The Invincible Full-Moon System



Lady Lauren gasped, she was startled by the sudden appearance of this person.

It was not evidently shown, at least to what she grasped around the situation, but Edward and Rex shouldn't have any more relationship between them. One was engulfed in anger and left while the other stayed and sided with humans.

But more than his arrival, his appearance was the most shocking.

Calling him a human wouldn't be appropriate anymore with the shaded part of his body that has turned into black armor, and a gaze of indifference in his umbra eyes, the term Ancient Human would've been more appropriate.

"Do you know who he is, Lady Lauren?" King Jorik asked, frowning.

With a sudden arrival of an unknown entity inside his reign, the King is rightfully concerned.

Hearing the question through distracted ears, Lady Lauren nodded her head. She knows who is she dealing with, and she also knows that this doesn't seem to be a good situation for the Dark Elf and herself.

Edward coming here is simply bad news, there's no reason for him to be here.

Standing upright like an upstanding statue of a hero, Edward swept his gaze around him.

"Human! For trespassing the border of the sacred tree, stomping your uninvited feet into our holy grounds, don't blame me for not being polite here. I'll have to forcefully escort you out" General Theodas draws his black thick yet intricate bow, fueling it with dark nature energy.

In response to this, the pair of indifferent eyes shifted to General Theodas subtly.

Despite being surrounded by Dark Elves from all sides, he doesn't seem to have a hint of worry, completely insouciant about his supposed tense situation, "I've heard about the Dark Elf coalition with the Silverstar Pack. Ridiculous... Yet I've come to execute, nothing more and nothing less. So all of you better listen to me"

His lips then curled up, smirking subtly as a sign of ridicule at this sight.

A spark of anger ignited inside the Dark Elves' heart.

It was not subtle or coated, Edward's preposterous bearing, belittingly the Dark Elf is blatant.

King Jorik, watching from above saw the swaying dark nature energy that blisters through General Theodas' body, his eyes turn bloodshot, putting on a face that was almost as if he wanted to eat Edward whole.

Looking at this, King Jorik then shouted, "Theodas! That's enough!"

But despite his shout, he was too late.

"Raargghh-! Don't you think you can come here and mock us you baboon!" 

General Theodas roared angrily, dashing in with the arrow pointed at Edward's face. In quick succession, he fired five arrows in the same second that pierces through the air like a bullet through the air.

Swoosh!

Not moving from his spot, Edward's hand burned with dark flames.

Putting his hand coated with the black flames on the way of the arrows, each of the arrows turned into black ash in an instant they touches his hand, evaporating from existence before General Theodas reached him.

Having eighth-rank realm power prior to the First Breath, he's very strong.

Clang!!

Edward's black skin armor clashed against General Theodas' thick armor, producing a loud metallic sound as the two were locked in a struggle. A fight breaks out, and the other Dark Elves wanted to defend their general.

But before they could do anything, a subtle blast of shockwave exploded.

It didn't have a strong pushing force, yet it drained the Dark Elves from their original power.

Anyone that has below seventh-rank realm power got forced to their knees, and in the next second, Edward maneuver his body expertly and landed an uppercut right at General Theodas' chin, sending him away.

Following that, he also swings his leg in a perfect circular motion around him.

Coming from the tip of his foot was a black flame.

A black circular arc of flame shot forward, sending the other Dark Elves that wanted to try him flying away, crashing like bullets to the trees and their homes. In the process of doing this, he doesn't lose his cool at all.

Edward's movement was perfect and elegant, brandishing his immense confidence.

Recovering from the attack with even more anger, General Theodas wanted to resume his fight with Edward. But he was blocked by King Jorik and Lady Lauren, stepping in the way and signaling for him to stop this fight.

"Do you have a death wish, Edward? Do you want to die here?" Lady Lauren asked coldly.

In a fierce manner, she circulates her mana.

Upon seeing this, Edward smiled, "Die here...? I'm sorry to break it to you, but I'm not dying"

"Surely you're not too naive to think like that, Edward. In a moment, Rex will be here. Do you think you would survive against him? If he wanted to, reducing you to nothing but worthless ash, just like the worthless loyalty you have for him to not take his side is not a problem for him" Lady Lauren replied, deliberately using harsh words.

Lady Lauren has absolute confidence in Rex, and this must be put on the table.

As expected, Edward's expression twitched when he heard this.

But he didn't burst and still kept a composed look. It's a little bit more hostile now, however, he's still indifferent overall, "Even if Rex is here, I won't die here. He wouldn't be able to kill me because... Gistella is in the Executor's hand. Kill me and she dies"

Just that statement alone changed Lady Lauren and King Jorik's expressions instantly.

"I'm here as an emissary, Gistella is within our grasp. The Executor is kind and magnanimous, and he wouldn't kill Gistella. So tell Rex that we'll be in touch, we'll be working together from now on" Edward continues, delivering the message from the Executor personally.

Following that, Edward then turns his head to the side again, looking at the other Dark Elves.

"Also, I was told to make a scene. I'll have you all bear with me..."

Meanwhile, a moment later.

Rex went over to the city while holding Evelyn's hand, greeting the people that are now under their rule. It was not something that she expected, but this greatly calmed Evelyn's anxious mind a lot.

She felt her soul being healed to be like this with Rex again.

Adorned in a stark rich red royalty cape made of tapestry fabric with a red satin lining inside that he bought from the System for himself and also Adhara, to mask his wounded body and matches their synergy, all eyes inevitably turned towards him.

In a moment, Rex and Evelyn became the center of attention.

Most of them were looking at the pair with admiration, a heaven-sent pair in the public's eye.

Ever since Rex's speech, this is the first time the people saw him again.

But men and women alike were more enthralled by Evelyn's bearing. First was her startling fiery cape, chosen for this specific occasion. Then, there was her air of affable grace that gave contrast to her appearance.

Her appearance was like a goddess, obsession grew, leaving a deep mark in the memories.

Just like what he had asked earlier, Evelyn acted befitting of a Dove of Peace. A figure that the people would seek comfort from, and Rex couldn't lie that she was doing a hell of a good job in putting that air.

Along the way, Evelyn greeted with a smile at the onlookers as they went on.

Some of the people were also starting to look up at Evelyn amiably, hearing the rumors from the first batch of Supernatural residents that it was her that saved them from vicious grasps of the Humming Damned Forest.

In their eyes, Evelyn was as much of a savior as Rex, making a perfect match.

Evelyn and Rex were even surprised that some of the people were too overwhelmed and prostrate on the ground, pledging their loyalty to the two before the others followed, connecting their foreheads to the earth.

Despite thinking that it would take time, it seems Rex was wrong in this part.

His deep impression on the people, especially those who came from Wedron City coupled with Evelyn's graceful figure of a queen-like persona were working so fast and well, enhancing their influence over the people.

Nevertheless, it's a good progression for the city.

Rex and Evelyn checked on the food production of the city and finds them growing well, the floras were growing faster than they could've imagined thanks to the Kingdom Investment Ticket that he used to bolster their food production.

On top of that, Linthia also reported that livestock foods were filled with mana.

Rich in nutrients and energy Linthia said.

If the mutated animals to breed and groom have been decided, then it wouldn't take long before the city's food production becomes stable. A miracle from the System has never ceased to amaze Rex and even the others.

Aside from that, Rex also has given out the Pill of Change and Supernatural Nucleus.

Similar to his plans, he gave Gelmar, Dindora, and Linthia 2 Nucleus of Supernatural and 1 Pill of Change each. Out of precaution, he told them to take the items he gave one by one lest their bodies were stimulated too much.

But in addition to the three of them, he also decided to pay attention to Ugrok and Dyrmir.

Ugrok couldn't use the Nucleus of Supernatural thanks to his pure Cyclops Bloodline, stimulating an evolution wouldn't affect his bloodline so Rex only gave him 1 Pill of Change that would surely help him.

On the other hand, Dyrmir's anatomy was different compared to Ugrok.

A mix between a human and a Cyclop made him available for evolution, and the Nucleus of Supernatural would help him. Rex was excited and had high expectations for Dyrmir, he's a fifth-rank realm despite being so young.

If not for the First Breath, his lightning ability would also shine brightly.

Like the others, he also gained 2 Nucleus of Supernatural and 1 Pill of Change to improve.

Currently, inside his inventory, there are 2 Nucleus of Supernatural and 5 Pill of Change left.

However, bad news came following.

Rex was walking around the city to familiarize himself with his own city as well as create a bond with his people. Surely for them, seeing someone of his standing walking on the street without any formality is an odd side.

Even the mayor has bodyguards when going to places, it's normal.

But if it's someone like Rex, someone who doesn't like pompous appearance too much, someone who is also one of the strongest in the current era, having that kind of display is simply unnecessary for him.

Of course, this doesn't mean he would do this frequently as that will also be bad.

"Lord Rex..."

Glancing at the Awakened that is kneeling in front of him and Evelyn right now, Rex frowns finding that he belongs to the guild underneath Lady Lauren's influence. He then decides to walk to a quieter area, signaling to the Awakened to halt his report and wait until the coast is clear.

Upon reaching the place, he then gestured for the Awakened to tell him.

Finding that the Awakened was silent even though Rex has obviously signaled to tell him what he wants to say, Evelyn smiled softly. It's clear that the Awakened seems afraid, and she decided to ease him through her gentle voice.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay. Even if it's bad news, you are not culpable for bearing the news"

"Y- Yes, my lady"

Pausing for a second to bring his courage, the Awakened then eventually conveyed.

"I was sent here by Madam Lauren to tell Lord Rex that the Dark Elf was attacked, but it was not from the older generations of high-rank Supernaturals. It was the Executor's emissary" the Awakened said, his voice still quite shaky in fear.

Listening to this, Rex frowns while Evelyn mused in confusion.

"Emissary...? Who is it?"

"T- The thing is, he's the Executor's emissary but he has a history with Lord Rex himself"

"Edward..."

Rex's expression instantly darkened while muttering that damned name, he could instantly tell that by the way the Awakened is acting this fearfully. It was then, his voice turns colder, "And...? If he's an emissary, what message did he bring?"

"E- Edward said to come to say that the Executor... He- He has Lady Gistella..."
