The Invincible Full-Moon System

On the other hand, nearing the front of the charge was Brigitta.

She was observing the strategy employed by the Supernatural Army and was surprised—not by the strategy—but by the chaos monsters instead. Even though they were pounded by the full might of Flunra and other Supernaturals, they were still able to persevere.

It still came as a surprise that the Executor could summon this many chaos monsters.

Easily reaching tens of thousands that is.

But as Brigitta turned to look at the Executor at the very front, she could tell that summoning this many chaos monsters took a toll on him. Others might not realize the change, but she as the closest to the Executor could tell that he was fatigued.

Had not it been for the First Breath, he probably wouldn't have been affected by this.

However, it was a different case in this scenario.

Despite managing to break the limiter of the First Breath—it didn't necessarily mean that the Executor recovered his peak strength instantly. He could cast higher-ranked spells—but was not able to recover his inexhaustible mana pool.

Just as she was contemplating, her attention was pulled directly to the right side.

There, Brigitta found that the Witch was also sprinting by her.

"What are you doing here,?" She asked with a frown, giving the Witch an unfriendly gaze as she did not trust the Witch at all. "If you want to help, then cover the flank, there's no need for you to be at the very front"

Upon hearing this, the Witch looked at her seriously, "The chaos monsters can handle it,"

"Besides, the Executor would be needing help as soon as we reach the Dead Man's Creek—as you might know already—the Passues would swarm us the moment we stepped inside its territory" She added, giving a reasonable excuse for being at the very front.

Albeit not wanting her anywhere close to the front, Brigitta couldn't refute her explanation.

It was true that the chaos monsters were handling themselves well.

Moreover, the Passues were the number one threat that even the Executor would need help defending from them. Preparing themselves for the threat in front would be the logical move they could make right now.

Showing her hostility clearly, Brigitta huffed and shifted her gaze onward again.

In response, the Witch gave Brigitta a side eye as a hidden smirk slowly adorned her lips.

Her mind was filled with unknown riddles.

Averting her attention away from Brigitta, the Witch turned to look at Rex in the sky who was seen absorbing the Life Essence gathered by Mavenna. She paid attention to the increase in his cursed energy, checking if it was anywhere near the ninth epiphany.

'We're doomed if you fail to ascend,' She thought. 'Make sure you reach it, Royal Black Prince'

On the other hand, Rex was gritting his teeth as he absorbed the Life Essence.

Even though he needs to know now if he managed to reach the ninth epiphany yet with the Life Essence gathered by Mavenna—he couldn't help but hesitate for a good second at the thought of not being able to ascend.

But he quickly threw that thought away and absorbed the Life Essence whole.

Swoosh!

Rex pulled the pulsating blob of Life Essence toward his chest—compelling the energy inside to merge with him, initiating a direct interaction with his cursed source. He could see with his bare eyes that the Life Essence was being changed into cursed energy.

As seconds passed, the cursed source within him grew bigger and bigger.

Despite his hope of being able to ascend—he watches as the Life Essence evaporates.

It evaporated before he could reach the ninth epiphany.

Just a little bit more! If only it could gone on for a little bit more, I could've ascended!

Under the fuel from the massive amount of Life Essence that Mavenna gathered from killing a lot of Humans—Rex could feel that his cursed source was already nearing its peak. As Rex had expected, it wasn't growing anymore in the last few seconds, showing that ascension to the ninth epiphany was near.

However, the Life Essence was drained before he reached the breaking point.

He was still short on Life Essence.

Rex was troubled as there were no more sources for gathering Life Essence.

Now that the Executor has deployed the totem that made the entire Human Army completely invulnerable, Rex couldn't harvest more Life Essence from them. It was unclear how long this effect from the totem would last.

Moreover, there was no way of knowing that without the System's help.

It could be a few minutes or will last throughout the battle.

Glancing downwards to the battlefield, his eyes landed on the Supernaturals, his own forces.

A thought came to mind, but Rex quickly took back that thought.

No... No matter how desperate I become, I can't sacrifice my own forces for Life Essence.

Throwing that wicked thought which would only cause a great dissonance to his own forces, Rex tries to think of another solution to no avail. He couldn't think of a way to gain more Life Essence to ascend to the ninth epiphany.

But even then, he could stand idle and think of a solution for long.

There was nothing Rex could do except keep on going.

First of all, I need to help Flunra break the walls of chaos monsters and cut the Human Army.

Just as he was about to do that, Rex's eyes caught sight of two figures.

Heading towards Flunra at a considerable speed—thwarting the chaos monsters jumping on them were two familiar figures. It took Rex a moment to recognize who they were because of the changes these two had undergone.

Is that Gelmar and Dindora...?

Rex looked at the two generals with a hint of shock in his eyes.

Unlike the last time they met them, Gelmar and Dindora had evolved because of the battle.

Seems like the pressure was able to stimulate their growth.

Emerging through the onslaught of chaos monsters on the left was Dindora, her natural air of serenity had now transformed into an aura of substantial strength. Contrary to the normal air and appearance of Dryads, she now epitomized the raw power of nature's darker aspects.

Due to the fierce fight, Rex missed a notification notifying him about this change.

<One of the user's vassals, Dindora, has evolved into a higher-ranked Dryad Bloodline>

<Stimulated by her emotions, she evolved into a War Dryad!>

Reading the notification, he shifted back to observe Dindora's current state.

Her usual—eye-catching womanly features were now completely covered by armor made of refined wood with yellow accents here and there. Her left hand could transform into a shield while her other hand held her blade of choice, a sword.

Veiny roots could be seen wrapping around her body, pulsating with immense nature energy.

Additionally, each attack from her was the embodiment of nature's wrath.

"Small cancers of earth, out of my way!" She roared in and cleaved her sword horizontally.

Unleashing a fierce battle cry—Dindora swung her sword in a wide arc, cleaving through the ranks of the small chaos monsters with a single powerful stroke. As her blade sliced through their twisted forms—she summoned forth thick—vicious roots fueled with the raw energy of nature itself.

She advances forward without slowing her momentum.

Each cleave of her sword summoned the vicious side of nature—the roots snaking out from the earth to ensnare and impale the enemies fiercely. Not to mention, her movements were precise as she danced amidst the tide of chaos monsters.

Just like Rex earlier, there were some small chaos monsters attaching and weakening her.

But the roots easily swatted them away.

It was clear that Dindora would have no struggle to reach and help Flunra located ahead.

Many would consider Dindora's movement rough and ferocious, however, her movement pale in comparison to Gelmar on the side. Adorned in the stark red prudian armor—with the torso armor being shattered, leaving his shirtless—he tore through the tide of chaos monsters like an absolute beast.

Utilizing not only his blade to butcher through the enemies, but he also used brute force.

He grabbed and crushed the chaos monsters with his bare hands.

Compared to the fighting style of the Elven race—he bore not a single trace of their reserved and compact style. It was almost as if he had adopted the brutality of Demons instead, more of a berserker than a graceful Elf.

Looking at this, Rex squinted his eyes and checked the notification about Gelmar's change.

<One of the user's vassals, Gelmar, has evolved into a unique higher-ranked Elven Bloodline>

<Stimulated by his emotions, he evolved into a Midnight Steel Elf!>

Unique high-ranked bloodline? Does that mean he evolved into an unorthodox bloodline?

Rex had never delved deep into the bloodline tiers of other races, even among Werewolves—his knowledge was limited. He doesn't know what kind of power the Midnight Steel Elf allows Gelmar to manifest, but from what he was seeing, Gelmar's newfound strength plastered Rex with wary fascination.

Not that he broke through to the higher realm, but he's abnormally strong for his realm.

Just like Rex when he was in the sixth-rank realm with Devo as his spirit.

Clearly, Gelmar got stronger but that strength made him extremely berserk—as if his mouth was rotting with blood type of anger. Appearance-wise, he became a shadow sculpted with the beauty of a ruthless blade. His hair cascades like a raven waterfall—spilling black ink on the canvas of his skin that now turned ivory.

Unlike the coldness of his skin, his eyes—vast and fathomless were as black as midnight.

His eyes bore the icy resoluteness to kill anything in sight.

Both his alabaster flesh and midnight black eyes were a stark contrast to the battlefield.

Gelmar moved through the battlefield even quicker than Dindora who was not too far behind him—he slaughter everything in sight as his bare torso and leg armor whispers the power of forgotten magics of nature.

'Enough...' Clenching his jaw, Gelmar gazed ahead. 'It's enough sacrifices from them!'

Not wanting to be a freeloader of a free city, Gelmar has had enough.

The Silverstar Pack and Rex had demonstrated enough to prove that they were willing to go such a length to protect the people of the city. Now—it was time for the vassals of Dargena City to step forward and show that they too were willing to make sacrifices.

In a frantic sprint, Gelmar channeled his energy to his sword and thrust forward.

Boom!

Flunra who was attempting to pierce the wall of chaos monsters was caught in surprise the moment Gelmar struck the wall. Even though Gelmar was not as strong as him—the impact was greater than most of the Supernaturals helping him.

Additionally, the wall crumbled more which allowed some Vampires to leap through.

Boom!!

Not stopping at that, more of the walls were struck down as Dindora joined the fray.

She thrust hundreds of intertwined sharp vines into the walls.

Upon seeing the walls were crumbling faster than the chaos monsters could reinforce, Flunra cracked a smile and commanded the Vampires to prepare themselves to leap inside the walls as it was struck down.

Earlier, some of the Vampires from the third generation tried to fly and went over the walls.

But the chaos monsters also quickly covered the top.

With the help of Gelmar and Dindora, however—they started to have enough damage.

Looking at this from above—Rex couldn't hide his smile as he realized that if this battle was won, Dargena City would also be accepted by the high-rank Supernaturals. It wouldn't be a necessary move to hide the rebellion allied nations.

Now that the Vampire's side was being handled, it left with the Demon's side.

Just as Rex was about to help the other side, another bright figure soared across the sky.

The figure didn't waste any time to evaporated a portion of the chaos monsters walls on the Demon's side, creating a breach that the monsters couldn't swiftly mend. This opening allow the Demons to get inside freely.

"Fashionably late? Are you saving face, princess?" Rex commented and gazed at the figure.

Radiating gracefully with moonlight, energy, the figure smiled lightly.

One look is enough to tell that this figure was none other than the Ice and Snow Princess.

"Hmph! As you requested, I am here to help—don't complain about my lateness, it was quite a long journey to reach here" the Ice and Snow Princess replied—scoffing at Rex who forced her to be here in this battlefield.

But even with her temper, her presence is enough to push the tide into Rex's forces further.
