The Invincible Full-Moon System

Garret felt his body trembling, the sight struck him to the core.

He rushed here instantly when the explosion happened, coming from the Bloodstone Crater, and he aided the legions, with confidence when he saw that it was Rex, he was the one who destroyed the scared ground.

As he had met with the notorious Rex Silverstar before, he was not as nervous as the others.

Not to mention, he knew his pets were able to prove to be a match for Rex.

Despite the famous rumor circling around Rex—he was not deterred at all—as what powerful Werewolf don't have a fearsome reputation. Garret paid no mind to Rex's reputation as it was as it was, a rumor.

It was prone to being over-glorified and didn't match the real Rex Silverstar.

And as he expected, Rex was not as what the rumor said.

He was definitely a false Werewolf, having the ability to shapeshift from Werewolf to Human forms. He also has potential if he could also wield the power of Humans, thus him being one of the possible fated ones to stop the catastrophe, but that was it.

Other than being an anomaly, Rex was not out of the ordinary for Garret.

But now, he realized how wrong he was. Your next chapter is on empire

None of Rex's reputation was overblown, instead, it was watered down heavily.

Upon making a menacing display of him being able to wound the armored mutated wolf with ease, Rex smirked at Garret before he grabbed the poor wolf by its lower maw—and threw it upwards as if it weighed a feather.

Rex blurred before he landed several meters ahead, his hands were now bloodied.

It took a second pause before the armored mutated wolf's body was sliced into four pieces.

Splashing blood everywhere and crashed behind Rex in a meat paste.

Garret's pupils dilated realizing that there was nothing standing between him and Rex as the other Werewolves were stunned. If Rex wanted to, he could blitz the distance between them and kill Garret right now.

Moreover, he could also kill Ragnar as he did that.

But as opposed to doing that, Rex only smirked and glanced over to the other Werewolves.

Upon seeing this, Garret's eyes widened in shock and confusion.

If Ragnar really was Rex's reason for attacking then he should've done so already.

Knowing that he was the reason for this tragedy, Ragnar was detached from the world, and his mind was not in the right place to defend himself, so killing him would be easy. One light attack from Rex and Ragnar would've been dead.

Despite the obvious opportunity, Rex didn't take it.

Only then did Garret's eyes widen, 'He's using Ragnar... He's planning this from the start!'

Meanwhile, the battle continued.

Recovering from their dazes, the legion of Werewolves began charging at him again, now the ones remaining were the stronger ones—most were Alphas in the ninth-rank realm. Not even deterred by Rex's feat, the battle resumed back to square one again with Rex being attacked from all sides.

Slash!

Roar!

Changing.

It was what Rex feared the most when he received the System.

<Notice: the user's sanity stat is decreasing...>

His hatred for Werewolves made him fearful of becoming like them, becoming an animal.

Because of that, he exercised his restraint to keep his human traits.

Sleeping in the night, exercising when he has time, feeling emotions such as sympathy—not relying on devouring raw meat even if it tasted good, and most importantly, being rational. It was rules that he kept in his subconscious mind.

Werewolves also have these kinds of traits but they are still different.

Or at least, that is what Rex wanted to believe.

Rex has been extremely calculative in his moves precisely because of this.

He was trying to be rational in doing his irrational moves.

<Notice: the user's sanity is dropping rapidly!>

Even at this moment, while Rex was slaughtering Werewolf after Werewolf, his mind was still desperately trying to stop himself from going overboard. He could be cruel and evil—but not be animals that follow only their primal urges.

I have a plan. I have to stick to it.

Slash!

I should only kill them and store their blood in a vessel I bought from the Shop.

Crack!

No need for me to devour them right now. I could do it later... later... later.

Slash!

"HAHAHA~!" Rex laughed—his crimson eyes glowed with an otherworldly light as he bit off a Werewolf's neck—and savored the flesh delightfully. "Fuck it! What's different about Humans and Werewolves in this world anyway? We're all ravenous animals for power!"

Seeing the crazy light in Rex's eyes struck primal fear in the incoming Werewolves.

Craziness must be avoided even from a primal point of view.

As Rex tore through yet another Werewolf with his elongated claws—notifications of his kills rapidly drowning his vision, the tide of battle shifted. Hundreds of Werewolves leaped at him—knowing that a few of them at once would only be food for Rex.

In unison, they attacked Rex.

Under the empowerment of the Honey Moon, their collective might overwhelm Rex.

In mere moments, they engulfed him, forming a suffocating, living shell of fur and muscle and trapped Rex at the center. Pinned within this black cocoon of snarling bodies—Rex could feel their claws and fangs raking his flesh, piercing his skin with relentless ferocity.

But just as the darkness seemed to close in, Rex summoned his kingly energy.

Roar!!

With a guttural roar, Rex's power erupted, sending shockwaves rippling through this mass of beasts. The shell of bodies, burst apart violently—flinging the beasts like ragdolls across the battlefield.

Some were planted into the earth like arrows, while others were sent through the air.

Screaming in pain as their bodies crashed miles away.

Riddled with wounds and his breath coming in ragged gasps, Rex raised his gaze just in time to see Prince Alaric, charging again, backed by a new wave of Werewolves. Rex checked the progression of his quest before he refocused ahead again.

<Harvest and devour Werewolf blood older than 3,000 years old: 17.17%>

It should be about time.

Just as he thought of that, his ears caught the crackling sound of lightning.

It grew louder with each heartbeat.

Before he could react, a pair of storm-filled eyes appeared behind him, and a force ten times stronger than any he had felt before—launched him, skyward. Fresh claw marks—marred his back, blood spraying as he grunted in pain.

Upon opening his eyes, his pupils dilated in shock.

A shadow loomed above him and made a devastating vertical hammer fist.

BAM!

"Kuaarghkk!" Rex vomited blood as he was sent hurtling downward with incredible speed.

Just as he was about to crash, Prince Alaric intercepted, "Moon Ability, Devil's Wrath!"

Kaboom!

Prince Alaric clawed Rex, firing arcs of dense kingly energy that seared his flesh and pierced his skin, threatening to tear him apart. Rex, was flung miles across the landscape, blood was pouring from his mouth from the two consecutive surprise blows.

Before he could recover, a powerful hand grabbed him by the face.

He was dragged across the ground with terrifying speed.

Through the gaps in the fingers, Rex saw the figure he had been waiting for had come.

The Storm Prince, Prince Leif, his eyes crackling with lightning and fury.

"I should've killed you when I had the chance you blasphemous creature!" He roared angrily.

Upon hearing this, Rex cracked a ridiculing smirk.

"I've come to give you another of that exact chance, you should be grateful I came here"

"Graarghh!!"

Angered at Rex's rebellious stance even after he came, Prince Leif roared furiously.

His storm kingly energy surged with newfound intensity crackling and roaring like a tempest ready to unleash its wrath. Instantly, the air around them transformed into a seething ball of lightning, as Prince Leif charged forward, his grip on Rex's face tightened.

Following that, the landscape blurred into a streak of chaos.

Rex was dragged mercilessly across the ground, forced to taste the earth for miles.

Making an abrupt, jarring halt, Prince Leif hurled Rex's body a few feet into the air and before he could react, Prince Leif's claws plunged into his chest, piercing flesh and bone to grab the Spirit Core within.

Blitz!

Lightning surged through Prince Leif's claws, electrifying Rex's spirit core violently.

With a savage thrust, Prince Leif launched him forward like a lightning bolt.

Rex tumbled across the ground roughly, but he quickly planted his feet, skidding to a stop as his own kingly energy, erupted around him, a smile on his face. Now the real battle began, I'll invite the others soon enough.

Kaboom!

A fierce aura surged skyward as Rex prepared himself to battle for real.

His wounds were closing rapidly, visible to the eyes.

Before he could fully recover, Rex's third eye sensed a presence behind him, a figure cloaked in the purest form of the Honey Moon's energy. Pivoting swiftly, Rex made a powerful swipe, sending a shockwave of red force toward the approaching figure.

However, to his astonishment, the figure vanished, leaving only empty air.

A searing pain shot through Rex's body—as he was struck from the side—sharp canine teeth sinking into his shoulder. Looking at the perpetrator, his eyes glowed—it was another royal, it was Princess Selene.

Just then, Princess Selene's eyes flashed, blinding Rex for a brief moment.

<Notice: the user is inflicted by Sweet Gaze!>

<Notice: the Imperial Mental Ward skill has canceled the Sweet Gaze effect!>

Instinctively, Rex recovered from his blindness and retaliated fiercely.

Hmm... I wonder, would her flesh taste as grandeur as her bloodline?

Grinning maniacally, Rex elongated his fangs and bite Princess Selene's ear off with delight.

He savored the taste as his eyes sparkled, it tasted even better!

Even then, Princess Selene was stubborn, she didn't moan and bite Rex deeper instead.

Before Rex could force her to let go, he sensed Prince Alaric closing in fast.

Glancing over his shoulder, eyes bulging in alert, he extended his arm and created a barrier of kingly energy mixed, with his red force. But Prince Alaric's demonic wings, propelled him with such force that he shattered the barrier.

His horns slammed into Rex, sending him hurtling forward.

Rex braced himself for a hard landing, but instead, he crashed into something soft.

Vines wrapped around his arms and legs, and it was only then—that he realized he had fallen onto a massive, gleaming yellow flower. The plant's vines coiled around him, injecting foreign substances into his bloodstream.

His heart, which had been pounding with adrenaline, began to slow.

It was as if the flower was forcing him to calm down.

Rex struggled, but the vines held firm, and for the first time in this battle, he felt his energy dampen, his feral excitement being stifled by an unnatural serenity. Looking ahead, he saw such a surprising sight that made him smirk, "Hey, hey, hey... Isn't this bullying?"

"One royal against three is not fair at all, don't you think?" He continued playfully.

From the looks of things, they were back to where the Bloodstone Crater was.

It seemed they changed direction during their vicious clash earlier.

Standing a distance away before him were three figures.

Prince Leif was at the front, his form was dominant and crackled with lighting made entirely of the storm moon kingly energy—grinding his teeth as he wanted to devour Rex whole. On the left was Princess Selene, she has a smaller stature compared to the others.

Some said that she was playful and cheerful, but she was not as vibrant as that now.

Lastly, Prince Alaric was flying above them, flaring his demonic appearance.

A lineup that would terrify even one of the strongest of the ancient era.

"You destroyed our hearts, honor is not present here!" Prince Leif barked, growling in anger.

Raising up her chin, Princess Selene continued, "Your plan is full of holes, Royal Black Prince. A reckless and selfish attempt at best, an act of courting death. Your pack has paid the price for your action, and now your time to pay, has come. Nobody will come to help you, not even your new allies would dare come here"

Prince Alaric then spread his arms as more Werewolves crowded the place.

Each one of them was still full of vigor, recovered thanks to their enhanced healing.

"I told you before... you're not invincible anymore," Prince Alaric said with authority. "You are a lone force before the world's awakening, and now you'll pay dearly for trying to beat us all alone..."

Upon hearing this, Rex's expression darkened as he tilted his head a little.

His eyes gleamed with a crazy light.

Rex couldn't believe how arrogant, these people were, "Have I shown you—my full strength? No, I have not, and now you're already talking down to me? Have I said that I'm fighting all of you alone? No, I have not, and now you already assumed I was alone?"

"Prideful and brainless royals,"

"Make no mistake, I haven't shown you anything, and by dawn of this day... you will be dead!"
