The Invincible Full-Moon System-Chapter 1241: Angelic Note

"I saw what you did to Delta, can you do it to other mutated animals?"

Earlier before Rex departed to the Dark Elf Kingdom for the Divine Chalice, he came back to the castle and instantly came to meet with Calidora. He had already taken a fresh air to cool his mind, and that was all he needed to push on. fгeewebnovёl.com

Aside from doing the Race Evolution Quest and healing the Countess, he had one more thing.

He wanted to turn Caraptaros into a Werewolf.

But in order for him to do that, he needs to weaken Caraptaros greatly.

One ingredient, that the System suggested, was a specific mutated snake's venom—but that was suggested, before the Second Breath happened. Now that the world changed, with a lot of ninth-rank realm mutated animals roaming around, he tallied there would be other kinds of mutated snake that could weaken Caraptaros' durability.

Finding them, however, would be a problem for Rex as he has no time on his hands.

Due to that, he remembered the incident between Calidora and Delta.

"Hmm? What did I do?" Calidora asked, sitting on the edge of the bed and crossing her legs.

Rex then replied, "Delta was hostile to you, but you tamed her easily"

"Ah... that," She eventually nodded, understanding what Rex meant. "It's easy to do, actually, I only need to hypnotize her by making her perceive me, as someone she trusts. It wasn't me taming her. My eyes are quite useful, and it's all thanks to you"

Upon hearing this, Rex cleared his throat, "So, can you do it on other mutated animals?"

"Not all, most of them don't have someone they trust but I could try," Calidora replied.

Nodding his head, he then proceeds to ask her to find the mutated snake with a venom that has a weakening effect, not a lethal effect. Since Rex rarely asked her for anything Calidora, as expected, was excited to help him.

...

Back to the present.

Oblivious to what Evelyn was thinking, Rex glanced his eyes around.

He recalled that moment with Calidora because he could sense her blood energy nearby.

It was the mutated animals she hypnotized.

Even though she was weakened from having her blood energy sucked by the baby inside of her—she was still far, from being weak. I was hoping for Calidora to at least look around the Humming Damned Forest, but to think she was able to go even beyond the Chrono Hollow.

Naturally, Rex was impressed by this.

Shifting his focus back to the moment, the group eventually reached the rock formation.

Climbing it was rather easy, the backside of the rock formation was not a steep slope.

Upon reaching the top, Rex shoved Catherine forward.

"Call for your friends," He instructed sternly. "Don't even try anything, it's useless"

In response, Catherine glanced at Rex with a malleable gaze, her golden eyes were pleading but she was met with Rex's crimson, demanding gaze, that brooked no refusal. Having not a single choice other than this, she turned to the horizon, and began to helplessly channel her holy energy.

Swish...

Her form glowed and shimmered with a golden light, befitting the Angel she was.

Rex watched the flow of her energy closely from behind.

And surprisingly, he made an interesting observation as he gazed up at the clear bright sky.

She was weak, but her energy doubled, almost tripled suddenly.

Unlike Werewolves who drew power from the moon or the Undead who drew power from the surrounding death, Catherine seemed to draw power from the sky. On top of the energy that was inside her, she was supplied by more holy energy coming from the sky.

Observing this, Rex realized that Angels would always have an advantage in fights.

As long as the sky was above, they were empowered. Nighttime shouldn't be a problem too.

Rex squinted his eyes in response, as he came to the realization of why the Angels were said to be on par with the Demons in the ancient past and was also considered by many to be the stronger race. If they had empowerment, essentially at all times, it was natural for them to be a dominating force.

Soon, the golden light concentrated around the halo behind Catherine's head.

Following that, a harp made entirely of golden energy manifested before her.

Catherine cast one last pleading look at Rex, but his expression remained resolute. Sighing at the helpless situation—she sat down, on a golden chair, and began playing the harp. Her hair, long and blazing golden fluttered as she played, breezed by her energy.

But despite her serious demeanor, Rex couldn't hear a single note from her plucking fingers.

Frowning, he thought that Catherine was messing around.

As he was about to get angry, Evelyn grabbed his arm and stopped him, "Wait..."

"Wait for what? I couldn't hear anything" Rex replied in confusion.

Even then, Evelyn kept her eyes glued onto Catherine, "I think it's not for our ears"

Rex paused when he heard this and turned back to Catherine, still playing the harp seriously.

It lasted for a few minutes before she eventually stopped.

"Eughh..." As soon as Catherine stopped playing, Mavenna could finally breathe again.

Upon hearing this, Rex turned towards her and saw her pale, "What happened to you?"

"An Angel, playing a harp, hello? I'm a Succubus" Mavenna replied irritatedly.

Since both Rex, and Evelyn were fixed on Catherine's performance—they didn't realize that Mavenna was suffering on the side. She had to cover her ears the whole length of the play. She wanted to go away, but the leash was not that long for her to go anywhere.

<Notice: A Demon has a primordial instinct to be displeased by holy energy>

Reading the notification, Rex nodded as he found it logical.

Just like Catherine who didn't like bad things, Mavenna also doesn't like holy energy.

"So, where are they?" Rex asked instantly as soon as Catherine was done.

Upon hearing this, Catherine evaporated the golden harp and chair and turned towards Rex.

"I don't think they were around, I couldn't reach them..." She uttered lightly.

Looking at Catherine with probing eyes—Rex clicked his tongue in displeasure as he couldn't tell whether she was lying, or not. Her fear of him was a potent smokescreen—her heart was always pounding and her micro-expressions were also overshadowed.

But instinctively, Rex felt that Catherine was lying.

"Fine, let's go further. We'll try it in a different place," Rex said before they moved again.

After that—the group made numerous visit to high grounds and let Catherine play her song.

Since it was the first failure to find the other Angels, Rex, and the others did not mind, it was not that any of them were expecting to meet the other Angels with one try. However—as the failures grew in number, frustration began to surface.

It was already getting late, the sun was about to set, and there were still no results.

Currently, the group is about a hundred miles away from the Chrono Hollow.

Unlike the terrain, that was a wet grassland before, they were now in the extreme terrain of a desert—as far as the eyes could see. Catherine was playing the end of her mute song on the top floor of an abandoned cone-shaped castle.

Evelyn and Mavenna worried that the castle might be ruled over by something.

But fortunately, there was no ruler of this castle albeit there were a lot of mutated scorpions.

As of this moment, Rex and Mavenna were holding them back.

In order to let Catherine play her song undisturbed, both were kicking the mutated scorpions down the spiraling stairs, acting as a bulwark to the top floor. Evelyn, who was standing right behind Catherine, saw that her song had ended.

"What about now, anything?" She asked.

Upon hearing this, Catherine paused for a second before she stuttered, "N- No..."

Evelyn frowned when she heard this, 'Usually—she always replied instantly out of Rex's fear, but now there was a brief hesitation in her answer. She was being truthful until this moment, she's definitely lying now'

Suspicious, Evelyn stepped forward and held Catherine by her shoulder, "Tell me the truth,"

"I'm here, and I could help you by persuading Rex to spare your friends. But in order for me to do that—you need to tell the truth. Did you find one of your friends?" She continued—making use of soft persuasion.

As opposed to telling the truth, Catherine shook her head, "No, I found nobody"

She then glanced over to Rex, who was mostly watching over Mavenna blocking the mutated scorpions and occasionally swatting some that managed to go past her, "Don't try to trick me—It's you who would kill my friends if I found them"

Hearing the sudden remarks, Evelyn was taken aback, "What makes you say that?"

"Him..." Catherine pointed at Rex. "His presence is radiating with evil, but I don't know, I can't really picture him being dirty. He threatened me and seemed vicious—but I can't picture him, dirtying himself with blood, he's too grand to do that"

Rex's royal attires and knowing that he was the Emperor made Catherine think that.

He threatens, but he wouldn't stoop low enough to do the bad things himself.

On the other hand, Catherine had seen many people like Evelyn, graceful but sadistic inside.

Upon hearing this, Evelyn shook her head and smiled wryly, 'She really doesn't know Rex...'

Contrary to refuting Catherine's words—as that would be harder to do, Evelyn decided to go along with her, "You got me," She said, chuckling lightly. "You have a knack for sensing evil— as expected of an Angel so let me be blunt... I'm getting impatient here,"

Feeling the hot air turning cold, Catherine glanced over to Evelyn and gasped.

She was greeted by Evelyn's eyes gleaming purple with malice.

"I don't care about your friends, our enemies are the Angel legion that came to our continent uninvited. But if you keep dragging this alone—a few words from me and your Angels will be treated the same as the Angel legion.

I don't know the situation in your home continent—but here, we have the power, and all high-rank Supernatural races and also Humans would unite to take you down," Evelyn threatened, her tone dripping with evil intentions.

"If I say so, they would be face-down against the earth by the end of this day" She added.

Listening to this, Catherine gulped harshly, sweating at the threat.

Biting her lower lip, feeling that Evelyn was being serious, she eventually yielded.

Facing her golden harp again she plucked a couple of strings and turned to face Evelyn once again, "I called him already, he will be here in a few minutes if he rushes. Please, don't punish him for trying to save his own race..."

Cracking a smile, Evelyn nodded, "That would depend entirely on him,"

Striding away, she went over to Rex and reported to him about the good news.

Meanwhile, several miles from the castle where Rex and the others resided, a settlement of a few thousand desert Orc, thrived. A combination of multiple tribes, and their pale brown skin, burly bodies, and muscles marked them unmistakably as desert dwellers.

Among them stood a man who seemed out of place.

From his stature alone, he was obviously not an Orc, but rather a Human instead.

Clad in a simple white, and gold cloak with buzz-cut white hair—he had a beautiful levitating white lance, behind him. As of this moment—he was conversing amicably, with a desert Orc, but as they spoke, his eyes flickered, his eardrums catching a familiar note.

'Catherine...? Why is she here? And why is she calling me?' the man pondered in confusion.

Realizing that something must've happened—he glanced to the side, his countenance, was sharpening with recognition. Standing up, he turned to the desert Orc, "I'm sorry my friend, but I fear this is where I say goodbye. Thank you for the information..."

"Radiel-friend, no worry. Safe journey to you!" the desert Orc replied and waved his hand.

Upon bidding his farewell, the man, Radiel pivoted to the note's direction.

Swoosh!

With a simple shrug, a pair of astral wings materialized from his steel pauldrons, transforming into a physical form of white feathers. Making a powerful leap—he ascended into the sky like a bird, blitzing toward the source of the call.
