The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 871: Unaware

It was such an unexpected surprise that the situation had turned like this.

The Executor was smiling from ear to ear while looking at Gistella in interest, he was thinking of using her as a backup plan but maybe if he played it right, he would be able to make some changes in his main plan.

Aside from Rex, there are other things he needs to deal with. Finishing this quicker is better.

Of course, that doesnʼt mean he wouldnʼt make it painless for Rex.

”I know that the only thing you wanted is to kill Rex, but I canʼt have you do that. So instead, Iʼll let you strip him from his power in any way you wanted. If you accept that term, then we can go on with this deal”

”Marvelous. I was told that you are the most timid, but that doesnʼt seem to be the case in my opinion” the Executor mused playfully, enjoying the moment. ”Calidora Blodirra... Is she the descendant of the coward Blodirra Family?

”Yes, I want her life in exchange for helping you strip Rexʼs powers”

”Hoo~ I thought you Werewolves are about family. What happened to that solidarity?”

Upon hearing this, Gistellaʼs expression darkens once again.

Judging from her expression alone the Executor could already sense an air of insecurity and hatred that she has against Calidora, it was quite thick for it to be an ordinary bad blood. There must be an internal conflict between them, ”She awakened the Eyes of Terror and has been pestering Rex ever since, and that is reason enough to get rid of her”

Turning around with the same smile, the Executor went and sit on the stairs playfully.

It has become clear now for the Executor as to why Gistella is really threatened by Calidoraʼs presence. Having the Eyes of Terror means she has an absolute obsession with her other part, which in this case is Rex, meaning that she would do anything to make Rex hers and hers alone.

Other people that Rex care about must be eliminated.

Calidora would do anything to make Rex dependent on her alone in this world and the next.

”Hmmm... what exactly is my merit in this, Gistella? If youʼre only offering to assist me take him down, then I am pretty much capable of doing that. I donʼt need your help, I will always win in the end”

”Really...? Then you must know that heʼs aware of your plans, considering he has the Witch”

Listening to this, the Executor frowns as he has pondered about that.

The Executor struggled to steady his expression when he heard that, his mouth is twitching out of anger as Gistella seems to be looking down on him. ʼDoes he gain clues from the System...? No, he mustʼve somehow found out about my meeting with the Witch. I still canʼt believe she sides with himʼ

ʼOr maybe not now...? Her pets were treated harshly by that Vampireʼ he thought dubiously.

Earlier, he saw the clear footage of the incident in Emham Forest.

Dealkandrax and the insectoid cursed creature were there and were also being leashed by the Vampire, treated like mere insects as the Vampire forced them to fight the Awakened like literal slaves to use.

At that time, the Executor doesnʼt know who the Vampire was. But now he has a guess.

It must be Calidora with the power of the Eyes of Terror.

Maybe now, the Witch started to regret working together with Rex.

Considering that those two were her children, that kind of treatment is unacceptable.

”Itʼs a mutually beneficial deal for you and me. Rexʼs soul has been battered and bruised from losing his parents, one more setback and he will be completely broken. Iʼll help you do that in exchange for one measly Vampire life. I couldnʼt kill her because I donʼt want Rex to see me from a bad view”

”Mutually beneficial...?”

Upon saying that, a fierce glint suddenly appeared in the Executorʼs eyes.

A hint of displeasure can be heard in his voice, it seems he was indignant with what Gistella said. Standing up slowly with his menacing shark eyes keeping strong eye contact with Gistella, chaos element started pushing through his skin once again.

The Executor towers over her with unbelievable might.

Stepping forward a couple of times, the Executor reaches before her and looks down at her.

Itʼs a terrifying sight to be looked down on by the Executor.

Despite her fair share of terrifying moments in her life, Gistella could feel fear in this moment.

”Maybe I could use you in my small fight against the Royal Black Prince, Gistella. But I donʼt think you understand your position. We are not equal here... A deal with me should be overwhelmingly beneficial for me, not equal in benefit” the Executor said grimly.

His chin was lifted up in arrogance.

In the next second, he suddenly grabbed Gistellaʼs face and lifted her from the ground.

Not struggling at the very least, the Executor tilted his head savagely, ”I am the absolute power in this world, I am at the very top, and I can see through everything. Weʼll see if what you have been saying is true or a simple lie. Maybe youʼre sent here by Rex to infiltrate me instead of making a deal”

”After I confirm that, then Iʼll tell you the change of our deal...” he added gratingly.

Just before Gistella could defend herself, a streak of chaos element penetrated her head.

Upon feeling that, her entire body got affected by the chaos element.

Following that, she could feel the insides of her body started throbbing. Like tree roots crawling underneath her skin, the chaos energy started spreading from her forehead down toward her entire body.

It was painful, but Gistella couldnʼt blink her eyes much less scream to alleviate the pain.

She was completely and utterly paralyzed.

”Chaos element is uncontrollable and unpredictable, it could manipulate anything it touches and turns it into something else or does something entirely different. But us Executors are blessed with the absolute link to the Chaos element by the Supreme One. We gained the ability to predict and control the unpredictable and uncontrollable”

”Through that, I can use the Chaos element to what I desire. Such as probing your soul...”

While the Executor manipulated his chaos element, Gistella felt exposed.

A cold sensation can be felt directly by her soul.

Every dark secret inside her heart that was hidden deeply was forcibly exposed for anybody to see, she was completely defenseless under this relentless onslaught. I was akin as if her own soul betray her and spill everything that she knows without restraint.

In a moment her eyes rolled back and she lost consciousness, succumbing to the pain.

An unknown amount of time passes.

Gistella slowly opens her eyes before blinking a couple of times to adjust to the surroundings, she then finds herself still in the throne room with the Executor already sitting on the throne with his legs crossed overbearingly.

Supporting his cheek on his fist, he smiled while looking at Gistella.

Finding that the Executor is smiling at her eerily, she felt a sense of dread inside of her.

Under the choking silence and also the feeling of uncertainty as to what the Executor learned from probing her mind and soul, beads of cold sweat started to drizzle down the side of Gistellaʼs face.

But it was then, the Executor opens his mouth, ”Iʼll tell you the change of deal now...”

”Stripping the Royal Black Prince from his powers is not quite overwhelmingly favorable for me, I need more certain assurance than that. So I want you to also break his spirit and mind to the point of no return. As long as you agree with that, then Iʼll easily kill Calidora for you” he added, offering his own terms of the deal.

”Also, thereʼs also one more thing. I also want his System...”

Having already stepped beyond to return, Gistella could only nod her head in agreement.

Gaining yet another assurance of his victory, the Executorʼs smile blooms even wider, and it turns into an evil smile as his eyes flashed excitedly, ʼIʼm going to enjoy breaking every single Silverstar Pack member. Do you really think I will let him off with just that? No... it will be way worst, none of you will surviveʼ

Meanwhile, some time passed again.

Evelyn is walking through the obsolete and quiet castle alone in the middle of the night, she has just cleaned herself and has been pondering about the same matters over and over again. It doesnʼt seem to want to leave her mind.

But she has received news that the war has started.

High-rank Supernatural races have been launching their fierce attacks on the Great Barricade, giving the forces of humanity a hard time. It has been relentless, a battle of endurance between the two sides.

Due to the strengthened anatomy of the older generations, killing them was harder.

Thanks to the First Breath, humanity has an advantage as energy attacks were suppressed heavily. Even then, their enhanced bullets that could take down even sixth-rank entities only ricocheted through the natural armors that the high-rank Supernatural races possess.

Explosives attacks were also only capable of sending them crashing away.

It was only thanks to the protective barrier that protected the Great Barricade that these high-rank Supernatural races were not able to overwhelm humanity, the durability they have were simply impeccable.

Evelyn knows this from the Dark Elves that has scouts placed on the border.

Keeping up to date with the progression of the war is crucial in moments like these. Since Rex hasnʼt regained back his consciousness yet, the only one that could receive the report was either Evelyn or Flunra.

Flunra has already come back, and he has been busy ever since.

Most of the city fortification has been handled by Rex, making Dargena City ready for a sudden attack from anyone. But in terms of individual prowess, the city is still severely lacking compared to even the Dark Elves.

Since that is the weakest part of the city, Flunra decided to use his ancient runes.

With his newfound knowledge thanks to the books given by Rex, he could make ancient runes that are self-reliant, not needing his own energy to activate. It helped him to engrave ancient runes on others.

Upon reaching the west part, Evelyn finds herself in some sort of spacious space.

It seems to be a place used for training or a duel.

Although the Silverstar Pack has been living for quite some time in this castle, there are some places that they didnʼt use simply because it hasnʼt come to that point yet. One of them is this spacious space.

But as she stepped inside, she frowns when she finds a surprising sight.

”What happened here...?”

Evelyn still remembers clearly that none of the others went even near this place. Most of the time, the others only pass through this place and went to their own bed chambers or spend most of their time in the courtyard.

Despite thatʼs what she remembered, the condition of the spacious space proves her otherwise.

Compared to unused, this spacious space seems to be recently used.

Walking to the edge to get a better view of the place to get a better view, Evelyn saw that the entire place was riddled with scars of battles, the scent of burning, and cracked parts that clearly cues left behind from a fierce battle.

It was weird because she didnʼt know or sense anything about this.

”Did I stay too long inside the bed chamber to tend to Rex? How come I donʼt know this?”

Jumping down to the place that was trashed by the vicious battle, Evelyn kneels to the ground and touches a burnt spot on the ground. ”Hmmm... Adharaʼs mana lingers here, and the other one is also familiar”

”Is she training here? Maybe...” she added in confusion.

But while she was inspecting the place, Naela came from the gate behind her and saw her inspecting the place in confusion, ”Evelyn...? What are you doing there alone? I havenʼt seen you in a while, you havenʼt left the bed chamber and Iʼm starting to get worried”

”Oh, Naela? Itʼs nothing really” Evelyn replied with a smile and went towards her.

Looking back at the scarred place, she then couldnʼt help but ask.

”Did someone use this room recently?”

”You didnʼt know? Adhara and Gistella fought here a couple of days ago. Itʼs so cool to see the two of them fight, both are very strong! Itʼs a shame that you didnʼt get to see it, Evelyn”

”Adhara and Gistella did...?”

”Yes, I thought they were training but I heard Flunra said that it was a hierarchy duel”

”What..? Does that mean Gistella wanted the first place? But for what? Am I unaware of something?”
