The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 181: Alpha Bearing and Qrila City

Rex touches his forehead feeling something hit his forehead,

It happened so fast that even with his enhanced senses, he canʼt see or even react to something that hit him on the forehead.

ʼDid that Supernatural did this?ʼ, Rex thought.

He canʼt think of anything else besides the Northern Black Headsʼ doings.

Their brief exchange completely shocked Rex as it can flee under Rexʼs nose, it completely baffled him knowing that such a creature exists.

Rex scans the surrounding area, he then thought, ʼThat Northern Black Head is taking the black leaves, what are they going to do with it?ʼ

After thinking for a while, Rex suddenly remembered.

ʼOh yeah! I think the quest reward gave me black leavesʼ, Rex thought.

He then takes the black leaves he got from the inventory, two black leaves appeared on his hand that look completely the same as normal leaves.

Aside from its color, pure black.

Rex then scans the black leaves with the system,

A leaf that grows from a Dark Pixy Tree that can only be found in an environment devoid of sunlight, it is also known as the Water Poison. Upon touching a water surface, it will turn into a black substance that can kill a rank four creature easily and hurt a higher rank creature. Continous exposal to this black leaf will kill any creature if enough lightless leaves are used.

Reading this, Rex frowns.

The explanation of the Lightless Leaves makes him even more confused, ʼWhat do they want with poisonous leaves? Is that their food or something?ʼ, Rex thought.

After shaking his head, Rex then went back to Liliya.

Liliya is currently tending to her wounds, sheʼs using a green elixir to rub the wound on her stomach from the Dark Monkey before.

She then heard someone approaching before Rex pops from the darkness.

”I cleared out the area, there should be no more disturbance this night”, Rex said as an excuse, he only left Liliya to catch that snitching Dark Monkey before.

Hearing this, Liliya nodded her head before she lies on the tree trunk.

Although sheʼs injured, the thing that makes her weak is the skill she used before that put her in this state.

”Whatʼs that skill you use before? Itʼs like a barrier of red mark”, Rex asks.

Liliya close her eyes before she replied, ”I develop the skill a while ago, itʼs a defensive skill that can spawn invisible red marks that will detonate upon touching it”

”Thatʼs convenient, it will be useful for fighting a group of creatures”, Rex nodded his head in affirmation.

He then sits on the tree trunks beside Liliya before he checks the system,

Rex looks at the skill tree and taps the Alpha Intimidation skill, his eyes then widened in the realization of his blunder.

ʼWait, I thought the Alpha Bearing skill need 30 Skill Upgrade. Turns out it only needs 20 Skill Upgradeʼ, Rex thought.

He currently has enough Skill Upgrade added with the quest reward he got from before.

Rex already upgrades his Force Manipulation skill to level two for 15 Skill Upgrade, with the remaining Skill Upgrade he can also upgrade his Alpha Intimidation skill.

He clicks on the upgrade button before the Alpha Intimidation skill turned into Alpha Bearing.

It is a more powerful version of Alpha Intimidation that will reduce anyoneʼs stats that looks at him, anyone with a lower mental stat of course.

This will make him more efficient in fighting groups of enemies.

With the barrier created by Liliya and his Alpha Bearing skill, Rex canʼt wait to use it to fight a group of creatures.

Rex then closes his eyes intending to meditate but then,

RAWR!!

Growls of creatures can be heard from the darkness,

From the sound of it, Rex can tell that there are many of them, just like the Dark Monkey from before that lives in a group.

Rex opened his eyes with a smile,

He saw many white eyes looking at him from the darkness, they are cat-like creatures the size of lions.

They have a brown muscular body with a spotted pattern on it, two sharp fangs from their upper mouth, and hunchback bodies like hyenas.

Rex nudge Liliyaʼs body to wake her up,

Feeling the nudge, Liliya open her eyes with a frown, ”What are you-”, her words stopped when she saw theyʼre surrounded again.

Itʼs even worse now because this is the second time they got to attack,

”I think weʼre not going to get much sleep in this place”, Rex said, but his mouth quirk up to a smile as if itʼs a good thing.

Liliya looks around with a sigh, her body is still strained by the fight before, ”Theyʼre weaker than the Dark Monkey, you handle it I want to sleep”

After saying that, Liliya mark Rex with her Enhancing Mark and go back to sleep.

This makes Rexʼs smile even wider, ʼIʼm not going to deny this running exp, sleep tight Liliyaʼ, he thought before he activates his new skill.

”Alpha Bearing”

SWOSH!!

A red shockwave exploded subtly from Rexʼs body,

It doesnʼt bring that much effect but the fierce look of the cat-like creatures turns into shock, they can feel their power leaving them as Rexʼs bearing becomes unimaginably oppressing.

They can see Rexʼs dark red aura that take a shape of a big red Werewolf,

All of the cat-like creatures that got hit by the subtle red shockwave got weaker by 30%, all of them becomes scared by Rexʼs aura.

Added with Rexʼs superior bloodline, these creatures donʼt stand a chance.

But Rex will not let them get away, ”DONʼT YOU RUN NOW LITTLE KITTIES!”

Somewhere outside of Ratmawati City, there is a level four city that is surrounded by lakes.

The streets in this city are all crowded with people,

Merchants that sold many things, families bonding together while playing street games and even guards that kept the laws in the city can be seen walking around idly.

No crime has occurred in this city for quite a while, it can be seen through the guardʼs faces.

They are more like friendly city guards than actual guards, the weapons on their hands are even of an old model.

Aside from the lively city, thereʼre people with black crow tattoos roaming the street.

If Rex was to see their tattoos, he will instantly recognize it as the tattoo of a member of the Stygian Crow Organization.

Or also known as, the Black Hand.

This city is one of the banded level four cities that felt abandoned by Ratmawati City, and they are currently under the protection of the SCO.

These Black Hands are beloved by the city, all of the people here are dependant on them.

Out of all of the people in the city, there is one person that just arrive at the city by car.

If Rex was here then he will immediately recognize this person, the person that accompany him during his time at Ochyra University, Rosie.

Rosie is wearing layered clothes because of the coldness of this place, sheʼs dragging a suitcase while tidying the scarf on her neck.

Sheʼs looking around a place before her eyes lit up, ”Abby!”, she shouted.

A woman with expressive blue eyes and her medium-long, luscious, dark brown hair glance at Rosie from afar, her expression lit up when she saw Rosie coming towards her.

”Rosie!”, she shouted before she runs and hugs Rosie.

The two of them are close friends, and it seems itʼs been a while since they saw each other.

”How have you been! Itʼs been a year since I last saw your thick ass!”, Abby said before slapping Rosieʼs ass in public.

Rosie blushed before she hugs her arm in embarrassment, ”Letʼs get out of here first, Iʼm cold”

They both then went to a house that is not far from the entrance of the city, itʼs inside a residence that looks homey and comfortable.

While walking there, ”Qrila City seems different, the last time Iʼm here the city looks devoid of people and is about to crumble”, Rosie said.

”Everything changed after the Black Hand, they offer us protection and resources making the city thrives like this”, Abby said with a prideful look.

It is her hometown, and seeing her hometown like this certainly makes her proud.

Hearing this, Rosie looks around in amazement.

She read the news about the banded level four cities called Abandoned by Light, and she canʼt believe that Qrila City is also a part of it and it looks so lively.

ʼAre the Black Hand really that great? How come they can protect people without being an Awakenedʼ, Rosie thought.

After reaching Abbyʼs home, Rosie unpacked her things.

She will be staying here for a couple of days or even a week before she went back, she came here to clear her mind from things.

”Are you done?”, Abby said after entering Rosieʼs room.

Rosie puts her hands on her waist before she said, ”Yup, I know what youʼre thinking so letʼs go right now!”

Abby look at Rosie weirdly,

It is a custom for them that every time they meet in a long time, they will go to a bar to tell each other their life stories and catch up.

But Rosie didnʼt like drinking, so seeing her this fired up makes Abby frowns.

”Stop looking at me like that, letʼs just talk in the bar”, Rosie said before she pulls Abby outside of her home heading towards the nearest bar.

In the bar, Rosie poured out of her frustrations.

The alcohol she consumed this time is way past her limits, her face is already bright red.

She already told her stories with Rex from start to finish, and of course, she filters the part of him being a Werewolf.

”I told him I will do anything for him, but he declined. He said that I didnʼt have the same ambition like him. So he left me, haaahh what should I do”, Rosie said while drinking.

Itʼs not even an hour yet, and sheʼs already drunk.

Abby plays with her glass hearing Rosieʼs story, she then said, ”What is this ambition heʼs so crazy about?”

Hearing this, Rosie shakes her head, ”What do you mean?”

”The ambition youʼre talking about, What is it?”, Abby asks patiently.

Rosie is already drunk as hell, and her mind is probably not smarter than a walnut.

”I canʼt tell you that, he will hate me if I said it to anyone”, Rosie said, sheʼs drunk but she still remembers to keep all of her secrets a secret.

Abby message her forehead before she finally said, ”All Iʼm saying is if you donʼt have the same ambition as him, rather than forcing it, why donʼt you just become his ambition”

”If heʼs crazy about power, then become a powerful person that will make him stick with you”

”If heʼs crazy about money, then get rich so he will stick with you”

Rosie stopped as she widened her eyes, what Abby said completely baffles her.

”Do you get it? Hello? Rosie are you there?”, Abby said while waving her hands in front of Rosie who is suddenly daydreaming.

She then snaps out of her daze before she said, ”Yeah, yeah I get it”

After answering Abby,

Abby started to tell Rosie to not go crazy because of some guy, but Rosie didnʼt hear all of the things she said after her last sentences.

ʼBecome his ambition, Do I really have to do that?ʼ

Back at the Lightless Marsh,

Liliya opened her eyes after some time, she woke up to the smell of something delicious.

She looks down from the tree and finds Rex roasting something, he manages to create a fire despite the moist environment.

”What are you doing?”, Liliya said after jumping down.

Rex looks to her before he gives Liliya a piece of meat on a stick, ”Eat this, I found that the meat from the creatures before is tasty”

Hearing this, Liliya hesitates but when she bites the meat her eyes lit up.

What Rex said turns out to be true, the meat of the Dark Monkey or even the cat-like creature from before is tasty.

But then, Liliya shakes her head and said, ”Weʼre on a mission, we havenʼt even find the Northern Black Heads”

”I found their location while youʼre sleeping, so just eat and weʼll go search for them”, Rex said nonchalantly as he bites the meat in delight.

Liliya was stunned before she nodded her head,

They both started eating the roasted meat until theyʼre satisfied, Liliya didnʼt complain anymore because Rex already located their whereabouts.

After eating, Rex and Liliya stand up,

”I meet one of them before, but I got hit by something before that Northern Black Head disappear from my sight”, Rex said.

He then continues, ”All I know is that itʼs definitely one of their abilities, so we must keep our guard when we meet them”

Liliya nodded her head, ”Lead the way, I will create an invisible barrier around us”

Rex nodded his head before both of them dashes into a direction, they left the place just like a ghost in the darkness of the Lightless Marsh.
