The Invincible Full-Moon System

Like a restless mother bird that searched for food to feed its hatchlings no matter if there’s rainstorm or snow, Rex is currently sitting on the throne in the great hall while applying ointment to the severe wounds he suffered from the first ascension trial.

It’s true that he’s weakened right now, the external foreign Origin energy is messing with his body.

But there’s no time to waste for him to heal first for a couple of days before dealing with the problems. For all he knows, Kyran might be going through a horrendous moment right now that simply can’t be let on for longer.

Rex is waiting for Flunra and Evelyn that are going to accompany him.

Although Adhara is still unconscious inside the castle, he simply has no other choice but to trust Gistella in protecting her. With the Ice and Snow Full Moon still activated, Rex still needs Evelyn’s presence to block the direct exposure that is freezing for him.

With the Ice and Snow Full Moon still shining, any Werewolf pack is forced to stay together.

Despite trusting Gistella to protect the castle while they are gone, Rex wouldn’t just let her alone here as he needs immediate information if the castle is being attacked. In that case, he can hurry back to help if the situation escalated.

Knowing that Rex walks out of the castle and stands on the bridge.

Instantly his entire body feels cold again but the leftover warmth from the intimate act he did with Evelyn is still protecting him, the absolute coldness doesn’t feel as cold as the first exposure. But it will eventually freeze Rex if he keeps being exposed directly like this.

Looking up to the sky, Rex then shouted, “Devo!!”

Rex called out to his spirit with a thunderous voice that reverberated into the sky, and instantly after that a streak of black lightning descend from the sky and hits the ground in front of him, exposing Devo’s misty presence.

“You called me?” Devo asked with his eyes fixated on Rex.

All this while Devo has already been sent out to search for the lightning stone mine, Rex needed it in order to make his castle stronger. It’s been days but there are still no results, but Rex finds it natural as elemental stone mine is pretty much searched for by the Supernaturals.

Finding one lightning stone mine untapped is unlikely, but there’s still a chance.

“I want you to stop searching for the lightning stone mine for a moment and keep track of movement around this place, make sure that there are no opposing forces that would attack the castle while I’m gone. If you notice a potential attack, inform me instantly. Can you do that?” Rex instructed with a serious expression.

But Devo didn’t mind as he already got what he wanted, a little bit of freedom. “Yes, I can.”

With that Rex wave his hands again before he turns around and heads back to the castle. Devo on the other hand also returns back into the sky, keeping his attention on the castle’s surroundings just like Rex wanted.

Upon returning to the great hall, Rex finds that the others are already there.

Due to most of their items being left in the mansion inside sector 2, they don’t have their battle equipment anymore. Rex bought Evelyn and Flunra a simple black combat suit for 10,000 gold each, it would provide them with basic protection for now.

Rex can’t buy better equipment, he doesn’t have the budget to do that right now.

“What about her?” Flunra asked while pointing at Gistella.𝐎𝒱𝓵xt.𝐜𝒪𝕞

Shifting his attention to Gistella, he finds her blushing slightly and averted his gaze. Just a moment ago, they are trapped in pleasure so it’s not that surprising for her to still have that stuck in her mind. Even Rex clears his throat in response.

Reaching out his hand, Rex then said, “Come here, Gistella”

With light steps Gistella take Rex’s hand before his eyes sparkled as he scanned her with the system, ‘The cursed creature that demanded the curse, it definitely belongs to the Witch of Chaos. I’ve never seen her in person, but I have a feeling that she knows me and deliberately attacks the castle when she knows that I’m not available…’

‘Just which side is she on? I have no idea’ Rex thought with a frown.

<Scanning…>

<Scanning complete!>

<Gistella has been infected by an unknown curse that finds her a suitable vassal, her vital conditions are stable but there’s no guarantee that she would stay like this. Curses are a different realm of power, not necessarily stronger but definitely more complicated>

Rex frowned when he read this, it seems Flunra is true to suspect the curse is inside Gistella.

‘Can you find out what kind of curse is inside her?’

<No, the curse link with Gistella is still juvenile. Only when the link is established can the curse’s identity can be explored, usually when the curse effect is starting to take a toll on the vassal can it finally be identified>

Instinctively, Rex looks at Gistella with a troubled look.

Although the system said that, Rex knows that there’s nothing impossible for the system at this point, ‘If that’s the case, there must be a way to hasten the curse’s growth without harming Gistella. Am I correct?’

<Yes, but the user doesn’t have enough gold to search for the required items>

Just like he had already expected, there’s definitely a way but he doesn’t have access to it. ‘I really need to search for elemental stones, maybe I can demand some from them? But that doesn’t really work well in the long run, it would just give the relationship bad faith’

Shaking his head, Rex then said, “If you feel anything, lock yourself up in your bed chamber”

“There’s a curse inside of you but I can’t find out what it is, and the cursed creature that came here for the curse inside you might come back when I’m gone. But don’t worry, I’ll be here to save you if that ever happens” he added convincingly.

Gistella was quite surprised, but she nodded her head deciding to trust Rex.

It’s worrying that a curse finds its way into her, but if Rex said it’s fine then it should be fine. Out of the people here, Rex is the most reliable one in taking care of anything. Added to what happened earlier, she trusted him even more.

Nodding his head, Rex then looks to the other and heads out, “Let’s go, we have things to do”

Meanwhile, the Great Tree of the Dark Elves.

Uncle Isniu alongside the other remaining Dark Elves that helped Adhara and Gistella against the horde of cursed creatures got back to their territory, they managed to go through the eyes of the Watchers and got inside their kingdom.

Not one of the Dark Elves here know what they did, and they wanted to keep it that way.

While heading deeper into the Great Tree where his house is located, Uncle Isniu chanted a spell before he gets on the withered flower. Just like an elevator or a lift, the withered flower revived again and brought him to a particularly big house attached to the tree.

But as soon as he reached the big house, he sensed Kendel standing in front of the door.

“Kendel? Why are you standing there?” Uncle Isniu asked, he was confused as to why Kendel is standing in front of the door awkwardly and not getting inside, he was the son of the owner of the house after all.

Glancing at Uncle Isniu, he then replied meekly, “F-Father is waiting inside…”

Upon hearing this Uncle Isniu’s expression tighten realizing that Kendel’s father is back, he nodded his head before entering the big house. Following the corridor, Uncle Isniu went straight to the small throne room.

Knock! Knock!

Giving a couple of gentle knocks, Uncle Isniu enters the throne room.

Sitting on the throne is a figure clad in black and steel armor, covering his head is a crimson hooded robe that also shrouded his face in the darkness. Realizing that Uncle Isniu is standing in front of him, the figure slowly lifted his face to look at Uncle Isniu.

Exposing his glaring bright yellow eyes, the figure stares at Uncle Isniu for a brief moment.

Despite being related through blood, the tension inside the throne room is building up to an insurmountable level. Even Kendel that just got inside the room feel the choking tension inhibiting his lungs to reach their maximum capacity.

Black ink markings can be seen decorating the figure’s face in some kind of pattern.

The center of the figure’s face alongside his forehead is dyed completely black, only the eye section of the face is his actual skin. Soon the corner of the figure’s mouth quirks up a little into a smirk, “Is there something you want to tell me, Blind Isniu”

“Is there any merit in me saying when you already know what I did?” Uncle Isniu replied.

Upon hearing this daunting reply the figure chuckled as he stood up from the throne, he descend the stairs slowly while keeping his eyes on Uncle Isniu, “Due to that fool’s action, the Tigerman found out about the Oath Pact. We’re at the edge with them, and you decided to send a helping hand to the Silverstar Pack?

“Is it wrong for me to assume that you know if we got found out, we can’t explain ourselves?”

Not wanting to back down from his resolve, Uncle Isniu replied sternly, “Not one of the races that are a part of the Oath Pact dare to make the first move, we can be the one to do that. If they know we’re aligning ourselves with the Sivlerstar Pack fully, then they would follow our footst-“

“There’s a reason why nobody wants to be the first, Isniu!” the figure intervened sharply.

With an obvious hint of anger in his eyes, the figure glared at Uncle Isniu. Grinding his sharp fangs, the figure then turns around, “The Dwarves are helping us desolate the Tigerman, but if ever one of them managed to escape then they would report us to the high-ranking races. You take many of our abled people and come back with only a handful when we can use their strength to focus on taking the Tigerman down, is that really wise of you?”

Although he knows the risk, he knows that half-determining things wouldn’t get them anywhere.

“One of the Silverstar Pack Members visited us, I can see that he’s trying to search for information regarding the Oath Pack. It’s clear to me that he’s on our side, we can develop a relationship with the Silverstar Pack, they’ll make a mighty ally” Uncle Isniu defended himself.

But the figure already sat back on the throne still with angry eyes, “It’s not your call to make”

“King Jonik is still hesitant but you decide something that is out of your jurisdiction yourself, and that is unacceptable. For putting the Kingdom in danger, you’re sentenced to the Dark Nature Tribulation” the figure declared before two Dark Elves guards entered the room abruptly.

Instead of being riled up, Uncle Isniu smiled as he got apprehended by the two guards.

Just as he was about to be taken away from the house and brought to the Dark Nature Tribulation, the ground suddenly shakes which caught the figure and the others inside the throne room off guard.

“What’s happening? Is it the Tigerman?!” the figure abruptly stands up from the throne.

Quickly the figure and Kendel went out of the house and looks down to the ground, their eyes then saw a Dark Elf running into the center of the inside of the Great Tree and shouting, “Humans!! Three humans landed in front of the walls!!”

“Humans…?” the figure mutters with a frown.

In response to this, the Dark Elf’s noble head families jump down from their respective houses.

One of them wears a fancy black with crimson hue armor and a long royal cape, it’s clear that he was King Jorik, the King of the Dark Elves. With hurried steps, they all went to the castle walls and finds three humans standing in front of their gate.

Amongst the three humans, the one sitting in the middle emits a very dangerous aura.

Excluding confidence, while staring at the wall with his bright red animalistic eyes that strikes terror even in King Jorik’s heart, an entity that has the power they can’t fathom has arrived at their doorsteps.
