The Invincible Full-Moon System

'Why do I look so pale?!', Rex thought in confusion.

Adhara then approaches the mirror too and saw that her body is also pale, they're almost as pale as the Vampires.

It greatly shocks both of them, but there's only one answer.

'System, What is happening to me?', Rex asks.

<The Yule Moon energy started to linger in the air, appearance changes is natural but the real effect of the Yule Moon has only just begun>

Reading this, Rex frowns hard.

He doesn't like it when the system is hiding stuff from him, it's like the system is boasting about the power of the moon to him, and can't wait to see Rex get surprised.

'Can you tell me what will happen during the Yule Moon aside from the moonlight will hurt any Werewolves?', Rex asks pleadingly.

But it's no use, the system didn't answer him.

Rex then sigh before saying, "Ryze, you will wait here while Kyran, Adhara, and Me will go out. Make sure you stay here"

After saying that, Rex signals to Kyran to follow them.

Ryze looks unwilling because he still thought that they're sick, but his call to them is ignored as the three of them walk out of the room.

Rex waves his hand before a butler came to him, "Make sure Ryze stays in his room"

The butler bowed deeply when he heard Rex's command, he then went inside the room to keep Ryze company.

While they were walking in the university's lobby, a figure approached them from the back.

Kyran already whispers to Rex about the figure that approached them, and turns out that the figure is Edward sneaking from behind.

Rex is smiling mockingly while they continue to walk,

Just when they're at the entrance of the university, Edward tried to scare them from the back, "WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING!"

Edward is waiting for Rex's surprised expression but he doesn't get it.

It's not only Rex, the others also didn't get surprised by Edward because they all already sense Edward on their back.

Werewolf's senses are not to be underestimated even for Edward who is an expert.

"We know you're following us, did you forget that there's Kyran here?", Rex said with a slight chuckle, this makes Edward face-palm himself.

He forgets that Kyran's senses are off the charts, even though he can't out-skill Kyran's senses.

Edward's excitement becomes lump, he then said lazily, "You guys are no fun. Where are you guys going at this hour?"

"We're going to the canyon, you want to join?", Rex said nonchalantly.

But then, Edward frowns when he sees Rex's pale face, "Bro, you good? You look sick to me"

Rex waves his hand, "Nothing, Are you coming or not?"

Edward nodded his head repeatedly, it's boring for him to stay at the university knowing that Rex already transferred here which means following him will be fun.

He's not surprised to see Rex transferred here, he already got a feeling about this.

The group of three becomes four with the addition of Edward,

Today they're just going to check on the canyon, so having Edward come with them is not a problem.

Arriving at the Canyon, Rex can see many cars parked there.

The canyon is not that far from Faraday University, it's only about 10 miles away and with Edward's car, the journey becomes even faster.

FAA and UWO's cars are parked around the canyon, and many people in white are gathered here.

Many Awakened from the FAA are also swarming this place, they all have the power ranging from peak rank three to rank six.

This sector 3E is a research sector with the purpose of creating innovation that can give the edge against the Supernatural, and this Canyon will definitely be swarmed by scientists.

Rex approach the canyon's mouth before he got stopped by the police.

"Kids, you can't play around in this area please go back", a policeman said while blocking Rex and the other's way.

Without even answering, Rex gives the policeman a white paper.

The policeman takes the white paper nonchalantly, he briefly reads the paper before his sharp eyes turn soft, "I'm sorry for blocking you sir, please continue"

Before walking past the policeman, Rex asks, "Who is in charge of this place?"

"The man will be Prof. Nolan Hildago, he's that man over there", the policeman points at an old man that is talking to a group of scientists.

Prof. Nolan is an old man with grey hair, he's wearing a grey suit underneath the white coat. He's wearing a name tag with his identification on it, there's an organization badge on his chest, and there's also a gun on his waist.

After nodding to the policeman, Rex and the others walk towards Prof. Nolan.

"You guys wait here, I'll talk to him for a second", Rex said before he walks towards Prof. Nolan.

He waited for Prof. Nolan to finish talking to the scientists before he approached him, "Prof. Nolan"

Prof. Nolan glances at Rex and asks, "Who are you?"

"Forgive my intrusion, I'm Rex Silverstar the students that are sent here by Sir Vargas", Rex introduced, he brings Vargas' name into this because it'll be easier.

Hearing this, Prof. Nolan then turns his body towards Rex and said, "Oh, you're the students he said will come here to check the canyon. What can I help you with?"

"I want to ask about the Canyon, What have you found so far?", Rex said while looking at the underground canyon that is huge.

The underground canyon is really big with rocky terrains as far as the eye can see, holes around the canyon are countless with a slippery rocky terrain that can make someone slip easily.

A river is flowing in the middle of the underground canyon, or perhaps it's the remains of the Galdosa River that falls into this underground canyon.

Prof. Nolan then explains, "So far, we just explored the tip of this canyon. I can't say for sure, but we find many unidentified stones, gems, and plants, that emit an energy that we have never seen before"

"The caves along this canyon are countless, and some go deeper than the others", he added.

Hearing Prof. Nolan's explanation, Rex nodded his head, 'Well, I can't expect much when this canyon has only been recently discovered'

Just when he's leaving Prof. Nolan after thanking him,

Prof. Nolan suddenly called out to him and said, "Places like this shouldn't be dangerous but with the discovery of these plants, gems, and stones that radiate the same energy stated otherwise"

Rex frowns in confusion, he doesn't understand what Prof. Nolan trying to say.

"Some caves go deeper than the other, and there are countless caves. With the discovery of the plants, it's safe to assume that these plants are the food supply for any living being inside this canyon", Prof. Nolan said with a meaningful hint.

Hearing this, Rex then realizes something.

Mutated animals eat other mutated animals and plants,

Prof. Nolan is trying to say that if we found a living being in this canyon which is these plants, that can only mean there must be another living being here too.

'So that's why there are so many FAA members here', Rex thought.

Vargas will definitely assign guards here to expect the unexpected, but the number of guards surrounding this place is ridiculous.

Turns out that there might be a threat from mutated animals, so that explains why.

Rex went back to the others before Edward said, "So? What did he say to you?"

"The place is still new, but they're certain that there will be mutated animals here so be on your guard", Rex explains.

He then said, "We'll go check out the caves"

After saying that, they all went inside the canyon with wary steps.

The canyon is lit up because the scientist already put lights around the canyon, but it only spans about half a mile from the canyon's mouth.

Beyond the half-mile mark is darkness, and Rex will not go that deep.

After getting down to the underground canyon, Rex and the others are looking at their surrounding.

The cold and moist wind instantly brushes past them, the air in here is different than the air outside of the canyon.

Rex can't pin on it but it's just different, then suddenly,

<The user has entered the Evil One's Lair, Rurvi>

Reading this, Rex unconsciously stopped.

He reads the system's notification with a frown, 'Evil One's Lair? Is this place somekind of creature's lair?', Rex thought, he becomes hesitant to go further.

Based on the name of it, the creature is probably very strong.

"Rex? What's wrong?", Adhara asks in confusion.

Rex is walking in front of the group, and his sudden stop certainly confused them.

"Nothing, Let's keep walking further", Rex said before he walks deeper into the canyon.

Although he's advancing forward, he still dwells in his thought, 'This Rurvi is deep in this canyon, right? It will probably be fine'

He then shakes his head and pays attention to the surrounding,

While they walk deeper into the underground canyon, Rex's eyes suddenly caught something on his left hidden in the shadow.

Rex squinted his eyes to see the object, he walks closer to it and realizes that it's a cave.

"Let's get inside this one", Rex said to the others.

The cave is quite hidden from view making it the perfect place for Rex to hide during the Yule Moon, the location of the cave is off-angle making it hard to look from the front.

The rocky terrain acts as its cover, and it is well hidden in Rex's opinion.

Kyran stopped in his tracks and looks to his left as the others walk inside the cave, he frowns as he sees into the darkness beyond the light instilled by the scientists.

He felt an ominous aura coming from his left,

The darkness beside Kyran suddenly move, this jolted Kyran as he steps back in shock, "Hello? Is something there?", he shouted.

But nothing responds to him,

Just when he's about to take a closer look at the darkness, "KYRAN!!"

Hearing his name called, Kyran runs inside the cave and shouted, "COMING!!"

Unknown to Kyran,

Just after he left, the darkness he's seeing before moves again before it becomes subtle again as if nothing happened.

Inside the cave,

They walk deeper into the cave when suddenly, "Are you guys dumb? Turn on your flashlight for god's sake", Edward said with a disbelieving look.

The cave is engulfed in pure darkness, and he can't see further than three meters away from himself.

Rex, Adhara, and Kyran look at each other before they remembered.

Unlike them who have no trouble seeing in the dark, Edward is just an Awakened who doesn't have night vision abilities.

They completely forgot about that fact,

Edward then walks past the group as he mumbles, "What's wrong with these people, walking into a cave devoid of light without even using a light source as if they wearing night-vision goggles"

He then walks in front of the group and leads the way after turning on the flashlight on his phone.

After walking for five minutes, they didn't find the end of the cave.

This makes Rex frown in concern,

Although the location of the cave is perfectly hidden, the inside of the cave is very deep that even after walking for five minutes they still didn't meet the end of it.

This greatly concerns Rex because the probability of meeting these mutated animals will increase, he didn't want that, especially during the Yule Moon.

He still doesn't know what the Yule Moon effects are,

Edward then suddenly stopped when he found two ways in front of him, he then looks at Rex and said, "Which one?"

Rex looks at the front before his eyes landed on Kyran.

Among the people here, Kyran is the most sensitive so he will probably sense something from these two ways.

"Go right", Kyran said.

The group then follow what Kyran said,

Adhara approach Kyran before she asks, "Why did you pick the right one? Did you sense something from the right?"

"It's just a gut feeling", Kyran said while scratching the back of his head.

Hearing this, Adhara rolled her eyes and walks faster leaving Kyran behind.

After walking for another five minutes, they finally meet the end of the cave but when Edward looks around the group was surprised by something.

"What is this?"
