The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 576 Assassination Attempt

Adhara and Evelyn widened their eyes upon seeing the illusion get hit by a white arrow.

Both of them are screaming inside their heads trying to figure out the perpetrator that fired the white arrow at the illusion, there's no doubt that the one that fired it aimed it at the illusion instead of Syn which is clearly a Supernatural.

Many questions popped into their heads and their brains automatically tries to guess the perpetrator.

'Someone from the 25 Golden Crest Families? No, there's no one except for the Macias Family that knows Rex would go here. Sebrof? That might be the case, with his power finding out that we're here should be easy for him', Evelyn thought sharply trying to assess the situation.

Out of all the possibilities, Sebrof is the main suspect in this sneak attack.

Upon being hit by the white arrow the illusion landed back to the ground on all four, it was grabbing the white arrow from its chest but found that it was very painful to grab from the retaliating holy energy and also the arrow can't be moved at all.

It's like once landed on the target, the arrow will stay there forever.

"Hahhkk!", the illusion wails painfully before spitting blood to the ground.

Moreover, Evelyn and Adhara that are looking at the illusion saw the white energy from the arrow moving inside its skin. It started to spread from the point of contact with the arrow before spreading to the illusion's entire body.

Every vein inside of the illusion's body is glowing with white blinding light.

From the outside it looks very much as gruesome as it gets, the illusion's veins are throbbing evidently as the white energy slowly burns them from the inside which shatters the illusion's ability to move at all.

Adhara gritted her teeth before she transform into her Werewolf form out of anger.

Exposing the appearance of the proxy of the White Omicron, she growled angrily before heading to the direction where the white arrow was fired from. Without a doubt, there was someone that is trying to kill Rex.

Thankfully the said person doesn't know that this Rex is nothing but an illusion.

But nevertheless, the thought of someone trying to kill Rex like this makes Adhara's blood boils in anger. The sudden spike of adrenaline forces her to turn into her Werewolf form before she galloped in the direction to search for the perpetrator.

Evelyn that wanted to stop her was too late, Adhara wasn't hearing her calls.

Clicking her tongue in displeasure Evelyn glanced back at the illusion and finds the white arrow started glowing even more brightly, the blinding light covered the entire place forcing her and Gistella who just got up from being slapped away by Syn to close their eyes.

Sensing that something was about to happen, Evelyn and Gistella went in the other direction.

BOOM!!

Just like both of them has already anticipated, the white arrow exploded with holy energy that is very powerful that the sheer amount of holy energy shoot into the sky and blasted away the dark clouds.

The explosion was so massive that Evelyn and Gistella almost got hit despite already pretty far.

With their current power skipping miles away in a couple of seconds is something they are capable of, but the explosion of holy energy is even faster than them and it almost reaches them that are already trying to get away with all of their might.

"Errghh...", Evelyn grunted feeling the air burns her skin because of that explosion.

As holy energy is an effective element to kill many kinds of Supernatural, it's not a surprise that being near the explosion alone is already enough to make their skins boil as if they were inside a burning stove.

Not stopping there, the white energy suddenly got absorbed back into the white arrow.

Gistella and Evelyn look back without stopping their movement to get away from this place until it has been cooled down, their eyes then dilated finding the white arrow trembles uncontrollably.

With their enhanced vision, seeing the white arrow miles away is not a big deal.

'Just what the hell is that arrow...', Evelyn mutters in absolute shock, there was no doubt in her mind that an eighth-rank realm Supernatural will die from that arrow. But sensing that the effect of the arrow is still not over, it won't surprise her if that arrow can kill a ninth-rank realm Supernatural.

But the thought of that makes her even more troubled by the perpetrator.

Similar to a living object the white arrow starts thumping with holy energy like a beating heart while still stabbing the illusion that is already unmoving, many parts of its body are already destroyed turning back into Lunar Light mana.

Not too long after that, golden writing appeared on the arrow as if there was someone writing it.

Evelyn tries to decipher the writing but her eyes can't focus on how fast she was trying to run away from the place, and out of a sudden, completely unexpected, another explosion occurred but this time it doesn't reach the sky.

Kaboom!

Instead of stabbing the sky, the explosion creates a white holy circle that expanded rapidly.

The illusion's body instantly shatters from this explosion.

With her very fast reflex as a Werewolf, Evelyn grabs ahold of a tree with Gistella does the same. Both of them then jumped to each other before using each other's feet to propel them even further into the sky just to dodge the white ring of holy energy.

Swoosh!!

Just like a tsunami, the white ring destroyed everything in its path.

Since they both are high up in the sky, the both of them watch as the white ring went past below them before keeping on moving further. It went on for a couple more miles before finally vanishing into nothingness.

After the effect of the white arrow ended, both of them landed on the ground.

Forcing their surprised eyes back to the place where the illusion got hit by the white arrow, both of them look at each other in total disbelief. Not one word came out of their mouth from how speechless they are.

Without a doubt, that white arrow is at the very least an artifact of somekind.

Even the both of them don't know much about artifacts but they know that an artifact is very powerful, for the illusion to be sneak attacked by the perpetrator using an artifact of this caliber shows that the perpetrator should be a very powerful figure.

"Where's Adhara?", Gistella asks in concern.

Upon hearing this Evelyn frowns remembering where Adhara went, "We need to help her!"

Since Adhara was furious upon the realization that someone is trying to actually kill Rex despite everything that he has done, her anger forced her to transform into her Werewolf form and pursuit the perpetrator.

Knowing that the perpetrator should be very powerful, Adhara might just be in danger.

If for whatever reason the perpetrator intends to kill Rex, there was no doubt that the perpetrator knows Rex is a Werewolf since the white arrow is designed to kill Supernaturals. Not only that, the effect of this white arrow is this devastating.

With that alone shows that the perpetrator also knows that Rex is in the ninth-rank realm.

'Sebrof... it must've been him. Lady Giana wouldn't do this, Rex already convinced her of the side he's in so there's no reason for her to have any sort of intention to kill Rex', Evelyn thought to herself.

But just when the both of them were about to help Adhara, their ears perked up.

"Origin is on my side, I'm going to kill both of you!!"

Upon hearing the endearing familiar voice, Evelyn and Gistella look back before they cursed inside their heads when they find Syn able to dodge the white arrow effect and is still alive right now. Maniacal laughs escape his mouth while murderously looking at the two.

Since they weren't able to ignore Syn, the three of them were locked into a battle once again.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the place.

Adhara is galloping on all four exposing her blazing fast movement as the Proxy of the White Omicron, her entire body is now covered in white furs. Her glowing white eyes and white claws made her appearance looks like a ghost in the middle of the night.

Not just the sharp ones, but even the dull ones can see her coming from far away.

Her completely white appearance is very eye-catching in the midst of the dark place that she was in right now, but she didn't care as the only thing on her mind right now is to find the perpetrator that dares to sneak attack Rex like that.

Growl!

With a growl, she increases her speed even more.

In front of her lies a slope since the place is in an absolute mess from the fight between them and Syn before, she then sniffed the air and finds a particular burning scent that should come from just over that slope at her front.

Werewolves' senses are their most terrifying traits of them, and it's not without a reason.

Just like a pack of wolves that can remember the scent that killed one of them and will not fade for years to come, Werewolves are also like that and even more terrifying since their smelling sense is thousands of times stronger.

In her Werewolf form, Adhara can find any scent for miles and miles away.

Not only that but she also is able to filter out the scent of mutated animals, she has become a tracking machine that is very efficient in tracing anyone that was once in the surrounding place.

Adhara stopped and glance at a couple of destroyed trees on her side.

From the looks of how some of the trees collapsed to the left and some to the right, she can instantly deduce that the one that fired the white arrow should be coming from here. It's at least a dozen miles away from the place where she and the others battled with Syn.

Walking towards the middle of the collapsed trees, Adhara ducks down to a particular spot.

'One... Wait, no... there are two'

Sniffing the place around Adhara finds that there are two scents.

At first, she only smelled one very faint scent and it should belong to a man. But she then can smell another fainter scent coming from a speck of particular dirt, it belongs to another person but fainter than the previous one thus she comes to the conclusion that there were two people here.

Not only that but she can also feel the ripple of mana in this place.

Even though there was a ripple of mana in the place, Adhara can't find out the mana that created the ripple which shows that the two perpetrators are very much prepared to launch this sneak attack on Rex.

It was not a subtle try, but a very calculated one using a particular artifact that can't be sensed.

Despite there being no trace of the two perpetrators that are hiding their scent to the best of their abilities, Adhara doesn't want to give up yet and he immediately scouts the entire place to find anything at all.

'One of them must be here somewhere...', Adhara thought with a frown.

Since these two people are trying to kill Rex Silverstar, one of the prominent figures in humanity then they should have a fixed plan for the aftermath. But in order to execute that plan, they need to confirm that Rex is indeed dead.

Although it's not fixed, Adhara assumes that a ninth-rank realm entity's corpse is indestructible.

With that assumption, there must be one of the perpetrators that stayed behind to check if Rex is really dead after the white arrow effect. Adhara is relying on that assumption in the hope to find someone around this place.

Having no leads would be disastrous, and she can't afford to let this person escape.

Following the trails back toward where the illusion got hit by the white arrow, Adhara's eyes glisten murderously finding a shadowy figure sneaking silently. It made her entire body trembles before she immediately jumped toward that figure.

Meanwhile, Rex is sitting down while enjoying the rain that is still pouring down on him.

After killing the source of his nightmares throughout many years of his life, he needs to take some moments to collect himself from what he just did. It's the perfect time to talk to himself and his parents watching over him from above.

The system also already gave him the notification of him finishing the Super Berserk Quest.

It was right at the last moment of his last strand of soul, he almost died but he doesn't care at all as his mind is solely resting on the fact that he was going to kill Ruston and ended his nightmare. That is something big for him after all.

Now he was sitting on the wet ground with his back against a wall, looking up to the sky.

Remembering what Edward used to say back in the military, he can't help but chuckle, 'I always said that smoking and drinking are bad for the body, but maybe doing that right now would be fantastic...'

Just as he thought of that, Rex's eyes jolted open before his expression turns into a frown.

'Hmm...? The illusion is destroyed? How did that happen?'

Finding that the illusion of helping the others is destroyed by the link between them breaking that shows that the illusion is dead, Rex looks at the far distance with a frown. It takes a moment before slowly information enters his brain.

Upon the destruction of the illusion, its memory will then be transferred back to Rex.

Slowly gathering the experience the illusion went through, Rex's eyes turn darker and darker realizing that someone wanted to kill him. Soon his eyes turn murderous as a person appeared inside his mind.

"SEBROF!!"
