The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 1311: Twin Rulers

Upon entering the gate, the Angels were instantly greeted by the sight of a crowd.

As expected with the long queue outside, the Rathʼzir Kingdom is focused on economy, the entire streets were markets—that are filled with merchants selling rare, shimmering fabrics, peculiar artifacts, and curiosities gathered from across the continent.

It was a sight to behold, a gathering for low to mid-rank Supernatural races.

Other than that, the buildings here adopt a vertical architect.

All of the buildings, houses, and shops alike featured high platforms, winding staircases—and rope bridges. Only a few were not elevated, mainly the buildings that took care of the visitors that come and go.

”Come this way,” the escort said, leading to a more secluded road to the side.

She then grabbed a rope and glided away.

Both of her guards waited for the Angels to follow her before they also glided.

Of course, the Angels flew to follow the escort.

Along the way, the Angel beside the leader looked around and asked.

”Is there something different with them? I didnʼt remember them looking like this”

”Yes, their appearance changed. None of them looked like this in the past”

Recalling the ancient era they vaguely remembered that the Tabaxis were a group of cat-like creatures that could stand on two feet. Most of their features were identical to cats, but now that wasnʼt the case anymore.

For instance, the escort has fewer furs and her legs are not hind legs anymore.

Other than the cat ears, tail, whiskers, and furs, she was humanoid.

In addition, she also seemed a lot stronger than the Tabaxis in the ancient past.

Both the Angels couldnʼt gauge her realm as she was able to perfectly cover it.

Even then, she was definitely above the sixth-rank realm.

And for a race that is considered low-rank, this was a great power.

Soon the Angels arrived, at a building near the center, it was about twenty floors high—like a tower. Countless guards could be seen guarding this building—and without a doubt, this was the rulerʼs castle.

Before the Anges could enter, the guards placed their spears in front of the Angels.

It was only then did the escort turned and explained.

”Please leave your weapons outside, including your wings.”

”What?!”

One of the Angels was angered, taking a step forward with hostility.

”Do you know who you are talking to? A mere Tabaxi dared to command an Archangel?!”

”Iʼm sorry. Let me phrase it better, leave your weapons here if you want to enter”

”Mind your tone if youʼre asking me to do this”

”Iʼm not asking. This is not a request but a command instead”

”Wha-”

”Stop”

Just then, the leader spoke up—placing his hand over the Angelʼs chest.

He stepped in lest the situation got out of control and a fight broke out.

It doesnʼt matter if he also thought the escort was talking out of her league, but he could feel that this was not an empty confidence. She has something that could back her up and it was not a good idea for them to find out.

”Weʼll leave our weapons here”

Upon hearing this, the angered Angel could only swallow back his words and calm down.

All this while, the escort didnʼt seem to be worried.

She kept her face emotionless throughout.

Deciding to heed the rules of the kingdom, the Angels took off their equipment and entered.

All of them were brought to the topmost floor of the building.

Stepping into the top floor, the Anges were instantly assaulted by a fragrance.

It carried a soft—warm blend of jasmine and sandalwood, delicate yet inviting.

On the other hand, the place was quite wide and comfortable with carpets—and pillows that were scattered around the room. Numerous Tabaxis were dancing and lying around, it was a place of comfort and relaxation.

”Welcome, it has never crossed my mind that one day Anges would come to visit me”

Hearing the soft yet firm voice, the Angels turned to the source.

On their left side was a long regal black and gold sofa, and a long table in front of it hosting a variation of food and fruits. Sitting on it were two figures who seemed to be the rulers of this kingdom, one was a muscular tanned-skin Tabaxi while the other was a curvy, pinkish-haired Tabaxi—lying on her side nonchalantly, accentuating her sonsie figure.

She was the one who greeted the Angels judging from the light smile playing on her lips.

But at the sight of them, the Angels couldnʼt help but frown.

Unlike the regular Tabaxis, these two looked human, too human in fact.

Compared to the Tabaxis that they came across, these two Tabaxis have the face—and body of a human with no visible furs, other than on their tails, and cat ears. It was very odd, such a sight caught the Angels off guard.

Snapping out of his daze, the leader Angel approached and stood near them.

He and the Angels took a seat when they were allowed.

”Iʼm told the ruler of this place is called Serevia, which one of you is Serevia?”

”That would be me,”

Pointing at herself, the female Tabaxi, Serevia replied before casting a glance to the side.

”But my brother, Serevan also governs the crown with me”

Sitting up from her relaxed posture, Serevia crossed her legs before her brother handed her a grape. She accepted it and put it in between her fangs, without breaking eye contact with the Angel leader.

It was a tense silence for a moment before Serevia smiled wider.

Plop!

Playfully, she bites the grape, creating a soft sound before she points at the Angel leader.

”Youʼre Calignar, arenʼt you?” She asked. ”Or is it Archangel Calignar now?”

Upon hearing this, the Angel leader, Calignar was visibly surprised.

”You know me?”

”I know everything about this continent and that includes you and your legionʼs arrival”

”Then you should know what I want”

Serevia laughed—her laugh was soft and soothing yet carried a subtle edge of pride.

She laughed as if she found Calignar funny.

”Of course, but I want you to say it out loud so I can boast an Angel came and asked for my help”

Not being able to hold in the bubbling anger inside of him, the Angel beside Calignar stood up abruptly, wanting to tear the pride from Sereviaʼs face. It was one thing to heed the rule of this place and it was another to endure this insult.

But as soon as he stood up, his body suddenly froze.

Bang!

Looking down at his stomach, he saw blood began seeping out.

He then raised his gaze slowly and tremblingly and saw Serevan had something in his hand.

It was some sort of a steel weapon, the barrel was sizzling with steam.

”Please—letʼs keep this civil. I donʼt want this to go awry” Serevia said.

As soon as she said that, the Angel who was shot fell to his knees and vomited blood.

Calignar instantly went over to him to check and found that despite the Angelsʼ holy energy trying to heal the wounded part, it was forced back. Seeing the red steam, coming from the Angelʼs gaping wound, his expression darkens.

It was Aether Venom, the bullet was coated with Aether Venom.

”You said you want to keep this civil but you hit him with Aether Venom...?”

”Donʼt worry, itʼs only a small dose. He wouldnʼt poof because of that”

”Where did you even get this? Aether Venom is not something common”

”I controlled three-hundred—and eleven tribes of low and mid-rank Supernaturals, they were spread across the continent so as you might imagine the resources of this beloved continent are also within my grasps”

Upon hearing this, Calignar frowned.

He didnʼt expect the Tabaxi race has expand so much in this new era.

But then again, most low and mid-rank Supernatural races are neglected.

It was natural for them to band together with a stronger force.

Realizing that fact way before the others, the Tabaxi took advantage of it and created this.

Calignar let the other Angels take over before he sat back down.

”Iʼm here on behalf of Heaven to ask for access to your bridge”

”Did you hear what he said?”

Serevia pointed at a Tabaxi who was dancing slowly nearby.

”Yes, I heard it Your Highness”

”How about you?”

”Yes, Your Highness. Congratulations!”

”You?”

”Loud and clear,”

Calignar felt his blood boiling at Sereviaʼs condescending demeanor, it was hard to face.

She laughed and boasted to the others, pausing the conversation with Calignar entirely.

”Since you are asking politely, Iʼm willing to grant that”

”Is that so?”

”Of course, you need to do us a favor. Iʼm only saying that Iʼm willing to make a deal”

Upon hearing this, Calignarʼs patient was running thin.

He was already being courteous enough but this was going too far, he couldnʼt let this go.

”May I remind you that we could destroy your kingdom—and take over your bridge?” He said, the words that came out of his mouth, dripped with threats. ”Our reinforcements are about to arrive, and destroying you would be easy then”

Calignar guessed that Serevia was acting like this because she knew their numbers.

Due to the incidents along the way, the number of Angels that arrived here is small.

She probably had that confidence because of that fact.

As opposed to being threatened, Serevia smirked in return, ”A threat... thatʼs not nice”

”But a threat like that would not work on me—the Saltura Bridge would collapse if you tried to do anything to me or my kingdom. And if the bridge collapses, you canʼt cross the valley and reach the other side other than taking the long route. Is that what you want?”

Seeing the change in Calignarʼs expression, Serevia took another grape and bit it.

Just from this alone she knew that she was in control.

Finally, with the odds stacked against him, Calignar asked, ”What do you want?”

Now that he surrendered, Serevia flicked her fingers.

Serevan gave her a leather scroll before she opened it and read its contents.

She took the quill pen on her ear and wrote poised to write on the scroll.

”In return for giving access to the bridge, you will leave me and my associated tribes alone. And then, you will also take care of a mutated animal nearby we call Purity for us.” Calignar needed to constantly regulate his patience while he listened to the list of demands.

But she was not done.

”Since one of your men tried to attack me—I would also ask you to give twenty percent of all resources you plundered as long as you stay in this continent. And you also need to add five pairs of wings for your threat earlier,” Serevia said, writing all of that down on the scroll.

Upon hearing this, Calignar slammed the table hard.

”Outrageous!” He shouted.

In reflex, Serevan already pointed the gun at him if he decided to try anything.

Calignar bit his lower lip, and glared at Serevia, ”You are already stepping the line for asking a lot but you have to go another mile—by asking five pairs of wings?! Are you treating me like a joke?!”

”Should we make it six then?” Serevia asked nonchalantly.

This made Calignar clench both of his fists hard.

But his eyes were glued onto the gun barrel pointing at him, he couldnʼt do anything.

”Seven...?”

”Should we bring it up to eig-”

”FINE! Enough! Iʼll settle on five pairs of wings”

Listening to this, Serevia smiled, stood up, and stretched her hand for a handshake.

Despite his reluctance, Calignar shook her head.

”Iʼll send people for the details, itʼs a pleasure doing business with you,” She said.

Upon setting on a deal, Calignar turned around to leave, ”Letʼs go!”

Heeding his command, the other Angels quickly scrambled to the exit, carrying the wounded Angel with them. Before Calignar followed them, he looked over at Serevia, ”Do you know the name Rex?”

”Rex Silverstar...?”

”Yes, thatʼs the one. Rex Silverstar. Who is he?”

”An Emperor, a Werewolf, a Human, and the strongest entity in this continent. Just a piece of friendly advice, do not clash with him or youʼll find your time as a new Archangel ended long before it should”

”Heʼs that strong?”

”Someone stronger than him? Perhaps there is. But what makes him really dangerous is that he is an anomaly. Flee on sight, you wouldnʼt last against him”

Meanwhile, at the same time back in the Silverstar Pack castle.

Rex stood with sweat dripping down his body but a smile crept to his face suddenly.

Realizing that he was smiling, he quickly covered it.

”Whatʼs this...? Why the heck am I smiling? But I feel apparently elated for no reason”
