The Invincible Full-Moon System

Terror started to creep into their body, forcing their minds into dismay.

Not one of them has anticipated the fact that the human that Kendel fired at would be able to dodge that arrow. Each of them has trained in bowmanship for all their lives, bows are still the main weapon Dark Elves use just like the Elves.

Because of that, they have a sense of pride in their ability to wield a bow.

Although that was the case they were completely off guard by this situation, Kendel’s arrow was precise and the others even praised him for that shot as it was a nigh perfect display of using the Dark Nature Shampou, the Dark Elves’ martial art of archery.

It was supposed to hit the human cleanly and killed it, no one expected something like this.

On top of that their fear got amplified as the human’s index finger is pointing straight at them. Despite the thick bushes and branches of the tree along the way, he’s able to pinpoint their location almost instantly.

Someone like this human is the Elves’ and Dark Elves’ worst nightmare.

“W-We need to flee, that human is not normal!”

“I agree, we’ll hurry back and meet the Watchers and seek their help”

Upon saying that all of the young Dark Elves nodded their heads and jumped to the tree branch on their side and started to make their way back. Kendel was the last one to move for a second, he looks at the human he shot at and finds its body slowly disappearing into the darkness.

Just like being choked by an invisible energy, Kendel feel his throat tighten.

‘Dark Elementalist?! Oh, no… we need to hurry”

Knowing exactly that the Dark Elementalist of the humans is the most brutal out of all the Awakened there, Kendel immediately ran after his friends not wanting to idle any longer with the Dark Elementalist on his tail.

Swoosh!

Tap!

Each of the Dark Elves keeps on jumping from tree to tree, masterfully going through the forest.

One can’t help but notice that every time their feet touch the tree branch, there’s a stream of energy going into their feet before helping them jump further and quicker. It’s likE nature itself IS helping them to run away from the place.𝓞𝓥𝓵xt.𝕔𝑜𝚖

With the forest terrain, Dark Elves have an environmental advantage over other Supernatural.

Although they were not as quick and swift as Elves which has completely become one with the nature of the day, they are still quite fast and nimble. But despite their best efforts, their eyes widened seeing a black shadowy figure standing at a tree branch in front of them, blocking their way.

“This way!”

Gathering power in his legs, Kendel takes a sharp turn to avoid the shadowy figure.

Following Kendel at the very front, the other Dark elves also take a sharp turn to the left upon seeing the shadowy figure looking at them hauntingly. It just stood there, with its eyes blankly gazing at them running desperately.

Not stopping at that, the shadowy figure, blessed by the darkness itself keeps reappearing.

The Dark Elves are starting to feel the pressure and crisis inside of them seeing the shadowy figure keeps reappearing in front of at their side, doing nothing but watch with its eyes. Slowly they started to realize that it was impossible to flee from this Dark Elementalist.

“A couple of Watchers should be at our front, let’s hur- woaahh!!”

Before he can complete his sentence, Kendel exclaimed before the other Dark Elves also cries out as the tree branches that they were about to step on turn into black ash. Finding nothing to stand on, the four of them fall to the ground before slamming into the ground.

Thud!

Crash!

Due to the height of the trees, their falls look quite painful as they roll a bit before stopping.

Just as they were about to recover and stand up from the fall, their eyes landed on the shadowy figure that is standing in front of them. “Human! You’re trespassing our territory, don’t blame us for attempting to kill you!”, Kendel said with a trembling voice.

Although he wanted to put on a strong front, his voice doesn’t display that entirely.

“You can speak human language…?”, Kyran asked when he finds that Kendel is talking not in Dark Elves’ language, and this makes his eyes flash in excitement as this is going to help him a lot, he already feared that none of the Dark Elves can talk in human language.

Upon hearing this, Kendel nodded his head, “Yes, I can”

“Can they speak the human language too?”, Kyran asked, gazing at the others.

Finding that Kyran’s eyes are glancing at the three of them, the three look at Kendel in reflex which shows exactly that they don’t understand what Kyran is saying. At that moment, Kyran can’t help but smile deviously, “You… You have a high standing in the Dark Elves kingdom, aren’t you?”

Kendel gulps harshly as Kyran read him like an open book, he can’t hide anything at all.

As he was trying to find a way to escape the situation he was in right now, Kyran slowly walks out of the darkness and exposes his body again. Kendel looks at Kyran carefully, but his eyes suddenly caught sight of a mark that is engraved on Kyran’s chest.

Due to the torn shirt from the arrow earlier, half of his bare chest is exposed.

With the hint of developed muscles that made his chest stick out, it’s clear that Kyran is not the same as when he was found by Rex way back. Everything about him is different, especially due to his bloodline evolving.

Upon seeing the mark, Kendel’s breath started to quicken as his eyes got increasingly open wider.

Not only Kendel, but the other Dark Elves also did the same thing.

Engraved clearly on Kyran’s chest was the mark that is shaped like a star and its glistening silver, the mark that forces him to look down to the ground with a hint of fear. “Hmm…? What do you know about this mark?”

“M-My apology for attacking you, we are in the wrong”, Kendel replied meekly.

Although he was caught for having a high standing in the Dark Elves, it shouldn’t make him turn meek this quickly. Kendel must’ve realized something, and Kyran wanted to know exactly why he was behaving like this from seeing the Silverstar Mark. “How do you know about the Silverstar Mark?”

“I-It was Q-Queen Shanaela, she was the one who told us about it”, Kendel replied truthfully.

With the sizzling dark element that is cloaking Kyran’s body, he doesn’t have the guts to lie as Kyran can even read him like an open book earlier. If he was caught in a lie then he’s not going to get out of this in one piece.

Upon hearing this, Kyran smiled in interest, “Oh… tell me everything about it”

A moment later,

Kyran was hiding inside Kendel’s shadow as the two of them stepped into the Dark Elves’ kingdom that is not that far away from where they met earlier, and as expected, the number of Dark Elves here is as few as the last time Kyran was here.

In order to make Kendel bring him in, Kyran swallowed the other Dark Elves with darkness.

Even though the urge of killing them resurfaced again, he knows that their relationship will sour if he did that so he just teleported the Dark Elves into the Humming Damned Forest. It would take some time for them to come back here.

Although from Kendel’s perspective, Kyran is taking them hostage.

But Kyran doesn’t want to clear that misunderstanding as he deliberately makes Kendel thinks that he has his friends, and now the two of them are walking inside the great tree of the Dark Elves, passing other Dark Elves that lived here.

Similar to the Elves, the Dark Elves are living in their own Great Tree.

Even though Kyran has never seen an Elf’s Great Tree, he thought that it probably won’t top the Great Tree of the Dark Elves. Standing strongly like a skyscraper, the Great Tree turns out to be made with hundreds if not thousands of trees that are intertwined in a spiral and becoming one.

Nightly shade is still present, embellishing the Great Tree with a comforting hue of the darkness.

Despite the spiraling trees that created this majestic Great Tree, there’s an entrance to the center of the tree which has more houses attached to the trees stacked in layers. Without even asking, Kyran knows that there’s a hierarchy of houses here.

Apart from the Great Tree, small cocoon houses can be seen throughout the way.

Kyran was quite impressed by these small wooden houses that are neatly packed like the city of humans, it made the city looks very tidy and beautiful with darker color flowers that can be seen all around the place.

Both of them are heading to a place that Kendel wanted to show, it’s regarding Queen Shanaela.

Just before they both went into this place, Kendel told Kyran that Queen Shanaela has been going around with her trusted Elves to band together and refuse the war between humanity and the high-rank Supernatural races.

Each of them that is not a part of the high-rank Supernatural races is cannon fodder.

Casualties for them are mounting as they made up the huge bulk of the fight in the war, and many of them are said to be exhausted in power and also find the fire of revenge inside their hearts dimming rapidly.

Queen Shanaela’s demand was simple, and that is only to stay out of the war.

Although Kendel was quite confused about why she suddenly become like this, Kyran has a solid guess about why she was acting like this. ‘Rex did shocks her to the core with his King Mark, I bet she made a deal or say something that made Rex let her go back then’

It didn’t take long before they went inside the Great Tree and goes deeper inside.

Kyran was quite skeptical but he can still run away from this place if something bad happened, and he also got his Werewolf Form. With a high-rank Werewolf form, the Dark Elves wouldn’t dare lay a hand on him.

Because of that he’s not worried and lets Kendel leads him to a huge withered flower.

Standing on top of the withered flower located at the very end of the inside of the Great Tree, Kendel chanted a spell that imbued energy into the flower before the flower revived again and brought them to a house attached to the inside of the Great Tree.

It’s like going on an elevator but using a flower instead, which is a unique experience.

Upon seeing the house they were entering, Kyran frowns as this house is located near the very top, way higher than the rest of the houses, “Are you some kind of royalty or something? A Prince maybe?”

“No, I’m not. I’m just from one of the nobilities”, Kendel replied before he stepped into the house.

Just as he enters the house and closed the door behind him, Kyran came out after sensing that there was nobody inside the house except for the two of them. Looking around, he finds that the house is mostly made of wood.

Only the outside of the house has a darker shade of wood, probably due to enchantment.

Inside the house is quite spacious compared to what Kyran thought by seeing it from the outside, but Kyran didn’t inspect the place further seeing Kendel follow the corridor and head to a room below the center of the house.

Getting inside, it seems to be a small throne room with two wooden thrones at the center.

While he was looking around the room, Kendel takes out a leather scroll before placing it on a round table at the center. “Here, this is what I wanted to show you. Every race that participates in Queen Shanaela’s suggestion needs to make a written pact, it’s to swear an oath to not be involved in the war again when the time comes”

Kyran looks at the written pact and finds that there are many signatures from different people.

Although he can’t read the actual words of the pact since it’s written in Dark Elves’ language, he can know that this is some kind of agreement that the Dark Elves are agreeing to. ‘I can tell this to Rex, maybe with this I can convince him to make the Dark Elves our friend as a third party and work together to protect ourselves’

But just as he thought of that, Kyran’s body stiffens when he heard a voice coming from behind.

“Sometimes, inexperience brings the facade of the feeling of invincibility. Arrogance will bloom and later you find that there’s always someone bigger than you. At that moment, you’ve unknowingly realized that you’ve been inexperienced until that day. Do you think so too?”
