The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 917  Mysterious and Impactful Plan

Calidora's scheme has been haunting Evelyn's mind like a maggot to a carcass.

It was even worse knowing that Rex was still troubled by that incident, saying that they were lucky that he was weakened. Had he not weakened, the incident would have ended in tragedy instead, and she understands that this must be weighing down on him.

All due to the fear of losing more than he already lost.

Just the thought of killing those dear to him with his own claws must've been dreadful.

Evelyn could only massage her forehead as problems kept on arising no matter if it involved the whole world or only the greed of one person. It was also unsettling, the fact that the more she thought about Calidora's scheme, the more she found that it was flawless.

She twisted the situation so badly to her advantage.

Gaining Luna energy and managing to achieve a significant step in her relationship with Rex.

Her scheme managed to kill two birds at once.

On top of that, her plan also managed to somehow make Rex think that being with her was the best possible scenario. She made him think that there was nowhere else for him to stay aside from beside her.

No matter how many times he went berserk, he wouldn't be able to kill her.

A manipulative reverie that made them perfect together.

If Evelyn wasn't able to stop Rex from leaving, then it would be Calidora's total victory.

However, there was one question that still troubles her mind.

'Even if that's the case, what makes Rex consider being with her? He should be fine alone'

Despite it's true that he wouldn't need to worry when he is with Calidora, there's no substantial motivation that Evelyn could think of that made him want to be with her. If he wanted to get away from the others, then he could be by himself.

She found it weird for Rex to want to be with her.

While walking through the halls of the castle, Evelyn was in deep contemplation.

'Is it love...? No, that can't be it. Rex is not someone who falls for someone easily, and he also doesn't have the time to think about that with the way things are. I hate to admit it but Calidora is also too smart to rely on something as uncertain as love'

No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't figure out a reason.

But she is certain that all will be answered when she meets with the Witch of Chaos, one of the people who definitely knew of Rex's plan. Going underground, she was greeted with a single chamber at the end of the narrow hallway.

The Witch of Chaos wanted peace and silence, so this was the perfect place for her.

Coursing through the hallway with steady steps, Evelyn stopped before the door.

Just when she reached for the handle, her hand halted as a thought came to mind, 'I should've attempted to figure out a way to help Rex in his fight with the Executor... I'm sure Calidora must've won him over by doing that' She pondered, biting her lower lip before she suddenly clenched her hands. 'But it's not fair, he kept his plan from me, so how am I supposed to help him?

Shaking her head, she opened the door and stepped inside.

Upon entering the room, Evelyn was greeted by a bed chamber covered in soft carpets.

Equipped with plush sofas, a queen-sized bed, plant pots, and pillows scattered on the floor, there was not a freckle of light seen in this bed chamber. It was also not the regular darkness, it was shrouded with something more.

If not for her being a powerful Werewolf, she wouldn't be able to see anything.

However, she could clearly see the Witch of Chaos sitting on the sofa near the corner of the room, humming melodically with Dealkandrax sleeping on her lap, and the insectoid creature wrapping its huge body around the sofa they were on.

Sensing someone coming into her room, the Witch of Chaos raised her eerie eyes.

Realizing that it was Evelyn and seemed to have something to say to her, the Witch of Chaos put her index finger across her lips, signaling her to keep silent as the two cursed creatures were slumbering peacefully.

Nodding her head, Evelyn walks out again to wait for the Witch of Chaos.

'She's really weird. It was almost as if she was their mother, and that is very unsettling'

Despite being humanoid, previously human, the Witch of Chaos treated the two cursed creatures as if they were actually her children. But this must have something to do with her power, and she was required to act like this.

Then again, she might as well enjoying this roleplay.

If Evelyn understands it correctly, her power is a lineage, passed to those who are chosen.

But the understanding of cursed powers has never been clear.

On top of that, the power of curses could be applied to a myriad of things. The thought of this made Evelyn click her tongue in displeasure, 'Calidora has this power, and that helps her a lot in doing her scheme. If only I also have that kind of power...'

Soon enough, the Witch of Chaos came out.

Closing the door gently, she flicked her fingers and made the door glow bronze briefly.

When it returned to normal, the Witch then turned to look at Evelyn.

Ever since she had arrived in Dargena City, this marked the first time she had a visitor, and she was not expecting her first visitor to be Evelyn instead of Rex. Although unexpected, curiosity brewed inside her about the purpose of Evelyn's visit.

"I must say, I don't expect you to come down here, ever" the Witch mused in amusement.

Albeit not knowing her objective in coming here, it must be pressing.

Seeing that Evelyn was nervous and seemed to have something she wanted to say judging from her wavering expression, this made the Witch even more curious. But she already assumed that this had something to do with Rex.

After all, she's the Luna of the Silverstar Pack.

Just as she inspected Evelyn, waiting for her to say something, the Witch slightly frowns.

'Something changed about her, I don't know what. Am I mistaken...?'

Pausing for a moment to arrange the rambling thoughts inside her head, Evelyn decided to be blunt. Beating around the bush would not get her anywhere with the Witch, "I know you are involved directly with Rex's plan, so you must know something. Can you tell me what's his plan?"

Upon hearing this, the Witch eyed her for a couple of seconds.

But soon she puts on a sly smile.

"I must apologize, but that, I can't do. Rex doesn't want you to know" the Witch replied softly.

Not gaining an answer, Evelyn clenched her jaw strongly.

It was not out of her expectations that the Witch was also instructed to not say anything about the plan to her and Adhara, "Okay. Then answer me this, does that plan have something to do with Calidora?"

but she was determined to extract that information. Also, the sly smile on the Witch's face irked Evelyn.

"Okay. Then answer me this, does that plan have something to do with Calidora?"

"Calidora...? I don't know who you're fussing about, Luna"

Pivoting her body away, the Witch deliberately pretended to not be aware of who is Calidora.

Evelyn's expression darkened when she heard this, contorting into a hideous look. "Stop playing games, Witch. I am not in the mood. All you have to do is tell me, I won't let Rex know that you told me about it"

"No, can't do, Luna" the Witch chuckled in hubris. "Everything has a price, don't you think?"

Just from this comment alone, Evelyn knows where this is going.

Locking her eyes with the Witch who was leaning on the wall leisurely, Evelyn squinted her eyes, trying to read through her face, "Tell me what you want in exchange. But I'm sure you're smart enough to not request anything against Rex and the city..."

"Of course, I value my life. What I want is nothing like that" the Witch grins mysteriously.

Standing straight and striding forward, she puts her hand on Evelyn's shoulder playfully, circling her with extreme delight. "In fact, what I want might just align with you, Evelyn. If you help me with this, then I'll give you all the answers you wanted"

Keeping silent, Evelyn didn't budge from her spot and stayed still.

"What I want is inside Rex and Calidora's bodies" the Witch eventually whispered to Evelyn's ear, exposing her desire. "I want the Eternal Curse bonding them two. If I succeed in extracting the Eternal Curse, then you won't have to worry about Calidora again, no?"

Upon hearing this, Evelyn couldn't keep her expression in check.

It would be a lie if she didn't find this proposal enchanting, this is big for her fight.

But even then, she must be careful and think this through with a level head, "When you managed to extract the Eternal Curse, what would happen to Rex? Don't lie to me, because... I will know" She asked, still fixed her gaze forward.

The Witch puts her hand away from Evelyn's shoulder and walks back to the door.

"Nothing" She answered nonchalantly, there was no hesitation in her answer. "Nothing will happen to Rex because if I extracted the Eternal Curse, only one of them need to die. And of course, we can both agree to sacrifice Calidora for this"

Evelyn could feel a sense of dread when she heard this.

Somehow, she felt a sting in her heart, but that was overwhelmed with her excitement.

"Okay, I'll help you do that. So long as you get rid of Calidora, giving you the Eternal Curse would not be too expensive of an exchange" Evelyn nodded, deciding that this was not that difficult to do.

When she caught the words that came out of Evelyn's mouth, the Witch smiled.

It was obvious that she was ecstatic.

Just the slight tremble of her body alone shows that clearly, and that didn't flee Evelyn's eyes, she noticed this reaction. "Well then, since we have come to an agreement, I'll answer your question. Yes, Rex needs Calidora in order to reach the appropriate cursed epiphany to advance his plan against the Executor"

"A crucial part of the plan to be exact, so he really needs her" She added.

Upon hearing this, Evelyn frowned as this was expected.

"Did Rex tell his plans to Calidora? If he really needs her then he must be" Evelyn asked.

However, the answer was surprising as the Witch shook her head, declining her assumption. "No, I'm quite sure Rex didn't tell Calidora. If he did, then that would essentially mean he is giving away the leverage Calidora had over him. As you might know already, he would never put himself in a position of disadvantage"

Once again, this made Evelyn forced to admit that Calidora is very smart and perceptive.

If the Witch is adamant that he didn't tell anything to Calidora, then somewhere along the way, she must've realized that it was going too smoothly with Rex and found out that he needs her for something.

"What is the plan, exactly? I need to know" Evelyn finally asked.

Having a clear picture of the entire plan would definitely help her understand the situation.

But the Witch shook her head which put her at a loss for words, "Don't be mistaken, it's not that I'm not honoring our agreement, I just reckon that you wouldn't want to know. Trust me on this, you don't need to know because he's facing the Executor, a very powerful being that has powers you couldn't even begin to imagine. The more know about the plan, the higher the chance of it failing"

"And if it fails... I can say that you'll watch Rex crumble and die" She added warningly.

Evelyn wasn't expecting this kind of information.

Judging from her expression, the Witch doesn't seem to be joking around either, so the plan must be as complicated and impactful as she said. Unconsciously, she forced down her saliva as she was too hasty.

Not once had she thought that knowing the plan would make the situation worse.

Pausing for a second, the Witch then turned around and turned the door's handle, "We'll start the plan of extracting the Eternal Curse after Rex defeats the Executor. Only then, can we really make our move..."

After saying that, the Witch enters the room and leaves Evelyn in the dark.
