The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 71: Ambush

Rex carries Calidora and brought her back to the others,

Liliya is lying on the ground, her body is in a weakened state as she reaches out inside her robe with her trembling hand.

She takes out a vial of Elixir that has a green substance in it, she gulped it down in one go before throwing it away.

Devan on the other hand is leaning on a tree, the elixir he got from Rex is already empty during their way to here so thereʼs no more elixir to heal his exhaustion.

Rex lay Calidora below a tree, he then checks on Liliya.

”Liliya, you alright?”, Rex asks as he inspects Liliyaʼs injury that is starting to heal.

The light injury is healing at a visible rate but her broken arm will not heal in this short time, she needs to get to a doctor or a high-level elixir to heal it.

Liliya smiles bitterly and said, ”You caught her?”

Rex nodded his head before pointing at Calidora under a tree.

Looking at this, Liliya then closes her eyes with steady breaths, ”Let me rest for a bit”, she mutters weakly.

After confirming Liliyaʼs state, Rex looks at the Haltijas corpse and thought, ʼTheyʼre really strong, they manage to block Liliyaʼs most powerful attack from harming Calidora. There is not even a dent on her bodyʼ

Devan walks slowly from afar and said, ”We still need to go check on the Silver Mooncress...”

Hearing this, Rex was surprised.

He almost forgot about the Silver Mooncress,

Rex looks at the others and frowns, ”You and Liliya are not in a state for fighting, it will be suicide sneaking into Zrolis City with your current state”, he said firmly.

Devan and Liliya didnʼt argue, they both know their own state.

”Thereʼs no other choice then, Iʼll go alone”, Rex said with determination, he looks noble but truthfully he just wanted to see if he can steal the Silver Mooncress instead.

Devan denied immediately, ”No! You canʼt possibly sneak inside alone”

Rex smirked, ”Donʼt worry, I wonʼt die that easily. Just keep an eye on the princess, I just knocked her out”

Devan wanted to deny even more but he saw Rexʼs stubborn look and decided to let him be, ʼIf heʼs confident in surviving then I just need to trust himʼ, he thought before giving up on holding Rex back.

After nodding his head, Rex left the place heading back to Zrolis City.

The cold night wind breeze past Rexʼs body, it makes his hair stand on end.

The dark swamp shouldʼve been a place no humans visited during the night, the mutated animals are more active at night. Any normal person shouldʼve been afraid but not Rex.

He is rushing towards Zrolis City, the mutated animals that attacked him got swatted by him dead.

Rex also didnʼt forget to take another route around the river being as far as possible from the cursed creatureʼs territory, thatʼs the only thing that can threaten him in this swamp.

After running for quite a while, Rex suddenly stops on his track.

His Supernatural Senses are tingling, he jumped up to the nearby trees and scout in front of him.

Rexʼs eyes are put to full use, he saw many Supernatural around the back entrance of Zrolis City preparing a cargo and making so much noise.

It is full of Supernaturals, they are all gathered there but all of them are low-rank.

ʼThey started their strategy, the high-rank Supernatural should be on...ʼ, Just as he was thinking he suddenly realized.

His body went stiff as he looks around, ʼTheyʼre supposed to make an ambush for the humans guild here!!ʼ

Just as he wants to run away as far as possible, ”HUMANS!”, a rough roar was heard from below.

Rexʼs body went stiff, ʼShit they caught me!ʼ

Before he decided to make a run for it, he felt many bloodthirsty aura exploded below him. The aura numbered in hundreds! There are even some that reach rank 6!

ROAR!!

The Supernatural dashes forward, Rex was helpless to the situation but suddenly they rush past him.

Rex who is on top of the tree didnʼt get attacked, he looks to where the Supernatural is heading and saw a battalion of humans sneaking inside the swamp taking the bait from the noise on the back entrance.

The battalion of humans clad in white and blue uniform was caught off guard, they didnʼt expect the Supernatural to set a trap for them here.

”Itʼs a trap!! Fire the help signal now!!”, a middle-aged woman ordered, sheʼs wearing a blue and white uniform with a blue cape on her back. Sheʼs emitting a pressuring aura of a commander, her blue eyes are fierce but now it is flickering with surprise.

Three humans of the battalion glow with red energy, a red circle appear below their feet emitting intense red smoke that makes their hairs flutters.

They held their arms upwards, the fire mana bubbled around their body before concentrating on their hands,

PIUUU!

A red ball of light shot out from their hands, it intertwined in a circle with each other before it exploded.

BOOM!!

The red ball of light exploded like a firework, it is eye-catching, especially during the night.

Hordes of Supernatural come out endlessly from their hiding spots, their number seems endless as a fight breaks out between the humans and Supernaturals.

The humans are overwhelmed, they are caught off guard so the Supernatural already take out a bunch of them before they manage to regroup.

Liches, Ogres, and Grendels attacks the human battalion from all sides,

They run rampant killing every human that caught in their paths, it is a gory scene where limbs flew everywhere.

The brown ground turned red, blood bathes the battlefield in red.

”AARGHH!! HELP!!”, one of the humans cried out in agony, its hands are severed from his body.

The human canʼt cried for long before his head were bitten off by the Grendels, Supernaturals have no mercy as they brutally attack all of the humans they found.

Some of the humans can also stand their ground, they fire a barrage of bullets imbued with mana that pierces the Supernaturals.

BOOM!!

With one barrage of bullets, tens of Supernaturals died instantly.

The humans cheered in joy, the fight starting to look in their favor. They reloaded their guns and prepares for a second barrage,

BOOM!!

They expect the Supernaturals to die even more but suddenly,

SHIINGG!!

Blockage of ice exploded from the ground intercepting the bullets, it makes the battlefield trembles as it pierced the ground.

The commander of the humans glances to the ice, she squinted her eyes and saw a couple of liches chanting behind the horde.

She gritted her teeth, ”LICHES!! Wind Elementalists follow me!”, she raises her sword, her sword just pierced two Grendels that are still stuck on the sword.

She waves her sword slashing the Grendels apart before pointing to the liches.

Looking at the commander dominating the battlefield, the human battalion becomes more ferocious.

The commander dashes while slashing her way through the Supernaturals, her sword glows with a blue hue as she massacred the Supernaturals standing in her way.

She looks elegant with her sword style under the moonlight, she is dancing her way towards the liches.

Ten soldiers that are covered with green hue appeared beside her, they all rush through relentlessly.

Many of the Supernaturals tries to block them but they are easily dealt with,

The liches started to panic, they chanted even faster trying to finish the spell they are casting.

A pack of Grendels intercepts the commander led by a muscular Ogre, its eyes are bloodshot as it holds a fierce club on its hand with spikes around it.

It slammed its gigantic club towards the commander,

BAM!!

The commander dodges to the side by somersaulting over it, ”Ice Blizzard!”, she shouted as she pierces her sword through the ogreʼs head.

STAB!!

The sword easily pierced through the ogreʼs head,

The commander stays still for a while before ice mana gathers around the tip of her sword, it is getting more intense before suddenly.

BURST!!

Ice spike exploded from the ogreʼs inside, it pierced through the ogreʼs body from the inside before dropping dead.

She glances towards the liches and widened her eyes, she is too late!

The liches already finished their spells, a gigantic sword appears above their heads and it is violently emitting an ice aura.

Every inch of the battlefield felt their skin gets prickled by the ice mana,

”Ice Magic! Sword of Airʼqaghas!”, the liches chanted in a union, the sword glint before it shot forward faster than lightning.

A monstrous dark icy aura covered the battlefield, itʼs like they are transported into a snowy place because of the drop in temperature. The sword is like a judgment sword sent by the devil towards the humans.

The humans are suffocated, their hearts beat faster as if there is a devil staring at them directly.

The commander gritted her teeth, ʼIf I let that went through, everyone behind me will die!ʼ, she thought.

Her eyes flash, she pierced her sword to the ground.

The ice mana around the place got sucked into her, her hair is swaying because of the ice mana around her that is rushing violently.

”Ice goddess Amaris, daughter of Ashanda. Heed my call, grant me the power to destroy my enemy”, the commander chanted violently, she grabs her sword and pulls it out slowly.

As the commander takes out the sword, the ice mana circulating around the sword becomes stronger and stronger. The sword glows dark blue as multiple runes appeared on it.

SHING!!

She held the sword in front of her, her eyes glow icy blue.

The commander gets into her stance, ”ICE TEAR!!”, she shouted as she slashed her sword.

The icy blue aura around the sword shot creating a blue cleave that seems unstoppable! It illuminated the night with bright blue light, it evaporates every Supernatural that accidentally got in its way.

SWOOSH!!

The Supernatural was scattering around trying to avoid the blue cleave but only some of them manage to dodge the attack.

In a flash, both of the attacks collided with each other.

BOOM!!

Both of the attacks struggle against each other, they pushed each other back fiercely as shockwaves sending everyone near it flying away unable to handle the shockwaves.

The struggle is fierce but one can see the sword from the liches is winning.

Looking at this, the wind Elementalist beside the commander nodded their head in a union. They muster every strength that they have and sent them towards the cleave, sweats started to appear on each of their foreheads as their mana got exhausted.

Upon getting power from the wind mana, the cleave shook vigorously as it becomes stronger.

The cleave made by ice mana becomes sharper, the wind mana is like a drug making the cleave stronger as it pushes the sword back before suddenly,

BOOM!!

It exploded sending powerful shockwaves to the surrounding,

The shockwave is so strong that the outer swamp and Zrolisʼ city wall got flatten, it is so destructive that even the battlefield doesnʼt get spared.

Even Rex who is watching from quite far away doesnʼt get spared from the impact, the trees heʼs standing on collapse. He even got pushed away unable to handle the shockwave.

ʼSo strong!ʼ, Rex thought while gripping the ground to resist the shockwave.

After the shockwave passed, Rex gets up and looks at the battlefield.

The battlefield is in a mess, corpses of humans and Supernaturals lied everywhere around the battlefield.

For untrained people, they will probably vomit because of the scene.

The dust and smoke faded away, Rex saw the commander got her uniform tattered. Her fierce demeanor from before is nowhere to be seen, she is bloodied all over and she can only maintain her stand with her sword as a support.

Although many die because of the impact, some of them survived.

But from Rexʼs perspective, it is over for humans because many Supernatural survived due to their enhanced physique while only a handful of humans survives.

The commander looks in the lichʼs direction and found only two of them are dead from five, it is not a good trade.

Just as the commander wanted to regroup,

AOOOOUUUU!!!

A long fierce howl was heard from the swampʼs direction,

The commander glanced in the swamp direction and saw a Werewolf there, it is growling while grinding its teeth.

Itʼs emitting a dark aura, the killing intent coming out of this one Werewolf is so terrifying that makes the commanderʼs scalp twitch.

But then, a couple more of Werewolf appears from behind.

1...

2...

5...

8!

There are eight werewolves in total! and they are all as strong as the first Werewolf or stronger!

The humans lost all of their will to fight, they stare at the pack of Werewolves that appeared out of nowhere with a hollow gaze.

The commander also trembles, she canʼt believe what sheʼs seeing, ʼIf only we didnʼt get ambushed, dealing with them will be much easierʼ, she thought.

Red eyes glanced fiercely at the humans, itʼs like a predator looking at its prey.

The Werewolf looks to the surrounding, they sniffed for a moment before landing their eyes on the commander.
