The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 1439: Void Hub

Considering his situation—needs to become stronger by capitalizing on his Imbalanced Spirit Veins, the answer should be obvious already. Killing Voidal Monsters is the most effective way he could obtain Nightfall Stars and grow stronger.

It was his first day in the Spirit Realm but he still had to hurry.

Better for him to be too quick than too late.

Nodding his head, Rex gets rid of the panels for the Mask of the Banished Eclipse and also the Aegis of Moon Sentinel—focusing solely on the Red Dawn of Kaiser. As he was still in the High Spirit rank, the method to cultivate was quite straightforward.

He only needed life energy to grow the Soul Artifact mark on his back.

Currently, Rex has accumulated 52 White Nightfall Stars that he could absorb and obtain life energy.

Not to mention, he also has five of the Double Absorption Tickets from reaching level 10.

I should save the tickets for when I get stronger Nightfall Stars. For now, letʼs do it raw.

Without even opening his eyes, Rex summoned one White Nightfall Star.

Out of nowhere, materializing on his chest was a glowing white star symbol that exuded a cooling air that was quite pleasant. Rex could feel the life energy coming from his chest and with nothing—but his will, he began guiding the energy through his veins.

Its destination was clear, the Soul Artifact mark on his back.

Controlling life energy was still something new for Rex, he couldnʼt control it—as well as he had—with his kingly energy or elemental mana but he was adapting incredibly well. Unlike others who would be struggling to adapt, it was easy for Rex.

Be it because of him being a Werewolf or his extremely high control mastery, he was adapting quickly.

Swish…

As the life energy approached closer to his Soul Artifact mark, the red claw part of the mark began exuding a crimson hue—reacting eagerly. Rexʼs face twitched when a stabbing sensation swarmed his body as the life energy interacted with the mark.

Even though the part near the mark hurts more, it enveloped his entire body.

Having an Imbalanced Spiritual Vein is good for his situation but it wasnʼt flawless.

An imbalanced Spiritual Vein meant there were holes—a couple, dozens, or even hundreds across the entirety of the Spiritual Vein. All of these holes were sensitive and if life energy went past them, some of it would leak out on top causing pain.

But then again, Rex was not someone who could be deterred from pain.

His pain tolerance was extremely high.

Pain of this caliber wouldnʼt spark more than a slight twitch on his face.

Knowing that, Rex should be relaxed but he wasnʼt.

I can handle the pain no problem but if the pain from the Gradual Penalty increases two times or even one more time, I donʼt know if I could ignore this pain anymore. Even now, Iʼm sure Linthia would be able to only barely fight the pain. Maybe I should ask the System for ways to lessen the pain from this process.

Focusing back on the moment, Rex could feel the tendrils of life energy reaching for the mark.

Upon contact, the mark glowed red spectacularly.

Steadily, the life energy from the White Nightfall Star reinforced his Soul Artifact mark.

Even though the pain would deter many from the good side of this process, Rex wasnʼt one of them.

It took him almost ten minutes to absorb the entirety of the White Nightfall Star.

Once the life energy inside of it was exhausted, the glowing white star on Rexʼs chest flickered before disappearing completely. Rex checked the progression—and saw that he was at 11%. One might think that it was quite fast but it wasnʼt as fast as Rex wanted.

Nevertheless, he continued cultivating the Red Dawn of Kaiser Soul Artifact.

During his cultivation, time passed in a blur.

Before Rex realized it, the day had already turned to night.

Rex opened his eyes, ending his meditation, and was instantly greeted by several notifications.

Seeing these notifications, Rex didnʼt waste any time and instantly checked his own stats.

…

”Huh… I got only a little bit stronger,” Rex mumbled, the increase was quite minuscule.

But then again, his physical strength, which was transferred to the Spirit Realm, was already on par with Ascendant Spirit 5, so an increase of a small realm—within the High Spirit realm, wouldnʼt amount to anything spectacular.

All he needed to do now was to reach the Ascendant Spirit rank as soon as possible.

Glancing over to the side, he saw Amanir was sleeping soundly.

On the other hand, Linthia was sitting cross-legged on the other bed, also cultivating.

Also having an Imbalanced Spiritual Vein, she must obtain an equivalent of Nightfall Stars from killing a few Shadow Hounds earlier. It wasnʼt much but it should be enough for her to start training her control over life energy.

”Linthia…” Rex called softly. ”Linthia, we need to go”

Fearing that he might damage her Spiritual Vein by forcing her to snap out of her meditation, Rex decided to call her name instead. Hearing her name being called, Linthia slowly opened her eyes—and turned to look at Rex.

”Come on,” He said, standing up and heading for the door.

Upon seeing this, Linthia cast a glance at Amanir, sleeping soundly, ”Should I wake up Amanir?”

”No, he doesnʼt have an Imbalance Spiritual Vein so thereʼs no use for him to come,” Rex replied.

Just like Andreas suggested, Rex and Linthia went to the Void Hub.

Finding the Void Hub wasnʼt something hard, it was the most crowded place in the whole Arbitgea—the sheer number of people that came in and out of the entrance was quite astonishing. Fortunately, it didnʼt come to a point where they needed to squeeze through.

It was crowded but they could go through fine.

Had they come in the morning though, it would definitely be too crowded.

Entering into the bustling hall, Rexʼs sharp gaze swept over the lively scene before him.

Despite the appearance from the outside, the Void Hubʼs inside was quite spacious, abuzz with activity, and exuded an air of rugged determination. On his left stretched a long, polished wooden desk where receptionists efficiently managed the steady stream of people coming and going.

Their voices mingled with the rustle of papers and the clinking of coins, creating an air of purpose.

Beside the desk stood several towering bulletin boards, plastered with missions and requests.

Countless parchments pinned to them fluttered slightly, each one was filled with details for the Walkers.

”What is this place?” Linthia muttered under her breath.

Upon hearing this, Rex answered while keeping his eyes trailing around as if searching for something, ”Itʼs called a Void Hub, Walkers came here to take missions and complete them. Pretty simple stuff, and weʼre here to become one”

Only Walkers could accept the missions here and be rewarded for them.

I need money to at least sustain us without worry, several missions should do the trick.

Of course, taking on missions would help him attain coins but Rex didnʼt need much, only enough.

Once he was settled and reached the Ascendant Spirit rank, he would start traversing the Black Rift on his own—and hunt down Voidal Monsters. As he has the Systemʼs scanning feature, there was no need for him to worry about the darkness.

He could see the stat windows of Voidal Monsters before they could attack.

Linthia is a Seeker too so it should be fine.

Glancing over to his right, tucked into the far corner, was an open inn.

Rows of sturdy tables and long benches hosted a diverse crowd of Walkers who were socializing and taking a break after finishing a mission. Laughter and spirited chatter mixed with clink of mugs could be heard from the distance as people indulged in food, drink, and camaraderie.

”Iʼll go ask around on how we could apply as Walkers,” Linthia said.

She already walked away before Rex could say a word.

System, sheʼs one of the people of my kingdom, right? Can you mark her somehow?

Of course, Rex could follow his scent but it would be faster if he could find her easier than scent.

As soon as that notification appeared, Rex could see her stat window hovering above her.

Even though it wasnʼt what he had in mind, it was fine.

”I donʼt think only the people—from Arbitgea gathered here,” Rex mumbled inwardly, finding several people who seemed really sleek and dignified for a working city like Arbitgea. ”I guess not every city has a Void Hub, thatʼs probably the case”

Just then, Rex stumbled forward as someone bumped him from behind.

”Watch where youʼre standing,” A burly man with a comparable stature as Rex commented.

He has four other guys with him, the ideal group of Walkers.

However, as the burly man turned to look at Rex, he found that Rex wasnʼt looking at him.

Somehow, the fact that Rex gave no reaction from being bumped hard from behind irked the burly man.

”Hey, Iʼm talking to you!” He barked again.

Rex turned towards him this time, his eyes were glowing red and as sharp as a blade.

At the exact same time, the burly man could feel his danger sense being riled up—as he unconsciously took a step back, ʼEh…? What happened? Why did my body move on its own like this? This is the first time…ʼ

Just one glance from Rex alone made his entire body feel fear.

It was almost as if he was standing in front of someone who was way above his league.

However, that shouldnʼt be the case.

ʼNo, that canʼt be. Look at him,ʼ the burly man thought, scanning Rex from top to bottom. ʼNo matter how I look at him, heʼs nothing but a nobody. Someone like me shouldnʼt be acting like this in front of someone like him!ʼ

As the burly man was in turmoil, Rex frowned.

Peeking from behind the burly manʼs long silver hair, right on his leather strap was an insignia.

An insignia that bore the emblem of an ink-black scorpion with a venomous stinger.

Rexʼs eyebrows dipped into a frown when he saw that—he averted his gaze to the other side and saw the banners hung around the place had the exact same emblem as the burly guyʼs. Getting into trouble with him is a bad move, Iʼll lay low.

”Sorry, I dozed off” Rex smiled apologetically, scratching the back of his head.

Upon hearing this, another guy sneered, ”Use your eyes if you donʼt want us to take them,”

Instead of retaliating, Rex bowed slightly toward them before exiting.

Just then, however, his shoulder was grabbed from behind by the burly man,

”Hey, Iʼm not done with you…” He said threateningly.

Seeing the burly manʼs smug look, Rex swallowed his anger and smiled again, ”Itʼs my fault, I donʼt want any trouble. If you could forgive me this one time, I will never be in your sight ever agai-” Just before he could finish, the grip tightened instead.

Almost instantly, Rexʼs expression darkened, ”Walk away if you know whatʼs good for you…”

”What did you say to me?” the burly man barked in disbelief, he didnʼt expect Rex to shift his demeanor like that. ”Fine, you asked for this fucker. Letʼs settle this like a man. If youʼre acting arrogant, then you must be sure that you could back it up!”

”Sigh…” Rex shook his head. ”Now youʼve done it. I did warn you”
