The Invincible Full-Moon System-Chapter 927 War of Words

Oblivious to what the Dwarves were thinking, Adhara inspected the two Supernaturals.

A frown appeared on her face at the sight of them.

Not because of their imposing auras that were on par with Rex, showing that the two of them were the Elders of the Supernaturals that were awakened recently, but she frowned because of the dominant emotional auras coming from them instead.

Elder Rancaladra with his fearsome presence is gleaming with golden emotional energy.

It was the quintessence of pride and confidence.

On the other hand, Elder Tilrith whose hips swayed left and right as she walked, boasting beauty and temptation that could even tempt a silence-swore old monk emanated a fiery pinkish aura, an aura of constant lust as a succubus.

Compared to the two, Adhara was more wary of Elder Tilrith.

Appearance-wise, being more meticulous in the presence of Elder Rancaladra would have been the conventional approach. However, Adhara couldn't ignore the way her senses responded more to Elder Tilrith, whose lips curled into a mysterious yet playful smile. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝑜𝑟𝘨

Something feels off about Elder Tilrith.

'I couldn't see through her, this is the first time I've experienced this' Adhara pondered.

Because of the thick, overpowering pinkish emotional aura that Elder Tilrith has, it is impossible for Adhara to discern any emotions other than lust, and the fact that this was her first encounter with someone she couldn't read is all the more troubling.

Moreover, this is their first encounter to boast.

Unknowingly, her presence alone already made a great impression in Adhara's mind.

Adhara shook her head and stepped forward, standing beside Rex as her expression turned serious, and her bearing changed to that of the stern Female Alpha again. "Who are they, Rex? Do you know these two?" She asked.

"Both are the current leader of the Dragonman and Demon Race" Rex replied shortly.

Keeping his eyes trained forward at the Elders, he then continues, "I confronted them during their meeting as per Queen Shanaela's information. I've fought with Elder Tilrith and won, but she didn't go all out, and her limit is still unknown. As for Elder Rancaladra, all I know is that he is the Prime Heavenly Dragon. Nevertheless, both of them are on my side for now, so their arrival here shouldn't be a problem"

Listening to this, Adhara nodded and put on a frosty look.

"As expected, you were eradicating them quite easily, Royal Black Prince" Elder Tilrith was the first one to speak, standing across them, ignoring the gazes from the Dwarven army. "It seems I was mistaken to think that they would at least give you a proper fight"

Upon hearing this, Rex grinned, his eyes gleaming with power.

"Now, now... Is this why you asked me to deal with them? To test my power?" He asked.

Elder Tilrith shrugged her shoulders gracefully, "No, actually. I have not such intention"

Darting her sharp demonic eyes to the side, she noticed that the scars from the brutal clash between Rex and the Rastrikan Demons were gradually healing. It was one of the effects of the World Awakening, where the world itself could mend its wounds.

However, the lingering remnants of the battle were still discernible for the time being.

"It's sad to be suspected of this. We're on the same side, so it'll be great to start trusting each other more," Elder Tilrith chimed, but she soon smiled in understanding. "But I won't force it, the time will come by itself"

"Yes, indeed. I'm sure the time will come soon enough" Rex replied, his voice peculiar.

Of course, Elder Tilrith caught this oddness.

But both of them knew that a verbal battle between them was unavoidable.

Despite being on the same 'side' right now to take down the Executor, that status between them is quite blurry and can change suddenly if the situation presents itself, and the tension between them albeit small, its presence couldn't at all be ignored.

Just then, her eyes rested on Adhara with great interest.

"Care to introduce me to this lovely woman beside you?" Elder Tilrith suddenly asked.

Adhara lifted her chin proudly and took the initiative to deliver her introduction with a frosty tone that carried undeniable authority, depicting her status, "I am Adhara Alpenore, the devoted counselor and the Female Alpha of the Silverstar Pack. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Succubus"

Upon hearing this, Elder Tilrith's eyes flickered, and her smile spread wider.

"Female Alpha?" She mused whisperingly, but she then found an intertwining bond between them that stretched more than simple pack members. "And more it seems... I pity you, Adhara, fate might turn cruel for you"

Since she was whispering inaudibly, Adhara couldn't grasp what she was saying.

"I am Tilrith, the epitome of lust and the current leader of the Demon Kingdom. Recently, a new friend of Rex too. And the pleasure is mine, Adhara" Elder Tilrith introduced herself in a graceful manner, her movement was slow and depicted the bearing of royalty.

Briefly ending their introduction, she then turned to Rex again.

"So, where are they?" Elder Tilrith changed the subject, both hands on her waist.

Surveying the surroundings, expecting to see a battlefield strewn with carcasses if the battle between them really happened, she found that there were only lifeless bodies of Dwarves with no sign of Rastrikan Demons in sight.

Due to that, it raised a perplexing question, one that she couldn't help but voice aloud.

In return, Rex didn't answer and summoned two heads from the inventory.

Thud!

Knowing that he would eventually need to show proof of the Rastrikan Demons' demise, he withheld from absorbing these two heads, it's better to have them on hand rather than devouring them as he did to the other Rastrikan Demon carcasses.

With a light flick of his hand, he threw Demon Lord Ranath's and Olgaroz's heads to her feet.

Both rolled on the ground before stopping at Elder Tilrith's feet.

"No souls, and decapitated heads. Killed permanently" Elder Tilrith nodded her head, inspecting the two heads with her eyes. "I expect no less from you, Royal Black Prince. But what about the others?"

Rex shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "Just assume that the deed is done"

"Demon Lord Kirgil is the last one standing and had not for the two of you disturbing us, we would already be on our way to attack him right now" He added, deliberately not telling the fate of Aructh and Mazel who were turned into a Half-Blood.

Elder Tilrith nodded leisurely, seemingly trusting his words.

However, it was then that she looked Rex dead in the eyes, "What about Aructh and Mazel?"

It was going smoothly, but that suddenly changed.

Adhara who was attempting to pry the direction of this conversation, furrowed her brows as the tension abruptly escalated upon that question. Elder Tilrith's genuine smile acted as a catalyst, further intensifying the already palpable tension.

An unreadable expression that could either be a mask or not.

Since her emotional aura was unreadable, it was impossible for Adhara to know either.

Despite the tension between them, Rex kept an indifferent and composed look, making sure to keep his eye contact strong. But then, Elder Tilrith added raspingly, "You... You didn't do anything absurd to them other than killing them, did you?"

Swoosh...

Upon her second question, a cold wind blew to the surroundings.

Compared to Rex and Adhara who were able to withstand the unbelievable tension, the Dwarven army started sweating profusely, and their legs began to shake as their minds reverted back to the sight of Rex turning Aructh and Mazel into Half-blood.

Elder Tilrith seemed to want the Rastrikan Demons dead, but this might be too far.

Stripping Aructh and Mazel from their race might be going too far.

It was obvious that there was a potential that Elder Tilrith would take offense to this, and initiate a conflict that could result in countless Dwarves' lives as collateral damage, and that is what the Dwarven army was concerned about.

"Absurd act is a subjective means, no? I eradicate them in my own way" Rex replied vaguely.

Just as expected, Elder Tilrith squinted her eyes when she heard this.

A pin dropping could be heard in the next minute as the tension kept on choking everyone in the area. Some were even holding their breaths, fearing that they would draw attention to themselves since it was so quiet.

But eventually, Elder Tilrith giggled, "Well, as long as they're gone. I'm sure it's fine"

"Besides, no matter what you did to them, it doesn't really matter to me. I've given you the benefit of the doubt, Royal Black Prince. I'm sure you'll not fail in taking down Kirgil, so I've already done my part too" She added, waving her hand gracefully.

Upon finding her returning to normal, the Dwarven army could sigh in relief for now.

Rex nodded his head, it seemed she fulfilled her words.

<nulli>I'm 70% sure she knew that I stripped Aructh and Mazel from their own race. But I'm not sure why she would suppress her anger if that's the case. Is it to catch me off guard later? Bury it until the time is right? Or am I wrong and she's really indifferent about it?

<nulli>Despite the conversation went smoothly with a small hiccup, her reaction is quite odd.

From her pause earlier, it was clear that she was feeling something.

Suspecting her to know the fate of Aructh and Mazel made her angry is the thing he assumed, but that was still a long guess. <nulli>Evelyn, Adhara, Calidora, and now her... Sometimes, I can't get any of them. Women are quite formidable in a game of wits.

Putting that to the back of his mind, Rex's attention then shifted to Elder Rancaladra.

"I may be mistaken, but have the two of you always been this close?" Rex asked, probingly.

Elder Rancaladra shook his head, his reptilian eyes gleamed with wisdom.

But instead of answering, he replied with a statement of his own, "Did you suppress the young Dragonman's energy? If you are, then don't bother because I already sensed him already and am here to meet with him"

Rex frowned when he heard this.

Finding that Elder Rancaladra was here, he instantly suppressed Ryze's aura with his.

However, it seems it was too late to do that.

Similarly, Adhara also instantly realized who was Elder Rancaladra referring to.

She instinctively stole a glance at Ryze in the crowd of the Dwarven army which she quickly realized was a big mistake as Elder Rancaladra noticed her and gazed in the same direction, finding Ryze who was already standing out amongst the Dwarves.

"Come forward, young one..." Elder Rancaladra commanded.

Ryze who was surprised to find his energy being encompassed with Upon seeing this, Adhara clicked her tongue as she cursed her reflex.

"Come forward, young one..." Elder Rancaladra commanded.

Ryze who was surprised to find his energy being encompassed with a powerful energy, originating from Rex was shocked again when he was called by Elder Rancaladra, who was looking at him with great interest.

Not having any other choice, Ryze walked out of the crowd and stood beside Adhara.

<nulli>If I'm not mistaken, the Dragonman is having a problem within their race. Unlike the others, the Dragonman's civilians or even other regular Dragonman were not awakened. Something must be wrong with them, and Ryze should be able to help him with that.

<nulli>Just from assessing the situation alone, Rex already grasped the fundamental knowledge.

He must know what cards he can play in every situation.

Swoosh...

But it was then that Elder Rancaladra stretched his hand and shot a dark azure energy.

Aiming straight at Ryze, the dark azure energy hits him solidly.

Both Rex and Adhara were late to react as this gesture contained no malice whatsoever, and thus their senses were not triggered by it. In a second, the dark azure energy cloaked Ryze's entire being and lifted him from the ground.

"No matter what you are doing, stop it" Rex commanded with a frosty and sharp tone.

Smirking lightly, Elder Rancaladra replied, "I'm just examining"

As Rex prepared to take action, his attention was suddenly drawn to a brilliant red light emanating from the side like the sun, accompanied by an unfamiliar and ominous growl that reverberated through his ears overbearingly.

When he turned to look, he discovered Ryze envelopped in blazing flames.

"Let go of me..."
