The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 979 Puzzling Construct

Now, it was only a waiting game for her.

Rex\'s part must be completed first before she can do her part in taking down the Executor.

It was all on his shoulders now or the plan would be a complete failure.

Even though she was meditating and being idle inside the underground chamber, in order to keep on the good side of Rex, she asked her children to surveil the surroundings, searching for any potential threats that were silently approaching Dargena City.

Thus far, their findings indicate nothing out of the ordinary.

However, her peace was disrupted when a figure came barging into her chamber brazenly.

Not even needing to open her eyes, she knew that it was Evelyn.

An obvious concern could be seen on her face as she barged inside, indicating that there was an urgent matter that was haunting her mind, "Witch, I want to push forward our move. Regardless of the challenges, I want it to be done now. Help me do that"

Upon hearing this, the Witch of Chaos\' eyes twitched lightly.

"It\'s not possible, go back, Luna" She replied, still keeping her eyes closed in meditation.

Evelyn wasn\'t accepting any refusals, she advanced and seized the Witch\'s collar without a trace of hesitation. Her eyes radiated with a violet glow, revealing the surging Luna energy on the brink of unleashing its power.

Only then, the Witch of Chaos opens her eyes and sees Evelyn\'s determination.

"I want it to be done, now..." Evelyn repeated.

Despite being angered at the audacity of the Luna to do something like this to her, the Witch remains calm and reiterates, "If I said it\'s not possible, then it\'s really not possible, Evelyn. If we move right now, then it would jeopardize the plan for the Executor"

"Calidora is still an essential piece for this phase" She explains as clearly as possible.

But this made Evelyn\'s legs tremble a bit.

Seeing this, the Witch moved a soft cushion from the side to support Evelyn as she slumped to the ground in helplessness. She was dealing with stress, compounded by the relentless times everything was going in the opposite direction of what she wanted made it agonizingly difficult for her to come to terms with the situation.

Inspecting Evelyn\'s expression, the Witch knew what this was all about.

It was written clearly on her face.

"If it\'s about the Hare Moon and the Alpha, then you don\'t need to stress about it," She said.

Evelyn raised her gaze questioningly, "Why is that...?"

"After the Executor is done, you will get your revenge on Calidora. A little loss right now in exchange for that in the future, I don\'t know about you, but I\'ll gladly play the long run and savor my inevitable triumph" the Witch continued, giving some sort of console to Evelyn.

Surprisingly, it made Evelyn feel a little bit better.

However, there\'s one thing that stuck in her mind, \'I hope she\'s right, this is just a little loss...\'

Contrary to what Evelyn was thinking, the Witch also seemed to be troubled.

\'Eternal Curse... It shouldn\'t be stronger than my curse as the Witch of Chaos, I should be at the very top of the cursed prowess, but how come that Vampire Princess, Calidora is able to break through faster than me...?\' She pondered, finding Calidora annoying.

As the Witch of Chaos, she\'s sensitive to the growth of curses in the world.

Over the past few days, she detected a surge of cursed energy emanating from the direction of the Vampire\'s territory. It was unmistakably Calidora, she was growing rapidly, and the Witch of Chaos couldn\'t understand why.

\'Based on the grimoire, her curse must\'ve mutated. But how did she trigger that?\'

It was puzzling her mind recently.

The Witch of Chaos couldn\'t fathom how Calidora was able to outpace her in becoming stronger. But this could be through luck, something she achieved unknowingly. Nonetheless, this didn\'t diminish the looming threat Calidora posed to her dominion of power.

Despite her contemplation, she also has another troubling thought in her mind.

Her advancement is starting to slow down.

Almost as if something was hindering her growth, which is why she sought alternative paths to bolster her strength. But through helping Evelyn needs to wait. Despite Calidora\'s threat, the Executor remains the paramount threat, and she needs to focus on that.

Inside Kyran\'s bed chamber.

Ryze and Naela were the only ones left behind as the others went outside.

Both of them feel uneasy as Kyran didn\'t seem to be moving from his spot, he was immobile, akin to a statue with his gaze steadfastly fixed ahead. However, to Naela\'s surprise, she saw a peculiar gleam in his eyes that appeared out of nowhere.

Abruptly, Kyran stood up from the bed and stood upright.

Upon seeing this, Ryze and Naela exchanged looks at each other before suddenly,

Crash!

Kyran hurled the bed to the opposite side of the room with one swift motion, leaving the two observers astounded. Disregarding their gasps of surprise, the tip of his index claw glowed a bluish light as he began to inscribe something on the ground.

Snapping out of their dazes, Naela quickly approached him, "Kyran, what\'s wrong?"

Her question was answered with silence.

In a reflexive move, Ryze also jumped in and tried to stop Kyran from drawing something on the ground. However, he was taken aback by the unexpected strength Kyran displayed. It feels like an immovable rock, Ryze couldn\'t budge him at all.

Despite he should\'ve been stronger, Ryze found himself unable to stop Kyran.

Soon enough, the drawings came to be.

As Ryze attempted to stop Kyran from what he was doing, Naela\'s gaze remained fixed on Kyran\'s fingers meticulously tracing patterns in the ground. She couldn\'t shake the concern that he might be possessed, sketching something that could pose a threat to them.

If it\'s a summoning then that\'s not going to be good for them.

However, it was not a summoning.

Naela knitted her eyes and found that it was a puzzling, yet carefully crafted construct.

Having no idea about what this construct was, which didn\'t look like rune formation or array, Naela hurried outside to call for Flunra who was in the throne room. Returning back to the bed chamber, Flunra and Adhara instantly saw what Naela was talking about.

Looking down at the construct, Flunra frowned, he also couldn\'t decipher what it was.

From a glance, it looked like a weirdly shaped form.

Since it didn\'t emanate any form of energy or gatherings of energy, Flunra was certain that this construct was not a rune or anything similar. Despite his extensively vast knowledge, he found himself unable to comprehend what lay before him, prompting him to turn his gaze towards Kyran, who knelt on the ground.

"Kyran, can you tell us what this is?" Adhara asked, trying to see if he would answer.

But he didn\'t, he remained silent and absent-minded.

Upon seeing this, Flunra knelt in front of him and examined him. He was searching for any sign of possession as from the start, waking up from hibernation of the Ice and Snow Full Moon ahead of the designated time is not something ordinary.

If he had to guess, something might\'ve happened.

\'I distinctly recall a Werewolf describing the Ice and Snow Full Moon hibernation as more than just sleep—it\'s akin to being ensnared awake in a dreamland of the Ice and Snow realm, forced to endure extremes of bone-chilling cold. One can have better treatment if they won a duel against monsters in that realm\'

Based on that Werewolf\'s description, Flunra assumed that Kyran did something.

Something that allows him to wake up sooner.

However, Flunra couldn\'t tell what Kyran did, this was all completely foreign to him.

"Naela, go and call Prof. K here. I assume he might be able to help with this" Flunra said, he has absolutely no clue about the situation and hoped that a researcher like Prof. K would be able to understand the situation better.

Wasting no time, Naela quickly headed outside and did as she was told.

On the other hand, Flunra\'s gaze returned to the intricate pattern Kyran etched on the ground with his claw, his frown deepening. \'I may not understand the full picture, but this drawing should be able to offer some insights into the situation\'

...

Meanwhile, back to Calidora\'s castle.

Profound silence enveloped the castle, the midnight hours having long elapsed, rendering the air inside this hollow castle colder. Additionally, the absence of any discernible source of heat would undoubtedly send ordinary humans into severe shivers.

A whistling sound was the only sound in the background.

Created by the night air, dancing through the glazed window, and produces this relaxing melody of ethereal whistles. It was a melancholic serenade, a lullaby that was able to put even a baby asleep, echoing through the silent bed chambers.

Inside this bed chamber was a single figure.

Under the hypnosis of the night, Mavenna was sleeping soundly on the sofa to the side.

An unknown amount of time has passed since Rex left.

Just then, a solitary droplet of water traversed the ceiling like a slithering snake, coalescing into a lump before gracefully descending, meeting Mavenna\'s face with a soft impact. Even though its touch was tender, it gently disrupted Mavenna\'s slumber.

Her eyelids trembled as she positioned her body to a more comfortable position.

Another droplet fell again to her face.

But this time, it landed right on her eyelid, forcing her to slowly wake up from her slumber.

Mavenna took a very deep breath when she woke up, as if she wasn\'t naturally breathing when she was asleep earlier. Still swathed in drowsiness, she sat up, rubbing her eyes in an attempt to reclaim the fragments of her soul still lingering in dreamland.

"Eugh... That was refreshing" She moaned in delight.

Pausing for a second, she then turned to scan the entire chamber absent-mindedly.

Observing the lingering Hare Moon on the verge of fading in the sky through the glazed window, Mavenna also discovered the bed vacant, devoid of any trace of Rex. With a languid yawn, she wondered aloud, "Hoam~ Where could he be? If he\'s awake already, why didn\'t he roused me as well?"

However, as she thought of that, her mind soon clicked that she was inside a castle.

It was only then her eyes widened and she sprung up instantly.

"What...?" She uttered, completely in shock. "Did I doze off? Wasn\'t I meant to be with Sir Rex, accomapnying him to fulfill that Vampire\'s request?" Mavenna\'s mind raced, she was totally aghast on how she could be that reckless and fall asleep.

But then again, she has never fallen asleep suddenly like that, not even once in her life.

Thus, she reached to one solitary conclusion.

\'She did something to me, I\'m certain. Otherwise, I wouldn\'t have been so reckless\' Mavenna thought, laying the blame on the sole suspect, Calidora. However, considering Calidora\'s tone dripping with sarcasm and threat, it was very likely that she was the culprit.

Not idling any longer, she quickly made her way out to assess the situation.

Mavenna hoped that it was still in process, Calidora taking Rex\'s blood that is so that she could anticipate if she tried to do anything. Just as she roamed about the hallway, she abruptly stopped when she sensed a presence inside the throne room.

Frowning, she took a peek inside and found Calidora sitting on her throne again.

Her triumphant look could be seen from a mile away.

Announcing her presence blatantly, Mavenna walked into the throne room with her gaze fixed on Calidora. Her eyes then squinted before she stopped, "Seems like I was wrong... Those eyes, they are not the Eyes of Phantasm, aren\'t they?"

Upon hearing this, Calidora chuckled sweetly, her cherry lips curving into a daunting smile.

"No... No, they are not indeed" She replied condescendingly.
