The Invincible Full-Moon System

\'Just what do the files they have regarding Rex has to do with Lady Giana...?\', Kyran thought.

Not too long ago he saw Sebrof being angry with his secretary about some files that were stolen, he was sure that the files contain Rex\'s information. But no matter how much he tries to link the connection, he can\'t find the link between Lady Giana with the files.

Moreover, the fact that Sebrof got that angry because of the stolen files is still confusing to him.

After waiting on the side for a moment, a group of white-robed people came down from the Sky Temple escorted by the strong Awakened before the other Awakened, and military men restrained them.

Kyran looks at these people before he frowns, \'Hmm... I think I saw one of them fleeing\'

While he was following this very strong parade heading to the Sky Temple, he sensed a sharp aura that seems to be sneaking away. Kyran followed that aura for a bit and saw a man clad in the same outfit as these white-robed people.

Since he now saw the white-robed people, he conclude that that person is sneaking away.

Kyran then looks up to the Sky Temple where Sebrof and Lady Giana are right now, he wanted to listen to their conversation but he clicks his tongue finding that he can\'t eavesdrop on them since he can\'t really go there.

The formation below that leads to the Sky Temple is guarded, and there was no other way.

Having no other choice, Kyran decided to wait on the sideline of the street for Sebrof and the others to come down. But soon enough, Sebrof and Lady Giana came down alongside each other.

Even though he was not an expert in face-reading, it seems Lady Giana did something wrong.

Lady Giana is not wearing her usual proud and confident demeanor but wears a gloomy one instead, Kyran heard Sebrof instruct Vargas to go to the mansion but he decided to stay here and keep on listening since Rex is not in the mansion.

Vargas wouldn\'t be able to do what he was told with Rex still hasn\'t come back yet.

When Lady Giana was about to enter the car, she suddenly stopped and searched for someone called Zero, \'I\'ve heard that name before, I think it was the man that she converse with before. If I\'m not mistaken, his right eye is defective because of an injury\'

But just as he thought of that, his attention was pulled back to Lady Giana.

"Zero?! Where\'s Zero?!"

"W-We don\'t know, my lady. Zero left as soon as you went back to the temple", one of the White Wardens said meekly, he saw that Zero instantly jumps down after Lady Giana went into the Sky Temple.

Upon hearing this, Lady Giana unconsciously held her breath.

In the next second, she then instantly ran back to Sebrof that already gotten out of the car again, "We need to go to the Silverstar Family\'s mansion, right now!! We need to hurry before Zero makes things worst!"

"Slow down, tell me clearly. What\'s wrong?", Sebrof hold Giana\'s shoulders with a questioning look.

Lady Giana\'s expression has already turned pale, she was panicking as her eyes moved constantly with many bad thoughts inside her head, "Giana! What\'s Zero going to do?! Tell me clearly!", Sebrof asks again while shaking her body.

"I-I think he\'s going to aim for Rex\'s family..."

"For God\'s sake!"

Boom!

Without even wasting another second, Sebrof stormed into the sky in a hurry.

Not long after that Lady Giana also followed, flapping her wings toward the direction of the Silverstar Family\'s mansion leaving the other Awakened and military men stunned as it was very sudden.

On the side, Kyran heard all of this.

Snapping out of his daze, Kyran\'s expression turns pale, "Oh no!!"

Just like Lady Giana and Sebrof that stormed into the sky, Kyran also heads in the same direction exerting every ounce of his strength at running, \'D-Did that person that sneaked away went to the mansion?! Edward, hold on!!"

Swoosh!

~

Meanwhile, Silverstar Family\'s mansion.

Signs of the dawn sun have already exposed clearly starting to shoot rays of warmth to the entire world, but under the warmth of the sun a fight is currently still going on in sector 2 of Ramtawati City.

Edward landed a punch straight to the jaw using every ounce of his strength.

Anyone in his realm that got hit by that should find their jaws shattered, but the powerful and clean uppercut only manages to break Zero\'s skin and propels him upwards and back. Not even the bones in his face are broken from that.

Bam!

Following with a quick succession, he landed a nasty roundhouse kick right at Zero\'s face.

Zero glares at Edward before a kick came out of nowhere and hits him on the right side of his face, he was sent crashing to the ground outside of the mansion. But that level of damage doesn\'t put him down as he recovered almost instantly, standing up with his fierce eyes trained forward.

About ten meters away, Edward landed before the three women also landed behind him.

With their glowing grey eyes, the three women alongside their Spirit Shadows are still connected with Edward which brings his power into the pseudo-eighth-rank realm Awakened. The boost they brought helped Edward tremendously.

It\'s like having the strength of four people, 4 times the strength, mana, and spirit energy.

\'Hmm... he didn\'t react to that kick. Is the right side his blindspot?\', Edward thought with a frown.

Despite knowing that his movement was fast and fluid from the years of training in hand-to-hand combat, Edward is thinking realistically. He shouldn\'t be faster than an eighth-rank Awakened like Zero. Because of that, he suspected that the right side is Zero\'s blindspot.

Squinting his eyes, he finds that Zero\'s right eye is also glowing but not as brightly.

The flow of mana has some difficulties accessing the right eye and this alone shows that Zero\'s right eye is defective, probably due to an injury he suffered which made his eyesight very bad despite having superior strength.

Not long after that, Sentine landed on the side with his body recovering from the previous attack.

Upon getting hit by a light beam to the stomach, it tore a hole but that hole is slowly being regenerated by the dark fire. Through their mental links, Edward then said, \'We\'ll aim for the right side, it\'s his weak spot\'

[I know, I\'ve realized it already]

With a nod of his head, Edward then looks at Zero\'s murderous eyes.

"Give up and leave right now, my deal from before still stands. I will plead with Rex to not pursue this matter, you don\'t have to do this. I can see that you\'re not able to use your Gladiator Form due to exhaustion, keeping this up would just be worst and worst for you. Stand down and leave!"

For an eighth-rank Awakened to not revert to their Gladiator Form, it indicates that they can\'t.

With the Gladiator Form, Zero should be able to obliterate them easily, but he didn\'t use it which means that he has already used the Spirit Gladiator form sometime earlier and now is exhausted.

Unlike the ninth-rank realm Awakened, he doesn\'t have unlimited energy.

Going into the Gladiator Form is taxing for an eighth-rank Awakened as it puts a heavy strain on their bodies, and thus they aren\'t able to use it occasionally like Rex turning into his Werewolf form. They need to use it carefully and tactfully.

Although it was unlikely for him to agree, Edward needs to persuade Zero to back away.

But upon hearing this, Zero\'s expression darkens.

\'Everyone around him is also abnormally strong, being a Werewolf is enough but they are even talented as an Awakened. How is that fair?! And more importantly, why is everyone asking for his damn forgiveness?!\'

Instead of standing down, Zero\'s light mana becomes even more rampant.

BOOM!

"Rex can go to hell! I\'ll definitely capture you all and tilt the situation back to Lady Giana\'s advantage!!", Zero roared like a maniac before turning into a streak of light, his movement got even faster.

Despite being on full alert, Edward finds that he almost can\'t keep up with Zero\'s movement.

With the little split second he had to react to Zero\'s attack, Edward cloaked his fist with burning dark fire before he sent a jab aiming for Zero\'s chin. But his eyes widened when he saw that his fist went through Zero\'s face.

Cracking a grin, Zero creates a sword made of light before swinging it in a crescent manner.

Slash!

Edward\'s defensive capability was exposed in full display as he bent his body back to dodge the glistering sword, his reaction is insane for a human but he almost got caught, \'Very fast! I can\'t defend a full brunt from a sword even with the Unbreakable Body art. Sentine!\'

Upon hearing Edward\'s calling, Sentine throws the shield in its hand to Edward.

Arriving in the nick of time, Edward positioned the shield above him to block a heavy slash from above. Every muscle in his legs contracted to anticipate the power slash, they instinctively knew that it was going to be a strong one.

"RAARGHH!!", Zero shouted before swinging down the sword with both of his hands.

CLANG!!

"Haaahkk!", the three women aligning with Edward spat a mouthful of blood from receiving that attack, they were connected with Edward\'s body, and they also can feel the brunt of the mighty slash.

Even the Spirit Shadows becomes wobbly and some of the strings snapped because of that.

"Don\'t be cocky in front of me! Even without my Gladiator Form, you\'re still a measly seventh-rank Awakened!!"

CLANG!

Brak!

Edward falls to one knee from receiving yet another blow from above, the impact makes the shield tremble and the effect spreads across his entire body forcing blood to leak out of the corner of his mouth. It was a brutal slash.

Intending to help, Sentine charges from the side but was blocked by a square-shaped barrier.

"Ultimate Spell, Chaotic Storm of Imperial Light!"

Sentine was trapped inside a cage of light before light beams fire from all directions, his big body finds it hard to dodge the light beams as they create holes all over his body. Not only that, the light beams bounced and hit Sentine again.

Under the barrage of light beams, Sentine succumbs to the damage and vanishes.

But just as Sentine went back to Edward\'s shadow, it screamed inside Edward\'s head trying to warn Edward of the incoming catastrophe, [Edward!! The shield!! Look out!!]

Edward heard the scream, he looks up and finds the shield of dark fire disappearing.

The shield of dark fire is not made of mana or spirit energy but it\'s linked to Sentine instead, and when Sentine\'s physical body was decimated the shield will also disappears alongside Sentine. Edward saw the huge grin on Zero\'s face as he was completely open for an attack.

"You\'re wide open, Edward..."

With his eyes bulging in surprise, Edward clenched his entire body and grits his teeth.

SLASH!

BOOM!

In the blink of an eye, the sword of light slashed at his stomach creating a huge cut before sending him crashing away through the entire mansion and bursting out to the backyard. Blood escapes his mouth as he was sent across the backyard leaving a red trail.

Even though the attack landed directly, his body is on auto-pilot as he slowly stands back up.

Trying to recover from the attack, Edward can taste iron in his mouth before a stabbing pain stopped him from straightening his back. Looking down at his stomach, he saw that there was a devastating bleeding cut.

But his attention was pulled to the side seeing Mrs. Greene and the others are still here.

"Leave!!!"

Despite the pain that is straining his body to the utmost limit, Edward shouted telling them to run away before coughing yet another mouthful of blood. The only reason he was fighting this fiercely is to buy time.

Mrs. Greene, Robert, his Uncle, Zelene, and Russ needs to survive.

Upon seeing the blood and injuries all over Edward\'s body, Zelene screamed at the top of her lungs but her mouth got covered by Russ. Edward\'s uncle is also worried but he knows that he can\'t do anything in this situation.

Without wasting any more time, they left through the small back door with heavy hearts.

The three women from the Hester Family came out of the mansion and immediately went to help Edward, they were not in great shape either. Since they are linked to Edward, the damage done to him was also felt by them.

Red iron-scented liquid has already seeped out of the corner of their mouth.

But knowing their duty here that was tasked by Lady Lauren, the short-hair woman then asks, "Are you okay?! That\'s it, we need to escape right now. We can\'t take that guy on, there\'s a big realm gap between us and him"

"No, bring the others out of here. I\'ll hold him off...", Edward gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

Shoving the woman in front of him weakly, Edward stands in their front while readying himself to fight the Awakened again who is slowly coming out of the hole in the mansion with his glowing eyes.

Although she finds that Edward is a madman for doing this, she marvels at his loyalty.

Glancing at the other women that are also wounded, the three of them went into their battle stances as they connect themselves to Edward again intending to help him to the very end to fight this rogue Awakened that ran rampant in sector 2.

Zero walks out with the sword of light in his hand.

But as if he was not already powerful enough, another sword slowly materializes in his other hand.

"You\'re at the end of your life, Edward. I\'m going to kill you now... your blood will be used to cleanse Rex\'s sin of surfacing the trauma and making her sad", Zero said with a brutal expression.

It\'s an expression that is unfit for fellow humans.

Edward realizes something in Zero\'s face, it\'s clear that in his eyes he was fighting the Supernatural.
