The Invincible Full-Moon System

Meanwhile, in the Humming Damned Forest.

Hiss!!

Linthia got pushed back several meters before her back slammed against a tree.

She was trying to course through the forest silently without alerting any mutated animals but one of them—a mutated snake managed to spot her, through her disguise. Knowing that Rex, would need to be notified of what was happening, she was determined to find him.

But she was obstructed by the mutated snake, hissing at her with hostility.

"A little bit more and I would reach the border..." Linthia uttered, clenching her jaw tightly.

She was already extremely close to the border, so she was frustrated.

Swoosh!

In an instant, the mutated snake launched its head forward with lightning speed, mouth wide open, fangs bared, and eyes locked onto Linthia. Even though it was sudden—swift, and also precise, Linthia managed to dodge the attack barely.

Rolling to the side to dodge the strike, she leaped and clenched the staff in her hand.

Just like most equipment in Dargena City, it was made of Red Prudian.

"Dust of Duplicate!"

Bang!

Bang!

Swinging her staff with full force, she hit the mutated snake's side.

As opposed to hitting it one time, it was struck two times.

Under the Dust of Duplicate spell that she casted—there was a golden dust copy of her staff trailing behind, and it followed the trajectory of the staff—hitting the mutated snake. Despite her efforts, the attack barely did anything to the mutated snake's skin.

'I don't have enough strength to hurt it with brunt force!' She exclaimed inside her head.

Recovering, she landed on the ground and cast another spell.

"Fairy spell, Brilliant Dust!"

Swoosh!

Out of nowhere, eight inverted sharp swords made entirely of golden dust manifested above the mutated snake's body. With a downward gesture from Linthia's hand—the sharp swords, drop down and stabbed the mutated snake's body.

Three stabbed through causing the mutated snake to wail, while the other five got deflected.

Seeing this, Linthia's eyes sparkled as she could defeat the mutated snake.

However, as she thought of that—her eyes widened seeing a thick tail whipping towards her.

Pahh!

A resounding thunderous crack echoed through the forest as Linthia got hurled—to the side, vomiting a mouthful of blood, and got slammed to the tree, "I let myself get distracted, when will I learn?"

Even though she tried her hardest, she was always a sucker for good news.

She got excited too soon, the fight hadn't come to its conclusion yet.

Just then, the mutated snake wrenched its fangs free from the tree trunk and turned towards Linthia with its slitted, dangerous eyes. Its reptilian eyes glowed ominously with a bronze hue as an armor of earth began to form around its coiled body.

Compared to before, its aura spiked higher, showing that it had gotten stronger.

Upon seeing this, Linthia forced herself to stand up and flee.

But as she did that, a painful yelp was forced out of her when she suddenly felt a sting.

Knowing what she was planning to do—the mutated snake fired—bronze energy from its venom gland that flew like a bullet, and pierced through Linthia's stomach. It stunned her body as the mutated snake came in for the strike.

In defense, Linthia could only create a barrier to protect herself and crossed her arms.

She could do nothing but take the blow head-on and hope to survive.

However, as she closed her eyes out of fright, she suddenly heard a loud crashing sound.

Following that sound was a wailing hiss coming from the mutated snake.

Confused as she was not hit by anything, Linthia opened her eyes and was surprised to see a young man's back right in front of her. On the side was the mutated snake, its earth armor was shattered, and its head was severed.

It took Linthia a moment before she realized who it was, "L- Lord Kyran...?"

"For one of the captains, you sure are helpless," Kyran suddenly said, stabbing Linthia's heart with his words—as he looked over his shoulder. "The Emperor chose you because you have a heart, but even with his help, you're still stuck at this level. Are you even worth—receiving his help? Because this is quite pitiful,"

Upon hearing this, Linthia was instantly filled with a sense of dread inside.

She couldn't muster any words, there was only pain in her chest.

Both Gelmar and Dindora managed to evolve their bloodline under the pressure of the war, it was only she, who didn't manage to achieve that. Compared to the two, Linthia was surely— the weakest captain.

"I guess a Fairy is only as it is, a Fairy," Kyran scoffed and averted his gaze away.

Not even minding her anymore—he walked ahead, towards the border, "Head back, you're only going to be a burden if you come. I'll find the Emperor and notify him about the chaos portals and also the Angels while you go play house with Naela"

As Kyran went on, Linthia forgot to breathe and only looked down at the ground.

Despite the harsh words, she bowed her head as Kyran left.

...

Inside the Chrono Hollow.

After spending a couple more hours in search of the clues, the others eventually gave up.

Nothing was found other than snow and more snow.

Even though Rex was still extremely adamant—and annoyed that they couldn't find anything, Gistella managed to persuade him to end the search as the others were getting too tired. But that doesn't stop him from wanting to come back and search some more later.

Just like that, Rex and the assault team headed back to the rally point.

Of course, he didn't forget to address the mutated eagle that he was going to come back.

For the time being, it could search for the mutated falcon on its own.

Along the way back, they encountered more mutated animals, but got slaughtered by Rex, as he was on a bad moon. None of the mutated animals stood a chance when Rex got serious— it was a sight to behold for the others seeing the full display of Rex's strength.

Upon reaching back to the desolate plain again, they didn't need to wait.

Flunra and his team were already there, and they were in a worse condition than Rex's team.

Naturally, being away from Rex in this place would drain them even faster.

"So, what's on the west side? We didn't really reach your side" Rex asked as he stopped.

Even though it was unnatural, Flunra could feel that there was a weird air, around Rex's team but he thought nothing of it and replied, "It's mainly a massive lake, we could only thread the side, but we did try to get the other end of the dominion, and we could get outside fine"

As Rex's team was focusing on the mutated birds and scouting, they didn't get to the edge.

Fortunately, Flunra's team was able to check the other end.

Since there was no problem in getting to the other side of the Chrono Hollow—then it was a matter of pacifying the dominion. But Rex would need to do that later, for now—there is one more important thing to do.

"Everyone get out," Rex commanded, telling the entire assault team to leave.

Most of them were exhausted, so it's better to send them back first.

Glancing towards Gistella, he added, "Go with them and wait for me and Flunra outside"

Upon hearing this, and sensing that Flunra and Rex had something planned—she obediently nodded and led the others outside. Mounted on Delta, she departed, leaving Rex and Flunra alone inside this place.

"Could you still go on, Flunra?" Rex asked, seeing that Flunra was a bit disoriented.

Flunra waved his hand in response, "I'm fine, it's a bit tiring that's all"

"Pool your blood there and then I'll start," He added, pointing to the spot on the side.

Rex—without hesitation, bite on his wrist, with his sharp fangs before reaching his hand out, letting the blood to rained down to the ground. He was not disturbed—by the amount of red blood he was letting flow out of his body.

Only when his blood created a pool that he stop and step aside.

Seeing this, Flunra nodded before he sprung into action.

In preparation for what he was about to do—Flunra transformed, into his Werewolf form—his powerful frame hunched over the ground. He then dipped his two fingers into the blood pool and began to draw on the ground.

His fingers moved with an almost artistic grace, each stroke deliberate and precise.

Complete seriousness was etched on his face.

It made it seem like he was an artist at work on his magnum opus.

Gradually with each stroke of his fingers, he crafted an intricate and detailed formation.

He curved the blood into complex runes after runes, and each completed rune glowed with a faint energy. As he continued—the air around him, seemed to be dyed with crimson hue. Rex could see that the runes drew energy from Flunra and himself directly—sapping both of their strengths with every symbol he finished.

As the formation became clearer, Flunra's breath grew heavier.

Rex could see the exhaustion emerging more evident from Flunra's countenance.

Finishing the long process that took about fifteen minutes to complete—Flunra drew a circle to mark the blood pool at the center—highlighting it as a crimson full moon, the Blood Moon, before he straightened his back.

He reverted back to his Human form and turned to Rex, "You can now place the sacrifices,"

Upon hearing this, Rex nodded and stepped forward.

Earlier Rex already discussed the fact that he needed to gain strands of divine energy for the quest, relating to the Countess' recovery, and surprisingly, Flunra knew two ways, and one of them was faster than the other.

Surely, Rex opted to take the faster method, but there was a catch.

He could do it, but he was going to anger Kaiser, the Lunirich God of the Blood Moon.

Knowing that their relationship, was already a mess anyway—with Rex taking a portion of his power forcefully and gaining a King Mark there's no need to hesitate against Kaiser. Because of that, he went ahead with the faster method.

Flunra said that the faster method is through a sacrificial.

Every Lunirich God had a different method of the sacrifices they were going to accept.

It differs from one to the other, but Kaiser of the Scarlet Garland, the Blood Moon is the most upfront, as he accepts through blood and corpses. Due to that very reason—Rex was storing all of his kills inside the inventory.

Had it not for the sacrificial ritual, he would've let Delta or Gistella devour the corpses.

But he needs them for something.

Opening the inventory tab, Rex took out the mutated boars and other animals that he killed.

He stacked them all within the formation Flunra had just made.

Due to his bad mood on the way back, he killed more mutated animals, and now the total kill that he did was already creating a hill of carcasses. All of them were placed neatly inside the formation before Rex stepped away.

Sensing the sacrifices, the formation began to steam with kingly energy.

It was made through Rex's blood, so this was not a surprising sight.

"Now what?" Rex asked.

Paying close attention to the formation, and only when its entirety glowed that Flunra replied.

"Repeat the incantation after me exactly as I say it to activate the ritual," He instructed.

Upon hearing this, Rex nodded and faced ahead.

Pausing for a moment, Flunra steady his breaths before he begins the incantation.

"Ruler of the rising blood, heed our call... From lunar realms beyond our sight, bless us with thy lunirich might. Blood and corpse we offer to the Blood Moon's decree. Accept our plea. Through sacrifice, we honor the Kaiser of the Scarlet Garland"

"Accept our plea. Grant me the divine might of a Lunirich God!"

As soon as the last words escaped Rex's mouth, the formation exploded with power.

The blood moon kingly energy that steamed out of the formation became intense almost in an instant, infatuated by the overwhelming power of another. Rex could feel the power was increasing in the air as the carcasses slowly dissipated into more kingly energy.

Smiling from ear to ear, he looked up into the sky as if he were staring at the Lunirich God.

It was as if he was staring directly at Kaiser of the Scalet Garland in the eyes.

Give me your power, I'll suck you dry until you're no longer a God, Kaiser!
