The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 349: The Start of the Mission

Rex leaves the room and intends to leave for the mission,

But he stops for a moment in the hallway and opens the quest from the Tree Spirit that he got a while back, the quest reward is a Fire Serpent Spirit that Rex planned on giving to Adhara.

The fire snake already embedded the big tree with its fiery core, although the tree looks lush it is actually dying inside because of the nurture of different energy. Find the red snake and bring it to the big tree!

Quest Reward: Fire Serpent Spirit

ʼSystem, How is the Fire Serpent Spirit compared to Devo?ʼ, Rex asks.

Reading this, Rex rubs his chin in thought, ʼItʼs good enoughʼ

ʼEven Jane Atkins only has a spirit that doesnʼt even reach the 1,000 years mark, and sheʼs from the ninth rank family. This Fire Serpent will do just fineʼ

But a frown then appears on Rexʼs face, ʼAs for Kyran...ʼ

Rex opens the system shop and filters to just Dark Attribute Spirit that has at least in the early realm of high spirit just like Adharaʼs, but his eyes widen when he saw the prices.

ʼWhy is it so expensive?ʼ, Rex thought in surprise.

High-rank dark attribute spirit prices are way higher than normal, the cheapest one is 120,000 gold and itʼs barely a high rank since its age is right by the 5,000 years.

Rex close the shop deciding to buy Kyranʼs spirit later after he get Adharaʼs, but then he suddenly remembered as he loosen the restraints on Devo, ʼDevo, you up?ʼ

[What is it? Youʼre disturbing my nap]

ʼJust wondering, Can you restraint all spirits that are younger than you?ʼ, Rex asks.

When Rex confronted the Platchi last night, he found it very easy to take down Duncan after dissipating his spirit which is what makes a fifth rank and a sixth rank different.

Itʼs very useful if Devo can dissipate every younger or weaker spirit than him.

Hearing this, Devoʼs laughs ring inside Rexʼs head as the expectant look on Rexʼs face started to fade since he knows that Devo is laughing at him.

[Youʼre really ignorant arenʼt you], Devo mocked.

He then explains, [I can only do that to a spirit that doesnʼt even reach half of my life, unlike other living beings that can get stronger if they try, Spirit canʼt really do that. What determines our strength is how long we live, we canʼt become stronger willingly]

[Higher rank Awakened can deflect my energy so restraining their spirit is impossible, even a seventh rank with the weakest spirit, I canʼt dissipate them because their Materialization is sturdier than me]

ʼMaterialization? Whatʼs that mean?ʼ, Rex asks.

[Right now, Iʼm nothing but a ghost since youʼre still a sixth rank Awakened. The higher the Awakened rank, the more we can manifest into the real world and give you our power. Materialization means the state of a spirit manifestation]

Reading this, Rex nodded his head in understanding.

Basically what he thought was possible was just hopeful thinking, since Devo is the strongest spirit since even the Atkins have weak spirits just below a thousand years old, the only thing stopping Devo is because of the Materialization that he explains.

That is because Rex is still a sixth rank, Devo canʼt budge spirit from a higher rank Awakened.

ʼWell, this still makes me the strongest in my realmʼ, Rex thought before he left.

Two hours later,

Rex arrives back at the UWO main office, he got escorted by Linda who has already been on standby since the morning waiting for Rex.

But heʼs not going together with Linda in her car,

Instead, Rex is riding Delta through the privileged street following Lindaʼs car from the back.

Many people glance at Rex when they saw heʼs riding Delta, Zeragon has a high standing even when Rex is in sector 2 where many powerful Awakened live.

This shows just how hard to tame mutated animals,

Some even try to tame lower-rank mutated animals like mutated cats or dogs, but still, even after years, they canʼt tame them as their minds are filled with the intent to kill.

Itʼs not the same as the regular animals the world has before the Supernatural Emergence.

Even if they did tame lower-rank mutated animals, they wouldnʼt boast about it.

In front of the UWO main office, there are many people around.

Just from a glance, Rex notices that there are many guild members from the 25 families gathered here. Theyʼre wearing their guild uniform, so itʼs easy to tell.

There are roughly 13 different guild members in front of the building,

Aside from doing missions scattered all over the human territory, some of the stronger free Awakened are recruited by the related family to be their guards.

Itʼs a dream for many people to be recruited by the 25 Families, itʼs quite an honor.

These people Rex is seeing on the parking lot is that said guards,

ʼIʼm curious of how the descendants will do in the mission. I already prepared for the worst though, so it doesnʼt matterʼ, Rex thought as he got off of Delta.

He rubs Deltaʼs head gently as he said, ”Be good now, no more going nuts alright?”

Delta whimpers lightly as if she understands what Rex is saying, she lightly pushes Rexʼs chest away with her muzzle playing with him making Rex chuckle.

After talking to Delta, Rex strode into the building.

Some UWO personnel escorted him and Linda through the hallway,

They are heading to the back of the building where Rex already can smell the scent of the 25 Families, he met with them a couple of times and this makes Rex remember their scents clearly.

Rex arrives at the back of the building where the descendants have gathered,

The back of the building is an open place that has some green lushes here and there, this place looks like a resting place for the workers but this place is very spacious with the ground decorated with silver marble concrete.

With a scan from Rexʼs eyes, the ground turns out to have already been engraved by runes.

ʼItʼs a teleportation formationʼ, Rex thought.

All of the descendants are already on their armor, some of them even wear extravagant armor with many protection accessories on them which makes them look funny in a way.

While walking, Rex glance to the right,

”Remember, just stay back when you meet a fifth rank Undead or higher”

”Listen to your father, and donʼt even try when you meet powerful Undead. Throw away your pride. Surviving is more important than anything, I donʼt want to see you get taken back in a coffin”

He then glances to the left and finds Dray with Daniel and his wife, and he can also see Valery.

All of them are getting reminded by their parents about their battle plan, this makes Rex a bit weird since heʼs the only one walking in without his parents.

Upon noticing Rex has arrived, Danielʼs eyes brighten.

He then said something to Dray before Dray started walking towards Rex.

”Hey, You ready? Donʼt forget to pick me alright, Iʼll owe you a favor if you do this one”, Dray said with a smile pressuring Rex even more.

Rex didnʼt answer as he looks around,

But then suddenly, someone jumped from the back trying to surprise him.

Instead of surprising Rex, the figure that tries to surprise Rex got nothing but a cold stare.

”That was stupid of me”, a woman clad in armor said as she try to surprise Rex.

Rex glances at the armored woman before he frowns, ”Evelyn?”, he asks while looking at the woman in front of him, the woman is covered in full plate armor.

He can tell that itʼs a woman because of how the armor curved on the waist part.

”Yep, itʼs me!”, Evelyn said as she takes off her helmet.

Evelyn shakes her head left and right making her long silky red hair dance with the wind, although sheʼs wearing full plate armor there is no hint of sweat on her face.

Of course, the armor is engraved with a cooling rune, for Evelynʼs convenience of course.

Rex shakes his head after realizing that Evelyn forgot once again that Rex is a Werewolf, he can clearly sense Evelyn creeping on his back.

Looking to her side, thereʼs also a figure clad with a similar armor as Evelyn.

The figure is, of course, Kevin.

Both of them are wearing full plate silver-ish armor, red band, and cloth made of enhanced mutated silk decorated their armor with a red cloak on their back. This set is clearly inspired by the armor of the medieval ages, it looks kinda cool.

The difference between Kevin and Evelynʼs armor lies on their helmet,

Evelynʼs helmet has a red plume decorating its top while Kevin doesnʼt, what Rex finds fascinating is the scarfs on both of their necks though.

Sixth rank equipment made by a remnant of Talos the Fire Wyvern. Give the wearer increased agility by enhancing the wearerʼs fire element and also have the ability to cover the wearerʼs body protecting them from any external attacks.

ʼItʼs a decent defensive itemʼ, Rex thought with a smile.

Rex then scans the items that the descendants around him wear before he sighs, ʼAll of them wears defensive items with only one of them has some sort of offensive items, theyʼre really scared of dying arenʼt theyʼ

Dray on the side suddenly looks at his phone before he mutters, ”It should be about time”

Hearing this, Rex looks around trying to find someone.

”Where is Gerrard? Heʼs still not here?”, Rex asks in confusion, the mission was about to start and Rex canʼt find Gerrard anywhere.

But just as he said that,

ROAR!!

All of the descendants jolted upon hearing the roar, They all look up unconsciously upon hearing the roar including Rex.

In the sky, Rex can see a white monstrous tiger with wings.

The tigerʼs wings are at least 30 feet wide composed of angelic feathers, two horns are sticking on the tigerʼs forehead that is curving up, and its tail is a steel color.

Rex looks to the person riding it and find that itʼs Gerrard,

Turns out Gerrard is a Zeragon too, a higher rank Zeragon at that.

Gerrard wearing his white armor looks graceful in the sky as the mutated tiger slowly descend and landed in the middle of the descendants, he then got down from the big mutated tiger under everyoneʼs gaze.

ʼMid Sixth Rank, thatʼs one powerful mutated animalʼ, Rex thought after he scan the tiger.

While Rex is looking at the tiger, a growl can also be heard from the side and Rex found Delta being escorted by the UWO members from the side.

ROAR!

Delta roared loudly towards the white tiger, she growls while baring her sharp fangs.

Looking at this, the white tiger scoffs without even replying to Deltaʼs roar as if sheʼs not the white tigerʼs competitors since theyʼre a realm apart.

Gerrard is also patting the white tiger lightly,

His expression is calm and stoic even under Deltaʼs roar but Rex can hear his heartbeat is out of rhyme, itʼs clear that Gerrard is feeling good about this.

Rex runs to Delta trying to calm her down, ”Why are you getting so worked up for?”

Growl!

Delta replies by pointing her muzzle towards the mutated white tiger that is looking at Delta with a mocking gaze, the tigerʼs size is way bigger than Delta and itʼs clear Delta is not its match.

Seeing this, Rex then mutters, ”Calm down, youʼll get there”

Hearing this, Delta whimpers before turning her head away while getting stroked on the head by Rex, he then glanced at the white tiger with a fierce glint.

Flash!

Rexʼs eyes flash in red startling the white tiger as it steps back making a few thudding sounds.

The frame and sheer size of the mutated white tiger is enough to make the ground slightly tremble, but this behavior surprises Gerrard since he can see a slight fear on the tigerʼs eyes.

ʼFine, Iʼll help Delta to become stronger after thisʼ, Rex thought, turning his head away.

Although he didnʼt show it on his face, Rexʼs competitive nature is riled up seeing that Gerrard has a sixth rank mutated animal as his mount.

It even irritates him a bit when Delta whimpers submissively.

When the descendants are looking at the quarrel between Delta and the white tiger.

”Alright! Everyone is gathered here right?!”, the same UWO official from the auditorium before shouted bringing everyoneʼs attention to him.

The parents of the descendants moved to the side per the UWO instruction,

After looking at each of the descendantsʼ eyes, the man can see different signs from their eyes as he said, ”Iʼll quickly remind you guys again what the objective is”

”Obliterate the five companies of the Undead around Eqosa City”

”That is the only objective nothing else, so donʼt get sidetracked. I expect not one of you to die in this mission, itʼs for the better good for your respective families and yourself of course”

Another UWO official then whispers stopping the quick briefing,

Hearing what the other UWO official said, the man then continues, ”We have located your teleportation point, you will be teleported to Zissea City. The city is already in ruin but their Marginal Anchor is still working, so weʼll teleport all of you there”

”The Undead companies will be on your west after arriving there, the leaders will be given a map each to help guide the others. We donʼt know how the situation there will be, after getting teleported you will be on the battlefield so keep your guard up”

After saying that, the man then moves to the side where all of the heads of the family are.

The descendants including Rex who is already on Deltaʼs back are in the middle, the silver marble ground started to glow as the formation is starting.

Both Rex and Gerrard are given a map each,

Looking at this, Rex then said, ”Evelyn, Kevin, and Dray, stick close to me”

Hearing their names getting called, the three of them went to Rex and stood by Rex preparing to get transported by the teal energy.

”Remember, from this point onwards your life and death is on your own hand”

”Good Luck!”

Itʼs the last words that can be heard from the manʼs mouth before a transparent teal barrier shot up to the sky, and before they realize it, all of their bodies turn into teal energy and disappear from their spot.

SWOOSH!

The teal energy shot up to the sky as the descendants disappear from their place.

Sebrof who is watching this from his own office is smiling while smoking his cigarette, he then mumbles, ”Although itʼs the descendants of the 25, I sure hope one of them dies”

Zissea City, outside of Ratmawati City.

CRACK!

BOOM!

A teal light creates a cracking sound on the sky before the energy shot down and hit the ground, the descendants materialize again after the teal energy dissipates.

”I feel sick”, Kevin mutters while holding his stomach.

Hearing this, Evelyn approached him worriedly as she pats his back a couple of times after taking off Kevinʼs helmet in case he wanted to puke.

Rex looks around and find that the whole city is destroyed,

”We should go west from here right?”, Dray asks while pointing to the west side.

But Rex ignores Drayʼs question before he mutters, ”Keep your guard up, Weʼre surrounded”
