The Invincible Full-Moon System

Based on the number of Lunar Bees captured by the other kingdoms—he expected that the treasury chamber would have a lot of items. Not to mention, all of the treasures should be a high-rank one on average as the Honey Moon happened at the Second Breath.

Rex was expecting at least one Origin-rank item but that might be a stretch.

He would be happy to have a couple of legendary-rank items.

As opposed to having the treasury beneath the castle, or behind a secret door—the treasury chamber for the castle was located above, between the ceilings. In order to reach there, one would need to go to the hallway behind where Rex's parents were buried.

"Is it really okay for me to come?"

"It's not like you're a stranger, Liliya. Are you nervous because this is your first time in here?"

"I am. If you spent time on the street, you'd know that you're practically revered like a God"

Rex chuckled, there's no way he didn't know that with his keen hearing.

"Really? Then shouldn't you kiss my hand or something?"

"You want me to? Then give me your hand"

"I'm joking, why are you pressuring me? You know that I'm a simple man"

Seeing him back out, Liliya snorted, she knew he would give in the moment she did that.

"Is that your parents' graves?"

"Yeah, that's them"

"Can you wait for a bit? I'll pay my respect"

"You're religious?"

"Even if I'm not religious, there's no harm in paying my respect"

Having no qualms, Rex gestured for Liliya to go on ahead while he waited on the side.

Other than the others who occasionally visited his parents' graves, there was nobody else.

Considering their graves were inside the castle, this is only natural.

It took about five minutes for Liliya to pay her respect before both of them continued.

Arriving at the hallway behind the graves, Liliya looked around and found nothing here—not even a room was here. She waited momentarily before her eyes widened slightly, when she and Rex began dissipating into refined energy.

Both of them disappeared and reappeared in a completely different room.

And the moment they arrived, Liliya could feel dense energy clamping on her from all sides.

She felt breathing in this place was hard.

But as soon as she scanned her surroundings, she realized why this was happening.

Currently, she was standing at the center of a big chamber roughly the size—of a basketball court. Blooming spires of baby lunar blue held the ceiling, and the walls were smooth marble white, a stark contrast to most interiors of the castle.

Not a lot of items were inside this chamber, in fact, most spots of the chamber were empty.

However, the few items that hosted the place emanated a choking energy.

So dense and thick that Liliya could see the golden energy swirl inside the room like wind.

"Just how strong these treasures were to emit this dense energy?" She uttered.

Upon hearing this, Rex scanned the room with the System.

"Most of them are ninth-rank and a couple of them are tenth-rank, below my expectations"

"Below expectations? I think Ratmawati City only has a couple of ninth-rank treasures"

Liliya could only shake her head, Rex's view of things had changed a lot.

Then again, he is one of if not the strongest entities in the world.

"Where did you get these treasures from? Did you rob a God's vault or something?"

"From the Honey Moon but close. Come, let's have a look around"

As this was Rex's first time to check the treasury chamber, he also wanted to see what kind of treasures he had in his hands. He roamed around the place, and found that most of them were battle equipment and elixirs.

Most of the battle equipment was around the eighth and ninth rank.

"Tell me if you like any and I'll give it to you. I also know about everything here"

"Really? Also, how could you know everything when you're here for the first time like me"

"I have my ways"

"Then what's this one?"

Rex glanced at the item Liliya was pointing at, it was a talisman shaped like a waxing moon.

His eyes glistened as he scanned the item.

"It's called the Golden Wax Talisman, crafted from a special honeycomb dipped in lunar gold"

"What does it do?"

"It offers protection from a single deadly spell close to the tenth rank. A one-time thing"

"Close to tenth-rank...? It's too valuable then, you'll need it more"

Upon hearing this, Rex chuckled a little.

Liliya was the perfect person to make him realize how far he has come through her reactions.

Seeing Rex chuckling, she raised an eyebrow questioningly.

"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"

"I don't need an item like that"

"You don't need a treasure that could essentially give you a second life?"

"Nope. If the talisman blocked the attack, I would be more reckless knowing that I have it as a backup. I already have something similar to that, so I don't need it. Besides, if the talisman blocked the attack, I wouldn't feel the pain. I need it to keep my mind awake in battles"

Upon hearing this, Liliya was stunned.

But she smiled remembering what Rex was, he was not only a Human.

'He's a Werewolf, of course, he needed the pain to become stronger' She thought wryly.

Moving on from that treasure, Liliya asked for a couple more items along the way.

Among them was the Amber of Eternal Moon—a gem that could freeze time in an area for a couple of seconds. Silverbranch Harp that could produce music that would calm those who heard it, and also Dewdrop of Celestial Midnight, a magical elixir that could increase—one's lifespan alongside returning lost youth or heal a grievous wound.

On top of that, Rex also found that there were jars containing powerful spirits.

Prof. K must've got the spirits from these jars.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Oh... what about this one?"

Liliya went over to the corner and took a golden scepter that was taller than herself.

Or at least, she tried to take the scepter but couldn't lift it up for long.

Clang!

"So heavy..."

Upon seeing this, Rex scanned the scepter and learned what the scepter was.

...

<Gleaming Scepter of Ambrosia>

Equipment Rank: Ninth-rank

Durability: 100/100

Rune Slots: 0/1 (Max: 1)

Weapon Ego: -

Description: An ancient scepter believed to contain the nurturing power of the Honey Moon. It has the ability to enhance the innate power of the wielder, equipped with a gem bathed in honeyed lunar water, and forged by a known Werewolf blacksmith for a month straight.

→ +100,000 Agility

Abilities:

→ Gift Amplifier: Strengthen the gift of the wielder slightly.

...

Rex frowned when he saw the scepter's description.

It provided a higher stat bonus than my Golden Imperium Fingerguards...?

He remembered that the stat bonus provided by Golden Imperium Fingerguards was not a lot different compared to this scepter, despite the fingerguards. being an eleventh-rank item. Of course, Rex questioned this.

But the System provided him with the answer he needed.

<Notice: Although the Golden Imperium Fingerguards didn't provide a high bonus stat, it has abilities that far surpassed, the lower-ranked equipment. To make up for its lackluster bonus stat, it gave the user powerful abilities.

Upon reading this, Rex nodded.

From the fingerguards, he did gain an ability that made him immune to mental attacks.

"What do you know? That scepter is perfect for you" Rex mused.

He went past Liliya and grabbed the scepter.

Contrary to Liliya who couldn't lift the scepter for too long, he grabbed it with relative ease.

System, why can't she carry it?

Realizing that the scepter wasn't that heavy to the point that it was beyond Liliya's strength, Rex decided to ask the System about it. The scepter was around three to four hundred kilos, and that's nothing for an eighth-rank realm like Liliya.

<Notice: the scepter's intelligence stat is too high for Liliya to wield it>

Knowing the cause, Rex browsed the shop and branded the scepter with a rune.

He then handed it over to Liliya.

"Try lifting it up again"

"Okay, I really can't but I'll try"

Unlike the first time, Liliya was surprised to find that she could lift the scepter fine.

Seeing this—Rex nodded before he explained, "It's called the Gleaming Scepter of Ambrosia, it's perfect for you because it could enhance the power of your mark. I suggest you take it, a gift from me before you became a captain"

Liliya swung the scepter left and right, feeling the weight of the scepter.

Since the tip, covering the orb was a sharp edge, she could also use this scepter as a spear.

"I'll accept this gift then, thanks!" Liliya bowed slightly, holding the scepter dearly.

Rex waved his hand, it wasn't a big deal for him.

He then proceeded to scour the rest of the treasures and found an interesting one.

At the other corner of the room was a black tree bearing black cherries—it had no leaves and looked like a dead tree from afar but it wasn't, it just had a black color. Also, it was not big—a bit over Rex's head.

From the description, the tree is called Millennia Spirit Tree.

It's a mutated tree that could produce Millennia Black Cherries that contain a very versatile energy capable of adapting to any form of power. Whether Awakened, mutated animals, or Supernaturals, anyone could harness—the energy within these cherries. Due to that, these cherries are a universally coveted resource.

On top of that, these black cherries also have a natural property of nurturing.

This means that once a black cherry is converted, it has the tendency to expand the storage.

If an Awakened ate this, they would find their mana reserves expanded.

Not to mention, the description also stated that the tree has different stages.

It could become stronger the more it was fed.

An eleventh-rank mutated tree... it wasn't hostile and could help anyone who got ahold of it.

Rex couldn't hide his smile, this tree alone made gathering the Lunar Bees worth it.

His frustration over that Lunar Bee was repaid in full by this mutated tree.

Based on the description, it only feeds on kingly energy, preferably Honey Moon or souls.

Finding that this tree was immensely useful, Rex harvested the black cherries.

He got thirteen of them and then put them and the tree into the inventory.

"Is the tree good?"

"Yes, and I don't think you're ready to hear about it so I'll not say"

Upon hearing this, Liliya didn't probe further.

She knew that Rex had a high taste, and if he said that this tree was good when he dealt a ninth-rank item as if it was scrap then the black tree must've been something incredible. A tenth-rank treasure or perhaps higher.

If Rex heard what Liliya thought then he would deem her guess correct.

Pivoting to the side, Rex's eyes caught sight of a hidden, small glowing gem.

Approaching this glowing gem—he pushed aside the other equipment in the way—before he was blinded by the radiating light coming from the gem. His eyes adjusted, and only then did he scan the gem that turned out to be a diadem.

Not a gem as he initially thought but a beautifully crafted yellow diadem.

Its edges were flickering with yellowish energy like snow.

...

<Lunarstone Diadem>

Item Rank: Eleventh-rank (Origin)

Description: It's a rock that was forged by the Honey Full Moon for being at the closest point to the sky. It has absorbed a vast amount of energy—along with a strand of other full moons that appeared on that night, and also a flicker of celestial energy.

...

Upon reading this, Rex smirked as his last reward from battling Yulthar came to fruition.

He couldn't reach it before but with this, he could.

In fact, stepping into this treasury chamber he was hoping that there would be something he could use to help him reach the reward. Reaching the tenth-rank realm—is a must, and if Rex succeeds in this, he might get incredibly close to that unachievable realm.

But his hope was answered, something good finally happened to him.

Now... It's time to make a Goddess' nightmare, a reality.
