The Invincible Full-Moon System
Chapter 558 Absolute Conviction

"nothing..."

Rex looks at the Awakened Guard in confusion, he never really cares about his neighbors as long as they didn't disturb him but he does know that there are two mansions beside his mansion. Since he just created a ruckus, he intends to apologize.

If the explosion was caused by his neighbors, he definitely would be annoyed.

But the Awakened Guard just reported to him that the neighbors are not in their mansions, weirdly enough there are also no guards there that should be guarding the mansion. It's sector 2, everyone has guards here.

Some madmen occasionally break the rules of sector 2 peace, so everyone needs guards.

"Your neighbors should be the branch president of the UWO and the branch president of the SCO, I've known their names but I don't personally know them. Maybe they were on a mission?", the woman said from the side.

Although she said that, there's a dubious expression on her face.

It might be really that they had work to do but having no guards watching their mansions is another thing, 'Something is off about this, why would they leave their mansions unguarded?'

"Sir...? What are your orders?", the Awakened Guard asks snapping Rex out of his thoughts.

Pondering about it briefly Rex then shakes his head knowing that if the neighbors are not there then there's no need to apologize, it's a little bit unsettling for the neighbors to disappear like that but there's no point in thinking it for too much.

"Tell the others to get back, and clean up the front yard"

"Yes, Sir!"

With that Rex and the woman went back into the mansion that is now burnt.

The only thing that was left of the training place was nothing but rubbles, and since it can even withstand Edward's assimilation with a spirit then that explosion should be equivalent to a seventh-rank spell explosion.

Something very powerful coming from a sixth-rank Vampire, but that doesn't amount much for Rex.

Upon hearing the loud explosion that happened right in their front yard, Adhara, Evelyn, Edward, and the others are already standing at the front entrance looking at what was left of the training place.

Just from a look from Rex, they knew that the Vampire is the one that caused it.

"Why don't we all go back inside? It's dangerous to be outside"

"Great idea, let's get back inside"

Both Adhara and Edward helped Rex by sending their families back inside the mansion, they're common people and shouldn't be exposed to the terror an Awakened occasionally experienced.

Despite many of them being curious, they were pressured to get back inside.

"Everyone has gathered in your mansion, are expecting trouble?", the woman asks from the side.

Researching the background of everyone who she made contact with is the basics for head families like both of them, certainly, the woman knows every family member associated with the Silverstar Family. Rex's parents, Russ, Edward's uncle, Zelene, everyone.

Without answering the question, Rex sighs, "Let's just get on with it..."

A moment later,

Rex walks inside a room before closing the door behind him, the sound of his footsteps approaching attracted the gaze of Flunra that is still at the center of the room.

From his expression alone, Rex knows that he's still unwilling to say anything.

"I'm sure you already sensed her, so you know that if she wanted to she can forcefully break your mind and extract any information she wanted. This is the last time I'm going to ask, give me a name, a place, anything regarding Ruston's pack members or family", Rex said standing with his hands inside his pocket, he was hoping that Flunra would succumb so he doesn't need to use Lady Lauren to extract information.

It might expose him to unwanted danger, so he preferred not to use her ability.

But even with the threat launched at him, Flunra didn't react which makes Rex frown, "Are you still being stubborn about this? For what? Honor? Pride? What is there left for you to protect?"

Hearing this Flunra can't help but chuckles weakly, he paused for a good moment before his expression suddenly turns gloomy in an instant, "Do you know that anything that revolves around the Supernatural Races, we always associated them with our Origin?"

"Origin is our God. The current Werewolves might have this sense but for me, an old timer, it was engrained inside my very existence. If you know me, you know that I'm quite selfish. When you asked what's left to protect, it's not that I want to protect the Werewolf race. I don't really care what happened to the Werewolf race"

"But the Origin is watching me, I can feel his eyes drilling into me. It scares me..."

Rex listened attentively without moving much from his spot, it was his first time hearing the actual mind of a Supernatural straight from its mouth. Usually, he reads it from the system's description.

But now he's listening to it firsthand, directly from a Supernatural's mouth.

Judging from Flunra's backstory as the only Werewolf that survived the Radical Era, Rex already has a rough guess of his selfish personality. It's a necessary trait in order to survive in such a dire time, he will need to think of only himself and disregard others.

It's not a surprise for him when Flunra told him that he doesn't care about the Werewolf Race.

Without a doubt, Flunra helping Zegrath, the Dark Prince must have something that will benefit him. On top of his head, his guess must be that Flunra intends to ascend Zegrath to the throne to make himself even more influential.

Making the King indebted to him is the utmost power in any Kingdom construct, Rex knows that.

But now that the selfish and heartless Werewolf is trembling uncontrollably, even the mention of the Origin brings a vivid image into his vision that scares the living existence out of him. It's a fear like none other.

Through the bleak sense, Rex can even see the bleak fearful aura filling the entire room.

Although he has seen many people being scared of him, this level of fear is out of his league. It seems when Flunra said about the Origin being engraved into his existence, he's pretty much telling the truth.

Upon seeing this, Rex takes a step forward before squatting in front of Flunra.

Without any malice that he usually exposed to Flunra, he stares directly into Flunra's eyes which are now filled with fright, "I don't know who this Origin you talked of, but I assume if he somehow appeared then he would be lethal to Humanity. If that happens, I will take him down"

Despite knowing that the current Rex is no match with the Origin, something feels different.

Maybe since he has never heard of any being aside from the ancient humans saying something like that, but it's not just that. The way Rex said that it's almost as if he's really sure that he will defeat the Origin.

It's not about him being able to but it's about him wanting to, Flunra can see that clearly.

"Although we're enemies, you are nevertheless one of my pack members. If anyone were to hurt you, that would be me. Nobody can do that except for me, so don't be scared. I'm going to protect you from the Origin"

"What you should be fearful of right now... is my wrath"

Flunra's eyes widened slightly upon hearing this, something strikes him from within.

Slowly his vision turns back down to the floor with a hint of contemplation, Rex stands back up and waited for a solid five minutes. But seeing no sign of talking from Flunra, he decided that it was enough.

"I've waited long enough...", Rex mutters intending to leave the room.

But just as he was about to reach for the door, Flunra stopped him.

"Wait!"

"Hmm...?", Rex slowly turns to face him again raising one of his eyebrows.

Flunra slowly raises his gaze which is now clearer than before, he seems to already come to a decision, "Fine... Damn the Origin, I'll tell you everything I know. There's no need to force me to talk"

Upon hearing this, Rex can't help but smile.

A moment later,

Rex escorted the woman back to her car after replaceing that her help was unnecessary to make Flunra talk, he managed to convince Flunra for helping him in search of Ruston's close ones. This is the most desired path.

When the woman sat back inside the black sedan and closed the door, she rolls down the window.

Glancing at Rex briefly who is standing by the car, she exposes a beautiful smile and said, "Don't forget our end of the deal, Rex. I don't mind helping you with this as long as you remembered that"

"Don't worry, I'm on it. Just expect the good news", Rex replied confidently.

Since he now has ninth-rank power killing the Shapeshifter that Lady Lauren wanted dead the most would be easy, he just needs to locate it. Despite the change of plans because of the escaping Shapeshifter, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

It's just going to be double the work which is an inconvenience.

Rex just needs to capture that Shapeshifter and the one Lady Lauren wanted, but a moment before he already anticipated this kind of talk from the woman.

Just after Flunra told him about what he wanted to know, he also asks about the Shapeshifter.

Rex asked whether Flunra can help him locate the Shapeshifter that is a part of the Five Conversions, and he confidently said that he can replace the Shapeshifter. It would make the job easier if he can replace the Shapeshifter as soon as possible.

With that, the woman nodded her head before the black sedan left the mansion.

After the woman left, Rex then looks at the destroyed mansion with a sigh, "The Shapeshifter can wait, what's more, important right now is Ruston. I'm going to replace them and inflict the same pain you did to me, just you wait..."

Meanwhile, inside a spacious room decorated with a contrast of gold and white.

There's a woman submerging herself inside a pool of glistening warm water in the center of the room, she stretches her arms to the side feeling the warm comfort brought by the water. Two men clad in white robes scoop the water before pouring it on the woman.

It's a relaxing time filled with silence, only the splashing sound of water can be heard.

But that relaxing vibe dissipates when a loud thud of the gate into the room closes, a middle-aged man clad in a white robe approaches the pool before kneeling on one knee respectfully.

Without needing to look back, the woman already knows the middle-aged man.

"Zero, what news have you received to disturb my bathing time?", the woman asks, but she was still enjoying herself inside the pool since she has just experienced something horrible. Something that almost killed her.

Lowering his head deeper, he then said respectfully, "My apologies for disturbing you, Lady Giana..."

"After I decline Rex Silverstar with the excuse of you having to protect the Vampire Stronghold, I've received no news from him again. But in the same regard, I also don't receive any news from President Sebrof"

Upon hearing this, Lady Giana exhales lightly before standing up from the shallow pool.

Exposing half of her beautiful naked body which would make any man go crazy, and even kill just to get a glimpse of it. The others inside the room including the man called Zero lower their gaze not intending to sully Lady Giana's scared body.

Lady Giana flicks her fingers before a majestic mantle made of energy covered her entire body.

She then turns around to face Zero before he then continued, "Do you want me to send a message to President Sebrof regarding this? He should know and might hesitate to contact us first, showing, where we stand, by contacting him first might help our situation"

"If there's no news from Sebrof then he can't be trusted", Lady Giana said with a frown.

After saying that she ponders for a moment while walking out of the pool, and she then finally said, "Make the arrangements, it seems we're going to do this with our own hands. Don't mention anything to Sebrof, he might be working together"

"Understood, I'll do as you say", Zero replied before leaving the room once more.

With a wave of Lady Giana's hand, the two men also left the room giving the spacious room all for Lady Giana herself. At the exact moment the two men left, she then looks up to the ceiling that looks majestic.

Drawings of symbols that portray five different energies combined into one were etched on the ceiling.

In the center of the drawing of the symbols of five different energies lies what looks to be an arrow that even lets out faint energy as if it was alive, Lady Giana pointed her hand towards that arrow before she gathers Arcane Mana.

After collecting enough, she twisted her hand before the arrow glows and the ceiling broke.

Crack!

From the cracks that expose the blinding light of heaven, Lady Giana watches as an arrow completely made of white energy slowly descends from the ceiling and lands on her hand. It contains raging energy like none other.

Lady Giana's eyes sparkle as she can't help but marvel at the beautiful arrow.

"I hope this is enough to kill him, but at the very least it should be enough to put him asleep..."
