The Scales of the Beginning

Going through the dense silent forest with no animals present or even critters present it was eerie to the mind as it displayed another sense of danger.

Arthas even wished that at least bugs of small size would be present even though he has a subtle dislike for bugs due to them trying to kill them. Arthas recalled the fight and realized that he was scared but not frightened enough to shrink in fear.

He patted himself for surviving the fight even if it cost him a rex, though it was unfortunate that he had to wait 1 day for him to resummon Nemesis he had no choice. It was another concern about his safety with just Maria, even with his oviraptor around he wasn't sure that she could properly fight off a monster.

He was also looking for opportunities for him to actually try out his borrowed magic. Arthas settled himself after getting out of the portal and checked every notification that he received during the fight and his escape, there were of course many questions that linger in his mind, there was also the task of killing the remaining Amirites that the Dominion have tasked him, it was to say quite stressful.

======================

New Quest Issued!

*Kill the remaining Amirites that have escaped the Evolutionary Mana Outburst

Progress: 9580/10000

Remaining: 420

Reward: As the Red Dominion sees fit.

Failure: Destruction of multiple cities and possibly kingdoms.

======================

'Bullshit, I can't even see the reward it makes it much less motivating to move around finding them here in the middle of nowhere.'

Getting reincarnated only to be ordered around by random people was not nice. Especially since the system he got contained points, he still hasn't figured out how to gain points.

'I don't need to worry about that for a while. I have at least 200k at my disposal I can summon another rex if ever needed but for now I have to conserve them. Scarcity really increases value.'

He looked at Maria and her system carried eggs it went down by 2 hours, right now he was guessing it was gonna get dark real soon. He was using the eggs as timers.

'They are slowly hatching but I don't know if I have a week for the remaining monsters to actually grow strong enough to wipe out every country here.'

Arthas was thinking about multiple things when Maria suddenly made a noise.

"Krrrkrr?"

"What is it? Did anything happen?"

With a low growling sound, it indicated that it was a positive response from Maria. She dashed on her way with swift speeds as Arthas was barely able to catch her and sometimes lost sight of her trail.

It took a while for Arthas to reach Maria with his slow legs and small stamina. He was about to question the small marathon when he looked straight at where Maria was looking.

His eyes dilated with fear and anxiety as he was mortified by the revolting view.

There were headless bodies cold dead on the ground with bloodied carcasses hanging around the trees with one having his eyes gouged out, some missing limbs. There was a constant stream of blood flowing down from a large source.

A number of bodies were present with marks that indicate they were intentionally cut in half like they were served in smaller pieces. Some had large holes on their chest and died with a terrified look.

It didn't take long before Arthas vomited in front of Maria who was growling with killing intent. Arthas felt everything inside him boil up to his throat. The horrendous scene made him so weak that all of his strength left his body making him unable to walk correctly.

He coughed repeatedly, his eyes furiously wandering to what it can but all he saw was blood and gore. His mouth jittered with a sense of trepidation, hands frozen cold but quaked with dread and scourge.

Heightened senses from fear allowed him to hear everything that moved, he heard screams and voices of people plagued with agony. It was the first human interaction he has received ever since he came here.

The fear he felt from fighting the ten-thousand Amirites was different and less human blood related, it was mostly monsters that were incredibly weakened plus he had Nemesis that could decimate countless numbers, however, this felt different. He felt truly helpless.

"Help me, please!"

"Lord Moon, why does this have to happen?!"

"Please anyone, help my child!!"

"Mama! Where are you?"

"Father, please talk to me!"

"No!! Robert we still have a dream to follow please don't go, don't leave me alone"

The white noise that was caused by shock began to dissipate as he heard everything that was coming from people running around the village, homes were trampled, gone, and one with the ground. The cries echoed inside his ears as he tries to block them off with his hands, but to no avail.

A large shriek was then heard in the forest with a resounding sound that reverberated in the forest. The people who were running amok stopped and looked at the creature with intense hatred and fear.

The creature wore jet-black scales with large dual pincers covered with fresh red blood with a human on each side held up and dead, like a doll made for fun. With a stinger that has a human impaled with blood dripping down to its exoskeleton structure.

Arthas face contorts once more as he knew this freakish monster very well. It was one of the monsters that he dealt with and one that he let escape.

"You fucking bastard, you did this?!"

Bloodshot eyes were seen in his eyes and his voice was hoarse and full of remorse, he despaired at the thought that because of his actions, it has led to the point that it affected people that were just trying to get their way of life.

People with homes to go back to, children to watch grow, parents to be made proud and families to love and protect. He was furious about the thought that this was something he had done.

"This is fucking ridiculous, Arthas you stupid bitch, how could you let this happen, how did they go so fast. This is too much…"

His eyes are bloodshot more than ever, tears flowed down heavily to his cheeks, and his teeth grinding with indignation and rage.

"I'll start with you, you son of a bitch….I am sorry everyone…Please forgive me, please…"

He screamed at the top of his lungs which gradually became a whimper as he bit his lips that they bled and looked down with teeth that grilled with exploding rage and imploding wrath that blamed himself.

As he said his sorry's a dark silhouette began to conjure to his side. Large heavy mounted black light with hatred blends with the shadows that began to rise from the edge of Arthas's penumbra.

A low growl began to silently take over the atmosphere, and the shadow in front of Arthas began to rise and rise with enough to cover a large amount of land. Arthas looked back.

What greeted Arthas's eyes were bright red colored eyes that reflected rage and fury. A wall of scales and blackness devoid of light reflected nothing but the eyes of seething emotion.

Sharp teeth colored white that contrasted the color of its scales, with a deep crimson red tongue bared its appearance to the world. Eyes that seemed disobedient to Arthas soon wavered from the eyes of his overpowered emotion.

The rex complied respectfully to the will of Arthas that emitted violence and regret. Its head bowed down to level Arthas and allowed him to touch its head. The rex closed his eyes and mouth shut as he acknowledge his summoner's feelings.

"Kill all the fucking bastards that did this."

With a short growl that indicated its acceptance of the request, the rex stood upright. It opened its mouth and let out a fierce deep roar blowing the surrounding environment, displacing objects that got hit by the wind that it produced.

Everyone stopped at the explosive roar that the rex produced, everyone set their eyes on the rex with profound anxiety and trepidation figuring out what would be next for them as another monster was sighted after the other, people in the village. It was the end for them.
