The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 531 Battle Under The Waxing Gibbous Moon (1)

The waxing gibbous moon brightly lights up the sky with sparkling stars as its ornaments.

In the Werewolf world, the gibbous moon is a sign of terror as it represents the coming full moon that will make them berserk and unable to quench their thirst. But for the Royal Families, it is a sign of strife as it's the moon just before the full moon where they are the strongest.

During many instances in the radical era, the Werewolf race was saved by the full moon many times.

Back then Werewolves would only wage war when the gibbous moon already reaches at least 70 to 80 percent, it was known by many Werewolves as a fairytale that dropped down from generation to generation.

Nobody knows the real reason anymore as the reason has been wiped by the age of time.

It was in fact the Werewolf Origin that made these rules as back then the full moon only made them stronger, not berserk. Fighting nearing the full moon is preferred as when the full moon arrives, they will triumph over their enemies.

That fairytale was not just some old sayings, but an actual tactic used during the Radical Era.

As far as the approaching full moon, lady luck is also on their side whenever they fought during the gibbous moon. But now an unforetold predicament happened when lady luck was uncertain of two sides, it was a fight between two opposing Werewolf packs.

Just before their campaign into human territory, Arnulf finds that the gibbous moon is not filled.

It was still about 50% pretty far from the requirement of the rules given by the Werewolf Origin himself, but since it's already a long time he decided to ignore it for once. Reigning in power for a moment is a pleasure that he seeks after all.

But how he regretted that right now, Arnulf completely regretted not heeding the Origin's rule.

Across the plain stood the opposing side that blocks him and the other Werewolves behind him to reach the ninth rank Awakened that they will use to feed Zegrath, the Dark Prince. It's not Awakened that stood against them, but another pack of Werewolves.

Led by the Royal Black Prince, the opposing side is already quite strong already.

Even with the presence of the Royal Black Prince the Betas behind him already feel heavily suppressed, but now two additional sacred beings appeared right before his eyes pushing his side to the corner.

Royal Luna and the Anti-Werewolf.

Back during the Radical Era, one brought cheerfully and joy as an additional queen of the Werewolves while the other is a damned creature that must be killed or hunted down to not cause a ruckus in the Werewolf territory.

They are beings of high standing, and now he needs to face all of them at once.

"CLOSE YOUR EYES AND CLENCH YOUR TEETH!"

Adhara stepped a foot in front while simultaneously opening her wide frame, she then roared menacingly that is followed by the charging inwardly white energy that exploded. It expands a couple of miles before finally dispersing away.

ROAR!!

It breezes past Rex and the others that are protected by Evelyn's purple energy.

Even though some of the white energy of the White Omicron manages to pierce through the purple energy from Evelyn a bit, it's not a problem for Rex and Evelyn. Only Kyran is slightly affected despite having to drink an elixir before coming here.

On the other hand, Arnulf and his pack of Werewolves suffered greatly from that.

Growl!

Roarr!!

Many of the Betas just like what happened back during Adhara and Gistella's fight have their eyes burst into meat paste, and they all fall to the ground unable to move with their body bleeding all over.

As expected, four of them are still standing despite being greatly influenced by Adhara's bearing.

Those four all have the bearing of an Alpha, Rex can sense it.

But upon laying his eyes on the Werewolf just beside Arnulf, Rex's eyes bulged realizing that Ruston is also amongst them. He was the one responsible for killing his parents back during the Supernatural Emergence.

Just looking at Ruston alone sparks relentless anger inside of him.

With bleeding eyes that have their veins turn red, Zegrath looks at the Royal Black Prince before his eyes widen. A Werewolf can remember a scent for the rest of their lives if they have somekind of history with them.

Killing a family is one of the powerful motivations, but Zegrath remembered the scent differently.

It was not too long ago that he fought with this Royal Black Prince but not in this state, back then both of them are fighting over a mutated plant blessed by the Dark Moon, and also they were still very weak.

But now their reunion once again brought a surprise for Zegrath, he remembered Rex clearly.

"YOU BASTARD!! YOU'RE THE ROYAL BLACK PRINCE?!!!"

Zegrath roared angrily catching all of the others' attention to him, it was so loud that it rumbled the entire ground as his eyes burned with dark energy. It's a roar filled with hatred.

Upon hearing this, Rex shifted his gaze to Zegrath who is growling angrily.

<Zegrath>

Race: High Werewolf - Candidate of the Dark Prince

Power: Seventh Rank(Peak) - Perfect Devour

Mental: 2361

Strength: 5821

Agility: 4707

Endurance: 6311

Intelligence: 3700

Seeing the name of the Werewolf that just roared at him as if that Werewolf knows him, Rex widen his eyes realizing the Werewolf that he thought smelled and looked familiar. It was the Werewolf he fought in Zrolis City.

'I remember this scent, don't tell me... that Omega Werewolf turned into a Prince?!'

Trying his best to hold his claws that wanted to tear Zegrath and Ruston right now, he decided to scan Ruston and Ian first to gauge their strength. It's better to have a clear picture of their strength.

<Ruston Teinar>

Race: Ancient High Werewolf

Power: Eighth Rank(Early) - True Alpha

Mental: 4676

Strength: 15030

Agility: 12350

Endurance: 13100

Intelligence: 0

Upon seeing the very high stat of Ruston that reaches a ridiculous level, Rex gritted his teeth knowing that it's not possible for him to compete against Ruston alone. It pisses him off but there's Adhara here, with her power he can definitely beat Ruston down.

But when he was about to scan the other Alpha aside from Arnulf, his body moved on its own.

Knowing that the killer of his parents is right in front of his eyes, Rex can't hold the desire to tear him up much longer. With a burst of his Dual Elemental mana, a man of lightning came out of his shadow emitting thunderous black lightning.

It was Devo bearing the full might of the mid-Ultimate rank element.

Rex bared his fangs before he looks up to the night sky and howled powerfully, he uses the Silverstar Howl skill to spike their power and also spark the others to howl alongside him.

Aooouuu!!!

Just like being possessed by a fiend, Rex's eyes glow red even brighter like a demon.

Through telepathy he commanded the others to assign them to each target before with bulging muscles inside his legs, Rex activate his Flash skill and blitzed straight towards Ruston which was surprising for Rex to aim at him.

Burning his claws with the Claw of Tormentor skill, he clawed Ruston's head.

Having the same inhuman reflex as Rex and also greater perception as a higher rank Werewolf, Ruston is able to deflect the attack but feels the force kept increasing as Rex imbued red force into his attack.

Boom!!

Under immense pressure, Ruston got flung away slamming to the ground a couple of times.

Arnulf who saw this wanted to help Ruston but suddenly he sensed an ominous aura coming from his back, he quickly turns around and finds Adhara there already aiming at him with her halo white eyes.

Cloaking his claws with moonlight energy, Arnulf tries to claw her but was caught in surprise.

"Hmmm...?!"

Even with his thousands of years of experience from way back during the Radical Era, Adhara's ability that can shift through physical things catches him off guard as Adhara manages to land a solid scratch on his chest.

Looking down to his chest, Arnulf growls angrily seeing three burning claw marks on his chest.

On the other side of the battlefield, Zegrath wanted to help Ruston in order to take down the Royal Black Prince first that is the leader of this pack of Werewolves that has a devastating line-up of Werewolves.

With a swift movement, Zegrath dashes in all four heading toward Rex.

Rex is entangled with Ruston in a gruesome brawl clawing each other like there's no tomorrow, this makes it a perfect time for Zegrath to dive in and help but then suddenly,

BLITZ!!

Zegrath was forced to leap to the side to avoid a black lightning strike.

There's a figure in the sky that is blitzing with black lightning looking down as if a lightning god looking down on a mere mortal, it was Devo that was tasked by Rex to occupy Zegrath until he was done with Ruston.

Out of all of the Alphas, Zegrath is the weakest despite being the Dark Prince.

Aside from that, Adhara's presence alone puts a heavy toll on his power as his own body is busy healing the wound inflicted by Adhara's presence. It doesn't affect him as much as the others, but it's still a hindrance for him.

"Dark Prince, your opponent will be me. Devoratar Tridan!"

"Get out of the way you damned Spirit, I have no time to deal with you!"

"Hmph!"

Gathering lightning mana from the sky, the entire ground below Zegrath started to turn black as Devo chanted a spell, "Black Field Orko..."

Blitz!

Hundreds of black lightning tentacles sprouted from the ground trying to grasp Zegrath that is dodging and parrying them, his body is moving so fast that it was surprising that every black lightning tentacle got parried or dodged by him.

Although it's impressive, this spell alone puts Zegrath exactly where Devo wanted.

Of the myriad of lightning spells that Rex possesses, this one is the most troublesome to deal with especially since Rex's intelligence stat has raised tremendously. Devo and Rex resonate with each other so he's always as strong as Rex.

"Damn you!!", Zegrath roared while still dealing with the black lightning tentacles.

Meanwhile just outside the Black Field Orko spell, Ian saw the fight breaking out before his gaze went to Evelyn that is standing far without moving a muscle. Since she's the Lune, she can't fight anyone lest the effect she brings gets deactivated.

Giving a nasty grin, Ian immediately dashes at Evelyn at full speed.

The blue energy that his body gives off is bone-chilling cold which travels through the air like icicles, he smacked his lips in delight as he has never seen such a Werewolf that has taken a form of a human.

On top of that, the purple energy is enticing in every way possible.

"Royal Luna, you're mine!!"

Just as he roared that out loud, his senses suddenly picked up a presence that he can't really pinpoint where the presence is hiding. It's like the present is hiding in the void or inside his shadow. Ignoring his senses, Ian kept charging at Luna covering the ground rapidly.

But when he was about to reach Evelyn, an Azure-furred Werewolf jumps out of the shadow below Ian before thrusting a spear intending to stab his head from below.

It's a decisive attack without any hesitation, Ian jumped and tilts his head to dodge the spear.

After dodging the spear almost with a perfect movement, Ian then kicks the Azure Werewolf sending him crashing away near Evelyn before landing on the ground with a heavy thud.

"Werewolf using a spear? Now that's just mockery"

"It won't be a mockery when the tip of this spear impaled your head"

"Our experience is widely vast, your movement is still sluggish. Do you really think you can beat me just using your superior bloodline of an Azure Werewolf?"

Swoosh!!

A dark spirit appeared on Kyran's back as he prepares himself for a fight.

Despite the vast difference between their strength as Ian is an eighth-rank Werewolf while he himself is at most seventh rank, Adhara is just on the other side fighting against Arnulf. Her presence weakened Ian very much from having a weak bloodline.

Seeing the wounds that dyed his black furs with blood alongside his bleeding eyes, Kyran gives Ian a slight smirk which is perceived as a nasty taunt by Ian is feeling his entire body weaken from Adhara's presence.

"Let's find out!!"

ROAR!!

Ian roared angrily bearing the entirety of his aura before lunging at Kyran.

CLANG!

Meanwhile, on Rex's side of the field.

Because of the initial clash both of them are now fighting way further away than the others, their entire body is covered with many open wounds that kept regenerating rapidly.

Rex bites Ruston's arm using his Absolute Predominance Fangs.

"Raarghh!"

Without wasting even a second after getting bit, Ruston activates his red aura that makes the blood inside his entire body boiling hot forcing Rex to pull back before clawing him right on his face. Rex got flung away crashing onto the ground with nasty claw marks on his face.

Unlike the other wounds, this one is healing slowly which indicates that Ruston used a skill there.

"I'm surprised that the Royal Black Prince aimed me first instead of the Dark Prince, should I be honored by this?"

Ruston said straightening his body with a taunting smile.

Although he has seen Rex back then inside the Delarosa Family's territory alongside Arnulf, he didn't do anything that might be able to spark the anger from Rex. So seeing that Rex is aiming at him so brutally, he's quite curious about the reason.

"You should be, I'm going to tear and shred you to pieces with my claws!"

Rex roared back with his eyes filled with bloodthirsty remembering that night when his parents were killed by Ruston so coldly without a care for the little him that is watching from the side.

It has become a nightmare throughout his life, and now is the time to end it once and for all.

"I reckon that I have never done anything to you, so I'm really curious. The way you're acting... why do I get this honor of being aimed by you?"

"YOU KILLED MY PARENTS!!"

Upon hearing this, Ruston was stunned for a second before a grin blooms on his face.

"Parents...? Oh, now that you said that I was confused as to why your scent is a bit familiar. It's vague but I always wondered why you're familiar when I have never met you until recently"

Raising his gaze to meet with Rex's, Ruston remembered that night.

Since it's the only time he has gone berserk in the human settlement, Ruston instantly knows that Rex is the kid that he almost killed back then before being called by King Baralt. It's the only kid that he didn't kill because of King Baralt's howl.

"It's been fifteen to sixteen years, am I right? I remembered you, I can still hear your whimpers from the closet. But weird... I don't remember your parents"

Hearing Ruston talk so casually of his parents, Rex clenched his fists with a grim expression.

Of course, Ruston can see this expression clearly which puts a smile on his face, he then continued, "Hmmm I wonder why is that...? Probably because your parents are a nobody. They can't protect themselves, and are even unable to protect their only son"

Krk!

The sound of Rex grinding his teeth with a grim expression can be heard.

"I'm starting to lose faith in the Lunirich, why do they choose such a low-quality Royal Black Prince that was birthed from... human trash that I can't even remember!"

"YOU!!!!!"
