The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 40: Tree Giant

Inside the Ochyra University Task Hall,

The staff is attending to the studentʼs needs when suddenly a group of guys wearing black attire covered with a white cape enters the hall,

The guard approaches them but the guy in front shows a badge which makes the security let them in instantly,

The badge has a small FAA sign on top of it and a number 6 below it,

The group then walks to the nearest receptionist, the guy in front that looks like the leader then said, ” I am Argus from the FAA, I want to take down the mission in Vouver City”, he said plainly.

Hearing the name, the students were in turmoil,

”Argus? I swear I heard that name before”

”You donʼt remember? He is the adopted son of the president of FAA”

”Rumor said that he is a middle rank-six Ice Elementalist, the shocking part is that he is only 30 years old!”

”What?! Thatʼs godlike!”

The staff smiles politely and replied, ”Iʼm sorry Sir Argus, but may I know why?”

Argus looks at the staff sharply making the staff sweats but then he replied, ”There is a wrong assessment from the FAA, we just had information that the Anansi is the one behind the mission”

Hearing this, the staff jumped in shock, ”ANANSI?! Do you mean the Anansi Supernatural that kills the famous Jerga? a peak rank-six lava Elementalist?!”

Argus sigh and replied, ”Itʼs not that particular Anansi, itʼs a teen nearing adult Anansi but yes if itʼs an Anansi then the mission should be handled by a rank-five Awakened at least”

The staff has a troubled expression on his face,

Argus noticed that and canʼt help but ask, ”Did someone take on the mission?”

The staff looks back at Argus worriedly and nodded his head, Argus expression darkened, ”Letʼs move out!”, he said to his team before they disappear from the hall.

Back to Rex,

Supernatural can also be classified by their intelligence, a high-rank Supernatural can think and act like a human while lower-rank Supernatural can vary from really dumb to animalistic.

High Intelligence Supernatural is the hardest to deal with, Human is highly intelligent but they are restricted by their human conscience.

All humans are born good, If there is no trigger then no human can do such evil acts.

It is completely different with high-rank Supernatural,

They are as smart as a human but heartless, there is no such thing as wrong as long as they win in the end which makes the higher-ups really alert about them.

”Adhara, can you cut off those mana strings?”, Rex asks, the Lamia will keep struggling until the strings are cut off.

The Lamia is still held down by Adharaʼs spell, hearing Rex, she touches the Lamiaʼs body and closes her eyes,

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The strings create small explosions, after the mana strings were cut off, the Lamia immediately stop its struggle.

Rex is standing still deep in thought, ʼThe Supernatural who controls this Lamia certainly has high intelligence, it blames all of the killings to this dead Lamia while it hiding comfortablyʼ

He looks at the dead corpses, ʼUn-educated people like in this city will certainly be fooled by it if they donʼt know what the Lamia behavior, but...ʼ

Rex approaches the corpses, he kneels on one knee as it inspected the corpses.

ʼThis Supernatural likes to eat kidneysʼ, Rex thought after seeing that the corpses are intact, only their kidneys are gone.

Adhara inspected the corpses too and said, ”This is the FAA uniform, this is in fact the team that is sent before us”

Rex nodded his head in confirmation,

He then said, ”I donʼt like this, letʼs regroup with Rosie and Laura”

Rex and Adhara dashes out of the cave,

The sky is raining just as they got out of the cave, the ground becomes muddy and the forest becomes darker compare to before.

Rexʼs and Adharaʼs clothes are soaking wet because of the rain,

They dash like a gust of wind amidst the rain, Rex ran with all he has, he felt uneasy for unknown reasons.

Then suddenly, a notification appears in front of him,

Rex widened his eyes in surprise, heʼs confused about how the system knows about this but he decided to trust it.

Rex picks up his pace, Adhara notices Rexʼs urgent expression and decided to go faster as well.

Not long after, they arrive back in the city but they immediately went to the hotel.

Just as they arrive at the hotel,

BOOM!

The hotel door is destroyed as something flew out of it passing Rex and Adhara before making a loud crash on their back.

Rex and Adhara subconsciously look back, Rex widened his eyes as anger starting to swell up inside of him.

The thing that burst out of the hotel is Rosie who is bloodied all over carrying Laura, her body is bruised left and right which Rex suspects from defending Laura against something.

”Uaakhh!”, Rosie spat out a mouthful of blood.

Adhara dashes to Rosie, ”Rosie? What happened?!”, she asks worriedly.

Rosie is kneeling on all four weakly, Laura is unconscious beside her without any injury. Rosie then struggles to raise her head up and points at the hotel.

Rex and Adhara looks at the hotel,

An ominous aura slowly seeped out of the hotel entrance, tentacles started to come out of it, a tree-like figure emerges from the hotelʼs entrance exposing its hideous face.

The figure is tree-like and its feet are made of countless tentacles, it has four long hands, its mouth is covered with razor-sharp teeth and a green gas comes out of it.

On its hand hangs the receptionist woman and an old woman attached to mana strings,

Adhara and Rex were shocked looking at this, ʼThat woman and the old lady is a puppet too?! She looks so real despite her weird behaviorʼ

Rexʼs body becomes alert, the Supernatural in front of him is giving alert signals,

Race: Tree Giant - Adult

Power: Early Rank Four - Puppeteer

Mental: 40

Strength: 35

Agility: 29

Endurance: 106

Intelligence: 68

Looking at the Supernaturalʼs stats, Rex sucked in a cold breath, ʼan early Rank-Four Supernatural!ʼ

Adhara also widened her eyes in shock, without even seeing the Supernaturalʼs stats she knows that the Supernatural in front of her is way stronger than the Lamia before.

ROAAR!!

Daak roars making Rosie and Laura tremble scaredly, ”Hu..mans...will die!!”, a hoarse voice seeped into everyoneʼs ear.

Daak struggles to say the words but it makes the sound scarier,

The receptionist woman and the old woman that is attached to Daak hands suddenly fell to the ground, the both of them stands up weirdly then suddenly their eyes flash green,

The old womanʼs arms turn into a sharp pointy wooden object, anything it hits will certainly leave a nasty mark.

While the receptionist womanʼs arms turn into a round object and slams to the ground creating a small crater on the ground

Based on the looks of it, it is really heavy.

RAARGGH!!

The receptionist woman and the old woman roared before they ran forward in a frenzy,

Rexʼs body was filled with immense anger, the moonlight shone above him making him fearless.

Crack!! Crack!!

The anger boiled inside him, he musters his legs strength making the ground cracking under his feet.

He then bolted like a streak of lightning, his hands emit a white hue as his fist landed on the old woman stomach,

BAAM!!

Rex then whispers, ”Force Beam!”

WHOOSH!!

The old woman shot out like a broken kite, the force brought by Rexʼs fist even penetrate her stomach making a gaping hole in it.

The old woman crashes to Daak before bouncing off its body,

Rex was surprised after seeing the toughness of Daakʼs body, ʼWell, 106 Endurance is not just for showʼ

Just as he was in a daze,

The receptionist woman suddenly appeared above him wanted to hit him with its ball-like hand,

Rexʼs reflex is fast, he wants to block the attack but suddenly a tentacle grabs his hands and held them in place.

He was caught off-guard, he didnʼt have the time to block the attack when suddenly,

BAAM!

Adhara appears out of nowhere and kicks the receptionist woman screeching away, ”Donʼt forget about me!”

Rex glance at her, ”Focus on that Tree Giant, its puppet will regenerate endlessly”, Rex said after seeing the old womanʼs gaping hole started to regenerate quickly.

Adhara nodded her head and prepares for a spell, fire elements started to concentrate on her.

Rex wanted to slash the tentacle off of his hand but to his surprise the tentacle is sturdy,

”My ten...tacle, S..trong! Foolish!”, Daak said with its hoarse voice

Hearing this, Rex smiles evilly, ”Yes youʼre pretty sturdy alright but...”

Rex pulls the tentacle towards him strongly, Daak was surprised to feel Rexʼs power as it got pulled in Rexʼs direction.

”Iʼm way stronger than you!”, He then pulls the tentacle with both hands.

Daak was pulled off of the ground as it flew forward, Daak was surprised by Rexʼs strength.

Rexʼs strength added with his equipment along with the Creature of The Night passive skill brought his strength to above 70, it is almost as strong as an early rank-four Awakened that focuses on their strength.

His eyes then glow red, ”Alpha Intimidation!”

Daak felt its body become weaker as it propelled forward, then suddenly, Adharaʼs body started to emit a blazing fire.

Her eyes opened suddenly as she shouted, ”Basic Magic! Burning Schimitars!”

SHRINGG!!

A dozen of scimitars materialize above her, the scimitars are like a dancing sword of death circling above Adhara.

Adhara points her finger at Daak as if sheʼs giving a death sentence towards it,

Immediately, the scimitars that are circling idly above her suddenly flew towards Daak who is in the middle of getting pulled by Rex.

Daak is in a desperate situation, Daak then raises its tentacle to block the scimitars,

ROAAR!

Daak screamed in pain as the scimitars made of fire stab through its tentacles, the fire from the scimitars starting to burn Daakʼs inside and making Daakʼs tentacle turn black charcoal.

Taking advantage of Daakʼs situation, Rex jumped above Daak,

He put his hands together and swung them down intending to hit Daakʼs head but suddenly, the old woman arrives in front of him and takes the hit for Daak.

BOOM!

The old womanʼs head exploded into smithereens as she was sent crashing to the ground and bouncing off of it,

”Shit!”, Rex cursed after having his attack missed but then, his right leg was caught by Daakʼs tentacle.

Daak then swung Rex around and smash him into the ground beside it,

BAAM!!

The ground cracked after Rex smash on it,

”REX!!”, Adhara screamed hysterically after seeing Rex got smashed to the ground.

Daak grins after smashing Rex, it then glances at Adhara with immense killing intent.

Adhara pales in fright feeling the killing intent emitted by Daak, ʼIf Rex is out of the fight, I have no chance in beating itʼ, she thought desperately.

The receptionist woman and the old woman already recovered from their injury, their eyes glow green making Adharaʼs legs trembles.

Then suddenly, ”You cannot show fear to your enemy Adhara, It will only feed their confidence”

Daak jumped away after hearing Rexʼs voice,

Amidst the dust and debris, Rex walks slowly while giving an intense gaze at Daak.

He spat the blood in his mouth, ”Letʼs start round 2 shall we?”
