The Invincible Full-Moon System

Mounting on the mutated black panther was a mistake.

It was a big mistake.

Due to the excitement of reaching this place—way earlier than targeted, along with the duo being awe-stricken by the sight, they got careless and made this mistake. Compared to the traders who came here to deal business, Rex and Iris were sticking out like a sore thumb.

Both of them were akin to celestials among mortals, far too grand to be here.

Not that their clothes and appearance were too grand, but because of the black panther.

Some traders brought along carts pulled by mutated animals but the black panther was not only a mere mutated animal, it was a ninth-rank realm mutated animal. Not even the guards were mounting on a ninth-rank realm beast so they immediately garnered attention.

"Hey! Stop there!"

Once a voice called, Rex turned around while keeping his face hidden.

"Lift up your head and let me see your face," the Tabaxi guard added commandingly.

Slowly, Rex raised his face to meet the Tabaxi guard's gaze.

Upon seeing him, the Tabaxi guard frowned.

He was expecting something else but instead, he saw a weirdly furred Supernatural.

Despite forgetting about the mount, Rex didn't forget to blend himself—by only bringing out his furs, claws, and fangs. He controlled his transformation, stopping his snout from coming out and also his increase in muscle mass.

From a glance, he looked like a defected Supernatural.

Rex was now face to face with a Tabaxi, it was his first time seeing one.

He got down from the mount and stood in front of the Tabaxi.

Standing in front of him was a humanoid beast and man hybrid, a mix between a human and also a cat. Despite Rex's tall height, this Tabaxi guard was a few inches taller than him—able to look down on him.

Like a human, the Tabaxi guard was upright and had four limbs.

Short black furs poke from behind his armor, no longer than a few centimeters.

In addition, his face was that of a cat with slitted yellow eyes, whiskers, and also cat ears.

Armor-wise, the Tabaxi wore a generic plated armor with the only difference located at the collar. Unlike the other normal plated armor, the Tabaxis' helmet was an enchanted hood. It has two holes for their ears to poke out.

Upon seeing the Tabaxi guard up close, Rex scanned him with the System.

Seventh-rank realm, the guards roaming the front entrance were this strong?

Rex was mildly surprised, the fact that they were able to place a seventh-rank realm Tabaxi, on patrolling duty meant they had more to spare. And that alone made the Tabaxis—nearing if not matching the Dark Elves and Elves in terms of power.

Just as the intel stated, the Tabaxi had become a mid-rank Superrnaturarl race.

Keeping a stern look, the Tabaxi guard squinted his eyes.

"I've never seen you around," He said. "Who are you? And what brings you here?"

Instead of answering, Rex reached for his pockets inside the cloak, he was wearing—but the Tabaxi guard reacted swiftly, placing his hand on the hilt of his short sword. Seeing this, Rex paused and slowed down his movements, "Easy, I'm not taking out any weapon"

"I'm here to trade," He added, taking a couple of elixirs. "See?"

He took it from the inventory, the act of reaching for his pockets was only a fluke.

Since he is already alert, seeing someone having space magic would make this worse.

Upon spotting the vials, the Tabaxi guard gave a nod, before shifting his attention to Iris, still seated atop the mutated black panther. Approaching the beautiful beast he gestured toward it, then glanced at Iris with a curious look, "May I touch her? Is she safe?"

Knowing that it was a powerful beast, the Tabaxi guard was cautious.

"Go ahead," Iris smiled, gesturing for him to have a feel.

Rex remained silent, he didn't take part in this, Iris had mentioned earlier that the Tabaxi had a particular fondness for mutated animals—especially ones as beautiful as this. On the other hand, the Tabaxi took off his glove and used his hand to go along the beast's back.

He closed his eyes, feeling the power residing within.

Soon, he opened his eyes again, nodding eagerly with evidence of his admiration.

Even though he only touched the outer layer, he could feel the beast's vigor burning inside.

"How did you get this beast to be compliant?" the Tabaxi guard asked.

As opposed to Rex, Iris was the one who answered, "We saved her cub, it's fate"

"I see..." the Tabaxi guard nodded before he asked again. "Are any of you beast tamers?"

Not expecting to be asked something like this—Rex and Iris exchanged a look before both of them shook their heads. A beast tamer is rare, Rex had only met one. Seeing this, the Tabaxi guard became despondent, and it was evident through his expression.

Just as the Tabaxi guard was about to allow them to go, Rex stopped him.

"Can I ask why you were asking whether we're beast tamers or not?" He asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, the Tabaxi guard paused and replied, "We noticed movements from some Order Beasts in the area. Lately, the mutated animals—were acting weirdly and rumor stated that it might be the influence—of the Order Beasts. If you were beast tamers, the kingdom is prepared to pay you to help deal with them"

It was the same here.

Exactly like his territory, the Order Beasts were also a problem here.

"If you know a beast tamer, tell them about this," the Tabaxi guard continued.

"Yes," Rex nodded politely. "I'll keep that in mind"

As soon as he said that, the Tabaxi guard's face twitched but he kept his composure.

It didn't escape Rex and Iris' eyes, both of them caught that twitch.

Rex was about to mount the black panther again and went to the back of the queue, but the Tabaxi guard in return—stopped him, "What rank are those elixirs? If it is a high-rank elixir—I could help you talk with the right people"

Hearing this, Iris pinched Rex's shoulder.

He didn't need to turn to her to know that she was urging him to say no.

"I appreciate your kindness but there was no need, we could join the queue," Rex replied.

But the Tabaxi guard wasn't going to let go, "Please... I insist"

Despite Iris' advice to decline this offer, Rex couldn't refuse the Tabaxi guard's offer.

He was being pressed and if he declined, that would make him more suspicious.

"If that's the case, I'll be in your care," Rex replied, offering a faint smile.

Upon saying that, Rex mounted on the black panther and followed the Tabaxi guard.

"Your Majesty, you do realize that he's suspicious of us, right?" Iris asked from behind. Read exclusive adventures at empire

"Yes," Rex nodded his head, he also sensed it. "but this could be our chance to learn more"

Just seconds ago, Rex could tell that the Tabaxi guard changed instantly, when he said that he would keep in mind to tell the other beast tamer about this task. He said it wrong, saying that basically implies that he really knew a beast tamer.

Someone who knew a beast tamer could only be someone from an uncommon background.

However, it wasn't all bad.

Rex could use this to his advantage if he played it right.

In order to learn about the rulers well, I need to speak with someone with a high position.

Going around to see and take in the people as well as the inside of the castle would give him an insight about the rulers—but it would not give him explicit information needed to confront Serevia and Serevan.

Meeting with a high-ranking Tabaxi, on the other hand, was way better.

He would definitely obtain more useful information from them.

Rex and Iris were escorted to the castle entrance, passing the other Supernaturals who were queuing to enter. A lot of them cast an unfriendly gaze, jealous that they were allowed inside, without needing to wait for their turn.

Along the way, Rex could pick up a concentration of energy in the distance.

It appeared out of nowhere, and the familiarity of the energy made him uneasy.

"What's going on over there?" Rex asked, trying to dig for more information.

Upon hearing this—the Tabaxi guard turned to the direction Rex was talking about before he replied, "It's the Angels, they have been dealing with the nearest Order Beast, and the horde of mutated animals that were set to hit us tomorrow"

Almost instantly, Rex and Iris exchanged a complicated look.

Just as expected and feared, the Angels had made contact with the Zahara Consortium.

And since they were sending some of them to deal with the surroundings—it was safe to say that the Angels also had already made a deal. Rex didn't know exactly what the deal was but he was quite sure that it was in exchange for having access to the Saltura Bridge.

Shit, what are the Demons doing? How can they be this reckless?

Other than the Saltura Bridge, the Angels couldn't cross over the massive crack.

Going around it would make them confront the Demons head on so this was their only way.

But the Demons were too busy battling that they forgot about this strategic point.

Reaching the main gate, the Tabaxi guard signaled to the other guards to open the gate.

All of the Supernaturals inside the translucent path were looking at them, from the side, they were quite shocked to see Rex—and Iris outside. Unlike the other Supernaturals way behind, the ones near the gate weren't shocked because they were being escorted directly.

Instead, their shock came from something else.

Rex could tell that but he didn't know what these Supernaturals were shocked about.

As they waited, Iris frowned and tugged Rex's clothes.

"It's getting heavier here" She whispered.

"Yes," Rex nodded as he also thought of the same thing. "I can feel it too"

Compared to when they were on the rock formations earlier, the gravity here was deadly.

Around ten times the normal pressure which was capable of making the weary.

Glancing over to the cliff below Saltura Bridge ahead that stretched endlessly, Rex used the System's scanning feature again to answer the questions looming, inside his mind. And as it turns out, the Gravitational Rift played a huge part here.

Unlike the areas Rex had encountered, the Gravitational Rift here was exposed.

It seemed it was at the base of the cliff—causing this violent gravitational phenomenon.

Knowing that—the answer to the question that bothered Rex the most became clear.

Everyone said that the Saltura Bridge was the only path to cross over from the other side to this side, but he didn't understand what stopped other Supernatural races—from flying over the cliff.

Angels have wings, they could easily fly instead of going through the Saltura Bridge.

Now he realized that they simply couldn't.

Due to the Gravitational Rift at the base of the cliff, they would be pulled down hard.

Naturally, as they were pulled down, the gravity became stronger, the closer they became to the Gravitational Rift. Not even ninth-rank realm could survive the fall—they would be turned into mush upon impact.

Soon enough, Rex was escorted into a towering building.

Both of them entered and were escorted to the fifth floor which was some sort of an office.

A male Tabaxi in a regal robe sat there, counting gleaming elemental stones.

Signaling for Rex and Iris to wait for a moment, the guard went over to the male Tabaxi.

He leaned in to whisper something before turning around and leaving the room.

Rex and Iris watched as the door was closed before focusing back on the male Tabaxi.

"My name is Kazzir—and I am the commander tasked on duty here," the male Tabaxi, Kazzir introduced with a nonchalant tone. "I'm above everyone you see along the way, only answer to Master Serevan and Mistress Serevia"

Upon hearing this, Rex frowned, "Commander? I think there has been a mistake"

Just as he said that Kazzir put down the elemental stones and turned to look at Rex.

He finally made eye contact for the first time since they entered.

"No, I'm afraid there's no mistake," Kazzir replied in monotone. "So, which brand of forces did you two come from?"
