The Invincible Full-Moon System

"Gerrard you can leave, but Rex... I still got something to say to you"

Rex stop in his tracks when he heard what Sebrof said, he glance to his side and find Sebrof is looking at him intently.

'What now?', he thought as he sucked in a cold breath.

Gerrard also looks to the side but he then nodded his head instantly when he saw Sebrof's serious expression, even he felt his skin crawls upon seeing Sebrof's sharp gaze.

Without looking back, Gerrard leaves the place hurriedly.

Rex turns his body towards Sebrof again trying to keep his expression calm,

There's an invisible pressure coming out of Sebrof that takes a toll on Rex, it makes the room suffocating as a minute that feels like forever passed in silence.

After inspecting Rex up and down, Sebrof finally moved.

Sebrof taps on the table surface near him before a hologram suddenly appeared above the table, it was sudden as Rex looks at the hologram.

The hologram Sebrof shows are the news headlines,

"What do you think if I decided to band UWO together with the SCO?", he asks calmly.

There is no expression on Sebrof's face, Rex can't figure out what he's thinking as he replied, "I've seen the interview with John Webster, asking him would be more relevant than a student like myself"

Hearing this, Sebrof paused for a moment before he stands up from his seat.

Sebrof walks slowly with a straight dominant posture walking past Vargas before he stops in front of Rex, he then sits on the edge of the table before he said, "I'm asking your opinion"

"Since the people wanted to feel safe, creating an alliance with the SCO will give that assurance and also just like what John Webster just proved the SCO will be much of a help against the Supernatural", Rex added without a pause.

The thoughts inside his head, Rex just said it out loud.

Although many benefits for humanity will be made if the SCO and UWO ally with each other, Rex can't just shrug the fact that for organizational gains the SCO will gain is much more than the UWO.

Yes, the UWO will have the Green Messenger's invention but it doesn't compare much.

If the alliance really did happen, SCO will be brought into a new light since they will be stepping into the world as an ally of the very first organization that becomes the pillar of humanity.

Not only the people will start to accept them, but the SCO will be an equal of UWO.

Since the people wanted the UWO to work together with the SCO, Sebrof doesn't have any choice but to declare the alliance to the public if he were to decide to make the alliance happen.

Public opinion matters the most, the UWO has a reputation to consider for the public.

Hearing what Rex said, Sebrof nodded his head before suddenly,

GRAB!

Rex was caught off guard when his neck suddenly got grabbed by Sebrof, "KKhrhk!", he's gripping Sebrof's hand trying to loosen it up.

His neck was about to get crushed as blood started to leak out from his mouth,

'Is he trying to kill me?!', Rex screamed inside his head.

Sebrof's eyes are glowing red as he stares directly at Rex, "Your answer is completely biased. How did you make contact with the SCO? Are you one of them?"

"I'm--not!", Rex struggled to reply with his neck choked hard.

But Sebrof scoffed upon hearing this, 

Rex glance at Vargas on the side and saw him giving Rex a meaningful look, Rex then glances back at Sebrof who is eyeing him with sharp eyes.

Then Sebrof's eyes glint as he said, "You don't mind then if I check for the crow tattoo right?"

Hearing this, Rex widens his eyes in surprise.

He doesn't know how Sebrof knows the alliance proposal came from him but Vargas probably told him, and now since he become suspicious he wanted to see if Rex is really a neutral party.

'Shit! This is bad, I need to buy time!', Rex thought while thinking hard for a solution.

Without wasting any more time, Sebrof's eyes glow with red lightning but Rex also responds by activating his black lightning.

BLITZ!

Both elements collided, but Rex can't even buy more than a second.

The red lightning that Sebrof possesses obliterate his black lightning easily, it's definitely a higher form of lightning since Sebrof is a ninth rank Awakened.

Sebrof's eyes glow before Rex's entire attire burst into pieces,

He was getting choked on by Sebrof with only his boxer exposing his entire skin, then Sebrof's eyes scan Rex's entire body before he scoffs.

BRAK!

Aside from the rune he has from reaching the fifth rank, Sebrof didn't see any tattoo other than that.

Rex got tossed aside hitting the wall behind him after Sebrof is done checking his skin, his entire body was paralyzed thanks to getting zapped by Sebrof's entire body.

<Infalible Cardinal Lightning has manifested inside the user's body!>

<All of the user's muscle has been paralyzed completely, it'll take 2 months to dispel the Infallible Cardinal Lightning from the user's body!>

Looking at this, Vargas approaches him before he channels some mana to Rex's body.

<Arcane Fire Mana is requesting to enter the user's body, Do the user allow it?>

'Yes', Rex replied upon seeing that there's no hostility, Vargas just wanted to help him dispel the red lightning from Sebrof which paralyzed his entire body.

If not for Vargas, Rex will be paralyzed for two months!

That just shows how devastating the difference between their powers is, Rex didn't stand a chance against Sebrof at all. 

Rex's body started to get warm as Vargas channeled his mana,

It didn't take long before the last remnant of Sebrof's lightning got dispelled from Rex's body, he slowly regains his motoric movements as he stands up slowly.

"Wear this, you can go to the briefing now", Vargas said softly.

He gave Rex new clothes to wear before signaling for Rex to leave,

Sebrof is already sitting back at his chair with a stoic look on his face, there's no emotion as he looks at Rex standing back up with a trembling body with cold eyes.

But before he leaves, Vargas then said, "Also contact the SCO and tell them to be present"

"They need to also send their teams under each of the messengers to Eqosa City, this is the first step in making the alliance come true. Don't forget to also tell them to contact us as soon as possible", Vargas added.

Hearing this, Rex looks at Vargas with a shocked expression, "Doesn't that mean?!"

"Yes, President Sebrof will agree to the temporary alliance but the head of the SCO has to meet with him to discuss the agreement in the contract", Vargas said before Rex can even finish.

This news makes Rex's body tremble in excitement,

Although it was not that easy to make this happen, thankfully it has reached this point.

It will not come true if not for the help of the Green Messenger though, making the statements that can drive the public like this to pressure Sebrof is no easy feat.

If the Green Messenger hadn't helped, Rex is not sure if he can finish the job.

But Rex didn't know that the one who made the statements loud and clear was not just the Green Messenger, the King himself helped the Green Messenger to finish the job.

Rex gives one last look at Sebrof before he bowed and left the room,

A moment later,

After getting interrogated by Sebrof, Rex left the room feeling relieved.

'Thankfully, Adhara just gave me some money so I can convert them to gold', Rex thought with a sigh, if she hadn't done that then he might just be caught by Sebrof for being a member of SCO.

Since the crow tattoo is right on his chest, it will certainly be spotted.

<Skin Concealment - Level 1>

A stamp that can temporarily hide any writings or tattoo on the target's skin, this item is mainly used by assassins from the Human and Supernatural to hide their organization tattoo in certain situations. Level 1 Skin Concealment will only last for ten minutes.

The system recommends Rex an item in the nick of time,

It only costs 100 gold and thanks to the extra one second from the collision of their lighting elements, the system manage to apply Skin Concealment before his clothes got ripped to shreds.

He's currently walking towards the briefing place,

Linda is already waiting for him in front of the room to guide him to the briefing place.

While following Linda,

Rex touched his neck before he thought, 'Arcane Fire Mana, What is that?'

<Information will cost 5,000 Gold, Do the user want to purchase this information?>

'If Vargas has this Arcane Fire Mana, then it might as well be useful for future progression', Rex thought before he purchase the information.

<Arcane Mana>

This is the next evolution of general mana, any Awakened that manages to evolve their mana into Arcane Mana will have a tremendous effect on their elemental attack crushing their peers easily. Aside from a necessary component to reach the ninth rank, Arcane Mana is the symbol of a higher power of an Awakened. Complete unification with the Awakened spirit is a must to even hope to reach Arcane Mana.

To put into perspective, a sixth rank Awakened with Arcane Mana will crush Awakened in the same realm and even rival the firepower of the peak seventh rank Awakened.

Reading this, Rex was put into thoughts as this is the first time he heard of Arcane Mana.

'No wonder the ninth rank was ridiculously powerful, turns out they control a higher form of mana called Arcane Mana', Rex thought in realization.

The system even explains that reaching Arcane Mana is a must just to reach the ninth rank.

At some point in the future, Rex needs to reach this Arcane Mana as well, 'Does the information I bought also contain how to evolve my mana into Arcane Mana?'

<Yes, the information the user's bought contains all information of Arcane Mana>

Rex nodded his head and when he snapped out of his thought, he unconsciously already arrived at the briefing place which is a big auditorium with a stage in front.

Upon entering the room, Rex saw that there was a man in front with Gerrard by his side.

Noticing that Rex just arrived at the room, the man beside Gerrard suddenly called out to him, "Rex Silverstar, please come up here", he said with his voice amplified by a mic.

Hearing this, Rex nodded his head before he go up the stage.

While he's walking past the head of the 25 Families and the descendants, Rex notices that Adhara is also here since Duncan is still here.

Other familiar faces can also be seen,

But what makes him frown was the unfriendly gaze he got from the head of the family, based on their expression Rex already knows why they gave such gazes.

'It seems they don't like me being a leader with Gerrard', Rex thought wryly.

After Rex reaches the stage and stands by Gerrard, the man that supposed to be a UWO official just from looking at his uniform continues the briefing.

Just like Sebrof and Vargas said before, the briefing explains in detail their objective.

Since the Vampire and the higher-ranked Undead have been pulled back, the enemy's army that is sieging Eqosa City has reduced greatly.

But even so, the UWO official shows them the intel they got.

Although many of the enemy's forces have retreated, there are still five companies of the undead with each company having at least 500 Undead commanding about 800 other lower rank Supernaturals.

It was still a whopping 6500 Supernaturals to clean up,

Most of them are only fourth rank Supernatural, but the undead is not to be underestimated.

"As you may know, the Undead has a nasty advantage of the terrain. So I suggest to not underestimate even the third or fourth rank Undead, this concern all of your lives after all"

All of them are knowledgeable about the Supernatural,

The descendants certainly know that the undead is fueled by death energy, and Eqosa City and its surrounding has many corpses from the battles from the siege.

It will put the undead in a clear advantage because of this,

The battlefield has turned into an abundant supply of death energy, the undead will become stronger the more humans fall on the battlefield.

Aside from that,

The UWO official also stressed the importance to finish this mission quickly, he said that the mission will be held tomorrow or the day after tomorrow because based on the scout they have on the Werewolf territory.

10,000 Supernatural army has moved commanded by about roughly 400 Werewolves.

Amongst the Werewolves, there are estimated to be 3 Alphas with the power of the eighth rank and roughly a quarter of this army will be sent to reinforce the undead in Eqosa City.

It will be disastrous if they manage to unite,

Only by taking out the undead army first can the reinforcement be forced to retreat, and by then Eqosa City will survive the long drawn out ordeal.

There are only a handful of descendants, 

Five dozens of the descendants from the 25 Golden Crest families,

This might sound impossible and cruel but the descendants already know the extra information they got from their parents so they didn't complain about the hazardous mission.

After explaining that, the UWO official then turns to Rex and Gerrard.

"These two youngsters here are picked as a leader not only based on their power but also the fact that they have experienced as a Scavenger. They have been selected by President Sebrof himself, so the UWO expects you to cooperate and follow their leads!"

"You're the descendants of the great 25 Golden Crest Families, the pillars of humanity"

"Know that we have high expectations for you all. Do try to not die on the battlefield because for each fallen descendant, voluntary from the guild of the family of the fallen ones will be doubled for a year and some of their privilege as the 25 Families will be revoked"

"Meaning, your descendants mustn't die if you don't want other families to step over yours...."
