Chapter 970 Cornered on the Wall

Huff...

Huff...

Returning proved more arduous for Rex than his earlier journey here, the toll of the Hare Moon was increasing with each step. He was suffering, and the dense snow only made it worse for him, an additional obstacle from the environment.

It came to the point that each bit of moment to his head stung him like a needle.

The Full Moon has never ceased to be a problem for him.

Even though I'm a Royal Black Prince, the Full Moon is still a substantial event. It's the nature of Werewolves. Just what threshold I would need to reach in order to completely disregard the Full Moons?



Yeah, right. It was a lot of effort when I still couldn't get the third one.

Sighing to himself, Rex continued onward.

He made it a mile from where he was, already using the sword as a cane to support himself.

Moreover, Rex tried asking Devo whether he could change the weather so that there were fewer problems along the way, but it didn't work. Despite trying his hardest, Devo couldn't influence the weather produced by the Shifting Realm.

It's not that he can't, but he couldn't properly grasp the weather here.

Almost as if they were not weather but spells instead.

"Bear it with me. Don't worry, I'll keep my distance properly" Mavenna came from behind.

Opposed to touching Rex directly, which would only make it worse, she did something else entirely. Under his surprised gaze, Mavenna spread her two pairs of wings to either side and with one chant, took them off like a piece of equipment.

In hindsight, the pair of wings were completely different than those Rex had ever seen.

Usually, Demon wings were layered with skin.

But the ones that Mavenna has were almost like angel wings, covered with majestic, long, and pink feathers. Simply calling it beautiful is an understatement, the wings were akin to being made from the purest essence of demonic energy.

Rex almost had his eyes poked out when he saw this.

Additionally, the wings were also mystifyingly aglow, shimmering like the soft blush of dawn.

Since when did wings could be taken off like that? Are they not real wings?

Finding that the two pairs of wings were able to be taken off with a light incantation, Rex frowned as he didn't know about this. Even the wings that he possessed from his Gladiator Form weren't able to be taken off like that, despite being made by the mix of spirit energy and mana.

Before he could ask, Mavenna already went over to his back and placed the wings on him.





"Just use this," Mavenna said, stamping the wings to Rex's back with magic. "Since you're not a Demon, the wings wouldn't acknowledge you. You wouldn't gain any of its bonuses, but you would still be able to fly although the wings only retain 50% of their original speed"

Upon hearing this, Rex snapped out of his daze and looked to his back.

He saw four wings adorning his back, and they were like additional limbs for him.

Stunned momentarily, Rex cautiously tested the movement of the wings, discovering that they responded as effortlessly as his own hands. He was still stupified by this, and the wings were quite heavy for him, but this must be attributed to the incompatibility between him and the Wings of Impurity.

Mavenna saw the look of shock on Rex's face, and she found it rather weird.

"You seem surprised, haven't you seen this before?" She asked.

Rex turned his attention to her and nodded his head, "Of course I'm surprised, I've never seen something like this. From all the Demons I've faced, none of them have wings like you, much less take off their wings like this"

Listening to his honesty, Mavenna chuckled in amusement.

"In a fight, we don't take these off because of the provided enhancements" She replied.

Without even needing to ask, Rex definitely only faced Demons during a fight, and naturally, these Demons wouldn't take their wings off like this. Taking it off would mean weakening themselves, so it's natural for Rex to be surprised by this.

Even seeing Demon Wings was a rare sight for him.

Only recently, against the Enchanters from earlier, he saw actual Demonic Wings.

Looking at the wings tenderly, Mavenna explained, "It's similar to an elemental weapon for the Awakened, but these wings were exclusive only for us older ones. Mainly Blue Demons, Succubus, and Incubus have these wings as the wings would make them stronger"

"Red Demons took a different path, an ultimate ability called Hellgate Ruination" She added.

lightsnοvεl.cοm Just from Mavenna's explanation alone, Rex managed to gain another information about the ancient Demons and also deduce that the Red Demons have the Hellgate Ruination ability, much like a Pneuma Spell for Awakened instead of wings.

Both come from the same race, but their source and path of power are completely different.

Nodding in affirmation, the two continued back.

Compared to earlier, they managed to cover the same amount of distance with less time.

With the help of the Wings of Impurity, he glided just above the ground, way faster than his pace earlier. Even when confronted by a snowstorm, a relentless force akin to a freight train, the Wings of Impurity prevailed, ultimately helping Rex persevere through the tempest with a touch of challenge.

In a moment, the edge of the Shifting Realm could be seen, indicating that they were near.

Along the way, they didn't encounter the army.

However, Rex assumed that the army had already gone back or heads to help Edward's side.

"Knowing that the Hare Moon is coming, why didn't your Luna come?" Mavenna suddenly asked, her eyes glanced over at the morphing full moon and pondered about a question that she found quite odd.

Rex almost instantly answered, "And have her bear the risk of meeting the Executor? No"

"I don't think you think about this enough, your way is not the best way to come here. It's the Hare Moon, your Luna has also gotten stronger. Going through with the meeting without your Luna would only make it worse for you" She replied, disagreeing with Rex's method.

Despite the Luna coming here is dangerous, the method he took is more dangerous.

Even Rex agrees with that in his heart.

But there's one factor that Mavenna didn't include, it was because she doesn't know him.

At the very least, going here myself will only put me in danger.

More than anything, he would willingly place himself in danger to shield others rather than subject them to danger. Gistella, however, presented a unique circumstance. He reluctantly made her do this as her role is very essential.

Upon reaching back to the encampment, it was regrettably already dark.

He already rushed here as fast as he could.

Rex lifted his gaze skyward, discovering the initial harbinger of the Hare Moon—a bluish aura entwined around the moon, like a serpent poised to envelop the entire celestial sphere, cloaking it in its ethereal color that rejuvenates and also burns Werewolves that were graced directly by its light.
