The Invincible Full-Moon System-Chapter 1233: Damn Lunar Bee!

Back to the Chrono Hollow.

Swoosh!

As soon as the mutated eagle was influenced by the Moonlight Corruption skill, catching up to the mutated falcon was not a problem, anymore. With a couple of powerful flaps, the gap between them was covered.

It was shocking how fast the mutated eagle became.

Rex would definitely be blown off of her back if he didn't stick his body close.

As the aerial race continued, the mutated eagle and Rex finally neared the mutated falcon's tail. In a burst of energy and at Rex's command—the mutated eagle, flared her wings to the sides and readied her deadly, fiery talons.

She was aiming to seize the mutated falcon and throw it down.

Despite their momentum in the sky, Rex preferred to battle on land, ensuring no escape.

Not only would he be at his peak battle prowess on land, but even if the mutated falcon was somehow able to free itself from Rex's grip—the mutated eagle, would be ready to slam it to the ground again.

However, they both underestimated the mutated falcon.

Knowing that one of its winds was hurt led them to underestimate it.

Swoosh!

In an instant, the mutated falcon changed its trajectory, soaring skyward.

Channeling the mist around it, the mutated falcon shot higher, dodging the eagle's talons.

Rex watched it vanish into the clouds, his eyes widening with realization. He recalled even a scared animal has a breaking point. If cornered, they would undoubtedly, fight back in order to preserve their lives.

Due to the immense amount of fear the Lunar Bee was feeling, it reached the breaking point.

Its animalistic instinct came back and it was now a fight to the death.

"Get away, it's coming down!" Rex shouted and tugged the mutated eagle to the side.

He tried directing her with his immense strength but was too late.

Scree!

A high-pitched screeching sound exploded from above followed by a sonic boom—as the mutated falcon, radiating with an intense amount of energy plummeted from above, like a shooting star, colliding with the mutated eagle.

Both creatures screeched in pain, the force of the impact reverberating through them.

Even the mutated falcon, though the attacker, was not unscathed.

On the other hand, the mutated eagle wobbled, desperately trying to steady her flight.

But her left wing was badly wounded making her struggle against the turmoil.

Having no control over the sky, Rex grunted as he tried to hold on.

Since he was mounting the mutated eagle, he was suspected of the same dizzying turmoil in the air. Because of that, his eyes widened when he found that he lost his grip, the violent jolt sending him tumbling through the air.

Everything spun around him for a moment, the world a blur of colors and sounds.

Seems like there was a reason I'm a land troop, I hate fighting in the sky!

Rex cursed as he struggled to regain control, his senses reeling roughly from the disorienting freefall. As he plummeted, the air around him shifted, the familiar sensation of deep coldness was nowhere to be felt.

It was only then realization dawned upon him.

He was being thrown out of the Chrono Hollow, back to the Humming Damned Forest.

Steadying himself—Rex looked down and saw the familiar tall trees of the forest in a frenzied blur. But due to the direction of his freefall, he proceeded to look over his shoulder and came to be greeted by the sight of a mystical city.

It was Dargena City.

With a final, desperate twist, he braced for impact.

I'm going to be hit by the Circling Sentinel and then crash into the city's barrier.

Flexing his muscles, as he prepared to be struck—Rex frowned when he could only hear the howling wind rushing against his ears. But as he looked back once again, he came to realize that the Circling Sentinel didn't respond to him.

He was already extremely close to the city's barrier.

<Notice: the castle sensed its Ruler, all preventive and defensive mechanisms are stopped>

"Ah, fuck! Turn it back on, turn it back- woaah!"

Boom!

Boom!

Crash!

Despite his desperate attempt to reactivate the city's preventive and defensive mechanisms, it was already too late. Rex passed through the barrier, as if it wasn't there, crashing through a high tower in the central city and then a dome before landing hard on the ground.

Shaking off the disorientation, he climbed from the crater and mess he created.

Rex looked around, only to find himself inside a cathedral.

From the towering arches, stained glass windows casting vibrant hues, and intricate carvings adorning every surface, he was no doubt inside a cathedral—presumably, the main cathedral on the north side of the city.

At this realization, Rex could only smile wryly.

But then, veins bulged around his neck, "System, why in the hell are you slow to react?!"

"Aren't you supposed to be stronger than even Gods?!" He barked.

Considering that he already told the System to reactivate both the preventive and defensive mechanisms of the city as he fell down, they should've been activated instantly. But instead, nothing happened and he crashed into the city.

<Notice: the castle is connected and only can be commanded by the user, its Ruler>

Upon hearing this, Rex's angry face stiffened, "Oh..."

Due to the intense situation, he forgot that he was the only one who could do that.

Not even the System could command the castle.

It's not a part of the System's features, so it doesn't respond to the System like that.

All commands to the castle could only be done through Rex, and the System was only able to guide him to do that, not command it directly. Immediately shot down—by a single reply Rex felt like an idiot.

Just then, distant screams echoed as the city's inhabitants were startled and confused.

Each one of them reacted to the sudden breach with utter panic.

Someone who could breach their city's supposed impregnable defenses should be strong if not the strongest, so this made them extremely afraid. Like a flock of bees, the city guards, clad in Red Prudian armor of varying realms, rushed to the scene.

Despite the possible worst scenario, they stood their grounds in front of the cathedral.

All of them drew their weapons, ready to fight.

Hearing the echoing footsteps of the person inside, their hands began to sweat.

It made the grips on their weapons need adjustment several times.

But as the entrance to the cathedral was opened and they were poised to throw themselves at the entity on the other side, they were taken aback to see a familiar figure, instead. It was none other than Rex, the Emperor himself.

His presence, while unexpected, completely dropped the escalating tension.

"Calm down, it's me" Rex announced with his haggard condition.

Upon hearing this, the city guards instantly went to their knees but they were relieved that it was the Emperor, not a malicious enemy. Even the people, who were still around, stopped at the glimpse of Rex.

One of the city guards, braver than the others asked, "Are you well, Your Majesty?"

"I'm fine, I was dealing with a matter" Rex replied—slapping the dust off of his clothes before he focused back on the city guards. "Stand up and inform the people that it's okay, we're not under attack" He commanded.

Not wasting a single second, some of the city guards did as they were told and rushed away.

Despite the destruction, the city was recovering on its own.

Rex was only glad that the cathedral was not opened, so nobody got in the way of his fall.

It would be irresponsible of him if there were casualties to this mistake.

Don't come out, continue your training. It's only me, and I don't need help.

Aside from informing the people that it was fine, he also sent telepathy to the others, who were cramped inside the castle, training. He would feel bad if he disturbed their training—because of this.

Scree!!

Just as soon as he did that, he gazed skywards when he heard another loud screech.

Rex saw the mutated eagle and mutated falcon wrestling in the sky.

Upon seeing the mutated falcon, Rex's face darkened as he went back to his Werewolf form.

"Enough is enough, let's end this" He muttered resolutely.

Channeling his power and anger without holding back—Rex cracked the ground underneath him as he launched himself to the sky with a simple leap. His eyes were locked onto the two birds in the sky, wrestling.

Pointing at the Circling Sentinel, he commanded it to attack the mutated falcon.

Responding to his command—the two Cricling Sentinels—shaped like ethereal wolf wraiths, glowed and shot toward the mutated falcon like twin shooting stars. In an instant, they both reached the wrestling birds, sinking their spectral fangs into the mutated falcon's wings.

Both of their strengths were enough for the mutated falcon's weakened state.

Both managed to halt the mutated falcon's frantic flapping.

Moreover, because of this, the mutated eagle was able to break free from the fierce struggle.

Rex, now outside the city's barrier, activated it and landed atop it, surveying the scene with a predatory glint in his eyes. Determined to end the fight decisively—he raised both hands and pointed them skywards, summoning storm clouds, "Sky Rupture Assortment!"

Blitz!

Crack!

Black lightning strikes rained down, each strike met with the mutated falcon's pained shouts.

But Rex didn't stop there.

Drawing upon his lightning spirit energy and arcane mana, he cast another lightning spell.

"Ultimate Spell, Sky Imprisonment!" He shouted.

Since the mutated falcon was out of its elements—misty terrain, it couldn't find a method to defend itself from the powerful lightning spells. Unlike the last time he used this spell, there were twenty thick, dragon-like black lightning strikes erupting from the sky.

It splits the storm clouds and bites onto the mutated falcon.

Lightning was forcefully pulsed into its body, rendering it completely paralyzed mid-air.

At this point, the mutated falcon was trapped and helpless at Rex's mercy.

Knowing how annoying this mutated falcon could become, he made a vicious leap, his claws igniting with a burning moonlight energy. Coaelscing in this gathering of energy was another form of energy, much stronger than regular moonlight energy.

It was the Origin energy.

Now, at the Second Breath, Rex was free to use one of his strongest skills again.

The Unholy Claws of the Reaper, turning his claws crimson.

In a blur of motion, Rex reached the mutated falcon easily and made a vicious vertical claw strike. His enhanced crimson claws tore through, the mutated falcon's feathers, skin, flesh, and bones easily, splitting it into pieces.

Blood rained down in a gruesome cascade, painting the sky in macabre red.

Skillfully, Rex cuts the mutated falcon's head and throws it to the side.

Under the onlookers' gazes from below, they yelped in astonishment, when the blood of the mutated falcon crashed onto the barrier before sliding down to the side. It was supposed to be a normal day, but the Emperor seemed to have another plan and gave a beautiful show.

Similarly, Rex landed on the barrier before he slid down to the side.

He gracefully landed on a pool of blood in front of the west wall of the castle.

Gazing up, he saw the mutated eagle circling the sky despite her wounds—and let out a loud triumphant screech, announcing their victory. Seeing this, Rex smiled and gave her a thumbs up, "Now you are the phoenix of the dominion" he mumbled.

Not idling around, the mutated eagle circled Rex one more time before heading back.

Seems like the Chrono Hollow is not only its hunting place but also its home.

Rex shakes the blood from his claws, as he finally gets to the mutated falcon—and the storm clouds above also dissipate, leaving the sky clear once more. Surveying the mess, he clicked his tongue, as this was all the mutated falcon's fault, "If getting a Lunar Bee is this difficult—I should lower my expectations for the other kingdoms..."

If even he needs to work this hard to get one then the other kingdoms might not get one.

Just then, however, his eyes widened as he forgot something.

"Wait! Don't leave yet!" Rex shouted, trying to attract the mutated eagle's attention.

But he was already too late, the mutated eagle already got back into Chrono Hollow.

"Fuck, I haven't gone to get the Lotus of the Lunar Heart!" He cursed loudly, he was planning to get it with the help of the mutated eagle to cross the water, hosting the powerful mutated eels, but he forgot about it.

At this realization, Rex slowly turned towards the mutated falcon's severed head.

His face was contorted and twisted hideously out of anger.

"This is your fault you damn Lunar Bee..."
