The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 1093: Forced Inside the Creek

Having no other choice, the Ice and Snow Princess came to help in this detrimental battle.

She could easily shatter the walls of chaos monsters with her icy powers, freezing the crowd of monsters and preventing them from reinforcing the shattered walls. It allowed some of the Demons who quickly reacted to get inside and ran amok.

Despite being unable to kill the Human Army, they could at least stop their advancement.

It would be extremely hard to isolate some and hostage them so that they couldnʼt return to the Human Army—with the walls of chaos monsters on either side, but the Demons who got inside were still able to slow them down immensely.

At the very least, the Executor would not have his way easily.

No matter what he needed the Human Army from, they would make sure he couldnʼt.

But when the walls were breached, the chaos monsters became more frantic—moving wildly, making the battle near the breached walls more intense. Responding to the demand from the Executor sternly, these chaos monsters would do anything to protect the Human Army.

Each of them became stronger as they responded quickly to the crisis.

Like a hive-mind, they were able to locate threatened sectors and communicate it flawlessly.

Such an efficient chemistry couldnʼt be achieved by a normal army.

One who was surprised the most was the Archdemon of Sloth, the bear Demon who realized the small domain he created was rendered ineffective. Aware of how these chaos monstersʼs power worked, he quickly opted to borrow strength from the Origin.

Tapping into the core of the Sin of Sloth, he dilated time itself, slowing the enemies acutely.

It was working wonderfully.

Under the time dilation, the chaos monsters move incredibly slowly, and so does their power.

However, that wasnʼt the case anymore.

As the threat of the Demons reaching the Human Army grew—the chaos monsters began to ooze with more chaos energy, potent enough to disrupt the Archdemon of Slothʼs influence, breaking free from the distorted flow of time.

Not to mention, the formidable ice, freezing the chaos monsters was rapidly melting.

Each of their chaos energy seethed and melted the ice.

”Quite troublesome creatures we have... seems like stopping them would not be easy”

Looking at the situation below from above—the Ice and Snow Princess squinted her eyes as the chaos monsters proved to be way more resilient than she initially thought. However, the initial attack was only foreplay.

She was only assessing what she was dealing with.

Hailing from the ancient era, she was bound to know a method or two for these monsters.

”Prevent their army to follow the Executor into the creek,” Rex commanded sternly.

Scanning the battlefield one last time before trailing the Executor—Rex found that there were no further concerns, his forces should be fine. ”Be careful against that woman. Sheʼs evolved into one of the strongest. Apart from her, you should be fine,”

Rex pointed at Brigitta who seemed to be concerned by the breach.

If it kept on going his way, then thereʼs no doubt that Brigitta would turn around and help.

Upon hearing this, the Ice and Snow Princess sneered.

”Even against her, I should be fine,” She rebutted. ”You are underestimating me too much,”

Giving her a subtle nod as it was good that she had confidence in herself—Rex quickly made a dash towards the creek, catching up to the Executor who was now nearing the entrance. It was time for the next phase.

Even though it hasnʼt gone exactly as planned, Rex would need to improvise.

Swoosh!

Like a comet, Rex soared through the sky and propelled himself towards the creek.

On the other hand, the Ice and Snow Princess began to utilize her moonlight energy which instantly dropped the temperature of the battlefield into a bone-chilling cold. Just like Rex, she too has a dome blessed by Iseldra, the Lunirich Goddess of Ice and Snow Moon.

Gracefully, her entire form became blindingly bright with ivory moonlight energy.

”Bastion of the Ice Empress Dome-!”

Unleashing a piercing battle cry, her icy moonlight energy expanded rapidly—enveloping the entire battlefield in the chilling embrace of the Ice Realm. Her aura instantly spiked—causing the enemies to feel their bodies stiffen and their energy responses slow to a crawl.

However, those who were deemed friendly were not affected by this domain.

Meanwhile, the Executor was still leading the charge.

Narrowing his eyes, his body began to sparkle with the energy from the totem—compacting his own body stronger. He also channeled the chaos energy with deliberate focus—layering it on top of the energy from the totem, priming himself for what lay ahead.

Even though there was nothing in front that could stop him, he seemed to be preparing.

Grunting fiercely, he harnessed both energies, honing them to a razorʼs edge at his forefront before suddenly, he slammed against something with a deafening boom. As it turns out, the Dead Manʼs Creek has an invisible barrier on the entrance.

It came as a shock for those behind him, and also the onlookers.

Rex in particular was surprised.

He was wondering why the Executor seemed to be honing his own energy as he sprinted.

At first, Rex thought that the Executor was preparing himself for the terrifying Passues that were going to attack him the moment he stepped into the Dead Manʼs Creek. But turns out, he was preparing for the invisible barrier, blocking his way instead.

Looking at the flickering barrier, Rex frowned.

Since the Shapeshifters were inside, the barrier mustʼve been made to stop Humans only.

Moments ago before the fight began, the Shapeshifters could enter the creek smoothly.

Also—back when Rex joined the meeting at the Symposium with the newly awakened Elders of the Supernaturals, he encountered no such thing as a barrier. It became quite apparent to tell that the barrier was specifically made to impede the ingress of humans.

Particularly, Ancient Humans such as the Executor himself.

As Rex thought of that, his eyes dilated seeing a glowing object in the Executorʼs hand.

In addition to that, the energy coming from it was out of this world.

Despite the Executor swiftly concealing it, the brief employment of this object just before his collision with the barrier emanated an unmistakable and potent energy—richer than anything Rex had ever sensed before.

Just the whiff of it alone blares excitement into Rexʼs eyes as he knows exactly what that is.

Itʼs the Gem!

Shifting his eyes a mile behind the Executor, he could see the Witch was flying quickly.

On top of that, he could also tell that the Witch noticed the energy.

Crack!

In the wake of the powerful crash, the barrier exhibited visible vertical cracks.

A couple of seconds later, the entirety of the barrier shattered into a million fragments.

Glancing over his shoulders, the Executor could see the state of the battlefield didnʼt lean to his side at all. Despite already summoning the chaos monsters to help shift the tide of war— the powerful dome from the Ice and Snow Princess made the attack from Rexʼs forces even stronger.

ʼAnother pest?! Thereʼs no end to these feeble creatures!ʼ the Executor complained angrily.

He was glaring at the Ice and Snow Princess.

On top of that, almost half of the Human Army was blocked by the Demons and Vampires.

Despite none of them being dead, they werenʼt going to reach the creek.

Upon seeing the situation—the Executor could only grind his teeth in utter anger—everything would fall apart for him if the Human Army was destroyed. He never intended the battle to go on this fiercely, but the Royal Black Prince is too resilient to die.

In a fit of anger, the Executor extended his hand outward and kept his focus on the princess.

Suddenly, the skin around his eyes turned dark purple.

”Arcane Spell- Kahkk!” Casting another powerful spell, the Executor suddenly covered his own mouth with his hand as blood gushed out. His body beginning to reach its limit, going more than this would be harmful for him, but he couldnʼt afford to lose. ”Painwave Reach!”

Swoosh!

More blood gushed out of his mouth as he cast that spell.

However, he managed to propel a very light beam of chaos energy towards the princess.

Unaware of the impending spell, the princess was caught by it.

As she was dealing with the walls of chaos monsters, breaching them and widening the hole she managed to create more and more, her body suddenly became stiff and the veins across her entire form bulged.

She could see chaos energy infiltrating her body, causing her immense pain in a flash.

Despite her graceful manner, she screamed in pain at the crippling pain.

Focusing entirely on the Ice and Snow Princess, aiming to incapacitate her from helping Rexʼs forces, the Executor twisted his hand and amplified the pain the princess felt. But he stopped when he saw a figure descending towards him.

Capitalizing on the full extent of his power, Rex pierced the wind and tackled the Executor.

Bam!

Both of them were hurtled into the Dead Manʼs Creek.

Even though they were being hurtled into the creek, they were still fighting ferociously, vying to gain the upper hand and vie dominance with everything they could think of before the two of them crashed onto hard rocks, and screeched through the shallow water stream.

Rolling through the wetness, the two eventually came to an abrupt stop at the same time.

Rex and the Executor were prone against the water.

However, both of them were locking eyes with each other, a fiery will behind their gazes.

In a slow and careful movement, the two slowly pushed themselves up while still maintaining eye contact until they were fully standing. Unhealed scars could be seen across their bodies—signifying that both were beginning to fatigue.

Despite being the strongest, endurance was their downfall during the First Breath.

As the two stood against each other, Rex coughed out blood.

In that moment of daze, the Executor scanned his eyes around, gritting his teeth as he was already inside the creek already, ʼI need to get out of here—I need John and those pathetic lesser beings that called themselves Humans lest I met with the matriarchʼ

Even though he tried hard to cover his concern, it was sniffed by Rex instantly.

”Do you seek death, Executor?” Rex suddenly asked, slowly straightening his back. ”Coming here when you still have me to deal with, you donʼt actually think that you stand a chance of fighting both me and the matriarch, did you?”

”Donʼt act arrogant, animal! Iʼm merely getting started!” the Executor cursed angrily.

Being looked down on by Rex is a blow to his ego.

”Seeing you this desperate to reach the Symposium instead of retreating for a better fight in the future, is there a reason for your stubbornness?” Rex asked—trying to comprehend what the Executor was thinking. ”Is it pride? Anger? No... Is it because of that shiny gem you used earlier?”

Upon hearing this, the Executorʼs frown deepened as he clicked his tongue lightly.

Catching this response, Rexʼs smile widens.

”Ah, so itʼs because of that shiny gem? Let me guess, does it have a time limit or a cooldown period after being activated once?” He asked with a teasing tone. ”Is that why you could not retreat even though you are clearly losing this battle?”

Irked by the way Rex was talking to him, the Executorʼs countenance twitched.

His face became hideous out of sheer anger.

But before the Executor could answer, a loud buzzing sound infiltrated their hearing followed by loud—clicking footsteps approaching their location. It was only then that countless steely heads of creatures began to appear and surrounded them from all sides.

Nothing aside from the Passues was inside the depth of this creek.

So these creatures that seemed to be made of pure steel were none other than the Passues.

”Announce your loss, Executor, itʼs for your own good” Rex smirked evilly.

However, upon hearing this, the Executor hangs his head low.

It was quite clear that the fight was not favorable for him, and he would lose if this kept up.

Go on... Announce your loss, and give me back my System.

Just as Rex thought that the Executor would yield, a soft mumble pierced his ears.

”Announce what...?” the Executorʼs words slipped from his lips like a very venomous whisper, barely audible to mortal ears, but Rex caught every syllable with chilling clarity. As he spoke, his form began to gradually shimmer with an ominous purple radiance. ”Losing...? Me?”

His voice dripped with incredulity and simmering rage.

Following that, the Executor raised his visage of madness and stared directly at Rex.

”Do you even know who youʼre talking to?! I am the Fifthborn, and I know no defeat!!”

”My presence is and will always be, PURE!!”
