The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 63: First Mission

ʼTeam members? What do they mean by team members?ʼ, Rex thought in confusion, he squinted his eyes trying to remember if he ever met these two figures before but his head comes up with nothing.

Then suddenly, Devan opened his clothes revealing a black crow tattoo on his chest.

Rex then comes to a realization, ʼBlack crow tattoo? So theyʼre from the SCOʼ

He then checks both of their stats,

Power: Peak Rank Four - Telekinesis

Mental: 130

Strength: 65

Agility: 90

Endurance: 88

Intelligence: 0

Rex didnʼt expect Devan wearing all white to have a telekinesis ability, it is contrasting with his lean and muscular figure. Rex thought Devan will be a melee fighter.

The weird part about him is that he uses a white beanie that looks uncomfortable in this heat,

He then glances at Liliya beside Devan,

Power: Early Rank Five - ???

Mental: 93

Strength: 127

Agility: 185

Endurance: 115

Intelligence: 0

Looking at Liliyaʼs stats, Rex frowns.

Her stats are higher even compared to Rexʼs Werewolf form, the troubling part is that he canʼt see any hints of her abilities which never happened before.

After scanning them, Rex said, ”Do you guys perhaps see a group of black uniform Awakened?”

Devan raises his brows before suddenly a couple of people floating comes out of nowhere, ”You mean these guys?”

Rex nodded his head, ”We encounter them and they are noisy so Liliya and I knocked them all out. But one got away I suppose, heʼs a quick one”, Devan said before putting the unconscious people on the ground.

Rex frowns, ʼTheyʼre from the black tiger guild, theyʼre probably sent here to search for meʼ

After brief thinking, Rex glances back and said, ”So, Devan and Liliya, Why are you here looking for me?”

Hearing Rex, Liliya, and Devan were surprised for a bit, ”How did you know our name? We havenʼt told you our name yet”, Devan replies in shock.

Rex was stunned, ʼShit, I forgot they havenʼt introduced themselves yetʼ

He then coughs before saying, ”The Green Messenger told me, stop getting off-topic”

The frowns on Liliyaʼs and Devanʼs forehead disappear, Rex heaved a sigh of relief, ”We got our first mission, We need to go right now. Iʼll tell you about the mission along the way”, Liliya said before turning her back.

Rex hesitated for a moment, ʼAdhara and Rosie are still in the Cluster Domain, I think Liliya and Devan donʼt sense anything from the hole behind me. Letʼs keep it that wayʼ, Rex then apologizes to Rosie and Adhara in his heart before following them.

After Rex left for a couple of minutes,

Zong! Zong!

Adhara and Rosie come out of the Cluster Domain after packing their stuff,

Adhara looks funny because of her clothes that look like a Tarzan, Rex proposedly chooses them so she will not suspicious of him.

If Rex takes out a beautiful modern dress from the system then, of course, Adhara will be suspicious of where did the clothes come from. Ugrok canʼt possibly make that kind of clothes so he settles with Tarzan-like clothes.

”Whereʼs Rex?”, Rosie asks looking around the place.

They thought something bad happened to Rex and the group of Awakened but suddenly,

Ting!

Rosie opened her phone and saw Rex texts,

ʼI got something urgent, donʼt go look for me. Go back to the university safely, I will see you in a couple of days probablyʼ

Rosie then replied, ʼDonʼt forget the Faraday University Tournament will be held three days from now. If youʼre late, youʼre dead!ʼ

Rex only replies with a thumb emoji that makes Rosie cursed him in her heart,

She then looks at Adhara, ”Rex got something urgent to do, letʼs go back first”

Meanwhile,

Rex was following Liliya and Archie, they are like a shadow zipping through the forest.

Not long after, they got out of the forest and immediately went to a black sports car that is parked outside the Emham Forest.

”Get in”, Devan said as he sits in the driver seat.

The sports car looks manly, it is pretty low just about Rexʼs shoulder height. It has four seats, the spoiler is long and thin decorating its back, and the carʼs roaring engine is monstrous.

Vroom!!

Devan hit the pedal and drive off of the Emham Forest,

Everyone is silent inside the car,

Rex didnʼt want to open a conversation with two strangers but if theyʼre his team then this awkward vibe is not comfortable.

”Whatʼs the mission exactly?”, Rex said breaking the silence.

Devan then opens his mouth and explains, ”You mustʼve heard of Zrolis City right?”

Rex nodded his head and signal to continue, ”Based on SCO, the Supernaturalʼs movement is weird. Itʼs been days since the siege in Zrolis City, the clear objective is the high-grade Elemental Stone but to mine them is not supposed to be this long”

ʼSupernatural has enhanced physique and also magic, it is indeed weird they havenʼt retreated from Zrolis Cityʼ, Rex thought agreeing with the SCOʼs conclusion.

Liliya who is silent all this while suddenly added, ”There must be something keeping them there, our first objective is to find out and if possible prolong their stay”

ʼIs the same mission as I used to do, scouting missionʼ, Rex thought.

Just as he wanted to say something, Devan intervenes, ”The second objective is...”

”Wait, there are two objectives?”, Rex said in surprise.

Devan only looks at Rex from the middle mirror and continues, ”The scout from SCO has reported a sighting of five figures that enter Zrolis City late, the weird behavior may relate to the five figures somehow. Four of the figures are from the Haltija race, Haltija is a Supernatural born to guard something or someone which leads us to the last conclusion”

Rex opens his ears and listens closely to Devanʼs explanation, he then continues, ”The fifth figure must be an important Supernatural, our second objective is to find out the fifth figure and catch it if possible”

Hearing this, Rex nodded his head, ʼItʼs going to be a hard couple of daysʼ

After explaining, Devan and Rex talked with each other with light topics and they got closer at least not a stranger anymore.

Just as Rex was looking outside the window, seeing the streets that are passing before he can even see it, his phone rings.

Ting!

He looks at it and found Edward suddenly texted him,

ʼYo Rex, how have you been?ʼ

Rex then replied, ʼIʼm good, a little busy right now. Howʼre you?

ʼAlso doing well here, okay letʼs get straight to the point. I wanted to pay Kyleʼs family a visit if you want to you can comeʼ

Reading this, the day when Kyle sacrifice himself for them seeped through his mind, ʼWhen?ʼ

ʼJust tell me when you can, I have free time so just let me know when youʼre availableʼ

ʼOkayʼ

After chatting with Edward for a bit, Rexʼs eyes become hazy.

He looks at the window feeling sleepy, after blinking a couple of times his eyelids become too heavy before he then falls asleep.

Inside the Black Tiger Guild office,

A man that has his uniform tattered enters the guild office, the crowd looks at him weirdly but he ignored it.

He then walks inside the lift and press the 35th floor signing as the presidentʼs floor,

Arriving on the 35th floor, he immediately greeted by a huge door.

The huge door is dark brown in color, it looks majestic and gives off an invisible pressure around it.

Besides the huge door, a working table is placed neatly with a beautiful blonde woman sitting on it.

The man approaches the woman, ”Iʼd like to meet the president, it is urgent. Iʼm from the team that is sent to Emham Forest”, he said politely.

The secretary glances at the man before she takes the telephone and said, ”Mr. Duncan, thereʼs a man wanting to see you”

Bzztt~

”He said heʼs from the Emham Forest team”

Bzztt~

The secretary puts down the telephone and said, ”You can go inside, donʼt forget to knock”

After getting the permission, the man smiled politely before he went to the door and knock on it.

Duncan is sitting on his chair leisurely with a cigarette in his hand, he looks at the man who just entered the room and frowns.

”What happened?”, he said with an authoritative tone.

The man bowed a bit before replying, ”Iʼm sorry Mr. President, our team are wiped out by an unknown third party”

Hearing this, Duncanʼs face is red as anger started to boil inside him, ”Do you see what they look like?”, he asks calmly.

The calm tone instead brings a heavier vibe more than if he just becomes angry, the man has chills crawling on his spine as he answered stutteringly, ”All...All I know is that they...they donʼt use any mana and...and is probably Unawakened people”

”Are you certain of that?”, Duncan looks at the man intensely.

The man felt like heʼs naked in front of Duncanʼs gaze, he felt any secret can be seen easily by him, ”Yes! I assure you!”

”Are you certain that Rex, Rosie, and Adhara are there? Have you checked?”, Duncan asks again.

The man instantly answered fearing he will displease Duncan, ”Yes! I already ask their classmates and confirms it with others testimony”

Hearing this, Duncan waves his hands before the man immediately bowed and left the room.

He takes a big whiff of smoke and thought, ʼSo theyʼre related to that organization, Iʼm starting to become more certain that one of them is the one who killed my sonʼ, Hatred flashes inside his eyes before he flicks his fingers making the cigarette burns brightly.

After hours of driving, they finally got out of Ratmawati City.

For some reason, Devan doesnʼt want to go by train although it will be faster to get there.

He insisted to use his car and is really stubborn about it, Liliya and Rex finally give up and let Devan drive them to Zrolis City.

Zrolis City is a level three city and it is pretty far, they need to get through a couple of level two cities before arriving at Zrolis City.

The car then stops when they arrive at Nerphia City, a level two city just after they got out of Ratmawati City.

Liliya and Rex gives Devan a questioning gaze, ”I got business to take care of a bit, Iʼll be back in an hour or two”

”Wait, we canʼt be this late. The guild is already attacking today, we need to be present to get the best time to sneak in”, Rex rebutted.

Devan looks at him and said, ”Just a bit okay, Iʼll be back as soon as possible. Go to that bar over there, I will meet you guys there”

Rex face-palm his face, ʼWell heʼs a rich guy, heʼs probably busy but I hope he will prioritize our mission first. No, based on his serious expression before he does prioritize this mission so why is he still going there first?ʼ

He then shakes his head not wanting to think about it before he goes to the driving seat, Rex looks at the insides and felt dizzy.

ʼAs expected of a sports car, even the insides are nowhere near any normal carsʼ, Rex thought but thankfully he manages to drive the car safely to the bar.

”You coming?”, Rex ask Liliya.

Liliya hesitated for a bit, she looks nervous for some reason, ”I donʼt bring cash”

”Donʼt worry, Iʼll pay for you”, Rex said before they both got out of the car and went inside the bar.
