The Invincible Full-Moon System

Crash!

Boom!

Inside the dense forest that is still pouring rain, there's a battle that sparks countless energy splashes that light up the darkness of the night. More and more destruction was made around the area from this astonishing fight.

Four streaks of shadows can be seen fighting against a monstrous creature.

Each of their strikes is strong enough to rip the ground in half and destroy countless mutated trees in the surroundings, the combination of colorful fires and different energies decorate the place like tints in a painting.

With the illusion on their side, battling Syn has become way easier than before.

Most of the clash was done by the illusion that keep on attacking Syn persistently. Using nothing but his bare hands cloaked with the red force, the illusion traded blow after blow and created a whirlwind of energy that made it harder for the others to come close.

It was a full-blown brawl without any of them trying to dodge each other's attack.

The illusion clenched his hand into a fist tightly before landing a solid blow right on Syn's side, it pushes out the air inside his lungs before Syn replied with a similar blow with his arm turning into a hammer.

If anyone below the eighth-rank realm were to be hit by their strikes, they won't survive a hit.

Both of them seem to have equal strength despite Syn overpowering the illusion bit by bit, the mental attacks thrown by him starting to take effect on the illusion. With the mental attacks, the illusion becomes increasingly sluggish.

Even though the illusion is not a real person, it still has its little mind that can be disturbed heavily.

But it seems none of them wanted to back down from the full-on brawl fight they were having, they sustained attack after attack without the need to dodge. Battling like two monster lunatics that don't care about the damage they suffered to their bodies.

With Syn's view of a superior race, it's reluctant to back down which made him pretty terrifying.

Since the illusion has limitations regarding the ability it can use from Rex's arsenal, there are no spells chanted from the illusion as it keeps on spamming the Executor Slash skill and enhancement that made it on par with Syn which is battling without holding back.

Even though limitations exist for the illusion, there's one particular convenience for the illusion.

Rex and the illusion is a completely different entity that is only linked to each other through mental links that can tell if each other is still alive or not, and this provides a loophole for the illusion to use one of Rex's strongest abilities without bringing the repercussion to Rex.

Out of all the abilities, the skill that brings the most side-effect is the Extreme State skill.

Activating the Extreme State the illusion's senses were increased to the max as even Syn's attack started to become slower than before, he curls his hand that has turned into an ashy tentacle before sweeping it at the illusion.

But with the activation of the Extreme State skill, the illusion dodged it perfectly.

Twisting its torso while still dodging the sweeping curled tentacle, the illusion's eyes flashed before it does a perfect roundhouse kick right to Syn's head. Not expecting such a counterattack before, he got hit solidly in his face.

Bam!

"Grrrgh!", Syn growled as he got thrown hundreds of meters to the side.

Without letting him recover the girls didn't stay idle and maximized this opportunity to the fullest, Evelyn and Adhara jumped into the air with both of their weapons blazed with their respective fire.

Even their fire alone lit up the entire surrounding as their bodies burned even brighter.

Nothing can match these two fire goddesses that possess different kinds of fire, one is dark red like fire straight from hell while the other is a bright violet color that mesmerized the eyes of those witnessing the scene right now.

Swoosh!

As the Resonation of Shadow sword alongside the Duality Dagger descend from the sky strongly, Syn quickly turns his arms into blades before cloaking them with dark fire that he just copied from Evelyn before.

Clang!

BOOM!

Cracks started appearing on the ground as their clash created a powerful energy shockwave.

Even their auras alone can even shake the earth's core itself much less a powerful swing from both of them. Despite its superior realm, Syn can feel the sharpness of the weapons that are slicing through its blade arms slowly.

"Mere humans are trying to kill me?! I won't allow it!"

BOOM!

Syn roared angrily before his body exploded with pulsating dark energy like a bomb.

The terrifying explosion of dark energies blasted the entire place into hell but with the help of Gistella's protective barrier both of them didn't get pushed too far, it managed to absorb most of the impact from the explosion.

With her heightened senses,  Evelyn spins her body forcefully breaking the exploding energy.

Her eyes started glowing even more vibrantly with dark red fire like a fueled torch, and every muscle fiber in her arms bulged as she clenched her sword tightly in her hand, "You're wrong, we're not just humans...", she said amidst the heat of the fight.

It piqued Syn's attention but she didn't let him answer, "Fire Demoness Art, The Beauty of Hell!"

Slash!!

A huge dark red arc was created from Evelyn swinging down her sword once more time at Syn, a powerful collision was made once again but this time the illusion stepped in and tackle Syn to the ground like an animal.

In the same motion of the tackle, Gistella created small barriers that sticks Syn's limbs down.

The illusion started pounding Syn's featureless face in a total beatdown, there was no mercy as he kept punching while Syn tries to defend himself with anything that he can do. But each of Rex's attacks sent a striking pain to the point of impact.

With the Extreme State skill active, the illusion can also see Syn's weakness perfectly.

Just as the taste of victory was starting to become evident, Syn's head suddenly morphed in a blink of an eye. In response to this, the illusion even feels the need to jump away since Syn's head turns into a sharp blade that wanted to stab him in the face.

Powering through the situation, Syn breaks the barrier that pinned him down to the ground.

Gistella showed her improvement in using her energy, she can use her power to restrain someone.

But under the might of an eighth-rank realm Shapeshifter that has his back against the wall, the one holding the right arm broke as Syn roared in anger. It was his first time being cornered by a group of humans that is composed of young brats.

Losing in war is acceptable for someone of his caliber, but this is unacceptable.

With a mighty roar Syn splits his arms into two each, he created four ashy tentacles that dived like charging sharks towards the illusion. Each of these tentacles moved even faster than before, they were like swift-moving eels that are pursuing their prey.

Not only that but the dark red fire copied from Evelyn was also covering them, burning tentacles.

Swoosh!

The illusion stands its ground before grabbing the four tentacles.

Despite the burning sensation that was somehow amplified by Syn since Evelyn's dark fire shouldn't be able to hurt the illusion like this, it held the four tentacles in place before stopping it on the tracks strongly.

Veins can be seen all over his body while he's keeping the four burning tentacles in place.

While the others spread to the side in order to also spread Syn's attention, Syn tilts his head a little before the four burning tentacles split again into eight before attacking the illusion that is fixed onto holding the burning tentacles.

Finding that it was even faster than before, the illusion got stabbed in four spots around its body.

"I got you now, human!", Syn laughs excitedly.

Just as he said that a light mutter penetrated his ears, "Great Spell, Fire Maelstorm!"

Immediately after that the ground around him suddenly exploded with purple fire that is amplified with wind mana, but the purple fire weakened slightly because of the rain. Now, it's more than a hindrance than damaging Syn.

Everything is covered in purple fire, Syn can't view the outside due to that.

Knowing that the illusion is still being stabbed by the tentacles, Syn decided to finish the illusion off by creating another burning tentacle to stab the illusion right on the head which will definitely kill it.

When he was about to do that, its head suddenly feels like exploding.

Cling!

Cling!

Cling!

"RAAARGHH!! YOU IMPUDENT GNATS!!"

Since the light noises came from an ancient rune that is exclusive to only Flunra, it was very effective in hurting Syn. It serves as a powerful distraction for an eighth-rank realm Shapeshifter, but it shouldn't be this effective.

Flunra said before that the effect lessens the stronger the targeted Shapeshifter is.

But that is where Evelyn's power comes along that can amplify the sound enough to hurt Syn like this. Wailing around due to the clinging sound, Syn doesn't realize a sword pierced the purple flame and headed right towards his chest.

Stab!

Resonation of Shadow penetrated Syn right on its chest before stabbing the ground.

Blood burst from Syn's penetrated chest that flowed black, he then regains back his focus and saw Adhara is already flying above him with fire swirling around like the embodiment of the purple fire elemental.

Clashing both daggers together, the purple fire mana and wind mana started concentrating.

Both of the Duality Daggers trembles under the amount of mana she managed to gather, her eyes then flash as she activates the innate skill of the daggers. It merges both clashing mana together creating a powerful orb before it fires straight at Syn.

BOOM!

Upon seeing the incoming beam of rampaging mana, Syn does something unthinkable.

Out of nowhere, a blue barrier appeared in front of him alongside the dark energy amplifying it. Syn didn't fail to catch Adhara by surprise, not only can he mimic Evelyn's element with a simple touch but he can also mimic Gistella without making any sort of contact with her.

'This Shapeshifter can even mimic someone from just a look, eighth-rank Shapeshifter is scary...'

Adhara's attack clashes against the protective barrier decimating yet the entire place from the shockwave created, the concussion of mana splashes evenly throughout the barrier forcefully.

Even before the ongoing clash finished, she suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Gistella! Now!!"

Swoosh!

Dashing through the purple fire, Gistella went straight to Syn with her arm covered in bronze scale.

Knowing that it won't be enough to tear through Syn's protective barrier with her current strength alone, she was forced to use her High Werewolf Fiend ability and increases her physical finesse. Arriving near the clash, she punched the barrier with all of her might.

Bam!

Crash!

Under the force from the beam and Gistella's punch, the barrier shatters.

Syn was not expecting this and he also can't dodge with the sword stabbing his chest, his eyes bulged with bloodthirst as the beam hits him and create a very big explosion that trembles the ground in the surrounding miles.

More blood gushed out of Syn's chest as it definitely got hurt from that attack.

With the girls doing everything they can to create the opening, the illusion jumped to the sky with its hand covered with dark energy from the Executor Slash skill. Through telepathy, they created this plan, and he will be the one to land the finishing blow.

"FINISH IT!!", Adhara and Evelyn shouted at the same time.

Syn that is already in shambles glances up and saw the illusion in the sky shadowed by the peeking moon amidst the dark clouds, he tries to keep on surviving but the clinging sound filled his ears making him completely helpless.

Although Rex told them to bring it alive, pulling back his punch would be a foolish move.

If he survived this then good but if he doesn't then it's fine.

The illusion gathers more power into its arm with the intention to kill, but out of nowhere, its eyes dilated seeing sparkling white energy from the far distance. A frown appeared on its face finding this blinding light weird.

But in the next second, a light projectile shoots straight without the illusion able to react.

Even with the Extreme State skill still active, this light arrow doesn't possess anything that can be sensed except by directly seeing it. On top of that, it's also too fast for the illusion to react properly.

Swoosh!

Stab!

"Keeuhkk?!", the illusion spat a mouthful of blood while seeing the arrow that penetrated its heart.

Adhara and the others were also surprised to see a glowing white arrow penetrating the illusion's chest, none of them senses the incoming attack just like the illusion doesn't sense anything or even the person shooting the white arrow.

"A-An Arrow?! Who fired it?!!"
