The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 1003 Silent Observer

Lured by the enchanting proposal, Kyran found himself nodding unconsciously.

He wanted to leave this place.

One of the giant Werewolves on the front handed over to the woman, Iseldra an icy block of parchment with writings that Kyran couldn't read. She took one look at it, and even though it didn't elicit a reaction from her, amusement could be seen in her eyes.

It seems something that delighted her was written on that icy parchment.

Shifting her eyes back to Kyran, she then mused, "Kyran Cervantes of the Silverstar Pack..."

"How do you know who I am?" Kyran asked in surprise.

However, he quickly retracted that question as it was a stupid question.

A Goddess such as Iseldra must've had oversight ability, knowing everyone that entered her domain leaned to a foundational power. Ignoring his question, Iseldra continued, "You have quite a record here, Kyran. 311 wins and 7 losses. I have watched you fight, and you've done well to entertain me, especially with that unique bloodline you have"

In order to satiate her boredom, she hosted this gladiatorial fight.

Every single Werewolf that was trapped in the slumber of Ice and Snow would need to fight.

If any one of them refused, then they would surrender themselves to death.

"Are you giving me the option to leave early since I've entertained you?" Kyran asked.

Kyran couldn't hide his smile as he felt a wave of reward as he asked this question, the fierce struggle that he pus on seemed to have paid off. He had been fighting with all he had just so that he could survive.

Due to the hundreds of fights, he learned a lot and even felt like he matured.

Compared to the time when he arrived here, he was confident that he could beat the version of himself easily with his current state. Despite the circumstances, he was able to make use of it and grow stronger.

Now, he only needs to come back to the others.

Even though he was completely cut off from the outside world, he assumed that the others were dealing with a great deal of problems right now. It has always been the case, problems have never ceased to stop coming at them.

By now, Kyran already accepted that it was their fate to be bombarded with problems.

It won't ever change, at least not in the short future.

Aside from contemplating the fact that he failed Rex and himself again, he also came to a realization that he was the one who needed to change. Problems will keep on coming, and the only thing that can change is how he and the others will deal with them.

Kyran was very eager to go out because of this.

"Speak only when I allow you to speak, mortal" Iseldra retorted, her eyes narrowing. Kyran's demeanor in her presence was not within her approval. "I'm able to offer you an early release from my domain, but it is not for you to decide when that moment arrives. I can merely grant an opportunity"

Upon hearing this, Kyran frowned, he didn't understand what she was saying.

'What did she mean about it's not for me to decide?' He wondered.

However, despite his evident confusion, Iseldra wasn't willing to elaborate and only raised her hand, manifesting her divine energy at her fingertips. It was akin to the very essence of ice and snow dancing in her hand.

Not even a ninth-rank realm with a Peak Ultimate Ice element was capable of recreating that.

"I want you to deliver a message for me, to your pack" Iseldra proclaimed, her countenance hardly changing throughout the encounter. "Because of the hubris of my esteemed siblings perched on their lofty steeds, I can only deliver the message through you. Deem yourself blessed for this bestowed opportunity, mortal"

After saying that, Iseldra shot her divine energy and hit Kyran squarely in the chest.

Kyran wasn't even given time to say anything.

Looking down at his body, he found that there was a thin layer of the Ice and Snow energy encompassing his entire body from head to toe. He looked at Iseldra one last time, burning her face to his mind before his body turned into energy and he sank into the ground.

He was sucked into the earth at a very fast pace.

It felt dizzy for a solid minute and when he recovered, he found himself in a different place.

Opening his eyes in gradual succession, Kyran acclimated to his surroundings, only to be warmly welcomed by a figure seated beside the bed, resting her head gently on his lap. It took a fleeting moment for Kyran to fully recognize the identity of the person.

'Is that... Is that Naela...?' Kyran pondered inside his head.

Although he wanted to turn his head around to see where he was, he found that he couldn't move his head or even any part of his body. He tried a couple of times but ultimately stopped as it was completely futile.

He decided to scan the room and found that he should be inside the castle.

But this made him even more confused.

If he really was inside the castle, then Naela shouldn't have any business here.

'Seems like Rex has already rescued me from the Witch, I should've expected it. Aside from that, something must've happened if Naela was here, but it should be a good sign that Rex has taken my advice to ally with the Dark Elves' Kyran pondered, he was happy that his advice was surprisingly accepted by Rex.

On top of that, he could also sense that there were many people outside.

Dargena City must've grown a lot since his slumber.

Just then, Naela stirred awake, her gasp escaping as she discovered Kyran with open eyes. 

Reacting promptly, she hurriedly rushed outside of the bed chamber to relay the news to the others. True to Iseldra's words, Kyran's body moved on its own. He conveyed the message she entrusted to him as soon as the rest had gathered.

Rex is nowhere to be seen, the familiar faces that he saw were Flunra, Evelyn, and Adhara.

However, Kyran was once again surprised to see Prof. K among them.

The moment he regain control, he would need to learn the situation of the city all over again.

It was on and off for him ever since his silent awakening.

Trapped in a state where his body remained unresponsive, Kyran assumed the role of a silent observer, fully conscious yet unable to move. There were instances when his mind drifted into a semblance of sleep, but more often than not, he remained awake.

He gained some information from the conversations of those around him.

It was not much but it's better than nothing.

Even though he was learning at a steady pace what the current situation was, the news bombshell happened today when Evelyn came inside his room and poured out her vexation which was all new to Kyran's ears.

"What do I do, Kyran? Should I trust him or not?"

Upon hearing her vexation, Kyran learned that Calidora had come back to haunt them again.

But he was confused as to why Evelyn was doubting Rex.

Despite Calidora's desire to eliminate her, Adhara, and Gistella from the equation, Kyran was surprisingly, regarded what she was trying to do as hardly a threat from his perspective. It wasn't that big of a deal in his opinion.

'What are you saying, Evelyn? If anything, your concern should be whether Rex would turn her into a Werewolf and make her join our pack. Fearing Calidora's attempt to remove you might succeed seems like underestimating Rex's love for you too much' He thought.

It was simply impossible in his view for Rex to abandon the three of them.

Especially due to all of the trauma he endured.

Kyran thought it was enough information to process today, but turns out it was not over.

Just when Evelyn was about to leave, Flunra came in and talked about a crucial matter with her. It seems he was going to fulfill Iseldra's proposition and awaken the Ice and Snow Princess, which she would definitely appreciate.

However, Kyran's heart thumped faster when he heard what Flunra said last.

"Know that if we succeed, we might save Lord Rex's life later, when he fought the Executor"

'Heuhkk...?!'

Upon hearing that, almost instantly, Kyran's blood rushed even faster, fueling him with more power which made his eyes glow. If Evelyn and Flunra stayed for a bit longer, then they both would see a seething azure vapor emanating from his body.

'R- Rex is going to fight the Executor...?' Kyran pondered.

Responding to his strong reaction, his bloodline was fighting back the deep slumber induced by the Ice and Snow Moon. His flesh and bones wobbled and made some noises as he was forcing his Werewolf form to come out.

Kyran's extreme desire to help Rex and redeem himself was burning inside his heart.

It was a perfect opportunity, and he's going to fight it out.

Just like that, under the confinement of the castle's walls, Kyran was stuck in a perpetual state of trying to do a tug of war against the Ice and Snow Moon's influence. At this early stage, it was impossible to tell what the ending of this battle would be.

...

Meanwhile, Adhara and Ugrok reached their destination. 

Even though the problem with the Dark Elves was haunting her mind, she was forced to choose sides lest a civil war break out within the Dark Elf Kingdom. Adhara wanted to put that problem at the back of her mind, but she couldn't.

If a civil war really breaks out, then it would implicate the fight with the Executor greatly.

Adhara doesn't know much about Rex's plan, but it's evident that, when the time came, all their forces would unite for an assault on the Executor. This would mean that the Dwarves, Tigermen, Elves, and Dark Elves would be rallied to help.

Due to that, she would fail Rex if she let the civil war happen.

'I never thought that his absence would impact the alliance this greatly' Adhara sighed.

She failed to expect that this problem would arise with Rex's absence.

Frankly speaking, if she was being as truthful as possible, the other Kingdoms that were within the alliance accepted to join because of the presence of Rex. Other than that, the benefit was minimal.

Adhara or even the others couldn't exude a resemblance of Rex's presence.

It was because of that, she found this unsettling.

Just from the reaction of the Dark Elves and also possibly the Tigermen, there was a need for her to be the pillar that would keep everything intact even if Rex was not around. Due to that, she would take the first step to achieving that through this venture.

After she finished what she came here for, she would deal with the Dark Elves.

But now, she was focusing on trying to find cues of the Elementals.

Using the flaming arrowhead, the sigil of the Elementals, the fire Elemental to be exact as a compass, the two arrived at the edge of a sparkling lake that seemed to contain a hidden aura that might belong to the fire Elementals.

Near them were floating rocks on the body of the lake, a path towards the center.

However, at that moment, warm air brushes their bodies.

"Do you feel that?" Adhara asked, scanning her surroundings with prying eyes.

Standing beside her, doing the same exact thing at her, Ugrok also nodded as he too felt the warm air that seemed to stir the very essence of his fire element, "Yes, the warmth... Ugrok feels it too"

It was then that both saw countless fireflies, glowing with red light appearing around them.

Adhara looked at the arrowhead and found it blazing strongly.

Being nudged from the side, Ugrok prompted her to look at the center of the lake where a fiery figure could be seen. It was graceful with its steps and had a presence that was so scorching that it could turn the lake water red.

Judging from the phenomenon alone, Adhara was certain that this thing was an Elemental.

A fire Elemental.

"So this is the fire Elemental that lived in the ancient era... Its fire, it definitely surpassed the Peak Ultimate Element. I can feel that it was capable of changing the surroundings element into its own fiery element" She muttered under her breath.
