The Invincible Full-Moon System

It was during noon that Rex is sitting on the throne with a complicated gaze.

A habit of his, sitting on the throne to think feels more comfortable than anything else. Maybe the increase of pressure that was amplified whenever he sat on the throne is the reason for this habit of his.

His mind always works optimally and is the best when on the throne.

Due to the changes in Evelyn’s attitude towards him, he felt a little bit better and at ease.

Rex still doesn’t know what spark a change in her attitude, but he really appreciated her effort to ease his mind, especially after the gazes that he received from the Dark Elves that were unconfident of his abilities.

No doubt that she sparked a fresh air inside the castle.

Evelyn started doing a more queen-like role, pampering him with lots of intimate affection.

Currently, she was having a shower in the bed chamber.

On the other hand, Rex is thinking about the demands that the Executor will ask of him.

Despite the confusion that Evelyn felt on how on earth Rex was able to know the Executor’s objective, albeit being quite far away, it didn’t diminish the fact that he knows for certain that the Executor wanted to reach the Symposium of Upper Divinities.

Achieving that objective means spearing through the older generations of Supernaturals.

‘I’ll need to talk to them about this…’ A sudden notion came to him.

Since he was already tested and acknowledged, the Supernatural Elders will not intervene.

Knowing the deep-rooted feud between Rex and the Executor, the Supernatural Elders have agreed to not intervene in his fight against the Executor. But it’s supposed to be natural, there was no loss for them in this deal.

If Rex succeeds then the Executor is gone, and if Rex failed then nothing really changed.

But now that it’s becoming problematic, he would need to talk to them.

Obviously, the attack on the Great Barricade is only a parade.

It’s an act to ease the hatred that the older generations of Supernatural felt upon awakening. Having been humiliated in the past by the ancient humans, they wouldn’t sit still even if the Supernatural Elders were to tell them to not attack the humans.

Venting their anger and gaining back their senses would need time.

But in a way, this also acts as a mighty distraction that would benefit Rex so he didn’t mind.

Additionally, he also needs to prepare.

Dargena City lacks the manpower to create an adequate force, it’s one of the biggest problems the city has.  The fighting force of the city only revolves around Lady Lauren and Daniel, and it’s not enough for the upcoming demand.

If he asked the allied forces to help with numbers, that would not end well for them.

Even though the Executor or the human forces in general now are aware that the Silverstar Pack is allied with some Supernatural races, the high-rank Supernatural races were not aware of this fact and it’s better this way.

Letting them know about the rebellion will be very bad, and this limits Rex’s options.

‘I have the Cluster Domain that would help rapidly increase the growth of the lacking manpower, but this still requires more elemental stones, a lot of them. Elemental stones that I don’t possess’ 

‘I already send Devo and Amanir to search, however, they need time to find them’

Overall, the entire fighting force of Dargena City only amounts to at most a middle-sized city.

It was also only thanks to the Burton and Hester Families.

Rex knows that in order to confront the scale of war the Executor will require needs more people from his side. In an attempt to solve this problem, he decided to ask the System and was then put into a dilemma.

<Vortex Pit of Elements can be installed into the user’s Kingdom for 10 million gold>

Unsurprisingly, the System has a solution for this problem.

A magical facility called Vortex Pit of Elements could generate elemental stones, something that could help the city immensely in the elemental stones supply. It would be an essential facility that would spike the growth of Dargena City to the highest degree.

But it costs so much, Rex needs the gold to learn about the tenth-rank realm.

Despite wanting to help the growth of Dargena City, he couldn’t sacrifice his own pursuit.

Rex is the backbone of this city, the peak power that protects the city. If he so much as falls in the category of power, exceeded by other entities, the side effect on the city will be unimaginable. It will be disastrous!

It wouldn’t be a stretch to assume that Dargena City would fall if that happened.

Sighing dejectedly, his eyes suddenly flared open again. A notification appeared in his vision.

<Unlike purchasing regular items from the Shop, items to further the user’s kingdom have other methods of payment aside from gold. However, it will not involve the user doing it personally but rather needs to be completed by other people under the user’s reign>𝑜𝑽𝐋xt.𝓬𝗈𝑚

<Does the user wants to purchase Vortex Pit of Elements by completing a quest?>

‘Hmm… is that so? Even if it’s done by others, will it be something that would benefit me?’

<Yes. Anything the System issues will always be for the benefit of the user>

‘If that’s the case, then alright. I’d like to see the quest, show it to me’

<Affirmative.> 

<Kingdom Quest – Minor Chaos Inbrid>

Have your pack members travel to the designated location in the continent that is dotted in red to meet with Minor Chaos Inbrid, an elemental mutated animal that has a slight affinity to Chaos. Kill the Minor Chaos Inrbid and bring its carcass back to the user for the quest to be considered complete.

Quest Reward: Vortex Pit of Elements and Optional Selection Box

Reading the quest description, Rex finds it interesting that this kind of quest exists.

‘How many pack members can I send?’

<Any amount of pack members, there’s no limit for the deployed pack members>

Nodding his head, he then opens the map to see the location of this so-called Minor Chaos Inrbid, a mutated animal that he never knew existed. ‘It’s far away, near the Demon Territory. It’s closer to the Dwarf Kingdom than here’

After checking on the location, he decided to check the Minor Chaos Inbrid.

Only the realm of the mutated animals was shown.

If he wanted more information about the mutated animal then he would need to pay with gold. But that would be contradicting, he decided to take the mission in order to save gold. Spending it for information would be a no-go.

‘Early eighth-rank realm prior to the First Breath, quite strong but not that strong’

Rex rubs his chin for a moment, trying to think of who would he send to complete this mission. ‘Gistella, Evelyn, and Kyran are out of options. I wanted to send Adhara but the Demon territory… yeah, no. I’ll just send those two to complete the quest’

It didn’t take long before he decided to send Giana and Prof. K for this mission.

Despite the two of them also having a history with Rex, in truth, he doesn’t really care about them nearly as much as the others. Sending them would be the perfect fit, and the two are experienced enough to take down a mere mutated animal.

But as he came to that decision, Evelyn strides into the throne room.

Since she had gone out of the shower, her body is fragrant and she also looks very fresh.

“Rex…? What are you thinking? Do you want to share it with me?”

Evelyn ascend the throne before wrapping her arm around Rex’s neck and sat on his lap.

“It’s nothing, really. I was only pondering on ways to expedite the growth of our people within the city, particularly the city guards,” Rex responded with a composed air. “The Executor would ask us to help him fight the Supernaturals, it necessitates a more robust army than the current one”

Upon hearing this, Evelyn frowns instead, finding his way of thinking weird.

“I know that’s important and all, but shouldn’t we think of a way to save Gistella…? Why aren’t you thinking about that?” Evelyn asked in confusion, she finds it incredibly weird for him to have his priority jumbled like this. “It’s almost as if you wanted to help the Executor reach the Symposium or whatever that place is called more than saving Gistella”

“A misunderstanding. Don’t worry, I’m also thinking of ways to save Gistella” Rex replied.

No change in his expression, but there was definitely something wrong.

Knowing what Rex is worried about the most now, Evelyn started to be able to read his facial expressions better. Just like now, she could see that he was caught off guard, almost as if he had said something he shouldn’t.

But as she was thinking, the two of them snapped their heads to the side.

A city guard, clad in silvery armor which is a product from the factory walked inside politely.

It was not Gelmar, only a regular city guard.

Gelmar, Dindora, and Linthia were stationed inside the Cluster Domain to cultivate and grow stronger. Thanks to the miraculous Energy Crystal, it can alter the energy component inside it as long as the owner which is Rex allows it.

One only needs to infuse the Energy Crystal with their own energy to change its component.

Without absolute authority, this wouldn’t be a thing.

Now that Rex has absolute authority over the Cluster Domain, this adaptability of the Energy Crystal was one of the perks he gained. This will allow them to rapidly increase their realm to the acceptable range.

Due to that, the one guarding the front of the castle is this regular city guard.

Visible nervousness could be seen when the city guard keep his head down and kneel on the ground when he reached near enough, even walking closer to the throne makes his legs feel like jelly.

In response to this, Evelyn stands up and stands beside the throne, putting on a bright smile.

Gazing up to the throne, the city guard finds Evelyn’s soothing smile and felt his nervousness lessened greatly. Her persona has become a warm energy for the people and has an immediate effect on the citizen.

Rex noticed this and was pleased with the result, this is good for the people.

“Forgive my intrusion, Lord Rex. But I’m here to ask permission for a sudden matter”

“Go ahead”

“I was told that Lady Adhara has come back and is waiting beyond the north gate”

“Hmm…? If that’s the case, let her inside. Why do you need to ask for my permission? Adhara is someone from my inner pack, she’s important to me. There’s no need to ask for my permission to let her in”

Upon finding that Rex is reprimanding him, the city guard lowers his gaze again meekly.

“Forgive me for not being clear. But someone came with her, my Lord”

“Someone…? Who?”

Rex frown when he heard this, the person that came with her should be someone influential or powerful if their presence causes this ruckus, ‘Shouldn’t she be with Queen Shanaela? Who could possibly she bring back that makes the guards hesitate to open the door for her?’

Just as he thought of that, his eyes flared open sensing a powerful aura.

Swoosh!

Both Rex and Evelyn felt their bodies tense when they got hit by this sudden powerful aura.

It was the sudden appearance that caught them off guard.

Due to their immensely sensitive senses, there were no entities that could sneak up on them. But this aura came really close without them realizing it, and it’s probably detected because the person wanted them to sense it.

“This aura, is it a Demon…?” Evelyn mused in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Rex frowned and nodded his head, “Yes, it’s a Demon. It’s Elder Tilrith…”

Meanwhile, in front of the city’s gate.

A bright green portal could be seen rotating with energy, it seems the portal was created through nature energy. The Elves were the ones responsible for this. Comes out from it were Adhara and Elder Tilrith. 

On the side, Adhara has a soured expression while Elder Tilrith has a playful one.

“Such a grand city… Even compared to the cities of the ancient humans in the past, this city doesn’t lose out. So this is the infamous City of the Royal Black Prince… I’m quite impressed and glad that I came here”

“Try anything, and this city will be where you draw your last breath, Elder Tilrith”

“Darling, let’s not be overly oblivious here. It’s not good for you. Such denseness might expedite the fading of your feminine charm. It’s hardly a surprise that I sensed a void in your aura. But now I know… It appears the Royal Black Prince hasn’t graced you with his intimate attention lately…”
