The Invincible Full-Moon System

Adhara stands tall amongst the Tigerman that are starting to crowd around her, it was already night yet the Tigerman inside of the capital city was greeted by a visit from the notorious Silverstar Pack itself.

Out of the Tigerman that has gathered here, each is exposing a pale blue emotional aura.

Merely hearing about the Silverstar Pack alone brings unease to them, the new prominent force that appeared not too long ago. And now, the female Alpha from the same pack had come to their capital and requested an audience with their King.

It would be a lie for them to not be nervous about this, especially after the royal notice.

Not too long ago, King Samobas issued a royal notice to be spread throughout the capital city about his speech. During the speech, he told his people that they are going to join the rebellion group alongside the Silverstar Pack, Dark Elves, and Dwarves.

King Samobas expected a backlash, yet the people is accepting more than he thought.

Although there are some that expressed their rejection, he managed to convince them that the fight Supernatural had against the Humans doesn’t concern them. The Tigerman has never ventured too long in the path of vengeance.

Every hatred they have stopped a couple of years after the Supernatural Emergence.

Anything beyond that is simply the obsession of the high-rank Supernaturals that wanted to govern the whole entire world, the Tigerman race on the other hand only wanted a place they can call home and not be lashed into slavery.

Under his charm and convincing speech, his people eventually accepted this.

Knowing that the Tigerman that has died for the sake of the high-rank Supernaturals are quite high already, they can see why their King wanted to put an end to this meaningless fight for the better of the Kingdom.

Of course, that is if their Kingdom was welcomed by the rebellion group.

Due to the Silverstar Pack’s famous reputation alongside the fact that their King wanted to join the rebellion group, Adhara already expected their hearts to be filled with worry, fear, and terror.

Not long ago, they stand as enemies, and they fear the Silverstar Pack is still bitter.

Many would find this situation uncomfortable, but Adhara is familiar with the look of fear on others’ faces when they lay eyes on her. After all, she has gone alone to the kingdom of the Dark Elves in the past as Rex’s representative which holds immense power.

As the Silverstar Pack had risen to power, it was unsurprising that people reacted this way.

Raising her gaze, she finds that there are a couple of Elders standing behind King Samobas. Out of the Tigerman around, the Elders were clearly the oldest in the whole capital city. But each one of them seems to be confused.

But how could they not after hearing Adhara’s declaration earlier?

It was clear that they didn’t understand the situation to what led Adhara to be here, they don’t know what King Samobas is communicating with the Silverstar Pack’s Alpha behind their backs.

“King Samobas, what is the meaning of this?” One of the Elders spoke out his mind.

Breaking out of her trance, another Elder then questioned, “Have you been privately made contact with the Alpha of the Silverstar Pack? Did you not think this was important enough to tell us? If it’s related to the Silverstar Pack, we should’ve been informed”

Clearly, the Elders were displeased by King Samobas’ secrecy from them.

Since the Tigerman Kingdom works in a way that the King can’t make a decision without the Elders’ advice, this is clearly something that shouldn’t be done by King Samobas. Yet even knowing that there’s not a hint of guilt on his face as he forces out a weak sigh.

King Samobas can feel the sigh taking away his strength before he turns to face the Elders.

“I hope Elders can understand, I must do this to protect the people and for the better sake of our kingdom’s future,” King Samobas said before he walked closer to the Elders, his expression was one of finality. “There was no other choice, it’s either we keep fighting for something we don’t believe in or a chance at survival to create peace. As the King, I make the decision for my people”

Upon hearing this, the Elders frowned with many things inside their minds.

From the siege by the Dark Elves and Dwarves alone that abruptly stopped, they can tell that something is weird. None of their enemies would be pulling back like that, and the Elders had already expected that something had happened.

Not that it comes to this, it seems King Samobas has made a deal with the Silverstar Pack.

Gritting his teeth out of the anger from this blasphemous action, one of the Elders then spoke as he looks at King Samobas warningly, “What exactly is the deal you make with them?”

Without even answering, King Samobas takes a deep breath and let the air rejuvenates him.

Clang!

Suddenly, King Samobas grabbed his pauldron and pulled it off out of nowhere. With the pauldron weighing heavily on him, the ground beneath him cracked before he continue to take off more of the armor on his body.

Looking at this, the Elders were taken aback as they don’t understand the situation.

But one thing they can agree on was the fact that they had a bad feeling.

Not only the Elders that were presently surprised by this act, the other Tigerman that has gathered near the castle were surprised to see their King taking off his armor and even his royal cloak. Each of their expression depicted the confusion they are feeling vividly.

As King Samobas is a prominent figure, this kind of action was not so kingly of him.

King Samobas should’ve kept his dignified appearance, and if it weren’t in private places, he shouldn’t have stripped his armor like this. But he did right now, right in front of the onlookers.

Disregarding the confused gazes, King Samobas shifted his eyes to look at Adhara.

“Female Alpha, can I ask a request from you?”

“Ask away.”

Not even wasting any second, Adhara replied almost instantly with a cold tone.

Smiling acutely, King Samobas then relayed his request which would be for the better of the plan they have. “I think it’s best we do it inside, there’s no need to do it in public like this” he said with a defeated tone, that is his last request.

As it’s not too much to ask, Adhara nodded her head and grants his last request.

Under the gaze of the onlookers, King Samobas went inside the castle again followed by Adhara. None of the royal guards or even the Elders know what to do, they were completely stunned by the situation.

Walking by the stunned Elders, Adhara then signals for them to follow inside with her eyes.

Exchanging glances briefly, the Elders decided that they would follow King Samobas and Adhara inside the castle. Just before the gate closed behind them, Adhara stopped and face the citizen of the city.

“As the representative of the Silverstar Pack, I will relay a message from the Alpha”𝓞𝐯𝔩xt.𝓒𝒪𝚖

Gazing intently at the Tigerman that has their attention fixed on her, Adhara then continues, “Responding to the request given by King Samobas, the Alpha has accepted the Tigerman to be a part of the alliance. I welcome you to the alliance, I hope that our alliance will be able to reach peace for Supernaturals and Humans without exemption”

After saying that, Adhara nodded her head and went into the castle.

While the Tigerman in front of the castle was looking at Adhara’s back, her figure then disappeared due to the gate closing behind her. None of them can see Adhara, the Elders, or their King anymore.

But in the next second, the crowd started to explode in cheers, celebrating the news.

None of them expected that their kingdom would be accepted by the rebellion group so soon considering the tense relationship between them, and yet somehow their King was able to achieve that easily.

It was beyond their expectations, and they can’t help but cheer on King Samobas’ name.

Meanwhile, the cheers from the crowd put a smile on King Samobas’ face as he stands at the center of the bailey in contentment. Despite knowing that his end was near, he can’t help but be glad that at the very least he can protect his people.

Adhara slowly walks towards him and stands behind him with a stern expression.

Sensing that Adahra is already standing behind him, King Samobas didn’t hesitate and went to his knees while facing the castle. It was right this moment that one of the Elders stepped forward, “W-What is going on here?”

“Just like I announced earlier, the Tigerman is accepted to the alliance” Adhara replied.

Even though that is the case, the Elder still finds this somewhat unsettling, “I’m happy that the Silverstar Pack’s Alpha is magnanimous enough to accept us this quickly, but what is going to happen to King Samobas?”

“Be grateful, Tigerman. Without King Samobas, it will not end like this” Adhara replied.

Upon hearing this, the Elders gaze at King Samobas but he remained silent and keeps on his kneeling position. “The Alpha has decided to exterminate you all in order to preserve the information about the alliance, but King Samobas plead for your kingdom to join the alliance instead at the cost of his head”

“Out of the Alpha’s generosity, he decided to accept the proposal” she added with a chilling tone which causes the Elders to look at King Samobas in a new light, the light that completely turned their view of the king.

The Elder’s mouth started to quiver, he doesn’t know how to react to this information.

“W-Wh-Why do King Samobas needs to die? Everything started with a misunderstanding, as it turns out your alliance’s goal resonates with us. If you give us the chance, then we can prove that we are a suitable ally” the Elder stutters, trying to convince Adhara otherwise.

But Adhara shakes her head, “We are giving you a chance, but a deal is a deal”

“Due to the result of the siege launched by the Dark Elves and Dwarves, their Kings resent King Samobas as they suffered immense damages from that fight. King Samobas knew this and he suggested that his head would be offered to the other Kings instead of the Tigerman Kingdom. The Alpha takes this into consideration and deemed it worth a shot” she explained as clearly as possible.

Although that is a part of the reason, Adhara knows that it was not the main reason.

Rex surely wanted King Samobas to die because the Tigerman is still a race from the enemy’s side, and the only way to assure that they are going to be faithful to the alliance is through the orchestrated stage that he already planned with King Samobas.

Without even being there, Adhara can already guess what Rex has done.

Staying with him for quite some time already, she started to adopt Rex’s thinking. If she had to guess, Rex probably gave King Samobas a choice between the extermination of the entire Tigerman race or sacrificing himself by dying as a supposed ‘Hero’.

Now that it has come to this, it’s clear which choice King Samobas has taken.

Even though she doesn’t really know King Samobas except for him being the king of the Tigerman, Adhara respected him for choosing to sacrifice for his people. It’s something that not many King would probably do.

Receiving the news, the Elders were completely speechless.

“W-We can ask the Dark Elves and Dwarves for mercy, there’s no need for this!” One of the Elders argued again, trying anything possible to save King Samobas from this fate realizing that he really is determined to protect the people.

But for the first time, King Samobas intervened, “It’s okay, this is the best course of action”

Upon hearing this, some of the Elders become teary as they suspected King Samobas to betray them or being corrupted by the Silverstar Pack. It turns out he was doing this only so that the Tigerman Kingdom would still continue on.

“Hmm… you’re a good King. I’ll make sure it’s painless” Adhara said in acknowledgment.

Adhara’s white claws then burns with purple flames as she prepared for a swift death, the Elders wanted to stop her but she was too fast as her claws swiftly cut through the air with a sizzling might.

Slash!
