The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 903 Subtle Threats

?

Saruth has already filled her in on the situation in the current era.

It consists mostly of the state of the world, the relationships between the races, the state of the war, and also the people in power before the older generations woke up. One of them is the Blodirra Family which reigns over the Vampire Kingdom as royalties.

A true royal vampire blood, however, they were one of the weaker ones.

However, Elder Tilrith was surprised when she heard the daughter had the Eyes of Terror.

Vampires have eye-related power, the stronger the blood energy inside of them becomes, the higher the chances for them to awaken a hidden power inside their bloodline that is mostly related to their eyes.

'The Eyes of Terror is one of the strongest eyes a Vampire could awaken' Elder Tilrith mused.

Locking her gaze onto Calidora's bright red eyes that were emitting power and eerie pressure, she inspected them closely. 'Not only that it has the most potential to become stronger through the partner it was linked to, but it also supplies endless motivation akin to a burning fire that made the possessor of the Eyes of Terror maniacally fix their mind to own the associated partner'

Upon seeing Calidora's daunting eyes, Elder Tilrith crooked up a smile.

'Her eyes and the way she acted reminded me of Queen Elizabeth. Sith Blodirra might be a coward, but I think she would condone his cowardly behavior for having a lineage like this young Vampire' Elder Tilrith tilted her head, amused by what she was seeing.

Calidora then didn't beat around the bush, "State me your deal with the Alpha, Elder"

"Did Solomon and Nezera fail to teach you any manners?" Elder Tilrith chided gently, her tone still graceful and sweet. "In case you've forgotten, my dear, this is the Demon Kingdom, and you're inside my grasp. I kindly suggest you mind your manners, young Calidora"

Perhaps, her tone was like this because of knowing how young Calidora was.

However, her warning doesn't seem to affect Calidora.

"I wonder that it was you that forgot, Elder Tilrith, that you are the representation of the Sin of Lust. Surely you understand that what's mine is mine, and I'm only here to peacefully remind you of that" Calidora replied, her words were bolder than before.

But this made Elder Tilrith laugh vibrantly, her shoulders raised up and down in hubris.

Covering her mouth in amusement, her demonic eyes then flashed.

Elder Tilrith's expression then turned normal in an instant, "I don't appreciate your tone, young Calidora" She mused before she pointed her index finger forward. "I warned you before to mind your manners, and you did not..."

Swoosh...

Crack!

Out of nowhere, her demonic energy pressed Calidora down to the ground.

In an instant, the ground beneath her feet cracked under the sudden demonic force, causing Calidora's eyes to widen in utter surprise. She struggled to maintain her footing against the overwhelming pressure exerted by Elder Tilrith.

"Maybe Nolacula is soft to you, but I'm not that soft..." Elder Tilrith added with a playful smile.

Crack!

More power came crashing down on Calidora's body.

Calidora was absolutely surprised to find that she could be suppressed this much when the First Breath was still enveloping them, and she fell to one knee. 'I underestimated her because I thought that since I matched with Rex, I could also match with her. But it seems I could match with Rex only thanks to the Eternal Curse between us'

'Without it, the power between us is still separated quite far away' She chimed in her head.

However, this is not too much for her to handle.

Admitting that she was being too arrogant and recognizing the lingering influence of her Eyes of Terror, Calidora, still seething with anger over Elder Tilrith, a Succubus's visit to Rex, resolved to be more cautious in the future.

It would be bad for her to be on Elder Tilrith's bad side because of this.

'But it doesn't matter, it's not like I didn't consider this happening. I'll use the leverage I have'

Not wanting to be pressed down like this and lose her bearing as a new force of the new era, Calidora exerted every ounce of blood energy inside her body and also the power of the Eyes of Terror to forcefully push herself up from the ground.

"Oh... Seems like you're not that spoiled" Elder Tilrith praised, seeing her standing up.

Upon regaining her footing, she then raised her gaze to meet with the Elder's gaze. "Let's stop this small banter, shall we? If you keep doing this, I don't think the Vampires will help you. I represent the Vampire Kingdom here, bear that in mind"

Elder Tilrith paused before she eventually dispersed her demonic energy.

In case something went wrong like earlier, Calidora already prepared something in advance.

Since this meeting was orchestrated by Elder Tilrith herself, who wants to discuss specifically with the Vampires about Rex Silverstar, it was evident that she had a particular purpose in mind and required the assistance of the Vampires.

Knowing that fact, Elder Tilrith wouldn't push too much to provoke the Vampires.

"Perhaps, now that you've proven to not be inexperienced, I'll have to make do in discussing this pressing matter with you" Elder Tilrith waved her hand nonchalantly, leaning back on her big throne with the demonic eye above it. "I've made a request to him to take care of the troublesome Rastrikan Demons. But he requested something in return, and this involves mostly you Vampires and Undeads"

"It's about the armies stationed along the way to the Symposium..." She added softly.

Calidora tilted her head in confusion when she heard this.

No matter how much she tried to ponder about the request Rex made that involved the armies, she couldn't quite understand where this was going. 'Elder Tilrith might know something about the plan, I need to find out about it'

Pausing briefly, Elder Tilrith then conveyed the request.

Just as she expected, she couldn't comprehend Rex's motives. "Why would he demand such a thing? It seems like it would only serve the Executor's interests. And in the event of any mishap, all of us, including him would fall back into enslavement"

Upon hearing the demand, Calidora couldn't believe it, she didn't expect this at all.

"To be honest, I am also hesitant to do something like this. It's too risky, and the moment the Executor gets what he needs then the entire world will be in trouble" Elder Tilrith sighed, she was also troubled by this request.

Compared to dealing with the Rastrikan Demons, this is way worse of a request.

It's not hard to do, but the possible risk is enormous.

But during that exact moment, Calidora's eyes went round as she came into a revelation. 'Rex is very afraid of losing those whom he holds dear because of the tragedy that befell his parents, his fear is definitely real and palpable. So that means if he wanted to do this, he has absolute certainty in himself and his plan'

Elder Tilrith was about to say something again but was intervened by Calidora.

"We'll do as he says, I'm going to bring this to Elder Nolacula and also the  Shapeshifters. On the other hand, you should bring this to the Undead and Werewolves" Calidora said, her tone now fixed and confident.

Seeing this change sparks interest in Elder Tilrith's eyes.

However, it would be reckless of her to not give this much thought and follow along the flow.

"I need time to ponder about this as this is not a small matter" Elder Tilrith denied.

The corner of Calidora's lips curled up when she heard this, "If I remember correctly, all of the Elders have already tested him and decided to give him a chance if he wanted to take down the Executor by himself, isn't that right? If that's the case, give him his chance"

"Unlike you, I'm close with him. And I can say that he's even more capable than he seems"

Elder Tilrith looked at Calidora and remained silent.

"So you were watching from the sidelines, may I ask why...?" Elder Tilrith asked.

Calidora smiled confidently and nodded her head. "I observed his consecutive battles against you, Elder Noskear, and the Storm Prince. As for my presence there... Well, I simply needed to ensure that what belongs to me stays that way, and be rid of others"

'She truly resembles Queen Elizabeth, a terrifying Vampire,' Elder Tilrith mused.

Deciding that there's no need for further contemplation since the decision has already been made during their previous encounter with Rex, Elder Tilrith nodded, seeing that both Rex and Calidora were resolute in this course of action.

It would be unwise to back down now, "Very well, I'll follow along with the plan..."

A moment later, the two have come to a decision.

Now that the meeting had finished, it was time for Calidora to leave as the demonic energy inside this throne room was already prickling her skin. If she stayed for too long, then she would be affected by it.

But before Calidora left, she stopped and looked over her shoulder. 

"Elder Tilrith..."

"Hmm?"

"What I said earlier, I still stand by it. You have my eyes' attention. So don't get too close"

Upon saying that, Calidora's body turned into blood again before it seeped into the ground and disappeared from the throne room. It was only then Elder Tilrith relaxed on the throne with an evident smile on her face.

Despite saying it with a monotone voice, there were subtle threats inside her words earlier.

Obviously, Calidora would not stand by if she got too close.

"I'll have to see what lies in the future, but I can't guarantee anything, young Calidora..."

Meanwhile, inside the Supernatural territory, there was a barren wasteland.

It reeks of death and decay with nothing alive, even the trees were all dead to the point of becoming extremely frail and blackened. Only undead birds could be seen lingering around, scanning the area with their green undead eyes.

At the heart of it all was a black castle, hovering with green damned souls around.

On the castle walls were engraved with numerous kinds of corpses of individuals that seemed to be strong once they were alive, and right before the castle walls were a couple of newly dug graves.

Coursing inside the castle, a Lich clad in a hood could be seen crouching on the ground.

Rex would recognize this entity as none other than Elder Noskear, judging from the immense forsaken aura she was emitting. But it seems she was not in good condition as she crawled onto her throne made of skulls of her victims.

Moreover, her decayed face seemed to be expressing a gloomy emotion. 

She was clearly grieving.

'How did the others know that I lost against him? Did someone watch the fight?!' Elder Noskear screamed inside her head, the reason she was in this state was because her loss against Rex somehow reached the others' ears.

It made most of her people view her differently, losing respect for her.

On top of that, her seat as the ruler of the Undead for now was shaken, and she was about to be replaced by a couple of Elder Liches who wanted to create a council that would regulate the Undead Crypt instead.

"Raarggh!!!" Elder Noskear roared, gripping the throne handles furiously.

Due to the embarrassment that she brought to the Undead race for losing to a new powerhouse, the council forced her to repay this deed through humiliation, and she was forced to dig her ancestors' graves and purify them from death energy.

Essentially, this made her ancestors temporarily forced to be in the Nirvanaworld.

An ultimate disrespect for an Undead.

It was done to appease her mistake to the entire Undead race for making a mistake.

Gazing onward to the void, Elder Noskear's eyes flickered with immense anger as a flash of Rex appeared in her bloodthirsty mind. 'I'll kill him... I'll kill him... I'll turn him into a puppet!!' She shouted inside her head.

"Yes... I need to kill him. I think the Storm Prince would want to do that too, I'll ask for his help"
