The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 1140: Midnight Wine

In times of war and chaos, hope was the strongest force for people with wisdom.

Anything good that happened—was an evident prospect, of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel—a natural fuel that made the force of hope at its strongest. In times of peace, was the complete opposite.

Good things are happening left and right, steering the world in a better direction.

At the current moment, good things are really happening.

Everybody, including both parties—Humans and Supernaturals alike, was happy and relieved as the war had now declined to a cold war, the dawn of a good era. Such a transition—is one that had never in the span of thousands of years, happened.

Only a common enemy was able to stagnate the cycle of hatred.

Rex was aware that his situation was getting better, with the other forces pressured.

He was the sole force that demanded and gained respect from others.

But because of those reasons, he knew that the common enemy would undoubtedly be him.

One that strayed from the common beliefs of the world.

Not to mention, a question couldn't help but appear in his mind with everything going well.

When will the bad time start again? Surely, it would come soon enough, right?

Perhaps owing to his history of always being on the edge of death—being struck by problem after problem, makes him skeptical about the peace he had managed to achieve. It was clear that everything felt unnatural for him.

He was unable to get accustomed to his situation quickly.

Others might not see it, but deep down, he was struggling to stay sane in the head.

His mind was never at peace.

Even when he tries to sleep, his mind is too loud for him to drowse to the dreamland.

Rex had Calidora to thank for giving him a problem—that could somehow distract his mind.

Before Calidora arrived at the castle and after his talk with Queen Shanaela, he already made and sent out official notices to the other kingdoms, about the incoming Honey Moon. It was a notice commanding them to prepare their forces and keep an open eye on the Lunar Bees.

Now that he had more forces to deploy, finding the Lunar Bees should be easier.

Lying on the bed, Rex glanced to the side and found Calidora was already meditating silently.

She was in a sleeping-like state, detached from her surroundings.

It was said that her grandmother sternly told her to do this when she was pregnant.

Given that female Vampires can only conceive once in their lifetimes, it's understandable that they approach matters of pregnancy with utmost seriousness. Also, due to that, Rex couldn't help but wonder if male Vampires were any different than their female counterparts.

And the answer was yes, which came as a shock to Rex.

Had it always been the case, then there should be many Vampire hybrids around.

But Calidora said that all of them got completely wiped out.

Even though she didn't know much considering her age back then, she knew that Vampires used the Vampire Hybrids as shields when the Ancient Humans were hunting them down to ensure the purebloods survived.

Due to that, she said that Vampire Hybrids should be extinct by now.

Just as he was thinking, the door to his bed chamber was knocked several times lightly.

"Your Majesty, it's me,"

Upon hearing Flunra's voice, Rex got out of bed and opened the door.

Exchanging a knowing glance at Flunra, he then asked, "Are the others asleep?"

"Yes, I believe so. I checked on all of them before coming here," He replied.

With a nod, Rex got out of the bed-chamber, gently closing the door behind him before he, in silence, trailed Flunra to the dining room. Upon arrival—he noticed several elegant glasses on the table accompanied by a decanter filled with a green liquid.

Rex took a seat while Flunra locked the door to the back kitchen where the maids were.

Seems like the two didn't want anyone to disturb them,

On the other hand, Rex took the decanter and inspected the green liquid inside.

Opening up to Adhara turned out to be way more effective than he initially thought.

As the others were basically ignoring him, there was this choking feeling in his chest as there was a lot that he wanted to say but couldn't. However, with Adhara taking the deliberation to be understanding, he felt much better, and the burden he carried within was eased.

Now that the moment calls for it, Adhara is the one who consoled him during his dark times.

She was a part of his strength, and he was glad to have her around.

Just like that, the regular banter turned steamy as the two began kissing passionately.

Realizing this, Flunra could only look down, respecting their privacy.

For a moment there—the two forgot his presence before Adhara was the one to snap out of their moment at the realization. "Flunra is here—Rex. You're making things awkward for him, you know that, right?"

"Don't worry about me, I am used to this," Flunra replied, bowing slightly.

Upon hearing this, Adhara and Rex could only smile wryly as they remembered Flunra's role.

He was a guardian with thousands of years of experience, this must be nothing for him.

Returning to their conversation, Adhara asked, "So, what are you going to do with Calidora?"

"I couldn't leave her for now, the baby was not at fault, and it needs a mother. Maybe I'll see how it goes between her and Evelyn—the two hated each other so I'll start from there," Rex replied, he already put some thoughts into this.

Although it was hard to swallow, Adhara decided to nod her head.

Regardless of what their situation was, Rex couldn't abandon Calidora, and that's a fact.

Not to mention, if the child was born and is a hybrid of a Vampire, a Werewolf, and a Human, then there must be some complications that would arise. As far as they are concerned, right now, the child might be in extreme danger from birth.

"Okay, now that we got that out of the way. What's with the drinking?" Adhara asked.

She hovered to smell the green liquid and pulled away instantly as the scent was very strong.

"Don't drink that, Lady Adhara. Only the Alpha could drink that," Flunra intervened.

It was too potent of a drink to be drank normally, even Flunra himself couldn't drink the wine.

Rex hesitated to open up, but he decided to drink more so that he was able to say what was inside of his head, truthfully. He was having trouble with the peace—not to mention that Rex didn't have the time to grieve for Edward.

His friend was trapped in the Chaos Realm, of course, that fact haunted him severely.

Desperate or not, he couldn't help Edward with his current strength.

He needs to be way stronger than his current self.

...

Meanwhile, back to Linthia.

Currently, she is reading the complaints from the resources center.

She had a good amount pile of papers on her desk.

Seated within her modest office that was recently built, adorned with ornamental flora—her attention was piqued as the door creaked open. Stepping into the room were the city guard from earlier and the Orc he had mentioned.

Putting the papers down, Linthia looked at the two and found that the Orc was shivering.

It seemed like he had gone through something horrifying.

"What is your name, Orc?" She asked.

Upon hearing this—the Orc slightly bowed and went straight to the point, "Me name's Gruk, an' forgive me fer bein' blunt—but I's part o' da crew sent to sweep da field of battle o' dem corpses an' salvage da usable gear,"

Linthia's eyes widened when she heard this, she never instructed the Orcs to help.

Regardless of that, she signaled for the city guard to leave her office.

Only then that she tell Gruk to continue, "I's got grim tidings from da dispatch, cap'n."

"What bad news?" Linthia asked, her expression turned serious.

However, before Gruk could report, the entire place suddenly shook violently.

It was an earthquake, a powerful one at that.

"What's happening?"
