The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 455 Breaking The Seal

"WATCH OUT!!"

BOOM!

Out of nowhere, the bridge suddenly collapses because of an explosion from underneath.

With their insane reflex as a Werewolf, the three of them manage to leap out of the way as the water from the lake burst reaching high to the sky.

The three of them landed on the side while looking at the burst of water,

Swoosh!

Rex's eyes dilated when he saw a figure suddenly come out of the burst of water and head straight toward him, he also saw two other figures that are attacking Adhara and Kyran.

Clang!

Using his Amuerus Katana, Rex parried the figure's attack.

Adhara and Kyran also manage to parry and dodge the attack from the unknown figures, it was so fast that some of the people that just realized the dire situation didn't see their exchange at all.

Their exchange is lightning fast, and this shows the power of these unknown figures.

Rex and the others look to their backs and saw three figures wearing different styles of metallic skull masks, black robes are covering their whole body and they all are emitting a malicious intent ready to kill.

"Do not interrupt us or suffer the consequences", the middle figure said with his muffled voice.

Hearing this, Rex grip the Amuerus Katana with both of his hands before he replied with a demanding tone, "What are your goals here? Give back the kid you took"

"Oh... you're here for the kid?", the middle figure mutters lightly.

But then, the middle figure takes out his hand out of his black robe which surprises Rex and the others since it's not a human hand but it's more like a monster's hand.

His skin is greenish and pale at the same time, and instead of fingers, his hands are knife-like.

Rex scans the middle figure with a frown,

<Fakhir Kazemi>

Race: Impure Human

Power: Sixth Rank (Peak) - Enhanced Human

Mental: 917

Strength: 810

Agility: 871

Endurance: 622

Intelligence: 0

'Impure Human? Enhanced Human? What are they?', Rex thought as he reads the middle figure's stats, the other two figures also have the same race and power as the middle figure.

But Rex's thought was interrupted when the middle figure said, "I can't give him back to you..."

Right after he said that, the masked figure on the left suddenly takes out his arm from the black robe and points it to Rex and the others.

Almost as if his arm is just like a robot, the wrist opened revealing a barrel.

Upon seeing this, Rex and the others were once again caught off guard, but they quickly recovered and immediately leaped away before suddenly,

Bam!

BOOM!!

Just like a bazooka, it fires a powerful bullet shell that creates a big explosion upon hitting the place where Rex and the others stood before.

The shockwave from the explosion blasted Rex and the others, they got pushed away as the explosion was more powerful than a normal bazooka bullet. The explosion also produces somekind of black smoke that covers the entire place.

"What are they?!", Kyran exclaimed while covering his mouth.

Adhara who also landed on the side also frown, "Are they even human?"

Hearing this, Rex also shook his head as he didn't understand what they were fighting against, "Let's take them down first, but don't kill them. I have a few questions for them"

After saying that, the three of them activates their elemental aura that blasted the entire place.

BOOM!

With powerful energy, the three of them dash in different directions inside the black smoke after locking their sense to a target each.

Kyran's body covered with dark mana dashes forward before his entire body turns into darkness, purple flames scorch cloaked Adhara's body as each step left a fire trail of her footsteps, and lastly, Rex's body glows with blue light before turning into a streak of lightning.

On the other hand,

"Go kill them off, the poison should cripple them even though they're an Awakened. We need to prepare for the integration...", the middle figure said lightly.

His eyes then glisten violently and added, "Our agenda today must be successful no matter what"

Nodding their heads in confirmation, the two other figures dash away.

But just as the two other figures dash away into the black smoke, the middle figure widens his eyes in surprise when suddenly a streak of black lightning is already in front of him.

Rex already reaches his hand forward and grabbed the middle figure's head,

Grab!

"What?! How did you bypass the poison?!", the middle figure exclaimed in surprise.

While grabbing the middle figure's head with his huge hand, Rex cracks a smirk, he gripped the middle figure's head tighter before throwing him outside of the black smoke.

BOOM!

The middle figure got slammed to a building before he spat a mouthful of blood,

Before he can even recover from getting slammed, his eyes widen once more seeing that Rex is already standing and staring at him right in front of him, "I have some questions but first..."

Rex grabs the middle figure's neck pulling him out of the wall before in a blink of an eye, "Force Beam!

Bam!

The middle figure got flung upwards after getting kicked right on his stomach making his body bend following the trajectory of the kick imbued with red force, blood gushed out of his mouth as he got blown to the sky.

Not just stopping there, Rex appears beside the middle figure that got flung to the sky.

His movement is so fast that it even beats how fast the middle figure got flung upwards by his kick. Locking his hands together, Rex then hit the middle figure again on his back using another Force Beam.

BAM!

"Argghkk!", the middle figure grunted before he crashed to the ground and bounced back because of the powerful crashing momentum.

The air inside his lungs got forced out in an instant, and every inch of bones inside his body broke from just three attacks from Rex. The gap in their strength is too wide for him to even do anything.

Just as his body bounced after slamming to the ground,

Rex descends down from the sky turning into a sky black lightning strike again and stomps the middle figure right on his stomach with his feet mercilessly.

BOOM!

Because of that, the middle figure gasps in pain as he lies underneath Rex's feet weakly.

"Now then... tell me what you guys are doing here", Rex asks with his katana on his shoulder, he puts more pressure onto his feet while looking at the middle figure with cold eyes.

Meanwhile, outside of the battle with the three masked figures.

Another Rex is looking around the place searching for Ryze, the one that is fighting the middle figure is just an illusion he made using Lunar Dust.

Even with only 30% of his power, the masked figure doesn't stand a chance.

Just above the battle, one can see a cloudy spirit doing something. Devo channels the sky black lightning before a very subtle lightning shockwave exploded from his body vining to the surrounding like tree roots.

It spread to the entire surroundings before Devo went back to Rex,

"I don't find anyone else except for the evacuating people, they're not here", Devo reported.

Hearing this, Rex frown while looking at the pendant that clearly is glowing brighter around here compared to the other parts, "They should be here, the pendant is linked to Ryze"

Out of nowhere, the pendant in his hand suddenly becomes scorching hot.

After the pendant started heating up, Rex opens the Sudden Quest and saw that the time limit is just a bit over ten minutes from failing the sudden quest.

Rex wreck his brain before he suddenly thought, "Wait... they attacked us from below earlier"

Widening his eyes in realization, Rex stopped in his tracks before he looks at the man-made lake that is covered by the translucent barrier.

"They must be inside the lake", Rex mutters lightly.

Although the translucent barrier is still activated, there's no guarantee that the masked figures are not able to get inside the man-made lake without destroying the translucent barrier.

Even Devo's try before that covers the entire place doesn't sense Ryze,

So by this alone, Rex is quite sure that Ryze should be inside the water, and the only way to confirm it is to go inside the man-made lake himself.

Swoosh!

Rex's arm slowly emits steaming red energy and also sky black lightning,

His eyes glow with a red glint as he gets into his stance, mustering all of his strength into his arm Rex then punch the translucent barrier with all his might,

BAM!!

Since this translucent barrier spans the entire sector, it must be very sturdy.

True enough, under Rex's punch, the translucent barrier only started to flicker as some cracks appeared on it, "Huh... it's quite sturdy, I can't even destroy it with one punch", Rex mutters.

After that, Rex pulls his arm back again and punches the barrier another time.

BAM!

CRACK!

The cracks from the first punch started spreading before it finally shatters, even with Rex's second punch the barrier only shatters in a hole instead of shattering completely.

But it's good enough for Devo to puts his hand into the man-made lake water,

Blitz!

Just like what he did before, Devo spread the sky black lightning inside the water before his eyes lighting-filled eyes lit up, "I found them! They're just under that collapsed bridge!"

Hearing this, Rex then commanded, "Watch over what's going on the ground"

"Tell me if something bad is happening, I'm going to go get Ryze in there", he added before he hurriedly jumped into the water.

Splash!

Rex uses his black lightning to propel him to where Devo points at,

With the addition of the black lighting that acts as a propeller, Rex's speed inside the water is not at all way slower than his speed on the ground.

He's like an electric fish that swam inside the lake,

At the bottom of the lake in the far distance, Rex saw a bubble that seems to push the water away and inside the bubble is a subtle glowing light with two masked figures beside it.

Since he's inside the water, his eyes are not as good so he decided to just go there.

Rex channels his black lightning into his legs and after he finished preparing, his legs exploded with a  lightning shockwave from his Blitzing Cry spell.

His control over the lightning element has reached a terrifying level,

The addition of merging with Devo amplifies his control over the lightning element, and now even though Blitzing Cry is supposed to explode the body with lightning, Rex can force it to explode on only his legs instead thus propelling him forward even stronger.

Splash!

In the blink of an eye, Rex burst into the bubble surprising the two masked figures.

Upon getting inside the bubble after tearing through a barrier surrounding the bubble, Rex saw that one of the figures is Billy since half of his mask is broken, Billy widens his eyes seeing that Rex suddenly got inside the bubble.

But Rex's eyes soon landed on Ryze who is lying unconscious in the middle of a formation.

Without wasting any time, he grabs Ryze before the masked figures can react.

After grabbing Ryze, Rex immediately jumped into the water again before he instantly swim back up leaving the masked figures in utter shock.

This happened in just a few seconds and they were very surprised.

Bursting out of the lake again, Rex brought Ryze out of the water before he lies Ryze on the ground lightly and inspects him.

<Scanning...>

<80% of Ryze's consciousness has been occupied by Zaddrass>

'System, How do I save Ryze from Zaddrass?!', Rex asks hurriedly while looking at Ryze.

Ryze's body is emitting a horrifying amount of fire that even started melting the ground and any objects around him, even Rex's body started burning but he persevere thanks to his force barrier and his regeneration ability.

<Reinforcing the Pendant with powerful runes will stop Zaddrass from breaking the seal>

'What will happen to Ryze if I were to do that?', Rex asks again.

<Half of his soul will be burnt leaving him in an unrecoverable state of mental paralysis>

Reading this, Rex gritted his teeth as he can't let that happen.

Although stopping the rebirth of Zaddrass is the top priority, he will be too cruel to Ryze who he took in if he were to let him become a mentally crippled person.

It's not what he wants to do, and he will not let that happen.

Just as he is thinking on the ground, the two masked figures emerge from the lake before landing not too far in front of Rex.

"HAND OVER THE KID!", Billy shouted.

Hearing this, Rex turns his cold eyes to Billy who is caught off guard by the sudden violent aura coming from Rex, "I'm warning you, Billy..."

"I don't care what happened to you, but if you force my hands... I will kill you", he added.

Billy was taken aback as he unconsciously steps back upon hearing what Rex said, he grits his teeth wanting to dash but the other masked figure beat him to it,

SWOOSH!

The masked figure dashes toward Rex with a blade in his hand intending to attack.

Just like the other masked figures, this one also is not normal. The closer the masked figure gets to Rex the bigger his body becomes, it's like the masked figure can control how big his body can get, "Give him back you fool!!", he shouted.

But before the masked figure can even near Ryze and Rex,

Slash!

In a blink of an eye, Billy saw his friend's head got decapitated cleanly.

The head stumbles over from his shoulders before falling to the ground with blood spurting out of the headless body of the masked figure.

Even Billy didn't see what Rex did, it happens very fast!

<Killed a Peak Sixth Rank Enhanced Human, Obtained 30,000,000 Exp>

Seeing that Billy is unmoving in his place, Rex turns his attention to Ryze again.

Rex didn't even seem bothered by killing the masked figure which surprises Billy, it can be seen from his stiff body and wide eyes showing how shocked he currently is.

Ignoring Billy, Rex looks at Ryze and suddenly thought of something.

'System, will I be able to do that? Do you have a method for that?', Rex asks inside his head.

<Information will cost 50,000 gold, does the user wants to continue?>

Without a hint of hesitation, Rex immediately nodded his head.

After reading the notification that appears just after he decided to buy the information, Rex grabs Ryze's body before he went into the lake again.

Rex went straight back to the bubble with the formation before,

He puts Ryze in the middle of the formation again just like before, he then hurriedly buys a couple of things from the system's shop.

Following the system's instruction, Rex modified the formation engraved on the ground.

It only took him a minute to finish the modification on the formation, and right after he finished, the formation glows with an even more powerful red light making it brighter.

Not finished yet, Rex also made another smaller formation on the side and put the pendant there.

With all the preparation done, Rex nods his head before he looks at the unconscious Ryze and started engraving a couple of runes on his body, 'This is the last part...'

BOOM!

Out of nowhere, Ryze's body becomes even hotter as the red light turns dark red.

Ryze's body started bursting with a powerful blood-red fire that even the surrounding water started steaming at a very fast rate, the fire is very powerful and it probably won't take long for the entire man-made lake to get drained because of the fire.

Even Rex's regenerating ability needs to work even harder to even stand a couple of feet beside Ryze, the fire is simply astonishingly hot.

While giving Ryze a firm look, Rex then thought, 'Zaddrass is breaking the seal'

'Brace yourself Ryze. This is going to hurt very badly, but it's way better than being a crippled'
