The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 1258: A Helping Hand



Meanwhile, a couple of blocks away from the Silverstar Pack castle.

Inside a room filled with chemicals, and mechanical parts was Prof. K, he was currently being trapped in deep work as he gazed at the piece of the Chaos Spawn that he took on the table—and was experimenting on it.

As a researcher, he needs to find the answers to the questions inside his mind.

Initially, he was hoping to create a cure for the corruption.

Some of the Awakened who are corrupted are still suffering, and their bodies degrade more and more with each passing hour. Prof. K—as the only one capable of creating the cure, felt like it was his responsibility.

He needs to create a cure, at least to save those who would be corrupted in the future.

But doing that became increasingly hard.

A couple of days ago, the pure chaos energy sizzling from the piece was disappearing.

Prof. K was confused at this remembering that the Emperor, Rex needed to exert his power to evaporate the Chaos Spawn's head he gave back in the arena. It should be very resilient for Rex to exert that much energy to overpower it.

Now, the pure chaos energy from the piece was disappearing.

"Hmm... His Majesty must be erasing that knowing it contains corruption," Prof. K muttered.

Even though vanquishing it was extremely hard—if left alone, it might disappear on its own.

Just like the black dots in the arena back then, the world would repair it on itself.

As he thought that, Prof. K, shook his head, "No, this is not, the energy of the world's doings. If it was the world's energy, there should be dense and peculiar blue energy overwhelming it, but this looked more like the pure chaos energy disappearing on its own"

Instead of gaining answers, more questions appeared within Prof. K's mind.

Nevertheless, the disappearing pure chaos energy was a problem.

Prof. K still has more experiments to do but he was forced to rush through them.

As a result, it was not as good as he would've wanted.

Shockingly enough, as the last strand of the pure chaos energy, was about to disappear, the disappearance never happened. It lingered faintly, and was even becoming more active than before, swaying vigorously—a great development for Prof. K.

However, bad news came knocking on his door.

"Giana, can you get the door?" Prof. K asked, but he received no answer.

Looking over his shoulder, the sight of Giana lying on the bed in the corner of the room, with sweat, covering her entire body, greeted him—and this made him frown, "I really need to ask the Emperor to amend her, she has already made up for her mistakes"

Prof. K didn't know for sure what Rex did, but Giana was very susceptible to the full moon.

Just like last time, she easily turned berserk.

Even though this day would be the night of the Honey Moon, the effect from it was mild, as it was not a hostile full moon that made Werewolves berserk. Despite that, Giana was suffering as her body began to heat up.

Going to the door himself, Prof. K saw a city guard was the one who was knocking.

"Pardon me for interrupting you, sir, but I came to report to you about the Chaos Spawn," the city guard explained, instigating a confused look, from Prof. K. Not too long ago—he had told the city guards to bring the Chaos Spawn's carcass out of the city to suppress its corruption, it was too dangerous to leave it be inside the city.

And now, from the city guard's expression, something must've happened to it.

"Tell me, what happened?" Prof. K asked.

Recalling what he had seen, the city guard paused briefly before explaining, "I was a part of the team sent to relocate the Chaos Spawn's carcass. We decided to bury the carcass near the tallest tree in the forest, it was about three miles from the city gate"

"I don't know what happened, but as we went there the carcass melted," He added.

Upon hearing this, Prof. K's frown deepens, "Melt? What do you mean?"

"It melted, the entire carcass hummed with light purple light before it melted, while its energy evaporated and was blown away by the wind. Because of that, there was nothing to bury so I came here to inform you that" the city guard continued, explaining the best he could.

Prof. K placed a finger on his chin in contemplation.

"Since when did the carcass begin to lose its energy?" He eventually asked.

Pondering briefly, the city guard then answered, "A couple of days ago, four days ago I think"

'Around the same time, I discovered the piece was also losing its energy,' Prof. K thought.

He was trying to make a connection about the events inside his head.

"Oh..." Just then, the city guard, remembered something. "I don't know if this might help, but the energy coming out of the carcass didn't disappear completely. It was light but still there, it only disappeared when we were near that tall tree"

"Okay," Prof. K nodded. "Thank you for reporting this, you can go now"

Saluting towards him, the city guard turned around and left.

Closing the door, Prof. K went back to sit in front of the piece still glowing purple faintly.

"Just like this piece, it began to gradually lose its pure chaos energy with time but the main piece, the carcass itself lost its last strand of energy, and disappeared but this one did not, why...?" Prof. K looked at the piece intently in utter confusion.

Normally, the main body should sustain the longest but this was in reverse.

Akin to a lizard discarding its tail, the tail would die but the main body would still live.

But this incident was akin to the tail being alive while the main body dies out.

A paradox, and naturally, Prof. K was confused by this.

"Maybe the main body became this piece knowing that it would be erased but how did that carcass know that it was being erased? We aren't planning to do that, so that doesn't make sense," Prof. K muttered—voicing out his guesses. "Or maybe, there was an intervention? A third party that stopped this one from losing its energy and letting the main carcass die"

"If that's the case, how does it operate? How does it differentiate which one to be sacrificed? I'm sure it was not a living entity, since the city is secured," He added. But then—as he was in search of an answer, he heard a light cracking sound.

Focusing back on the small piece, Prof. K frowned when he unconsciously bumped into it.

"Oh, no, why am I being clumsy?" He hissed, trying to do something about it.

But then, he stopped when he saw the light pure chaos energy seeping out of the piece.

Prof. K stood up, eyes fixed on the trail of pure chaos energy that snaked through the air like a serpent, swaying left and right, wiggling ahead exactly like a serpent. Its undulating moves were almost mesmerizing to witness.

Knowing the danger of this energy, however, snapped Prof. K out of his trance.

Fear gnawed at him as he feared being corrupted.

Even the effect of working on the small piece was evident, Prof. K already felt unwell and he might need to stop his experiment, lest he became corrupted like the others. However, both of his eyes widened as the chaotic trail veered away from him, slipping out of the room.

He followed it cautiously from behind, watching as it seeped through the crack on the door.

Stepping outside, he saw the purple trail stretching down the empty street.

"Fortunately, nobody was around," Prof. K muttered, feeling relieved.

Now that he didn't need to worry others—his curiosity swelled but his frown deepened when he realized the trail led toward a crowded area. Catching up to the purple trail, he came to an abrupt stop when the trail ascended.

As opposed to heading to the people, it ascended over the hill.

His eyes widened in horror when he discerned its destination, "It's going to the castle...?"

"Don't tell me the third party was inside the castle" Prof. K added in concern.

Not wasting any second, he quickly ascends the hill, heading straight to the castle to check.

...

Meanwhile, Overclaw Village.

Despite going around the village in a frenzy—desperate to find someone who could lead her to the Bloodstone Crater, Vivian was still at a loss. She hadn't gained any helpful information to help her locate the Bloodstone Crater.

Last night, she was also forced to hide.

Prince Alaric was staying for the night in the village for some reason.

Since the entire village was giving a massive welcoming party for Prince Alaric, she noticed.

From the looks of it, Prince Alaric was beloved by the people.

Regardless of his demonic look, a hybrid between Demon and Werewolf, he was loved.

She never saw Prince Alaric and no one knew she was working with Rex.

But even then, she wanted to be very careful.

In her experience, the Prince and Princesses have powers beyond normal Werewolves similar to Rex so she feared that she might be exposed, somehow. However—because of being very careful, she was now running late.

Gazing upwards to the sky, she has about half a day before the duel is due.

Even the moonlight energy in the air was already incredibly dense.

As Vivian came out of a tavern after gaining nothing, now deciding to go to the Alpha Prime's turf to take risks, as the high-ranking Werewolves should know where, the Bloodstone Crater was, she noticed a figure leaning against the wall of the tavern beside the door.

Since she left the tavern through the back door, she emerged in a small alley.

Upon seeing the figure, her heart pounded but that didn't last long.

Fearing that it might be the Alphas from before, she found that the figure was a female.

Sighing lightly, she made her way to the left but was stopped.

"Looking for something?" the figure suddenly asked, stopping Vivian in her tracks.

Glancing over her shoulder, Vivian smiled calmly and raised a hand, "Sorry, I need to go"

Despite wanting to find information, she felt was odd about the female Werewolf and wanted to stay away from her if she could, 'She is a female Werewolf, who was alone, and seemed to not be bothered by being alone, she's weird. I need to stay out of her way'

As Vivian was about to leave, her heart sunk to her stomach as she stopped once again.

"In a hurry for who? Is it the Royal Black Prince?" the figure suddenly asked.

Vivian instantly sweated when she heard Rex being mentioned—she was also alerted, as she couldn't sense the figure's aura—she must be way stronger than her, "I've met with the Royal Black Prince before, and you have a faint trace of his scent on you"

Upon hearing this, Vivian gritted her teeth and made a rush ahead, trying to escape.

But as she made a turn, her eyes widened finding the figure was already there.

She was still leaning against the wall nonchalantly.

'How is she so fast?!' Vivian exclaimed inwardly, seeing no way to escape from this.

Knowing that struggling to flee wouldn't work, Vivian straightened her back and gazed at the figure—right in her glowing yellow eyes, "What do you want? If you plan on capturing me and squeezing me for information, don't bother, I'll kill myself if you come closer"

Seeing the determination in Vivian's eyes, the female Werewolf looked down and chuckled.

"Argghk!" Vivian grunted and looked down when she felt a sharp sting.

Gazing at her left calf she found a weird-looking mutated wolf biting her calf, sinking its teeth—sharp and deadly deep into her. Determined, Vivian wanted to use the precaution item, Rex gave her in time of peril but was stunned.

"I... I can't move my body" She muttered in aghast.

Just then, the female Werewolf chuckled again as she approached Vivian slowly.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to do any of that. In fact, I want to help you complete this mission of yours so I'd appreciate it if you allow me to help," the female Werewolf said—and it greatly surprised Vivian.

Vivian then saw the female Werewolf extending her hand with a smile on her face.

"My name is Kassandra," She introduced. "So, what does the Royal Black Prince want?"
