The Invincible Full-Moon System



Listening and seeing it firsthand is a completely different feeling.

Rex has already heard so much fear other races had towards the famous Rastrikan Demons.

All of the gruesome atrocities they have committed in the past, survived through thousands of years, living inside the memory of their victims. It must've left a very deep impression for their feats to survive the test of time.

Due to that, it was also expected that they would not pick and choose their victims.

Sympathy or other related traits were not present in their hearts.

No matter if it's old or young, woman or man, civilians or not, they kill everybody regardless.

Knowing what to expect from the Rastrikan Demons helps Rex prepare himself mentally for the possibility of seeing something outrageous. The amount of horror he had seen was not a joke either, he's not easily disturbed or irked by gruesome acts anymore.

But the Rastrikan Demons had gone through the limit of his tolerance.

Killing children alone is bad enough already.

If Rex saw something even remotely close to that, he would already burst into fury.

However, the Rastrikan Demons went even further.

For them, killing their victims normally is no longer satiating their brutal hearts. Instead, the only way to satiate themselves is through maiming and mentally torturing victims, including children, gradually breaking their will and sanity before ultimately ending their lives.

Just their acts alone wiped all hesitation in Rex's heart, he would let loose for once.

Currently, the Dwarven army was left speechless.

Once again, a surreal sight entered their vision that left them completely stunned.

All of them still remember vividly the horror they are induced by the Rastrikan Demons. In their perspectives, the Rastrikan Demons were unkillable and absolutely monstrous to the point that no plans they created were thought would be able to work on them.

Even before the First Breath arrived, Huvuki already tried to create countermeasures.

Dwarven Captains, high-rank families, and even Huvuki himself gathered for a meeting daily, brainstorming a plan and revising it countless times in preparation for when the First Breath arrived and the Rastrikan Demons came to attack.

Because of their fear, the plan they concocted never seemed to be enough.

It was always imperfect.

Due to that, the sight in from of them served as a wake-up call, a pleasant reverie.

Rex's imposing presence that pressed down on his surroundings with Demon Lord Olgaroz lying on the ground weakly made the Rastrikan Demon who was offered a choice hesitate, looking over to his remaining comrades that were already on the brink of losing.

Out of the thousands inside their legions, now, a handful hundred remain.

No sign of winning could be seen, their leader was already reduced to helplessness.

"I'm giving you a simple choice. Hand me your leader's heart and Sin Epicenter in exchange for you and your fellow demons' lives, or risk dying with my holy blade and can't be resurrected forever" Rex added from the side, stretching his hand upside down.

Seeing the hesitation, Rex puts more pressure to help the Rastrikan Demon make a choice.

Just his voice alone made the Rastrikan Demon tense up even more.

Even the Dwarves onlookers tensed up to, feeling the words that came out of his mouth.

"Imposs'ble, eh...?"

"Y- Yeah, there's nae way tha' Demon'd do that."

"Err... it's a Rastrikan Demon, he'd rath'r die 'an doin' that."

All of them expressed a sign of disbelief, the Rastrikan Demon wouldn't succumb to that.

But their disbelief halted, their lips quivered, and their breaths were stuck in their throat when the Rastrikan Demon's body trembled visibly, showing that he was actually deliberating on doing what Rex offered him.

Even Huvuki gripped his war hammer's handle tightly at the sight of this.

None of the Dwarves believed that a Rastrikan Demon would stoop this low, it's impossible.

'They are fierce... horrifying... and monstrous... t- there's no way, eh...?

Remembering the past horror of the Rastrikan Demons, Huvuki also believed the same as the others. For an apex predator that even their ancestors feared, this is simply going too far. It's impossible for the Rastrikan Demon to do that.

But the sight made him repeat the words in his mind, convincing himself that he was right.

Forcing the Rastrikan Demon to carve out their leader's heart is stretching too far.

Suddenly, he gasped when he saw the Rastrikan Demon's hand move.

Almost as if Rex's words were acting like a spell, influencing the Rastrikan Demon's judgment, he surprisingly reaches out his claws to the gaping hole in Demon Lord Olgaroz's body, intending to take out the heart as well as the Sin Epicenter as requested.

It was obvious that the fear of not being able to be resurrected got to the Rastrikan Demon.

Rex smiled when he saw this, still having his hand stretched forward.

Despite asking for the heart and the Sin Epicenter of Demon Lord Olgaroz might've gone too far, and had a very high chance of the Rastrikan Demon refusing, he was sure that this would work because he knows one fatal fear that a Demon possessed.

And that is the fact that Demons killed would be resurrected back in the Demon Kingdom.

Something inside the Demon Kingdom gives Demons this ability.

Rex doesn't know what gave such a powerful ability of resurrection to the Demons, but he knows that their souls would go back to the Demon Kingdom where they will be reborn and ready to fight again.

Due to this ability, most of the Demons have this confidence of not fearing to die at all.

But that was completely different when a Demon was killed by a holy weapon.

Engraving a rune that turn Silver Eye holy made it possible for Rex to kill a Demon for good, he would need to exert more power from the rune to do that. The System told him that the rune he bought could only kill 4 Demon Lords before breaking apart.

It was obvious that there would be a limitation.

However, killing a regular Rastrikan Demon is way within the capability of the rune.

As expected, even Demons could feel fear of death.

Maybe the Rastrikan Demons were able to intimidate others to think that they were invincible, but not me. I'll show the world that these Rastrikan Demons are the same. They are vulnerable, can also feel fear, and be conquered.

Looking at the Rastrikan Demon, Rex smirked evilly.

There was an eerie silence on the battlefield as the Rastrikan Demon did the deed.

Demon Lord Olgaroz who wasn't able to move or even talk due to his condition was horrified, he watched the Rastrikan Demon approaching him with wide eyes. Not in his wildest dream that his heart and Sin Epicenter would be carved out by a member of his own legion.

Not forced either, the Rastrikan Demon was willing to do this, fearing for all of their lives.

Splurt!

Blood gushed out as the heart and Sin Epicenter were harvested.

Such a sight plummeted the Rastrikan Demons' famous reputation all the way to the ground.

A sly smile was etched on Rex's face, and it spread even wider when he saw this. His eyes glistened with a fearsome light, as the Rastrikan Demon handed him over the harvested heart and Sin Epicenter with trembling hands.

"Smart demon. You are determined to survive, and I like it" Rex said raspingly.

Pausing for a second to view the humiliated Rastrikan Demon, his eyes then slowly shifted back to Demon Lord Olgaroz who was utterly shattered by the sight. Rex gave him a mocking, savage smile to see him so broken.

He then raised the Silver Eye, ready to strike with the holy rune glowing brilliantly.

"I see that you have faith in your legion. However, it appears your faith means nothing to them" Rex said with a mocking tone, satisfied with how this fight turned out. "Just like other forces, it seems yours are still vulnerable"

Not idling any longer, Rex decapitated Demon Lord Olgaroz.

It takes only one elegant brandish to sever his head, ultimately ending his life here.

Upon ending the battle by killing Demon Lord Olgaroz, Adhara approached him from the side while fixing her gaze on the Rastrikan Demon. She leaned to his ear and asked, "What should we do with the remaining ones? Are you going to honor your words?"

"Let the rest of these Demons go, I'll honor my word" Rex suddenly declared out loud.

Gazing back at the Rastrikan Demon who still has his claws smeared with Demon Lord Olgaroz's blood, he continues, "Run along, Demon. Since you are brave enough, you have earned the right to keep living. Now, go..."

Clenching his fists, the Rastrikan Demon dashed away, leaving the battlefield.

Seeing this, the other Rastrikan Demons also did the same thing and fled the place quickly.

"Are you sure this is the right thing to do? They will alert the other legions" Adhara asked.

But this made a sly smile come through Rex's face as he gazed at the fleeing Rastrikan Demons, "I've decided to change my plan against them. I already showed the Dwarven and Elven armies that the Rastrikan Demons are killable, and their legions are also breakable. In the next ones, I'll show them that the Demon Lord of the Rastrikan Demons are also vulnerable, and lastly..."

"Demon Lord Kirgil... I'll show that even the Rastrikan Demons are conquerable" He added.

While saying this, there was no doubt in his voice.

Some might find this a bit too much, but Adhara believed that he would be able to pull it off.

Pshh...

Rex's body started steaming as the anger within him increased his power, his eyes fixed on the direction of where the remaining Rastrikan Demons had run off to, a flash of the young drow being bullied appeared inside his mind.

"I don't want to only kill them, I will expose their false invincibility. When I'm done, nothing of them will remain. The fear they induced on others, I will erase them all and return it back to them tenfold" He muttered, determined to set things straight.

Meanwhile, back in Dargena City.

Evelyn has been spending most of her time interacting with the people of the city.

Knowing what Rex wanted from her, she kept presenting herself as a queen figure of the city who would provide comfort. A much-needed figure in a time when worry was at its highest, considering that most of their forces were currently outside fighting right now.

It proved to be effective, as her warm aura and presence made them feel safe.

Most of the people were more at ease because of her.

Additionally, using her charm as a queen figure, she directed their uneasiness to work even harder in developing the city and making it self-reliant, which is the most important step right now in preparation for the increasingly chaotic world.

However, underneath her warm facade was an ultimate worry that was crippling her.

"Sigh... It's hard to keep a calm front when I, myself is not" 

Evelyn reached back to the castle and leaned her back against the gate with her hand above her heart, feeling exhausted from the constant mask she was putting on. But then again, this is not much different than when she was still a part of the Luc Family.

Out of the others, she was the one who was most used to this kind of situation.

Sitting on the stairs of the throne, she buried her face in her arms and rested for a moment.

Five minutes later, she took a deep breath and raised her face again, more refreshed than before, "I need to do something. When he finishes the Rastrikan Demons and comes back, he might just instantly leave for Calidora because of her damn scheme. I need to know the probability of that happening"

"But how do I know that...? I don't even know his plan" She muttered in deep contemplation.

Pondering for a moment, her eyes then widened in revelation.

Glancing to the side, she then walked away, "The Witch. She... She must know something"
