The Invincible Full-Moon System-Chapter 1096 Idea Under Pressure

Meanwhile, the battle shifted direction and now moved towards the Dead Man's Creek.

It was a grand spectacle to view as the chaos monsters were stacking themselves to protect the Human Army from the reaches of the enemies, while the Demons, Humans, and Vampires were moving while doing anything they could to breach the chaos monsters.

However, not everyone went and followed them.

Calidora was stealing glances at the battle going away from her with a troubled look.

One could see her distress clearly as she seemed to be impatient.

"Like I told you, we should tell Elder Nolacula about her state," Nezera argued, voicing out her thoughts to Solomon. "Even though your position was taken, the baby inside her still belongs to one of the strongest beings in the era, if not the strongest. Not to mention, we don't know what kind of power that baby would have. Had you told him about this, this situation wouldn't have happened in the first place"

Upon hearing this, Solomon clenched his jaw in complete silence.

Had he told Elder Nolacula about this then Calidora would be grounded at the castle.

She wouldn't be able to participate in this battle like this.

"No, we can't, there's no saying what Elder Nolacula would do if he knew," Solomon retorted.

Unlike Nezera, who saw the Elders as benevolent and prioritized the greater good, he knew the harsh reality behind their facade. Even until now—Solomon remained uncertain of Elder Nolacula's stance on the Royal Black Prince.

If Elder Nolacula had bad intentions, then the baby would be jeopardized.

Solomon doesn't want that, not for his first grandchild.

Meanwhile, observing from a distance away was Adhara and also Kyran.

"None of the Vampire Army contain any Vampire from the new era..." Adhara mused—looking intently at Solomon, Calidora, and Nezera who were encased in a blood bubble. "Kyran, what do you think they are doing here?"

"Beats me, they were probably worried for Calidora," He replied nonchalantly.

Adhara rubbed her chin in contemplation.

Even though Kyran's assumption was logical, she couldn't shake the unease in her heart.

Call it intuition, but she knew that there was something going on.

In the midst of her contemplation, her eyes widened as she saw Calidora abruptly swallowed by the earth and vanish. It caught Solomon, Nezera—and the other Vampires completely off guard, not expecting her to disappear.

Shifting her eyes to the side, Adhara saw Calidora reappearing a mile away, near the creek.

Only then that she realize what was Calidora trying to do.

Reacting quickly, Solomon and Nezera—followed by the other Vampires sprouted their blood wings and darted in Calidora's direction—chasing her with all of their might. All of them were evidently stressing out.

'She's going to help Rex,' Adhara pondered. 'I should go and help too, I can't lose out on her'

Evelyn and Kyran might not be able to continue with the fight, as one was unconscious while the other was exhausted completely—but both she and Ryze could still fight. Although going into the creek and leaving behind the others was risky, it should be fine.

But as she was about to do that, she was abruptly stopped by a voice.

"Don't do it, Adhara," the voice echoed.

Upon hearing this, Adhara glanced to her side and found the source of the voice, Gistella.

Catching a glimpse of her, Adhara ran to her and gave her a big hug.

It was because of her and Evelyn that Gistella made this extremely illogical move and went to the Executor for help, jeopardizing her own safety for them. Naturally, Adhara felt guilty—and was glad that Gistella was fine.

"You don't have to do this for us, you could've died," Adhara uttered, hugging Gistella tighter.

Listening to this, Gistella smiled wryly, "Everything would be explained later,"

"Hmmm...?" Adhara pulled back, raising an eyebrow in confusion as to what she meant.

However, rather than alleviating her confusion, Gistella stepped aside and addressed Adhara directly. "I understand your thoughts, Adhara, but I'm here to tell you that our mission here is complete. All of you have already helped Rex tremendously, and that is enough"

"Enough? What do you mean? The battle is not over yet," Adhara was puzzled further.

But she quickly shook her head, "You, me, and Ryze could still fight. Come—we'll help Rex"

Upon hearing this, Gistella shook her head, disagreeing.

"The battle inside the creek would be beyond our reach, we would only be in Rex's way," She elaborated with a firm tone. "Beyond this point—it's up to Rex. We can only trust that Rex will win and announce his triumph,"

Adhara was not going to take this, she knew that she could still help the fight.

It is too soon for her to call it quits right now.

Just as she was about to say something, Ryze came from behind, "It may be for the best,"

Shifting her eyes towards him, Adhara could see blood seeping out of Ryze's draconic scales—and staining his lips as he reverted back into his human form, plainly out of strength. It was clear that he couldn't go on any longer.

Blocking the Chaos Nova already zapped a lot of his strength.

In addition, his draconic energy also still couldn't dispel the chaos energy inside of him.

Adhara looked at Ryze and couldn't muster any words.

Knowing that it was hard for Adhara to accept their current state, Gistella grabbed her hand, giving her strength to accept—"I understand," She uttered with a darkened look. "Best for us to move to a safer place then, away from the battlefield,"

On the other hand, oblivious to their conversation, Calidora was sprinting with all her might.

Earlier, she was able to find an opening and escape.

Both of her parents were arguing to handle her, and this provided the opening she needed to make an escape. Glancing over her shoulder, she saw that the others were chasing after her, trying to stop her from putting herself in more danger.

Despite going as fast as she could, the others were closing onto her quickly.

In terms of speed, her father was the fastest.

Calidora racked her brain to shake off the others—but her thoughts churned as she couldn't think of anything. Any spells she tried to use were weakened in her current state, and even if her spells were normal, Solomon could easily cancel her spells with his Vampiric Eyes.

Just as she was fretting, Lady Luck came to bestow her grace.

Crash!

Galloping from the side, aiming at Solomon and the others was Lisnguanx.

Severely injured, the creature bore numerous scars of demonic energy—evident in its battle against the Archdemon of Sins. Despite its wounds, it remained steadfast—its spirit burning with determination to continue the fight.

As long as it's in this reality, it couldn't satiate its hunger for blood and war.

Being targeted—Solomon and the others were forced to fend against Lisnguanx first.

Calidora, on the other hand, smiled and trained her gaze forward.

Looking at the creek with the battle still ongoing, she squinted her eyes with determination.

'I can be considered his second life, he will need my help'

Swoosh!

Meanwhile, inside the Dead Man's Creek.

Despite the Countess' expectations, Rex tries to tear through the corrupted runic energy.

He harnessed his powers and was able to shatter it.

Not once did he doubt of his own power.

In the span of his life, Rex has always attempted to achieve the unattainable, daring to even aspire to kill a high-rank Supernatural—a Werewolf as a regular human. Nevertheless, in the end, he managed to achieve that aspiration.

Rex managed to even surpass it as he became the strongest Werewolf in the era.

Naturally, this made him quite stubborn.

Due to that, the Countess' low confidence was nothing but fuel for him to try even harder.

Now that he succeeded, a grin adorned his face as a celebration.

On the other hand, the Awakened sucked in a cold breath at the horror-inducing sight.

For better or worse, the corrupted energy from the totem protected them.

00:40

He had been lucky and became one of the first ones to reach the creek—and along the plain, he had seen his comrade being intercepted and received a brutal attack from the enemy. But it was surprisingly ineffective.

Many were hacked and diced by stronger Demons and Vampires, but they came out okay.

For better or worse, the corrupted energy from the totem protected them.

It seemed to be invulnerable but turns out it had a limit, and Rex managed to break that limit.

Giving no time to feel more dreaded—Rex used the Drain Touch skill and forcefully absorbed the Awakened's Life Essence. In mere seconds—the Awakened was completely drained from his entire life force, leaving a frail corpse behind.

Savoring the Life Essence and absorbing it into his cursed source, Rex exhaled lightly.

Despite his success, a frown crept to his face.

"In a contest of speed, I don't think I would be able to break through before the Executor was able to reach the Symposium," Rex whispered to himself—aware that the process of piercing the corrupted runic energy is quite tedious.

Aside from being energy-consuming, it would take too long if Rex had to do that each time.

"Is there really nothing I could do to reach the ninth epiphany...?" He uttered lightly.

Just as he was contemplating, his senses were alerted.

Recovering from the attack, the chaos duplicate came like a comet and tried to tackle Rex.

A trickle of blood could be seen on the corner of its mouth, but that was about it.

Swoosh!

Crash!

Like a cat and a mouse—Rex made the outer ring of the creek into their battlefield as he ran from the chaos duplicate, aiming to make another opening like before. Even though it wasn't plausible to do, he had no other choice but to keep targeting other Awakened in the hope of reaching the ninth epiphany.

Rex was hurled backward, crashing brutally into a nearby cliff, splattering blood all over.

Gritting through the creeping fatigue, Rex preserves and puts his trust in the Shapeshifters.

A few minutes later.

Swoosh!

Crack!!

Rex was hurled backward, crashing brutally into a nearby cliff, splattering blood all over.

Not stopping at that, he also coughed more blood out of his body.

"Damn it," He cursed—gritting his teeth in sheer frustration. "I was barely able to harvest Life Essence from three Awakened, and it was minuscule compared to the amount I need in order to reach a breakthrough" Rex lamented, hissing in pain as the attempt to extract Life Essence only put him at a disadvantage instead.

While he was busy focusing on harvesting, the chaos duplicate focused on killing him.

Looking ahead, he could already sense the chaos duplicate heading towards him.

Groaning, Rex tried to stand up but the pain intensified.

Come on, think! I should be able to at least kill the chaos duplicate, there must be a way!

Even though the chaos duplicate was a perfect copy of the Executor—it lacked the ability to adapt and think like a living being. Compared to the Executor's real self, the chaos duplicate should be a little bit easier to defeat.

Raising his hand, Rex observed the cursed energy that danced before his very eyes.

It was the only thing that he could rely on to win.

But even then, there's simply no way that he could merge cursed energy with anything.

I already tried merging it, but it was simply resisting being merged, like oil to water.

Just as he contemplated that, Rex's eyes widened as he realized something. He quickly put the Blood Devourer near the cursed energy on his other hand and found that it was reacting the same, the cursed energy was resisting.

Following that, he tried to merge the blood energy with his own moonlight energy.

Observing closely, he could see that both energies were interacting.

However, unlike the reaction shown by cursed energy, there was no strong resistance.

Yet, he had anticipated this very result, considering how the Blood Devourer had augmented his physique despite being a Werewolf. From that alone, Rex could tell that the blood energy was not hostile to moonlight energy, a revelation he had foreseen.

Maybe because blood is the essence of living beings, he doesn't know for sure.

But the important thing is that it wasn't resisting. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Looking at this, a devious smile crept to Rex's face as he found a method that might work.

"Guess I'll see how potent this Bloodborne Offering Spell..."
