The Invincible Full-Moon System

787 A Part of the Request



Blocking his way to reach Gistella was Calidora, a teasing evil smile on her face.

Rex wanted to ignore her knowing her craziness knows no bounds, he would not receive anything in responding to her but more headache and bullshits. At least, that is what he wanted to do until suddenly, something happened to his body.

A sudden cold infiltrates his body and somewhat is able to stop him in his tracks.

It was akin to a freezing air blowing from within him, making his body stiffer and stiffer the more he tries to fight it and reach Gistella who is already paler than ever before. Since she was linked with the curse, there's a high chance that her soul was involved in this.

Just like the System said, she might really die if the curse got out of her body.

"C-Calidora?! What have you done to me!" Rex shouted in absolute horror.

<Time Limit: 13 Seconds>

Upon hearing this, Calidora chuckles as she finds Rex a couple of steps behind her, standing frozen in place due to the unexpected coldness. Veins all over his body were bulging, showing the sign of his try.

Striding lightly to stand in front of Rex, Calidora then caresses his face.

Albeit a smooth caress as if she was soothing someone dear to her, Rex can feel her sharp claws prickling the surface of his skin, and to his surprise, his skin was cut and blood can be seen drizzling out.

"I've dedicated myself to learning our curse, and I managed to comprehend a gist of it"

Calidora then slowly wraps her arms around Rex's neck and puts her maniacal face right in front of his, "Now, this is what I can do. I can control you, at last... hah..." She moaned, finding joy in Rex's struggling face.

But this only insinuates the anger inside of Rex, his energy rampage to the surroundings.

"Let me go! She's going to die if you don't let go of me!" Rex shouted, the kingly aura inside of him started to seep out, pushing his power to another degree and causing his entire body to shake uncontrollably.

Despite everything, Rex finds no notion of him being able to break free.

Listening to Rex's plead and struggle, the Eyes of Terror flickered on and off, almost as if they too are excited about this situation. "And what makes you think I care...? In my view, she's nothing but a pest for us"

Just then, Rex's eyes bulged even further, his stats are increasing rapidly.

"I- Is... Is this, love...?" Calidora grabbed Rex's face and look directly into his eyes. Albeit his eyes are emitting bloodlust, behind all of that destructive bravado, she can feel a soft feeling that is very fragile to the core.

<Time Limit: 9 Seconds>

<It's advised the user to quickly save Gistella or risk failing the Sudden Quest>

Rex looks down at his stiff body, he didn't pull back his power and use everything he got, wanting to break free from this damned power that Calidora was somewhat able to inflict him with.

But even then, Calidora is still stuck with the softness she saw earlier.

For some reason, she feel unease, almost as if her existence was threatened to the point that a powerful ache appeared in her heart. Yet, she hides that perfectly, before she slowly turns her face around to see Gistella.

"Calidora..." Suddenly, a voice came from the back.

Upon hearing this cold and eerie tone that was quite rasping and deadly, Calidora turns back her eyes back to Rex before her pupils suddenly trembled. It was only for a brief moment, but she felt an inhuman chill crawl down her spine.

Many don't know this, but the Eyes of Terror also has an effect on the said Vampire.

It was one of the strongest natural power of the Vampire Race, the Eyes of Terror can cause a shattering in reality if bred and controlled successfully. Numerous requirements are needed to reach that level.

But the potential is undoubted, the Eyes of Terror is quite like its name, can terrorize anyone.

Due to that, there's a boost in pride for the Vampires that possess the Eyes of Terror. Vampires in general are more prideful than other races, but this amplifies that pride by ten or even a hundredfold.

With this kind of mindset, fear for them is disgraceful.

Inflicting Vampires who possess the Eyes of Terror with fear-inducing abilities, or even raw mental fear is almost impossible, they are practically a hard shell to crack even in front of overwhelming power.

Even though that is the case, Calidora undoubtedly feels fear for a brief second there.

Rex's expression at this current moment didn't have the sign of anger that he has earlier, he was calm and collected despite still trying to power through the power that binds him. But this brought along even more power to his presence.

Now, he has gone quiet, like a suppressed raging storm.

"I'm warning you..." Rex added with the same deadly tone, and his eyes are unwavering.

<Time Limit: 5 Seconds>

Upon hearing this, Calidora's expression darkens as she looks down to the ground. Her smile disappeared for a moment before it came back again, the maniacal side of her has never experienced something like this.

"Grrgghh!!" Rex's body slowly became bigger as anger fueled him even more.

Looking at Gistella that is already slowly losing consciousness due to the link that is still connected with Dealkandrax, somewhere on the north side of them, he knows that this is now or never.

If he didn't break free now, then Gistella will die, and that is akin to gasoline to his anger.

Crack!

Rex heard a cracking sound coming from the binding power gripping him tightly, and this makes him more motivated by the fact that he was making progress and excluded as much strength as possible.

Even the ground beneath his feet began to crack and spread far and wide.

Just like a volcano that was about to erupt, the ground began to shake under the otherworldly power that he was showing right now. But when the time limit hits the two second-mark, the edge of him breaking free, the binding power suddenly disappeared.

"Don't be too stiff, I was joking" Calidora suddenly said.

Not wasting a single second, Rex blitzes to Gistella and severs the link quickly.

Slash!

Without even a single second passing, he managed to reach Gistella and sever the link. Rex then catches Gistella's body before he gently gets on one knee, inspecting her with the System and also his eyes.

"Gistella! Gistella! Are you okay? Answer me!" Rex called out, trying to get a reaction.

But even for a moment, there was no response from Gistella. Rex held the back of her head as a paralyzing dread and fear started to overflow his entire body, his hands began to shake as he gain no reaction whatsoever.

Rex closed his eyes, pulling Gistella's body close and hugging her gently with emotions.

Just as he was dwelling inside his palpable sorrow while holding Gistella in his arms, a light voice whispered in his ears. It was akin to a radiating light in the darkness that forced him to jolt his eyes open, "R-Rex...? Is it finally over...?

  Pulling back, Rex can't hide his smile when he saw Gistella is also smiling at him weakly.

"Y-Yes, you're safe now" Rex replied, slightly stuttering which is very uncharacteristic of him.

<Sudden Quest completed!>

<Congratulation for completing the Sudden Quest and successfully saving one of the user's pack members, Gistella! The user has obtained  300 Billion Exp, Unbinding Curse Technique, and Damned Specter Skill>

<Level up!>

<All stats has been increased accordingly>

<Unbinding Curse Technique>

A technique developed in ancient times that allows entities with curses to unbind their bodily limiter and gain slowly gain access to the cursed energy within them, allowing them to be able to use cursed energy without being a Witch themselves.

<Damned Specter Skill>

Summon a copy of the user's soul that can roam around in the curse dimension that is more sensitive to cursed energy. It has the benefits of permanently strengthening the caster's soul, allowing the caster to attack other's souls directly, and also being able to fight the manifestation of cursed sources.

Rex sighs in relief when he finds that he had managed to complete the Sudden Quest.

It was an unexpected attack that came out of the blue, but he was glad that everything went well. Moreover, he got quite a bountiful reward for completing the Sudden Quest, gaining a level, and two other things.

But this incident is the last straw, he's now determined to learn about curses.

Although he tries to consider all possibilities, he failed to anticipate this. Thus, he can't be taken off guard like this ever again, endangering Gistella's life and also potentially the others only needs to happen once.

Happening for the second time is not allowed, and he's firm on that.

Something like this is very dangerous, and he got lucky that he was able to save Gistella.

While looking at the quest rewards that he gained, a thought came to mind. 'I got a technique that can help me cultivate curses, this is good. I can start preparing to take down the Witch then. And also, this Damned Specter Skill... isn't this really good?'

As he thought of that, a flapping sound suddenly can be heard from the back.

Rex glanced back and saw Calidora flapping her wings away, heading in a direction. Seeing this, he then went to the side and puts Gistella down gently, "Wait here, Delta will come for you and bring you back to the castle, okay?"

"A-Alright, do what you have to do" Gistella replied with the same weak yet charming smile.

Upon hearing this, Rex nodded his head before he disappeared from the place. Calidora already went away and she should be chasing after Dealkandrax, and he too didn't want to let that thing go.

But as he was sprinting, he didn't sense the insectoid creature anywhere.

Picking up his pace, Rex caught sight of Calidora standing in the middle of the street. Landing right beside her, he then looks around and finds that he can't sense Dealkandrax anywhere.

'System, did that thing manage to gain the curse?' Rex asked.

<Yes, at the very least 99% of the curse inside Gistella has been extracted>

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly glanced at Calidora and gave her a cold look. In an instant, he charges straight at her intending to attack her from the side, what she did earlier is unacceptable.

Although he was fast, it seems Calidora has already expected his attack.

Zoong!

Similar to the binding power earlier, Rex can feel his body frozen once again. It makes him feel frustrated, he already asked explanation from the System earlier and it said that Calidora has access to the Eternal Curse.

It was due to that, she was able to do this to him thanks to the link between them.

"Don't be angry, I said that it was a joke" Calidora said.

Upon hearing this, Rex frown as he can't believe that Gistella's life is a joke to her.

But then, Calidora slowly glanced at him before she continues, "It's exhilarating, isn't it? The extreme sense brought by the thought of her death, the hastening of the blood inside of you, isn't it exhilarating to feel all of that?"

"Why...?" Rex asked coldly, squinting his eyes sharply.

Calidora paused for a second before she shrugs her shoulders, "What better way to make the blood inside of you pump more alluringly and faster aside from the thought of her dying? It's a part of my request, you know"

"Hmm... your request?" Rex asked back, puzzled by what she meant.

Not intending to explain what she meant, Calidora suddenly blurred from Rex's vision before out of nowhere, he can feel two sharp objects puncturing into his neck before his blood started being sucked out.

Glancing to the side, Rex was surprised when he finds Calidora sucking his blood.

Despite wanting to push her away, he simply can't due to the binding force, her control over the Eternal Curse that makes her have terrifying authority over him. Eventually, she pulled back, blood smeared on her plump cherry lips.

Calidora is deeply satisfied, her eyes are flickering as she gulps the blood down her throat.

As if she was drinking the most satiating drink in the whole wide world, she rubs her thumb along her chin and lips before she sucked on it, not wanting to waste even a single drop of Rex's blood that he gained.

"Now we're even, that's the payment for me helping you," Calidora said cheekily.
