The Invincible Full-Moon System



Not one of the Dwarves expected this kind of progression.

Pushed by the desire to be approved, the human that they thought was normal, possibly a fire Awakened due to the heat emanating from him turns out to be another Supernatural, an actual Dragonman.

Additionally, he doesn't seem to be a normal Dragonman either.

It was when Ryze stretched his imposing draconic wings that a phenomenon happened.

The Rastrikan Demon legion felt an unusual pull as the hellfire within their bodies seemed to be drawn towards Ryze hovering in the sky, a phenomenon that couldn't be explained by the actions of a regular Dragonman, leaving them with only one possible conclusion.

A heavenly Dragonman!

Due to the hesitation and fear inside of him, he has been taking the sidelines.

But the words of encouragement from Adhara made him want to stand out, and the fanatical approval degraded his mind and made him turn berserk. Like a fabulous War God, Ryze levitates in the sky with the burning war hammer in his hand.

"I'll kill you all!"

Swoosh!

Unleashing an overbearing proclamation, a pair of horns stuck out of his head.

Ryze's entire demeanor instantly changed, his reptilian eyes dilated, and let out a completely different look. No meekness could be seen in his now sharp eyes, it was almost as if those eyes didn't belong to him anymore.

Crimson fire cloaked his entire form, so hot that it was able to heat the surroundings.

Even friendly force was affected by this.

Many Dwarves could feel their armor heating up and started steaming at the exposure of the crimson fire, and the same goes for the Rastrikan Demons as their skin-like armor gradually heated even more, cracking its surfaces.

When his aura reached its peak, Ryze put the war hammer on his shoulder.

"I am the Lord of Red! Rejoice to die by my flames!"

Roar!

A heartbeat later, Ryze flapped his wings, propelling him straight at the Rastrikan Demons.

Reacting with lightning-fast reflexes, three Demon Captains leaped and stood in his way. Each of them is fueling their tridents with demonic energies, preparing for a clash with the unexpected Dragonman.

However, the Demon Captains were not the only ones that managed to react quickly.

"Assist him! We're going on the offensive!" Huvuki exclaimed.

Not going to sit still himself, Huvuki slammed the War Maul of Glacia onto the ground and concentrated his ice power to create a shield in front of Ryze. It was melting at a fast rate, but enough to provide cushion to the Demon Captains' attack.

Crash!

With one sharp motion, the Demonic Captains thrust their tridents forward.

It hits the ice shield and shatters it completely.

But the ice shield was not there to protect Ryze at all times, it was there to specifically block the three Demon Captains' attack and allow him to land an attack of his own. And the ice shield did exactly that.

Ryze's savage expression tightened as he raised his fiery hammer up.

Heeding their King's command, the Dwarven Captains, mounting a big mutated bear pointed their hands forward and infused their earth energy into the fiery hammer. An enhancement that would cause destructive effects.

In that second, Ryze could feel the hammer becoming heavier and heavier.

Exerting all of his draconic strength, his muscles bulged as he swung it down powerfully.

Swoosh!

Due to the blunt surface of the hammer, it created a whistling sound as it descended.

Not knowing the extraordinary weight and force of the fiery war hammer, the Demon Captains raised their tridents again and tried to block the attack. But in the very next second, a realization came to them, it's a mistake to try and block it.

Crash!

Like three bullets, the three Demon Captains got plunged into the ground.

Ryze didn't stop there and flapped his wings to increase his momentum downward, it also turned the fiery war hammer in his hands into a literal meteor as he solely focused his power on this one attack.

Crack!

Kaboom!!

A powerful explosion of crimson fire sprouted and excavated the point of impact.

Since he landed squarely in the heart of the Rastrikan Demon legion, the resulting devastation was catastrophic. His impact sent numerous demons flying, igniting the entire forest in a fiery conflagration, all to display his desire and power of the Lord of Red.

It was so bad that even the ground shook violently.

Due to the impact that was loud and catastrophic, Rex's attention was pulled to it.

What's happening here?

Gazing at the towering explosion coming from the river the others were at, Rex frowned as such an explosion could only be caused by a powerful entity with a fire-related power. But Adhara is fighting, and the Dwarves are incapable of using fire-related power.

Obviously, the explosion is quite odd.

However, he soon realized that there was one entity amongst them that could do this.

Taking a brief pause to scrutinize the receding explosion closely, Rex discerned the presence of an entity amidst the chaos at the heart of the Rastrikan Demon legion. An entity that wielded a blazing hammer, embarking on a relentless slaughter of demons, hacking through their ranks left and right.

Ryze...? Is that really him?

Seeing Ryze battling the Rastrikan Demons, he was pleasantly surprised.

Furthermore, there appeared to be a notable shift in Ryze's personality. He no longer bore the docile or meek demeanor he once did, instead, he had undergone a complete and utter personality transformation. 

With each strike, newfound confidence emanated from him.

His eyes which were once filled with fear, now gleamed with unwavering determination.

Is it because of the training he had in the human territory, or something else?

Although it had been some time since he last saw Ryze, the extent of his transformation was surprising. Rex doubted that training alone in the human territory could account for such a significant change, he suspects that this was caused by something else.

Maybe Zaddrass' power caused a personality change in him.

<Warning! Hellfire Domain has been activated!>

Upon reading the notification from the System, Rex turned back to Adhara's fight again.

Earlier when Adhara finally combined her Werewolf form and Gladiator From, a fusion of both strength and magical prowess, she becomes on par against the two Demon Lords, showing that the fusion of power is extremely effective for her.

It was more so because her spirit, a violet serpent helped her in the battle.

Despite mostly watching the fights between Rex and his opponents, she didn't stay idle.

Observing the fight closely to implement it, she picked up a thing or two and is now able to perfectly utilize the sequester tactic that Rex frequently used against more than one opponent with similar strength.

Adhara was able to use her spirit to isolate a one-on-one fight with the Demon Lords.

Something that made Rex praised her attentiveness.

However, the tide of the battle changed as the two Demon Lords were not a pushover.

Demon Lord Mazel has had enough of the humiliation and caused his ultimate skill, a Hellgate Ruination called the Hellfire Incursion. It was a skill that immediately expanded to the surroundings and suppressed other energies aside from demonic energy.

Upon casting that, Adhara got beaten and was not able to retort back.

Her violet fire was suppressed heavily, and her spirit also in return became extremely weak.

Guess this is her limit. But it already exceeded my expectations, and I got all I needed.

Rex already grasped the fundamental fighting style of the two Demon Lords, he could already predict their movement and would have no problem in taking them both out before the final showdown with Demon Lord Kirgil.

"Now you die, Female Alpha! HAHAHA~"

Demon Lord Aructh laughed maniacally, lunging forward for the final strike.

Receiving a powerful slash from Demon Lord Mazel across her torso, Adhara staggered, and her mind was all over the place. It was even worse seeing that her regenerative ability starting to slow down, depicting her exhausted body.

But when the spears were about to reach her, something came crashing from the sky.

It was then that Demon Lord Aructh felt something grabbed him.

Crash!

Like a wooden board, his head was planted to the ground, stopping his momentum.

"Go back now and recover Adhara, you've done enough," An overbearing voice echoed, it was Rex who grabbed and slam Demon Lord Aructh's head into the ground. "I'll take it from here. It's time these two give me their answers"

Upon hearing this, Adhara shook her head, trying to regain her composure.

Eventually, she managed to be composed enough to stumble away.

Demon Lord Aructh gritted his teeth and tried to push himself up, his eyes were bulging in anger from being planted on the ground like this. But he found it hard to overpower the strength, gripping his head.

Not disturbed at the very least, Rex lifted him up and threw him away roughly.

Rex crossed his arms in front of his chest as Demon Lord Aructh crashed near Demon Lord Mazel, and quickly stood up with extreme anger. Both of them suffered a life-long humiliation in a single day.

"So, what is your answer?" Rex asked calmly, his eyes red and sharp.

Demon Lord Aructh growled in fury, listening to Rex's calm tone. "Answer what?!"

"Please refrain from shouting too much, it displeases me" Rex replied nonchalantly, picking his ears. "I already told you before, both of you have two choices. Either die and never be resurrected or kneel before me and beg for your lives" He added, declaring the same two choices.

However, Demon Lord Aructh scoffed in return, "You're in our domain, what can you do?"

Upon hearing this, Rex pondered for a brief moment.

"Oh, you mean this Hellgate Ruination?" He then chuckled, diminishing the threat of this domain. "Surely, you don't think this will work on me, do you? Out of the five Demon Lords, both of you are the lowest. What makes you think you can suppress me when Demon Lord Ranath and Olgaroz couldn't...?"

Smiling wickedly, Rex's aura then exploded like a surge of torrential, vicious energy.

It was so powerful that it pushed the two Demon Lords back, despite their efforts to stand their ground. Their feet left two dragged lines on the ground as they struggled to maintain balance. Even when they managed to regain their footing, the energy from Rex continued to intensify.

Putting their arms in front of them, the two conjured their demonic energies.

An attempt to protect themselves from the gushing energy.

But at that moment, the two Demon Lords saw Rex's aura slowly manifesting into a giant Werewolf that triumphed over anything in sight. Its appearance completely shattered the domain of Demon Lord Mazel's Hellgate Ruination.

Not even lasting for a minute, Rex's power shatters any suppression around the area.

"I'll give the two of you another chance to answer, but first..."

Swoosh!

Out of nowhere, Rex's aura climbed higher, sending danger signals to the two Demon Lords.

It made them both feel puny like an ant in front of such power.

Demon Lord Aructh and Mazel were completely petrified, the aura coming from Rex was too much. Both of them thought that they would have a chance in a two-against-one, but they were gravely mistaken.

Not even their combination of powers could amount to Rex's power.

Had the First Breath was not present, the earth would've split open by Rex's aura alone. When the two snapped to reality, breaking free from the magnetic effect of Rex's aura, both of them realized that they were back at the waterfall. 

Around them were the Dwarven Army and the Rastrikan Demon Legion.

Upon realizing that the three of them had arrived back at this place, the fight between them halted for a brief moment as the two forces were surprised. It was even more so for the Rastrikan Demons, seeing that it was the two Demon Lords that retreated back to the river.

Crash!

Just then, a powerful pulse exploded from Rex's body, draining the entire river to the bottom.

Rex who was still activating his kingly energy stood indomitably,  his might permeating the surroundings before he slowly straightened his spine. An evident King Mark on his forehead, glowing with only the red color.

"Now... I'll ask you again. Your answer will determine the course of this fight"

"Kneel before me or die and never be resurrected again. Choose carefully, Demon Lords..."
