Rex roared painfully, the ritual is still active as the Dark Moonlight Energy rushed into him like an endless current of water.
The pores on Rex's body are forced open and it is starting to becomes red because of the intensity, Rex got careless and thought he can do the ritual without preparing himself.
It's only been 5 minutes into the ritual but his mind is ready to pass out, the Dark Moonlight Energy fills every inch of his body like a raging vortex.
Rosie on the side got worried, she can see that Rex is suffering inside the current of Dark Moonlight Energy.
The energy is relentless, it greedily gets inside Rex non-stop.
Rex's mind is already engulfed by pain, he can't focus on executing the breathing technique anymore and he is on the verge of passing out.
'I can't pass out or I'll die!!', Rex thought trying so hard to resist.
The system sent danger notifications over and over again but Rex can't move his body, he can't think anymore and his vision becomes blurry.
In a panic, Rosie makes a wind blade and slashes the orbs surrounding Rex.
The orb got slashed in half but the ritual didn't stop, she gritted her teeth and slash the remaining two orbs.
Swiftly after the third orb got slashed, the suction force disappeared and the statues crumble to the ground.
Rosie runs towards Rex and caught him before falling to the ground, Rex's body is steaming but Rosie gritted her teeth and endure the heat from Rex's body.
She held Rex's head worriedly, "Rex, Rex! Answer me! Hey!", she said while tapping Rex's face trying to wake him up.
Rex's mind is dizzy and his body is steaming, he can only see Rosie's blurry worried expression and her voice is echoing on his ears before he fell unconscious weakly.
The main branch of UWO in Ratmawati City,
Sebrof is sitting in his room leisurely while reading through countless reports, the reports make a mountain of papers on his desk.
Judging from his looks, Sebrof is already in a very bad mood.
Then a man wearing glasses that look like a secretary walks inside the room,
He then bowed respectfully and said, "President Sebrof, the guilds will rally Zrolis City tomorrow. They already scouted Zrolis City and confirms that Brutal Grey is still there, outside of that there is no other report"
"Good, I want to get a detailed report on Zrolis City. Tell them to send a group to search for the looted Elemental Stones, the High-Grade Elemental Stone can't be stolen"
The assistant bowed deeply and replied, "I will make sure to inform them"
Just as the assistant wants to leave the room, he suddenly remembers, "Oh sir, they also said that the evacuated resident of Zrolis City is rioting to the guilds. They said for all the taxes they paid, instead of the Awakened, the people they called Black Hand is the first to lend a helping hand for them and they are unwilling to pay taxes anymore"
"WHAT?! Black Hand? What do they look like?", Sebrof shouted in shock.
The assistant lowers his head, "It's them, sir, the residents said they are Un-Awakened that has the power to rival Awakened. They also have a..."
"a black crow tattoo", Sebrof murmurs before the assistant nodded his head.
Sebrof is fuming with anger, his face went red before he gets up from the chair abruptly and slams the table.
His eyes are filled with anger, "This wouldn't happen if the guilds cooperate!! Now look at the situation, the people will start relying on this black hand more and more!!"
Sebrof glances at the assistant fiercely that makes the assistant flinch, he points his fingers at the assistant, "Tell the guilds, if there's an attacked city make sure to get there under 6 hours!! I don't care what it takes! If they don't, I will get down there and disciplined them myself!"
Hearing this, the assistant nodded his head repeatedly before leaving the room hurriedly.
Jarvald is walking toward a woman clad in a black dress that is surrounded by four creatures,
These four creatures are definitely the woman's guard, they look fierce and emits a dangerous aura but Jarvald doesn't mind their aura.
The four creatures have different skin colors, there are red, blue, green, and brown respectively.
The red-skinned creature has a T-shaped burning horn that comes out of its forehead, its body is emitting black smoke that makes it look like the messenger of hell itself. the blue-skinned creature is the weirdest, its body is glandular, it has fins coming out of its spine and its hand is like a fish, made to swim.
The brown-skinned creature is made of wood, it wears spiky armor and it doesn't have a head instead is a bunch of roots growing on its head. The green-skinned one is a creature that has four arms, its body is covered by green fur, there is an extra layer of fur on his back that looks like a cape.
The four of them are different but there is one similarity, there are four black dots on their foreheads.
One will instantly recognize these four creatures, they are the Haltija or also known as Nature's Embodiment.
"Welcome Princess Calidora, please pardon the messy place", Jarvald said politely although his expression said otherwise.
Princess Calidora scoffed, "Drop the pretense Jarvald, Just take me around the place"
Hearing this, Jarvald then smiles smugly, "Well if you say so"
He straighten his back proudly and continues, "I'm sorry princess, I'm busy. I will let Vivian accompany you on your little tour", he said before leaving the princess.
Princess Calidora threw her face away before she left with Vivian followed by the Haltija,
Zrolis City is destroyed but there are some houses or equipment that are scattered everywhere, but the houses attract Princess Calidora the most.
Princess Calidora then enters one of the houses excitedly,
The inside of the house is spacious, a casual style with a TV, Radio, and Furniture are all decorating the living room.
"What is this thing? Is it a treasure?", Princess Calidora points at the TV and asks excitedly, her eyes contain stars as she glances left and right.
Vivian glances at the TV, "It is an entertainment item that can show moving images"
Hearing this, Princess Calidora's interests are piqued.
She presses the buttons on the Tv randomly before suddenly,
Princess Calidora got excited but soon she turns gloomy, the TV only shows a buzzing black and white current with no moving images.
Princess Calidora sighs, "Maybe this item can only be used by Humans"
After that, Princess Calidora went upstairs curiously.
Upstairs she found bedrooms, she sits on the bed and felt good for some reason, "This item is so fluffy, do they use it to meditate?", Princess Calidora asks.
"No, they use it to sleep", Vivian replied flatly.
"Sleeping? I want it!", Princess Calidora said, the Haltija takes the bed before they destroyed the wall and jumped down to place the bed outside.
Vampires or rather any other Supernatural rarely sleep, they don't need to sleep, unlike humans.
The only time Vampires are sleeping is when they got no blood for a while which results in their body stiffening and they will be forced to sleep until they got blood from somewhere.
After getting the bed, Princess Calidora then stumbles into the bathroom.
She glances at her right and found a mirror there, "Is that, me?"
The mirror shows a beautiful woman portrait clad in a black dress, the front of the dress is V-shaped that exposes her breasts a little. Her shiny purple eyes look mesmerizing, the fangs poke out perfectly, beautiful curves on the perfect places, and her face was overwhelmingly beautiful as if the best artist carved her face carefully and creates a masterpiece anyone will not forget.
Princess Calidora reaches out her slender hands and gently touches the portrait of her in the mirror, she was stunned by the mirror.
But suddenly, the fire-skinned Haltija interrupts her daze, "Princess, I'm sorry but I think we should resume your inspection. I believe we may not have that much time left"
Hearing this, Princess Calidora bite her lips, "Take this item, I want this"
The Haltija immediately takes the mirror carefully before they all resume their inspection.
The next day, Rex opened his eyes.
He blinked his eyes a couple of times adjusting to the surrounding, Ugrok's hut interior immediately greeted him as he opens his eyes,
Rex wakes up from the bed with difficulty, he held his buzzing head while he looks around the hut.
He only found the baby Cyclop sleeping beside him peacefully, Adhara and Rosie are nowhere in sight and the place is silent.
Rex began to worry, just when he's about to get up he saw his hands already returned to normal.
'The Dark Moon has ended?! Did I reach the next evolution?', Rex thought before he opened his stats tab.
Pack: Silverstar (1/2)
Level: 20 (42,000/650,000)
Full-Moon: 26 Days - Yule Moon
Attributable Stats: 15
Reading this, Rex was relieved.
Rex remembers what happened last night, 'Thanks to Rosie I survived the ritual, If she's a minute too late then I will probably die because of the Dark Moonlight Energy'
He then notices that he also got a fire-resistance passive skill from the ritual before, and also he felt his regeneration properties have strengthened.
The user is blessed by the Kapres after successfully using the breathing technique, gives the user resistance against fire-related skill or spells by 10%.
He nodded his head because he buys the technique just for this, it will be useful against Kevin.
Rex then walked out of the hut, he wanted to find the others but to his surprise, they are grilling meat in a bonfire.
Adhara is wearing a blanket because her clothes are ripped off because of the transformation, she held a cup of hot water in her hand.
Rosie and Ugrok seem to get along fine as well, they both threw jokes at each other although Ugrok's joke doesn't seem right.
"What did you do for fun back in your town?", Rosie asks curiously.
Ugrok laughs loudly while slapping his thighs, "Ugrok used to watch Ugrok's father crush animal's skull for fun, it is exciting when Ugrok's father beat the chief leader"
Rosie smiles awkwardly, 'What the heck is fun about that'
Adhara notice Rex approaching, she threw her face away weirdly.
"Hey guys, How long have I been passed out?", Rex asks while sitting beside Adhara.
Rosie flinched before replying, "Not long, only half a day probably"
Rex nodded his head, he then looks at Adhara curiously, "So, how did it felt? Are you afraid of the full moon now?", Rex teased Adhara.
Instead of fear, Adhara's cheeks suddenly blushed, "It hurts but...I want to feel it again"
Hearing this, Rex was speechless, "WHAT THE HELL! YOU CRAZY WOMAN!"
