The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 1085 Maternal Instincts

Putting aside their dislikes towards each other, Adhara and Calidora worked together.

It was unintentional, but their instincts became one in this sight.

Under their synchronized effort, they managed to knock Gistella's cage from Brigitta's grasp, leaving her unsettled and furious at the same time. Losing Gistella could mean forfeiting one significant advantage she had over this battle.

Having Gistella at the mercy of her power puts pressure on the opponent. But now, Brigitta lost that advantage.

Dauntingly standing with a triumphant smile, Adhara turned to gaze in Brigitta's direction.

Like an entity possessed by the very essence of fire, her entire form was cascaded down by violet flames, even corrupting her skin violet. Hovering behind her was a circle of fire-but it was not a regular circle of fire.

It seemed like the circle of fire, a manifestation of a spell, was a part of her body.

Moreover, Brigitta could also sense that this circle of fire behind Adhara amplified her power.

Noticing that she was gazing at the circle of fire, Adhara smirked inwardly. Even though the more advanced techniques inside the sacred book given by the Elementals, the Divine Pyroclasmic Emissary, are too hard for her to quickly comprehend-she managed to learn and comprehend the first technique of the sacred book.

A technique called Order of Fire.

Such technique was the cause of this circle of fire behind her, amplifying her spells by 100%.

One technique that many Fire Elementalists would die for.

Due to this technique, even though Adhara hasn't broken through to the ninth-rank realm on her fire elements, her attack was still able to do something to Brigitta, "If the Executor gains what he wants, the war will never end, Brigitta. Is that what you want?"

Upon hearing this, Brigitta laughed-reaching out her hand to call back her longsword.

"If the Executor gains what he wants, he will make sure the war will end," She rebutted firmly.

It was clear through the light in her eyes that Brigitta believed in what she said. Adhara could instantly tell that there was no use in trying to coax her to change her mind-she didn't know what the Executor did to Brigitta, but the once proud protector of Humanity was nowhere to be seen.

Now, what's left of her is an empty shell of a corrupted soul.

Just as Adhara was preparing to fight, she noticed Calidora on her side, stepping back.

Controlling her blood energy, she conjures a crimson bean bag and sits on it gracefully.

"What are you doing?" Adhara asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Fatigue is getting to her, you two can handle her-you don't need my help" Calidora replied.

Since they were in the middle of a fight-against someone like Brigitta nonetheless-Adhara found it incredulous that Calidora would indulge in games. She presumed that Calidora also shared the same understanding that the fight should take priority.

But it seems it was not the case for Calidora if she's acting this nonchalantly. Deciding to not mind her, Adhara engaged with Brigitta again.

Aided by Ryze who came like a train and body-slammed Brigitta, the two should be fine.

On the other hand, Calidora gritted her teeth in utter silence.

Her hand found itself rubbing her stomach, the source of a stinging pain that she was feeling right now that made her stop. Moreover, fatigue came sooner than expected the exchange from earlier surprisingly sucked a lot of her stamina.

Calidora deliberately uses her Eyes of Terror instead of her blood energy in that exchange.

It was one of her powers that didn't require blood energy.

But even then, she was exhausted from that.

"Raarggh! For the Elpida Alliance! For Humanity! I'm going to kill you, Vampire!!"

Suddenly, an Awakened came rushing from the side and charged at the exhausted Calidora.

Upon hearing the shout, Calidora cast her cold eyes towards the Awakened.

Despite bearing wounds from the preceding battle, the Awakened, appearing no older than thirty, brandished a combat knife with grim determination-fully intent on yanking Calidora, the Vampire before him to death.

His eyes were burning with hope and determination that Humanity would win. Knowing that she had a connection with the Silverstar Pack, the Awakened aimed at her.

Clang!

Raising her pinky finger mantled with blood energy, Calidora parried the Awakened's combat knife as if it were nothing. Not wanting to stop, despite being clearly outmatched by Calidora-the Awakened persisted, refusing to yield.

Sparks from the knife's collision with Calidora's pinky nail flashed.

It kept on going as the Awakened didn't let up his attack, brazenly swiping his combat knife.

Just when Calidora was about to severely wound the Awakened, incapacitating him, her eyes widened when blood unexpectedly crawled into her neck and gushed out of her mouth. Such an occurrence caught her completely off guard.

Responding in reflex, she covered her mouth.

But when she saw the crimson blood adorning on her hand, her body trembled. Meanwhile, recognizing this as an opportune moment-the Awakened cast a spell to cloak his combat knife and thrust forward with vigor. Unaware of Calidora's sudden affliction, he remained focused, determined not to let this moment slip away.

He aimed at her heart as it was the universal weakness of any living being. As the Awakened's blade descended toward Calidora, he felt a pang of confusion. Instead of shielding her chest, Calidora's hands instinctively moved to guard her abdomen. It happened in a blink of an eye, a split-second decision, driven by her survival instincts.

However, it was an odd sight to see her survival instincts make her react like

that.

Splash!

With a sickening thud, the blade pierced her defenseless flesh, sending waves of pain.

Even though the Awakened should be happy that his attack worked, his eyes were flickering with uncertainty. In the aftermath of the attack, the Awakened pulled out his knife and could not shake the nagging feeling of bewilderment.

Why had her body reacted in such a manner?

Why had she protected her stomach and left her torso vulnerable to the

assault?

It was only as these questions rotated his mind that his eyes widened in

realization.

Looking at the bloodied knife in his hand, the Awakened stepped back-guilt

and utter shock plastered on his face. But that shock quickly turned into anger as he pointed his knife back at Calidora, "What the fuck are you doing in the battlefi- Huarghkk!"

Out of nowhere, the Awakened coughed a mouthful of blood.

Stopped mid-sentence, a figure appeared and stabbed the Awakened through

the back.

Brutally, he was lifted into the air as he screamed louder.

Fueled with unbridled anger, the pale figure tossed the Awakened to the side

roughly.

"Kill him, don't show him mercy," the figure uttered whisperingly.

Almost instantly after he said that, several figures clad in the same cold attire-

unmistakably Vampires, pounced on the Awakened. Channeling their primal cruelty, they rent him limb from limb with their razor-sharp claws.

Despite his pleas for mercy, saying that it was a mistake, the Vampires didn't

stop.

None of them relent, tearing him without hesitation.

Gruesomely, even the Awakened's remains were gone, leaving no trace of his

body.

He got devoured wholesale, his corpse forever lost.

Groaning lightly, Calidora looked up and saw a familiar Vampire approaching

her.

It was Dimitri, and he had concern plastered clearly on his face as he immediately went to her side, assessing the wounds near her collarbone, "Princess, are you alright? Did he get you anywhere aside from here?"

"No, I'm fine-I was only dazed earlier, Calidora replied, trying to refuse his

help.

But even then, Dimitri quickly applied ointment to her wounds. Under normal circumstances, he could replenish her blood energy with his

own, but for now-that was off limit lest he incurred side effects. So instead of

giving her blood energy-the ointments he brought should make do.

It was made of an Awakened blood, the best of its kind.

"We're not going to keep our distance anymore, I hope you understand,

Princess" He said.

Albeit her reluctance, Calidora could only agree.

Even if she refused him and told him to leave, he wouldn't do it, so there's no

point in trying. Calidora sighed heavily, her disappointment palpable, "I thought growing weaker would be a gradual process, but this? It's happening even faster than I

imagined," she murmured. At the very least, she thought that she would be able to participate in this battle.

But it seemed like a distant possibility now, she was stretching her limit by

doing this.

Moreover, it would put her in more danger.

"Let's try and get out of here if we can," Dimitri instructed with a demanding

tone.

Since they were now at the center of the conflict, it would not be safe for Calidora. However, as he pivoted his body around, Dimitri discreetly grimaced.

He clutches the side of his torso in pain, and his expression is strained- portraying the clear discomfort he is experiencing. But even though he was in pain-Dimitri made every effort to conceal it from Calidora's notice.

Despite being freed from Calidora's sight, he was not free from Evelyn's eyes

from the side. Told to keep her ground, she remained passive in the background. Evelyn was in her Luna Form, gracing her presence with purple fractals of

energy, and gazing at the group of Vampires that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and protected Calidora, 'He must've gone through a lot to reach here, I'm not surprised that he was hurt,

Reaching their position must've been hard for Dimitri and the other Vampires.

It was not surprising that they were hurt.

'Who are they...? Are they Calidora's personal guards?' Evelyn pondered,

observing them.

As she was a Princess, it was not too surprising if she had personal guards.

Moreover, since she couldn't sense these Vampires coming, they must've been strong. Initially, Evelyn saw Calidora being attacked by the Awakened.

But since the Awakened was a mere sixth-rank realm, she was not worried for

Calidora.

In her mind, Calidora would not be in trouble.

the

Since she could even fight with Rex not too long ago, Calidora should easily deal with anyone below the ninth-rank realm. Only a few things below ninth-rank realm could threaten her, so the sight of her being injured by the Awakened was unexpected. Naturally, this raised a question in Evelyn's mind. 'Regardless of this group of Vampires, why is Calidora so weak?' She contemplated-shifting her eyes towards Calidora-who remained seated on the plush cushion made completely of blood energy. 'I understand that she was knocked out by Rex, but I don't think that would be the reason why she got this

weak,n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

'So weak that she got hurt fighting a mere sixth-rank realm Awakened' She frowned weirdly.

On top of that, there was the weird reflex that she had earlier. Even though her survival reflex wouldn't be noticed by untrained eyes, for

someone who had been in a fight a lot-it was a reflex that stuck out like a sore thumb. Any regular life form will not react like she did.

It was a weird reaction, one that Evelyn found suspicious. Due to the fight between Adhara, Ryze, and Brigitta near the center of the

Human Army, a lot of attention was pulled to their location-all eyes diverted and focused on the flank. As the battle raged on, it became evident that the

Supernaturals held a decisive advantage.

Steadily, their forces gained ground in the battle, pushing the Human Army

back.

And now, Brigitta seemed to be in trouble.

However, she could be seen adapting to the fight against Adhara and Ryze

quickly. Just from her fluid movements and increasingly effective blocks, it was obvious

that Brigitta was learning her opponents' patterns. As one of the select Awakened-capable of merging pure silver into their Gladiator Form, she was an unmistakable genius.

It was not shocking to see her adapting.

Observing this fight was also the Witch of Chaos-manifesting a chaos eye in

the sky.

She gained a clear sky-view of the battlefield easily.

At this particular moment, the chaos eye was looking directly at Calidora who

seemed to be struggling against the pain as her blood energy was diminishing rapidly. But it was then that the Witch cracked a smile on her face.

'No better time than this, luck is on my side... the aftermath of the battle will be

a utopia'
