The Invincible Full-Moon System

A Pride Challenge is not only a sacred tradition but also a cultural one.

It was a battle between two packs before the eyes of the people and the Lunirich Gods, and that alone showed its significance, something that shouldn't be disturbed when it was going—but Princess Selene couldn't help herself.

She would be punished one way or another for doing this, but it was understandable.

The Bloodstone Crater's destruction signs the total failure of the Werewolves.

A humiliation to the Werewolf race of the highest degree.

Even the other Supernatural Races were not brazen enough to target the Bloodstone Crater, but the Royal Black Prince didn't care about that. And now, the sacred site was destroyed, in rubbles from the usurper's power.

Princess Selene must repay this slap to the face, and she was doing that right now.

Several steps behind, Riona looked at her Alpha with unease.

'I know the Bloodstone Crater was destroyed, all Werewolves knew that—at the hands of the Royal Black Prince definitely, but something seemed wrong. Adhara's sudden betrayal—it did not seem right' She looked at Adhara, still struggling to contain Flunra and Kyran.

Losing a member already, her reaction should've mimicked Kyran's and Flunra's reactions.

But as opposed to unleashing her wrath, she only frowned and seemed at a loss.

An underwhelming reaction for a Werewolf who just lost a beloved.

Not to mention, the fact that Gistella's remains disappeared, Riona found it unsettling.

Something was definitely wrong about this.

Regardless of the Alpha's emotions right now, Riona wanted to inform her concerns but was a tad bit too late. Princess Selene, in devastation—made quick work of the Silverstar Pack's Betas, Kyran, and Flunra.

A beam of swirling kingly energy came from the sky, coating Princess Selene's claws.

Viciously, she made three slicing strikes that happened in a fraction of a second.

Nothing happened for a brief moment before blood splashed.

Both Kyran and Flunra had the front of their bodies hacked viciously, blood forced its way to their mouths, and splashed outside as they fell backward. Falling to the ground with a heavy thud, both grunted in pain.

On their chests, Princess Selene's slashes marked them with glowing yellow arcs.

Pointing her hands towards them, she squinted her eyes ruthlessly.

Splash!

In the next second, Flunra and Kyran's chests exploded, killing them instantly on their spot.

Adhara was the only one remaining, standing upright with a cold expression.

"No reaction?" Princess Selene scoffed, closing in slowly. "As expected of the Female Alpha"

Stab!

Not wasting a single second, knowing that she still had matters to attend to about the Royal Black Prince, she stabbed her claws below Adhara's chest. She pulled her claws out again—revealing a violet fiery sphere.

It was Adhara's spirit core, and she bit her lower lip in pain, holding in her desire to squeal.

She never felt pain like this, but she managed to endure it without much reaction.

However, the few sharp gasps showed that she was feeling pain.

Princess Selene could feel and knew that the Silverstar Pack has the power of an Awakened, none of them are pure Werewolves, that solely rely on the moon. Because of that—she knew Adhara wouldn't die from this.

Splash!

Gripping the violet sphere, Princess Selene shattered it with a simple exertion of strength.

Almost instantly, Adhara could feel a lot of her power drained away, leaving her weak.

Having her spirit core crushed, she fell to her knees as the violet flames gushed out of her.

It was a spectacular display, the violet flames gushed out endlessly, turning the ground into a sea of flames. A process that took a moment, before she was fully drained, harmless in terms of her Awakened power.

Seeing this, Princess Selene's body trembled.

Despite her logic being clear in her mind, her desire burns greater and devours her logic.

She knew that she needed to help Prince Leif in order to take down the Royal Black Prince—but her emotions, got the better of her. At this moment, she could carved out Adahra's heart and kill her but she refrained from doing that.

Roar!!

Boom!!

Exploding with rage, Princess Selene punched Adhara in the face, planting her on the earth.

So hard that a crater was made behind Adhara's head.

Mounting on Adhara ferociously, Princess Selene bared her fangs and leaned closer.

"Do you know what your Alpha did?!" She asked furiously.

Hatred mixed with helplessness dripped in her voice.

Finding no answer from Adhara's mouth, Princess Selene began pummeling Adhara—each of her strikes, landed on her face—widening the crater behind her head. Adhara was under, her mercy, she couldn't do anything as her body felt incredibly weak.

She couldn't muster any power as her moonlight energy was being suppressed.

Princess Selene's kingly energy made her moonlight energy heavier to channel or control.

Bam!

"Do you know what he did?! He destroyed our sanctuary!!"

Crack!

"He's barbaric! Honourless! Evil!"

Bam!

"He's not a human or a Werewolf! A false being! He didn't deserve to live in this world!!"

Slash!

Not stopping only at punches, Princess Selene clawed her, tearing flesh after flesh.

It was hard to look even for the Dancing Stripe Pack.

Princess Selene pulled back—straightening her spine as she breathed heavily, looking at the bloody mess, she had created. Adhara was disfigured, bleeding from everywhere—gazing at Princess Selene dead in the eyes with a cold gaze.

Despite the beating she received, she kept staring at Princess Selene with the same gaze.

A gaze that angered Princess Selene greatly.

It was as if Adhara was pitying her through a cold gaze despite the dire situation.

Coughing weakly a couple of times—Adhara spat blood to the side before she looked at the wrathful princess, once again, "And yet... he is the strongest, he can't be killed. Killing me or the other Silverstar Pack members won't change that. Know that by dawn, you will be dead"

"Savor the Honey Moon one last time, princess, for this will be your last..." She added.

A rasping last words that struck fear into the hearts.

One that was influenced the most was Riona, the unease inside of her swelled.

She felt a cold shiver running down her spine at Adhara's words.

Gritting her teeth at the audacity a lesser Werewolf had to talk down to her, a Princess of the Honey Moon, Princess Selene wasted no words back and pierced Adhara's chest in one stab—clawing out her heart, watching closely as the light from Adhara's eyes faded.

Only after Adhara was dead, Princess Selene took out her crushed heart.

Looking at it briefly—she devoured it as she couldn't pass up on this delicacy.

It would give her more power if she absorbed a powerful Female Alpha like Adhara.

Pivoting around, she then headed over to the direction of the Bloodstone Crater, finishing the matter she had here, "Bring their corpses. Let's see what his face would be like after realizing that his entire pack was dead"

Just as she said that, however, a voice called her from behind, "Your Highness,"

"Hmm...?" Princess Selene turned around, seeing that it was Riona who called.

She saw Riona point back at where the Silverstar Pack's corpses should be but now were empty—there was no sign of their corpses. It caught her off guard—not expecting this to happen, "Where are they? Where are their corpses?"

"It vanished..." Riona replied, causing Princess Selene to tilt her head in utter confusion.

...

Meanwhile, back to the Bloodstone Crater.

"All that fierce bravado and declaration amounted to this... but, I must say you exceeded my expectations, oh Avatar of the Demon Moon. It seemed this place really was a holy one, you were helped by the Great Luna, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Alaric who was pushing himself up widened his eyes.

He didn't know what had happened.

One moment he was clashing against Rex's attack but in the next, he was here.

But hearing that Rex's voice was still calm and composed, his breath got stuck in his throat.

Prince Alaric raised his eyes slowly to scan the surroundings, only to have his heart, skip a beat when he was greeted by pure devastation. The lake was no more—it had evaporated completely, leaving nothing but a massive crater.

Ahead of him was the island, the island where the last fortress of the Great Luna stood.

No structures could be seen, only wood and rubble.

"No," Prince Alaric sucked in a cold breath before he crawled pitifully ahead. "No, no, no, this can not be... this can't happen. I'm dreaming, I must be dreaming. I must've fallen asleep—by the Great Luna's presence, that must be the case"

Despite saying that, holding the rubbles of the once-great castle, tears flowed down.

Deep down, Prince Alaric knew that this was reality.

Sparing no heart for the moment, Rex, unscathed completely by the clash stood up.

He reached a finger into his mouth, touching his right upper fang, gleaming slightly.

"Good thing I found this or else I'd need another Brutal Impulse to destroy this place," Rex smirked nonchalantly. Along the way to this place he had used the Lunar Bee he captured himself and was led to find this treasure, Lupinor's Blessed Fang.

...

...

Since the treasure gained from one Lunar Bee was useful, Rex was excited to see the rest.

"Prof. K should be using the gathered Lunar Bees right now..." He muttered lightly.

As Rex muttered to himself, his senses flared.

"Raargghhk!" Prince Alaric was upon him—charging like a wild beast from behind. His claws swiped with ferocious speed, each strike tearing through the air and firing a blast of energy that cracked the earth along its path.

Fueled by the burden of failing to protect the Great Luna's legacy, he became mad.

His power spiked hard as he turned into a vessel of pure fury.

Even his raw strength nearly doubled from before.

Slash!

Crack!

But rage made his attacks predictable, and Rex, with minimal movement, effortlessly dodged each one, a sly smile, playing on his lips. Everything was going according to plan. If his guess was correct, Prince Alaric's reinforcements would soon come but that was not a problem.

In fact, it only fueled his unbridled confidence—this was to be the final act.

Making a swift blur, Rex dodged a slash, a powerful claw arc of deep red kingly energy.

He then swiftly kicked Alaric's chin and flipped backward to create distance.

Landing smoothly, Rex instantly surged forward, building his own offensive momentum.

With flawless precision, he channeled his kingly energy into his leg, feigning a claw strike but delivering a devastating kick, instead. The impact against Prince Alaric's vambraces was—an utter surprise, a beam of energy erupted from the other side, and to his horror his vambraces began to crack under the force.

Despite being in his Human form, Rex still held the upper hand.

Seizing the moment, Rex grabbed Alaric by the neck, leaped skyward, and hurled him into the rubble below. Their battle had become a chaotic dance, shadows, clashing across the ruined landscape, but one shadow was clearly dominating.

Mid-air, Rex dodged an attack and sank his fangs into Alaric's neck.

He invoked his Absolute Predominance Fangs skill.

The banished dark moon kingly energy rushed into Alaric's energy stream—not enough to dominate, but enough to induce excruciating pain. With a final—merciless slash across his chest, Rex sent him crashing into the distance, a dark silhouette against the ruined place.

Coughing a mouthful of blood, holding his neck, Prince Alaric glared at Rex.

He couldn't believe that he was being outclassed by Rex even though he hadn't gone all-out.

Not to mention, there was something about Rex's attack to made Prince Alaric feel odd.

'He's holding back against me...' Prince Alaric thought, his expression darkened.

Rex then suddenly said, "Let's give you some motivation, shall we?"

Out of thin air, Rex summoned the Great Luna's remains that he had stored in his inventory.

He then placed it on the side, giving Prince Alaric a playful smirk.

But then, Prince Alaric also smirked as he raised his chin high, "I admit you are stronger than me. I'm even willing to admit—that you are the strongest Werewolf, in this era but... it seems you forgot about one thing,"

"And what's that, Prince Alaric?" Rex asked, tauntingly.

Just as Rex that, countless figures landed from the sky, surrounding him on all sides.

All of them created an unending stream of heavy thuds.

Glancing around—Rex smiled as his eyes glowed crimson, seeing hundreds if not thousands of Werewolves, surrounding him. Each one of them was brimming with wrath—growling, and hissing at him.

Rex focused back ahead as Prince Alaric continued.

"The world has awakened, and thus... you're not invincible anymore," He replied.
