The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 496: State of the War

After the Wolf Moon is over and every feeling brought by the full moon is gone, Kyran went back to Ratmawati City bringing with him Duncanʼs wife that is being carried by him unconscious.

Duncan of course asks about what happened to his wife but sheʼs simply unconscious.

Kyran didnʼt tell him anything aside from sheʼs not harmed in any way and itʼs all Rexʼs instruction, just mentioning Rexʼs name alone is enough to make Duncan ask no further. Everything about Rex is mysterious, and he is better off not knowing too much.

If he knows too much then who knows, he may be hunted for that information.

Rex is revered and also hated amongst the 25 Golden Crest Families, heʼs an anomaly amongst the rank but his power and mysteriousness make the other families wary of him.

Each one of them knows that messing with an anomaly will have a huge amount of risk.

Because of the endearing image that Rex instills in the other 25 Golden Rank Families by killing Wesley Atkins through obscene and unknown methods, the other families are not willing to risk their families just to annoy Rex further.

After dropping Duncanʼs wife back, Kyran went straight to the mansion.

Upon reaching the mansion all of the Awakened guards bowed a little in respect of Kyran, he then got inside the mansion and saw Edward already sitting in the guest room with what seemed to be a representative from the UWO.

Kyran arrived just in time for the representative was about to leave,

Last night after taking care of Gistella and Evelyn for a moment, Edward went back because the mansion canʼt be left alone and Ryze needs him to suppress the dragonʼs soul inside of him.

Edward becomes Rexʼs substitute every time someone wanted to see him.

”Good day to you sir Edward, and I hope the Silverstar Family can fulfill the quota before the due time. If you have anything to ask, please feel free to call me”, the UWO representative said politely.

After saying that, the UWO representative went out of the mansion with a slight nod to Kyran.

Looking back at Edward that is reading the papers in front of him, Kyran sits on the sofa opposite him and asks, ”Did it go as expected? You donʼt seem to be that troubled”

”I manage to lessen the quota by 30%, but itʼs still too much for us”, Edward mutters with a frown.

But upon hearing this, Kyran stood back up intending to go to his room. While walking away, Kyran then said, ”Rex plans to ask the Hester Family about that matter, but he doesnʼt want to sit in front of the Hester Family in a losing game”

”He wants to be on equal grounds or else he will be taken advantage of”, he added.

Hearing this, Edward glance at Kyran with still a frown on his face, ”Equal ground? Did the Hester Family do something to us?”, he asks while putting down the papers in his hands.

”A messenger was sent here a couple of days ago, he managed to infiltrate our mansion”

”Weʼre also coming to meet with the Hester Family in order to ask for a favor, thereʼs no point talking to the Hester Family about this if we donʼt know or have anything about them”, Kyran replied.

Edward nodded his head in agreement, ”I see...”, negotiating without power is a losing game.

Thereʼs no point in negotiating in that kind of setting.

”But how can we find something regarding the Hester Family? They are the second rank family in the 25 Golden Crest, surely itʼs going to be hard to approach them let alone find something that matters about them”, Edward said, his way is thinking is logical.

Fighting the Atkins Family is already hard enough, but the Hester Family is not just the top ten families. They are one of the top 3 families, thereʼs a huge jump between them.

Kyran then turns his body around to face Edward before he said, ”Thatʼs where I come in...”

”If I really wanted to, no one can sense my presence, not even Wesley can sense me. Rex even gave me the Astral Blanket, and with this, even a ninth rank Awakened will probably not sense me”

”Whoever the head of the Hester Family is, he or she wonʼt know when Iʼm standing in front of them”

After saying that, Kyran disappears from Edwardʼs vision.

Edward knows that amongst the other people that are close with Rex, heʼs currently the weakest since he just broke through to the sixth rank. Kyran is arguably the second strong, and heʼs a nightmare incarnate since his presence is very light.

Just like he said, added with the Astral Blanket heʼs practically invisible to the eye.

If Kyran decided to slit Edwardʼs throat right now then he definitely can do it, and that alone can give a chill to anyone knowing that they can die without them seeing the attacker.

With the disappearance of Kyran, Edward leans back on the sofa.

ʼI want to meet with Zelene and Uncle, these days are very exhausting. But Itʼs probably best for me to train the Disaster Squad further as an Awakened, I can also try and breakthrough to the next realm. What do you think?ʼ

[Donʼt meet those two, letʼs just train. Weʼre too weak right now, itʼs better to train!]

[At this moment, you canʼt even bring out my power properly. Go train right now!]

ʼAlright, alright, thereʼs no need to shoutʼ, Edward stood up from the sofa with a heavy sigh, he then head out of the mansion intending to go to the training ground.

Meanwhile,

Rex right now is blending into the crowd while keeping his eyes on the surroundings.

The city heʼs in right now is currently very packed with people walking around left and right doing their daily lives as normal regular humans, many of them seems to be working as a miner judging from their outfit and pickaxe in their hands.

ʼIt seems this cityʼs main source of business is mining elemental stones...ʼ, Rex thought.

But soon Rex shakes his head and focuses on the task at hand, heʼs now hunting for people that got their minds controlled by the Succubusses that he killed. Well, his berserk self kills to be exact.

With his very sharp senses, he can feel a subtle demonic aura from all sides of the city.

Since the succubusʼ use somekind of spell to mind control the humans here, their source of energy is demonic energy so it should be relatively easy for Rex to find them.

As long as he knows what the energy feels like, he can practically search for anything.

Rex glance to the side feeling four people with subtle demonic energy in them, he then heads in that direction without a rush lest he attracts a crowd in this little to no Awakened city. With steady steps, he walks leisurely with his eyes fixated on a woman.

Just as he was following the woman, he suddenly saw a group of people gathered in a circle.

They seem to be crowding something and more people started to get attracted to this crowd, even Rexʼs interest got piqued but he can smell blood. If Rex were to guess, they should be crowding a crime scene with dead bodies.

ʼDamn succubus, they are already on the move?ʼ, Rex thought gritting his teeth.

Without wasting any more time, Rex picks up his pace and follows the woman with subtle demonic energy. But he intends to follow her silently in case there there are places that even he canʼt sense.

Swoosh!

Rex dashed away turning into a blur seeing the woman takes a turn,

”Oh my god, who couldʼve done these things...?”

”Is there a killer on the loose?”

”Are there Supernaturals in the city?”

Many people of the city exclaimed while looking at the sight in front of them, they are looking at seven dead bodies inside a trashbin that are mutilated and some of them has their flesh torn.

Itʼs the work of the devil, there are no sane people that can do this.

Soon the city guards came running into the scene trying to disperse the crowd, one of them that looks to be the leader of the city guards approached the trash bin with a frown. Even the scent of dead bodies can be smelled from afar.

Using a glove, the man then takes the mutilated bodies from the trash bin.

One thing that stands out from the dead mutilated bodies is that their wounds are not symmetrical, itʼs like an animal has killed them. So the chances of Supernaturals inside the city become high, and even the man knows it.

But to not create panic, the man turns back and said to another city guard, ”Make a perimeter...”

”I think there are Supernaturals inside the city, but donʼt panic. Just tell the people to stay inside their houses at night and do not come out”, he added.

Hearing this, the city guard gulps but still he nodded his head.

While this is all happening, Rex is following the woman that walks into a flat on the side of the street. Itʼs quite a big flat but rather on the corner of the city, Rex can feel demonic entities inside the flat and this confirms that there is more Succubus in this city.

Rex didnʼt idle around and immediately went to work, heʼs currently on top of a building.

But now that he thought about it, Rex has absolutely no spell or skill that is low-key enough to not attract attention, ʼLetʼs just do it the old fashion way, the fourth floor has the thickest demonic energy...ʼ

After determining where the most demonic energy is located, strength gathers in his legs.

He fixated his eyes on the window on the fourth floor,

Rexʼs eyes glisten fiercely before he dashes into the window like a streak of shadow that canʼt even be seen by the citizen walking by, itʼs very fast that only the subtle sound of the window shattering can be heard.

Upon reaching inside the flat, Rex looks around and finds himself in a dim-lit room.

With only using his senses which are very powerful as a prince of Werewolf, Rex saw four people inside of the room and one entity that is clearly not human judging from the horns sticking out of its head.

Taking out the Silver Eye from the systemʼs inventory, Rex stabbed the succubus that is still shocked from his arrival. His movement is too quick, the Succubus didnʼt even react to his attack.

Just with a thrust, the Silver Eye pierced the Succubusʼ mouth.

Rex saw the surprised look in the Succubusʼ eyes as he pushes down the sword slashing her mouth down, the Succubusʼ body got split into two from its mouth all the way down.

With the silver doing its work, the Succubus is unable to heal from the wound and died.

After killing the Succubus in just under a second, Rex swiftly moves around the room and knocks the other people in the room unconscious. The dim-lit room is not a hindrance to a Werewolfʼs eyes.

Because of the Succubus that mind controlled them, the people here have their eyes flickering with purple demonic energy showing that theyʼre already in the grasp of the Succubus.

So Rex decided to knock them out by hitting them on the back of their heads.

Itʼs almost too easy for him to take down the room that takes only a couple of seconds, sometimes Rex forgot that heʼs that strong compared to lesser Supernaturals. All he fights are high-ranked Supernatural.

Vampire Royal Families, Emissary of the Dark Prince, 25 Golden Crest Families.

Not one of them can be classified as normal or average in terms of power, they all have the power in the upper echelon so fighting a fifth-rank Succubus like this is too easy.

Straightening his back, Rex felt other auras throughout the flat so he went to work.

In just a couple of minutes, the entire flat consisting of six floors got cleaned up by Rex. Each of the mind-controlled people and Succubuses got either knocked unconscious or killed. Succubus that many fears are butchered like helpless babies.

Rex is now inside a room where a bunch of naked people is lying unconscious on the ground, most of their souls got sucked by the Succubus but thankfully Rex arrives in time.

Just like in the myth, Succubus can suck souls through an intimate act.

There are two things that are wrong with the myth compared to the real Succubus, one is that either Incubus or Succubus can prey on whatever they are as long as they have a soul, and the second is that not all Succubus or Incubus has devilish features that can tempt anyone.

Lower-ranked Succubus or Incubus looks more like a monster, the stronger they are the more beautiful they are. The ones Rex killed are already human-like but still have their monstrosity.

From what Rex saw, there are at least a dozen people died.

Out of all the fifty people inside the plat that got abducted by the Succubus, a dozen people died. If Rex didnʼt decide to help the city then these fifty people or even more will definitely die.

Rexʼs eyes then shifted from the unconscious people to the glowing purple orb in the middle.

Each floor has a Succubus controlling the people but on the fourth floor turns out he missed a room that is well hidden, and inside the room is this place with the purple orb in the middle guarded by an early sixth-rank Succubus.

Slowly approaching the purple orb, Rex touched the purple orb and scans it.

Itʼs a magical item that can explode and create a mind wave that will attack the mind of those who are hit by the wave and put them in a state of hypnosis, the range of the explosion varies depending on the collected souls but at max, it reaches 10 miles. No one under the sixth rank can sustain the hypnosis and is able to explode after sufficient souls are collected.

Collected Souls 619/2000

Upon seeing this, Rex widen his eyes in surprise before that surprise turned into anger.

ʼ619 souls?! They already killed that much?!ʼ, Rex exclaimed inside his head, he was absent from the news of the war with the Supernaturals because of the families he faced but this is not good at all.

The Supernatural strongholds are obviously working if they manage to gather this much.

Rex looks down with a dark expression, the system already told him that the people will be okay after they get back their consciousness. So Rex only puts the purple orb into his inventory before leaving the flat.

Upon exiting the flat, he looks up to the bright sky with a grim expression.

ʼShould I just volunteer to Sebrof to fight in the war...?ʼ, he thought, but if he were to do that then he will be surrendering his freedom. To make matters worst, only he knows what he can do best.

If Sebrof assigns him to a bad place, he will not feel fulfilled until he changed the tide of the war.

Prof. K will also not going to be happy if he did that,

Just as he was deliberating what to do inside his head, a beggar suddenly bumped into him.

Since heʼs still pissed from the souls the Succubus manage to gather, his expression is very fierce. But seeing the beggar, his expression softens but the beggarʼs body suddenly turns stiff.

While pointing at Rexʼs face, the beggar widens his eyes in fear.

”Y-You...”

Rex looks at the beggar in confusion since the beggar seems to know him, but out of nowhere the beggar suddenly shouted while pointing at his face, ”Werewolf!! Help!! Thereʼs a Werewolf!!”

”Eh...?”
