The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 1305: Training Non-Stop

Rex instantaneously pulled back his words when his nerves felt pain.

He felt the spirit energy brush past his body but there was a delay until the pain came.

As soon as his body recognized the sensation, his teeth gnashed against each other—as he clutched his chest in pain. Blood gushed out of his mouth, the pain was overwhelming—akin to thousands of burning ants marching inside his internals.

It was too much even for him who has an extremely high pain tolerance.

Only about ten seconds passed and he already fell to his knee.

Despite his hardest, it was impossible to withstand the rush of spirit energy.

Rex could feel forcing himself would be a bad choice.

His spirit core would crack if he did that.

Seeing this, Devo closed the hole again and raised an eyebrow cockily, ”Want to go again?”

”Fine, I admit itʼs going to be hard to get accustomed to that realm,” Rex said in defeat, a few seconds were already hard, much less going to meet the Spirit Emperor. ”but still, we have to depart in a month”

A plan could change and adapt but the goal shouldnʼt change.

Rex had used that mindset throughout his life and now wasnʼt the time to stop using that.

”Increasing your tolerance is a must, and then you have to strengthen your soul”

”I can do that and as for my soul, I need sacrifices to strengthen it”

”One at a time, or you could ask your pack to find you some sacrifices”

”Give them a break—they had just finished the pack duel, they deserved some rest”

Upon hearing Rexʼs answer, Devo crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.

”Shouldnʼt that also apply to you?” He asked.

Rexʼs breath halted, he has no answer to that question, and he paused for a good moment.

Eventually, he stood up, ”No rest for me in this world. If I rest, bad things will happen”

Devo didnʼt press further and kept silent.

”Come on, open it again. Iʼm going to keep at it until Iʼm used to it,” Rex instructed.

Just like that, days passed by in a frenzied blur.

Rex never left the training chamber, training his tolerance against the rush of spirit energy.

He didnʼt sleep, eat, or talk with the others.

From the notifications that appeared in his vision, he knew the others were awake already.

All of them visited him in the training chamber to see what he was doing, the one who visited him the most was Evelyn. But no matter who came, Rex did not stop his training—utilizing his regeneration to the absolute limit and sparing the others, not a glance or words.

Even when his eyes turned red and him sweating blood, he kept training non-stop.

Rex only bought stamina potions from the System and resumed his training.

It was hard to watch him train this hard.

Despite already being in the apex, Rex was training as if he was rock-bottom.

Observing from the side for days straight—accompanying him through the painful process of increasing his tolerance, was Evelyn. She sat on the stairs with Amanir on her lap, sleeping in peace as if he didnʼt have anything to do.

As opposed to waiting for Rex to increase his tolerance, Devo and Amanir were also training.

Both of them exchange shifts from training to helping Rex open the spirit realm.

Mostly, Devo was the one training properly.

He was training in close-quarter combat without using any of his lightning prowess.

Rex said that martial arts are very important to learn to give Devo—and Amanir an advantage against the high spirits, they were going to fight later. None of them utilized any kind of close quarter combat technique, they were mostly only relying on their abilities.

It would greatly help for both of them to learn and incorporate some techniques in their style.

Due to that, Rex bought an item from the shop called Basic Technique Mimic.

A parchment that would manifest a mimic, a humanoid dummy.

All Devo and Amanir needed to do was follow the mimicʼs movements to boost their mastery.

Of course, an obstacle appeared.

Rex already expected it but Amanirʼs figure was unfit to learn from a humanoid dummy.

He took the form of an animal and was the most comfortable in that form.

It would be starting all over again if Rex forced Amanir to shapeshift into a humanoid form.

Fortunately, the System has a solution.

Unlike what Rex had believed, there were also martial arts or techniques for animals.

Out of the selections, the Mountain Stomp, the Iron Shell—and the Tempest Beak technique, he opted to give Amanir the second and the third one. Amanirʼs long ears could be used as a shield through the Iron Shell technique and his wings made him compatible with the dashing strikes of the Tempest Beak technique.

For mere techniques, each cost ten thousand gold which was quite expensive.

Nevertheless, Rex has gold to spare without a problem.

”Arenʼt you supposed to train?” Evelyn asked while rubbing Amanirʼs head tenderly.

Rubbing his face deeper into Evelynʼs thighs, he shook his head, ”Five more minutes, please”

Seeing this lazy spirit, Evelyn could only shake her head.

She focused back on watching Rex training with Devo before her mind rang with past words.

It was when Adhara—and Gistella talked about what had happened in the Bloodstone Crater.

...

”Can you repeat what you said?”

”Hmm? I said Rex prepared a new member that could revive us somehow”

”No, after that... what did you say after that?”

”He attacked the Bloodstone Crater, a sacred ground for the Werewolves”

Evelynʼs eyebrows dipped into a hard frown.

Both Adhara and Gistella could tell that she was greatly troubled by this.

Frankly speaking, they were too.

”Isnʼt it too much to attack a sacred ground?” Evelyn asked, silently. ”He had done many bad, and atrocious things—but all of them are directed at the individual he was fighting. Attacking a sacred ground... it didnʼt seem like something he would do”

Of course, Evelyn found this weird.

Since Rex had buried his hatred for the Werewolves, this also wasnʼt caused by hate.

”He could do it knowing that he was facing a God...” Evelyn added aloud.

Just then she noticed that Adhara and Gistella were looking at her with a particular gaze.

Realizing this, she raised an eyebrow, ”Why are you looking at me like that?”

”Actually...” Adhara smiled wryly, arranging the words—in her mind. ”We are hoping that you might know the answer to that. Did something happen to Rex? Something that perhaps only you know?”

Upon hearing this, Evelyn pursed her lips.

She remembered what Madam Qonvale said to her, about Rexʼs soul being cold.

”I donʼt know...” Evelyn eventually replied, shaking her head.

At her answer, Adhara and Gistella exchanged a look, confirming she was hiding something.

...

Remembering their earlier conversation, Evelyn bit her lower lip hard.

ʼIs he changing because he knew he was going to die? Is that why he was training this hard? Aiming to finish everything before his time comes?ʼ

Just thinking about that ache her heart, she was the only one who knew.

Evelyn felt like crying again thinking about this.

Out of nowhere, the dangling moon earrings she was wearing hummed gently with energy.

A voice then rang inside her head.

ʼIs this how low a Luna in the new era has become? Such a disappointmentʼ

Upon hearing this, Evelyn quickly wiped her tears.

ʼHeʼs the man that I love, canʼt I be sad?ʼ

ʼHas he died yet? Is the situation, truly hopeless? You knew what was going to happen—and yet youʼre here, crying like a baby? Step down from the Luna position. I think that Vampire is more suitable to be the Luna than youʼ

ʼNo! I wonʼt step down and I wonʼt let that happen!ʼ

Evelyn replied in her mind fiercely, the sheer mention of Calidora made her blood boil.

She and Calidora were on a good term—but this happened because both could now tolerate, each other. As long as Calidora was aiming for the Lunaʼs position, Evelyn couldnʼt truly be at a good term with her.

ʼThatʼs it, thatʼs the spirit you always need to haveʼ

ʼThen what are you suggesting?ʼ

ʼThe Alpha is the strongest within the pack, he is the one who would take care of all physical confrontation but until then, itʼs the Lunaʼs task to settle the problem. Now that you knew he was a step into the grave, shouldnʼt you find the cause?ʼ

ʼEverything would be fine if only Rex could have just a little bit of care for his lifeʼ

ʼChanging the Alpha is harder than changing the situation. We are to assist, not dictateʼ

ʼAssist...?ʼ

ʼYes, assist. Besides, you should be grateful. Only a few Alphas prioritize the pack more than himself. Trust me, if I were there, in the new era, Iʼll definitely steal Rex for myself. You would most certainly be crushed by meʼ

Upon hearing this, Evelynʼs expression turned stern.

Determination bloomed behind her gaze.

More days passed, it was some of the peaceful times that Rex had gained.

It was only him training non-stop with a short break of sparring with Devo and Amanir.

His tolerance was surprisingly increasing rapidly.

About two weeks passed and he managed to withstand the spirit realm for more than twenty minutes, which was rather impressive considering he was only able to withstand the rush for ten seconds initially.

Rex drank a couple of potions, taking a short break.

Oh, I also got an ability from the System, didnʼt I? Letʼs check it out.

Upon clearing the pack duel quest, Rex obtained the Silverstar Genesis moon ability.

He had briefly scanned the description back then and knew what it did.

It was a private realm for the Silverstar Pack—upgradeable and brought many benefits.

Possessing a realm of himself, Rex felt like he was closer to the realm of Godhood.

But then again, if he was going to fight the Lunirich Gods, it was a natural path for him.

Just as he was about to check the description one more time—however, his body tensed.

ROAR!!

A mighty roar resounded followed by a huge pressure that even caught Rex off guard, it was so massive that he instinctively turned into his Werewolf form. Even Devo and Amanir turned to look at him for confirmation.

Not waiting for another second, Devo and Amanir went back to Rexʼs body.

Rex then rushed outside of the training chamber, sprinting to the top balcony swiftly.

On the way, he met with Evelyn and Adhara and they went to the top together.

Upon reaching the balcony, Rex instantly looked around.

He saw Kyran, Flunra, and Gistella on the castle walls, looking skywards.

Rex also slowly turned to look skywards, before a frown crossed his face when he saw a big, outright massive creature above the clouds. A dragon, but the enormous aura coming from it was completely different than Elder Rancaladra or even Ryze, both were Heavenly Dragons.

Its body was akin to a serpent but had two pairs of wings.

ROAR!!

Once again, the dragon roared, creating a powerful soundwave that cleared the clouds.

Not only that but the soundwave stretches for countless miles—it reached Dargena City and its vicinity. Upon the soundwave arriving—the barrier covering the whole city became visible and shook violently.

Rexʼs eyes gleamed and blood trickled from his nose when he scanned the dragon.

His eyes widened at what he was seeing.

Due to the problems at hand, Rex forgot about one important thing.

”I forgot, weʼre still in the initial stage of the Second Breath. Now, it is complete...” He mused.

Adhara and Evelyn looked at him, gulping harshly at the realization.

Both of them too forgot about that fact.

In the current awakening of the world, this wasnʼt the moment for Humans or Supernaturals.

No, this is the moment for mutated animals.

Nature has always picked a side and the mutated animals were the ones blessed first.

Before any of the intelligent races could reach the tenth-rank realm—the mutated animals were the ones that would reach that realm first. Now, the dragon, was one amongst many mutated animals that has established their power at the tenth-rank realm.

Rex looked at this and smiled wryly, ”Is it just me, or is the new era allergic to peace?”
