The Invincible Full-Moon System-Chapter 1234: A Hassle

"I hate that fucking Lunar Bee..."

Due to the anger and frustration directed at the Lunar Bee, he felt, he failed to remember he needed to grab the Lotus of the Lunar Heart first, with the help of the mutated eagle. Not to mention, he also forgot another thing.

He wasn't supposed to kill the mutated falcon.

Instead of killing the mutated falcon, Rex was supposed to devour it and acquire its skill.

Fortunately, it was only recently killed.

An item, in the System called the Soul Assembler, was able to re-piece the mutated falcon's soul—and remake an exact copy of its life force energy. Naturally, because of its usage, this item was extremely expensive to Rex's liking.

Rex was forced to spend 10 million gold for a single-use item.

Even though it was expensive, he couldn't pass the skill the mutated falcon possessed.

In the earlier fight, it didn't use that skill at all.

Maybe due to the deteriorating mind that the Lunar Bee caused, but this was a good thing.

Currently, Rex was piecing together the mutated falcon's body parts.

Since the mutated falcon was split into several parts from his powerful slash, its parts were separated, but not too far from each other. Rex dragged each of the parts and placed them at the center.

His hands were dirtied with blood already.

As he was doing this, his daggering eyes were fixed on the side, towards a creature.

Lying meekly at the center of a bloodied split skull, the split skull of the mutated falcon was a gleaming—beautiful white bee-like creature with yellow strikes. It looked like any other bee— only slightly bigger, with claw-like front legs, and an abdomen that was fat and chunky.

Of course, this creature was none other than the Lunar Bee.

It gazed at Rex with puppy eyes, seconds away from crying, seeking for mercy.

Despite his human form, the Lunar Bee could sense the immense moonlight energy behind his disguise, which terrified it. Its tiny body quivered, and its wings fluttered weakly, as if it was pleading for mercy.

Seeing it acting like that, Rex clicked his tongue, "Stop looking at me like that!"

"If it weren't for you being a coward, I wouldn't have messed up this much" He added angrily.

Even then, the Lunar Bee kept looking at Rex the same way which annoyed Rex greatly.

Averting his attention from the Lunar Bee, he focused back on the mutated falcon's carcass.

"It's missing a head, but this should be enough to use the Soul Assembler," Rex mused, once again, bitter at the thought that this could be avoided if he wasn't too emotional. "At least, in the end, it ended up working my way"

Opening his inventory, he takes out the Soul Assembler, taking the shape of an ancient scroll.

He opened it before the energy that came out of it enveloped the carcass.

Just then, energy-formed constellation points began to emerge from the carcass, levitating above it. Only then did Rex realize the Soul Assembler had crafted an exact replica—and he commanded the System to use Devour.

<Please select the skill the user wanted to Devour.>

Upon doing that, a list of different skills he could choose to Devour appeared.

Not even needing to see the other skills, Rex decided on one skill at the very top of the list.

<Echo of the Sky skill has been chosen!>

Also, use my remaining Skill Upgrades to make the roar tailored for me.

<Affirmative, the Devouring process will start...>

Rex had read through the Echo of the Sky skill, and that skill was a powerful roaring skill that generated devastating shockwaves capable of shattering and evaporating enemies. It would then stun lock the enemy who did die for five seconds and steal their energies to strengthen the caster for a limited amount of time.

It was a skill that used both strength and agility stat to amplify its destructiveness.

Since he has no roaring skill, the System favored this skill a lot. Experience tales at novelbuddy

Because of that, there was no reason for Rex to not use his remaining Skill Upgrades on it.

Immediately after the last notification, the exact replica was absorbed by Rex.

<Congratulations! The Echo of the Sky skill has been successfully devoured!>

<Distributing the user's Skill Upgrades...>

<Congratulations! The Echo of the Sky skill has been altered to the Echo of Night Spirits!>

Upon seeing this, Rex smiled and proceeded to read through the new skill description.

As he read through it, he couldn't hide his vibrant smile.

"Hmm... with this skill, fighting weak but many opponents would best scenario" He mused.

Now that he had finished, Rex slowly turned his gaze back to the Lunar Bee.

Despite seeing Rex being occupied absorbing the mutated falcon's skill, the Lunar Bee, didn't move from its original spot. It was unclear whether it couldn't move, it didn't want to move, or is it too scared to move.

Gut feeling alone, Rex believed that it was too scared to move.

Striding toward the Lunar Bee slowly, Rex squinted his eyes, "Hey there, little guy..."

"You're a pain in the ass to catch, you know that?" He added raspingly.

Rex approached the Lunar Bee and held it in one hand, raising it into the air as it glowed even brighter against the backdrop of sunlight as if it were trying to outshine the sun. It was a very hard chase, and his anger was also incited by this little creature—but now that Rex held it, he felt warmth and excitement.

It felt incredibly satisfying to finally have the Lunar Bee in his grasp.

Fearing to lose it, he summoned a brilliant yellow jar with a wave of his other hand.

A jar that materialized out of thin air.

It was a blessed skill from the Honey Moon that he got earlier known as the Honey Jar, it was meant to contain Lunar Bees. Even though the Honey Jar was not that big—it could probably contain more than a dozen of Lunar Bees.

Despite his urge to squish the Lunar Bee and be rid of it, he couldn't do that.

He knew it was crucial for the upcoming Honey Moon.

But even then that didn't stop Rex from cruelly and violently shaking the Honey Jar.

Rex watched in satisfaction as the Lunar Bee was thrown in all directions inside, causing it to become dizzy. Each sound it made as it hits the glass was music to Rex's ears, he kept doing that as he made his way back to the Chrono Hollow.

Moments later.

Even though it was a hassle, Rex went back and called for the mutated eagle again.

Since there was a bond between them, the mutated eagle was not hard to find.

It went smoothly, fortunately, and by sunset, Rex already come out of the Chrono Hollow.

Rex walked out of the mist barrier and emerged on the other side but unlike hours ago, there was something in his hand. An item, that took the shape of a golden lotus glowing with astral energy, branching out its golden roots onto Rex's hand and wrist.

Naturally, this was the Lotus of the Lunar Heart that he was searching for.

Mounting the mutated eagle, he could pass the water where the danger was rather easily.

Despite the gravitational pull from the mutated eels inside the water—pulling anything down, the mutated eagle could simply fly high enough to where the gravitational pull couldn't reach them both.

Following that, it landed on the island where Rex could take the Lotus of Lunar Heart.

As opposed to becoming strong enough to pass the water himself, this was faster.

He needs to make the Countess well as fast as he can.

"I have some questions that she might know the answer to," Rex mused lightly.

Putting the Lotus of Lunar Heart in his inventory, he made his way back to the city leisurely.

Upon reaching the front of the city gate, Rex paused for a second, before he decided to use his Ether Blink skill to not alert the city guard of his presence and landed right on the castle, on the balcony to be exact.

Stepping inside the castle, he was met with complete silence.

"It's quite silent with the others training," Rex mused and strode inside.

Even though he wanted to search for a suitable place, to have a talk with Amanir, and Devo about visiting the Spirit Emperor, as the training chamber was occupied, Rex decided to go to the basement instead.

Maybe the Fourthborn is his major enemy right now, but he couldn't ignore the Angels.

He needs to learn more about their motivation for coming here.

Fortunately, Calidora and Adhara caught one, and the Angel was in the basement.

Arriving at the basement door, Rex could already sense the Angel on the other side, and the Angel didn't seem to be a strong one, "Peak seventh-rank, to the early eighth-rank realm, at best, this Angel is a small fry but it should know something useful"

Pushing open the door, Rex was greeted by the sight of a bed chamber.

After all, this basement belonged to the Witch of Chaos once.

As the door swung open—Rex was greeted by a figure sitting gracefully, at the center of the dimly lit chamber. Despite the shadows, the figure glowed, emanating pristine white sparkles like falling snow.

It was the captured Angel, and from a simple scan, Rex knew her name was Catherine.

Catherine was adorned in a white gown, cinched with a golden belt and a weightless—barely seeable, translucent sash crossing her form. She lacked the typical wings Angels depicted to have but had a mix of gold and white halo.

Not above her head, but behind it, the source of her ethereal glow.

Hearing the door, her bright golden eyes shifted towards the door and met with Rex's.

Upon seeing him, her pupils dilated, and she averted her gaze almost instantly.

Moreover, she began panting heavily as if she had run a marathon.

Giving no thought to her odd reaction, Rex observed her through her radiant appearance and noticed her body seemed to be fragile, her skin paler than usual, and her blood was pumping slower, indicating she was not in a good condition.

Adhara tampered with her energy, scorching her energy flows.

Calidora sucked her blood, weakening her body.

Just from a glance, Rex could tell what those two had done after capturing Catherine.

Rex took a step into the room and he noticed Catherine was breathing heavier than before, it seemed, she was responding to him. Her slow blood flow, was beginning to spike—indicating the fear inside her.

It was not a foreign sight, Rex was used to people fearing him.

But this time, however, it was more than it seemed.

Catherine could see it clearly, the amount of wickedness emanating from Rex's presence.

In her perspective—despite her facing the ground out of fear and could only view Rex's legs, she could see black tendrils of evil branching out from him like a thick shadow, dripping with the blood and anguish of his victims.

His shadow devoured the shadows in the room, even the Angel light she was emanating.

As an Angel, she was acutely sensitive to evil beings.

Because of that, she could feel it, she could feel Rex's hands were drenched in the very evil that had once swallowed the world in ancient times. She has ever seen it once in the past— and she was not expecting to see it again.

Not to mention, she could also tell Rex was more than a mortal.

Naturally, her body trembled as he approached.

Stopping in front of Catherine, Rex looked down at her, "Should we do this the normal way?"

Even though none had tried to interrogate Catherine because he hadn't told anyone to do so, Rex expected her to be extremely loyal, and try to resist answering. After all, the Angels were said to change from their past virtues.

If their change was drastic, then their reason should be very strong.

Due to that, Rex was not going to take Catherine lightly. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

But then, he was surprised by her answer.

"I'll talk," Catherine muttered meekly. "I'll...I'll answer anything you want to know"

"Huh...? Just like that?" Rex pondered out loud, startled.
