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.
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..."
