The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 523: The Deceit of the Vampires

Rex looks at the rows of notifications from the system with an unreadable expression, his expression didnʼt change or even twitch a little bit upon seeing the notifications from the system. Still in his Werewolf form, he then glances at Adhara.

Knowing that she has won the fight, Adhara sighs in relief as the battle is finally over.

Adhara herself knows that she would lose if she clashes with Gistella right at the end there, she reverts back to her human form just before the clash happened. Itʼs because the transformation is very powerful, and she canʼt really control it much.

The time she has been given is only a couple of days, and itʼs impossible to reach a perfect state.

Ever since she evolved her bloodline into Anti-Werewolf, she found out that every time she tries to turn into her werewolf form thereʼs an unspeakable strain that she felt. This pressure puts a heavy burden on her mind and she canʼt maintain the form for too long.

From start to finish, the fight shouldʼve only reached about five minutes.

If a normal person somehow was watching their fight then they would find that the fight ended quickly. Not because itʼs not a gruesome fight but because both of them are moving very fast.

Upon realizing that Rex is looking at her intently, she canʼt help but held her breath.

Although she wanted to say something to ease the tension coming from Rexʼs glance, the words got stuck in her throat unable to be forced out. Sheʼs scrambling for her words but all that manage to come out of her mouth was only her inaudible mumble.

”I told you to not pull your punches...”

Rexʼs simple yet pressuring sentence seeped into Adharaʼs ears, it was a deadly whisper.

Out of all her history together with Rex, she has never gotten this kind of tone or treatment from him. Usually, heʼs very composed and never actually snaps at her. If heʼs angry at her then he would prefer to be silent or finish it in a civilized way.

But currently, thereʼs no sign of that Rex. Heʼs a completely new person filled with icy coldness.

Finally able to properly grasps her words under the pressure coming from Rex, she then tries to reason with him, ”Rex... be realistic. I know what Gistella did is a blunder, but you out of all people should know that sooner or later Mrs. Greene would know about us being Werewolves”

”Sheʼs living under the same roof as us, itʼs practically inevitable that your parents would know”

Upon hearing what she said Rexʼs gaze turns fiercer, thereʼs a mix of surprise and disbelief in his expression, ”So... youʼre saying that itʼs my fault for putting my parents in the mansion where theyʼre the safest, Itʼs my fault that I was forced to let them live in the mansion since itʼs sector 2 where one mansion per family is the rule there”

”Is that what youʼre saying, Adhara...?”

With Rexʼs aura that kept mounting and mounting as he said those words, Adhara steps back unconsciously as the devilish horns poked out of Rexʼs head amplifying his power even more.

It brought the feeling of royalty that makes even Adhara with her new bloodline suppressed.

”T-Thatʼs not what I meant, Iʼm just saying that itʼs inev-”

Before she can finish her sentence, Rex already grabs her by the shoulder. Bending his body to equal his eye level to Adharaʼs, Rex then whispers right in front of her face, ”I already told you that if you donʼt go all out, youʼre going to be the one punished...”

Adhara looks down averting Rexʼs eyes with a trembling body before out of nowhere,

Crunch!

She was stunned upon feeling a slight pang on her neck, but her eyes widens realizing that she got a bite right on her neck. Black moonlight energy got injected directly into her body from Rexʼs fangs, and a second after that, ”Arrgghh...!!”

Just from that one bite, Adhara was sent rolling on the ground holding her neck in pain.

Rex has just used his newly attained skill, the Absolute Predominance Fangs. The skill injected the dark moonlight energy that forcefully disrupt the flow of mana and spirit energy inside Adharaʼs body.

Itʼs an absolute skill so even Adharaʼs Anti-Werewolf bloodline canʼt really resist it completely.

Wiping Adharaʼs blood that got smeared on his mouth, Rex looks down at her rolling on the ground with an indifferent look. Thereʼs steam coming from around his mouth since Adharaʼs blood becomes toxic to a Werewolf because of her Anti-Werewolf bloodline.

Touching his teeth, he finds that his fangs are shorter.

Adharaʼs blood is even capable of reducing half of his teeth to ash, and his gum even bleeds out upon touching her blood. This of course healed in a blink of an eye, itʼs just surprising for Rex.

Just as if it was nothing, Rexʼs regenerative ability kicks in and instantly healed the wound.

”Kyran, give this to Gistella when she wakes up. Donʼt leave the arena until she wakes up, I already booked the arena until tomorrow so you donʼt have to worry”, Rex said before tossing an elixir at Kyran, he then heads to the door intending to leave.

When he was about to reach for the door, Kyran suddenly asks, ”W-What about Adhara?”

Rex stops in his track just when he grabbed the door handle, he then takes one last look at Adhara that has her veins turning gnarly black holding her neck in pain. Without a change of expression, he then opens the door, ”Let her be, itʼs her punishment for disobeying me”

~

Outside of Ratmawati City, somewhere near Nuta City.

About a hundred Awakened clad in grey outfits are dashing through the forest, their movements are agile and precise almost like a monkey traversing through the forest. Most of these Awakened is levitating in the air, they are all flying.

Giana is the one leading the group of Awakened, she exposes her bright wings behind her.

If she wanted to she can blazes through the rest of the distance to Nuta City in just a blink of an eye, but she maintained a decent speed to not break their formation. Giana needs to match her pace with the other Awakened.

”Let me check the situation of the city, Iʼll scout on ahead”

”But lady Giana, itʼs not appropriate to send you to scout ahead. We have people that can do that, you donʼt need to trouble yourself doin-”

Before the Awakened beside her can say anything more, Giana already picked up her pace, ”The city might be attacked right now, your people would be too slow. Donʼt worry, I wonʼt recklessly charge in there”

Without even waiting for the Awakened to reply, Giana already disappeared.

All she needs is a flap of her wings made of weird mana and spirit energy to leave the group of Awakened, sheʼs a ninth rank Awakened after all. The human side only has a handful of ninth rank Awakened, theyʼre the representation of power.

Itʼs not surprising to find that Gianaʼs speed is unfathomable, she turns into a streak of light.

From the other side of the place, a bright light suddenly leaped into the dark sky. That bright light can be seen from miles away, itʼs certainly Giana flying in the sky before looking at the city in front of her.

Gianaʼs eyes glow with a subtle hue seeing that the cityʼs gate looks to be fine.

Based on the information that they have been given the Vampire armyʼs route should be heading to either Nuta city or Slago city, she then glances to the side and finds the same thing happening to Slago City. There is not a trace of the Vampire army attacking.

After checking the two cities and finding that they were fine, Giana went back to the others.

The woman Awakened leading the group suddenly realized that Giana had already appeared beside her, she come and goes without the woman able to sense her despite being a peak seventh rank herself.

”Howʼs the cityʼs condition? Are the Vampires still there?”

”No...”

”What do you mean, no? Our intel told us that the Vampire army is certain to go there”

Upon hearing this Giana also canʼt help but frown as she also doubted that the intel would be wrong, this is their territory after all so the chain of intel should be fortified and trustworthy. But then again reality shows that the cities are in peace.

But just as they were nearing Nuta city, the woman looks down with a frown.

”What is it?”

Giana looks at the woman in confusion, but soon the woman pulls out a necklace under her outfit and finds a black candle there that is burning with blue fire. It doesnʼt burn her, but this makes both the woman look at Giana with wide eyes.

Looking at the burning black candle, Giana was confused, ”What is that...?”

”Itʼs a Supernatural Radar prototype developed by the SCO, Iʼve managed to get my hands on it and if thereʼs a Supernatural the black candle will light up with blue fire...”

Realizing this, Gianaʼs expression turns stiff, ”Letʼs hasten our pace!”

Swoosh!

Just a couple of minutes later, they soon find themselves in front of a city.

Nuta city is made and constructed on a hill so the houses of the city can be seen from outside, they are stacked in an ascending manner on the slope of the hill the city is built on. Its grey enhanced stone is the foundation of the wall surrounding the city turning it into a powerful fortress.

Itʼs quite majestic and heavily guarded for a level three city, and there should be Awakened there.

As per what Giana saw earlier the city is still intact with the automatic battle turrets still standing at the top of the wall, even the gate itself is closed shut with not a dent of battle can be seen. Itʼs supposed to be fine, but once again both of them look at the black candle.

”My name is Giana or also known as Ruler of the Sky Temple, open the gate this instant!”

Declaring herself and also her aura mightily, Giana looks at the top of the wall but thereʼs no response even after waiting for a minute. Not only does the city doesnʼt respond, but thereʼs also no sound coming from the city.

Even this late in the night, the city hosting thousands of lives should make some sounds.

But thereʼs not a single sound can be heard coming from the city, and getting no response shows that there are also no guards at the top of the wall. This alone is a red flag, Giana readies her majestic bow that is strapped on her back.

Following her battle stance, the Awakened behind her also draw out their weapons.

The woman standing slightly behind Giana signals to the other Awakened before they all touch the Silverstar crest on their right shoulder. Instantly after that, all of their outfits glow brightly surprising Giana. Her fixed attention shifted to the grey light.

Looking back at the Awakened, she finds that their outfits glow with a grey hue.

Without even needing to inspect further Giana can already sense that the grey sparkling light coming from their outfits is some form of silver energy, itʼs specifically made to fight Supernaturals.

After the entire Awakened readies themselves, Giana looks back at the city walls again.

”This is our last warning! Open the gate, or weʼll use force to break inside!”

Giana waited for another minute before she firms her expression getting no response again, she then signals with her hands to the Awakened behind her before advancing forward in an orderly manner.

She then touch the gate with her hand before concentrated energy exploded from her palm.

CRASH!

Just like that the majestic gate made of enhanced steel was destroyed with nothing but a touch. Giana then lowers her stance before she dashes inside followed by the other Awakened, but soon her eyes dilated feeling something at the edge of the cityʼs territory.

Signaling for the Awakened to stop, the woman frowned before she walks to Gianaʼs side.

”Why didnʼt we get inside? Is there something wrong?”

Ignoring the womanʼs question, Giana looks at her front squinting her eyes. When she focuses closely enough, she saw a red reflection that is very hard to see despite standing right in front of it. She then realized that it was an invisible red barrier.

Giana canʼt help but frown upon seeing this invisible red barrier that is separating the city and the outside, ʼHow did this red barrier escape my Arcane Sense... It shouldnʼt be possible unless itʼs a spell equivalent to a Kingʼ

Shing!!

Cloaking her entire arm with bubbling deep blue water made of weird mana, she then approaches the almost-invisible red barrier before putting her right arm into it. Under the otherʼs gaze, Gianaʼs right arm disappeared from their vision after entering the red barrier.

Finding that itʼs not harmful in any way, Gistella readies herself and walks inside.

”Lady Giana! Wait-”

Right after completely entering the red barrier, the sound from the outside vanishes, and the scenery instantly changed. Giana looks at her front before her expression turns grim.

Unlike the appearance from the outside, turns out the city has already been raided.

Every citizen of Nuta City is impaled and stabbed on the walls of the houses here all the way to the majorʼs mansion at the top of the hill, this shows that the Vampires had already destroyed the city and left it in ruin.

The red barrier is an illusion barrier, and it even manages to fool a ninth-rank Awakened like Giana.

Following from behind, the woman and the other Awakened walks inside before they saw the same scenery. All of them canʼt help but widen their eyes in surprise as they didnʼt expect something like this to happen.

Vampires are barbarous and now they witnessed it firsthand, the cruelty of a high-rank Supernatural. But they unconsciously turn their gaze to Giana as they should.

With a ninth rank Awakened around, they shouldnʼt encounter this kind of situation.

But it seems even Giana didnʼt sense that the red barrier is covering the actual state of the city and that alone shows the power of a Vampire that surpassed their imagination, itʼs definitely not King Solomonʼs doing so it should be another Vampireʼs doing...

”Report to the headquarters about this, it seems the Originʼs Cutlass has another ability”
