The Invincible Full-Moon System-Chapter 1247: Desert Incident (2)

Observing from the top-most floor of the castle were Evelyn and the others.

All of them kept their eyes on the fight but it ended as expected.

Unlike Evelyn and Mavenna who were already used to Rex winning—especially ever since his triumph over the Fifthborn, both Catherine, and Radiel couldn't turn their eyes away from the fight, "Inc- Incredible... he used moonlight energy, red force, and the dominating mana of the Human race simultaneously"

Radiel couldn't hide his amazement at the spectacular showcase of strength.

Nobody in the ancient world could mimic what Rex was doing.

It was a whole new level of energy control.

In the previous era, the ones who could control two different energies at once were blatantly considered to have way above energy control—and were also deemed a powerhouse. It was not a simple feat to use more than one energy at the same time.

Depending on the energies, creating harmony might be exceptionally hard.

Losing control of the friction would definitely cause a painful backlash to the caster.

Controlling two different energies was already a considerable feat, much less three.

One of the most common harmony was between force energy—and another energy, such as their race's natural energy. It was common because there were not a lot of energies that had the same nature as force energy, coming from the body.

Rex was able to do that, but he was also able to control moonlight energy at the same time.

Not the normal one either.

It was the raw power of his King Mark, which was way harder to control.

Knowing all of that, Radiel's reaction was completely natural.

Similarly, Catherine covered her mouth in shock, "He took them all out so easily..."

Just like Radiel, she could see the amount of wickedness oozing out of the creatures' bodies but none of their wickedness stood a chance, their darkness was swallowed entirely, leaving them completely helpless against him.

"He's as wicked as the Supreme One, or maybe even more..." She uttered whisperingly.

Recovering from shock, Radiel turned towards Evelyn, "More importantly, what are they?"

"I've never seen anything close to such monsters," He added questioningly.

Upon hearing this, Evelyn glanced at him before gazing ahead again. It seemed these wicked monsters were unique to the new era—even the others from the ancient era didn't recognize them, "It is the monsters from the Realm of Chaos—like the ones the Executors, were able to summon"

"No, that can't be. I can feel it, they're different, I'm sure of it" Radiel replied.

Seeing that Rex was moving once again, Mavenna intervened, "Should we follow him?"

"Yes," Evelyn replied, nodding her head but her eyes glanced back to Radiel. "But first, I need to ask you a question. Our situation, has been cleared up, so I hope you're not going to spout lies. Mavenna, leave us..."

Grabbing Catherine by the arms, Mavenna pulled her away to give Evelyn some room.

Of course, Catherine struggled, but it was futile.

As soon as the two left the scene, Evelyn began to walk slowly toward Radiel.

Radiel crawled back instinctively, when he saw this, he was not in good condition, from the earlier fight against Rex—so there was nothing he could do if Evelyn tried to do anything to him at this moment.

However, soon, his crawl was halted when his back met the wall.

In a heart-wrenching moment, Evelyn's steps echoed as she walked closer and closer.

"I am the Empress of the Clarentium Empire—and this land is under my reign," She declared, her tone changed drastically compared to before, now threatening. "As such you are obliged to speak only the truth to my question... and my question is this,"

Making one last step, Evelyn stood in front of Radiel, her aura towering behind her.

"Tell me, what does Void want with this continent?" She finally asked.

Upon hearing this, Radiel gritted his teeth as he seemed to be reluctant to say anything.

Squinting her eyes, Evelyn's expression darkens, "I saved Catherine from the Emperor but do not mistake me for a softie. One word from me and Mavenna would kill Catherine. Earlier was a fluke, Mavenna is a real slave that abides by what I say"

"Even if you kill her, she will not die a permanent death" Radiel retorted, maintaining strong.

But this made the corner of Evelyn's lips curled upward.

Swish...

Her eyes glowed with a fierce light, contrasting with her graceful and elegant demeanor.

"She will not die permanently, but I think you don't want her to die at all," Evelyn said, placing her fingers on her cheek playfully. "Both of you are from the rebellion forces, and I'm sure the moment both of you die and get sent back is the moment you'll be imprisoned,"

"So tell me, what does Void want...?" She added, dominating the moment overwhelmingly.

Meanwhile, miles away from the castle.

A settlement of Orcs could be seen.

It was a settlement filled with huts made of woven reeds and animal hides, providing shelter from the scorching sun. A beautiful, and vital spring located on the edge—and at the center, the towering totem, carved from ancient stone—and adorned with ancestral symbols, stood like a talisman of protection.

But now, the huts were destroyed and scorching with purple flames, the vital spring that was the lifeline of the village, was vaporized, leaving behind a smoldering crater, and the totem, a heirloom from their ancestors lay shattered on the ground.

Burly green-skinned villages ran in panic, their cries echoing in the desolation.

Just an hour ago, their lives were going on as normal, and now, they were under attack.

"Stand your ground, to the last breath!!"

A fearsome warrior, equipped with armor and spikes roared determinedly.

He was holding two massive battle axes, leading the fierce and unyielding male Orcs to form a desperate defense line—their numbers dwindling against the onslaught. Behind them were the females, clutching their children, scrambling towards safety.

Roar!!

Coming straight at them was a monster, a Chaos Spawn.

It was a grotesque sphere bristling with sharp tentacles and a cavernous maw.

Hundreds of them had already fallen to the attacker's rampage, and none of them caused more than a scratch, on the Chaos Spawn—but their spirit was still high, all determined to keep it at bay while their loved ones fled and survive this bad and unexpected ordeal.

Showing a great example, the leading Orc stood at the very front.

Judging from the red cloth draping over his shoulder, he was the chieftain of the tribe.

From his shaking hands, it was obvious that the pressure from the Chaos Spawn was a lot.

His own instincts were telling him to run away, but he stayed behind.

A clear example of a being that is the embodiment of bravery.

Roar!!

Unleashing a powerful battle cry, the chieftain used his war spell to make his body swell.

Making the first attack, he sprinted ahead, and leaped straight to the Chaos Spawn, both of his battle axes were pulled to the very back—poised to deliver his strongest blow. But as he neared, he could feel that death was already stalking him.

In contrast to his meager power, the Chaos Spawn was much stronger.

Despite his doubts, the weight of the entire tribe bore down on the Chieftain's shoulders.

Even if he couldn't defeat the Chaos Spawn, his heroic sacrifice might inspire his warriors to fight until the bitter end—until all the villagers were evacuated. Resolute—he bared his burly fangs, eyes bulging as he swung his battle axes with every ounce of energy he possessed.

Under his war spell, the blades of his weapons trembled with intensity.

On the other hand, the Chaos Spawn, instead of dodging, let the axes connect instead.

Splash!

As expected, the Chieftain gritted his teeth as his axes barely cut into its flesh, and it was clear, that this would be his end. But then, before he could surrender himself to death, his eyes widened as his battle axes shook even more violently suddenly.

Ngingg!

He was surprised to see cracks forming visibly forming across his weapons.

An enormous power was infiltrating his weapons, but it wasn't his own.

Despite not knowing how—the Chieftain pushed his axes further, and under the surprised gazes of his people, the axes pierced and sliced the Chaos Spawn into multiple pierces. It screeched as it fell to the ground, dead.

Landing on the ground firmly, the Chieftain stood in disbelief.

For a second, his people were silent, shocked by the turn of events.

However, in the next second—they erupted with cheers and battle cries as they sprinted and lifted their weapons frantically, passing the Chieftain as they fought with the incoming Chaos Spawns with newfound vigor.

Just as he was left alone behind, his gaze shifted to the side, and saw a figure emerging.

Instinctively, the Chieftain knew that it was this figure that helped him.

"Who... Who are you?" He asked.

Upon hearing this, Rex smiled, "Someone who's passing by,"

Earlier, he headed to the source of the mayhem, and found as he expected, a tribe of Desert Orcs running rampant, as loud explosions, decorated their entire village. Corpses littered the ground, purple skeletons, death by the power of pure chaos energy.

Naturally, he quickly aimed to defeat the stronger Chaos Spawns as quickly as possible.

But aside from that, he was also searching for the corrupted ones.

Oddly enough, he hadn't found a single corrupted Orc.

Since the incident in his city started—because of a corrupted person who came into contact with pure chaos energy from somewhere, he thought that this one would be the same, but it was different.

He needs to learn more to know what was happening.

In order to do that, he needs to save the tribe first, and he spots the Chieftain.

Really useful, this Moon Corruption skill, there doesn't seem to be any drawback either.

Focusing back on the Chieftain, Rex suggested, "Do you need help?"

"Yes, help us," the Chieftain answered without hesitation after a glance at the weak—still in the area and might get ambushed by other Chaos Spawns as their numbers were unknown. "Speak, what is the price of employing you?"

Upon hearing this, Rex smiled, this Chieftain has little to no Orcish accent.

"My price is information," Rex replied before he vanished, deciding to help the tribe fully.

...

Later that night.

Inside the training chamber within the Silverstar Pack castler—four sections were separated by holographic barriers enhanced with moonlight energy. Adhara, Flunra, Kyran, and Gistella were preparing rigorously for the incoming pack duel.

Due to the chamber's environmental features, they were all training there.

A perfect place for cultivation could be made with a click of a button.

Each one of them was deeply immersed in their training and couldn't be disturbed.

Suddenly, the section on the left that was devoured by violet flames and swirled by a snake creature imploded with energy. Adhara, sitting in a meditative position opened her eyes, the flames around her dissipated instantly.

Learning through the sacred book of the Fire Elementals boost her strength ridiculously.

She was becoming stronger rapidly.

But even then, she decided to pause her training for a bit.

Glancing at the window, on the side—facing the night's moon that was yellowish in color, she nodded her head firmly, "It's time..." She stood up, left her section, and glanced to the others' sections.

All of them were still focused on their training under the night's embrace.

Since the moonlight energy was at its zenith, they were making sure to use it effectively.

Just then, however, Kyran came out of his section.

Looking at Adhara, he made a simple nod to her before he went back inside.

Donning a violet royal cloak that covered her entire body, Adhara made her exit silently.

Adhara slipped out of the training chamber and the castle undetected by anyone around, the Aldri Family—and the guards alike. Her sneaky demeanor indicated that she did not want her absence be known by anyone.

Not even wasting a single second, she headed straight to the city's main entrance.

It was already night, but the streets were still bustling.

Because of that, Adhara decided to sneak her way through jumping from roof to roof.

Eventually, she managed to land above the watch tower above the city's wall.

Kneeling there under the full moon—she embraced the night's air—and took a deep breath to calm her spiking nerves. Despite everything that had happened, she was nervous at this very moment, probably due to the fact that she was moving alone after a long time.

Only after she felt ready did her eyes focus ahead, "I don't sense anything,"

"But since Kyran said yes, then it must be true," She added.

As she firmed her heart, her body burned with violet flames as she vanished from her spot.
