The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 582: Plunged into Despair

”Giana? What is the problem for you to create this mess?”, Vargas asked in dubious.

Working together with Sebrof for many years which made him know his work ethic and personality, Vargas has never seen Sebrof lose this much of his composure even through dire times that even he doesnʼt want to remember.

It was not an everyday occurrence for Sebrof to blow up his beloved office.

But Sebrof didnʼt answer as he grabs Vargas by the collar with his body still sparking with red lightning chaotically, ”Just do as I say! If you donʼt want humanity to suffer a huge setback, get anyone that is available and meet me at the Sky Temple!”

After saying that, the red lightning sparks even stronger.

Gazing straight in the direction of the Sky Temple, Sebrof didnʼt waste any time and instantly stormed away from the place. On his face was an urgency unlike any other, and this stunned Vargas for a solid couple of seconds.

The streak of red light left by Sebrof can still be seen staining the night sky.

Upon recovering from the daze from seeing Sebrof this worked up despite the dark bag under his eyes, Vargas shakes his head before descending to the lobby of the building, ʼI donʼt know what the problem is, but it should be very big if heʼs being like this...ʼ

Realizing the Awakened that are looking at him questioningly, Vargas waves his hand and shouted.

”Go tell the currently available units and also the guilds that are ready to be deployed to arm themselves, weʼre going to depart to the Sky Temple as President Sebrof ordered!!”

Gazing at the military men, Vargas also pointed at them.

”Quickly help clear the way to the Sky Temple, and contact the military compounds in other nearby sectors to meet President Sebrof on the Sky Temple! I everyone ready and be there as soon as possible, this is a direct order!!”

Knowing the urgency of the situation from Vargasʼ strong tone, they immediately moved.

Just like their battle mode is switched, the Awakened present and the military men started to run around preparing for their immediate departure to the Sky Temple. Military personnel is already dealing with the traffic outside and starting their vehicles, while the Awakened head back inside to gear up.

Despite not knowing the problem, it should be very serious.

Vargas also felt the same thing as he didnʼt know exactly what happen that can make Sebrof like this, but if itʼs going to affect humanity like Sebrof said earlier then he wonʼt ask another question and immediately does as he was told.

While looking in the direction where Sebrof has zoomed off, he canʼt help but frown in concern.

ʼMy heart is racing, very unusual. I have a really bad feeling about this...ʼ

Meanwhile, on the other side of Ratmawati City.

About a hundred people in white robes have already gathered and lined up neatly at the grassland just in front of a holy temple brimming with grace, their white robes are not those worn by priests as they wore before.

Now their white robes are compact and fit with weapons strapped to their sides.

In front of them was a woman that is pacing back and forth with a concerned expression on her face. Her bright blue hair swayed from the blowing breeze, and her crystal blue eyes which bring a sense of comfort now have a taint of worry in them.

Without a doubt that this woman is the guardian of the Sky Temple, Ladi Giana.

Holding the astral blue majestic bow in her hand that sprinkles blue sparkles to the surrounding, Giana seems to be ready for an unexpected fight. She just received the news regarding what went down in the forest earlier.

ʼI knew something was wrong, thatʼs why I told Zero to retrieve the corpse...ʼ

ʼI shouldʼve known that it was too easy, I shouldʼve been more thorough!”

Giana bit her lips knowing the fact that the Rex they killed was nothing but an illusion, the Lunar Light element caught her off guard. Back during the fight against the pack of Werewolves led by Arnulf, he didnʼt use any of his Lunar Light elements.

Only when he fights the Vampire Stronghold does he make the illusion.

Because of that, Giana doesnʼt know anything regarding the Lunar Light element. Itʼs very recent that Rex has achieved the Lunar Light element, and nobody aside from the ones inside the mansion knew about it.

Cold sweat drips and flows down the side of her face, created by the nervousness sheʼs feeling.

ʼWe wasted the white arrow and Zero even exposed of his light element, this is bad... we left many trails knowing that the white arrow wouldnʼt fail to kill him. And it didnʼt fail, but itʼs just an illusion!ʼ, Giana stopped and clenched her hands into fists.

Many of the people wearing white robes also feel worried just from looking at Gianaʼs expression.

Since they were nothing but the servant of the Sky Temple that is tasked to literally become the private army and pleaser of Lady Giana, they doesnʼt know what was about to come. If they knew, their souls wouldʼve left their bodies already.

Not long after, a figure materialized at the edge of the floating island.

Upon sensing the figure, Giana glanced to the side and finds the person that she has been waiting for. Zero. He was the one that was tasked to bring back the corpse, and he was also the one that realized the very bad news.

Even now, his expression is that of a ghost. Very pale, almost sickly even.

ʼHAHAHAHA!! Rex Silverstar is coming!!ʼ

ʼYouʼre going to die! All of you bastards are going to die!!ʼ

ʼYouʼre finished!! Your days are counted! Blame yourself for whatʼs about to come!!ʼ

Zero can still hear the echoing voice of Adhara maniacally laughing at him after finding out that the Rex he killed was none other than an illusion, the real one is still alive and definitely going to aim for the people that tried to kill him.

It was the stuff straight out of nightmares, he feels light-headed from this.

No matter how much he tries to snap out of it, Adharaʼs voice kept repeating again and again in his head, and the expression that she made kept flashing inside his mind. Itʼs the face to wear when seeing a dead man.

Out of nowhere, the sound of grass breaking can be heard approaching him.

Slap!

Knowing the person that is approaching him, Zero tries to remain calm to explain the situation but a solid slap landed straight on his face bruising his cheek in the process. But the slap was not a powerful one, but it hurts his insides.

Touching the cheek that got slapped, Zero glances at Giana that is glaring at him.

”You fool!! I trusted you to find out about Rexʼs whereabouts!! Itʼs bad to fail to search his whereabouts but you went even further and actually get the wrong location?!!”, Giana screamed in desperation.

Upon hearing this, Zeroʼs lips started to quiver, ”B-But I swear our intel in the SCO-”

Slap!

Before he can even provide a reason for his blunder, another solid slap lands on his other cheek. Zero can feel the disappointment in that slap, he has been working with Giana for so long but this was the first time he tasted disappointment.

Looking back at Giana, her eyes are now dully. They amplify the disappointment she bore to Zero.

Not stopping at that, the other people gathered there also witness the slap of disappointment he received from Giana, it was humiliating and this pained Zeroʼs heart. But he was not mad at Giana, but more at himself.

Memories of how Giana treated him with kind and help him reach this state flash in his mind.

If it werenʼt for her then he would be nothing and possibly fall prey to the envious hands that wanted his light affinity, but that didnʼt happen and now heʼs a proud eighth-rank Pure Light Elementalist.

Without a doubt in his mind, Zero owed his life to Giana that raised him to this.

Because of that, the slap of disappointment hurts him more than a knife stabbing into his chest. Something that snap the last rope inside his head, and he was completely plunged into a world of despair.

Gianaʼs expression filled with reluctance finally shed a tear, and she turns around helplessly.

Upon seeing this Zero gritted his teeth before he shouted from the back, ”I swear to you! I swear Iʼll make this right!! At the very least, I will take you off the blame and let this mistake kill me!!”

Exhaling lightly, Giana stopped in her track and glanced over her shoulder with cold eyes.

”Donʼt bother, Zero. It was a selfish request from me, I really wanted Rex to die. We didnʼt need the help of Supernaturals, but from what I did thereʼs a chance that heʼs coming after me and that doesnʼt align with me. Not that Iʼm scared of death, but I donʼt want humanity to be weakened even further”

Looking up at the sky for a brief moment, Giana then resumed back into the temple.

”Iʼll just ask Sebrof to help me apologize to Rex, maybe heʼll forgive me. But even if he didnʼt, at the very least we can plead with him to kill me when thereʼs a replacement.”, she added while walking away.

Zero clenched his jaw, it shouldnʼt end like this. It was his fault, he blamed this on himself.

”We can kill him! We can kill Rex Silverstar! Together! We always managed to pull off anything if we were together!! Iʼm a Light Elementalist, we can win!!”, Zero shouted again desperately, but this time Giana didnʼt stop as she slowly ascend back into the temple.

Waving her hand as if it was the last time, Giana smiled wryly before muttering to herself.

”Rex is a Werewolf, and that attempt should make him very angry. No chance... I canʼt win against him then and I definitely canʼt win against him now when heʼs angry”

After Gianaʼs back disappeared into the temple, Zero looks at the others.

”You guys have been with her for a long time, donʼt you want to do something?! Help me find a way to help her! As long as we want to, there must be a way!”, Zero tries to convince them, but hearing the name that they were up against dissuades them completely.

None of them wanted any problem with Rex Silverstar, the rising star of Humanity.

Upon looking at the expressions the other white-robed people are making, Zero gritted his teeth and clenched his hands strongly while looking down at the blowing grass. With a flash of determination, he then mutters, ”Fine, Iʼll do it myself!”

Meanwhile, Adhara and the others are brought back to the nearest city.

Now they are currently waiting for the teleportation formation to be ready to send them back to Ratmawati City. Adhara is standing in front of a hospital with Flunra on her side, nobody seems to be around them.

Evelyn and Gistella that are injured should be inside getting treated.

On the way to the city, the thought of the man that did this has never left Adharaʼs mind.

The thought of finding out who the man is so that they can find him and put him down quickly filled her mind, she didnʼt even realize the fact that the familiar person is already very near to her place.

”Heʼs here...”, Flunra suddenly said from the side.

Just after he said that a figure landed inside the hospitalʼs front yard shrouded in darkness.

Adhara blinked her eyes a couple of times before she realized that the figure is the person he wanted to see the most, the figure that arrived was none other than Rex that arrived even faster than the travel time Flunra had to meet with the others earlier.

Emerging from the darkness, Rex approached the two of them.

”Why are you guys still here...? Why havenʼt you headed back to the city yet and find out the culprit?”, Rex asked while approaching them, itʼs clear that his mood is still sour from what he had learned.

Upon hearing this, Adharaʼs eyes light up before they turn cold again.

”What are you going to do when you find the culprit?”

Ignoring Rexʼs questions, Adhara sent a question of her own with a serious tone. Even Rex realized the weird vibe coming from her, ”I want to say that Iʼm going to kill them, but thereʼs a high possibility that the culprit is Sebrof. Killing him wouldnʼt be a good idea, Iʼll talk to him”

Shifting his eyes to Flunra, Rex asked through his eyes what they doing here.

Finding that there is no sign of Evelyn and Gistella, he immediately realized that something happened to them. Rex didnʼt stay idle and instantly headed for the hospital door intending to check on the two of them.

ʼAs long as they didnʼt die, the system should be able to help them...ʼ, Rex thought.

But just as he was about to enter the hospital, Adhara suddenly grabbed his arm stopping him on his track. Rex glanced at her in confusion before she lifted her eyes that flickered murderously, ”No, donʼt just talk to him. Itʼs not enough, I want you to kill him...”
