The Invincible Full-Moon System

Iris snooped in and took Elder Tilrith's place as the one who would view Rex's past.

Surely, she was annoyed by that.

Her scowl showed that clearly for anyone to see but the warning she gave before Iris leaped into the trench was a genuine warning. Iris could tell that Elder Tilrith was really warning her, that peering into Rex's past was not going to be easy.

Regardless of wanting to know Rex's weakness, Elder Tilrith was fitted for this role.

She and Rex were in the same position so she could better endure Rex's past.

Older usually means wiser and stronger.

Going with that, those who lived longer will always be wiser and stronger.

But in reality, that wasn't always the case.

Time alone would not be able to make someone stronger or wiser, experience was the main driver, the only reason that saying exists was because living longer meant having a lot more opportunity to obtain experiences.

In this case, Iris was way older than Rex.

Rex's entire life wouldn't even measure to 10% of the time she had been alive.

However, Elder Tilrith, or even Iris herself knew that if comparing their experiences, she was not comparable to Rex's experiences—at least in terms of power. Due to that—Elder Tilrith's warning was genuine.

Nevertheless, Iris was not going to let Elder Tilrith obtain a weapon against Rex.

'Where am I...?' Iris pondered.

Once the darkness began to disappear around her, forming a foreign place, Iris scanned her surroundings. She doesn't know—what to expect. In her eyes, Rex was a person of obscure origin, he was an entity none had ever seen before.

Even throughout the Radical Era and Era of Might, none resembled him.

Because of that, she didn't know what trauma would Rex hide deep inside of him.

'It seemed to be some kind of tent. A military tent?' Iris pondered further.

Just then, items, and even people began to materialize around her, forming some kind of an episode of Rex's past. And one of them, a sharp-looking military officer—with many medals decorating his uniform spoke, "Kill her and bring her to me. She will be the replacement..."

As soon as the officer said that, Iris clutched her chest, feeling a sharp pain in her heart.

It felt like a searing hot knife was penetrating through her.

But even though she thought that she moved to clutch her chest, she didn't.

Looking down, she realized that she was in the Emperor's body.

'Oh, my God...' Iris gasped, the stabbing pain was so intense it stole her breath—crushing her chest like a vice. It was what Rex felt at this moment, she was feeling it, directly. 'It hurts—so much, but he... he didn't even flinch? The Emperor felt this much pain, but he was still able to keep his composure, and stood tall?!' ṝÃŊổВƐS

Before she could adapt to the pain, her head automatically turned to the side.

"Lieutenant, with all due respect, isn't that too much to ask for?!" A man on the side argued.

Being in Rex's memory, Iris knew this man—his name was Kyle.

Following that, another man, a first sergeant called Fury added, "Is that necessary?"

Bam!

Suddenly, the officer, Lieutenant Beard stood up and slammed his hand against the table.

He glared at Fury, forcing Fury to look down in response.

Pausing for a second, the lieutenant then turned back towards Kyle and Iris.

"Your comrade goes against a direct order! He sneaked in the night—and smuggled, that girl whose fate has been dictated by me!" He snarled—he was breathing hard like a bull. "If both of you refuse to do this, there will be massive consequences!"

"But Sir, she's only a young girl..." Kyle retorted but his voice was now weaker.

Pointing at Kyle, Lieutenant Beard went over his desk and stood an inch away from him.

"And that girl has no family, no relatives—she has nothing in this world making her perfect to be sacrificed" the lieutenant retorted, his eyes blazed with fury. "Ghouls liked fresh, and also young meat—this is to ensure the operation will be a success. What your comrade did risked thousands if not millions of lives, do you understand?!"

Kyle has nothing else to say, he wanted to defend what Edward did but he couldn't.

He feared the consequences greatly.

Making another step forward, Lieutenant Beard looked at Kyle directly in the eyes.

His face was only an inch away, "Since your comrade took that girl, I want a replacement. Kill that girl in the cafeteria and bring her corpse to me..."

Hearing this, Kyle clenched his fists as he wasn't on board with this.

"Answer me or I will take my whip and whip you like the animal you are" He added.

Then, Iris suddenly felt her body took a step forward, pulling the lieutenant's attention to her.

"We'll bring her corpse before the night ends," Iris suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, the lieutenant walked over—and gazed up at her, "Good. Just remember private—the only way you could go out there and exact your revenge is if I let you. Don't be like your comrade because I have you in the palm of my hands"

"Yes, Sir!" Iris replied loudly, but another sensation assaulted her.

Her body heated up, and her arms were trembling, it felt like a swarm of fire ants crawling through her veins—each step searing his nerves with unbearable heat. It was maddening, having the topic of revenge being brought up, her body instantly reacted.

But even then, Iris didn't move and endured the pain once again.

Inside, she felt like murdering someone but somehow—she was able to hold it all in.

Once the lieutenant had gotten the answer he wanted, he went back to his seat—and waved his hand dismissively. Seeing this—Iris and Kyle saluted before leaving the tent, and instantly headed to another tent.

'So much hatred... I heard the Emperor hated the Werewolves once, but this is not something mere, this hatred was a borderline obsession!' Iris thought—she knew about Rex's hatred but feeling it first-hand was something entirely different. 'It's hard to even form my thoughts with the flames of hatred in my mind'

Just then, before reaching the tent, Iris changed direction.

She headed to a small building on the corner of the Noob Box.

Her steps were sharp, each one striking the ground with furious intent, as though she could stomp out the rage flaming within her. As she approached the small building—her pace also gradually became faster.

Iris could feel the desire to unleash her anger unbearable.

Even her fingers twitched, craving to tear something apart.

But the moment, she entered the room and shut the door with a click that barely muffled her ragged breaths—the leash snapped. Her fist clenched, and slammed into the cracked wall—sending a dull reverberation through the room.

Bam!

Despite that punch, it wasn't enough.

Bam!

Bam!

Again, and again—she punched the wall with her raw strength.

Her knuckles split, blood smearing the wall, but the pain was a whisper compared to the roar inside of her. She didn't stop. Could not stop—the rage was louder than reason, much louder than the pain.

Becoming Rex in this episode, Iris also exactly felt the pain.

Punching a concrete wall for a Human body was way more painful than a Dark Elf.

She hissed, her eyes teary inside as this body didn't stop—it was a horrendous process.

Once the door was suddenly opened, she stopped and turned, glaring at the visitor.

It was Kyle, he walked in and closed the door behind him.

Upon doing that, Kyle rolled his sleeves and stood in front of Rex with the same anger.

"I am going to fight you, Rex," Kyle said, cracking his neck, and looking at Iris—directly in her eyes. "Others might be scared of you but I'm not. And I'm sure as hell would never let you go since you accepted that stupid officer's request. You know, I know you're mental, but I never expected you to be a psychopath who lacked emotions"

"And what makes you say that?" Iris answered, her bloodthirsty eyes bulging.

Kyle snickered, "That girl is very close to you and Billy—and yet you'd do this to her?"

"Rarrgh!!" Iris roared and tackled Kyle.

She put her arm on Kyle's neck and pinned him against the wall, "Do you think I want this?!"

"Even if you don't want this," Kyle grabbed his arm, retorting with the same ferocity. "You still accepted to do it—like an obedient dog! At least try to hide your lack of empathy better, your true self is coming out now!"

Kyle headbutted Iris hard before following it up with a front kick to the stomach.

Struck hard, Iris was thrashed to the other side—breaking several things behind her.

"You're consumed by anger, you're the strongest in hand-to-hand combat, but you would not be able to beat me in your condition. Prepare yourself, I will not stop—until the sun comes up and you begging on the floor" Kyle said menacingly as he approached.

But then, Iris retorted, "I'm doing this for Edward!"

"...?"

"If you keep refusing, the lieutenant will make Edward be the one to do it"

Wiping the blood trickling down from her nose, Iris glanced at Kyle, "You and I know that if he does it—if Edward does it, he will not be able to recover. To stop that from happening, I need to step in"

Upon hearing this, Kyle's expression stiffened.

Despite his anger, what Iris said was undeniable—the lieutenant is short-tempered.

He drew a hand across his forehead, the tension clear, in the furrow of his brow—before he leaned heavily against the wall. Both hands dropped to his hips as a bitter chuckle escaped his lips, "We got the worst fucking job—and now, before our departure, this happened... For fuck's sake"

Iris stood up and patted her clothes, "Come on, let's end this quickly before he comes back"

"Who would be the one to do it...?" Kyle asked hesitantly.

Pausing for a second, Iris sighed, "I'll do it. Just call her..."

"And...?" Kyle asked again, stopping Iris at the door. "What should we tell him?"

"Never mention this again" Iris replied before leaving the room—Kyle followed behind her.

Moments later.

It was silent inside the Noob Box, the greenhorns are sleeping already.

Only the occasional night duty people could be seen walking around, only a few of them.

Peeking from the corner of the cafeteria building was a young girl, she checked the coast— and nodded when she found that it was clear. Emerging from the corner, she brought a tray of food and power walked towards another building.

She made sure nobody saw her before moving to this building.

It was secluded and frankly speaking, looks abandoned.

A young girl like her would be scared but she instead has an excited smile on her face.

Upon reaching the building, she went to the backside corridor and found the red door—the place that she regularly visits. Knocking on the door in a code, the red door was then open, revealing Kyle.

"Come in..." Kyle said, he couldn't look at the young girl in the eyes.

Nodding, the young girl stepped inside, and placed the tray on the side, "It's very late," She murmured—placing her hands on her hips in a reprimanding manner. "Did you guys get into trouble again and get punished?"

Both of them were now inside a small room, there were three more red doors there.

Glancing at one of them—the young girl tilted her head, "Where's Brother Rex? I thought you asked me to bring more because you and Brother Rex got punished again. Brother Edward is the decent one so I doubted he's being punished" Read exclusive content at empire

Hearing this, a tear drizzled down Kyle's cheek.

Naturally, the young girl was confused and surprised by this.

In her eyes, Kyle, Edward, and Rex were too tough to show emotions like this.

She never saw any of them whimper much less cry like this.

"Get this over with, Rex..." Kyle suddenly whispered, looking away from the young girl.

Just as she was about to ask what was going on, a figure appeared from the shadow of the corner, Iris emerged. Seeing her, the young girl smiled, but noticed her knuckles were badly wounded, they were still bleeding.

"Did you hurt yourself again?" the girl shook her head. "Come here, I brought bandages"

As she approached, Iris stopped her.

"Stop there," Iris said, lifting her trembling hand.

Feeling the odd and choking air, the young girl shook her head as there must be some sort of a misunderstanding. Rex, Edward—and Kyle would never hurt her, but her thoughts halted as she saw a handgun in Rex's hand.

Even then, the young girl still believed in them, this must be a prank.

With one fluid motion, Iris pointed the handgun toward her forehead and cocked it.

Her arm felt weak when she did this, the young girl's eyes, full of unwavering belief—pierced her like a blade. As she prepared to shoot, the pain in her chest was unbearable, a silent wail of anguish that threatened to break her.

Seeing Iris preparing to shoot, the young girl's smile was broken.

"Brother Rex..." She whispered. "Why?"

"Forgive me," Iris whispered before turning her face away.
