The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 865: Fear of his Decision

Like hearing a thunderous roar from the mightiest beast, Solomon, and Nezera whipped their heads when the two heard the words that came out of Calidoraʼs mouth. A super shock that electrified their brains awake.

Not a hint of falter in her voice, she said that with absolute confidence.

It was akin to a lion roaring menacingly not knowing that it was facing against a monster.

Despite the urge to reprimand Calidora climbing their throats, the pair husband and wife couldnʼt utter a single word right now. It would be respectful of them to do that now. Fearfully, the two shifted their eyes to Elder Nolacula and found him staring straight at their daughter, unwincing.

An abrupt silence covered the four of them, and the air increasingly became thicker.

But even under the intense gaze from the elder, Caliodra didnʼt back down and kept calm eye contact. She has a daunting light in her eyes, the kind of eyes that know for certain that they are in the right.

Surely, as the possessor of the Eyes of Terror, she knows more than the Elder.

It was then, Elder Nolacula smiled pliantly in response, ”It was foolish of me. Of course, you who have the power itself would know more about the power than me. It is my fault, so Iʼll apologize for my mistake”

”I also apologize for my rash words, elder” Calidora replied and bowed back slightly.

Upon hearing this Elder Nolacula nodded his head before he stepped back closer to Calidora, he then held her shoulder, ”We are from the same family, and our ancestor has done a sin to the Origin. I believe you also have the tendency to correct that sin. The Blodirra Familyʼs prestige is on your back, young Calidora. I put my faith and trust you will do our family good with the Eyes of Terror”

Nodding his head, Elder Nolacula went back into the castle and left the three alone.

Solomon and Nezera could feel a heavy burden in their hearts lifted when Elder Nolacula didnʼt take Calidoraʼs words to heart and accepted it rather well. He didnʼt seem to be angry. It was a wave of fresh air, the two could finally breathe again.

On the other hand, instead of being relieved, Calidora has a frown on her face.

Calidora straightened her back again to gaze at Elder Nolaculaʼs fading back before she clicked her tongue lightly and glanced over to both of her parents, ʼI shouldʼve won that small debate. But the Elder is too wise. In terms of experience, I couldnʼt compare to him...ʼ

It was supposed to be her triumph in the argument. But truthfully, she lost.

Just from the brief exchange with Elder Nolacula alone, she could tell that the elder was suspicious of her for not cultivating her Eyes of Terror prowess properly. Being calm and collected is an obvious giveaway for him.

Since Calidora has the power, she should know more than the elder who doesnʼt have it.

Due to that, Elder Nolacula couldnʼt force his view without looking like an ignorant person. But instead of letting her obtain this win, he decided to bring up their familyʼs sin and put the heavy burden on Calidoraʼs back right in front of her parents.

May not look like much at first, but this act influences both Solomon and Nezera.

Because now, Elder Nolacula stated that he put his truth and faith in Caliodra to pay the familyʼs debt to the Origin, Solomon and Nezera would feel responsible for their daughter even more. Both will be keeping an eye on her even stricter in order to make sure that sheʼs doing her responsibility.

Now, Calidora wouldnʼt be able to be as free as before, and this irritates her to no end.

A moment later.

Calidora walks inside the darkness of the castle and heads to her own bed chamber, she seems to be deep in thought, looking to her front absent-mindedly, ʼI shouldnʼt have come back if I had known that itʼd be like this. I only came back to increase his attraction to me, but now this is going to be troublesome...ʼ

Feeling agitated, she then entered the bed chamber and closed the door silently.

But in the second, she exploded.

Brak!

Crash!

Bam!

”Haarggghh! Iʼm angry, why is the Elder getting in my way?!!” Calidora roared frustratingly.

Venting out her anger, she started throwing things inside the bedroom and even clawed the walls like an unhinged beast. She was hiding her frustration from earlier, and when she was alone, it all came out.

Calidora flexed her claws while her eyes glowed red atrociously.

”I shouldʼve killed those two instead of restraining back! Grrr... But thereʼs that Flunra and Queen Shanaela there, I hate this! Itʼs already bad enough, and now the Elder joined. Raargghh-!”

It takes a moment before Calidora eventually regains her senses again.

Sitting on the bed in a meditative position, she then calmed herself down.

ʼRegardless of the situation, he should be coming back to me soon enough. I asked the Witch of Chaos earlier and knew what he needed, and thereʼs simply no way heʼs not going to come and find me when he wakes upʼ Calidora thought with a sweet smile before she started meditating to forget about her frustration.

Meanwhile, Dargena City.

It seems despite the situation, there is appreciated good news here and there.

Ryze reuniting with them is a great thing, he was not only a part of the inner circle around Rex but heʼs also an eighth-rank realm Heavenly Dragonman who would be a great asset for Dargena City in the future.

Moreover, due to his guilt, Adhara knew that he would work even harder.

Learning a lot from shadowing Rex and what he has done in the past to get through tight situations, she learned that an enemy or essentially people that have done bearable wrong in the past to them is a better candidate to become a friend.

Similar to the Platchi Family that Rex used to make them one of his subordinates.

Due to that, Adhara knows that Ryze would be a way effective person due to the guilt he bears. It wouldnʼt be a stretch to assume that he would be actively trying to gain acknowledgment from Rex.

A moment later, the two entered the Silverstar Castle.

Adhara was hesitant to bring Ryze into the castle, but she reckoned that it would be fine.

ʼEven though itʼs Ryze, I think I wouldnʼt need to tell him about Rexʼs condition. If he wanted to meet with Rex, then Iʼll have to say that heʼs under intense closed-door training and canʼt be disturbedʼ She thought, trying to do what she thought was the best.

Upon reaching the bridge that connects to the entrance, the two abruptly stopped.

Standing in front of the entrance towards the castle are Gelmar and also a white-furred oversized wolf that seems to be looking at them warily, it is Delta that seems to be tense and on alert mode.

It was an unfamiliar sight, and Adhara was surprised by this.

ʼArenʼt the two of them should be close...? Whatʼs with the tense atmosphere?ʼ

While she was thinking that, Ryze suddenly stepped forward.

Both of them seem to have fire in their eyes, glaring at each other with such intensity that the flow of their eyes seems to be sizzling. Adhara started to become worried, and she was on the brink of bringing Delta elsewhere.

Just then, Delta suddenly leaped and tackled Ryze to the ground.

”Delta! Stop it! Itʼs Ryze, canʼt you recognize hi-”

Fearing that Delta doesnʼt recognize Ryze anymore, Adhara tries to separate the two but is surprised that Delta is only licking Ryze playfully. ”I missed you too, Delta. I thought you wouldnʼt recognize me anymore”

Growl!

Adhara was worried for nothing, the two were not doing what she thought they were doing.

”Sigh... Fine, play with Delta. Iʼll go ahead first. If you go inside, find Naela, sheʼs Kyranʼs fiancee. Sheʼll take care of you” Adhara sighed before she headed into the castle, she needs to prepare for departure right now.

Talking with Ryze already took a chunk of her time, and she couldnʼt idle anymore.

Upon hearing this, Ryze abruptly stands up, pushing Delta away who is still licking him excitedly, ”Are you going somewhere, Adhara? I saw the Awakened from earlier marching through the street. If thereʼs a problem, I also want to help” He said expectantly.

Despite wanting to go inside first, he also wanted to earn his place here.

Just as she was expecting, Ryze wanted to come with her. Adhara smiled before she looked over her shoulders and said, ”If you want to come, then go to the north gate of the city. Iʼll meet you there”

With that, Ryze nodded his head and turned around, heading to the north gate with Delta.

On the other hand, Adhara stopped beside Gelmar.

”Did you see Flunra anywhere? I need him right now, but I couldnʼt find him”

”No, Sir Flunra left the castle a while ago”

Since she was about to depart with the others in order to carry out their plan, she really needed to meet with Flunra right now. But it seems nobody has seen him around. In addition, she also couldnʼt sense his scent or presence anywhere.

Even though the connection between her and Flunra is light, it should still be there.

But she couldnʼt sense him at all right now.

Almost as if Flunra was eaten alive by the world and disappeared without a trace, and this makes her frown in worry as this shouldnʼt be happening, ʼWhere did he go...? I sensed him earlier inside the city, now heʼs gone. I need his ancient runes yet now Iʼm worried that he might go missing. But thatʼs impossible, itʼs Flunra, heʼs way more capable of defending himself compared to meʼ

Pondering for a moment, she then decided that she would need to proceed without Flunra.

It was then, after preparation that she went into Rexʼs bed chamber.

Opening the door she was instantly greeted by the purple smoke, Evelynʼs Luna energy. ”Evelyn, Iʼll be going to deal with a problem that arises. If Rex wakes up, tell him that I can handle it. So tell him to take his time to rest and recuperate enough before doing anything”

”Yes, Iʼll tell him that. Be careful, Adhara” Evelyn replied with a calming tone.

Right before Adhara was about to leave, she stopped and decided to ask just in case Evelyn would know something, ”By any chance, did you know where Flunra went? I need his help but I couldnʼt find him anywhere”

”I think heʼs searching for Gistella, I havenʼt seen her for a couple of days” Evelyn replied.

Upon hearing this, Adharaʼs eyes widened in surprise.

Not that she thought about it, she also hadnʼt met with Gistella in the last couple of days. It seems sheʼs not inside the castle and also not inside the city. Surely, Flunra is out searching for her whereabouts.

But then again, this must have something to do with the night when Gistella lectures them.

Albeit she doesnʼt know what was Gistella thinking, the emotional aura coming from her seems to be a certain one, it seems like she is fixed on doing something. On top of that, Gistella left without even informing them.

It made her even more worried that she might do something reckless.

ʼGistella... what are you planning, really? I hope youʼre not doing something crazyʼ

Even though she was worried sick, she would only have to trust Flunra that he would be able to handle this. No matter the situation, she still had to deal with the alliance problem and couldnʼt stay back even if she wanted to.

Adhara could only bite her lower lip before she shook her head.

”Iʼll be going now...”

”Adhara, wait!”

”Hmm...? Whatʼs wrong, Evelyn?”

Just when she was about to leave, Evelyn called out to her, preventing her from leaving.

Upon meeting with Adahraʼs eyes that were looking at her questioningly, Evelyn paused for a second before she eventually smiled, ”Iʼm sorry that you would need to do all of this alone. If I could help, then I would help. But I canʼt”

”Donʼt worry, Iʼll handle this. Just focus on recovering Rex” She replied, nodding her head.

With that, the door was closed and Adhara left.

But it was then that Evelyn clenched both of her hands into fists. A hint of guilt can be seen in her eyes, and she then mused to herself, ”Iʼm sorry, Adhara. But Iʼm not ready yet. Iʼm sure you understand...”

Looking back at Rex sleeping on the bed peacefully, a glint of trouble flashes inside her eyes.

”Iʼm just not ready for his decision...”
