The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 1084: Trouble for the Trusted Left Hand

Moments earlier, Ryze was surprised to see Kyran was awakened from his slumber.

He distinctively remembers that when he departed from Dargena City alongside the alliance army, Kyran was still in slumber. It was obvious that Kyran was not going to be participating in the big fight that would determine the course of the future.

But here Kyran was, reaching Brigitta and the Horsemen of Chaos.

Additionally, he was obviously stronger than before.

Judging from the fact that he was able to bypass the formations of the Human Army before managing to imprint a mark that weakened the opposing army—it was clear as day that he had gotten stronger.

Even in slumber, he was still improving rapidly.

Such was the competitive space around the Silverstar Pack, a leading force in the new era.

At the sight of this, Ryze felt his heart thumping rapidly.

Rex had used Kyran many times as an example for Ryze to aspire to become.

Despite the fact that Kyran was a little bit older than him—the two of them are undoubtedly still kids compared to the others. But even then—Kyran proved to be more mature than the people around his age should be.

Or at the very least, in Ryzeʼs eyes, he seemed reliable and mature.

As proof, Kyran was even able to stall the Executor and work together with Flunra perfectly.

It was true that Ryze took pride in managing to deliver a motivating speech and managing to take over the responsibility of leading the alliance army, but that feat paled in comparison to what Kyran was doing right now.

Unconsciously, Ryze wanted to stand out more than Kyran.

He wanted to show to the others, especially Rex, that he was also a key player in this fight.

Psshh...!

Responding to his prideful emotions, his draconic bloodline was stimulated.

Looking at Gistella being trapped in a cage made of Brigittaʼs power—Ryzeʼs face darkens.

A heavy, low vibrating growl escaped his mouth.

His eyes narrowed into draconic slits, locking onto the target that would make him stand out.

Determined to save Gistella from the enemyʼs grasp—he began to extract the power within his draconic heart, causing scales to thicken and his crimson fire to increase in temperature, even causing painful discomfort to those around him.

Even though he might not be the strongest, Ryze was also improving by the day.

He has been training recklessly hard, and that effort is not useless.

It hasnʼt been that long since he trained, but the training allows him to tap more of his power.

Transforming his body into his usual draconic form uses all of his power—which was around 30% of Zaddrass, Lord of Redʼs maximum power. Any more than that, the fire wouldʼve been too hot even for Ryze, himself.

But now, fueled with the will to prove himself, Ryze tested his very own limit.

Swoosh!

Albeit still not accustomed to being a Heavenly Dragonman, he decided to embrace his other side fully for this moment. His form began to grow bigger, which goes along with his draconic wings that became more robust and spread wider.

Only when his entire body was drowned in his crimson fire did Ryze raise his slitted gaze.

ROAR!!

Swoosh!

Cracking the ground beneath him, Ryze lunged at Brigitta fiercely.

Searching for ways to deactivate the slave marks induced by Kyran—mainly trying to force it to deactivate using her arcane corrupted mana—Brigitta was occupied, not expecting that a ferocious dragon was heading towards her.

However, one of the Horsemen of Chaos noticed it and warned her almost instantly.

Only then that Brigittaʼs eyes widen as she pivoted around.

Finding that Ryze was reaching out his claws towards her, Brigitta raised her longsword with the intention of blocking the charge. She also managed to conjure one defensive spell which summoned an aegis made from a mix of spirit energy and arcane mana.

It was a Pneuma Spell, a defensive Pneuma Spell.

Crash!

As time dilated, Brigitta sucked in a cold breath when she saw the aegis shatter.

Even though she was confident in her defensive Pneuma Spell, it couldnʼt resist Ryzeʼs might as the aegis shattered into a million fragments of energy. Not even reducing the momentum, at least not substantially, Ryze pressed on.

Clang!

Just like that, Brigitta had her longsword fly into the air and stabbed the ground behind her.

It got knocked from the firm grip of her hands.

ʼMy longsword is made of pure silver, and heʼs unfazed?!ʼ Brigitta exclaimed in shock.

She could see that Ryzeʼs draconic claws crackling with heat, not from his own flames—from other sources instead. He was influenced by the pure silver, but even then, Ryze showed not a single sign of relenting.

Despite the pain and poison from the pure silver, he pressed on with his willpower only.

Backflipping back to dodge a swipe, Brigitta charged back at him.

Boom!

Not wanting to lose out on Ryzeʼs aggression, she locked hands with him in a power struggle.

”Iʼll be gracious since youʼre still a kid” Brigitta taunted—resisting Ryzeʼs monstrous strength firmly. ”Consider joining me one more time before itʼs too late for you. Despite the forces you have rallied to help Rex, he would not win. Our victory is still imminent. If I were you, Iʼd make the smartest decision to change sides while I still can”

Despite knowing that Ryze would not accept, she still extended an offer.

Not for his own good, but to mock him instead.

Brigitta still believed that the ancient power would prevail against the Supernatural forces.

Since the ancient humans managed to domesticate the Supernatural races—which included their Origins, she firmly believed that the Executor could not lose. Even against someone like Rex, he would still win.

After all, the Executor must have methods to reverse the tide.

Upon hearing this blatant insult, Ryze grimaced, his expression twisted into sheer anger.

Roar!!!

Replying with a defiant roar, the kid once again made his stand clear.

On the other hand, Brigitta casts him a ridiculing smile, ”Suit yourself then, lʼll end you now”

Almost instantly, she activated her Gladiator Form once again.

Ryze marvels at Brigittaʼs rapid transformation—her form suddenly encased in silver armor from head to toe, while her head was covered by a pristine white hood. Even her form was turning translucent, becoming a green astral being.

Psshh!!

As she turned into her Gladiator Form, Ryzeʼs hands sizzled even harder.

Since her form was merged with pure silver, her entire body became anti-Supernaturals.

Even though Ryze was covered by his thick scales, the pain tore through—into his nerves.

It was only then that she exerted more force, pushing Ryze back.

Despite his power that was pushed to the limit, Brigitta was still able to push him back, her small frame surprisingly packed immense strength—all due to the corrupted mana she had, propelling her into new heights.

Bit by bit, Ryzeʼs hulking body was forced to take a step back.

On top of that, his hands were slowly being twisted down as Brigitta exerted more force.

Such a sight was shocking considering the disparity in their size.

However, Ryze was not going to back down, biting down his sharp fangs with determination.

Focusing on his draconic heart for a fleeting moment, he draws more power from the core of his being and resists Brigittaʼs formidable strength with everything he has. The deep crimson flames that cloaked his entire body intensified as even his scales were heating up painfully.

”What...?” Brigitta uttered in shock when she couldnʼt budge Ryze once again.

Just then, her eyes darted to her side.

As if Lady Luck was mocking her right now, she saw three familiar figures heading her way.

It was Adhara, Evelyn, and Calidora.

Brigitta snapped her neck over her shoulder to look at Gistella in the cage, knowing that the three were definitely coming here to free Gistella and bring her to safety. She couldnʼt allow them to succeed.

Glancing to the other side, the Horsemen of Chaos could be seen trapped in battles.

Two of them were greatly weakened by the slave mark.

Due to that very reason, they were trapped fending off the Supernatural Kings and Queens.

None of them couldnʼt be bothered to protect Gistella from being taken away.

It was clear that Brigitta was the only one who could intercept Adhara, Evelyn, and Calidora from advancing further. However, in order to do that, she needed to quickly take care of the dragon before her that was not going to let her go no matter what.

Looking back into Ryzeʼs flaming eyes, Brigitta could only clench her jaw, troubled.

ʼI can see it through his eyes, the only way I could stop him is to kill him, and killing him would not be easyʼ She pondered, realizing that she couldnʼt escape Ryzeʼs focus no matter what—thereʼs simply no way that Ryze is going to let her go.

Just then, Brigittaʼs eyes fixated on his muscular arms.

She could see his deep crimson flames crawling on his arms, heading towards his hands.

Looking at this, a frown crept into her countenance.

Contrary to her, Ryze was looking at her with profound intensity, ”Donʼt treat me like a kid...”

Upon hearing this—Brigitta could only click her tongue in displeasure and tried to withdraw her hands, knowing full well what Ryze was aiming for. But, to her astonishment, she found herself hitting face-first into another problem as she was unable to break free.

Regardless of how hard she tried to pull her hands back, she couldnʼt.

Her hands were tightly gripped by Ryzeʼs iron hands.

”Especially since Iʼm a dragon,” Ryze added before he controlled his flames toward Brigitta.

Swoosh!!

”Arrghkk!”

As the flame grazed the tip of Brigittaʼs fingers, a mere ember at first, it swiftly erupted into a blazing inferno—engulfing her in searing agony within moments, prompting a pained grunt to escape her lips.

Even her Gladiator Form couldnʼt resist fully Ryzeʼs absolute flames.

”Iʼll make sure you regret doing it,” Ryze whispered again.

One fatal mistake was made as Brigitta—infatuated by her new corrupted wind elements—forgot that she was fighting someone capable of controlling fire, absolute fire nevertheless which was a natural counter to her.

Her corruption made her wind elements stronger, but it was still wind in nature.

It takes only a flicker of fire to make her own elements betray her.

Not wasting the opportunity from Brigittaʼs carelessness, Ryze unfurled his wings and lifted her up moderately high. With a powerful shove, he drove his horns forward—delivering one resounding head-butt that sent Brigitta hurtling towards the earth.

A crater was created from the formidable impact.

Showing no mercy towards Brigitta, fueled by the anger from her ridicule—Ryze drowned her entire form with his fire breath. He did it so quickly that Brigitta was late to react, and she got scorched asunder by the flames.

Her scream of pain resounded as she propelled herself outside with a blast of wind.

Emerging from the flames, Brigittaʼs condition was unsightly.

But despite the damage she endured, the chaos energy began a rapid regeneration process, quickly mending her wounds. Paying no heed to Ryze looming behind her—Brigitta fixed her gaze ahead and propelled herself forward with a blast of wind.

She made a quick dash towards her pressing targets.

Swoosh!

Meanwhile, Adhara saw her advancement towards them and quickly moved to intercept.

Activating her Blood Moon Herald Mark, she charged straight at Brigitta.

Boom!

A powerful explosion was created from their collision, and it was obvious that Adhara lost in terms of power to Brigitta as she got pushed back. But then out of nowhere—she chanted a spell that sent danger signals to Brigitta.

Seeing a fiery roundhouse kick, Brigitta raised her arms to block the attack in time.

But this exchange gave Calidora the time to close into Gistella.

However, leveraging on her corrupted wind elements, Brigitta moves even faster and reaches Calidora in the blink of an eye. Her fist hurtled towards Calidora, only to be met by the sturdy barrier of Calidoraʼs crossed arms.

Additionally, Gistella also helped Calidora, creating a protective shield for the attack.

Even though she was trapped, she could still help the fight.

In quick succession, Brigitta went for another punch but she made eye contact with Calidora.

Swish!

A sudden daze infiltrated her mind when she gazed into Calidoraʼs eyes.

Just when she recovered from the daze—Brigitta caught sight of Adhara managing to reach Gistellaʼs cage and kicked it in the Supernatural Armyʼs direction. She was smiling at Brigitta as she did this.

Under natural chemistry, Adhara and Calidora perfectly worked together in this exchange.

Easily, the two make a fool of Brigittaʼs attempt to stop them.
