The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 76: Petty Duel with Luke

”I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL!!”

The guy can be considered to be short, he looks innocent and naive but heʼs currently pointing a sword at Rex.

Hearing the guyʼs declaration, the surrounding people stopped and glance at them.

”Did someone started a fight?”

”Thatʼs Rex! Oh no, someone is messing with him again”

”We canʼt blame him, Rex is not an Awakened so I get why he wanted to challenge him”

”Whoʼs that guy? I have never seen him before”

The crowd broke into a discussion, some are worried for the guy who challenged Rex while some already sent prayers to the guy who is about to get bitten by Rex.

Rex, on the other hand, was confused, ”Who are you?”, he said nonchalantly, in Rexʼs eyes the guy in front of him is nothing.

Rex already checked the guyʼs power and it is only mid-rank three, pretty good for a young guy like him but not enough.

”How dare you a non Awakened join the sparing tournament! Youʼre not worthy!”, the guy said.

Hearing this, Rex was baffled.

His eyes turned cold, he turns to his back and walks away leaving the guy.

Rosie on Rexʼs side put out her tongue to annoy the guy, she then turns her head smugly while leaving the guy.

The guyʼs pride was hurt, he never treated this way before.

”Wait!!”, he shouted desperately but his shout is ignored by Rex and the girls.

The guy gritted his teeth in anger, his face is flushed red.

He readied himself with a sword on his side, the sword started to burn with dark-red fire. The fire is twirling around the sword as if itʼs alive, it suppressed the fire Elementalist in the surrounding.

”WHATʼS THAT FIRE?!”

”Dark red fire? Is it a higher form of fire?!”

”What a talent, he will be very strong in the future. Rex might not be able to take him on!”

The crowd was amazed by the guyʼs fire, it gives the guy more confidence. The muscle on his legs contracted as he lunges towards Rex.

He swings his blazing sword to Rexʼs back, ʼHow dare a non-Awakened ignore me. I will teach him where he belongsʼ

Slash!!

The guy slashed the blazing sword towards Rexʼs back but Rex dodge it to the side,

ʼThis guy is persistentʼ, Rex thought but then he remembers something, ʼDuncan is on my tail and I donʼt know when will he come for me but he will eventually find out, I need to raise my value in front of the universityʼ

The guy didnʼt stop, he twists his body around powerfully.

Dark red energy burst from within the guy, the energy gathered fiercely on his sword, ”Normal Magic, Fire Dragon!”

ROAR!!

The guy slashed as the dark red energy turned into a fire dragon swirling around the sword, it roared fiercely making the fire Elementalist around trembles.

The fire dragon burn even brighter as it got nearer to Rex, itʼs like a tide of fire wanting to swallow Rex whole.

Looking at this, Rexʼs eyes flash with lightning.

He activates the lightning mana inside his body, the electric current started to blitz around Rexʼs body viciously.

The crowd was aghast, they canʼt believe what theyʼre seeing right now.

”He...He becomes an Awakened!”

”OH MY GOD!! How is this possible?!”

The crowd was shivering in fear, they already tasted Rexʼs power when heʼs not yet Awakened. But now, how strong will Rex be if he suddenly became an Awakened.

Even thinking about it makes their heart shrank, but many become inspired by Rex.

The guy is still smiling viciously, in his mind Rex will unable to block his attack and burn.

But reality proves otherwise,

Rex suddenly disappeared from his spot, he just suddenly disappear in front of everyoneʼs eyes.

Before the guy can even react, Rex already arrives in front of him.

The guy panicked, he swings his sword instinctively aiming at Rexʼs head.

SWOOSH!!

The fiery sword slashed towards Rexʼs head, ʼOh no! I canʼt stop the attack! I might just kill him!ʼ, the guy thought in panic, in the heat of battle he unconsciously let out his full power.

But right in front of everyoneʼs eyes, Rex raises his hand and caught the blazing sword.

BAM!!

A shockwave was created pushing everyone back because of the collision, the crowd sucked in a cold breath in shock.

Rex caught the blazing sword bare-handed!

They thought that the attack might threaten Rex with its fire but what in front of their eyes shatters that thought, the attack was nothing in front of Rex!

Rexʼs hand was burning because of the dark fire but it barely burns Rexʼs skin, adding with his regenerative abilities the fiery sword becomes childʼs play in front of him.

The guy was shocked, he widened his eyes as his face drains from all colors, ”Imp...Impossible”

Rexʼs eyes glow a blue hue, his eyes are staring right into the guyʼs eyes.

He cast Alpha Intimidation making the guy crumble in fright,

Rex becomes an unbelievably huge monster that can kill the guy in a blink of an eye, the guyʼs face drains from all colors, ʼHeʼs a monster!!ʼ

His legs started to tremble uncontrollably, the proud look on his face was instantly wiped off.

”Little guy, you shouldnʼt provoke someone you canʼt handle. Let this be a lesson”, Rex readied his fist, swiftly after, his fist landed on the guyʼs making his stomach caved in.

BAM!!

”HUAKHH!!”, the guy spat a mouthful of blood feeling the power from Rexʼs punch.

The punch was pure strength, but to the guy, it felt like he just got hit by a train.

The guy held his gut while blood still flowing out of his mouth, heʼs kneeling on the ground unable to move because of Rexʼs punch.

Rex held his punch back,

If he uses his full power he feared that the stores on the guyʼs back will get destroyed and the guy will probably be killed instantly or maybe his fist mightʼve pierced through the guyʼs stomach.

He did not want any more trouble so he held back,

Rex looks at the guy with cold eyes, he approaches the guy to ask who sent him.

The guy that is kneeling on the ground was utterly hopeless and shocked, ʼThat guy is secretly an Awakened?! but I can clearly feel his lightning mana is not that powerful, how did he become so strong?!ʼ, he thought with a shock.

The onlooking crowd was silent, some of them expected the outcome but not like this.

Just as Rex wanted to grab the guyʼs neck and questioned him, ”Stop!!”, a womanʼs voice shouted from afar.

Rex felt the voice is familiar, he glances and found Hera running towards him.

”Stop! Rex! Itʼs a misunderstanding, Letʼs talk things out”, Hera said with a worried expression, she checks on the guy fearing heʼs too badly injured.

The guy is already limp lying on the ground, his expression scrunched in pain.

”Who is he?”, Rex said casually.

Hera bits her lips, she is hesitating to answer Rex but she then sighs, ”He is Luke, Kevinʼs little brother”

Hearing this, Rex raises his brows mockingly, ”This is his brother? Really?”

Luke who is lying on the ground spurted another mouthful of blood, ”Just you wait, my brother will definitely beat you!”

Rex chuckles lightly, ”You should be worried for your brother, I held my punch for you but I might go overboard with your brother”

Luke wanted to rebutted but suddenly,

”Rex! Letʼs go, why are you arguing with him anyway. Heʼs just a little kid”, Rosie said while hugging Rexʼs arm from the back.

Rex shrugs Rosieʼs hug making her pout, ”Fine, letʼs go”

Just as they wanted to walk away, ”Youʼre...Youʼre Rosie right?”, Luke said while being helped to stand up by Hera.

Hearing Luke, Hera wanted to stop him but Rosie already replied, ”Yea why?”

”Are you that guyʼs girlfriend?”, Luke asks with a hint of anger.

Rosie puts her delicate fingers on her lips in thought, she then replies, ”Well, you can say that”

Luke was surprised for some reason, heʼs currently grinding his bloodied teeth in anger, ”How dare you cheat on my brother!! My brother will surely beat you, Rex!”

Rex frowned, ”What did he mean?”, he asks Rosie.

Rosie panicked, ”I donʼt know! I never even meet Kev...”, just as she said this, she suddenly remembered the guy she bumped the other night.

Seeing Rosie stopped, Rex was confused, ʼDid she met him before? When?ʼ

Feeling the situation might get escalated, Hera panicked and decided to intervene, ”Itʼs not what it sounds like, Kevin is just curious about you so he visited the university yesterday night”

”Then whyʼs this Luke kid said that?”, Rex asks while squinting his eyes.

Hera was at a loss for words, she wanted to make an excuse but under Rexʼs eyes, she becomes unable to think.

Looking at this Rex frowns, then suddenly that frown turns into an evil grin, ”Then letʼs return the favor, shall we?”

Hera was stunned, ”Iʼm sorry I think I caught it wrong, can you repeat that?”

”I said letʼs go to Faraday University today to visit”, he replied before he walks away leaving the stunned Hera.

”Eh?...EH?!”, Hera screamed in surprise, ”This is bad!”

The tournament opening shouldʼve been held tomorrow, the fight will then be held the day after tomorrow after the opening.

But hearing Kevin visit his university to try and provoke him, he cannot just take that mockery and leave it be.

He will return the favor the same.

Meanwhile,

Calidora just arrived in the Vampire Kingdom not too long ago,

She gains so much experience from visiting Zrolis City, from the way humans fight, the war environment, and even socializing with the humans when sheʼs captured.

Not to mention she brought a couple of goods from there, she glanced at the mirror excitedly.

The Vampire citizens sent praises to their origin for Calidoraʼs safe return, they sang songs and sprayed blood to the surrounding in joy.

The guard that guards the Vampire King castle immediately bowed upon seeing Calidora before opening the entrance.

Just as Calidora walks into the castle, her mother sobbed in delight seeing Calidoraʼs return.

She runs towards Calidora disappearing from her spot and hugs her tightly, the news about Calidora got kidnapped makes her entire being tremble in fright.

She cried day and night nonstop, her husband the vampire king even got blamed for it although she knew itʼs her fault for letting Calidora visit Zrolis City.

”My dear daughter...Iʼm so glad that you came back safely”, she said while crying hysterically.

Calidora pats her momʼs back, ”Itʼs okay mom, Iʼm back now!”

The Vampire King also approach the both of them and join in the hugs, ”I hope you be more careful in the near future, Donʼt make your mother worry like that”

”I will dad, Iʼm sorry”, Calidora replied, her eyes become teary because of her motherʼs cries.

After having their reunion, Calidora said excitedly, ”Mom, Dad! Look what I brought”, she signals the guard to bring the mirror she got in.

The guard held the mirror in front of them, heʼs holding it carefully.

Calidora grabs her motherʼs hand and brought her in front of the mirror, ”Mom look! you can see yourself through this item!”

Nezera looks at the mirror, she already knew of this item but seeing Calidoraʼs face she doesnʼt want to sour her mood, ”Oh! I have never seen this before, dear come quick! Itʼs a miraculous item”

The Vampire King joins in the act, ”Oh my, Iʼm quite handsome as expected”, he said proudly.

Hearing this, Nezera and Calidora give him a disgusted look.

The Vampire King smile wryly, he coughs to ease his embarrassing side.

Then Calidora said excitedly, ”Father, you also wonʼt believe who I just met when Iʼm being held by the humans!”

Hearing this, the Vampire King gives Calidora a questioning look.

”I met the Werewolf Spy! I canʼt believe the Werewolves manage to make one of their people into human-skinned”, she said while shaking her head in admiration.

Hearing this, the Vampire King and Nezera look at each other with a surprised look.

Then Calidora continues, ”That Werewolf is pretty strong for his age, I reckon heʼs in his early teen just like me. I told Fredrick to not kill him, itʼs because I saw a powerful helper on his side and also I donʼt want to ruin the Werewolfʼs spy”

Nezera was quite shocked, ”You...You met the Werewolf Spy?”

”Yeah, he even gave me some of his blood to help me. Quite a nice Werewolf I must say, unlike the others”, Calidora said, her eyes are containing stars as she remember Rex.

The Vampire King got surrpised but then his expression turned serious, ”Tell me all about him”
