Chapter 695 The Battle Is Already Won
Now he can picture the destruction of his race more than he ever wants to.
In front of the capital city, he saw his own people being restrained by Rex\'s spell helplessly without being able to do anything, the grip around their bodies was so hard that many of them are whimpering, feeling their bodies are slowly being crushed by the tightening grip.
Crimson life slowly drizzled down their mouths, showing the suffering they are enduring.
Due to the scenery at this current moment, King Samobas can even feel the souls of his people reaching out to him, asking for help to be freed from this agony that they are incurred to. The sound of their cries seeped into his ears, like a sad melody of tormented people inside hell itself.
Slowly, King Samobas\' heart started to bleed and his eyes fixated on his people.
"What is your answer, King Samobas? But I really stressed that agreeing with my condition is the best possible answer you can give right now, that is if you still want to be a King of something" Rex\'s cryptic voice came and snap King Samobas out of his daze.
With his arm still stretched forward, the answer he will gain will dictate what he will do next.
Flunra, Mofous, and the other Dwarves don\'t need to be able to sense fear like Rex to know that King Samobas\' mind was broken completely by Rex. It\'s depicted clearly in his eyes, the answer is already clear before he even says it.
"Y-Yes... I\'ll do as you say" King Samboas finally replied, defeat inside his tone.
Upon hearing this the corner of Rex\'s mouth quirks up into a satisfied smirk, he then waves his hand before the entire spell was canceled and King Samobas was freed from the influence of the Alpha Bearing that overwhelmed him.
In the next second, he can finally grab ahold of his body once again.
But despite regaining back control over his body, King Samobas didn\'t move from his spot and just sits there unmoving. "Mofous, tell the Dark Elves and Dwarves to retreat. Their job here is done, and they are allowed to go back to their kingdoms" Rex glanced over his shoulder and instructed, he then looks back at King Samobas again, "the war is already won..."
Mofous didn\'t waste any time before he and the other Dwarves went into the ground once again.
"It\'s time for us to get back, Flunra. We are also done here" Rex said before he turns around, he puts his back against King Samobas and walks away. "Do what you are told to do, King Samobas. If you try anything, I\'ll know" he added before disappearing from the place.
With both of his hands on the ground, King Samobas stayed at his spot for a moment.
King Samobas enjoyed the breeze of air and steady his breathing for a couple of minutes, there was no expression on his face, but his eyes seems to contain restlessness and worry. Taking one big breath, he then stands back up.
None of the injuries were seen on his body, the vial given by Rex does his body wonders.
Although that is the case there\'s no happiness on his face, he wears the face of a person that is determined and is ready to die. Not intending to idle for long, he jumps toward the capital city to get back to his kingdom.
Meanwhile, in front of the capital city.
"What was that? I can hardly breathe..."
"I don\'t know, it must be a powerful formation done by the Dark Elves and Dwarves"
"If they are really the ones doing that, then why did they stop? Not even the captain can resist that power, they could\'ve crushed us easily if they wanted to"
Due to the incident where the thunderclouds gathered out of nowhere and rained black lightning strikes alongside the two pyramids that entrapped them inside, the Tigermen were confused as they already resigned to death right then.
But the phenomenon suddenly disappears into thin air as if it never happened before.
Just as they were confused they saw a figure heading towards them swiftly, each one of them slowly recognized the approaching figure as he gets closer and closer. Alongside recognizing the figure, their eyes also spark excitement.
"I-It must be our King!! He stopped that formation and saved us!!"
"Long live King Samobas!!"
"Long live King Samobas! Not even the Dark Elves and Dwarves can defeat our King!!"
Many Tigermen started to cheer and puts the credit on their King who is the strongest of them.
If anyone can break the pyramids and turn the sky blue once again, it must be their King who has reached a terrifyingly high realm. Nobody else aside from the King can do such a feat, there was no doubt in their hearts.
Boom!
King Samobas landed in front of his people with a loud booming sound.
Upon his arrival, the other Tigermen becomes even more ecstatic as they saw that their King was not injured at all despite the appearance of a Werewolf from the Silverstar Pack, the pride inside their hearts was at an all-time high.
Soon, four white-furred Tigermen also landed in front of King Samobas and kneeled in front of him.
"My King, we are glad to see you unscarred by your battle" a Tigerman said.
Looking down at this Captain Tigerman that has many injuries across his entire body from the fight against the Dark Elves and Dwarves, King Samobas has a little bit of guilt inside his eyes before he quickly replied, "I also glad to see the four of you survived and look well"
The four white-furred Tigermen nodded their heads, happy that their King is worried about them.
"What is our next move, My King? With the Dark Elves and the Dwarves pushed back, we can send a messenger to the Vampires that are the nearest to report this rebellion" the same Tigerman asked, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
But King Samobas shakes his head, "No, we are not going to do that"
Upon hearing this, the four white-furred Tigermen looks up at King Samobas in confusion. If the Dark Elves and Dwarves are defeated then they should continue what they were doing, postponing it would give the Dark Elves and Dwarves a chance to attack them for the second time.
"W-We are going to parley with them" King Samobas reluctantly said.
Although he\'s really reluctant to say that, he tries to keep a straight face so that the four white-furred Tigermen can be convinced. "My King, we won the war... why do we have to parley with them? We could use this chance to make our own advantage"
"I also agree, I don\'t understand how you can land on that decision..." another added.
Just like King Samobas expected, the four white-furred Tigermen instantly showed their disagreement as this decision is ridiculous. It doesn\'t make sense, and this would also ruin the reputation of the entire kingdom.
If it were anyone but King Samobas that suggested this, that Tigermen would be executed.
King Samobas looks down for a second before he reaffirms his decision, "We are going to parley, the Dark Elves and Dwarves reinforcement is already near. They also surrounded us from all sides, and there\'s also another member of the Silverstar Pack amongst them"
"It\'s best that we parley and try again in a more appropriate situation, my decision is final"
Under the authoritative tone, the four white-furred Tigermen looks at each other in surprise, but their respect for King Samobas makes them agree to whatever decision King Samobas comes to.
Out of every one of them, they trust King Samobas is the strongest and the wisest.
Despite the fact that they don\'t like that they were deciding to parley against the traitorous rebellion, the four white-furred Tigermen succumbs to King Samobas\' rules. With that, King Samobas looked back at the far distance of the landscape and saw two figures.
Rex and Flunra are watching him from afar, their sharp eyes drilling into King Samobas.
A light smirk appears on Rex\'s face when his eyes met with King Samobas, his body then slowly turned into a blur before Flunra also followed and disappears from the spot. Seeing them leave, King Samobas sighs in defeat before he commands his people back to the capital city.
With the matters regarding the Tigermen race has been dealt with, everybody went home.
Mofous and the other Dwarves were the ones still shocked by the display of power done by the Silverstar Alpha, they can feel that the Silverstar Alpha is holding back and was not showing his entire power but only his Awakened power.
But despite only showing near eighth-rank realm power, the span of his spell is terrifying.
"That Silverstar Alpha, his element powers are definitely not as strong as his Werewolf power, but the scale of his mana and level of control... it\'s able to envelop the entire capital city and restrict everything inside of it" Mofous mutters softly.
Upon hearing this, the other Dwarves with him also feel their blood run cold.
At a glance, Rex\'s spell also seems like it hurts the Dark Elves and Dwarves that got caught inside of it. But to their surprise, the Dwarves only feel their bodies restricted but not to the point of hurting them.
It\'s clear that Rex has immense control of his elemental powers which is unheard of.
"We need to report this to the King, we need to officially greet the Silverstar Pack just like the Dark Elves did" Mofous mutters again before nodding inwardly, it seems they have made the right choice to sign the Oath Pact.

Meanwhile, inside the Silverstar Castle.
Since the expression Rex is wearing when he told her about the rogue-cursed creature is serious, Evelyn decided to take her time to tell Adhara, Gistella, and Naela about the rogue-cursed creature and told them to not leave the castle.
Each has a different reaction when they received this news about the rogue cursed creature.
Adhara worries that the cursed creature might make its way inside the castle, so she decided to roam around the castle while simultaneously meditating. Out of the three, she has the most experience against cursed creatures.
It was due to the horde of cursed creatures that she faced before that make her confident.
On the other hand, Naela doesn\'t seem to be worried as she already expected Humming Damned Forest to hold such a cursed creature that can pose some threats. But Gistella seems to be paranoid when she heard this, her expression paled completely.
Evelyn thought that she was sick, but Gistella said that she was fine so she doesn\'t pursue it further.
While she was intending to back to her training, Evelyn remembered that she hasn\'t told Rex about the cities that she managed to gather to side with him. It would be a great help if they are here, helping to maintain the castle.
But there\'s a problem, she still doesn\'t know how to bring them here.
Just as her mind was trying to find a way to bring those people here to the castle, she bumped into Naela that is in the courtyard, looking at the two majestic gravestones with two names written on them.
"Oh, Evelyn... you seem to be troubled" Naela greeted with a smile.
Upon hearing this Evelyn realized that Naela is standing in front of her, the matters inside her mind occupied her so much that she didn\'t realize that she almost bumped into Naela. "Aren\'t you supposed to be training? You said that the castle has concentrated Dark Nature energy that you can harness"
"I was, but I\'m worried about the cursed creature. So I\'m sprinkling cursed dust" she replied.
Knowing that Evelyn probably doesn\'t know what cursed dust is, Naela then continues, "Cursed dust will help notify us if a cursed creature managed to get inside, it also helps in dealing with invisible cursed creature"
Evelyn nodded her head in understanding, it seems cursed dust is a convenient thing.
"So...? What is troubling your mind?" Naela asked, their relationship grew closer especially because of their talk at the dining hall before. With the girls being welcoming of her, it\'s not hard for Naela to fit in the castle.
Waving her hand in front of her face, Evelyn replied with a smile, "It\'s nothing really"
"I was just worried about Gistella, she seems to be sick but she didn\'t want to admit it" she added while looking to the side, the pale face shows clearly that there was something wrong with Gistella.
Nealea frowns, she also saw Gistella feeling dizzy out of a sudden.
Just as she was about to say something, the both of them widened their eyes when they heard a loud scream coming from the hallway. Instinctively, the two of them glanced in the sound direction before they instantly recognized the voice.
"Gistella!"
