The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 1045: Dorlus the Seer (3)

Sensing that there was a figure behind him, Flunra began to sweat profusely.

He could already smell the scent coming from that figure, as well as the conspicuous air of malevolence, leaving no room for doubt. It was not Adhara behind him, but Dorlus, eager to do horrible things to him who was stuck in a vulnerable state right now.

Unable to move his arms away, Flunra was completely defenseless.

ʼWhy does it have to be him...?ʼ He muttered inwardly, cursing the bad luck they encountered.

If it was other Werewolves, then this wouldnʼt be this hard.

Just as he thought of that, a rapid sound of footsteps could be heard as Dorlus sprinted toward him with a sadistic smile adorning his face. Leaping up, he cloaked his claws with moonlight energy and swung his claws strongly.

Clang!

A barrier appeared, protecting Flunra from the attack.

Knowing that there was a high chance that Adhara wouldnʼt be able to stop Dorlus, Flunra took a preemptive action. Earlier, he had bitten his own arm and spat blood onto the ground, intending to carve an ancient rune with his toes.

He couldnʼt do it with his hands, so he had to make do with what he got.

Naturally, the ancient rune was weaker than usual.

Carving the ancient rune with his toes surely affected the smoothness of the line.

It made the output weaker, but it was still sturdy enough.

Even with the safeguard of the ancient rune, Flunra, faced with an undeterred Dorlus, could only watch as the latter wore an unmistakable smirk. Dorlus extended his claws, effortlessly shattering the protective barrier. On the back of his hand, there was an ancient rune.

An ancient rune that pulsated with formidable power.

Just like Flunra, Dorlus was also capable of using ancient runes.

Expecting a barrier from the start, Dorlus strengthens his attack with his own ancient rune.

Breaking through the barrier, Dorlus stood right behind Flunra.

Slowly raising his claws skyward, he made a powerful swipe that dug deep into Flunraʼs bare right shoulder. It forced Flunra to let out a painful grunt. He ignored the pain, and desperately kept his focus on the princess.

”Now, thereʼs no way out for you,” Dorlus whispered raspingly.

His voice dripped with threat.

With sadistic intent, Dorlus cruelly pressed down, extracting his razor-sharp claws out of Flunraʼs shoulder deliberately, inflicting slow and agonizing pain. Ensuring maximum torment, he sliced through Flunraʼs collarbone roughly, snapping it in the process.

Looking at Flunra, seething in pain, Dorlus chuckled maniacally.

He placed his bloodied claws in front of his face, smearing Flunraʼs blood to his own face.

One will instantly suspect him as a lunatic from the way he looks right now.

”Iʼm going to inflict Hellʼs pain on you, Arnulf. For all the humiliation you inflicted on me in the past, I will repay it tenfold!” Dorlus said, savoring the sight of Flunraʼs vulnerability. But when he was about to move again, Adhara came blitzing from the hole in the wall.

Swoosh!

Unlike before, she was not going to pull any punches back and go all out.

”GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HIM!”

Boom!

Her entire body was now infused with a mix of blood moonlight energy and her fire elements, and both energies were responding to her emotions right now. Beneath the stress, her power climbed to even the mid-ninth-rank realm.

Even the walls, protected by the Ice and Snow moonlight energy, started to visibly melt.

Adhara emanates heat more potent than ever before.

Concentrating her all into her claws, she attacked Dorlus from behind.

Just like before, he was able to block her attack. But though he wanted to stand his ground, sustaining Adharaʼs attack, he was surprised to find that his entire body was pushed about ten meters to the side before stopping.

It was a clear indication that Adhara had reached a higher ceiling of power.

”Donʼt get in the way of a reunion, Female Alpha” Dorlus muttered, veins bulging on his neck.

Upon hearing this, Adhara responded with the same ferocity, ”Yeah? Make me!”

Roar!!

For a brief moment after the roar, time slowed down in Adharaʼs vision.

She observed Dorlusʼ entire movement, from the twitch in his muscles, the movements of his eyes, and even the flow of his extremely dense moonlight energy. Everything was taken into account as she tried to predict how Dorlus would attack.

However, in the next second, her eyes spread open in utter shock.

Dorlus made a normal dash toward her, but the worrying part was the speed of his dash.

Adhara could see him closing in rapidly with her heightened vision, but her body was not at the same level of speed as her perception. She tried her best to make her defense, making several fire explosions to propel her body out of the way of Dorlusʼ attack.

But it was utterly futile, Dorlus was moving too fast for her.

Slash!

Gritting her teeth, she saw her right arm fly across her vision, detached from her body.

Not stopping at that, Dorlus grabbed the back of her head before making another quick dash towards the wall, planting her face on it. Mercilessly, he did it a couple of times, making the crack on the wall bigger and bigger.

Crash!

Slamming one last time, he then kicks Adhara right on her spine and blasts her out.

Looking back at Flunra, he saw that the princessʼ body was already glowing, and it was not a good sign for Dorlus. Sprinting back at Flunra, his eyes flickered as he raised his claws, trying to pull Flunra away from the princess.

But before his claws could reach Flunra, someone held her arm, stopping his attack.

”Presistent ant! Youʼre no match for me!” Dorlus roared.

It was Adhara who caught his arm, stopping the momentum of the attack perfectly.

Despite having one of her arms missing, recovering at a snailʼs pace, Adhara was determined not to let Dorlus touch Flunra, just as she vowed. She was unwavering, ready to sacrifice a limb or two if necessary, refusing to give up.

Swoosh!

Summoning a fire scimitar, she tried to stab Dorlus right on his spine.

Obviously, she was intending to cripple Dorlus and buy some time for Flunra to finish.

However, her attempt was deflected by Dorlusʼ moonlight energyʼs manifestation, it was able to act like a spirit and protected him from her attack. An outburst of fire exploded upon their collision, but it was clear that Adharaʼs fire scimitar was on the losing side.

Splash!

Under the fierce tension, her fire scimitar cracked and dissipated.

ʼIf only I could use 5 or even 4 of my True Fire Blossoms, I wouldʼve definitely won that clashʼ

Adhara regretted that she didnʼt have time to train and get accustomed to her new, fire, as if she had time, there was no way she could lose that clash. But now that she could only use 3 True Fire Blossoms, she has to face reality.

Bam!

Just as he promised, Dorlus didnʼt aim for a kill and only kicked her away from him.

But there was clear annoyance in his countenance.

Adharaʼs persistent attempt irked him, and itʼs unclear if he would keep his promise for long.

Splash!

”KRAARGGHH!!”

Dorlus didnʼt waste any time and stabbed Flunraʼs back with his claws, gripping Flunraʼs bare spine tightly within his grasp, ”Make it easy for yourself and let go of the princess. You know that going against my word is a bad idea, and for your sake, let go of her”

Gritting his teeth, Flunraʼs eyes began to tear up from the pain was excruciating.

It was hard to keep his focus on the princess.

Even then, his loyalty for Rex is unflinching, he already worked so hard to prove himself to Rex, and thereʼs no way this level of pain would make him yield, ”Over my dead body, Dorlus, Iʼm not letting go. If you want me to stop, youʼll have to kill me”

Crack!

”GRAAARGGHH!!”

”Bad decision, Arnulf...” Dorlus muttered as he tightened his grip on the spine.

His grip produces a light, bony cracking sound, a sign of lethal damage to Flunraʼs spine.

Though he was trying to make Flunra yield and let go of the princess, Dorlus couldnʼt help but frown himself as he couldnʼt believe what Flunra said to him, ʼHe has always been the kind of person who worships survival over anything. If the situation is helpless, he is sure to flee. How come itʼs different now...?ʼ

Dorlus was caught off guard by Flunraʼs answer, it was unexpected.

But this made him become more curious about Rex who made Flunra willingly go this far.

Respect must be present for Flunra to be this stubborn.

Simultaneously, Adhara was still relentlessly launching attack after attack, trying to break through the moonlight energyʼs manifestation. Blood sprayed across the floor from her severed arm, yet she was still running and attacking with manic determination.

Adhara became feral, the fierce anger mixed with frustration inside her was on full display.

Moreover, the sound of Flunraʼs scream also fueled her.

From his wailing scream, she could hear the deep pain that he was feeling right now.

Pssshh...!

Her anger ignited her Herald Mark even greater, the red linings across her body started to pulse with even more power, increasing her physical stats to a terrifying degree. With a low grunt, she cracked the ground beneath her feet and made a dash.

ʼI had no choice, to Hell with the repercussion!ʼ Adharaʼs eyes bulged furiously.

Realizing that the situation requires her to do absolutely anything, lest Flunra was going to be killed by Dorlus, she has no other choice. Garnering every single spirit energy and fire mana that she could muster, she fused all of it into the violet snake on her waist.

”Pneuma Spell, Slither Chains of Jealousy!”

HISS!!

Feeling the increase in power, the violet snake hisses and darted forward.

Having no other option, Adhara decided to use her third circle Pneuma Spell to attack.

Etching a trail across the floor as its size expanded, turning bigger by the second, the violet serpent swiftly coiled around the manifestation of moonlight energy, transforming into chains that securely shackle it in place.

Letting out a thunderous hiss, it started to tighten its wrap.

Under the pressure from the violet serpent, the manifestation of moonlight energy shattered.

Having accomplished its task, the serpent coiled back towards Adhara, shrinking in size to wrap its form around her arm. It transformed into a battle glove with an open snake-head shape before she delivered a powerful swing at Dorlus.

Contrary to earlier, the air began to tremble, depicting the greater strength she emits.

Even the white sphere in the sky reacted and started its suppression.

Since the First Breath was still in effect, neither the Awakened nor the Supernaturals dared to use their strongest spells or skills, fully aware that doing so would have repercussions. It was the white sphere in the skyʼs job to make sure those who tried were punished.

But pressured by the situation, Adhara suffered through the suppression.

Her eyes, nose, and ears started to bleed as she fought back against the suppression.

Naturally, her attack alerted Dorlus who was still having fun torturing Flunra. He pivoted his head around and saw that Adhara was already nearing, her claws were conspicuously a few inches away from piercing his eyes.

From the sidelines, there should be no way Dorlus was able to dodge this attack.

However, when the attack was about to hit, he smirked.

A mysterious pale blue energy started to manifest around his body, and there was an eerie glow coming from his shoulder that propelled his aura to a terrifying degree. Even Adhara was surprised when she saw this at the last moment.

SWOOSH!

BOOM!!

Following a brief silence, a massive explosion happened.

It wrought devastating havoc, tearing through the entire dome and vaporizing the ankle-length water on the floor. Nothing was spared from its fierce shockwave, and even Flunra needed to exert more strength to maintain his footing.

Surely, with such an attack, Dorlus wouldnʼt be able to come out of it unscathed.
