The Invincible Full-Moon System

Expecting a regular night with the looming danger from the Supernaturals, the Black Messenger was instead shoved with the sight of the silvery-haired woman, coming out of the forest's cover defenselessly.

He was intrigued as well as amazed by the pendant provided by the Executor.

King John has already told him about its effect briefly, but he was skeptical about it. As far as they know, the enemy's compound might be very far away, and for a scent to reach that far is quite impossible.

But in a matter of a week, the pendant managed to lure this silvery-haired woman.

The Black Messenger signaled for the defensive artilleries to point at the silvery-haired woman before he quickly jumped down from the Great Barricade, landing on the ground gracefully without making a single sound.

Straightening his back, he then gazes at the silvery-haired woman again.

Despite the slow and steady steps, seemingly hypnotized by the scent emitted by the pendant engraved on the walls, the Black Messenger didn't keep his guard down, he still doesn't feel that this is real.

Coursing through the desolate scarred pain, the woman then abruptly stops.

Gazing at the silvery-haired woman who was as tall as himself stopping a couple of steps away from him, the Black Messenger leans closer and finds that the silvery-haired woman's eyes were completely under the influence.

"If I'm not mistaken, this must be Gistella... the Enchanter of the Silverstar Pack"

Ever since Rex's rampage inside Ratmawati City, his coalition has been spread and memorized by all people. It's not a surprise for the Black Messenger to recognize this silvery-haired woman as Gistella.

Rubbing his chin for a second, the Black Messenger circles Gistella.

"Hmmm... I thought the one that would come would be either Evelyn or Kyran. Gistella is the Enchanter, she should have a strong mental will. I'm surprised she was the one that came here instead" the Black Messenger mused to himself.

In addition, he was also enthralled for a second, "She's very beautiful..."

Wanting to test, the Black Messenger decided to see if Gistella will react if he touches her.

Hesitantly, he taps Gistella's forehead with his index finger.

Just as King John said, the scent should put the weakest link in a hypnotized state where they wouldn't be able to snap out of the state the closer they got to the pendant. But even then, the Black Messenger still needs to be careful.

It's true that she's hypnotized, but her muscle memory might pose a threat to him.

Regardless of her condition, Gistella is still one of the Silverstar Pack, and her battle prowess is not a matter to be joked around with. The Black Messenger could feel that she's probably stronger than he is right now.

Her bluish aura cloaking her body is sharp, dense, and heavy like concrete.

After tapping Gistella, the Black Messenger quickly jumped away to a safe distance. But it seems there was no need, Gistella didn't react and stood still on her spot, 'Hmm... if she's completely defenseless like this, killing her wouldn't be a prob-'

Upon thinking that, the Black Messenger's eyes suddenly widened completely.

Bang!

In a fraction of a second, Gistella moved from her spot, charging forward like a bull. Her intense blue energy concentrated on her shield before she body-slammed the Black messenger powerfully, sending him crashing away like a bullet.

Crash!

The Black Messenger crashes onto the barrier protecting the Great Barricade, he felt his back was crushed from the force before he bounced off, and fell to the ground face-first.

Realizing what she did, the defensive artilleries started bombarding Gistella violently.

Different kinds of missiles and thick bullets coated by strong body parts of mutated animals rained down from above, covering Gistella in huge explosions and rapid fire that drowned her surroundings in dark smoke.

On the other hand, the Black Messenger coughed out a mouthful of blood.

'She reacted to killing intent, and I'm right... she's stronger than me' 

Forcing himself to stand up, the Black Messenger raises his hand to stop the bombardment.

Seeing that the Black Messenger signaled for them to stop, one military guy shouted before the bombardment stopped. It was then, the smoke fades again revealing Gistella still standing unbothered by the bombardment.

It seems a blue layer of protective barrier already surrounded her body.

While holding his pained stomach which shows that he has internal bleeding due to that attack, the Black Messenger looks at Gistella with a complicated gaze, 'Are we even on a different side...? The Executor, maybe we made a bad decision'

Knowing that Gistella reacted to killing intent, he's now aware of how to approach her.

The Black Messenger stands in front of Gistella again who has her eyes gazing down to the ground all this time, he suppressed his killing intent before he manipulates dark energy to gather underneath her feet.

Since she's now here, he needs to bring her to the Executor.

Just as he was about to lift Gistella up with his energy, the Black Messenger whipped his face towards Gistella when he saw a sudden movement. It came from her eyes, but it was too fast for him to see.

'Did she glance to her left, just now...?' the Black Messenger looks at her with a frown.

Upon realizing this, he quickly glanced to the side to see whether there was something that attracted her attention. But there doesn't seem to be anything other than the emptiness of the scarred desolate plain.

It made the Black Messenger dubious, he felt that something is wrong.

Squinting his eyes to gaze at the direction that he thought Gistella glanced to earlier for a moment, he decided that it was probably nothing, 'There's no way, I probably imagined it because of that attack earlier...'

Deciding that he would ignore it, his eyes suddenly caught sight of something

The Black Messenger was skeptical about Gistella but he was quite certain that he saw a pair of white glowing eyes appear from inside the forest before it disappeared in the next second. A shadow seems to be intercepted.

While he was thinking of this, the Black Messenger's eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

He looks back at Gistella with the same shock on his face.

But it was then a couple of Black Hands landed right behind him and tapped him on his shoulder, "Black Messenger, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? There's a healer on standby if you're hurt"I think you should take a look at

Upon hearing this, the Black Messenger clears his throat.

"No, I'm fine. Let's bring her out of here and prepare her transport" He replied calmly.

Although he was saying that calmly, the two Black Hands seems to feel that he was hiding something. Even then, there's no way the two of them would confront the Black Messenger about that.

Just like that, Gistella was taken away by them.

The Black Messenger didn't forget to cast one last look in a direction before leaping away.

It was already the next day.

Adhara has been leading the reinforcement and does her absolute best to be a leader.

First of all, the Dark Elf Kingdom is the first place they would stop as it's the closest to Dargena City. She regulates the army that will be stationed there, conveying her plan to King Jorik, and also appointing one trusted person to be there.

Out of her options, she decided to go with Lady Lauren to stay there.

Since Lady Lauren is a reserved person and not that great with new surroundings, judging from the bleak blue aura that she emitted which shows that she was nervous despite her calm front, Adhara decided to leave her there.

The Dark Elves are the safest ones, they are the first ally for the Silverstar Pack.

Moving on to the second destination the Tigerman Kingdom, Adhara also did the same thing and stationed the spell-reliant portion of the army to them. On top of that, she left Daniel there since he's quite adverse in dealing with this kind of situation.

Due to him being the president of ATC, he's adept at socializing and networking.

Additionally, the Tigerman Kingdom respected the big and strong. It would be better to leave Daniel there who is a man, have a wide frame despite his age, and also a strong eighth-rank realm Awakened that could hold his own.

With the death of King Samobas recently, the one that replaced him is called King Docvor.

Not as strong as the previous king, but strong nevertheless.

Lastly, Adhara and her convoys arrived at the Dwarven Kingdom which is their last destination. It was surprising for them to finish this venture within a day, but this is all thanks to Queen Shanaela and her elite warriors.

Casting a spell called Fleeting Nature, they were able to summon hundreds of carriages.

It could fit thousands of people and move almost as fast as Delta, and that allows the reinforcement to be distributed very quickly. Now, Adhara and Queen Shanaela are on their way to meet with the Dwarf King.

Reaching a cave in the snowy mountain, Adhara was surprised to find the King to be here.

Unlike the pompous and overbearing might that other Kings showed with respect for their position, the Dwarf King seems to be a humble one, living inside a cave at the top of the frosting mountain.

"Please enter inside, our King is waiting for you"

"Okay..."

Nodding her head, Adhara and Queen Shanaela entered the cave steadily.

While the two were walking inside the narrow path of the cave, Adhara couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Have you ever been here? I mean, have you ever met with the Dwarf King? Since both of your races are in the same standing, I expect you have, right?"

"No, the Dwarf King is very reserved. He never took a stand" Queen Shanaela replied.

Despite her being informed that the Dwarf Kingdom has decided to ally with Rex, it's still surprising for her to know since the Dwarf King doesn't usually take sides and only creates equipment and weapons to be used in war.

Joining forces with Rex means that he would be suspecting his kingdom in a brutal war.

But it seems there's also a limit to the Dwarf King's patience.

It didn't take long for the two of them to eventually reach a big space, and there was a single bonfire at the center with a robust figure sitting there. On the side is the infamous War Maul of Glacia, leaning against the wall.

Unlike the other Dwarves, the Dwarf King is massive.

Although still shaped like a Dwarf, his size was that of a giant. It was not even surprising if he's almost as big as Ugrok who is a Cyclops, and that alone shows that he's daunting in appearance.

"Please, have a seat..." the Dwarf King gestured politely.

Queen Shanaela and Adhara nodded their heads before the two sat across the Dwarf King on a rock that was placed for them to sit on. It was then, a brief silence covers the whole place as the Dwarf King seems to be in his thoughts.

A moment later, Queen Shanaela then asked, "If I may, what made you make the request?"

"Do you already have a person in mind that might attack your kingdom?" she added.

Listening to this, Adhara also looks at the Dwarf King expectantly. It was the Dark Elf and the Dwarf that asked for reinforcement, and out of the two, she doesn't know what makes the Dwarf this alert.

Knowing the reason for his request would also help her explain it to Rex when he wakes up.

Now that she thought about it, she wondered if Rex already wakes up.

"Yes, I believed that it's best for me to be open to the two of you. I'm worried that the Rastrikan Demons are going to attack my kingdom when they awakened. No... I know that they will attack us" the Dwarf King said dejectedly.

Contrary to Adhara, Queen Shanaela gasped in utter shock when she heard this.

It seems the Rastrikan Demons were quite notorious to make Queen Shanaela and the Dwarf King react like this, "What's with the Rastrikan Demons? Which side are they from, the blue demons or the red demons?"

"Rastrikan Demons are unique demons and have a side of their own..." Queen Shanaela utters.

Looking over to Adhara with a hint of fear in her pearly eyes, Queen Shanaela then continues, "Rastrikan Demons are the only demons that have two sins. They have the power of Wrath and Envy. They are also the only branch of Black Demons. In the past, these wicked demons are known as the most vicious, disgusting, and brutal branch of the entire Demon Race..."
