The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 509: Unexpected Gift from Prof. K

With Amara on his side, Rex descends the stairs seeing familiar faces already sitting in the guest room. One of them being Liliya whose eyes brighten upon seeing him. The eight people sitting in the guest room stood up realizing that Rex is descending the stairs.

These people should be the black hands belonging to the Green Team.

Itʼs been so long since Rex checked on the green team, the last time was during the mission to take over the Undead alongside the descendants of the 25 Golden Crest Family. From then, the Green Team certainly expanded.

Amongst the eight people, Rex finds three of them familiar.

The twins and the indifferent man he met upon getting back from the Undead mission was sitting amongst the group and this made him confused, ʼArenʼt they the red team, why are they here?ʼ

But just after looking at the people gathered in the guest room, his eyes landed on a woman.

ʼMom...? Why is she doing there?ʼ, Rex thought in confusion seeing that Mrs. Greene is sitting amongst them, she turns her head towards Rex giving him a warm smile.

Rex steps toward the sofa before the eight people excluding Liliya bow.

”Greeting to the Green Messenger!”

Unlike the last time that he got this kind of treatment, this time heʼs not panicking since the SCO has been accepted now and Sebrof knows about his relationship with the SCO. Nothing needs to be hidden anymore, and for some reason, it feels good.

”Mom, why are you here?”, Rex asks straightforwardly.

Hearing this, Mrs. Greene stood up before she replied, ”Iʼm just accompanying them until you got here, itʼs rude to not entertain guests. You must have something important to discuss, I will not bother you then”

After saying that, Mrs. Greene gives the others a smile before heading into the kitchen.

”Your mom seems nice, sheʼs completely different than you. I find it hard youʼre her actual son”, Liliya said with a slight chuckle at the end not knowing that her joke is actually true.

Rex didnʼt mind it, his attention was grabbed by the fancy outfit Liliya is wearing.

Looking up and down, Rex realized that Liliya is not wearing the usual SCO outfit. The black hands from the SCO wear a basic outfit with the color of their team, now Liliya seems to have an even better outfit than before. It was still dominated by green color but certainly made of higher quality materials than before.

Rex finds it fitting and fancy, good for the public eye.

Her body is wrapped by a black one-piece battle suit that is made of glossy materials making the battle suit shine under the light, green hood attached to a cape, and also well-equipped with black vambraces.

”Itʼs the new SCO official outfit, what do you think?”, Liliya asks showing off the outfit.

While looking at the outfit, Rex nodded his head up and down but then he glances at the othersʼ outfits, ”Definitely an upgrade from before, but why are your outfit different than theirs?”

Unlike Liliyaʼs outfit, the other black handsʼ outfits are different. More generic.

The others are wearing tops, pants, and gloves that are all black with a silver belt, and the gun that is developed by Prof. K and already massed produce that can fire a silver bullet is strapped on their belts.

A final touch of the outfit is the dark green cape attached to their right shoulder, it has a furry upper part and covers the right side of the one wearing it, perfectly hiding the handgun.

Rubbing her nose, Liliya then replied, ”Iʼm a senior, so my outfit is handmade specially for me”

”Alright senior, sit down and tell me about the departure”, Rex said with a chuckle before sitting down on the single sofa while Liliya sat on the long sofa on the side, the others didnʼt sit back down and just stands behind Liliyaʼs sofa without creating a fuss.

Itʼs rather weird to talk with Liliya with them on her back, but she already started explaining.

Rex can only focus back on her and ignores the people standing behind her,

”Weʼre departing as soon as next week, the Demon Stronghold is making a larger movement than the Vampire Stronghold. The UWO has demanded that we send what we have as early as possible, time is not on our side. But thankfully, the mass production of weapons and battle suits has been going well thanks to the help we got from the UWO.

And now weʼre almost ready to depart and reinforce the Great Barricade, we can go alongside the main army to get to the Great Barricade”

”The Demon Stronghold is our aim, so we can go through there before entering the Supernatural Territory to search for a high-rank Shapeshifter. This is our current green team, and they all are going with us”

Upon hearing this, Rex nodded his head before his eyes shifted to the twins.

When Kyran got back from the Hester Familyʼs mansion, Rex already talked with him regarding the situation of the war that is reported by the Reed Family before that came. Because of that, he knows that the Demon Stronghold is making major moves.

But his attention is still fixated on the Vampire Stronghold,

ʼThe Vampire Stronghold also is making a move, the Demons are very tricky and they might trying to make a smokescreen to hide the fact that the Vampires doing something of importance. Especially with that Origin Cutlass they have...ʼ, Rex thought with a frown.

Calidora has an Origin Cutlass that can even threaten him in his berserk form, itʼs bad news.

Remembering that time when he was fighting with Calidora cloudily, Rex remembered that the Origin Cutlass she wields doesnʼt do anything major. But itʼs a weapon wielded by an Origin, so there must be a reason why itʼs not that deadly as a weapon belonging to an Origin.

One such possibility that Rex thought is that the weapon is not activated yet, or sealed.

Vampires are revolving around blood, so the sword must have blood related ability, ʼIʼll tell Vargas about this weapon, they need to keep a close eye on the Vampire Stronghold even though the Demon Stronghold is making major movementʼ

After nodding and thinking briefly, Rex then refocuses on the talk he had with Liliya.

Pointing at the twins with his eyes, he then asks remembering that the twins and the man beside them belong to the other team, ”If thatʼs the case, why are they here? Arenʼt they from the red team?”

”Those three just got transferred from the red team to us, I think theyʼre your fans...”

Just after Liliya finished saying that, one of the twins steps forward and said excitedly, ”Itʼs an honor to work under you sir Rex, we definitely would try our best in making this mission a success!”

Hearing this, Rexʼs eyes glisten as he scans the three of them.

ʼThree of them are peak sixth rank, but that other guy is stronger than the restʼ, Rex thought after scanning the three of them, he then glanced back at Liliya and said, ”Okay, weʼll depart exactly next week alongside the main army. I want you all to be sharp, weʼre hunting a mid or possibly peak seventh rank Shapeshifter after all”

”Yes sir!”, all of them replied in a union.

Rex wanted to escort them all back but stopped by Liliya, ”I almost forgot, Prof. K wanted to give this to you. Let me teach you how to use it”, she said while grabbing a box from a woman on her back.

Looking at the wooden box in her hand, Rexʼs interest is piqued.

Prof. K has his respect as an inventor that will greatly help humanity fight the Supernatural, everything he made is definitely a wonderful invention such as the gun and even the Supernatural Radar that he was about to make. Rex is interested because of that.

While waiting for Liliya to take an item out of the wooden box, Rex canʼt help but feel anticipated.

Not long after, she then takes out an object that looks like a black candle. I

The black candle is attached to a necklace acting like a pendant, and although it looks like an ordinary black candle from its appearance alone Rex can feel that itʼs somewhat magical. Not that it has an aura or anything, but he can just feel itʼs not a regular object.

”What is that...?”, Rex mutters while looking at the black candle.

Liliya held the candle carefully before wearing it, she then takes out a black pouch from the wooden box before putting her fingers into the pouch and pinching a substance similar to sand, ”This is a new invention by Prof. K, you take this black dust and sprinkles it on the top of the candle”

”Itʼs a prototype of the smaller version of the Supernatural Radar...”

Upon hearing this, Rexʼs eyes widen as he didnʼt expect that the item turns out to be another version of the Supernatural Radar. He tries to stop her but itʼs too late.

”After sprinkling the black dust, the black candle will be activated. If thereʼs a Supernatural, the candle will be li-”

Before she can even finish her sentence, her eyes widen and so do the other black hands.

Their eyes are fixated on the black candle that has its tip burning brightly with an astral blue fire, they seem to be caught off guard with this as they didnʼt expect the black candle to burn with the astral blue fire.

”Light up with blue fire...”, Liliya mutters in utter shock.

In a union, all of their gazes shifted to Rex as if they were asking for an explanation.

Liliya then suddenly snap out of her daze and instantly stood up as the root-like mark on the side of her face glows, her red aura also sizzling around her body before she glared at the black hands behind her with murderous gazes, ”Thereʼs a Supernatural here!”

Brak!!

Each of the black hands jumps back looking at each other warily, they were gazing at each other sharply trying to find the hidden Supernatural inside this mansion. Amara who stood by the side was also surprised by the sudden change in atmosphere.

Mrs. Greene even came out of the kitchen hearing the commotion.

The tension inside the guest room kept rising higher as the Black Hands glared at each other.

Knowing that the Supernatural can turn humans into their kinds, thereʼs a possibility that there is an infiltrator from the Supernatural. Of course, they thought the Supernatural was aiming for Rex.

With his standing in the human territory, certainly the Supernatural felt threatened by him.

Despite what they thought is true as the Demons, Werewolves, and Vampires are after him, they couldnʼt infiltrate the human territory that easily as they donʼt have any items to cover their aura in a big city filled with Awakened like Ratmawati City.

But the candle nevertheless lights up which makes all of them alert.

While witnessing this tense scene, Rex canʼt help but sigh in relief, ʼThat was close...ʼ

Although the black candle is the little version of the Supernatural Radar, it can only detect if thereʼs a Supernatural nearby not points in the direction of the Supernatural. If somehow the black candle fire can points to the Supernatural, then Rex will be in so much trouble.

But thankfully, it doesnʼt have that feature yet. Maybe itʼs because itʼs still a prototype.

Liliya has been with him from the moment she got inside the SCO, and thereʼs no doubt in her mind that Rex is a human which is why she turns to the other black hands instead. How ironic if she finds out that turns out Rex is the Supernatural all along.

Standing up from the seat, Rex catches the attention of all of them.

Looking at Liliya that has a murderous gaze on her, he can only sigh as he didnʼt have any other choice, ”Come with me, Liliya. The others stay here and do not move from your spot”

Hearing this, Liliya was confused but she decided to follow Rex.

While following Rex heading to the backyard, she canʼt help but glance back and whisper, ”Thereʼs a Supernatural amongst them, which of them do you think is the imposter? I bet itʼs either the twins or the guy that also joins with the twins”

”Itʼs not them, donʼt worry”, Rex replied nonchalantly.

This makes Liliya looks at him in confusion but Rex escorts her to the house where Ryze was in, he opens the door and lets her in before he finally sighs, ”I have a confession to make”

”Meet Ryze, heʼs the reason why the black candle light up”, Rex added.

Liliya looks at Ryze who is unconscious and attached to an oxygen mask, she frowns upon seeing this and glances at Rex with a confused expression waiting for an explanation, ”Long story short, this kid becomes a Supernatural...”

A moment later,

Rex leans on the wall while Liliya is sitting by the edge of the bed.

In the last five minutes or so he has already told Liliya that Ryze has turned into a Heavenly Dragonman from absorbing Zaddass, one of the Heavenly Dragons. Although itʼs true, Rex lied about the oxygen mask saying that it will suppress Ryze until he can find a cure for him.

”Poor kid... so thatʼs why the black candle lights up like that”, Liliya mutters pitying Ryze.

Although Rex doesnʼt want to tell anyone about Ryzeʼs condition lest the information leak out, he was forced to do this as he didnʼt expect Prof. K is giving him the prototype of the Supernatural Radar smaller version.

Even though his expression is stoic, Rex is cursing himself inside his head.

ʼI shouldʼve scanned the item inside with the system...ʼ

Standing back up, Liliya then turns and faces Rex, ”Leave the explanation to me, and donʼt worry the others will not know about this, just leave it to me...”

”Thank you, Liliya”

Moments later,

Liliya and the other black hands left the mansion after relying on the official date of their departure.

Rex watches them leave in a couple of cars before he heads back inside, he then calls for Kyran before a figure ripped through the shadow and came out, ”What do you need...?”, Kyran appears like a phantom and asks.

”Make contact with Hester Family, Itʼs about time I talk to them”
