The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 112: Your Best Is Just Not Enough

”Well, here I go!!”

SWOOSH!!

Edward dashes towards Adhara with both of his fists burning with fire, he is even faster than what Adhara expects.

Seeing this, Adhara back away while taking out her dagger.

The training she did behind Rexʼs back makes her comfortable enough to use a dagger in this match, she started to become a dagger wielder just like Edward.

CLANG!

Edwardʼs punch hits Adharaʼs dagger.

From that exchange alone, Adhara was flung back even though she blocked Edwardʼs attack.

Edward smiles cheekily, ”You of all people shouldʼve known this, especially if youʼre hanging around Rex all the time”

Adhara perked up her ears before he continues, ”When fighting an opponent who uses any kind of weapon, there is only one unbreakable rule that you must follow. The first to strike will be the first one to kill”

Hearing this, Adhara frowns. Getting reminded of something about Rex that she doesnʼt know makes her angry for some reason.

Sheʼs born from an ordinary family raised by her father,

Although her father was also from the military, he usually trains Adhara physically, he never teaches anything about combat. or he didnʼt have the time to.

SWOOSH!

Edward flashes again, he was even faster than before.

Seeing this, Adhara activates the green rune on her neck before she tries to dodge Edwardʼs attack.

BAM!

BAM!

Edwardʼs attack was fast and precise, it always changes patterns.

This makes Adhara felt overwhelmed, the feeling is similar to the person who attacks her that night.

Edward aims for her legs but only changes direction to her stomach, his never-ending attacks rain down on her, and many of them manage to hit her.

It was akin to fighting a snake, trying to dodge its head and not realizing that its body already entangled her.

The crowd cheered after seeing Edwardʼs relentless attack, it was a one-sided battle because of Edwardʼs attack patterns.

The momentum makes her jumped back and back before she suddenly bumped into the arenaʼs wall.

Adhara looks to her back and saw the wall is already right behind her, she tries to dodge Edwardʼs attacks and unconsciously already got pinned to the wall.

She looks at Edward and notices the dagger on Edwardʼs side, ʼThat daggers look familiarʼ

”You see now? Momentum is everything. Engaging in close-quarter combat will definitely result in blood, by attacking first will save you from the losing end”, Edward said.

Heʼs trying to teach Adhara even in the middle of the fighting.

”Flaming Scimitars!”

WHOOSH!

Dozens of scimitars appeared above Adharaʼs head, it was hovering idly and it emits a powerful heat that makes it blazing red.

But this heat didnʼt faze Edward, he only looks at Adhara with a smile.

Adhara waves her arms as the fire scimitars surround Edward from all sides like lurking beasts, it trapped Edward in the middle.

”What a powerful spell, I can tell that you hone this one to perfection”, Edward said.

Although he praises Adharaʼs spell, the grin on his face didnʼt disappear in fact it got wider, ”Fire Titan Art, Unbreakable Body!”

Edwardʼs body starting to emit red energy that shields him, a red figure engulfs his body acting like some kind of armor that protects his entire body.

The crowd knows that Edwardʼs fire is of a higher rank than Adharaʼs fire, it was evident from the way Adharaʼs fire swayed meekly when it got exposed to Edwardʼs fire.

Before Edward can even finish, Adahra immediately launches the fire scimitars towards Edward.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

The fire scimitars hit Edward again and again creating a booming sound, fire splashes everywhere as the scimitars exploded after hitting Edward.

It makes the crowd gasp because of the heat emitted from the arena.

Adhara glances at the blazing fire that engulfs Edward, her mind is still focused because she knows that Edward will not lose that easily.

Then, a silhouette appeared in the center of the blazing fire.

Adhara widened her eyes in shock,

Edward walks out of the blazing fire without a dent in the red-figure around his body as if the fire scimitars from Adhara are nothing.

Adhara knows that heʼs strong but to actually came out unscathed is still come as a shock.

Without wasting a single second, Adhara dashes towards Edward while imbuing her dagger with fire.

”Thatʼs it, youʼre starting to learn something”, Edward praised.

CLANG!

Edward didnʼt move from his spot, the dagger collided with the red figure as it got stuck on it.

With all the power she had, Adhara canʼt seem to penetrate Edwardʼs unbreakable body.

It felt like hitting a rock with a wooden dagger, the attack didnʼt hurt Edward at all but in contrast, it hurt Adharaʼs hand because of how rock-solid it is.

”At this point, you can just forget about being by Rexʼs side”, Edward said harshly.

Adhara jumped back to create a distance, her expression darkened, ”Stop telling me that”, she mumbles lightly.

Her hands are trembling slightly, she got hurt by Edwardʼs remarks.

”I know already! I know that I canʼt help him in the slightest, I tried my best okay! I did everything to be stronger!”, she shouted desperately.

She knows from Rex himself that he needs someone that he can rely on, she tried to train in order to be that person.

But instead of getting closer to Rex, the gap between them become even wider.

The tournament today shows Adhara how far away Rex is from her, Rex even manages to reach peak rank three in such a short time.

Rex is growing too fast, she canʼt keep up with him.

Adhara knows perfectly well that the current her will never win against Edward, whatever she does in this fight, she will definitely lose in the end.

Edward is miles stronger than her, and she knows it.

This scene makes Edward shakes his head, he didnʼt expect it to be like this.

BAM!!

Out of nowhere, Edward suddenly appeared beside her as he sent a fiery roundhouse kick directly to Adharaʼs stomach.

”Huakh!!”, Adhara was sent screeching to the other side.

Her body got flung away before stopping a couple of feet away, she spat a mouthful of blood that colors the ground around her.

Adharaʼs body is trembling because of the kick, It hurts her a lot.

She tried so hard to get back on her feet with a dagger in her hand, she manages to do it despite the pain all over her body.

Edward walks towards her slowly, ”It seems your best, is just not enough”, he said while taking the daggers from his sides.

Seeing the red dagger, Adhara widened her eyes.

”That dagger...youʼre the one who ambushed me before!”, she shouted as she realizes.

The white figure that ambushed her that night is also a Fire Elementalist, his movement was precise and calculated, and he also has two red daggers on his side.

It is so similar to Edwardʼs fighting style, the eye-catching red daggers give Edward off.

Hearing this, Edward smiles, ”You caught on, at least youʼre not slow to realize”, he said.

”Why did you ambush me?”, Adhara asks slowly, she thought that the white figure was an enemy that wanted Rex but itʼs actually Edward.

Edward is Rexʼs friend so ambushing her doesnʼt make sense.

Just as Adhara becomes even more confused, Edward turns his head to Rex before he said, ”Why you ask? Of course, Rex is the one who asks me to”

Adhara widened her eyes in shock, she didnʼt understand why Rex would do that.

Edward then continues, ”And from what I experienced, I must say that Iʼm not impressed. Itʼs even a little bit disappointing”

ʼWhy did Rex do that? Is that a test for me? Will he abandon me now that he knows that Iʼm not up to standard?ʼ, Adhara thought in panic.

Sheʼs overthinking the situation, she even got dazed from the arena because of it.

Adhara glances at Rex and saw that Rex turns his head away, he knows that Adhara will lose this before he signals to Edward.

Seeing this, Edward puts the daggers back before his body burns in flame.

From the way Adhara currently looks, she didnʼt have the will to continue to fight anymore.

He then glances at Adhara still with his smile, he raises up his fist that emits terrifying fire energy, ”Goodbye”

”Colossal Punch!”

SWOOSH!

ʼNo, please donʼt! Rex!ʼ, Adhara screamed inside her head as Edwardʼs fists arrive in front of her.

She looks at Rex desperately, before suddenly,

BAM!!

Edwardʼs fist landed solidly on Adharaʼs stomach, it was as fast as lightning and she felt as if she got hit by a car right on her stomach.

”Akhh!!”, She shouted in pain.

BOOM!

Her body got flung like a broken kite before she hits the arena wall creating a web-like crack.

Adharaʼs body got planted on the arena wall, it happened in a flash that even Adhara herself didnʼt get any time to react.

She raises her head to look at Edward with blurry vision.

Not long after, her vision becomes even more blurry as her eyes close amidst the cheer of the crowd.

The scene where Rex turns his head away is the last thing she remembers before she passed out.

The medic team went inside and take Adhara out of the arena.

Adhara fell unconscious because of Edwardʼs punch, it was too heavy even for her half-werewolf body.

Inside the backroom, Rex sighs.

Heʼs not worried about Adharaʼs well-being, sheʼs a half-werewolf so her regenerative ability will definitely help her recover faster.

ʼWell, she got stronger but her opponent is Edward so I donʼt blame herʼ, Rex thought.

Rosie on the other hand is still sitting on the bench, sheʼs currently steadying her breath because of the nervousness that doesnʼt seem to go away.

She saw Adhara got beaten badly by Edward, and that makes her even more nervous.

The third round continues,

After another round where Rex uses his Alpha Intimidation, Kevin started to become suspicious.

All of the Faraday University representatives wake up stating the same thing, they didnʼt know what happened but they suddenly got dazed.

ʼWhat is happening? Who couldʼve caused all of thisʼ, Kevin thought.

His head unconsciously glances at the Ochyra Universityʼs backroom, out of all the possibilities his hunch is telling him that Rex did it.

The fight keeps on going with Rex helping his teammates.

He keeps using his Alpha Intimidation and it always works because his Mental Stats is overwhelmingly high for early rank four even when itʼs weakened.

Thanks to Whiroʼs Necklace, his mental stats got boosted by 30 which is a lot.

ʼAlpha Intimidation is the best skill I currently have, it is overwhelmingly useful as long as my mental stat is highʼ, Rex thought.

Because of this day, he realizes the Alpha Intimidation skill he has is very strong.

He decided to groom this skill because he thought that the skill will keep on being useful, 30% stats decrease is a lot.

ʼSystem, how may Skill Upgrade do I need to upgrade Alpha Intimidation skill?ʼ

Reading this, Rex frowns.

20 Skill Upgrade is a lot, even if he combined all of the Skill Upgrade he got until now heʼs still short a couple of Skill Upgrade.

ʼItʼs so expensive, what is this Alpha Bearing skill do?ʼ, Rex asks.

He was curious to what kind of powerful skill it turns into for it to require an astonishing 20 Skill Upgrade.

The userʼs body will radiate the bearing of an Alpha, everything with lower mental stat who gaze onto the user will have their stats decreased by 30%. The userʼs presence will bring imminent fear to lower life forms, and the fear effect can be stacked.

Seeing this, Rexʼs eyes bulge in shock.

Alpha Bearing skill is a very powerful skill, it can decrease anything that gazes onto him.

ʼThis skill is basically Alpha Intimidation that can affect countless enemy, unlike Alpha Intimidation that can only be used to one personʼ, Rex thought.

Because of reading this, he really wants to learn this skill.

It was akin to a debuff to anything Rex fights, it is an effective skill that is made to fight multiple enemies at once.

While Rex was thinking, Hera and the others were cheering happily.

They manage to get the lead somehow making Faraday feel threatened to lose the tournament, they all didnʼt know that all of their wins are thanks to Rex.

Just then, Rosie suddenly got up from her seat.

Rex notices this, he glances at Rosie and finds her trembling slightly as she walks to the gate.

ʼItʼs her turn?ʼ, Rex thought.

Because of his conversation with the system, he didnʼt hear Rosie got called.

Rosie didnʼt talk to him as she went straight for the gates, it was so unlike Rosie that makes Rex quite surprised.

ʼWhatʼs wrong with her?ʼ, Rex thought.
