The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 214: Distant and Cold but Still Remember

Adhara looks up and saw Rexʼs assuring eyes, she was so happy that no words can come out of her mouth.

For some reason, Adhara thought that Rex will agree.

But to her surprise, Rex decided to help her despite the danger that lies in front.

Rex rubs Adharaʼs back assuringly, but then,

A flash of his past flashes through Rexʼs mind like a ghost that never ceases to stop following him, the shadow that stands behind him and will never leave his existence.

The night that he still remembers clearly in his deepest heart,

No amount of consolation, or time can possibly erase this night from his memory.

Itʼs the night when a young boy with a trembling body watches death from the door gap, he watches helplessly as blood splattered on the wall and floor.

Staining them scarlet red,

With no chance, no power, no nothing to help his parents from the devilʼs barbarity.

”GET BACK YOU MONSTER!!”

”NABILA!!”

Rex closes his eyes trying to get rid of the scene from that night,

He then opens his eyes back as his expression remains normal, he then said, ”Go tell Kyran to prepare too, this will be our first of many slopes we will have to go through”

”Weʼll definitely save your father”, Rex added confidently.

Adhara looks at Rex with her beautiful eyes before suddenly,

Tchup!

She kissed Rex right on his lips feeling grateful for meeting him,

This caught Rex off guard as he got kissed by Adhara, but he still lets her as Edward turns his head away from the scene.

After kissing Rex, Adhara smiles sweetly and left the room to tell Kyran.

The room becomes silent again as Rex and Edward are the only people left inside the room.

Rex is still unmoving from his spot,

He then saw Edward is looking at him attentively from the side.

Although nobody notices Rexʼs swift change in expression, Edward saw it clearly and he knows that itʼs the look Rex wear when he thinks of one thing.

One thing that nobody here knows except for Edward,

Rex walks slowly to the edge of the bed with heavy steps, he sat on the edge of the bed as he clasps his hand together while blankly staring at the walls.

Thereʼs no sound in the room, only the subtle voice from outside can be heard.

Aside from that, itʼs all silence.

Looking at this, Edward approach and sit by Rexʼs side.

He looks at Rex and saw his expression is blank, he then look at the wall in front of them before he finally said, ”You remember when the sergeant mayor punished you for sleep talking?”

”Itʼs my first day of joining the Noob Box, and I got greeted by this scene that I thought was stupid”, Edward chuckles lightly remembering Rex doing push-ups alone under the rain until lunch.

Edwardʼs reminiscing about the memories when theyʼre still in the military.

”Back then, I was confused but also curious about you because youʼre the same age as me but youʼre there earlier. Many talks bad behind you but I always wonder what is inside your dream and where does your hatred for the Supernatural come from”

They both sat calmly on the edge of the bed as Edward kept talking about the past.

Rex listen attentively in silence,

Edward then looks at Rex who is looking down with a smile, ”Until the day when I met Billy”

”He points at you who is sitting on the corner alone and said that every time Rex has that look, heʼs thinking of that particular night which birth the demon inside him”

”It doesnʼt surprise me when Billy tells me about that particular night, but the number of times you give that look surprised me. You kept thinking about it even during training, eating, and even sleeping”, Edward shakes his head remembering that.

But then, Edward taps Rexʼs shoulder, ”But look at you now, itʼs been a while since I last saw that look. You buried it so deep that even Adhara didnʼt notice it, you became distant and cold my friend”, he said.

After saying that, Edward stands up as he tidied his clothes.

”When I met you after the ghoulʼs den incident, I thought that youʼre already healed while Iʼm still stuck in the past”, Edward sighed.

He then glances at Rex who is also looking at him, ”Turns out, you become stronger and Iʼm not”

Edward then smiles acutely,

Rex saw the pity behind Edwardʼs smiles as Edward said, ”Youʼre not the helpless boy you once were. This time you will save them, you will save Adharaʼs father”

Just after he said that the door opens.

Adhara came to the room and saw Edward and Rex looking at her,

She can feel the weird atmosphere inside the room, but she didnʼt think anything about it and said, ”Kyran is ready, Iʼll pack your stuff too and we can go now”

”Iʼll come with you guys, Iʼm sure I can help”, Edward said surprising Adhara.

Adhara looks at Edward with a concerned look, ”Are you really okay with this Edward? Itʼs a selfish request from me and you donʼt need to put yourself in trouble for me”

Hearing this, Edward sigh dejectedly, ”What are you saying, I thought we were closer than this”

This makes Adhara feel guilty seeing Edwardʼs expression, she doesnʼt know what to do when suddenly, ”Iʼm joking, Iʼm joking”, Edward chuckled in humor.

Adhara sigh in relief finding Edward is just joking,

”I know the danger so no need to fret, besides, Rex will be there and Iʼll obviously follow him”, Edward said glancing at Rex.

Rex then snapped out of his daze and said, ”Then letʼs go right now, weʼll use the fastest train to get as close to the city as we can before we will resume by foot”

Ten minutes passed,

Adhara already packed all of their belongings as they were ready to go to Beah City,

They got out of Rexʼs room and saw Kyran is already waiting for them,

Kyran doesnʼt have much, to begin with so he only brought a bag, and heʼs excited for the trip making Rex smile, ʼAt least heʼs not dwelling in sadness for too longʼ

After Kyran joins, the group of four headed towards the entrance.

Rosie is still in class by now, and Rex will not bring Ryze who doesnʼt have enough power to defend himself.

Rex looks to the entrance and found the butler standing in the middle of the hall,

He motionlessly stands in the middle of the hall, and Rex frowns upon seeing this knowing that something is up by the way he acts.

”Weʼll be leaving for a couple of days, take care of Ryze for me”, Rex said.

He then intended to walk past the butler but the butler stands in front of Rexʼs way.

The butler looks at Rex with guilt before he said, ”Iʼm sorry, I had to do this”

Hearing this, Rex looks at the butler in confusion.

”What do you mean by that?”, Rex asks with a frown when suddenly,

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The entrance of the room got knocked a couple of times roughly,

After the third knock, the butler went towards the entrance and open it revealing five lecturers wearing a red uniform with stern gazes.

Rex saw Chandler amongst the lecturers, ”Chandler? What is the meaning of this?”, Rex asks.

Chandler then take a step to the front before he answered, ”Youʼre not permitted to go to Beah City, you will stay inside the university until further notice”

This makes Rexʼs group widen their eyes in shock, especially Adhara.

”My father is in danger!! I need to help him!!”, Adhara shouted in anger.

By doing this, the university shows that they donʼt really care about Adhara aside from herself because sheʼs a top Awakened here.

Rex scans the group of lecturers with a frown, ʼAll of them are rank six, we canʼt beat themʼ

After declaring that, Chandler signals to the lecturers to catch Rexʼs group.

This makes Adharaʼs body burns with purple fire, her blazing purple fire becomes even hotter as she glared at the lecturers.

But before she can do anything, ”Adhara stop it”, Rex said.

Adhara looks at Rex with a frown, ”Theyʼre blocking us! We need to save my father!”

”Trust me”, Rex said while looking at the lecturers.

Adhara looks at Rex with a doubtful expression, but she then reluctantly turns off her purple fire and lets the lecturers tie them with mana.

Seeing that Rexʼs group stops retaliating, the lecturers finally refrain them under Chandlerʼs watchful gaze.

Rex look at Chandler and said, ”Who ordered us to be kept here?”

”Vargas order us to stop you guys from going on a suicide mission, the butler told us everything you discussed”, Chandler replied plainly.

He then added, ”Rex, I hope you understand that this is for the best”

Hearing this, Rex becomes angry, ”By letting our loved one die?!! Is this what you ask us to understand?!”, he shouted angrily.

The muscle in Rexʼs body contracted as a violent aura blew the lecturers.

Although it was subtle, it still gives goosebumps to the others.

Chandler widened his eyes seeing this, he can feel how threateningly violent Rexʼs aura is which even makes him feel danger.

Even the lecturers step back because of this,

But Rex didnʼt plan to fight them head-on, he will not win if the vice-principal got involved.

”Let me talk to Vargas, that much is not too much to ask for right?”, Rex said sarcastically, heʼs clearly angered by this.

Hearing this, Chandler nodded his head and brought Rex outside.

Rex sent one last assuring look to the others before he left the room with Chandler.

Meanwhile,

”President Sebrof, The Reinforcement from the Great Barricade has just arrived”, a man said after entering a room.

Hearing this, Sebrof waves his hand, ”Bring them here”

After getting his order, the man left the place and came back with three people.

The three people that just came emit an overwhelming aura that makes the man shudder, theyʼre important people and anyone will know them just from a glance.

Itʼs the backbone of humanity, three ninth rank Awakened.

The group of three consists of two women and one man and some of them is already geared in armor ready for battle.

”President Sebrof, canʼt the situation be handled by you? The Great Barricade will be threatened with three ninth rank Awakened away”, a man said while scratching the back of his head lazily.

The manʼs red eyes glance at Sebrof lazily,

His frame is quite muscular with orange undercut hair, and he seems to be the more relaxed one amongst the three with his black shirt covered with a black leather jacket.

Then a woman with light blue hair followed, ”Donʼt mind him president, what is the situation?”

The woman with light blue hair looks calm with her ocean-blue eyes.

Her breasts and shoulder are covered in armor with chainmail underneath covering all the way until her thighs, a blue hood attached to the armor with a white bow that is the size of her body strapped on her back.

The bow is beautifully carved and covered with a smooth runic pattern with a glowing ball of blue energy located in the middle of the bow acting as the bowʼs heart.

Sebrof then stands up, he looks at the group of three with a serious expression before he explained, ”The situation is dire as the demons started attacking neighboring cities, and this cannot be allowed to be left longer so we will divide into teams of two to attack both demonic cities together and wipe them”

Hearing this, the group of three nodded their heads.

But then, ”Arenʼt we better off sticking together? What will happen if they set up a trap for us”, the other woman said.

This woman looks more mature and strict.

Long blonde hair added to her sharp emerald eyes gives her an air of invisible intensity that makes others nervous around her.

”We may take the safe route, but riots will keep spreading the longer the demonic city stands. By that time, the humans will split apart”, Sebrof replied with a sigh.

After answering their questions, Sebrof then said, ”Meet me downstairs in ten, weʼll eliminate the demonic cities and I expect no casualty. If your life felt dangered, just retreat back and report”

”Youʼre too precious for humanity, and are not allowed to die there”, he added.

Hearing this, the group of three nodded their heads as Sebrof walk past them.
