The Invincible Full-Moon System

Like the start of a tornado in the middle of the ocean, garnering the momentum to create a mighty tsunami, the tension inside Emham Forest grew by the second as the looming danger trails in sunlight beyond the wall of the forest.

As a public space, regular Awakened started coming to the forest to train.

Due to the First Breath's suppression, all of the mutated animals inside the Emham Forest have been reverted back into regular animals. Even then, suppressed Awakened came here to train on their physical skills as the place is quite a spacious place to train.

None of them are aware of the thick mist of danger, clouding Emham Forest right now.

In response to these Awakened, Prof. K has instructed Liliya to stray them clear from the area near the Cluster Domain. Furthermore, Dyrmir and Ugrok already went back to the Cluster Domain to hide and monitor the portal.

A portal that is linked to Dargena City is already on standby inside the Cluster Domain.

Obviously, this is Rex's signal for them to start evacuating the people. Prof. K also already contacted Beach City and told them to begin teleporting people, there's no time to waste with the approaching danger on their backs.

While he was waiting for the portal with Ugrok earlier, he asked something about the plan.

Prof. K doesn't understand why Ugrok engrave the advanced teleportation formation outside the Cluster Domain. If Ugrok could engrave it inside the Cluster Domain, then it will be way safer for evacuating the people.

But his thought was shrugged by Ugrok almost instantly.

Unlike the actual world, the Cluster Domain is a fabricated dimension, a copy of the outside world. A teleportation formation wouldn't be able to recognize the place because it's not an actual place, thus it will not work inside the Cluster Domain.

Surely, Rex know about this and also foretold the danger that this operation might pose.

It's why Prof. K was given an advanced teleportation formation instead of a regular teleportation formation. On top of not requiring any elemental stones to activate, the cooldown to use it is also faster compared to the normal teleportation formation.

Normally, the cooldown to use a teleportation formation is about half an hour.

Prof. K doesn't know how fast the cooldown will be on the advanced teleportation formation, but it should be a few minutes. Clearly, this plan is well thought out by Rex to maximize the safety of the evacuated people.

As he waited for a moment, Ugrok suddenly poked his head out from the Cluster Domain.

"What's wrong, Ugrok...?" Prof. K asked.

Ugrok then quickly replied as he forgot to mention one important thing about the advanced teleportation formation, "Ugrok forgot to tell K, do not cease fueling K's energy into the formation while teleporting the humans until they are fully teleported. If K did that then the humans being teleported will be shredded to pieces, and die"

Somewhat, hearing what Ugrok said makes Prof. K sweat a little.

'I can't stop midway? Then Liliya should be the one fueling the energy, if we got attacked then I will be better off protecting her. But I don't think she has enough energy to do that...' Prof. K thought with a frown.

Clearly, this might lead to a predicament, and he was trapped in a dilemma.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw the advanced teleportation formation flickering.

Not wasting a single second, he quickly crouches beside the formation and focuses his energy on it. Harnessing his energy, the advanced teleportation formation started to glow brighter and brighter by the second.

Shingg...

A couple of seconds later, the glow dimmed before a crowded banter can be heard.

Recovering his vision, Prof. K glanced back at the formation and saw more than a hundred people standing on it. People in Beach City who needed to be evacuated are the most important pieces of his mission right now.

'It takes almost a minute to fully teleport them...' Prof. K thought, taking a mental note.

Amongst the crowd, one man stepped forward who seems to be an Awakened, pretty strong since he still retain his elemental aura around him despite the suppression, "Are you the one who is tasked to evacuate the people?" he asked.

"Yes, you can call me K. Please guide your people to that hole over there" Prof. K replied.

Upon hearing this, the Awakened nodded his head as he was the one who was tasked to organize the people and safely teleport them to Dargena City. But before he could do that, Prof. K stopped him, "Wait, there's something you need to prepare"

"Prepare? What will that be?" the Awakened asked again, confused.

Glancing briefly at the portal to the Cluster Domain, Prof. K then said, "Inside you will be met with a Cyclopes and his son, the two are quite terrifying in appearance. But tell your people that it's fine, the two of them are friends"

Frowning as he doesn't know what a Cyclopes is, the Awakened decided to check.

Telling the people to stay here for a second, the Awakened went inside the portal and enter the Cluster Domain. But it was then his expression turns pale when he was shadowed by a huge creature in front of him.

"Ugrok name is Ugrok. Don't worry, Ugrok will not hurt you" Ugrok said.

But despite having pure intention, the bulging muscles, vicious tusks, and his monstrous face make even the Awakened's body tense in response. Not even answering, he quickly got out again, his face turned pale.

Looking at the Awakened, Prof. K smile wryly, "Are you okay?"

"I- I think there's going to be some adjustment, the people will not be able to handle that. Can you tell that thing, Ugrok to sit down a little bit far away or something instead of standing right in front of the portal?" the Awakened asked, he was sweating profusely.

Upon hearing this, Prof. K nodded his head and did exactly that.

Meanwhile, Liliya is currently at the entrance of Emham Forest talking with the guards.

Albeit her true reason for being there is to see whether there are suspicious Awakened going into the Emham Forest that might come from the guild belonging to the 25 Golden Crest Families, she was conversing with a bright smile on her face.

If Rex were to see her, he would definitely not recognize her.

Liliya whom he knows is silent and shy, yet she now has blossomed into an outgoing woman.

"I'll be going inside again, keep up the good work guys!"

"Okay, have a great training day in there"

Just as she turns around and heads inside Emham Forest once again, her expression instantly turns into an alert one. Glancing left and right sharply, 'Going through the entrance might be too obvious. Climbing the walls are easy, so there would be multiple potential points that they might use to infiltrate the forest'

Nodding her head, she then decided to put an explosive mark near the walls.

Specifically, she would be putting an explosive mark right on the north, east, west, and south walls of the forest. Normal Awakened wouldn't get too close to the wall, so it should be relatively fine for her to do that.

Moreover, the probability of the marks hitting the hostile Awakened is higher.

'If those Awakened retain their elemental aura, then the explosive mark wouldn't hurt them. But it's enough to alert me and Prof. K' Liliya thought before she dashed away, deciding that it was the best bet for her.

As she's completely alone, it's hard to guard multiple points like this.

Doing so without taking a risk is simply impossible, so this is the best thing she could do.

Liliya only needs ten minutes to plan her explosive mark on three points, and that only left her with the east wall. Going through the forest quickly, she then reaches the east wall and crouches beside it.

Putting her hand on the ground, she intends to engrave her red mark.

Just as she was about to do that, she suddenly felt resistance to engraving the explosive mark. A frown appeared on her face, this shouldn't have happened. Looking down, she finds that she was stepping on something.

Gathering her energy to the tip of her finger, she then touches the ground once again.

In that instant, her energy spreads through the thing she was stepping on before Liliya's eyes widened realizing what she was stepping on, 'A formation...? No, it's a teleportation formation!' she exclaimed inside her head.

But right in the next second, she finds a green knife jutting out from the formation.

Alert to the oncoming danger of the 25 Golden Crest Families, she was able to react quickly and jump in the nick of time when she saw the green knife. Liliya avoided being struck by the green knife that would have pierced her chin albeit barely.

Landing a couple of yards away, Liliya was surprised when she heard buzzing sounds.

Raising her face to scan her surroundings, she finds that there are multiple green insects that are flying around her. Just before she could do anything, these insects exploded and covered the entire place with toxic gas.

Prolonged exposure will be bad, Liliya knows this, and she decided to explode the ground.

Boom!

Under the shockwave of the explosion she created with her explosive mark, the toxic gas got pushed away and Liliya could breathe easily again. It was then three figures leaped at her from all sides, claiming her at the center.

'Each of them retains their elemental aura, they are strong!' Liliya keenly inspected.

Not foreign to this kind of situation, Liliya quickly unsheathed her daggers and retaliate, twisting her torso and defending herself from the three figures that are trying to cut her with their long swords.

Clang!

Clang!

Blocking a powerful slash, Liliya was thrown to the side by the force she was not expecting.

It was then she suddenly heard a loud banging sound echoing in the distance, Liliya had no time to react before she felt a burning sensation piercing her collarbone. She let out an involuntary grunt as she realized she had been shot and crashed on the ground.

Recovering quickly, she saw a clear hole in her collarbone. Blood began to saturate her shirt.

On top of that, she could see the veins around the clear wound begin to bulge and turn blackish, showing that the bullet is indeed poisoned.  Gazing up, she then saw the three figures standing in front of her.

Each of them wears a similar outfit, a white and green outfit. 

Liliya doesn't need to ask them to know that they belong to one of the 25 Golden Crest Families guilds, these people are trouble, and she was even more alert when more people came out of the teleportation formation.

Since there are multiple teleportation formations, their numbers reached more than a dozen.

'If there are teleportation formations here, then they must've already waited for us to come here. Seems like the news in Beah City travels faster than we anticipated' Liliya thought while holding her bleeding collarbone.

Just then a particular figure came out of the teleportation formation.

Upon arriving at the place, this man fixed his black gloves while walking graciously towards Liliya with his pair of dark purple eyes staring at her sharply. A smug smile is on his face, showing his confidence.

"For colluding with the traitor, you will be arrested by the power of the Mistin Family"

As he said that, the man stopped as his dark purple aura oozes out of his body. Clearly, this man is at the very least eighth-rank realm before the First Breath happened, and Liliya wouldn't have any chance against him.

But as she was preparing herself to do a tactical flee, a flash of lightning blitzes past her.

"Yaahooo~"

Catching the sight of this flash of lightning as well as hearing the familiar playful shout, Liliya's eyes were jolted completely wide open as she recognizes the person that came, "Dyrmir?! What are you doing here?!" she exclaimed.

Dyrmir flashed past her and kicks two Awakeend and send them crashing to the wall.

Moving quickly once again, Dyrmir reappeared in front of Liliya before he points at the man that was surprised by what he was seeing, "Come and fight Dyrmir! Dyrmir with beat you and have fun!"
