Due to the fact that he got involved with Kaiser which is one of the Lunirich Gods who is able to forcefully essentially kidnap him for days, coupled with the attack by the cursed creatures, Rex knows that he can't keep going like this.
Maybe he alone would be able to survive, but the others are not cut for this kind of life.
Although he's an invincible entity in this current time with a handful that can match his strength, the others are not that strong compared to him. Out of the four pack members, Flunra is still probably the strongest due to his ancient runic power.
It's not he's the strongest in terms of raw strength, but his power makes him a formidable enemy.
Kyran, Adhara, and Gistella are probably nearing in strength, having the ability to take on eighth-rank realm opponents as long as they are fighting in the night and can transform into their Werewolf form. Each has its own strength against the other, Adhara is invincible against Werewolves, Kyran is good against others, and Gistella can survive better.
But with the current enemies the Silverstar Pack has, their powers are not enough.
If they aren't able to fight peak eighth-rank power equally then they would be in constant danger, Rex needs a piece of mind if he were to move from place to place. One disturbance of focus might just cost a hefty price for him.
Now he realized that Kyran was right, the Silverstar Pack needs allies.
'Either humans or Supernaturals, both have their own evils. I can't deny that anymore when Giana decided to kill me and my family. If I'm accepting that fact, then there's no reason for me to become allies with a Supernatural Kingdom' Rex thought and nodded inwardly.
Although it feels weird to do this, he needs to get used to it if he wanted to keep on going.
Dark Elves don't have the power he needed to actually help protect the castle, but they have the number and also information that he really needs right now. In exchange for a simple task they probably want in return, this is not a bad deal.
On top of that, Rex is also doing this for Kyran's sake.
It was Kyran that suggest allying with some other forces, and the Dark Elf is the most reasonable.
"Well if that's the direction you wanted to go, then there's no reason for you to refuse humans inside this nation you wanted to create, right?" Evelyn asked from the side while they give time for the Dark Elves to discuss the matters amongst themselves.
Taking a deep breath and exhaling roughly, Rex then replied, "Yes, no discrimination"
"If that's the case then I have great news for you, I'll tell you after we're done with the Dark Elves" Evelyn added with a mysterious smile on her face, and this made Rex curious but he'll know about it eventually.
From his right, Flunra bent his body and whispered, "My apologies for not being able to help"
Upon hearing this Rex waved his hand as if it was not a big deal that needed Flunra apologizing. Since they are discussing amongst themselves, the Dark Elves cast a sound barrier spell to block the discussion they are doing from being heard by Rex and the others.
Of course, this kind of spell can be easily broken by Flunra. But he can't help right now.
"Don't worry, they probably want something in return. I can see it in their faces, but we have the overwhelming advantage in this negotiation" Rex said nonchalantly, he was not that worried about the Dark Elves' discussion.
A moment later, the Dark Elves finally came to a conclusion.
With the sound barrier disappearing through diluting in the air, King Jorik sat back down again at the other end of the table. Constructing the words inside his head for a moment, he then finally said, "The Dark Elf Kingdom accepts the proposition, we accept to become an ally of the Silverstar Pack. I believe that it's a relationship that would benefit both sides, and is happy to go through with this"
"I'm happy to hear that, King Jorik. But I know that you must have conditions..." Rex replied.
Clearing his throat before putting on a serious expression, King Jorik then lay out the conditions of this proposition, "Yes, I want to make sure that our alliance works on collective security only. We would not associate anything that correlates with attacking high-rank Supernaturals or Humans"
Upon hearing this, Rex chuckled lightly in response.
"Of course not, our alliance would prioritize collective security. If one of us is attacked, we all got attacked. As for attacking high-rank Supernatural races or humans, I'm sorry to say this but your people are not strong enough to fight my enemies..." he replied and emphasizes his last sentence.
But King Jorik didn't find any offense in this, he understands it clearly.
The entities that are after Rex is not something the Dark Elves can handle, most of them are the Kings and Queens of the high-rank Supernatural races. Each of them has ninth-rank realm power, and they won't be able to do anything except buy a little bit of time by throwing themselves on the way.
As he said that, Rex suddenly remembered something, "Now that we're on this topic..."
"You must understand that this alliance tilts heavily to your side, King Jorik. Having the backing of someone like me, I think that's worth more than anything you can offer. But I'm determined to make this work, all I ask is for you to hand over some of your elemental stones to me" he added.
Most of the Dark Elves' nobilities burst into a discussion when they heard this.
Elemental stone mine is the source of energy for most of the Supernatural races, and even the races that don't benefit from elemental stones would still need them as it's a currency in the Supernatural world.
It's essential for a Kingdom, the demand is quite impactful for these Dark Elves.
Just like Rex said earlier they have an overwhelming advantage in this negotiation, the Dark Elves would gain the help of a ninth-rank realm entity if this goes through, and there's also the chance of Rex destroying them right here right now.
Nothing would be too much to ask right now, but it doesn't mean they would easily give it away.
Although Rex also in a sense need them to fortify the castle's defense by having them guarding the inside, the walls, and the Humming Damned Forest, the Dark Elves don't need to know about that.
In their perspective, Rex only gave them this chance out of respect for Kyran and Uncle Isniu.
Raising his hand, the Dark Elves' nobilities went silent again when they saw King Jorik signaling for them to stop their battering. "How much are you asking? and what kind of elemental stones are you looking for?" King Jorik asked.
With the hope of the demand is not too bad, King Jorik doesn't want to jump to a conclusion.
"Let's say you give me 50% of your entire elemental stones, I'm asking for the elemental stones only not the mine itself. As for what kind of elemental stones, I don't care but I prefer them to be high-grade elemental stones" Rex replied leisurely, he needs these elemental stones dearly.
Devo doesn't have any sign of finding one, so he needs to gain some from the Dark Elves.
But this made King Jorik frown as he was not expecting such high demand, half of the entire kingdom's storage is a lot to just gave it all away. Many of the Dark Elves' nobilities already show their disapproval.
At the end of the day, it was up to King Jorik to decide whether to accept or not.
Knowing that this would be a tough swallow, Rex then added to convince them further and avoid unnecessary conflict. After all, he's not that petty. "If you think this won't benefit you, give me 5,000 high elemental stones right now and I'll show you"
Upon hearing this, King Jorik hesitated but he doesn't see any ill intent in Rex's eyes.
Signaling to one of the Dark Elf guards again, they came back with a huge sack of high wind stones filling the inside. General Theodas is already worried that they might be tricked, his hand is already at the hilt of his weapon.
Rex reaches for the sack of high-wind stones before out of nowhere the entire sack disappeared.
Each one of the Dark Elves' nobilities widened their eyes upon seeing this including King Jorik himself, they can't believe what they are seeing right now. It's been rumored that the Alpha of the Silverstar Pack has talent in magic too.
It's been said that the Alpha has lightning magic, which is very unusual for a Werewolf to have.
But this completely blew their minds, the Dark Elves' minds can't comprehend what they saw just now. Something that they never thought Rex would do, an element that is so rare that even most of them only knew that it was from a fairytale.
"Did the high wind stones just disappear...?"
"S-Space Magic?!"
"Impossible! That element is a myth! Moreover, how can a Werewolf use that kind of magic?!"
Most of them are caught by surprise went they saw Rex putting the high-wind stones inside the inventory. For them, it looks like he was using space elements but that's not the case, he was just converting the high wind stones into gold through the system.
Rex doesn't want to clear their misunderstanding though, it's working in his favor.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Due to the fact that he got involved with Kaiser which is one of the Lunirich Gods who is able to forcefully essentially kidnap him for days, coupled with the attack by the cursed creatures, Rex knows that he can't keep going like this.
