The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 1009 Unknown Risks

Had Evelyn known what Calidora was doing, she would've cursed Calidora to death.

In every move that she made, there was always ulterior motives.

Evelyn's personal bias against Calidora fueled her to always be skeptical, as it surely wasn't always the case. However, for this very moment, she wasn't entirely wrong if she suspects Calidora was doing this for her personal gain.

'Good, if he rests here, he would be engaged emotionally' Calidora pondered.

A moment earlier, she had sensed that Rex had fallen asleep.

Despite the part where she told him to rest because of his wounded cursed source earlier was true, she also did that in order to make Rex feel more at ease. He hadn't been sleeping, she could tell from the look in his eyes.

Some Supernaturals don't require sleeping to function properly.

Nothing would happen to their body and minds if they decided to not sleep forever.

But even then, sleeping isn't entirely useless for them.

Its conception differs from Supernatural races to Supernatural races.

A distinction rooted in tradition and history, however, the most popular belief was that the fact that sleeping can heal one's soul. Going without it for a prolonged time would cause a myriad of problems such as soul or spiritual problems.

Even though it wouldn't harm their bodies, it might weaken their power temporarily.

Due to that, it was good for Rex to sleep.

Considering that he has a unique anatomy, having two forms, he might need it more.

Upon sensing that Rex had fallen asleep, judging from his steady breaths and reduction of his heart rate, Calidora walked out of the castle. Her eyes were trained forward as she had something to do right now.

Reaching the gate of the castle's walls, she stood there motionlessly.

Soon enough, almost a dozen figures appeared.

All of them came in the form of a drop of blood before it morphed into their forms.

Judging from the regal armor they were wearing, a united crimson with the glowing emblem adorning their breastplate, it was without a doubt that this group of Vampires came from the Royal Vampire Guard division.

Calidora swept her gaze at them and quickly recognized them all.

It was the loyalist.

Despite the fact that Elder Nolacula assumed the throne of the entire Vampire Kingdom, some royal Vampire guards were still loyal to Solomon. With him making sure the Vampire Kingdom stands for 15 years is enough to win their respect.

Thus, as his daughter, they are also loyal to Calidora.

"I assume that all of you have heard from my Mother and came here" Calidora started.

Each one of them nodded in response.

Nezera left not too long ago with Viscardi, a little bit over an hour.

But in that small timeframe, the royal Vampire guard loyalists managed to hear about her current state and came here with the intention of protecting her. It was obvious that they came here to make sure nothing happened to Calidora.

At least until her puerperal.

One of the royal Vampire guard loyalists, Dimitri stepped forward, "Please don't reject us"

"It's crucial that we are here to protect you from external threats, despite your confidence in defending yourself. With time, you will grow weaker and weaker, so if we are not of use right now, we will be in the future" He continued, his voice firm and unshakable.

Upon hearing this, Calidora scoffed, "Do you think I'm not safe with him around?"

Clearly, she was hinting at Rex who was sleeping inside.

Despite the pride and arrogance that the royal Vampire guards generally have, they should know that they are not comparable to Rex. But even then, Dimitiri's expression didn't budge and was seemingly even more serious.

"I talked to Monica a moment ago," Dimitri said, leading the conversation somewhere.

Claidora frowned when she heard this.

As the former royal lineage of the Vampires, she was well acquainted with Monica. She was one of the earliest Enchanters to awaken. Despite her relatively young age, barely at the one-thousand mark, she possessed an extensive understanding of the chasm of energy.

Nobody has a deeper understanding than her, at least not until the First Breath happened.

"Monica? What about her that concerns me?" Calidora raised an eyebrow.

Dimitri continued, elaborating from the start to make Calidora understand, "During your visit to the Delarosa Family's territory, a witness observed my Lady's confrontation with the Alpha of the Silverstar Pack. Naturally, he also witnessed you being decapitated..."

Listening to this, a frown was slapped on Calidora's face.

Aside from herself, there was nobody who knew about the Eternal Curse within her.

Queen Shanaela was another, but she knew very little.

Now that Dimitri has heard of her being decapitated, he must know about the curse too.

"If you are here to forbid me from using my cursed power, then you are wasting your time. I'm not going to stop, even if Mother or Father were the ones who came here" Calidora retorted, there was no way that she would stop using the Eternal Curse.

Out of her powers, her curse power is the strongest.

Upon hearing this, Dimitri shook his head, finding that Calidora misunderstood his intention.

"No, I'm not here to forbid you from using your cursed power. Use it or don't, it's entirely up to you, my Lady" Just then, his eyes turned sharp. "I don't know exactly what the curse that fuels your power is, so I'm going to ask you this. Does being revived take a big toll on you?"

Calidora was still at a loss about what Dimitri was trying to say.

However, she decided to follow along for now, "Yes, it takes a huge toll on my cursed energy"

"If that's the case, you should stop using that revival power" He added.

Calidora wanted to rebut as she already told him that she wouldn't stop using her cursed power from the start, but before she could say anything, Dimitri quickly continued, "Not for me, but for yourself. Because if you don't, then the child inside of you will be influenced"

Just as she heard this, her frown deepened and she tilted her head a little.

Her eyes were looking at Dimitri questioningly.

"I'm saying that if you use your cursed power too much, your child will die..." He elaborates.

Deg!

Upon hearing this, Calidora's breath was stuck in her throat.

Not once that she anticipate Dimitri to say that, and naturally, her innate instinct to protect the child inside of her kicked in as her heart began to beat faster, "What do— What do you mean by that, Dimitri?"

Despite the child was attempt to possess Rex, it was still her child.

It's the only child she will ever have.

Obviously, the thought that her child would die is something that crept fear in her.

"Monica explained it to me," Dimitri started, he was being serious. "A cursed source is not like the human's Awakened core that's linked directly. She said that there was a chance that the cursed energy my Lady used would mistake the child inside of you as the cursed source,"

"If you use more cursed energy, the chances of this happening will increase" He added.

Calidora's expression turned pale when she heard this.

Instinctively, her hand moved to rub her abdomen as not too long ago, during the Hare Moon, she fought against Rex and got revived multiple times. Now she realized that if she had been unlucky, then her child would die there.

Noticing the fear on Calidora's countenance, Dimitri also became nervous.

"Did you use that power recently...?" He asked whisperingly.

Upon hearing this, Calidora nodded subtly, she felt dizzy from the realization she just had.

Realizing that she had used her cursed revival power, Dimitri takes out something from a pouch attached to his waist. Calidora looked at the item and found that it was a necklace with a blueberry-colored pendant attached to it.

"What's that?" She asked, her voice shaking.

Dimitri came close and helped her wear it as he explained, "It's an item that Monica gave me. It will be able to roughly gauge the possibility of the cursed energy mistaking your child as the cursed source"

After wearing it, Calidora looked down and found the pendant gleamed lightly.

But the sight made Dimitri's face pale.

"What? What does it mean, Dimitri?!" Calidora slightly raised her voice out of sheer concern.

On the other hand, Dimitri snapped out of his momentary trance when she heard Calidora exclaiming at him. He then involuntarily gulped, "I- I don't know how to say this, but a small glow like this means that the probability is now very high"

"I don't know, maybe 1 more and your child will be..." He added and stopped mid-sentence.

...

"Rex, I'm scared..."

Inside a completely dark expanse, there was a voice calling to him.

Even though the voice was echoing and seemed to be resonating from a distance, there was no way that Rex couldn't recognize that voice. Bloodlust surged in his veins as his eyes flared open, darting left and right, desperately trying to pinpoint the source of the voice

"Adhara! Where are you?!" He shouted at the top of his lungs.

Despite his shout, there was only silence.

Rex, albeit not knowing where the direction of her voice came from inside this thick blanket of darkness, began to run. He could only hope that it was the right way, "Adhara! Please, answer me! Where are you?!"

But in the midst of running, he suddenly stopped as another voice came from behind.

"Kyaaahh! Help! Someone, help!!"

At that moment, Rex snapped his head back, "Evelyn?!"

He now heard Evelyn's voice.

But to make matters even worse, he never heard her voice being hoarse and weak like that.

Pant... Pant...

Naturally, the direction of his run shifted.

Rex began to sprint in the opposite direction, galloping with all his might.

However, the voices didn't stop there.

Soon, more voices came to haunt him, and all of these voices he recognized.

"No matter what, I will keep fighting on, even if it means my death"

"It's okay, Rex... It's not your fault"

"Even though I've done you wrong, I hope this will make up for my mistake"

"I'm honored to have served you, Royal Black Prince. No matter the ending, I'm honored"

Kyran, Gistella, Ryze, Flunra, everyone that he cared for could be heard inside the dark.

Despite the chaotic cacophony of disparate voices, a common thread emerged—they all shared the unmistakable vulnerability of feeble tones, as though collectively trapped in a dire and precarious situation.

It felt like only Rex was the one who couldn't see what was happening.

Eventually, Rex fell to his knees.

"RAARRGGGHH!!"

While covering both of his ears, he shouted at the top of his lungs as the voices started to become rampant, repeating the same sentences was maddening to hear. He couldn't do anything to stop what they were experiencing.

That was the sensation that made him go insane.

Just as the chaos was nearing its zenith, the voices suddenly dispersed simultaneously.

Realizing that the voices were all gone, Rex slowly put his hands down, only his rough breaths could be heard. It stayed like that for a moment before he suddenly felt a direct presence right in front of him.

Out of nowhere, a couple of spotlights flashed, lighting six spaces around him.

Rex slowly raised his gaze, expecting nothing.

But when he looked around, his eyes flared in utter horror, seeing that Adhara, Evelyn, Kyran, Gistella, Ryze, and Calidora were standing in their own spotlight. Each of them had their heads tilted down and stood completely motionless.

He slowly stood up, intending to approach one of them to check.

However, his body instinctively halted.

It was because Rex saw that their bodies started to be covered in blood.

"No, it's just a nightmare... this is not real"

Looking at this horrifying ordeal, Rex repeated those words a couple of times as the others got drenched completely in blood. It was akin as if they were stabbed by multiple invisible blades across their bodies.

Just then, Rex saw a slenderly tall figure coming out of the shadow and stood behind them.

A figure that he recognized instantly, the Executor.

Giving a delectable smile straight at Rex, the Executor soon poised his deadly claws on the others' necks. In response, Rex started shaking his head, but the Executor didn't heed him and cut their necks in a painful motion.
