The Invincible Full-Moon System - Chapter 1599 1599: Swallowing Pride

Nothing happened the rest of the day.

Princess Davina stayed in her room composed of the necessary furniture and a dressing table.

She tried sleeping, but she couldn’t.

Not only because the room wasn’t up to her comfortable standards, but also because she was thinking about something. Early in the morning, when people haven’t even woken up yet, she sat up and rubbed her face.

A soft sigh escaped her red-glossed lips.

“Am I really that inadequate…?” Princess Davina murmured, her fingers tightening around the sheet in frustration, thinking about the fact that she doesn’t know anything about Kaelthar. “Why would Father keep this from me? Even if he has no intention of naming me his successor—matters of such importance like this should not be withheld. I’ve proven myself capable, haven’t I? So why…?”

Initially, Princess Davina didn’t know who Rex was going to meet by coming here.

But when he told her that he was meeting Kaelthar, someone from the Sky City that Duke Lorcan kept hidden, she was shocked and also skeptical at the same time. She has never heard of the name Kaelthar, and if the duke really did keep someone like him, she’d know.

Yesterday, however, when confronting Kaelthar directly, she realized that Rex was telling the truth.

Kaelthar confessed that Duke Lorcan kept him there.

And she didn’t know.

Her relationship with Duke Lorcan might be strained, but she didn’t realize that it was to this extent.

For Duke Lorcan to keep things from her shows that it’s pretty bad.

“Just because of that woman—he’d rather isolate me like this? He’d rather let the distance between us grow?” Princess Davina grimaced, disappointed further in the duke, who was blinded by desire. “But I am not giving up. I’ll show you… I’ll make you see me and take me seriously.”

A flicker of determination crossed her face.

She knew what she needed to do.

But then, she frowned, confused about something.

“If I don’t know who Kaelthar was, how did Rex know…?”

Princess Davina thought aloud as she glanced at the door.

Curious and also alert, she headed for the door.

She leaned into the corridor, glancing left and right to ensure no one was around before her eyes fixed on the room beside hers. After a brief pause to gather her thoughts, also slightly uncertain, she gave a small nod, stepped out from her room, and knocked on the door.

“Rex, it’s me.”

Princess Davina waited for an answer.

But there was none.

She knocked again, and this time, waited longer than before, but the result was still the same.

No answer.

Her brows dipped harder as she pushed the door open in a hurry.

Inside, she couldn’t find Rex anywhere.

Even the bed was still almost perfectly arranged, almost as if it hadn’t been used at all.

“Did he leave me?” Princess Davina exhaled roughly through her nose.

She already told Rex the reason as to why the two of them needed to stick together, so that Duke Lorcan wouldn’t suspect them of conspiring against him—but Rex wasn’t listening. He wouldn’t make this kind of stunt if he did.

In a hurry, Princess Davina stepped out of the room.

‘I don’t know when he left, but he has no mount. Esmeravon and I could catch up with hi-‘

Before she could finish her train of thought, she froze.

Rex had appeared at the far end of the corridor, seemingly returning from somewhere.

As he turned to return to his room, Rex paused and raised his brow slightly at the sight of Princess Davina standing there in front of his room. He continued ahead, approaching her with a clear question on his face, inquiring what Princess Davina was doing without uttering a single word.

Princess Davina wanted to ask Rex about how he came to know about Kaelthar.

But the question was stuck in her throat.

She didn’t say a single word, even when Rex stood before her, waiting for her to say something.

To explain what she was doing.

“So? Aren’t you going to explain to me why you’re standing in front of my room?”

Rex broke the silence.

Like yesterday, his gaze and tone were as cold as ice, different from his usual passive tone.

“I… I couldn’t sense your aura, so I came to check in case you leave me here.”

“You know what I want. I’m not going to leave.”

Princess Davina covered her nose with her hand, looking at Rex up and down, inspecting him.

Even yesterday, Rex had looked rough—worn down by his battle against the Voidal Monarch, his body marked with dust and dried blood that left him looking haggard. But now, he appeared even worse. She noticed fresh streaks of blood, smeared carelessly across his body, as if wiped away by his own hand, rather than a cloth.

Not to mention, he also has unhealed wounds.

Princess Davina wasn’t that close with Rex, but she was quite sure he had regeneration power.

So, it was odd to see him riddled with unhealed wounds.

‘Did he stay up through the entire night doing something—until he’s this exhausted?’ Princess Davina wandered, then her gaze narrowed. ‘He reeks of blood and sweat… He must have been battling Voidal Monsters. But why? Training? That seems terribly inefficient when he’s already worn down.’

“Where were you? What were you doing?”

“Shouldn’t it be obvious? Get out of the way.”

Rex walked past Princess Davina and went into his room, closing the door behind him.

He wanted to come back without notifying Princess Davina, but she woke up very early today.

Inside, Rex instantly went into the bathroom.

There was only a shallow stone recess filled with water and a wooden scoop resting beside it.

Rex took off his clothes with a slight groan, the fabric latching onto his fresh wounds, causing sharp pain across his entire body. Once he was naked, he placed a hand against the wall, scooped a scoopful of water, and poured it over his head.

“Arghh…”

His groan grew louder as the cold water burned the open wound.

Rex peeled off his clothes with a low groan, the fabric clinging stubbornly to the fresh wounds.

Each tug sent a flash of pain searing through his body, as if the cloth itself had grown fangs.

Stripped bare, he braced a hand against the wall to steady himself, his breaths shallow and uneven.

He dipped the wooden scoop into the water and poured it over his head in one go.

“Arghh…”

As soon as the cold water met his skin, it felt like fire.

Rex could feel the sting tearing through his open wounds, raw nerves flaring as though his flesh was being carved anew. His groan deepened, echoing in the small chamber, a guttural sound of pain mixed with sheer endurance.

Mercilessly, he poured more water over his head, letting it wipe the dirt and blood away.

Rex stared at the wall, notifications flashing in his eyes.

<Second Layer of the Blood Moon Echo: 6% / 100%>

<Warning: the user is nearing the physical limit!>

<It’s advised to rest under the moonlight before proceeding with anything.>

Reading these notifications, Rex clicked his tongue in displeasure.

He struck the wall hard in frustration.

“Even though my body adapted to the pain from the gradual penalty, I got wounded more easily, and my regeneration is also overwhelmed faster,” He muttered inwardly, frustrated at his situation. “I can’t waste any time but my body needs time to heal, damn it!”

Normally, the pain from the gradual penalty wouldn’t have any side effects on him other than pain.

However, that changed right now.

Since the pain was so bad that it even wore Rex’s mind down, it began to show side effects.

Rex really needed to finish what he was doing as soon as possible, or else he’d be toast when the Blood Moon arrives. Fortunately, though, the Blood Moon would not happen while he was still in the Spirit Realm.

He’d be back in the Mortal Realm before it happened, whether he succeeded or not in this realm.

And that gave him a better chance to endure the Blood Moon with Evelyn and Calidora there.

Other full moons aren’t a problem for Rex anymore, ever since he became the Royal Black Prince.

But the Blood Moon is still a problem.

It’s his birth moon, and no Werewolves could fully endure the effect of their birth moon.

Rex had been hunting Voidal Monsters throughout the night, which caused this damage to his body.

He used the Immortal Blood Pool that he got from creating the first layer of the Blood Moon Echo.

It amplified the potency of any blood—he gathered by 50%, and with its aid, he began the harrowing process of constructing the second layer. Hundreds were killed in the process, mainly Voidal Knights, amassing 6% of the progression.

His hunt was effective because of the Voidal Monarch’s appearance yesterday.

Most Voidal Monsters scattered in fear, disrupting their usual packs and formations.

Rex took full advantage of the chaos.

Like a predator stalking a fractured, helpless herd, he hunted them down one by one.

Be it Voidal Pawns and Voidal Knights fell before him, their corpses fueling the Immortal Blood Pool as he moved—with relentless efficiency, cutting through the dark wilderness, clearing out the village’s surroundings from any threat.

Since he was already riddled with wounds, he decided to go all out yesterday.

Once he was exhausted, he’d go back and focus on cultivating his stagnant rank with his items.

However, he didn’t expect to be this badly hurt.

System, how long until my regeneration kicks in again?

<Calculating…>

<Approximately twenty hours until full recovery.>

Twenty hours…? Can it be hastened?

<Yes, does the user want an item recommendation?>

Shoot it.

<Restora Patch item is recommended to heal the user’s wounds quicker!>

<Once the open wounds are all healed, the user’s regeneration will recover fifteen hours faster!>

Rex immediately bought the Restora Patch item.

He purchased several of them, to be exact, since he has multiple big and open wounds across his body.

As he finished cleaning himself, he got out with a towel wrapped around his waist.

Based on the description of the item, the Restora Patch is a product of the past that was made by a strong Elven Seer. It has a powerful healing ability that many sought, which also works exceptionally well on beasts.

Rex is a Werewolf, aside from being human, so the Restora Patch would be effective on him.

“Grghh…”

Slowly but surely, Rex slapped the Restora Patch on his open wounds one by one.

It was shaped like a pale green sticky cloth.

The Restora Patch could be used on only a single wound at a time, adjusting its size and shape to fit the wound. Because of this limitation, it took Rex a considerable amount of time to tend to each of his open wounds, one by one.

On top of that, there’s a problem.

“Damn it…” Rex cursed, sweat trickling down his face. “I can’t reach the ones at the back.”

No matter how much he tries, he could reach some wounds on his back.

Moreover, he was extremely exhausted, needing nothing more than meditation and the moonlight.

Rex exhaled sharply through his nose, grabbed a few patches, and made his way to the room next door.

He knocked a couple of times.

Almost instantly, the door swung open, and there stood Princess Davina.

She seemed surprised to find Rex at her doorstep, especially knowing that he was upset with her.

“Can you help me with these?”

Rex raised a hand, showing the patches that he brought with him.

Seeing this, the corner of Princess Davina’s lips curled a little before she stepped aside.

Moments later.

Rex was sitting on the floor, his body facing the bed, while Princess Davina tended to his wound.

Silence enveloped the two, but there wasn’t the hostility and tension like earlier.

Only profound silence.

Princess Davina was the one to break that silence as she was near finishing.

“Did we not agree to work together for the time being?”

“Hmm.”

“Then you should start by telling the truth. Don’t keep secrets, and nothing like yesterday will happen again.”

Rex played with his finger, exhaling deeply.

Seems like he has no other choice.
