The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 1316 When Gods Bend (1)

It began a good moment after the coronation day and the banquet.

One day Evelyn recalled that she had never seen the Witch of Chaos again, she recalled that the last time she saw the Witch was when Calidora, dropped the bomb news. From that day, Evelyn never saw, heard, or even feel the Witch.

Soon she heard that there was a new Forest Overseer.

Nobody inside the castle talked or even cared about it but the people knew this.

Most importantly, the captains knew about this closely.

Even was told that in response to the surging power—of cursed creatures residing within the forest—the Emperor has prepared something to keep them at bay. The forest is an important factor of the capital city. It was a layer of defense so wiping the cursed creatures—wasn't an option.

But the Emperor had an idea and appointed the Forest Overseer.

An entity affiliated with the royal pack based on the Emperor's words directly.

Despite this fact, not one person has ever seen the so-called Forest Overseer in the flesh.

However, the impact from the Forest Overseer was felt instantly.

Most hunters that went to the city to hunt found that the cursed creatures, avoided them—as opposed to attacking them like usual, and that helped them a lot. Hunters, were the only ones who could hunt in the forest.

On top of that, their menu was also limited to a couple of mutated animals.

Because of this limitation, it greatly helped them with the cursed creatures avoiding them.

Not that a lot of hunters remained now with the establishment of the teleportation formation.

Nevertheless, Evelyn could already guess who the Forest Overseer was.

An entity that is affiliated with the pack and can handle cursed creatures? It was obvious.

Soon, a trail of cursed energy appeared from the forest's canopies.

It landed before Evelyn and manifested into a woman in a black robe, the Witch of Chaos.

Compared to back when Evelyn saw her last, she was different.

Something about her changed, the mystery and air of hidden power were replaced by the air of defeat. Her once-proud, and dangerous eyes had lost their sharpness, dark circles framed her hollow eyes, and her skin was pale and bruised, stretched thin over a frail frame.

From Evelyn's perspective, she was now looking at an entirely different person.

It was not the Witch of Chaos that stood before her but someone else.

"Have you come here to mock me?"

"No, I came here to see the Witch of Chaos. But I don't see her anywhere,"

Evelyn looked at the Witch up and down with pity.

She was surprised inside that the Witch had been roughed to this state.

But then again, it was Rex that did this.

"The Witch of Chaos is dead, I'm the Forest Overseer. Please leave if you've seen enough"

"Is that it? Are you going to accept your fate? You don't aspire to break free again?"

Upon hearing this, the Witch slouched even further.

Even throughout their brief conversation, she never once looked Evelyn in the eyes.

And now, shoved these questions, she shuddered in fear.

Seeing her reaction prompted a frown to appear on Evelyn's face.

"I'm not sent here by Rex, you don't need to be tense"

"How can I trust you? You're the one who betrayed me and left me behind"

"Betrayed you? I'm simply preventing you from betraying me, and as for leaving you behind, I do apologize. But frankly speaking, my mind is not quite sane at that moment. Don't act like I caused you to be here, your actions did"

Biting her lower lip, the Witch turned around, intending to leave.

She didn't want to stay here and dwell in regrets.

"I came here because I need the Witch of Chaos, I need your power, and I will pay for it"

Evelyn stopped her, being truthful to her intentions.

Despite her reluctance, the words sparked a small flicker of ambition inside the Witch.

She stopped and glanced over her shoulder.

"I don't know what Rex did to Dealkandrax but your other insect child was still trapped inside the Fifthborn's spear. I could help you retrieve it—but only if you agree to help me," Evelyn in confidence promised the fragrant forbidden fruit. "Interested?"

Pausing for a good second, the Witch averted her gaze and disappeared.

Evelyn watched her leave with a small sigh.

'Seemed like she didn't trust me and even with the enticing offer, her eyes barely budged'

'Rex... you're always going overboard. She's traumatized'

Albeit the talk ended up in a failure, Evelyn didn't mind, she was certain this wouldn't last.

"Of course not. I'm ruthless and mad but not apathetic"

"I'm pretty sure ruthless and mad is another trait for someone who is apathetic"

Laughing in hubris, Rex channeled his red force to the sole of his feet, and leaped powerfully again. He climbed the sky very high, making sure that there were no mutated animals around before jumping higher again.

Meeting Dravatar this high would be bad so he needed to be attuned to his surroundings.

If he wanted to fly, he could use Amanir's gladiator form.

But Amanir was still meditating, and he didn't mind a little bit of trouble—and letting the lazy but now motivated spirit meditate. It was not like he would fall to his death. But wait, I think I might really die if I fell. Would I die? This is the second breath, the gravity might be stronger.

"Just why do we have to be this high?"

"We're meeting a God. Of course, we should be very high"

"Is that really the reason?"

"No, it's not—the world's energy is weaker when there are no mortals around"

Soon enough, Rex and Liliya reached the appropriate height—reaching the stratosphere.

Rex then created a stepping platform with red force and put Liliya down.

Upon stepping on the platform, Liliya felt a chin run down her spine.

She was basically stepping on a thin layer of energy 30 miles above the ground.

Even though Rex wouldn't die from this fall, she most certainly will.

On the other hand, Rex went over to the side, stepping on another platform of red force.

System, direct me to the way to engrave this glyph.

As soon as that notification appeared, Rex's eyes witnessed a bluish light, directing him to make the stroke to make the glyphs he bought from the System earlier. He bought them in preparation for this moment.

Following the indicator strokes, he used his drew his own blood and began drawing.

Flunra had made a similar gesture before for creating powerful runes.

Considering the price of these glyphs in the millions, they must also be powerful glyphs.

Liliya watched from behind as Rex drew one glowing glyph on the right using his blood.

He then proceeded to create more glyphs on the left, back, and front.

It took almost a full ten minutes and Rex stopped after finishing the front glyph.

"Krggh..." He groaned, holding his throbbing forehead.

Upon seeing that, Liliya's breath was caught in her throat when she saw the platform under her was flickering from Rex's loss of focus. She was so scared that her face went pale—the height was not something she was used to.

"A-Are you okay? Take a brief rest first" She said, her voice trembling.

Rex shook his head, "One more glyph. It's going to be fine, trust me"

Even though his head was throbbing right now as drawing those glyphs took a lot of mental prowess, he knew that one more, would not be a problem. Going higher, Rex began drawing the last one that should be above.

Keeping his composure throughout, he managed to draw the last glyph.

Swish!

As the last notification appeared, the glyphs gradually glowed brighter.

They began connecting with one another.

From above, the connection of these glyphs created a crescent moon shape.

In the middle, Rex then drew a mark that emitted an otherworldly air despite giving no aura.

As if the mark wasn't supposed to be known and be in this world.

"I depleted more than half of my gold for this, I better make this worth it..." Rex mused before he gazed skywards as if he was looking directly at the Gods. "Answer my call, I know you can not refuse this"

Rex smirked as he summoned the remains of the Great Luna.

He placed it at the top edge of the formation.

On the other hand, he moved Liliya to the back edge of the formation.

Glancing over to her, Rex gave her a thumbs up, "Ready? You want me to count?"

"Just do it, surprise me. I don't want a countdown..." She mused nervously.

It was natural for her to feel like this.

After all, this was her first time being a vessel for a Goddess.
