The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 740: An Unforseen Meeting with the Duchess

Rex has already smelled the scent of Vampire lingering around the capital city, he reckoned that it was the Dark Elves that are visited by the royal representatives from the Vampire and the Werewolf Kingdom, not the Tigerman race.

It was odd but he came to a realization that King Samobas might still try to defy him.

As soon as he stepped into the throne room, the metallic odor of blood grew even more intense and overwhelming. It was oddly unguarded of the Vampire to be this careless about its presence, and let it be this detectable.

Knowing that he would come, the Vampire should be hiding its aura and scent not exposing them.

None of the Vampire aside from King Solomon can have a chance of actually defeating him, there are only a few entities of that caliber in the current era. In that case, the Vampire should be terrified of his presence alone.

But the Vampire did the exact opposite as if it wanted Rex to know of its presence.

From this alone, itʼs evident that the Vampire has an ulterior motive for being here in the Tigerman capital city. ”If youʼre not, then why would there be a Vampire hiding here...?” Rex said in a whispering grim tone.

Glancing into the dark corner of the throne room, a movement can be seen inside the shadows.

From the darkness, a pair of crimson-glowing eyes appeared revealing that the darkness is hiding something inside of it. As the crimson eyes steadily come out of the shadows, the clanking sound of heels gradually reverberated louder inside the quiet throne room.

Rex and King Samobasʼ eyes fixed onto this pair of crimson eyes.

One is wearing a cold and grim expression as he waited for the pair of crimson eyes to come out, while the other has his face drained from all color seeing that Rexʼs hand is already wrapping around his neck.

In a light twist, Rex couldʼve killed him as if he was not a King but an ant instead.

”Spare the poor Tigerman, Lord Rex...” A sweet voice dances through the air before the figure whose crimson eyes belong to come out of the darkness, revealing a beautiful pale-skin entity that canʼt be mistaken as another creature than a Vampire.

With one final step out of the darkness, the Vampire stopped and make eye contact with Rex.

Upon witnessing the Vampireʼs appearance a frown appears on Rexʼs face. One notable feature is the queen symbol underneath her right eye. Even though the Vampire hasnʼt introduced herself yet as this is their first time meeting each other, Rex already knows her name as he had heard of it before.

Clenching King Samobasʼ neck tightly, Rex then smirked evilly, ”Why should I...?”

”Men whatever they are, be it Vampire, Werewolf, or even Human are practically the same...” the Vampier shakes her head, seemingly expecting this kind of reaction ”Donʼt be hasty, heʼs not an informant and Iʼm here not to cause any trouble” she added, waving her hand gracefully.

Not intending to do anything the Vampire said, Rex kept his hand on King Samobasʼ neck.

Even though he wanted to reach the conclusion that King Samobas has backed out of the deal they made and chosen the demise of his entire kingdom, Rex can feel it was not the case. If he really did, then this Vampire wouldʼve chosen to stay hidden instead of announcing her presence.

Moreover, exposing herself like this shows that she has no evil intention whatsoever.

Although exposing her presence and coming out of the darkness seemed like something that is not worth mentioning, itʼs a big deal as the shift of power turns to Rex completely. Her act is saying that sheʼs completely submitting herself to Rexʼs mercy.

With the knowledge of Rexʼs power, sheʼs standing in the open right here is a big deal.

”I must say, Iʼve seen your power before and was quite fascinated by it. A Vampire that can kill anyone through blood and dream, youʼve made a name out of yourself, Demelza...” Rex said raspingly as he scans her stats which attracted Demelzaʼs attention back to him.

Even though itʼs been a while ago, Rex still remembered that day vividly.

Back when he was still at Ochyra University and doing a field test at Strada City, a level 2 city that hosted a military base. After the field test, Rex caught the news that the entire Strada City has been leveled to the ground and left only the general alive.

For Rex, itʼs the first time he saw the full extent of a terrifyingly high realm Supernatural.

And back then the news thought that it was the Siren race that did it as the attack is a soundwave attack. But Rex figured out that it comes from Demelza as the Vampires from the Demelza Family are trying to save one of them from Strada City.

Rex can still feel the awe of that moment when he witnessed a power that can level an entire city.

Looking back now, he realizes how much he has gone from that point.

Upon hearing this Demelza quirked up a sweet smile while covering her face, seemingly pretending to be embarrassed by Rexʼs words, ”Iʼm flattered that the Alpha of the Silverstar Pack knows of my name, it seems I really did make a name for myself...” she replied.

But then suddenly, Rex draws blood from his hand and threw it to the ground in front of Demelza.

Demelza looks at the fresh light blood that has an enchanting scent even for her that has already mastered her cardinal desire for blood, she was confused as to what is the meaning of Rexʼs action as she looked back with a frown.

”Go on, show it to me...” Rex mutters with an evil smile.

Even though it was for a brief second that her eyes glowed when she hears this as her eyes fixed on the splattered blood on the ground, she even show signs of stress by gulping hard seemingly doesnʼt know what to do for a moment.

It was tempting, the sight of Rexʼs fresh blood is like a magnet to her attention.

Although she was trying to fight back the urges, she tries to collect herself strugglingly and shakes her head. ”I understand your concern, but I really donʼt have any evil intention in this meeting. So donʼt bother testing me, Lord Rex” She said with a collected look, no hint of temptation in her eyes anymore.

But then she whispers to herself, ”I donʼt want to be aimed by the princess if I have your blood on me anyways...”

Rex lifted his eyebrows when he heard this, but he decided to keep silent and watch.

”As of speaking to you now, Iʼm not representing King Solomon or under any task given by him. I can swear upon my Origin on that” Demelza added with a convincing tone, showing that sheʼs being genuine with Rex.

Rex kept gazing into her eyes for an uncomfortable amount of time before he eventually nodded.

Not a trace of a lie can be seen, and she even swears on her Origin to further assure him.

”Well, if thatʼs the case. Iʼm listening. But bear in mind that I have enough trouble already, and itʼs best that you donʼt say anything that can upset me as Iʼm sensitive right now. I might accidentally kill you” Rex said before he lets go of King Samobasʼ neck and crosses his arms in front of him.

Giving a light chuckle, Demelza smiled while looking at Rex in amusement.

Pondering for a moment to construct the sentence inside her head, she then opens her mouth, ”The Executor has awakened, and we all know that already. But as you have fought against the Executor already, you out of all people should know how strong he really is. None of the strongest entities in this current era can match the Executor, including you...”

”In that case, I want to propose a truce until the matter with the Executor is settled” she added.

Upon hearing this proposition from Demelza, Rex is secretly surprised inside but he kept a stoic expression with no hint of a reaction at all. ”I can guarantee that by not telling King Solomon about your rebellion and also helping persuade King Solomon and the other high-rank Supernaturals to focus on the Executor. After all, weʼre in dire need of the same thing. Time.”

Rex listens attentively, trying to see beyond her proposition and anything in between.

Even though itʼs distasteful to work together with a Vampire, her proposition is logical and true.

ʼIt was the Supernatural races that keeps on attacking me, and I havenʼt got the chance to launch an attack myself. But sheʼs right that the Executor is the immediate threat, and time to get stronger is the most essential thing that I needʼ Rex thought silently, considering the proposition.

Out of all the things, he needs to train and get stronger the most in order to tackle his problems.

Now that he has the resources to boost himself and the others into the higher realm of Awakened power, the only thing he and the others need to do is be undisturbed and train until they reach an adequate goal.

The Executor is one thing, and thereʼs the rise of the Witch of Chaos that he needs to worry about.

Each requires him to become stronger, and time is indeed the thing he needs.

If the rebellion group is exposed, the Supernatural race would still be addressing it fiercely.

Even though the Executor is an immediate threat to the entire world, the high-rank Supernatural races are known to be arrogant and prideful. Knowing that thereʼs a riot underneath their reign, they wouldnʼt just let it slide and grow.

Although the castle itself wouldnʼt be directly affected, the Silverstar Pack will.

Since he has practically allied with the Dark Elves and the Dwarves, the two races would ask him for help if ever the high-rank Supernaturals attack them. It can be addressed but he will be busy fighting the Supernaturals while the Executor is left alone.

It doesnʼt take a genius to know that is a formula to disaster, and he canʼt have that.

”We indeed have the same desperation for time, and I agree the Executor is the number one threat. If you can really manage to hide the rebellion from the high-rank Supernaturals until the Executor is no more than, I can agree to this deal” Rex finally replied, finding that the proposition is agreeable.

But then, a question popped inside his mind, he was quite impressed by Demelzaʼs bravery.

Glancing at Demelza with his sharp eyes, Rex then canʼt help but said, ”I couldʼve killed you the moment we met, you canʼt stop that from happening. What makes you brave enough to tell me this in person...?”

Upon hearing this, Demelzaʼs eyes glowed once again as she exposes her fangs with a smirk.

”Letʼs just say that if you kill me, youʼll wake up with hell at your doorstep” Demelza replied with an air of mysteriousness surrounding her, and that air canʼt be deciphered even by Rexʼs sharp eyes and mind.

Even then, Rex can guess that she mustʼve had something in store to fuck with him if he killed her.

Not intending to prolong this conversation further as he has matters to attend to, Rex turns to face King Samobas again giving his back towards Demelza, ”I expect to hear from you, Demelza. But now, you can leave as I need to take out some ants”

”I didnʼt betray the rebellion group! I even make this deal happen!” King Samobas defended.

But this only spark an evil smile from Rex as his aura started leaking from his body like a vigorous current of death, ”Yes, you did make the deal between me and Demelza happen. But that doesnʼt explain how Demelza knows of the rebellion group in the first place, and that must be your fault”

”As I said earlier, an informant will be punished with rigorous, intense, and painful torture by me...”
