bearing is added to the figure's already graceful appearance. But what attracts Rex's attention the most is the glowing white half-crescent moon on her forehead.
It lies just below a tiara made of pure darkness on her head.
Something tells Rex that this woman in front of him is not supposed to be here, and this woman is also not an entity that he can mess with. Looking at the black tiara, Rex can't help but frown, 'Is she a princess? queen? or perhaps... a countess?'
