The Invincible Full-Moon System

Despite already sensing the flowing red lightning inside Sebrof’s body through the Extreme State skill that is still active, the attack came very fast which caught Rex off guard. It was a sudden burst of movement from the very high level of arcane mana control.

Sebrof proves he’s the peak of power as his level of arcane mana control was insane.

Arcane mana is a higher form of mana that was caused by a deliberate mutation to the elemental mana which is the normal mana, and it’s a purer essence compared to the elemental mana which caused any spell conjured by this arcane mana to be stronger and more efficient.

It requires less arcane mana upon using a particular spell and the result is also stronger.

At first glance, arcane mana looks to bring only benefits to an Awakened. But it also comes at a cost of being harder to control just like different element that is way harder to control compared to other more docile elements.

Lightning, Fire, and Dark elements for example are way harder to control than Wind, and Water.

Now Sebrof not only has the affinity of a lightning element, but he can even control perfectly the arcane lightning mana which shows his very high level of control. As such, he can explode with extreme speed like this and catch Rex off guard.

“Pneuma Spell! Total Lightning Thurst!!”

Stab!!

Way faster than the speed of sound, Sebrof thrust the red lightning saber through Rex’s stomach.

Blood gushed out from the back as the thrusting saber brought along the roaring sound of a tiger, Sebrof managed to land a powerful attack and the both of them started to fall down from the sky. Sebrof was able to save the pilots from an attack that would definitely kill them.

Even though they are well-trained, their reflex was not going to win against Rex’s movement.

While falling down from the sky with the red lightning saber stabbing Rex’s abdomen, Sebrof should rejoice after landing a decisive attack but there was no joy on his face. Many reasons caused him to not feel joy and one of them is due to the fact that the battle wouldn’t be over yet.

If two ninth-rank realm entities fight, the battle would take days to be finished without disruption.

Due to their unlimited energy that can be used all the time which usually puts them both in a stalemate, the battle wouldn’t stop if there was no one helping the other side or a huge gap in strength between the two entities.

Sebrof has experienced this before, and he knows that this will not be enough.

‘Although he’s in the ninth-rank realm, it would’ve been detrimental being stabbed like this if it were any other ninth-rank entity. But he’s a prince that has King Mark…’

Knowing that such an attack wouldn’t heavily injure Rex that has his King Mark activated, Sebrof’s eyes spark with red lightning as he trains his eyes forward. It’s not going to end quickly if he didn’t use his full power against Rex, so he intends to do so.

Boom!

Both of them crash onto multiple buildings before finally hitting the ground.

Clouds of dust covered the entire place blocking the vision of anyone to see, their falling impact was destructive but the place was already devoid of people. At the very least, there will not be many casualties from that.

Sebrof stands back up and darted his eyes left and right in search of the dubious Werewolf.

It just needs a brief second for him to realize the impact they caused on the entire sector, he was occupied in the fight earlier and just finally absorbing the fact that the place around him was utterly destroyed.

Only traces of civilization can be seen through wrecked cars and destroyed buildings.

Now that he processed the surroundings, he can’t help but blame Zero, Giana, Rex, and more importantly, himself. This shouldn’t happen, but the problem caused by others resulted in him failing to do his job.

Protecting humanity.

Taking a couple of short breaths from feeling the burning sensation in his chest, Sebrof looks to the side and finds a pair of purple eyes staring at him appearing from the dust. This made him sigh a sigh mixed with helplessness and frustration.

Rex’s walking figure then came out slowly with the red lightning saber still in his abdomen.

Grabbing the handle of the red lightning saber, he pulls it out without even a trace of pain in his face despite the gushing blood before dropping it to the ground beside him. Even Sebrof can’t help but frown when he sees the wound closed up at a visible rate.

For a brief moment, he was thrown back to the time he forces his arcane mana to invade Rex.

Back then Rex was shriveling on the ground unable to handle the red lightning arcane mana that was forced into him, he even need Vargas to expel some of the arcane mana to recover. But now the arcane mana didn’t seem to hurt him that much, it’s his King Mark in play, being a Lightning Elementalist also helps with that.

Rex wanted to move again but out of nowhere, he looks up and saw a huge meteor falling down.

Immediately after that, notifications from the system appear.

<Engraving the Blood Moon King Mark 61%/100%>

Upon seeing the notification from the system, his eyes sparkled for a bit but that flash in his eyes dimmed down almost instantly. It was due to the next notification that hits his mind powerfully and clouded his mind further into the abyss.

<The user’s sanity stat has dropped below 30%! The user’s ability to think will be reduced in exchange for tripling the user’s mental stat>

<A spell attacking the mind and soul has been cast on the user!>

<Anti-Soul passive skill has been activated! The mind and soul spell has failed to affect the user>

Refocusing his mind on the battlefield, Rex can’t help but grin evilly as he spreads his arms to the side embracing the incoming meteor that threatens to burn the entire place with its raging flames. Only a slimmer hint of sanity can be traced in his eyes.

Rex has dived into madness even more as his vision now has already turned into a shade of red.

Grasping the Amuerus Katana in his hand tighter, Rex jumped straight to the meteor with bulging eyes that has no trace of sanity. With the red force cloaking and activating the eight runes on the Amuerus Katana, he thrust it right into the falling meteor.

BOOM!!

Even though the mighty meteor was filled with arcane fire energy, it shatters completely.

Using the Amuerus Katana’s sharpness he managed to burst through the other side of the meteor, and the fragment of the meteor exploded into the surroundings threatening to destroy more space but a flash of blackness swindling around destroys each of the rubbles.

After destroying the meteor, Rex falls down to the ground again before he looks around.

Emerging at the top of the destroyed buildings all over him were five figures, three of them are Awakened while the other two were Messengers from the SCO. Out of the five figures, Rex recognize two of them, they were Vargas and Lady Lauren.

From the arcane mana filling his insides, it’s clear that Vargas was the one that cast the meteor.

Surrounded from all sides by very powerful eighth-rank realm people fully clad in silver except for Vargas. Knowing they were about to fight a Werewolf, it’s part of the basics to fight a strong Supernatural clad in armor made of silver.

Not only that, but a couple of armies appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the place.

Just looking at their matching uniforms to each of the five figures on top of the destroyed buildings, it’s clear that the five figures brought an army each. Three armies of Awakened and two armies of black hands.

But upon seeing this terrifying lineup, the corner of Rex’s lips quirks up into a smile.

“Stop this at once! More and more of us will be here, and you’ll be surrounded soon enough!”

Sebrof shouted hoping that there was still some consciousness of the actual Rex inside the animalistic eyes that projected immense murderous intent, but he saw no change in Rex’s eyes, completely indifferent and only fixated on killing.

Worst comes to worst, he wanted to keep Rex on humanity’s side no matter what.

Many don’t get the real weight of the situation they were in right now, but Sebrof knows it clearly and was trying to prevent anything bad from happening. Despite already forming backup plans as he should, he still doesn’t want this to fail.

If Rex was not stopped here, there’s a huge chance that he was going to change sides.

Even if he didn’t manage to take revenge on Zero and Giana today or doesn’t even know since he seems to be targeting Sebrof, he will definitely learn the truth sooner and later and would exact revenge on both of them.

Zero can die, Sebrof doesn’t care in the slightest bit. But it was different for Giana.

Now that he knows that Rex is actually a Werewolf, Sebrof already pieces the puzzle together and realizes that the hatred from the Werewolf that killed Rex’s parents back there is still there. It was more than a dozen years ago, but that feeling still prevails until this current moment.

Just that sheer determination alone scares Sebrof, he was persistent and wouldn’t give up.

Due to that, he helped humanity a great deal. But that might change now.

The worst-case scenario would be Rex joining the Supernatural banner, but even the better scenario where Rex would be a third party hating both sides is still very bad. Sebrof can’t have even the tiniest bit of chance of Giana being killed which would do the Supernatural a favor.

But shattering his hopeful thoughts, Rex licks his bloodied Amuerus Katana in response.

Scanning his eyes around, glaring at each of the people that gathered here, Rex then said menacingly without any hint of stopping,  “Bringing these weaklings here is not wise of you Sebrof, but it’s good that more people are going to be here. The more humans I killed, the more prominent I will be as a Supernatural!”

Rex laughs out loud, looking at the people here as if they are dead already.

Although the two messengers and Mistin find the situation very dire, Lady Lauren and Vargas were dazed, still fixed on what Sebrof said earlier. Both of them have their eyes open wide in utter shock.

‘Rex?!’

One name rang inside their mind when they heard Sebrof refers to this menacing Werewolf as Rex.

As one of the prominent figures in humanity, both of them know exactly each of the Supernatural races’ construct starting from their leader and the trusted members. None of the Werewolves they knew had the name, Rex.

If there was a Werewolf as strong as King Baralt, they would know but there was none.

With that little hints alone they realized that the Werewolf is actually Rex, and they were stunned.

Many people would be devastated in learning about this just like both of them did, Rex is the rising star of humanity who triumph over many of his peers and even becomes the head family. It would make the entire Ratmawati City grieve when they find out that Rex is a Werewolf.

Responding to what Rex said, Sebrof nods to himself knowing that he needs to take Rex down now.

Sebrof lowers his stance into a drawing-sword stance before his body slowly circulates all of the red lightning arcane mana which gathers at his skin, a throbbing and ringing sound was produced by the energy which was never been heard of before.

Not even Rex has experienced or seen something like this before.

‘I’ll show you why ninth-rank Awakened is not to be underestimated even by the Supernaturals’

With a darkening expression, the circulating red lighting arcane mana reaches and seeped into the round, turning the ground around Sebrof red and sparking with red lighting,

Sebrof’s expression darkens as the circulating red lightning arcane mana started to reach the ground, turning the ground around him red, “Suit yourself, Rex. But as the leader of humanity, I’m not going to let you keep this up. I’m going to end it with this…”

KABOOM!

The entirety of Sebrof’s body exploded with even stronger energy.

Looking through the Extreme State, Rex can see that the spirit energy and arcane mana merge into one which should be impossible to achieve. But Sebrof did it anyway, turning it into another form of energy that looks delicate but violent.

After doing that, his eyes then flash fiercely, “Red Lightning Dominion, Heavenly Thunderstorm!”

Swooosh!!

Upon chanting that, the redness on the ground around Sebrof started expanding rapidly, turning even the buildings into sparks of red lightning. Many of the people around jump back a little to avoid friendly fire.

Sebrof’s aura was fueled even stronger by the appearance of the dominion that he chanted.

It was the power epiphany of a ninth-rank Awakened, Elemental Dominion.

Elemental Dominion turns the entire place into the essence of the caster’s elemental affinity.

The power of the Awakened that cast an Elemental Dominion will be multiple times stronger,  and their spells would be tremendously stronger as they resonate with the essence of mana itself. Something that even the Kings and Queens of Supernaturals need to be wary of.

“People below the eighth-rank realm stay out, don’t get inside the Elemental Dominion!”

One of the Messengers wearing a black robe said firmly, the SCO learns how an Awakened fights so the Black Messenger knows about this. The others nodded their heads in understanding except for Lady Lauren and Vargas that are still caught off-guard by the fact that Rex is actually a Werewolf.

But breaking their expectation of ending quickly, the ground around Rex suddenly turns black.

Rex’s purple eyes watch calmly as the expanding red lightning dominion is heading towards him quickly, the Banished Dark Moon King Mark glows even more brightly in response sparking more energy into his murderous eyes.

Casting a smirk, he then cast the blessing he received earlier.

“Night of Full-Moon Dome…”

SWOOSH!!
