The Invincible Full-Moon System

Rex instructed both of them—to gather the Lunar Bees from the other subservient kingdoms and use them—to find treasures. Considering that the Honey Moon was an anticipated event for the Werewolves, he couldn\'t afford to miss it.

If the Honey Moon passed, the Lunar Bees would disappear alongside it.

So Rex has to task someone to use the Lunar Bees.

Both of them were firm in their answer, they had used all of the Lunar Bees to the last one.

All of the gathered treasures have been stashed in the treasury.

However, what surprised Rex the most was the number—of Lunar Bees the other kingdoms had gathered. Based on Prof. K, the highest amount came from the Elves who had gathered a whopping 8 Lunar Bees followed by the Orcs and Dark Elves at 4 and 3 respectively.

Elves had forests covering their entire territory so it was natural for them to catch that many.

Even then, Rex was embarrassed when he heard this.

I\'m the Emperor and I only managed to get one, that\'s pathetic for me.

Regardless of that, the castle\'s treasury now has something inside of it other than dust.

After reporting about his findings, Prof. K and Giana bowed and left the room.

Now that he was all alone for the longest time, Rex rubbed his face and rested on the sofa in a relaxed manner, "Being an Emperor is damn tiring. I only had been doing this, for a bit, I will probably get used to it later"

It wasn\'t even a minute and the door was knocked.

Rex glanced at the door and realized who it was.

"Come in," He said with strength.

Obtaining his permission, the door was opened, and Ryze walked inside.

"I\'m sorry for disturbing you, Your Majesty but can I have a talk?"

"Stop being formal with me, talk normally"

"O- Okay..."

Ryze took a single sofa on the corner and pulled it to sit in front of Rex.

His spine was straight all throughout, nervous.

"I understand I haven\'t paid any attention to you, Ryze. Feel free to ask me anything"

As Rex said this, his eyes gleamed, scanning Ryze\'s stats.

...

<Alma Ryze - Silverstar Pack Pending Member>

Race: Heavenly Dragonman

Power: Seventh Rank (Peak) - Lord of Red

State: Human Form

Status: Feeling uneasy.

Mental: 25,000

Strength: 20,500

Agility: 10,250

Endurance: 23,250

Intelligence: 6,000

...

Rex was surprised to see Ryze\'s stats, he had gotten way stronger than before.

He didn\'t even give Ryze anything or any direction but he got stronger steadily.

Of course, he should be around the eighth-rank realm or perhaps higher but he was now in his human form so his power was suppressed—exactly like Rex\'s forms. In addition, Ryze\'s mental stat was extremely high.

Probably due to the second draconic soul, Zaddrass\' soul that he devoured.

"I overheard from Madam Giana that she was tasked to search for the Angel infiltrator, and I want to ask your permission to help her in that task," Ryze, trying to be strong. "I assure you that I won\'t disappoint. I will find that Angel and kill it"

Upon hearing this, Rex sighed with emotion.

Just from his words alone, Rex knew that Ryze was trying to prove himself as useful.

"I know you led the reinforcement army back against the Fifthbron and also had grown up fast from the last time we had a real conversation," Rex said, before shaking his head. "so there is no need for you to prove yourself further. I have already seen you"

Ryze was visibly caught off guard when he heard this.

Remembering what Rex told him, that he needed to grow up quickly, this was a compliment.

A good one that made him feel elated and happy inside.

But even then, he still persists with what he wanted, "Still, I want to contribute"

"If you are not planning to leave the castle anytime soon, I could bring Delta with me, so she won\'t get bored being cramped inside," Ryze continued, giving more reasons to allow him to go with Giana. "Please, Rex... Let me come with her"

Deliberating for a moment, Rex eventually nodded, "Okay, you can go,"

Ryze instantly clapped his hands excitedly.

However, Rex soon added, "But remember this, I already acknowledge you"

Just like that, Ryze left the room alongside Rex in a happy mood.

He turned to go find Giana while Rex watched his back going further away, "Hope he didn\'t end up like me, or Kyran. We have no choice, but Ryze has a choice, he could be strong but not as cold and broken as us"

Rex turned and walked along the marvelous hallway with a destination in mind.

He stopped in front of a door, Kyran\'s room.

Looking around to see if there were any other people around, Rex nodded when he found the coast was clear and headed inside after knocking. He was instantly greeted, with the sight of Kyran asleep on the bed, with Naela standing beside the dressing table.

Knowing that it was Rex, Naela was already standing up out of respect.

"I hope I didn\'t disturb anything,"

"No, Your Majesty. You didn\'t disturb anything"

"Good, I need to talk to you in particular. We don\'t need to go anywhere. We can do it here,"

Naela was confused and slightly nervous but she calmly led Rex to the side.

Since the bed chamber was massive, it was adorned with soft sofas beside the fireplace.

Both of them sat on the sofa adjacent to each other.

"Tea?"

"No, I\'m not thirsty"

Upon hearing this, Naela nodded and sat down, staring at Rex with question marks.

"How was your relationship with Kyran?"

"It\'s not great... He still didn\'t trust me but I\'m confident he would open up to me eventually"

"Hmm... good,"

As he said that, the conversation came to a silent halt once again.

But Naela couldn\'t contain the tension, her heart was beating so hard from uneasiness.

Rex wouldn\'t come to her if it was not important.

"Does this have something to do with the servants being called over to the Empress?"

"Yes, I don\'t want them to hear our conversation"

"Your Majesty still didn\'t trust them? Even when Kyran himself vouches them?"

"I trusted Kyran and his judgment, but this is different. A bad habit of mine, I can\'t trust any of them on a whim, especially with what they did to Evelyn"

Positioning his seat better, Rex decided to get into the topic.

"I\'m here to ask you about Iris. I\'ll be working with her so I need to know more about her"

"Iris...?" Naela frowned when she heard this, she recalled the night when she and Rex had gone to the Dark Elf Kingdom to get the Divine Chalice. "Unlike King Jorik, she is of noble blood for real. She is the cousin of Silve, the family head—of the Khuurtid Family.

As Your Majesty might know, she is unique—she mutated after bathing in the Blessed Blue Water, containing an immense amount of moonlight energy"

"Other than that, she was the Grandmaster of the Ash Assassin" She added.

Rex listened attentively and asked again, "Is there anything odd at all about her?"

"No... Not that I know of," Naela replied, but then she stopped, and her eyes slightly widened. "there is one actually. I remember overhearing the Queen talking with the other new nobles— discussing her origin. Based on them, Iris\' lineage into the Khuurtid Family was weird—almost as if she suddenly appeared in the family tree"

Upon hearing this, Rex frowned.

He tried asking if Naela could remember more details but she couldn\'t.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

She overheard it and didn\'t dwell further as it was impolite.

Rex leaned back on the sofa and nodded, looking ahead in a daze, drowned in thoughts.

"Can I ask what business Your Majesty had with her?" Naela asked.

Even though it might be improper to ask, she decided to ask anyway for clarity.

One thing that she knew about Iris was that Iris is usually reserved—seeing her approaching and basically stroking Rex\'s ego was out of the ordinary, for someone like her. It made Naela a little bit worried.

"I\'m going to cooperate with her to tackle the Tabaxi Race," Rex answered truthfully.

He has nothing to hide.

Other than personal matters that he needed to focus on, he also needed to spare his time to meet with Iris regularly as she was going to teach him about the Tabaxi Race\'s etiquette. Iris said that she was well-versed in that, and there was no reason not to trust her.

Even though it was weird that she knew about that, Rex didn\'t question it as she was old.

Despite her youthful and vigorous appearance, she\'s certainly thousands of years of age.

If she failed to deliver, Rex could simply walk away.

Rex already purchased the information about the Tabaxi Race from the System.

He now knew about the Tabaxi Race theoretically so he wouldn\'t be duped.

Going along with Iris might make me more smooth and genuine to the Tabaxis, I\'ll take it.

"Tabaxi race...?" Naela muttered with a frown.

Suspecting her reaction, Rex asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Ah, not something wrong exactly..." She answered, waving both—of her hands. "I was just wondering how Iris knew anything, about the Tabaxis. We Dark Elves never really have any business with the Tabaxis. In fact, the Tabaxis only has good relations with a few"

"Tabaxis are thieves, the only people that entertained them are probably other thieves such as the low-ranked Demons like the Imps, Goblins and the like, or Angels who didn\'t disfavor any races," She continued, speaking what\'s on her mind.

Rex shrugged his shoulders, "I\'ll ask her directly when I meet her later"

Despite her unease, Naela didn\'t voice it out.

She was talking to someone who defeated a God, it would be weird to be worried about him.

Additionally, it was not her place to worry.

"Your Majesty, have you always been like this? Researching about those you came in contact with?" Naela asked—out of curiosity. It was weird for her to see Rex like this. If she were him, a meager Dark Elf like Iris wouldn\'t even cross her eyes.

Even if she wanted to do something, she couldn\'t.

Rex was simply too strong.

"Your mother was once a part of the Ash Assassins, she worked her way up the ladder—and achieved, the rank of a Night Sister. At the age of three hundred, she met with your father, a noble who was known to be vicious and ruthless but they fell in love at first sight"

"Because of their backgrounds—they don\'t want you to become like them so they raised you up with love, and in return, you became a lovely young girl"

Upon hearing this, Naela\'s eyes widened completely in shock.

Rex had basically recited her parents\' history even though they only met once.

It was during the time King Jorik offered to betroth Naela to Kyran.

Not only that, but he also knew the reason why her parents raised her with love which Naela herself didn\'t know. She knew her father—was a well-known noble, but she did not know his reputation.

Moreover, she never knew her mother was from the Ash Assassins.

Her mother never mentioned it.

"H- How did you know that...?" Naela uttered in a whispering tone.

Rex had no change in expression—as he answered, "I consider all possibilities—that is what I do. Why do you think I ask you to be friends with the others and accept you as a part—of the family?"

Upon saying that, he cast a light smirk at Naela before he stood up and left the room.

He left Naela stunned on the sofa.

Moments later.

Rex was inside a small room with only a table and a coat hanger.

Opening his clothes, he changed into a sleeveless black combat suit he bought in the shop.

It gave him the ability to lessen the amount of stamina burned in intense physical training.

Equipping steel-knuckled battle gloves that firmly fitted onto his hands, Rex nodded before he pushed open the door and stepped outside. He was greeted by sand ground—he was in the training chamber of the castle.

As opposed to being alone, at the center of the arena were two figures.

Both of them were not Humans, but spirits instead.

Devo and Amanir were there, waiting for him to change into his training outfit.

Standing across the two spirits, radiating with immense spirit energy—Rex smiled—before he punched both of his fists together, summoning sparks of black lightning and lunar mana, "Are you ready? Come at me with all you got, don\'t pull anything back"

"Because every one small mistake, I\'m going to beat the holy hell out of you in return..."
