The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 539: Itʼs Not Going to End the Same

Even though there are more strainful nights that he experienced in his life, tonight was by far the most frustrating one as everything that he does gets completely negated or acts as if it was a joke by the person that shamble his entire plan.

Arnulf was completely overwhelmed by the sheer amount of surprise of this cursed night.

Itʼs a night of surprises after surprises that puts even a hardened veteran like him dizzy from the number of times he felt like his entire view of the world has been shattered, Rex seems like always a step in front of him.

Despite feeling that he was about to win, thereʼs always something that pushes him beyond.

Double King Mark and the Countess of the Dark Luniric are by far the greatest surprise of the night, but now something matching that happened to him. Arnulf looks down and finds Rexʼs claws managed to reach him even though heʼs inside the Twilight Dimension.

ʼH-How could this be possible?! Even the ancient humans need special methods to reach the Twilight Dimension!ʼ

Rexʼs claws are imbued with the new kingly energy from the King Mark he just achieved tears through the material dimension straight into the Twilight Dimension, he did it so easily that catches Arnulf off guard.

”Where are you going? As a new candidate, itʼs pretty rude to run away from your Alpha...”

Glancing to the side as if he can clearly see Arnulf inside the Twilight Dimension with a mocking smile, Arnulf felt his throat dry as he already did everything he can to escape the depressing situation. Everything he can think off has already been tried on him.

In addition to that, Rexʼs power is already on a whole new level.

Even though he still has some ability to hurt Rex since he still has the bloodline of a Prince, Arnulf canʼt even move his body under the immense pressure that presses him down like being under a very heavy waterfall.

With one swift movement, Rex pulls Arnulf out of the Twilight Zone and threw him to the side.

Rolling on the ground with a weakened body, Arnulf tries to stand up but his entire body is trembling. Rex puts a focus on his overbearing aura on Arnulf immobilizing him completely, he was not going to let him get away.

Knowing that he still has some things to do, Rex approaches and grabs Arnulfʼs neck.

Although Arnulf is deserving of death, his knowledge is too precious to be passed. Picking the rune of compliance and weakened will, Rex intends to bran Arnulf so that he can proceed to the next process to make Arnulf one of his pack members.

One slot left for the Silverstar Pack, itʼs saved by Rex specifically for something like this.

But when he was about to brand Arnulf on the nape, another rune came out of Arnulfʼs body that glows with powerful energy. With nothing but a glance, he knows what Arnulf is trying to do knowing that he canʼt get out of this situation.

Since he touches Arnulf, the system scanned Arnulfʼs body and finds this rune.

Itʼs an ancient rune carved specifically during the birth of the Werewolf. The rune will induce instant death to the Werewolf whenever itʼs deemed necessary rather than being alive, itʼs a powerful rune made by the Ancient Shamans of the Werewolf Race.

From the systemʼs notification alone, itʼs clear that Arnulf wanted to kill himself.

Compared to living his life in a hellish endless torment by serving the Silverstar Pack, Arnulf rather dies right now and be spared from that kind of life. It shows just how much Arnulf resents the thought of being a member of the Silverstar Pack.

But Rex exposes a nasty grin as a whip of his kingly energy slapped the rune.

Arnulf widened his eyes in surprise once again finding the rune that came out of his chest got canceled and shattered by Rex, it looks unimpressive but that rune is fortified by the Ancient Shamans numerous times.

Itʼs an era of war where information is the highest degree of currency.

Knowing that the Origin of Werewolf directed the Ancient Werewolf Shamans to keep improving the quality of the Death Essential Rune so that it canʼt be negated or tampered with, but as if it was nothing Rex slapped it away.

Although Rex did so casually, he needed to buy an item from the shop that is quite expensive.

Cancelation Rune, itʼs another Ancient Rune that is sold in the systemʼs shop that costs 500,000 gold. Pretty expensive for a one-time rune but itʼs very effective, Rex is prepared to do anything to get rid of any problem that will hinder him from turning Arnulf.

”Nice try old Werewolf, but not good enough...”

After the soft whisper that penetrated Arnulfʼs ears, Rex straighten his back with a grin.

”P- Pheaks... khill me”

With his destroyed throat Arnulf can only mutter inaudible scrambling words asking for Rex to end him, but that was not on his agenda at all. No matter what, Arnulf will pay for everything that he has done by serving the Silverstar Pack.

”Brand!”

Meanwhile, dozens of miles away from where Rex currently is.

Despite the pain all over his body that keeps reminding him that half of his body has been crippled from that burst of energy before, Ruston kept running ignoring all the pain that he currently suffers. Itʼs his survival instincts that are keeping him going.

If he doesnʼt give it his all to running right now, he wonʼt live to see the next sunrise.

Ruston can feel a burning sensation from above as if the Dark Full Moon is an eye that is keeping track of him, itʼs an uncomfortable feeling that brought a crippling sensation that slowly reaches for his back the longer he stayed in human territory.

Knowing that their best chance to survive is to scatter, they did exactly that.

No conversation needs to be held as the three of them dashes in different directions to flee from Rex, but ever since that black shockwave Ruston feels like heʼs being watched. This feeling alone almost makes him feel like giving up.

But remembering the hatred Rex felt towards him, Ruston forces his body to move.

If he were to be caught by Rex then he will have a destiny that will be filled with pain and agony, something that heʼs willing to trade the pain heʼs feeling over getting that kind of bleak destiny. Ruston dashes through the place and picked up a sound.

Although itʼs still quite far, he picked up a sound that should be the sound of a crowd.

Shifting his eyes to the northwest from his position, Ruston exposes a devious smile as he changed direction and went to the sound that he picked up just now. It didnʼt take long for him to reach a grassland.

Despite the bad position, in the middle of the grassland lies what seems like a village.

With increasing desperation realizing that he canʼt reach the Great Barricade fast enough in his current state, Ruston decided to renew his plans especially when he heard the sound coming from this village. Farming is the main job of this village.

Outside of the villageʼs tall wooden wall, there are many sheds.

Inside those sheds are mutated animals that are relatively dormant and used to feed the villagers. Ruston looks at this as if he was a wolf looking at a crowd of sheep, but instead of sheep, his eyes are attracted to the farmers instead.

Amongst the farmers, one of the wipes the sweat from his forehead tiredly.

But while stabbing the shovel on the piles of feces, his eyes landed on a figure not far from the village. Squinting his eyes the farmer finds that the figure doesnʼt look human-like with furs covering its body.

Weirdly enough, half of its body is scorched leaving nothing but muscle tissues and flesh.

Upon realizing what the figure that just came out of the distance was, the farmer dropped his shovel as his expression drains from all colors. Pointing at the grotesque figure, the farmer stutters scrambling for words.

”Quickly finish shoveling, Iʼm tired already...”

Another farmer standing on the side mutters but is then attracted to the weird behavior of his friend.

Following the direction of where his friend pointed, the other farmer widened his eyes catching the same figure that is looking at them as if they are food. With one deep breath, the farmers then shouted, ”W-Werewolf!!”

”What?! Werewolf?!”

”Oh no, weʼre doomed!”

Just by mentioning that the farmers went into turmoil as chaos instantly ensued.

Without even waiting for another second or even trying to find where the said Werewolf is, the farmers immediately ran back to the entrance leaving behind what they were doing. It doesnʼt matter what they were doing, their lives come first.

Ruston saw this happening and instantly dashed at them at a lightning-fast speed.

Since his power is over the average of all beings that exists in this world, heʼs very fast despite half of his body being scorched by Rex. For normal people like these farmers, Ruston is an unstoppable force that is too much for them to handle.

From the state of the village, at most, they are a level 3 city.

Defensive turrets and other mechanisms to protect their cities, they donʼt really have them. Even the Awakened in this city that heard of the Werewolf are only a few, and the strongest amongst them is a fifth-rank Awakened.

Against such a powerful Werewolf like Ruston, they donʼt stand a chance.

Ruston reaches the Awakened in a blink of an eye, but before the Awakened can fire a spell they all got sliced in half. It was literally nothing, they all died from nothing but a slash. With the line of defense breached, Ruston barges into the village.

The tall and sturdy wooden wall got absolutely destroyed as Ruston went on a rampage.

Some of the villagers started running in chaos filling the night with screams of terror, but the unfortunate ones got clawed by Ruston rather easily. But then Rustonʼs eyes landed on a kid that is running into a house.

Despite the other villagers running, Ruston fixated his eyes on this pair of mother and son.

Knowing that she needs to save her son first from the hungry Werewolf that came out of nowhere, the mother pulled the kid into a house before closing the door behind her. The kid was frightened upon seeing Rustonʼs red eyes filled with bloodlust.

Itʼs only when the door is closed that Rustonʼs red eyes disappeared.

But despite it disappearing the fear was instilled into the kidʼs brain, it was his first time seeing such a monstrous creature that shows clearly its intention to tear him apart like nothing but livestock. The mother looks around the house quickly before laying her eyes on a wooden cabinet.

Without thinking much, the mother immediately puts the kid inside the wooden cabinet.

”Donʼt worry, youʼll be safe here. Mommy will not let anything hurts you, be a good boy and stay silent until all of this is over okay?”, the mother said dearly before closing the cabinet door and giving a kiss on the kidʼs head.

Out of nowhere,

BRAK!!

Ruston barges inside the house kicking the wooden door and sending it flying away penetrating through the other side of the house, he then stepped inside the house before sweeping his bloodthirsty eyes inside the room.

His eyes then landed on the mother standing with immense fear while holding a kitchen knife.

But the smell of fear coming from the cabinet can be sensed by Ruston clearly, and this made his mouth slowly turns into a grin. Fixating his eyes on the wooden cabinet, he can see the kidʼs eyes peeking through the gap of the cabinet.

It somewhat makes the grin on his face become even wider.

”Stay back you monster!! Donʼt come closer!”, the mother shouted holding the kitchen knife in front of her, sheʼs trying to put Rustonʼs attention towards her and away from the hiding kid inside the wooden cabinet.

Looking at the slightly familiar situation, Ruston laughs maniacally with crazed eyes.

”Little boy... Iʼm going to tear your mother up and eat her, youʼre going to enjoy the show like a good little boy you are from inside okay?”, Ruston said diabolically as his words manages to clench the hope of the mother in saving her only son.

The mother started tearing up with trembling hands realizing that she has failed.

Just when Ruston was about to do the deeds that he declared earlier, the kid inside the wooden cabinet suddenly went out before running to his mother. It catches the mother off guard as the kid grabs the kitchen knife out of his motherʼs hands.

Standing in front of his mother with the kitchen knife, the kid glares at Ruston.

”Donʼt hurt my mother!!”

”Hooh...?”

Despite the mother forcing him to go back inside the wooden cabinet or run away, the kid kept standing fearlessly in front of such a monstrous Werewolf. In front of an Alpha, the kid fearlessly tries to protect his mother.

Rustonʼs eyes flash fiercely intending to kill the both of them,

But then suddenly Ruston turns his body around sensing something, his eyes dilated seeing a black phantom flying towards him like a bullet. Without needing another look, Ruston instantly realized the black phantom.

It was the person that he was running from, and the appearance makes Rustonʼs heart skip a beat.

”RUSTON!!!”

CRASH!

Just like being hit by a cannon, Ruston got sent crashing away like a broken doll from being bodied by Rex dashing with a speed nearing the speed of light. He didnʼt stand a chance to block that attack.

After sending Ruston crashing away, the mother and kid yelped seeing yet another Werewolf.

Rex glances at the both of them before his expression turns grim, he glances at where Ruston was sent crashing into before his eyes turn murderous, ”Itʼs not going to end like me this time, you sick bastard!”
