Chapter 92: The Gigantic Drex Alpha

Rucif went to the mountains with Kiora, while little Drex came out hungry. He sat at the dining table and ate whatever was there.

“Sigh, I'm forced to become a vegetarian today! I'm too lazy to hunt fowl!” he grumbled while chewing food.

Drex remembered that Rucif had left something in front of the room, it was true that there was a water bottle containing a strange drink. Drex immediately took a sip, it tasted quite similar to alcohol in the human world. You immediately feel warm in your body when you drink it.

“This drink is delicious too! How does Rucif make it like this? What a step talent!”

Just as he drank the Rucif magic potion, his body felt hotter and Drex felt his body getting bigger. The man immediately returned to the room, standing in the crystal mirror and looking at his appearance which had changed into the figure of the adult Drex Ethan.

“Wow! It's work! I'm finally a man!” he muttered.

“Emm, I'm so handsome! There is no doubt about my absolute good looks!" He said, starting to get narcissistic.

Knock! Knock!

Drex, who was still admiring himself, finally opened the door and saw Prince Xavier coming to Rucif's tree house.

***

Kiora and Rucif flew together to the mountains, with beautiful mountain views, and tall trees that moved their hands together when the wind sang among their leaves. There are many strange flowers there.

"Princess"

"Yes?"

"I forgot to tell you, before it's too late I want to tell you, don't be easily tempted to eat forest fruit!"

"Why?"

“Lots of strange fruit in the forest! "There are some that if eaten will result in poisoning, mirages, laughing alone, feeling itchy, or some that can even make someone fall asleep as if they were dead!" Rucif explained.

“How terrifying!”

“Yes indeed, so be careful! If you want to try one of the fruits, ask me first for safety reasons,"

"Okay! Thank you for caring about me!” Kiora whispered.

"You are the princess of this world, I must protect you even at the cost of my life!"

“Hihihi, thank you!”

They went deeper into the forest, looking for rivers and climbing to higher ground. A tree song sounded in unison, making the princess sing along melodiously.

Rucif listened carefully, he saw the wind start to blow along with the tone of the princess's voice. The forest-dwelling talking plants began to praise her voice and beauty.

Unfortunately, they couldn't stay there for long. They had to go up again to look for the flower Rucif wanted.

A stream of spring water could be heard rushing between the slopes, the difficult terrain made the source of the spring look very clear. Fairies can fly, but not many fairies like steep terrain like mountain slopes.

Something could be seen sparkling up there, a cluster of golden waterlilies living in that place very lushly.

“Princess, wait here, I will fly up there immediately," said Rucif.

He found it, a beautiful golden waterlilies. It dances with the leaves and sparkles.

“Hi, golden Waterlilies!”

"Wow, are you a forest elf? What brings you here?" asked the flower who could also talk.

"I want to ask for your flower petals, do you mind?"

"It's okay. But, don't take it all,"

“Of course not, I know myself too! "I won't let a step flower like you die," answered Rucif.

“Okay, forest elf! I trust you,"

"Thank You,"

Rucif had received permission, he took the flower slowly and put it in a fairy bag which could hold many strange things belonging to fairies.

Suddenly something strange happened, bellflowers were heard tinkling from a distance. Shouting in response, calling his name. As a result, the bellflowers on the mountain also shouted for Rucif.

“Kiora! Let's go back! It's urgent!"

"What's wrong?" Kiora asked.

“Something happened at home! Maybe something serious! Let's go home, Princess!"

Taking Kiora's hand, Rucif invited the woman to fly quickly. Rucif even forgetting to hold the hand of a royal princess was a presumptuous act. Rucif sped off, avoiding several flying birds and hovering to see his house from a distance.

"Oh my! What the hell is happening?" asks Rucif.

“What monster is that?" 

"Ow, shit! The bad news is, he is Drex! Something made him lose control! This is dangerous, Princess Kiora! Drex's uncontrolled power can hurt anyone! Don't come any closer, stay here!” Rucif emphasized.

"Be careful!" Kiora shouted at Rucif who fell low.

Graaaa! Auuuuu!

The Gigantic Drex Alpha started to howl and move his big sharp teeth. The big werewolf was chasing someone quite familiar.

“Prince Xavier? What are you doing here?” asks Rucif when he meets his prince.

“Rucif! Luckily you came quickly! He drank all your magic potion! Quickly find an antidote!” explained Xavier.

Hearing this, Rucif immediately rushed into the house to see what was making Drex go crazy. A flower magic potion he made last night, seemed to be reduced by almost half.

"No wonder he's getting awkward! The drink could increase a person's subconscious anger! I just found out that Lycans can be this crazy! Oh, Man! My house!” he grumbled.

Rucif came out, he saw Drex put out his sharp claws while quickly chasing Xavier who continued to dodge.

“Start flying! Drex will continue to chase you if he sees you in front of him!"

Following Rucif's advice, Xavier flew upwards, and sure enough, Drex couldn't follow him. Drex's large body made it difficult for him to jump or reach Xavier who was on top.

“Drex! Come to your senses, Drex!" shouted Rucif approaching.

“Drex! Calm down Drex! The anger you feel now is unreal! Come to your senses!”

Drex studied Rucif's face but it didn't mean anything. The creature was still angry and started to take out its claws quickly to attack Rucif who was unprepared.

Graaaa!

“Drex! Stop it!” shouted a voice that made Drex's crazy figure stop his movements.

Lea came, and the woman flew quickly to persuade Drex who was unconscious.

“Drex! You know me right? It's me, Lea!”

Drex sat watching, watching Lea's face approach slowly.

“Don't be angry, Drex! That feeling of anger inside you is not reality! Come to your senses!”

Drex began to observe Lea's face, he didn't flinch, he seemed to recognize Lea a little.

"Lea, be careful! He won't necessarily be calm if he knows you! Stay alert!" said Rucif from a distance.

Lea approached and stepped slowly with her hands starting to touch Drex's fur and stroke it. Drex was silent, he stared at Lea's face, and then his eyes started to light up, and he raised his claws high to start attacking.

"Leah, watch out! Get back!" Rucif warned.

"Drex! I love you!" Lea shouted while hugging the large, angry creature.

Lea's scream stunned the beast, it lowered its claws and studied Lea once again. There was a warm flow from Drex's heart which began to beat steadily and became calmer.

Lea was still hugging and stroking the big wolf's fur until slowly his form turned smaller and turned back into a man.

"Drex! You're back! Drex!" called Lea, hugging her lover tightly.

"Lea? Am I dreaming?"

"No, I'm Lea. Are you okay?"

"What happened? I feel so tired! I'm so sleepy,"

"Go to sleep, Drex! You need rest!"

The man closed his eyes, sleeping in the middle of the road where everything around him seemed to be falling apart.

"Let him sleep! I'll take him to the room!" said Rucif, enchanting Drex with fairy dust, and the Lycan's body floated towards the room.

"Oh Man! Drex, you have to start work tomorrow to make up for the damage you caused to my house!"

"Your house looks wider now, Rucif!" said Lea commenting.

"It's not wide, it's half open!" Rucif replied, somewhat annoyed.

Kiora flew low with Xavier, and both of them wondered why they could meet at Rucif's house.

"What are you doing here, Kiora?" he asked.

"It's none of your business!"

"Hmm, are you guys dating?" Xavier guesses.

"I told you! It's none of your business!" Kiora answered with a blushing face.

"Hmm, without you answering I can already see it from your face!" said Xavier.

"It's annoying! What are you doing here?"

"Bad things are happening in the palace! I need Rucif's help!"

"What help, Your Majesty?" asked Rucif who had just finished taking Drex to his room.

Xavier took something out of his pocket, a small bottle containing a small amount of liquid that he found in the cellar where the palace chef died.

"Here, I want you to check what this liquid is!"

"What happened?"

"Someone died, suspected to be poisoned by this. However, the corpse was a very terrible, dry bag there was a remnant of the fairy's holy soul in the body!" Xavier explained.

“Poison that can make an elf die?”

“Yes, I doubt that there is such a poison. It was as if a creature was sucking his soul! Please check this fluid, Rucif! Does this poison cause someone to die with characteristics like that?" asked Xavier.

"Okay! I will send someone to the palace to inform you of the results.”

"Okay, thank you! There's someone I trust but at the same time being very suspicious!”

“Please be careful, My Prince! Stay alert, don't trust anyone around you for now!” Rucif replied,

"Okay, I understand! I'm going back to the palace, I can't be gone for too long!”

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

“Kiora! Let us go home! What are you doing playing around here when there's such a commotion in the palace!”

“Yes, I will come with you. I'll go first, Rucif! Thank you, greetings to Drex and Lea!”

"Okay. Looks like I'll have a lot of work today too!” said Rucif looking at the condition of his house while grinning.

“Wish I could help!”

“Don't worry, this is all easy for me. Don't hesitate to stop by here, okay?"

"Okay! Bye!”

Xavier saw Kiora, he smiled because he felt his sister's relationship was progressing.

"Let's go!"

"OK!"

The two of them flew away, while Rucif went into his house. He saw Lea accompanying Drex in the room, it seemed everything was better.

“Rucif! What happened?" asked Lea.

“He just greedily drank all my magic potions! But it seems to have a good effect on his body. His hidden powers can emerge, so I think he's probably normal now!” Rucif explained.

"In that case, is good, isn't it?"

"Yup! Well, take care of him! I will tidy up my house!”

“Thank you, Rucif!”

"Tch, I'm amused to hear such sweet words from you!"

“Thank you my most handsome brother in the universe!”

"Hahaha, I don't deny that!"

Rucif went into his living room, scattered fairy dust, and ordered everything back to its original place. Slowly all the items moved by themselves, arranging them one by one to their proper place.

While watching, Rucif began to examine a little of the potion in the bottle which was suspected to be poison. Carefully take a drop of the liquid inside and put it on something.

His face looked surprised, he felt that there was nothing strange in the liquid which was thought to be poison. Picking up something that moved, a soft-furred cactus-like magic creature, an experimental animal that usually reacted quickly spewed poison. Rucif immediately gave him food that had been smeared with the liquid that Xavier had brought.

Not spitting it out, the creature ate the food provided with great gusto. Rucif waited for a long time, but nothing happened. The creature was getting more and more hungry and nothing happened to it.

“It's clear this isn't poisonous! Does anyone want to carry out a conspiracy in the palace?" Rucif guessed.

“It seems I have to see firsthand what the victim looks like. I'll go check there. "But if I go there openly, the perpetrators might be alerted,"

Rucif started looking for a way to enter the palace and meet Prince Xavier. But not as a fairy man but as a fairy woman.

“Leah! I borrow your clothes! I have to go to the palace, I need to disguise myself!”

"Why is that?"

“I have to meet Prince Xavier! I feel like there is someone dangerous and planning bad things in the palace!”

“Okay, just use it! You also need to wear facial make-up! I will help you!" answered Lea, who helped.

With Lea's help, Rucif turned into a beautiful female forest elf, with her firm jaw, Rucif's face looked even more beautiful than Lea's.

“Oh, I feel like I have a sister! You are so beautiful, Rucif! Why don't you just be a girl?" said Lea carelessly.

"You should be grateful that I am a man, if I were a woman I would be more popular than you!"

"Hmm, there's some truth to that! Then, what if Xavier falls in love with you and makes you his 13th wife?”

“I will beat him up!”

“Hihihi, you have to be calmer when pretending to be a woman!”

"I just wanted to infiltrate the palace, meet Xavier, and then find out what happened in the palace," explained Rucif.

"Hmm, yes! I hope nothing bad happens!” answered Lea.

“Fingers crossed, look after the house! Let this fairy dust work, add more if it's not enough! It might take all night before we can close this big hole in the house!" Rucif said.

“Okay, don't worry! When you come home later, your house will be as neat as before! I can do it," Lea wiling.

"Okay! I go first,"

“Be careful on the road, Caily!"

"Who is that?" Rucif wondering.

"You! Don't you need a name? Caily is a beautiful name!” said Lea waving.

“Caily? Hmm, not bad!"

“Don't forget to eat the voice-changing berries! Your voice doesn't match your form!” said Lea.

"Yes! I've brought it just in case!”

Rucif goes to the palace, he disguises himself as a forest fairy named Caily who brings gifts in the form of the best forest products for Prince Xavier as a special gift from Rucif.

"I'm Caily coming to meet Prince Xavier!" he said in front of the palace guards and fairy officials.

Prince Xavier, who was holding a meeting that day, heard that a female elf from the forest had been sent to meet him. But as soon as he saw the fairy's beauty, Xavier was immediately enchanted.

"Who are you, Miss?"

"I'm sorry I couldn't attend your big event the other day, I was on a long journey at that time. Tell me the name of my servant Caily, a forest elf!" his greeting was so convincing.

“You're so considerate! I'm flattered by your thoughtfulness, Caily!”

Caily came forward with her gift, handed it over to the waiter, and was seen starting to step back to say goodbye.

"Wait a moment! I want to get to know you a little!”

“Your Majesty, we are in a meeting!” said the advisor.

"We'll meet again after I talk to him for a while!"

The palace officials seemed to understand Xavier's habit of not being able to restrain himself when he saw beautiful women. Moreover, the other day Xavier had not found a suitable candidate to become the 13th empress.

"Let's go for a walk!" he said, immediately taking Caily's hand.

"Lord? Um__?”

"Come on, don't be shy! We can be friends!" Xavier said.

The two of them took a walk in the palace garden, because it looked very private, the guards and servants began to keep their distance so that the two of them could talk more freely.

“I've never seen you? Are you still related to Lea and Rucif? Your faces are a bit similar?”

"My Prince, I am__!"

“Ah, I feel so honored today, I think it's my lucky day!” said Xavier starting to babble.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty__!"

"You are very beautiful, I never thought I would meet a forest fairy as beautiful as you!"

“You make me sick! It's me Rucif!” said the woman who immediately changed her voice to a man's voice.

“Aaaa___,” Xavier looked very surprised.

“Shhh! Calm down, Your Majesty, listen to me speak!”

“How could you__?”

“The potion you sent me was just fruit syrup! There are no dangerous poisons present! That means you have to be suspicious of the people around you!"

"Are you sure? I already feel that this is very strange!”

“Which one of your people possibly has the ability to soul-sucking dark magic?”

“Prime Minister! He was the one who discovered the liquid, he was also the one who insisted that the liquid was poison!” guess Rucif.

“You have to start being careful with him! Watch the people around him!”

“It's not easy, Rucif! Help me!"

"In what way?"

“Become the 13th empress in the name of Caily!” said Xavier who had a bad idea.

“Ow, man! That's the worst idea I've ever heard!”
