The Invincible Full-Moon System

Evelyn was annoyed by Rex's comment, she didn't want to ponder about going against him.

It was already bad enough when he lost control, and she didn't want it to happen again.

Nevertheless, her eyes scanned the surroundings with concern.

Her concern came from the violent sandstorm being able to disrupt their senses—and since they were at the heart of the storm, the disruption was at its highest. Rex did tell her earlier, that he could sense Radiel, but she couldn't understand how he did that.

Currently, she's trying to expand her senses, but she couldn't find even a trace of Radiel.

But then, out of nowhere, she saw Rex make an abrupt turn.

A black lightning javelin appeared in his hand, condensed, and flawlessly made, the product of his extreme mastery over his lightning element. Smirking deviously—Rex's eyes glistened as if he could peer through the sandstorm and throw the lightning javelin.

Blitz!

Crack!

It happened very fast, and Evelyn and also Mavenna couldn't react to what was happening.

However, seeing Rex's smile stretching wider, the two turned around curiously.

Only then that they see a hole through the sandstorm leading to Radiel who was struck by a powerful force, propelling him backward. Located at the center of his forehead was the very black lightning javelin Rex threw earlier.

"Woaah! Bullseye!" Mavenna exclaimed in amazement, clapping both of her hands.

Similarly, Evelyn was also surprised at the sight.

She felt pity for Radiel, he was barking to kill Rex earlier but got defeated instantly instead.

But then again—Evelyn knew the full extent of Rex's power, she witnessed it in the fight, with the Fifthborn so this was expected. Realizing what had happened, Evelyn glanced at Rex and asked, "Rex, why did you kill him? What about Catherine?"

"Don't worry," Rex assured nonchalantly. "he's not dead"

Upon hearing this, Evelyn was confused as Radiel's head was impaled viciously.

He most certainly died from that attack.

Mavenna, knowing what Evelyn was thinking, added, "He's an Angel, remember?"

"He wouldn't die that easily" She gazed back to Radiel in the distance.

Not knowing anything much about the Angel race, Evelyn frowned, she saw the arcs of blood squirting out of Radiel's head, so she assumed that he could die the same way—as any other ordinary living being.

Realizing that Evelyn was at a total loss, Mavenna explained, "An Angel has two lives,"

"One is their actual life while the other is a gift from their Origin. Like the Demons, the Angels also couldn't die from a normal fatal wound, as every time they died from a fatal wound, their soul would be saved by the Great Light, and be reincarnated to their designated cherubim, in their Heavens" She continued, helping Evelyn understands.

Unlike Evelyn, Rex already knew about this.

Mavenna explained to Evelyn a process called Light Reincarnation.

He had the System to ask for information, which is why he dared to do this to Radiel.

From the System, he learned that Demons, when they were rebirthed from death had a time period where they lost all memories and were extremely hostile. It was the only drawback of being killed.

On the other hand, Angels also had a drawback from being reincarnated.

As opposed to becoming mad like the Demons, the Angels became weaker instead.

Inside the Angels' heavens, there were numerous types of empty cherubim, where the killed Angels could reincarnate too—and with each death, the cherubim they could reincarnate to, would be a weaker version than the last.

Eventually, they would suffer permanent death from being too weak to be reincarnated.

Because of that, the Angels' wings were created to help them avoid death.

An Angel's wings were a layer to their death so essentially, a normal Angel has three lives so Radiel should be fine, he has his wings so there are two more lives to go until he's sent back to their Heaven.

I haven't asked my questions, killing him would be foolish of me.

Just as she was told, Evelyn saw Radiel's corpse twitch.

Despite having his forehead, still impaled by the black lighting javelin, Radiel slowly reached out his hand, grabbed the javelin risking being electrocuted, and eerily pulled it out from his forehead.

He tossed it aside and sat up with one fluid motion.

Slowly, the wound on his forehead was patched up by a brilliant light until it disappeared.

Both of his winds lose their radiance as he slowly comes to his senses.

Gritting his teeth upon realizing what had happened, he raised his gaze and saw Rex still had his smile plastered on his lips, mockingly. Even though the sandstorm, should've been able to tamper with his senses, Rex found and killed him from afar.

Despite being aware of their difference, this made it starkly obvious.

Looking over his shoulder, Radiel sensed that Catherine was still unfortunately nearby.

Having no other choice but to continue to fight, Radie's entire body burst with excessive holy energy, before he dramatically, slammed both his hands to the ground—lighting up the earth, from within.

Crack!

Swoosh!

Fiercely, the ground cracked, emitting a brilliant light that spread toward Rex and the others.

Responding to this light, the sandstorm intensified.

"Just how did he create this sandstorm though?" Mavenna mused lightly.

Not going to let the radiant light come near, Devo made his move, piercing both of his hands into the earth and charged black lightning to block the incoming light. A spectacular clash of energies happened after that, blinding them all.

Upon regaining back his vision, Rex looked around, sensing something was amiss.

Before long, he frowned when he heard stabbing steps coming from all around them.

Rex could tell that they were the footsteps of mutated animals, or they seemed to be, and the familiarity of the sound made him expect the mutated animals creating these stabbing sounds to be some type of arachnids.

And as expected, emerging from the cover of the sandstorm were mutated scorpions.

Each one of them was bigger than the ones he met in the castle.

Compared to the ones he met before, the mutated scorpions here were, as massive as a fully grown elephant—making Rex, and the others look tiny. "Ah... so that's how he summoned the sandstorm, I should've known," Mavenna commented from the side.

Despite the menacing appearance of these mutated scorpions, Mavenna was not worried.

She was floating in a nonchalant manner as Rex would take care of these creatures easily.

Being forced to fight the mutated scorpions, from earlier—she reeled over the thought of her, becoming a spectator on the side instead of the one fighting, "I'll be cheering on you, Master! Beat these stupid creatures"

Upon hearing this, Rex's expression twitched.

Mavenna was having too much fun calling him master in front of Evelyn.

Focusing back on the situation, Rex swept his gaze and scanned the mutated scorpions.

...

<Green Bone-tailed Scorpion>

Race: Mutated Arachnids - Desert Armored Scorpion

Status: Controlled

Power: Ninth-rank realm (Peak) - Green Shade Venom

Mental: 11,230

Strength: 198,000

Agility: 291,500

Endurance: 373,000

Intelligence: 41,000

Danger Zone: Stinger and claws.

...

So that's what he meant.

Rex looked at the status window of the incoming mutated scorpions and found a particular interest in their status section. Seems like these mutated scorpions are being controlled by Radiel himself, which explains the sandstorm.

It was not Radiel himself who summoned the sandstorm.

He controlled the mutated scorpions and used their abilities to summon the sandstorm.

"So an Angel also has powers to mind control other beings, this is good to know," Rex mused inwardly, taking note of this great finding. He would need to be careful of his surroundings, if Angels could do something like this. "But this is perfect to see my new skill..."

"I don't think Radiel has anything more to offer," He added, his eyes flashing with a red light.

From a glance, there were dozens of mutated scorpions around and counting.

More of them were crawling out of the ground, emerging from their hibernation and all of the mutated scorpions were at the peak of the ninth-rank realm. Such a sight proved how crazily dangerous the places after the Second Breath were, if a bunch of ninth-rank realm creatures could swarm them at any given moment.

But this situation was not a problem for Rex.

Instead, he took this as a chance to use the new skill that he learned recently.

Deciding to end this battle as he had seen enough, Rex planted his feet firmly into the earth, flaring his chest, as he began to half-transform into his Werewolf form. His horns—predatory eyes, and canines emerged, while he garnered every ounce of moonlight energy within him.

"Echo of Night Spirits..."

Swoosh!

A thick layer of silvery energy formed above his skin.

It converged from every corner of his entire body to his mouth.

Simultaneously—he took a deep breath, charging his mouth with the dense—sparkling silver energy, bringing the blessing of the moon to the light. Mavenna watched in confusion as the mutated scorpions approached—but Evelyn, sensing the moonlight energy being pulled, into Rex's mouth, understood he was preparing an attack.

In the next instant, Rex's eyes sparkled as he unleashed a devastating roar.

ROARR!!

Crash!

His powerful roar created a moonlight shockwave that expanded rapidly to the surroundings.

Even though the shockwave merely irritated Evelyn's and Mavenna's ears—it wasn't the case for the scorpions, it was very lethal instead. All parts of their solid exoskeletons cracked, and shattered, their bodies ripped to shreds down to their last flesh.

Moreover, the shockwave was strong enough to disperse the sandstorm entirely.

It vanished in an instant, overpowered by Rex's new skill.

As the sandstorm dispersed completely, Radiel came into view, he was able to shield himself with his wings and cast a protection spell, but he still suffered the same fate, as the mutated scorpions.

His spell shattered upon impact, and his eardrums shattered instantly.

Gritting his teeth—he watched in horror, as the feathers on his wings were being peeled the same as the skin on his arms and legs, exposing bones in some places. Rex's moonlight roar was too strong, leaving nothing but devastation in its wake.

Upon the end of the devastation, Evelyn recovered, "What was that? It's so strong"

"Do you like it? I learned it from an annoying bird," Rex replied.

On the other hand—Mavenna, also clapped her hands excitedly, seeing all of the scorpions were killed, from that attack. But then—her eyes caught sight of Radiel in the distance, still breathing despite being mortally wounded.

"It's strong alright, but not strong enough it seemed," Mavenna commented.

She nudged her chin towards Radiel's direction, informing the others that he was still alive.

Rex's smile turned into a grin, "Not strong enough? It was not done though,"

As soon as Evelyn and Mavenna heard that, their eyes were drawn to the surroundings.

Both of them saw the shattered remnants of the mutated scorpions were now sizzling with a silvery hue and before long, began to emanate moonlight energy. Instead of dissipating—the moonlight energy intensified, bursting upwards and covering the sky with a silver influence.

It summoned a silver fog that looked like clouds above them.

Shiing!

Awe-struck by the sight, they soon noticed a silver star beginning to form within the fog.

It was formed from the concentration of moonlight energy coming from the carcasses.

Not long after, a second one appeared, glowing with intense energy.

Crash!

Just as the last bit of the moonlight energy was absorbed by the silver fog, both of the stars shattered. A growling sound suddenly erupted—from within the silver fog. Both of them then had their pupils dilated when something within the silver fog gazed back at them.

Meanwhile, Radiel gasped for breath.

He was suffering from excruciating pain across his whole body.

Not only that, but he became deaf from the earlier attack, and blood was oozing out of him.

Even though he was channeling his holy energy within him, rotating it fiercely to heal himself, the rate of his recovery, was minuscule. His wounds were too severe to be healed fast. As he slowly recovered and looked through a blurry vision ahead, he choked in surprise.

He saw a surprising sight that made him shiver.

Grr...

"Still alive? I guess you're not as weak as I thought you would be..."
