The Invincible Full-Moon System

Another bonus chapter as promised, happy reading~!

———

Under the effect of the Decimation Fervor, the Passue Matriarch was rendered powerless.

As Rex anticipated, the amount of souls buried within the earth of the Dead Man's Creek was too much for the Passue Matriarch to handle. Since all Passues were also an extension of her power, those the Passues killed were also attributed to being directly killed by her.

They were counted by the Decimation Fervor skill.

Essentially, this means that every death inside the creek was considered to be her doing.

Because of that, the weakening effect of the skill was immensely harsh.

Rex's attack was doubled in power if he aimed it at the Passue Matriarch—and that made his headbutts earlier strong enough to crack her skull. Had he not deployed this skill, the Passue Matriarch would've undoubtedly won.

Unfortunately for her, Rex had a skill that was very effective against her.

It worked effectively, I guess this Whiro creature is very strong for its power to work on her.

Observing the locus of intense red souls, swarming like voracious piranhas devouring a piece of meat, Rex nodded as the Passue Matriarch had been incapacitated for now. She was quite far from being defeated. It was not that simple to defeat her, and she would eventually break free from this predicament.

Nonetheless, this setback would suffice, at least for the moment.

Breathing heavily, Rex reaches to his abdomen before he hissed at the excruciating pain.

He could handle it mentally, but his body was certainly not.

Regardless of how strong he was even with the recent breakthrough—it was still the time of the First Breath, and his endurance was finite. Not to mention—Rex already used one out of two chances for him using the Brutal Impulse without repercussion.

It left his left arm numb from any sensation, he was reaching his bodily limit.

[Say, if you need more stamina, we could give ours to you]

[Right, but you wouldn't be able to use our spirit energy anymore in return.]

Upon hearing Devo's and Amanir's voices inside his head, his eyes flickered before he made a quick decision to accept their offer—he needed all the stamina he could get. If the two of you can do that, then go ahead, I really need your help right now.

Even as he said this, his visions blurred a little and returned to normal a couple of times.

He really could feel the fatigue catching up to him.

Knowing that he was reaching his limit, Rex could only hope that the Executor was the same.

Closing his eyes for a second, he could feel a soothing sensation as Devo and Amanir utilized their spirit energy and mana to heal the wounds across Rex's body—especially the one in his abdomen that he suffered from the Passue Matriarch's scythe.

As the sensation faded, he took a deep breath and reopened his eyes again.

It was not much, but hopefully enough.

Suddenly, Edward arrived around the area and quickly approached him.

"Rex, you alright?" He asked while casting a glance at the crowd of red souls on the side, still rampaging the Passue Matriarch. "I was thinking of helping you to fight the Passue Matriarch, but it seemed you don't need any help"

Upon hearing this, Rex nodded his head, showing that he was fine.

"What about the Executor? Where is he?" Rex asked, still with labored breaths.

Edward turned and pointed in another direction saying, "He's somewhere around there,"

"The Witch is occupying him, so you shouldn't worry" He added.

Listening to this—Rex nodded his head as the Witch should be able to do that—remembering that the Executor was not in a great state earlier. But, as the two were about to move again—a dozen portals to the void were opened.

More and more chaos monsters poured out of these portals, swarming the creek in numbers.

At the sight of this, Rex lets out an exasperated breath.

Just how much stamina does he have...?

Despite his best attempt to match the Executor's power, he was still lacking in the end.

It was clear that the Executor's plan was to make a run for it towards the Symposium—using the chaos monsters as a stalling force to buy him time. He was also on his last leg—but even then, the number of chaos monsters was a problem.

Even Edward, who was brimming with confidence earlier, had his expression flushed.

In hindsight—there were at least two thousand chaos monsters and they were still increasing in numbers—pouring out like an endless tidal wave from the portals. Had it been half an hour ago, the two would've been delighted to see these chaos monsters.

But now, when they were running on empty, the sight was horrendous.

Sensing the increasing amount of chaos energy in the area, Lyra and her army came to aid.

"Royal Black Prince, let us help," She said firmly.

At the sight of Rex being able to hold his own against the Executor and even incapacitate the Passue Matriarch, Lyra's respect towards him increases—and her sentiment echoed firmly to the other Shapeshifters behind her.

Upon seeing her, Rex asked, "Where are the Humans I asked for? Bring them to me"

Nodding, Lyra gestured with her hand before the Shapeshifters brought about a hundred mix of Awakened, Black Hands, and military personnel that they captured. Having no time—not a single second to waste, Rex absorbed their Life Essences.

He did it in mere seconds, and the Humans were reduced to frail and drained corpses.

Despite doing this, Rex frowned with a troubled countenance.

Still not potent enough...? I almost reached the ninth epiphany, but almost will not suffice.

Even though he had anticipated the possibility of not attaining the ninth epiphany—the stark realization still left him disheartened. Nevertheless, there was no other choice now, the plan must be adapted—preventing the Executor from reaching the Symposium becomes the one paramount goal.

Gritting his teeth, Rex tiredly took a high fighting stance with the Blood Devourer in hand.

"On me," He uttered before he blasted forward, cracking the ground beneath him.

Swoosh!

Rex and the others surged forward like a speeding bullet, meeting the chaos monsters head-on in a ferocious clash. Overcoming these creatures wasn't tough—their numbers and unique powers were the only problems that made them annoying to face.

In a moment, the battle continued, and Rex tore through the chaos monsters fiercely.

Just then, his pupils dilated at the sight of the Executor in the distance.

He already reached the foot of the Symposium and is now climbing uphill, extremely close to his destination and goal. Gritting his teeth, Rex tried to push onward even harder, but he was soon held back by dozens of chaos monsters.

Every step he took became heavier and heavier until he eventually couldn't advance further.

Despite the Witch doing her best to stop the Executor, she couldn't keep it up for long.

A minute more is all it takes for the Executor to reach the Symposium.

Upon this realization, Rex strained his mind for a solution, but before he could grasp one, his eyes widened at the sight of figures descending from the sky above. Acting in a union, these figures unleashed a volley of spells that decimated the chaos monsters both around Rex and ahead of him.

One particular, strong chaos monster roared and bared its maw against Rex.

But in that second, a flash of red lightning crossed Rex's eyes.

Crack!!

Boom!

Rex was at a loss for words as he didn't recognize these figures, but all of them were strong.

He could sense that they were all Awakened at the ninth-rank realm.

Since Dargena City only has a couple of Awakened in the ninth-rank realm, the sight of more than three Awakened in the ninth-rank realm around him was a surprising view. Out of these Awakened, one stood in front of him that Rex instantly recognized.

Looking at this middle-aged man, Rex frowned, "What are you doing here, Sebrof...?"

Upon hearing the cold tone, President Sebrof straightens his back.

"Doing the right thing," He replied firmly, casting a glance over his shoulder at Rex.

Before Rex could respond, another familiar figure landed nearby—and it was none other than Giana. She turned toward Rex, her face lit up with a bright smile that spoke volumes. "So this is your doing?" He asked, already knowing the answer.

"I made you promise to help, but that doesn't mean I'm letting you do it alone" She replied.

Giana has always begged him to help Humanity from the start.

And Rex recalled that he decided to give her the promise, but only to defeat the Executor.

It was aligned with the System's quest, so he accepted it—nothing more, and nothing less.

Despite his disdain for the sight of these Awakened—particularly President Sebrof whom he still loathed, Rex couldn't refute that they arrived at the right time. Supplied with more ninth-rank realm Awakened, pushing back the chaos monsters would now be remarkably easy.

"Just this once, forget about the past, and let's fight as one," President Sebrof commented.

Upon hearing this, Rex clenched his jaw in reluctance.

Even though the situation was extremely tight in time, cooperating with individuals whom he harbored only distasteful memories of was not a prospect Rex relished. Nonetheless, he cast a reluctant glance at Edward, his refusal evident.

But in return, Edward gave him a nod, telling Rex to give them a chance as they talked earlier.

Swayed, Rex looked down and grimaced for a few seconds.

In the end, he surrendered and declared, "Carve a path for me to reach the Executor,"

As soon as those words left Rex's lips—President Sebrof instantly cracked with red lightning as he commanded the other Awakened to charge ahead. Like ferocious guardian knights, all of the ninth-rank Awakened turned into their Gladiator Form and advanced.

Nothing could stop their momentum as they protected Rex and Edward at the center.

Gaining their help, piercing through the chaos monsters became easy.

A moment later—Rex and Edward managed to arrive at the foot of the Symposium—with the Witch and also the Executor in sight. Both of them were battling as they ascended the slope, closing in on the Symposium of Upper Divinities.

However, in a fierce retaliation, the Executor managed to land a vicious blow to the WItch.

She got hurtled away, turning into a bronze light like a comet.

Rex and Edward quickly blurred and dashed at the Executor with all of their might.

Despite his exhaustion and divided attention, the Executor could sense the two of them were approaching from the back fast. With a grimace, he looked over his shoulder and extended a hand towards them.

"Chaos Nova!"

A beam of chaos energy shot towards them, a spiral of destructive energy.

Upon seeing this, Edward stepped forward and confronted the arcane spell head-on fiercely.

BOOM!!

Blocking that attack charred his sentient black combat armor, sending him crashing down.

"It's up to you now, Rex!" He shouted as he slammed into the earth.

Rex's eyes flickered when he heard this as he propelled himself faster, but the Executor was not going to let him get close and launched another Chaos Nova arcane spell. Guaranteeing that he wouldn't be blasted away, he was forced to use Brutal Impulse.

Kaboom!

Under the weight of his punch, the Chaos Nova was dismantled and rendered into nothing.

As he attempted to tackle the Executor, his eyes widened.

Just like earlier, the Executor's form glowed with bright golden energy as he used multiple totems that he prepared, cloaking his body with an unbreakable barrier. Due to that, Rex's attempt to tackle him was stopped, he couldn't budge the Executor.

"I win, Royal Black Prince!" the Executor laughed maniacally as he swatted Rex away.

Crash!!

Coughing a mouthful of blood, Rex was sent crashing back into the ground once again.

Opening his eyes in alert and recovering quickly, he sought to stand up once again but it was too late. An overwhelming surge of energy emanated from the Symposium of Upper Divnities—piercing the heavens with its blinding brilliance.

"He... He got the weapon," Rex uttered, his voice dripped with dread and helplessness.
