The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 522 Dubitable Winner

Although the sheer aura coming from Gistella's body kept rising to a ridiculous level, the decision of using the Berserker's Curse skill is something that she regrets almost instantly. It's her blunder to use a skill that she doesn't really know except for Rex's bestowed skill.

Roar!

Rex sneered seeing Gistella's eyes explode right after she used the Berserker's Curse skill.

The Berserker's Curse skill is a skill that will increase the physical prowess of the user exponentially but it comes with a cost, the cost of using this skill is that the user can't regenerate at all. It blocked every healing or regenerative ability.

Since they are Werewolves, terrifying regenerative ability is their core power.

With the White Omicron aura that Adhara is emitting right now, any Werewolf that doesn't have a Royal Bloodline or is accepted by a full moon will find their entire body suffering immense pain and their eyes exploding into meat paste.

The sole reason Gistella can still see Adhara is because of her terrifying regenerative ability.

Because of that, she's able to withstand Adhara's aura, and the prickling pain in her eyes that feels like her eyes are burning comes from her eyes being healed as quickly as they are being destroyed by Adhara's aura.

It's a constant struggle between the aura and the regenerative ability, but that allows Gistella to see.

Activating the Berserker's Curse skill also disabled the regenerative ability which leads to her eyes bursting into meat paste, Gistella instantly turns blind because of that leaving herself open for attacks.

Looking at this Adhara was surprised, but she quickly recovers from her surprise.

Roar!

A ground-shaking roar escaped Adhara's mouth as she saw Gistella stumbling back in pain holding her non-existent eyes, she then dashed in with both elements flaring on her back boasting their prowess.

The moonlight from the opened ceiling is reflected on her white claws as she dashed in.

Slash!

Slash!

Just like a white shadow that blitzes around the desolate plain blessed by the moonlight, Adhara sprinted on all four before attacking Gistella from all directions with her corrosive white claws. Steaming claw marks started to appear all over the bronze scales covering Gistella's body.

Despite having no eyes, Gistella is still a terrifying Werewolf with very sensitive senses.

Noticing that Adhara is coming from the back intending to make the utmost use of this opportunity that presented itself, Gistella creates a sturdy blue barrier protecting her back. But that was shattered mid-materializing as Adhara's movement is so fast.

Gistella was forced to meet Adhara's claws with her own, but then something surprising happened.

p "Hmmm...?!", Rex on the side raised his eyebrows in surprise.

In front of his eyes, he saw Adhara and Gistella's claws were about to meet but then something weird happened. Just when both claws are about to clash, Adhara's claws went through Gistella's claws.

As surprised as Rex, Gistella also frown when she can feel her attack missed.

But not stopped there when both of their bodies should've collided, Adhara's body once again turns translucent and went through Gistella's body. It's like she's a ghost that can shift through things, that is exactly what Adhara did.

'System, what is that technique Adhara used?'

<Just like the Dark Prince's ability that allows the prince to phase through dimensions to dodge an attack, the White Omicron also has a similar ability. Anti-Werewolf inherit that ability called Intangible Phasing which allows the Anti-Werewolf to be untouchable for a certain period>

'That's very strong, I want to learn that...>

<Ultimate Lunar Spell, Shifting Lunar Dust is recommended>

<Does the user wants to buy the Shifting Lunar Dust spell for 250,000 Gold?>

'Hmmm, I'll check it out later. It's expensive but if it's similar then why not?'

Roar!

Splat!

Adhara manages to sneak in and stab Gistella right on her stomach and penetrate through it, her eyes then blaze with purple fire and wind before her claws exploded. It makes Gistella cough a mouthful of blood as her body feels burning from the inside.

With the red crescent moon fading from her forehead, Gistella's yellow eyes formed once again.

Holding Adhara's arm that is stabbing through her stomach creating an excruciating pain that weakens her body by the second, Gistella's piercing burning yellow eyes glared at Adhara.

"It seems the fight has come to an end... beat her half-dead Adhara"

Rex nonchalantly instructed with his arms crossed in front of him, with Adhara's claws penetrating through Gistella's stomach there should be no chance she turned this fight around. Adhara's claws are a bane for a Werewolf, and it will weaken any Werewolf from the constant scratches.

Despite the instruction from Rex, there's a hesitant expression on her face.

But just Adhara was about to follow through with the fight, her body suddenly stopped.

Even Rex and Kyran who are already losing interest in the fight with Gistella being stabbed frown. They heard weird thumping sounds that although subtle can be heard vividly in their ears, it's like the thumping sound of a heart.

DEG!

DEG!

DEG!

Slowly the thumping sounds started to get louder and louder.

Adhara heard the thumping sounds and it's coming from near her, she looks back at Gistella before her eyes were attracted to the black heart in the middle of Gistella's chest. It's thumping powerfully and creating a couple of black soundwaves.

Grrr...!

The sizzling pain all over her body makes her mind cloudy, she's struggling to stay conscious.

Despite all of that the thumping sound coming from the black heart jolted her mind awake forcing her yellow eyes that are losing vigor slowly becomes fierce again, it's like she's rejuvenated.

Upon seeing this, Adhara immediately intends to retract back her claws.

'W-What...?!'

Adhara exclaimed inside her head finding that she was unable to pull her arm away, the bronze scales around Gistella's stomach that is penetrated becomes even compact and tighter. Not just being held in place by Gistella's abdomen muscles, but the bronze scales also intervene.

While looking at Adhara struggling to break free, Rex can't help but frown.

Ever since Gistella turned into a Werewolf Fiend the system has always considered her to have the highest fighting potential because of her bloodline, it's starting to come to light knowing that Gistella can absorb pure essence of negative energy and also her Scale of Fiend.

Rex has considered that it's because of that she has the most potential out of the others.

But from what he was seeing right now with the thumping black heart getting louder and louder, it seems he hasn't seen the full extent of the Werewolf Fiend bloodline in full display.

'She shouldn't have any more pure negative energy, how can she keep utilizing the bronze scales?'

<Gistella is activating the Werewolf Fiend's innate skill, Last Resonation>

'Last Resonation...?'

<Similar to the user's Extreme State skill, the Last Resonation burns the direct essence from the black heart. It's an innate ability solely possessed by Gistella alone. Upon activating the Last Resonation, Gistella will become even stronger but it's a state that wouldn't last long>

'Is it dangerous for her to use the Last Resonation?'

<Extremely!>

<It's an innate ability that is sharper to Gistella rather than to Adhara. Burning the direct essence of the black heart caused an extremely agonizing and long-lasting pain to Gistella, and it's not worth the effect it brings. Her power will surpass the limit. But only a desperate Werewolf will use this kind of skill>

Upon reading the last notification from the system, Rex can't help but frown.

'So she decided to punish herself knowing that Adhara doesn't like hurting her huh... she also seems to intend to help Adhara not hold back. An act of self-sacrifice? But that won't do...'

Adhara gritted her teeth trying to pull her arm away to no avail, the clenching power of Gistella is too powerful. But just like before, Adhara used the Intangible Phasing skill to make her body untouchable physically.

With that, she jumped away before raising her eyes to look at Gistella.

Because of the thumping black heart that supplies Gistella with an endless amount of pure negative energy essence. Her power also rises by the second but at the same time, her expression shows a devastating amount of pain.

"Stop it Gistella, you're exerting yourself too much!"

Looking at the painful expression she was wearing, Adhara gritted her teeth knowing that she was pushing her limit to the absolute maximum. Despite her wanting Gistella to stop, she knows why Gistella is doing this.

Stabbing her alone makes Adhara feel guilty and weird, and it seems Gistella realized that.

If Adhara can't hurt her enough then Rex wouldn't tell them to stop, so she decided to put the punishment into her own hands. Punishing herself using her own efforts is what Gistella is doing.

Upon hearing the thumping become louder, Adhara can't help but look at Rex.

But what she saw and received was a cold and indifferent look on Rex's face, with his arms still crossed in front of him nonchalantly showing that he has no intention of interfering. Adhara was utterly helpless as she readies herself for the final clash.

BOOM!

A powerful shockwave exploded from Gistella's body as the bronze scales slowly turns purple.

Fueled by the direct essence of the black heart, the bronze scales slowly turns purple as her aura rises to a terrifying height. Something that even Adhara starting to feel pressured by her bearing. Despite the unhealed wounds, Gistella raises her eyes to look at Adhara dauntingly.

Knowing that if she kept going on she will be hurt, even more, Adhara decided to attack.

Gathering every ounce of power that she can muster right now, Adhara's eyes glow even brightly as the halos in her eyes emit even more terrifying energy. The mark on the side of her face also did the same as she jumped high into the air.

Every ounce of the white energy slowly gathers onto her right white claws.

The entire arena starts to shake as both of their auras clash against each other for domination, even Rex saw the runes on the walls starting to vibrate as they are trying to exert more energy into protecting the entire room.

Upon seeing Adhara's attack, Gistella's eyes flash as she tightens her muscles to receive the attack.

With the bronze scales now already turning purple color, she's easily reached a new height of her power that triumph over her previous versions. Gistella also gathers every ounce of her strength into her right claws just like Adhara did.

Kyran can feel the choking amount of power coming from both of them.

It's like watching two Werewolves fighting against each other during his time before meeting Rex, he feels very puny in comparison to the heaven-reaching energy that both of them have amassed.

ROAR!!

ROAR!!

Both of them let out a mighty howl as they swung both of their claws at each other.

Adhara whose eyes are already completely glowing with white light slowly got dyed with red as her blood vessels burst, she can feel the mounting pressure from amassing this much energy from the first ever true fight in her new transformation.

The same goes for Gistella that feels her entire body burning with pain.

Most of the pains that she's feeling right now are not coming from the unhealed wounds left by Adhara but from her thumping black heart instead. Every time the black soundwave was created from her black heart thumping, she can feel as if her life got prickled.

But knowing that this is going to be their last clash, both of them give it their all.

Kyran who was watching this final clash glances to the side before he frowns seeing Rex isn't there, but his eyes were instead attracted to the huge rune on engraved on the wall glowing ever brightly.

KABOOM!!

Along with the exploding sound, Kyran can feel the ground shakes.

Looking down to the ground he saw the entire arena ground cracked under the pressure. But at the same time as the ground cracked, his legs gave out and he falls to his knees. There's suddenly a wave of aura that feels choking that forces his legs to kneel on the ground.

Upon slowly lifting his head, Kyran then saw the scene in front of him.

In between Adhara and Gistella lies a hulking dark-furred figure that grabs both of their hands with ease, the figure stands towering like an impenetrable wall despite the raging energies coming from Gistella and Adhrara.

From nothing but a glance, Kyran instantly recognizes the dark-furred figure.

It's Rex's Werewolf form, the Royal Black Werewolf.

Rex stops the last clash knowing that the both of them will end up in a bad state, he can't allow that to happen especially when they're mission is nearing. Both of them need to be in at least a recoverable state, not becoming crippled for a month.

Slowly Gistella widen her eyes as the black heart thumping stopped.

Realizing that Rex has finally stopped the fight, every ounce of her strength starts to dissipate as her vision turns blurry. Rex let go of her arm as she stumbled back a couple of steps before finally falling to the ground face first.

Meanwhile, on the other side. Adhara's eyes are bleeding and she was not in her Werewolf form.

Contrary to Gistella that is still in her Werewolf form until the end, Adhara reverts back into her human form just before the clash happens. With her heavy breathing, she slowly looks at Rex that is looking at her with an unreadable expression.

After letting go of Adhara's arm, she falls to the ground kneeling with rough breaths.

But despite knowing the outcome of the battle, Rex can't help but take a glance at the unconscious Gistella as she puts on quite a powerful front despite fighting an unwinnable fight. It's shame that the Last Resonation has too powerful of a setback, if not then the outcome would be different.

'She might've won huh...'

<Hierarchy Combat has finished!>

<Adhara Alpenore has prevailed over Gistella!>
