The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 1052  Mercy on Your Soul

Dorlus was pouring everything he had into one final and detrimental strike.

Even though he was blessed by the Yule Moon through the Herald Mark, there was only so much his body could take, there was a limit. As he strained to control an excessive amount, the toll on his body became evident, reaching a severe limit.

His blood vessels expanded to the breaking point.

Blood could be seen drizzling out of every hole in his body as he tried to persevere.

In addition, the agony doesn’t stop there.

Sensing the climb of his aura that was breaking the limiter of the First Breath, the White Eye, or the white sphere in the sky immediately shot a suppressing force at him. Visibly, his skin was melting rapidly due to how intense the suppression was.

Without the presence of the Ice and Snow energy, the effect would be devastating.

Had the princess not awakened yet and Dorlus went into this overload mode, the probability of surviving this ordeal for the others would have plummeted severely. However, due to the princess, that outcome was avoided.

Right now, Dorlus was truly pouring his all, disregarding the damages he was suffering.

One hope remained in his mind.

Dorlus hoped that if he managed to destroy the tiara, the princess would go back to sleep.

It was unlikely, but the possibility is there.

For him, with all hope lost, even a semblance of chance would become his beacon of hope.

“RAARGGHH!!”

Pulling nothing back, Dorlus made a strike with full force.

But his last remaining hope was shattered when a figure landed right between him and the princess, effortlessly blocking his full-force attack. Despite the surging Yule Moon’s energy, the strength pulsating through his muscles, and the momentum of his dash, the figure that landed in front of him adeptly nullified his attack.

He halted the attack perfectly.

Making contact, the Yule Moon’s energy was about to burst into a massive shockwave.

An effect of Dorlus’ strike.

Everyone, including the princess, was preparing for the incoming shockwave.

However, the entire temple rumbles violently almost as if there was an earthquake happening as a devastating amount of moonlight energy floods in like a raging tsunami. It didn’t take long before the moonlight energy created a dense cocoon that trapped Dorlus and the figure inside its embrace.

Swoosh!

Despite the Yule Moon energy’s attempt to explode, it was suppressed and vanquished.

It created nothing but a light gush of warm wind.

Staring at his wrist ensnared in an iron grip, Dorlus shifted his gaze towards the figure, and it was then that a sinking feeling struck his heart. Out of all Silverstar Pack members, he made sure to memorize all of their distinctive features.

Flunra and Adhara were the easiest to recognize.

One is riddled with scars while the other controls violet flames.

Because of his disappearance, Dorlus didn’t recognize Kyran as many thought he was dead.

However, the Werewolf in front of him was the easiest to recognize.

Additionally, aside from being the easiest to recognize, he was also the worst one to meet.

‘Devilish horns… Upright back… Overwhelming aura of suppression…’ Dorlus swallowed hard as there was no mistaking the Werewolf before him, the worst one of them all, the one whom the Lunirich Gods wanted to kill, and the rival of the inhuman Executor.

“R- Royal… Black… Prince…?” He uttered through a constricted throat, his voice trembling.

Standing before him was none other than the Alpha of the Silverstar Pack, Rex Silverstar.

With his hulking body, Dorlus was evidently taller and bigger.

Compared to the Royal Black Prince, Rex, Dorlus was a foot taller than him. But standing right in front of Rex, he was feeling the complete opposite. He felt like Rex was towering over him, and he was nothing more than an insect underneath Rex’s crimson eyes.

It had been a long time since he had felt this helpless.

Not even the Storm Prince was able to induce this level of helplessness.

On the other hand, the Ice and Snow Princess looked at Rex with slightly widened eyes.

She finds it surprising at the amount of moonlight energy he has.

It managed to overpower and swallow her moonlight energy completely.

Although it held true that since she had only been awakened, her power was not anywhere near her normal, the disparity was too much. Even if the princess was restored to full power, her moonlight energy would probably only be the same or slightly higher.

Recovering from her daze, the princess asked, “Are you a new Prince?”

Finding that she had never seen her before, she questioned whether Rex was a new prince.

It was also weird that she couldn’t sense any kingly energy from him.

Every single Prince and Princess would have a King Mark backing them, so naturally. Not the regular King Mark either, their King Marks were even more potent. Naturally, the presence of thick kingly energy is what distinct them from the rest.

But Rex doesn’t have that, he seemed normal except for his level of moonlight energy.

Instead of answering, Rex remained silence, not giving the princess an answer.

Pausing for a second, he swept his eyes around the place and saw the devastation.

He was surprised as he found Flunra lying near the platform, his body marked by unhealed wounds inflicted by slashing claws. Additionally, another layer of shock was added when Rex saw Kyran’s presence, finding that he was already awakened from his slumber.

However, that shock was short-lived as he realized Kyran’s state was even worse.

It was hard to believe that he was alive right now.

Such terrifying resilience was very shocking, but the biggest shock was laid at the very back.

A figure was lying in a pool of blood.

Just a glimpse of the figure sparked a change in Rex’s face.

Not even uttering a single word, his body blurred and reappeared beside the figure.

Rex, at the sight of Adhara’s condition, reverted back into his human form and kneeled beside her. His entire body trembled before he hesitantly extended his shaking hands to gently lift Adhara’s head and check her condition.

It felt very light, he could feel how weak Adhara’s body had become.

With every weakening breath, her life slipped away.

Feeling a familiar aura, Adhara’s eyelids trembled and slowly opened.

As her eyelids were opened, Rex held his breath at the sight of her weak and fragile eyes.

Her once vibrant eyes, now dim with pain, met his gaze, and he felt the agony carve into his heart. A cruel twist of fate stained her body and armor in crimson. Feeling the wet sensation on his hands, Rex looked down and saw the unhealed big hole in Adhara’s abdomen.

Lifting his hand to his face, his heartbeat became faster at the sight of the blood.

Adhara’s blood.

Desperation was etched across his face.

Rex’s eyes mirrored the torment in his soul, viewing the woman he loved slowly succumbing to the merciless hands of mortality. Her blood-soaked fingers reached for his face, a silent plea that made Rex begin to tear up.

His expression became stiff, and his eyes bulged.

Grabbing ahold of Adhara’s hand, tears began to stream down as he cried in silence.

He cried a man’s cry.

With great struggle, he forced out some words, “I can’t lose you too, Adhara”

Upon hearing his vulnerability, Adhara managed a weak smile.

She tried to squeeze Rex’s hand, trying to give him some strength before she uttered, “I’m not going to go anywhere, don’t worry…” She uttered weakly, assuring Rex that her death would not be today, at this temple.

It doesn’t seem like she was telling the truth, but she tried her best nevertheless.

Keeping eye contact, Rex nods his head firmly.

Despite he was skeptical as to whether Adhara was telling the truth or not, her eyes seemed to be asking him to trust her, and he would even though it was very hard. Pausing briefly, she continues with the same feeble tone.

“Rex,” She called, forcing Rex to focus on her. “I’m scared…”

Deg!!

What…?

When he heard the words that came out of Adhara’s mouth, his heart skipped a beat.

I’ve heard that before. No… this is impossible.

Adhara’s words seeped into his ears, echoing inside Rex’s mind and plunging his heart into a deep abyss of dread. At that moment, the air thickened, a suffocating premonition settling over him, spiraling his mind into chaos.

His pulse quickened, and the world seemed to freeze.

A chilling realization dawned upon him as the boundary between dream and reality blurred, enveloping him and paralyzing every fiber of his being. Rex remembered his last out-of-place nightmare, which drastically changed from the normal.

In that nightmare, he distinctively heard Adhara uttering the exact same words.

Due to this realization, Rex was left breathless as the nightmare’s script turned into reality.

Rex couldn’t muster a single word as his expression turned pale, the weight of fear bearing down, encapsulating him in the cruel dance of his subconscious fears materializing before his very eyes.

But he was soon snapped out of his daze when Adhara’s voice resounded lightly again.

“Do what you have to do…” She mused before closing her eyes.

From the onlookers’ perspective, the air around Rex transformed from passivity to seething intensity at Adhara’s last exchange. His dense moonlight energy, coupled with the gleaming lunar light and crackling of black lightning adorned or cascaded down his entire form.

Such a combination of energy bore heavily on the air inside the temple.

Even the princess felt her throat was being choked by the aura that Rex was emanating.

It was obvious that his anger was slowly rising by the second.

Had the System remained at his disposal, he could’ve done something to neutralize Adhara’s condition. But he couldn’t, there was absolutely nothing he could do except repel what was left of the Yule Moon’s energy inside her body, which he already did.

Just as he did that, a column of blood appeared right beside Rex.

As if it had a mind of its own, this column of blood started to take shape into a woman.

Casting a glance at Rex, who was kneeling on the side, the woman, without uttering a word, made a subtle gesture and summoned a purplish energy with a soothing nature. Not wasting a single second, she controlled and infused that purplish energy into Rex’s body.

“Don’t let your anger take over, control it” the woman, Calidora said to him.

Calidora was ready to assist, had the situation called for it, and calm Rex down. She controls a big chunk of the Luna’s energy, so she is capable of soothing his anger, “I know you’re a lunar clone, only a lunar clone. But if you succumb to your anger, it’s still going to be bad”

Upon hearing this, Rex could be seen taking a couple of deep breaths.

But his aura didn’t recede at all, it was still rampaging violently.

“Can you try and heal Adhara?” Rex asked with a cold tone. “I’m going to take care of this”

Knowing that it was more of a command rather than a question, Calidora nodded before she went over to Adhara and tried to heal her using the Luna’s energy. She did this, ignoring the onlookers who were still present.

Rex slowly pivoted around and exposed his bloodshot eyes, staring straight at Dorlus.

Such a sight from Rex was the last thing many saw before their deaths.

From the looks of things, Dorlus wouldn’t be an exception either.

“May the Origin bestow mercy upon your soul, the princess uttered lightly and hovered to the side, distancing herself from Dorlus. “For I doubt he shall give even the slightest glimpse of mercy. Dorlus the Seer, the third guardian of the Storm Prince, even with your renowned foresight, impending death from him is an inevitability you cannot elude”

“Goodbye…” She ended as the princess watched from the sight.

On the other hand, Dorlus felt a crippling fear that rooted his legs in place, unable to move.

‘Had I not wasted my time, this wouldn’t have happened’

‘I can’t muster any strength, my energy is completely depleted…”

‘I can’t see properly, my body is taking the toll…’

‘I’m- I’m…’

At the sight of Rex’s bloodshot crimson eyes, Dorlus subconsciously halted his breath.

‘I’m dead…!’
