The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 146: He Really Didnʼt Lie

Leaving the house,

Rex then said to Adhara and Edward, ”Edward, I need you to do something. I want you to go to Emham Forest, and go to exactly where I tell you”

He tells Edward about the Cluster Domain, he told Edward that itʼs a secret place.

Hearing this, Edward didnʼt question Rex because he trusts Rex in anything he does whether it is bad or good.

Rex thought that him going there will be a bad idea, his face is known by many.

Edward on the other hand, heʼs from Faraday University so surely there are not many people who know about him in this area.

”Adhara, you will go with me to try and find out who weʼre dealing with here”, Rex said.

From the wooden box content, Rex got one lead.

The powerful spellbooks are for Wind Elementalist, so to find who theyʼre dealing with they need to find the wind element-based family that has many powerful Awakened.

Edward then added, ”If youʼre searching for Wind-based families, you can just search it on the internet. Theyʼre famous, so surely you can run them down”

After saying that, Rex nodded his head.

But when Edward wanted to leave with the box, Rex said, ”Edward, be careful. Watch your six, they might already know weʼre the thief”

If that guy Kyran said is really got caught by their enemies, then he will surely give out the details about Kyranʼs posture.

Kyran is wearing an all-black outfit, his face is covered by a black mask leaving only his eyes to see. And assuming that thereʼs an Awakened that is able to trace Kyran, then they will surely be on their tails in a bit.

Edward nodded his head before he put the wooden box in a black bag he brought to put his uniform, he then goes to Emham Forest.

After he left,

Adhara went inside and told Kyran to not leave the house after giving him contact lenses Rex bought from the system, itʼs too risky for him to roam around.

There are many Awakened with high perception, his eyes will certainly give him away.

So thatʼs why Rex bought two turquoise contact lenses to change Kyranʼs eyes color, it will at least become an extra layer of caution.

Then, Rex and Adhara went to the universityʼs library.

They both occupy a quiet room and started to do their research, they need to find who theyʼre dealing with quickly.

”Thereʼre seven-family candidates that may be the one that owned these spellbooks, itʼs the Granlor, Atkins, Seaton, Shelford, Reed, and Quentin family”, Rex said.

He saw the rankings online and thereʼs a list of them, these are all families with Wind Element affinities.

Adhara then replied, ”Which one has many powerful Awakened”

Rex looks at the lists,” Based on these lists, the Atkins, Reed, and Granlor have many Awakened above rank seven. It will be between these three”

The Atkins, Reed, and Granlor are ranked 9, 11, and 17 respectively.

They are all more powerful than the Platchiʼs who is ranked number 25, it will be between these three that owned the spellbooks.

”How do we know which one is it?”, Adhara asks with a frown.

Rex is also confused, he didnʼt know which families have a connection with the Platchi to make them a courier for their valuable spellbooks.

ʼThe Spellbooks seems new, so that means thereʼs a pioneer making behind itʼ, Rex thought.

He then opens the notification when he scans the three spellbooks, he didnʼt read it all because heʼs too focused on confirming if itʼs real or not.

A supreme magic spellbook that can only be learned by rank 7 or above Wind Elementalist, it will create a domain of storm that will enhance the casterʼs stats multiple times. It will also allow the caster to transport around the domain turning the casterʼs body into wind.

Reading this, Rex frowns because he canʼt find the maker of the spellbook.

He then told Adhara to call Edward and asks him to see the maker of the book, itʼs a crucial lead for their research.

”Edward, can you see the pioneer that makes the spell”, Adhara asks on the phone.

Edward answered whisperingly, ”Do you need it now? Iʼm still on public space”

”Yes, we need it right now”, Adhara replied.

After saying that, Edward can be heard moving to a quieter place before he got back on the phone and said, ”Itʼs...Shane Thompson”

Edward found the maker not in the spellbook, but inside the box.

Thereʼs a black paper with the name ʼShane Thompsonʼ on it, he found it weird for a spellbook to not have the pioneer who makes it written in the spellbook.

”Thereʼs no maker written in the spellbook, I found the name from a black paper inside the box”, Edward added, he found it weird so he decided to share it.

Hearing this, Adhara immediately hangs up and tells Rex the name.

Rex then searches the internet and found no records of a pioneer called Shane Thompson, he instantly slouches his back helplessly.

ʼI canʼt get these kinds of information on the internetʼ, Rex thought.

Adhara also tries to find Shane Thompson to no avail, she canʼt find them too.

Both of them fall into thought, finding information about someone who can create a powerful spell like this certainly canʼt be found easily.

Rex massages his forehead with a frown, he canʼt think of how to find this.

But then, he suddenly remembered something, ʼI have no choice, I need to ask help from himʼ, Rex thought.

He then dialed a number before he put the phone on his ears.

Ring...

After ringing for a couple of times, the person on the other side answered, ”Rex, What is it? Do you want to move in right now?”

”Sir Principal, I want to ask you a favor. Iʼll certainly pay it back”, Rex said convincingly.

But then, the principal intervened, ”What are you talking about, if you have something to say just say it. This old man will certainly hear you”

Hearing that the Principal is welcoming, Rex then said, ”I want to ask you a favor of finding a pioneer called Shane Thompson...”

”Shane Thompson huh”, the principal replied slowly.

Meanwhile, Edward is on the train.

He didnʼt want to use his car because it can get tracked, thatʼs why he decided to go to Emham Forest by train.

Itʼs not that far, but the train is safer.

Edward is currently wearing a denim jacket with a white T-shirt, his face is covered by a black hat, and thereʼs a black bag in his hand.

It looks ordinary but if people know the content, they will throw up blood.

The is full of people, Edward decided to ride the economic train with many people inside. He wanted to blend with the people to avoid suspicion, it will also act as his shield.

No Awakened will dare attack him with so many people around, the UWO will not like that.

The train started moving as Edward fixed his hat,

But then, he suddenly senses that someone is looking at him too long for them to just be daydreaming on the train.

Edward sneakily glances at the man and finds the man who turns his head away.

ʼAre they following me? Thereʼs no way we got caught so fast right?ʼ, Edward thought as he planned his way of escape.

Just after the train stopped, the people started to go out.

At the exact time, Edward immediately ducks down and goes out of the train while sticking close with people.

He then senses that the man is looking for him, ʼHeʼs following me!ʼ

Edward then walks while ducking down making other people look at him weirdly, he saw a stall that sells clothes.

Without even the stall keeper seeing, he takes a black hoodie and puts it on.

He threw his denim jacket in the trash can before he puts on the black hoodie, his move is so smooth that no one caught his move.

After he does that, four people arrive at the stall and look around.

Edward saw this before he pulls his hat down and calmly walks away, ʼThereʼs more than one of them, I need to leave this place fastʼ

He then went towards the Emham Forest,

There the security checks him and confirms if heʼs an Awakened or not, Edward shows them his fire powers before he walks inside.

”Hey you, wait a minute”, One of the guards called.

Hearing this, Edward turns to his back slowly and said, ”Is there something wrong?”

Edward tries to be laid back and looks natural, heʼs smiling innocently as he looks at the security that is approaching him.

The security then asks, ”Whatʼs in the bag?”

”The bag? Itʼs my weapon of course”, Edward said calmly, his expression still looks natural without a hint of panic.

Hearing this, the security squinted his eyes and said, ”Show it”

Just after hearing this, Edward puts the bag down and opens it.

While he put his head down, his facial expression changed into a brutal one in a split second.

He then opens the black bag and revealing a wooden box, the security frowns when looking at this as he grabs the gun on his side.

Edwardʼs moves are slow, he opens the wooden box cover slowly.

Just when the securityʼs heart started to beat, the wooden box got opened revealing two red daggers that are emitting a red hue.

”Itʼs just my weapon”, Edward said while taking out his daggers.

Seeing this, the security sighs a sigh of relief and said, ”Sorry for taking your time, please continue”

Edward smiles and said, ”No worries, keep up the good work!”

The spellbooks are already moved by Edward to below the wooden box, itʼs just a precaution if somehow he must let someone see inside the black bag like this.

Thankfully, he does that and manages to fool the security.

He then walks inside Emham Forest where Rex told him, ʼA hollow hole between a broken tree that is crushed by two bouldersʼ, he thought.

Edward looks around and saw two big boulders from the corner of his eyes.

Seeing this, Edwardʼs expression lit up as he dashes towards it but suddenly,

BAM!

A gunshot suddenly was heard from his right as Edward changed trajectory mid-way, his reflex is fast as he avoids the gunshot.

From the side, four people appear out of nowhere.

These four people are the four people that are following him on the train before, Edward remembers their faces clearly.

”I finally found you. Iʼll admit that youʼre good, we almost lost you there”, one of the guy said that is standing in front.

He looks like the leader of the group.

Edward scans all of them and notices that the guy talking is the strongest, from the aura leaking from his body Edward deduces that heʼs a rank five Awakened.

ʼIʼm cornered, I need to go to that holeʼ, Edward thought.

Heʼs stealing glances at the hollow hole that Rex told before,

Rex told Edward that when he entered the hole then he will be safe, the hole can shelter him if anyone manages to catch up to him.

The leader saw Edward glancing to the side, ”Thinking of running?”

”Who are you?”, Edward asks ignoring the leaderʼs remarks, he still doesnʼt know who these people are.

The leader smiles sinisterly, he then said, ”Weʼre here to capture you, We will use you to lure Rex out and then we will kill him”

ʼCatching me? Then that means theyʼre not after the spellbookʼ, Edward thought.

Heʼs afraid that these people are from the powerful family, if they were then Edward will have little to no chance of fighting them off.

The leader then signals the other to catch Edward.

Seeing this, Edward prepares to make a run for it with all he had towards the hole.

His body burns with fire as his muscle bulged, he wanted to dash to the hollow hole but the three already appear beside him.

But then,

ROAR!!!

BOOM!!

The three guys got flung to the side after getting hit by a club, it was too sudden that it caught them off guard.

Edward widened his eyes in surprise,

He looks towards the thing in front of him with a shocked expression, ʼHe really didnʼt lie, how the heck did he find this creatureʼ
