Chapter 121 The 3 Watchers
Chapter 121 The 3 Watchers
A month ago, a new mystic warrior walked into the Seraphim Shelter.
The nearest shelter to the east of the King Resistance Shelter was the Seraphim Shelter. After separating from Rex, Cassandra did not return to Obedin City as she also decided to leave the shelter.
After the intimate encounter with Rex, Cassandra was determined more than ever before to help Rex and most importantly protect him from joining the dark side like in his future life.
In both lives that she lived, this was her first time falling in love and losing her virginity.
In her future life, as a genius of the Ancient Putin family, she was revered not just because of her strength and status but because of her great beauty.
She was in that category of women that could be described as Jade Beauties but she never got to lose her virginity because she looked down on every boy.
In her youth, every boy that she met was always beneath her and she had an instinctive sense of disdain for everybody that she was better than.
Because of this, none of the boys that she met though they admired her never got the courage to make advances on her. She remained a lone warrior and genius until she met the demonic warrior, Rex Vector.
Rex became the first man to defeat her in any category on their first encounter. Singlehandedly, this powerful demonic warrior defeated her and all the entourage of mystic warriors that were dispatched by her family.
On their second encounter, it was not a battle of fists but that of intelligence and wits but once again, the demonic warrior trashed her completely.
After these 2 thorough defeats, Cassandra found herself falling in love for the first time. She wanted to take the initiative but having lived alone her whole life, she never found the courage to speak to Rex during their few encounters.
They clashed a lot of times, battling fiercely like archenemies while she secretly already fell in love with him.
Things continued like this until the Ancient Holmes family finally set their eyes on the Putins which rapidly escalated things and forced her to time travel.
Now, in this different timeline, she got to live from a young age with Rex whom she admired and this gave space for Rex to finally develop feelings for her.
Everything followed naturally from there and she lost her virginity.
Though she was devastated that Rex abandoned her after the intimate encounter, she did not feel too bad since she understood his reasons.
As she already had a faint idea of Rex's outrageous growth speed, Cassandra was reluctant to be left behind which was why she did not wallow in sorrow. Also, she remembered that she time traveled for a reason.
She also needed to become powerful enough to help Rex.
And if possible, she wanted to take advantage of her future knowledge and get stronger than him so that she could help him more and easily protect him from joining the dark side.
For personalities like Rex, darkness was already ingrained in them, a little trigger was all that was needed for the darkness to be unleashed.
She vowed never to allow Rex to encounter one of these triggers.
After going through her future knowledge, Cassandra decided to go to the Seraphim Shelter where she joined an upstart assassin organization.
Cassandra joined them because, in 2 months, the leader of this assassin organization will unearth a Myth grade cultivation mystic treasure.
Through the Evolution Pool, the Sad Flutes will rise within just 6 months to become the most dreaded assassin union of the Seraphim Shelter.
Cassandra wanted to be a part of them during this time of rapid growth.
After arriving at the Seraphim Shelter, it took her only 2 days to enter the assassin organization that was still in its infant stages. Once she entered, she started working hard as she aimed to become the leader's closest aide.
She wanted to benefit as much as possible, she wanted to recover her powers as fast as possible and this was the best way that she could think of.
She was already in a race against time.
"Rex, I hope my Affection Necklace can keep you safe till I'm strong enough".
…
2 hooded Intermediate mystic warriors casually walked through a street in the Seraphim Shelter as they soon met up with another hooded warrior.
"Search results are still negative Young Master".
Arthur's face scrunched up on getting this result as his emotions started boiling again, but his cousin noticed on time as she placed a hand on his shoulders to calm him down.
"Arthur, stay calm".
"He cannot hide away forever".
"One day, one way or another, he will surely show up. Remember, he is alone and alone, he cannot do much no matter how much inheritances his ancestors left for him to make his journey easier".
On hearing that, Arthur's riled-up emotions calmed a bit.
After the high-scale but disastrous mission to end the bloodline of the Ancient Vector family by him, that went south, Arthur literally went mad as his desire to hunt Rex became stronger than ever before.
All his life, despite being the recognized best and future of the Holmes family, Arthur wanted to achieve more to impress the 3 Watchers.
The 3 Watchers were the oldest and strongest ancestors of the Holmes family who were rumored to have personally gone head-to-head against the Great Orion Vector of the Ancient Vector family.
After they defeated Orion, history said that they no longer cared about matters of the material world as they retired to the soul world where they watched everything happening here from their eyeball soul manifestations.
The goal of every modern Holmes was to impress the 3 Watchers. Once you receive their favor, your path in the family was practically already glorious.
The mission to end the line of the Vectors was assigned to Arthur personally by the 3 Watchers, and Arthur was determined to not disappoint.
He planned for a long time, and everything was perfect but a single mystic warrior, Butcher Mama whom he did not anticipate completely ruined all his plans.
He was angry for days after escaping from Bowling Town but once he calmed down, Scorpion secretly snuck him back to the town where they looked for clues. After deep searching, they found clues that revealed Rex's plan.
They were able to deduce that his final destination was the Gundam Shelter. Once they saw it, they guessed Rex's plan and without hesitation, Arthur started planning to intercept Rex before he got to his destination.
What he failed to deduce was Rex's decision not to take the conventional route but to take the dangerous route that led through the Great Forest of Elias.
This was why once again; his plan was unfruitful as Rex was nowhere to be found. To calm himself, Arthur followed his cousin to a nearby restaurant.
As he drank while thinking, suddenly, his eyes turned white.
Bzzz!
When Arthur regained consciousness, he was in the soul world in the domain where the 3 Watchers of the Holmes family resided.
Arthur bowed instantly to pay his respects. "Watchers!"
The 3 massive eyeballs did not stand on ceremony as they went straight to the point. 3 of them took turns as their deep voices resounded in the darkness.
"Arthur Holmes…"
"Go to the Great Forest of Elias…"
"There, you will find the last line of the Vector bloodline…".
All 3 spoke the last sentence together in a spooky spectacle. "Do not fail us this time. Exterminate him!"
