The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 105: Bloody Mirror

”LADIES AND GENTLEMAN!!”

”ITS THE DAY WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!! THE TOURNAMENT, THE FIGHT, THE RUMBLE... OF THE NEW TYRANT AGAINST THE LOCAL TYRANT!! OCHYRA UNIVERSITY!! AND FARADAY UNIVERSITY!!”

”WOOOO!!”

The crowd burst with excitement as the announcer called out both universities, it is really hype and crowded with thousands of people gather around the Ring of Tenacity.

It is more hectic compared to the opening, people stack against each other on the first floor.

The day where Rosieʼs fate will be determined has come, and the miss of the hour is currently fidgeting her hands in the backroom.

Rosie felt immense pressure from the tournament, her expression is pale as cold sweat run down her forehead.ʼ

For her, this tournament is not just a tournament. It is her life.

Adhara came from the side, she comforts Rosie, ”Itʼs okay you donʼt have to be so nervous, itʼs just a tournament. You just need to do your best, Iʼm sure youʼll be fine”

Rosie nodded her head, ʼIf itʼs just a tournament, then I wonʼt be this nervousʼ

She then glances at Rex who is looking through the weapon provided, he notices Rosie staring at him.

He glances back and smiles reassuringly,

Seeing this, Rosie averted her gaze, ʼItʼs Rex, thereʼs no way he will lose instantly against Kevinʼ

Meanwhile, Rex is also nervous because of the burden.

ʼCalm down, youʼll be alright even with the 30% stats reduction. No worriesʼ, Rex thought, heʼs trying to calm himself down.

Although he looks calm on the outside, he ran through each sword to ease down his nerve.

He tries each of the swords but he doesnʼt feel comfortable with all of them, ʼThese swords are not compatible with meʼ

Rex takes a random sword, he approaches Hera and said, ”Ms. Hera, I will go look if they have any other weapons”

”Whatʼs wrong with these ones? Thereʼre 10 swords and youʼre telling me thereʼs none to your liking?”, she said.

Rex shrugs his shoulders, ”Nope, let me just look the other I wonʼt be long”, he holds the random sword while leaving the backroom.

”It will start in thirty minutes! So please come back before then”, Hera shouted.

ʼWell, Faraday University sent assassins to test me. I donʼt trust the weapons they providedʼ, he thought.

While thinking this, Rex is unsure of his nervousness.

Heʼs unsure whether heʼs skeptical or because he needs fresh air. Or perhaps both.

Rex went out of the backroom, he walks past the robots guarding the backroom.

ʼWhere can I find weapons? the System? but I donʼt want to use my gold for a one-time use thingʼ, Rex though, he mainly use battle gloves so buying a sword with the little gold left makes him uncertain.

He went to the hallway aimlessly, heʼs uncertain as to what will he do.

The backroom entrance is in the basement, theyʼre not using the regular entrance because of how packed the first floor is.

It is specially made for contestants to prepare,

Faraday Universityʼs backroom entrance is on the other side, so Rex wonʼt meet Kevin here.

Rex paces around the hallway aimlessly, he then decided to went to the bathroom to wash his face.

Arriving at the bathroom, he roughly tossed the sword and turns on the sink,

He then washes his face,

Splash!

ʼWhatʼs wrong with me, why am I feeling so uneasy for some reasonʼ, Rex thought.

Although Rex felt nervous about the upcoming match, he shouldnʼt be this nervous.

He felt his breaths are heavier than usual, the air around him felt suffocating as he loosens the button on his collar.

While he washes his face, he suddenly realizes.

ʼWait, the SCO is an anti Awakened organization. I use Black Lightning in front of the whole world yesterday, they certainly will know about itʼ, Rex thought.

He didnʼt pay any attention because of the moment hype but now he realizes what he did.

Rex leans his hand on the wall, ʼIs that why I unconsciously get nervous? Because Iʼm scared that the SCO will find out? No...ʼ

He scoops the water from the sink and splashes it on his face,

But then, he felt something wrong.

Rex opened his eyes, he jolted back when he saw the water he splash to his face turns into blood.

”Whatʼs happening?! What?”, he steps back unconsciously.

The blood on his hand is so thick, the smell of blood infiltrates his sense.

He looks at his hand and he can see it is filled with blood, the sink is also spewing blood and it started to spill on the floor.

Rex was shocked, he didnʼt know how did this had all happen.

He then looks at the mirror and what he saw greatly shocked him to his core,

In the mirror, he saw a horrifying creature that is bathed with blood.

Her body is covered with blood from head to toe, sheʼs standing on a weird symbol with chains on four of her limbs. They seem to be doing a ritual, all of them are chanting weird chants as the creature struggled to break free.

The creatureʼs eyes are blazing red with weird black patterns in them, it was horrifying.

While Rex gazes into this creatureʼs eyes, the creature suddenly stopped struggling.

Rex held his breath unconsciously, his eyes started to widen when he saw the creatureʼs head slowly turn in his direction.

She stares at Rexʼs eyes directly, a smile crept on her face revealing four sharp fangs.

The creature then stretches out her hand and points at Rex, her red blazing eyes started to shed tears of blood.

Rexʼs heart thumps faster, the creature seems to points directly at his soul.

A creepy smile appeared on the creatureʼs face, she then whispers lightly, ”I...will find you”,

”AAHH!!”

Rex shouted as his surroundings turn back to normal, heʼs gasping for air.

ʼWhat was that?

Just as Rex wondered, a system notification appeared in front of him.

The user has triggered a curse creating a connection between the user and the cursed creature, it is a very powerful curse that will bound with the user eternally until the user dies. Find a way to break the curse!

Quest Reward will be calculated based on the userʼs performance.

Quest Failure: The user will die

Rex looks at this with a huge shock, he still didnʼt know what happened and where the quest came from.

He touches his chest with heavy breaths, ʼWhat the hell was that?ʼ

ʼSystem what was that? What happened to me?ʼ, Rex asks, he can only rely on the system during these times.

Reading this, Rex asks again, ʼI know that, but how did I trigger it?ʼ

The system didnʼt answer even after he waits for a while, the systemʼs silence makes Rex felt troubled.

After the incident, Rex takes his sword and left the place. He didnʼt even turn off the sink.

The words from the creature he saw are still reverberating in his mind, he canʼt shake it off.

Rex grabbed the door handle and opens it but was startled, thereʼs a person standing in front of the door.

The person was also startled but quickly change her expression to normal,

Looking at her, Rex was confused, ”I think youʼre on the wrong toilet, the girl toilet is over there”, he said.

He walks past the woman, his mind is filled with many things right now.

”You must be Rex Silverstar”, a soothing voice crept to Rexʼs ears, the woman called out to him.

Hearing this, Rex frowns, ʼNow that I remember, this place can only be entered by Ochyra University representativesʼ

Rex turns his body and said, ”Who are you?”

The woman looks graceful, her slender legs, her upright posture, and even the way she walks gave a noble vibe to it.

There is a sword on her waist, it looks gorgeous from a glance.

ʼThatʼs definitely a high-ranking sword, sheʼs definitely from some well-known familyʼ, Rex thought.

Her high heels click every time she steps, ”I thought you will recognize me, Iʼm sad”

Although she said sheʼs sad, Rex can tell sheʼs just pretending.

Rex got even more confused, he never has a hard time remembering peopleʼs faces so if he didnʼt recognize someone then heʼs sure he never met them.

”Iʼm sorry, we never met before”, Rex shrugs her remarks.

The woman chuckles lightly, her slow stead steps were light and graceful, ”Well considering you made fun of my brother using me, I thought that you recognize me”

ʼBrother?ʼ, Rex thought, he then realizes who this woman is.

”So, youʼre Kevinʼs older sister”, Rex said, he realizes that this woman in front of him is Kevinʼs sister.

Well now that he realizes it, the similarity becomes evident in his eyes.

Her red hair matches exactly with Kevinʼs, her silky smooth skin added with her fine delicate face gives her a graceful look.

The woman smiles gently, she then said, ”I never met someone as daring as you, Iʼm impressed”

Rex chuckles, ”Well it seems Ms. Luc, you havenʼt met a man yet”

”I clearly havenʼt indeed”, she replied with a smile.

The womanʼs aura makes Rex felt uneasy, he wanted to taunt her and go but somehow her aura makes him unable to come out with the words he wants.

He then said, ”Why are you here Ms. Luc”

”Iʼm just here to say hi, and to thank you for making me laugh”, she said gracefully.

She then glances at Rexʼs sword, ”Thatʼs not a sword for a top student”, she said while looking at the basic sword Rex held.

Rex got embarrassed, ”I donʼt normally use a sword, I only use it for the Manticore”

”Ah Manticore, yes, quite a beast I must say”, she mumbles, her hands then travel to the sword hilt before she suddenly takes the sword out.

BLITZ!

Rex jumped back, her movements startled him.

The woman waves the sword in front of her, it is blitzing with electricity even when the woman just held it in front of her.

She then smiles, ”Silver Copious Sword, made by a rank seven Heaven Lightning Elementalist”

Rex looks at the sword and was instantly mesmerized,

The sword waves majestically under the womanʼs hand, its roar of sharpness can even be heard as it cut through the wind.

The cross-guard spread with two dragon heads, there is a blue jewel on its center.

Looking at Rex who is mesmerized by the sword, the woman smiles before she tossed the sword to Rex.

Tap!

Rex caught the sword, he was confused but the sword distracted him.

The blitzing cry of lightning reverberated in his ears, he can feel the heaviness of the sword and it feels perfect.

He touches the sword, the electricity didnʼt attack him. In contrast, it became subtle.

Rex ran through his fingers on the detailed lines on the swordʼs fuller, he was mesmerized by the sword as he gave it a few swings.

BLITZ!

It dances through the air beautifully, one word came to his mind. Impeccable!

”You like the sword?”

The womanʼs voice snapped Rex back to reality, ”Itʼs impeccable, I never saw a sword this beautiful”

Although Rex doesnʼt consider himself as a sword expert, with years of training in the Special Reconnaissance, he has his share of swords.

And out of all of them, this sword is the best he ever wield.

The woman walks closer to Rex,

She reaches out her hands and fixes Rexʼs collar gently, ”Iʼll let you borrow the sword”, she said.

After fixing Rexʼs collar, her hands slowly went down to Rexʼs pocket before she continues, ”Just donʼt forget to give it back to me”

She taps Rexʼs pocket a couple of times before she turns her body.

The woman walks along the corridor gracefully, she stopped at the end of the hallway before she glances at Rex.

”Nice to meet you, Sir Rex Silverstar. And, Good Luck!”, she said before she disappears around the corner.

Rex was stunned, he looks at the sword in his hand and thought, ʼHow did she know I will use a swordʼ

ʼMore importantly, I forgot to ask her nameʼ, he then remembers the scene before.

Rex checks his pocket and found a note there,

He opened the note, ”157-555... Call me if you want to meet, Evelyn Luc”

Reading this, Rex looked back to where Evelyn disappear and mumbles, ”Evelyn huh...”
