The Invincible Full-Moon System

Splash!

Rex hacked a Choas Spawn with a perfect roundhouse kick—executed flawlessly, severing its head entirely and killing it instantly, as its lifeless body fell to the ground with a thud. He tilted down at the carcass and raised an eyebrow, "Some of their carcasses remained..."

"In fact most of them remained, this could be a problem" He mused with a frown.

Cleaning the Chaos Spawns in the area took some time.

Not that they were strong but they came in different shapes and were hard to deal with.

One of the hardest ones to deal with was the insect-like Chaos Spawns that were emanating a small amount of pure chaos energy—unlike the others—making it hard to detect them, and also their troublesome tendency to hide, some were even hiding inside people's bodies.

By the time Rex finished the Chaos Spawns in the south, it was already night.

"I still need to destroy their carcasses and close down the Chaos Phantom," He mused.

Seems like his plan to hunt Angels has taken a different turn.

<Warning!>

<One of the user's pack members, the Female Alpha, Adhara is in danger!>

Out of nowhere, Rex was greeted by two notifications.

And the second notification brought grave news of Adhara being in danger—but as opposed to being worried, there was hardly any change in expression on Rex's face. In fact, a devious smile blossomed on his lips.

Rex could feel the connection with Adhara despite being far away.

He knew from that connection where she was currently.

Since she still seemed to be near the city, it was clear that she was executing the plan.

A plan that only she and he knew, no one else.

"Now reason is not a problem for me anymore, Adhara got it for me," Rex mused cryptically.

From the glint flashing in his eyes alone, something big was going to happen soon.

Deciding to move again, Rex headed over to the other part to check for other Chaos Spawns.

A distance away from where Rex was Evelyn, Catherine, and Radiel, they already made their exit from the castle, and came to the Desert Orc village. Most of them were evacuated, thus there were not many Orcs around here, only the warriors defending the village.

It was already quite safe too so they didn't need to be alert.

Most of the remaining Chaos Spawns were the ones hiding, and they were not that strong.

Evelyn was watching Rex fight while Catherine was healing Radiel from his wounds.

"Is he always been like this?" Radiel suddenly asked. "He's an Emperor"

Upon hearing this, Evelyn turned towards him briefly, before she fixed her gaze ahead again, back to Rex, "He's the Emperor alright, but he has been fighting all his life so there was not a chance for him to stay away from the battle. It's the kind of man he is"

"What about you? Aren't you going to help?" Radiel added questioningly.

But this question made Evelyn chuckle.

"Unfortunately for me, he's too protective and wouldn't let me anywhere near the blood," She replied with a sigh, knowing how stubborn Rex could be about this. "I have my own role—and so does he..."

However, as soon as she said that, all of their attention was pulled to a direction.

All three of them were looking back at the mound of sand, meters behind Radiel.

Sand was cascading down the mound, not in a fixed manner—it happened irrhythmically, but whenever it happened, the cascade of sand was flowing harder, almost as if there was some activity within the mound.

Catherine, who was the nearest decided to stand up and head over to the sand.

No aura or any trace of energy could be sensed from within the mound.

In her mind, there shouldn't be anything inside.

As she got closer and reached her hand towards the mound, it suddenly exploded, forcing a yelp from Catherine's mouth as she stumbled backward, eyes squeezed shut. Expecting the mound to host nothing it in, she was very startled when it erupted.

However, as a few good seconds passed, she felt no pain whatsoever.

If something was hiding within the mound, she should've been attacked by whatever it was.

Opening her eyes slowly, the world was a blur for a moment and when her vision cleared, her pupils dilated at the sight of three thick tentacles jutting from the sand, missing her face only by an inch.

Realizing there was a Chaos Spawn hiding inside the mound, she gulped harshly.

Slowly, she turned her head around and saw the scene behind her.

Radiel was as startled as she was but Evelyn, on the other hand, was able to react and catch the tentacles, that were aiming at her. Frowning deeply, she made a forceful yank, pulling the Chaos Spawn—a ball of tentacles no bigger than a toddler—from the mound.

Gripping it tightly as it wailed to break free, she activated her crimson fire.

Swoosh!

She scorched the Chaos Spawn to death and threw its burnt carcass to the side.

After she did that—Evelyn looked at the burnt carcass—before shifting her gaze towards the two other Angels ending at Catherine. For a moment, they all stood silent, not understanding what had just transpired.

Before any of them could say anything, Rex arrived behind Evelyn.

He heard the yelp coming from their direction so he instantly came to check on them.

"What happened?" He asked, scanning the entire scene with his eyes.

Even though he was not here when it happened, he could already tell, that a Chaos Spawn attacked them but Evelyn defeated it before it could do anything. Rex could tell that much, but he didn't understand the odd atmosphere.

Upon hearing this, Evelyn recovered from her trance and pointed at the Chaos Spawn.

"It came from that mound there," She said, explaining what had happened. "It was one of the hiding Chaos Spawns. Catherine, was the one checking it—but instead of attacking her—the Chaos Spawn aimed for me instead. It passed both of them and charged at me"

Rex frowned when he heard this.

He had killed many Chaos Spawns this day, and all of them were incredibly hostile to anyone.

It doesn't matter who was near them, they would always attack.

Naturally, this weird behavior, was incredibly surprising—and made Evelyn, look at Catherine, and Radiel suspiciously. But even then, the two Angels' expressions seemed genuine, both of them didn't know how that happened.

"Do you have any explanation for this?" Evelyn asked, her eyes squinting.

Pressured, Catherine was the first one to answer, "No, we didn't know why it ignored us!"

"It could've sense that you are the most dangerous out of us," Radiel added.

Upon hearing this—Evelyn paused for a second before averting her gaze elsewhere, she also had some doubts inside her mind that the Chaos Spawn might've sensed her aura. Unlike her—Catherine was way weaker, and Radiel is wounded.

For the Chaos Spawn, it made sense to take Evelyn out first before attacking the rest.

Rex observed them attentively, he still found this weird.

Even then he decided to intervene, "Go to the center of the village, the Chieftain has already checked that area thoroughly so it should be safer there. Mavenna is also finishing up on her side, she should join you shortly"

"After this, it's done, right?" Evelyn asked, lifting her short heels that were sandy. "I want to take a cold shower, and be done with this day, I hate being in a desert like this" She added, voicing out her discomfort of being here.

Seeing her complaining, Rex chuckled, "I never asked for your company though,"

"Just shut up and get this over with, I don't feel safe here and that's your fault" She rebutted.

Not even waiting for a response, she walked away with puffed cheeks.

Following right behind was Catherine, supporting Radiel to walk.

Rex stayed behind while watching them walk away, his eyes then fixed on the pair of Angels, numerous thoughts—coursing through his head. Even though Radiel gave a logical answer to the suspicion, he was still suspicious.

Something felt odd, at least after what happened to them.

Before he could continue, he abruptly stopped when he heard a commotion from the side.

Rex, investigated the commotion, and from the sound of the commotion, it was coming from a group of Desert Orcs—and they didn't seem to be trapped in a fight. No battle cries or the steely clashing weapons could be heard, only a heated argument.

Hmm... what could they possibly arguing about?

Considering that there was an emergency taking place, Rex found this weird.

He was also curious—as to what was more important than cleansing their village from Chaos Spawns to make them argue, like this. Peeking from behind a hut, as expected, he saw about twenty Desert Orcs forming a circle.

At the center were five Orcs, circled by the others, wearing desert cloaks and hoods.

Rex perked his ears, listening to their conversations.

Even though they were using Orc language, he could understand them perfectly.

Back in the confrontation against the Curse of Love, he had learned the Orc's language.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to kill them!"

"Don't be foolish, their companions are helping us cleanse the village, and they are strong"

"I don't care! I'd rather the village be destroyed than let those bastards live!"

Upon saying that, the five Orcs at the center tried to break free, but the other Orcs quickly pinned them down and held them in place. No matter how much the five Orcs struggled, it was impossible for them to break free.

"Let go! Our brothers were slaughtered by them! How could you all do this?!"

"Something must've happened to them, they were not like this in the past"

"Yeah, think about what they've done for us in the past, their reinforcements helped us a lot"

"So what?! That's the past, and I'm living in the present!"

Just as they were arguing, fiercely—Rex, who was listening to their conversation, frowned at the sight of several Chaos Spawns creeping towards them from the sight. No Chaos Spawns were seen around, these ones came out of nowhere.

Seeing that the Desert Orcs were oblivious to the approaching Chaos Spawns, Rex moved.

He came out of his hiding place and pointed two fingers at the gnarly creatures.

Blitz!

His fingertips fired black lighting strikes that bounced from one to another, zapping and also paralyzing them. Dashing forward, he stood beside the startled Desert Orcs, who were quite surprised to see him in the area.

Not minding them and before the remaining Chaos Spawns could attack, he activated a spell.

One of his favorite black lighting spells, the Black Field Orko.

Swoosh!

Blitz!

Almost instantly, the ground in the area turned black, sprouting black lightning tentacles that ensnared the remaining Chaos Spawns, easily. With a wave of his hand—the black tentacles, split the captured Chaos Spawns in two, ruthlessly ending them.

Only when the threat was eliminated did Rex turn to face the astonished Desert Orcs.

"Don't let your guard down, it's still not safe," Rex said in the Orc language.

Upon hearing this, the group of Desert Orcs nodded repeatedly, as they drew their weapons again, preparing to sweep the area. Rex glanced over to the five pinned Orcs—but before he could ask about them, his breath got stuck in his throat.

Out of nowhere, a massive aura pressed down on them like a tidal wave.

It was an overwhelming aura that shouldn't exist in the world of mortals.

An aura so powerful that the Desert Orcs were instantly flattened to the ground at its touch, feeling their bodies being crushed slowly—while Rex felt his legs tremble, as he struggled to remain standing.

"This is..." He muttered before his eyes widened.

Recognizing the familiar aura, he glanced in its direction and quickly leaped towards it.

He didn't hesitate to activate both of his King Marks to better withstand the pressure.

Upon landing on the west side of the village, Rex raised his gaze and was greeted by another purple portal. A Chaos Phantom emerged, slightly larger than the previous one. However, the reason that truly made his heart pound was not the Chaos Phantom but the probing, massive eye that filled the entire space on the other side of the portal instead.

<Warning!>

<Warning!>

<The user has zero chance of defeating the being within the Chaos Phantom!>

<Notice: It's advised to run!>

<Warning: the user's berserk stat is rapidly increasing!>

<Run!>

<Warning!>

At the sight of this monstrous eye, his vision was flooded with crimson warning notifications.

The System was urging him to run right now, but his feet were firmly planted on the ground.

Rex's surprise turned into flaming wrath.

Instantly—he morphed into his Werewolf form with his eyes glaring hatefully at the creature, and without thinking much, he sprinted ahead like a berserker, veins bulging across his neck as he roared, "YOU!!!"
