The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 1001 The Bigger Picture

He needs to reach an appropriate strength first before he can attempt to save her.

Save Rosie.

Despite the help from the System, the preparation took longer than expected.

When he reached there, it was already too late.

Rosie has already been sacrificed, her blood and soul were used to forge the Blood Devourer.

All of the pain flooded back to him when Nezera brought up the Blood Devourer, forcing him to remember that time again which was why he was in a very bad mood. He didn\'t remember whether Calidora had already told him about this truth or not.

But it feels like this was the first time she told him about the truth.

Initially, Rex really thought that Calidora didn\'t care whether Rosie would be sacrificed or not.

However, it seemed he was wrong.

Judging from the expression she was wearing right now, she doesn\'t seem to be lying too.

"Fate, huh..." Rex nodded, releasing a ridiculing chuckle directed at himself. "I\'ve never once blamed your parents for her death. I know that her blood was on their hands, but I never blamed them. If I were in their shoes, I would\'ve done the same thing"

"On the contrary, if anything, I blame myself more for her death" He added in a hushed tone.

It was the blunt truth, what he declared.

Not once has he blamed her death on anyone but himself who allowed it to happen.

Even until the end of time, she would still be one of his regrets.

"I don\'t know that my Mother came here for that. Had I known, I would\'ve reminded her to not mention that. I apologize on her behalf" Calidora whispered silently while her hand naturally found its place on his shoulder,?consoling him with a touch, knowing that he was feeling pain emotionally.

Upon hearing this, Rex shook his head, gesturing that it was fine.

A brief silence enveloped the two of them.

But the silence was short-lived as Rex\'s grave expression instantly turned serious.

It was as if he possessed a button to instantly shut off his emotions—a sight that unsettled Calidora, for she knew that emotions, by human standards, were integral to one\'s humanity, and to be able to shut it off like that was not normal.

Soon, Rex glanced at her with a peculiar look and asked, "How did you get the Luna energy?"

"Hmm...?" Calidora was caught off guard by the question.

Despite her countenance remaining unchanged, deep down, she was completely shocked.

There was no denying that the question reverberated within her, catching her off guard, not expecting Rex to poise that question as she tried to use the Luna energy discreetly. But it seems his senses were far too keen to overlook it.

Now Calidora was put in a spot, not knowing what to answer.

Everything she had done was flawless until this point which might expose what she did.

If Rex knew of her plans, then she would definitely be in trouble.

Under the weight of his questioning gaze, she felt the pressure, yet she adeptly composed herself before responding, "Let\'s just say that I win a bet against Evelyn. Why? Do you intend to coerce me into giving it back to her when I won the bet squarely?"

Rex paused for a second in contemplation, attempting to read through her.

"No..." He answered. "I only found it weird for you, a Vampire to have the Luna energy for me"

Knowing that the Luna\'s position could change, it wasn\'t that surprising to see that it was not only Evelyn who could wield Luna energy. Calidora was also able wield it. Since Evelyn didn\'t say anything about this, then it must be between the two of them.

Despite his curiosity, Rex decided to not intervene between them.

However, he would ask the System later whether the Luna could give her energy to others.

Just to make sure that Calidora is not lying.

Not wanting to idle on that topic, Calidora quickly changed it, "Say, I know that you are trying to reach the ninth epiphany in cursed power to fight against the Executor, but what are you exactly trying to do here?"

"He wouldn\'t lose to a mere ninth epiphany" She questioned, oblivious to Rex\'s plan.

Upon hearing this, Rex clears his throat and averted his gaze away.

A subtle pout formed within Calidora when she saw his guarded reaction which clearly shows that he didn\'t trust her enough to tell her about his plan. "Really? Do you really think that I would jeopardize your strategy against the Executor? I\'m a Supernatural, a Vampire, a Vampire Princess at that. I may not look like it but I also shipped his demise"

Obviously, all Supernaturals would want the Executor to be dead.

Even those who are peaceful would want to get rid of the Executor, there was no exception.

Although the majority of Supernaturals hated him, some were passive.

Some maintained a neutral stance, but nevertheless, even within this group, the sentiment was still the same, lingered that the Executor\'s demise was the most desirable outcome for every single Supernatural alive.

They were driven by the fundamentals of living beings, rooted in the principle of survival.

If the Executor is left alive, he will enslave all of the Supernatural races.

Casualties would increase for the Supernaturals, and their lives would be like being in Hell.

Something that none of them wants to happen again.

Due to that, Calidora was also on the side who wanted the Executor to die, and there was no reason for her to jeopardize Rex\'s plan to kill the Executor. Even the Elders who were recently awakened agreed to help Rex.

Rex turned to look skywards and crossed his arms, "I made a deal with the Witch of Chaos"

"A deal? What deal?" Calidora asked curiously.

Sighing lightly, Rex recalls the deal before he elaborates, "I don\'t know if you know about it or not, considering that you are very young for a Vampire, but there\'s a powerful weapon that resides in the Symposium. It\'s a weapon surpassing your Origin\'s or any other Supernatural Origins\' weapon"

"It\'s a weapon that belongs to who the Executor regarded as the Supreme One" He added.

Because of the situation, Rex used the last chance to buy anything from the System to learn about the Executors. He learned about this weapon from there and developed a plan that would allow him to win against the Executor, the Fifthborn to be exact.

Had he wielded that weapon, taking down the Executor wouldn\'t be a problem.

Upon hearing this, Calidora frowned.

"Is that the reason the Executor is heading south, to the Symposium?" Her eyes widened.

Rex nodded in response, it was the Executor\'s plan to get that weapon.

Having that weapon will guarantee his sovereignty.

The Executor knows that the weapon would erase all chances of him losing or dying.

Since that weapon was the strongest weapon that has ever been recorded in history, forged using a divine material coupled with the flesh and souls of millions of Supernaturals by the Supreme One for more than a century-long, there was nothing that could match its power.

A weapon of incalculable power, giving the wielder power to become the ruler of the world.

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "In order to activate the dormant power of the weapon, one would need a special gem which was now within the Executor\'s possession. I already consulted this to the Witch of Chaos, and she said that she could corrupt the gem"

"However, she needs a ridiculous amount of cursed energy" Rex added finally.

Now he had revealed the bigger picture.

Learning about the bigger picture, a part of Rex\'s plan to take down the Executor, Calidora now understands why Rex would need to cultivate his cursed power and why it\'s very crucial for him to reach the ninth epiphany.

With the Executor getting closer to the Symposium, he has little to no time to fulfill this.

"How would the Witch of Chaos corrupt the gem?" Calidora asked.

Even if Rex reached the ninth epiphany in time, she doesn\'t understand how the Witch could corrupt the gem when the Executor was the one possessing it. Additionally, since it\'s a very important item, then he must\'ve guarded it dearly.

Upon hearing this, Rex turns to look Calidora dead in the eye.

He paused for a second before he said, "She would need to go there and touch it directly..."

...

Meanwhile, Dargena City.

Fortunately, nothing substantial happened during the time when Flunra went to meet with Rex to notify him about the proposition from the Ice and Snow Lunirich God. It was peaceful within the walls of Dargena City.

With the awakening of Kyran, the atmosphere of the castle was better.

If he finally woke up from his comatose state, then the situation would indeed be better.

Despite the flaws and mistakes that Kyran had made in the past, there was no denying that he was slowly becoming reliable. He was even capable of making first contact with the Dark Elves and saving Evelyn, albeit a misunderstanding.

Evelyn had spent her time meditating the last couple of days.

Aside from being cramped inside her training chamber, she went out of the castle one time.

It was due to Gelmar wanting to show her something she needed to see.

Surprisingly enough, at the town square, Gelmar surprised her with the sight of a gathering of city guards that were scouting and protecting the city clad in reddish bronze armor which made them look more like experts and add a menacing air to them.

Reported by him, the last batch of armor has been made and distributed.

Now, the entire city guards were clad in identical armor.

Even Gelmar\'s weapon was different, his weapon seemed glistening and tremble with power.

A new weapon befitting the city guard\'s captain.

Gratitude resonated in Evelyn\'s words as she delivered a speech to the city guards, fueling them with passion to protect the city. In addition, in a gesture of appreciation, she personally visited the industrious workers to commend their relentless efforts in crafting armor for the multitude of city guards.

With this, Dargena City\'s military has grown substantially stronger.

Even those who were not in the sixth-rank realm were pushed to the edge of reaching it.

Now, Evelyn is walking through the hallway of the castle and stepping into Kyran\'s bed chamber where he finds no one other than Kyran on the bed. She expected the same scenery, with Naela taking care of Kyran.

But it seemed she was not here right now, heeding Evelyn\'s words to train.

Closing the door behind her, she sat at the edge of the bed, facing the wall in contemplation. It was obvious that there was something in her mind, and that something was definitely tied to Rex who was now away.

"I know that you can\'t hear me, but I really need to get this off my chest" Evelyn muttered.

Keeping a calm tone, she then poured out what was inside her mind.

She started by introducing Calidora as if she was actually talking with Kyran and continued with what she wanted, her intention to get rid of her, Adhara, and Gistella all the way to what she had done, threatening her seat as the Luna.

Most of her confession revolves around the uncertainty of what would happen in the future.

However, it all receded in her questioning herself whether she trusted Rex or not.

"I just don\'t know what to do. I want to trust that Rex would not abandon me, Adhara, or Gistella. But, on the other hand, there was Calidora who might actually be able to convince Rex to leave us"

"I remember when he was mad at us, and it felt like he was about to abandon us for good"

"What do I do, Kyran? Should I trust him or not?"

Glancing towards Kyran behind her, still sitting on the bed with an absent-minded look, she could only force out a sigh and stood up. She knows that Kyran wouldn\'t be able to respond, but it felt good to let this out of her chest.

Heading to the door again, she mused, "I\'m sorry for intruding. Please, get better quickly"

Just as she opened the door, Evelyn gasped.

Since her mind was a mess, she didn\'t realize that there was someone standing right in front of the door which caught her by surprise. Raising her gaze to lock eyes, her eyes widened, "F- Flunra...?"
