The Invincible Full-Moon System
Chapter 1220: A Shaman's Connection

Considering the amount of people gathered in front of the house, Qonvale's sickness must've been bad. She was an important member of the Dark Elf Kingdom—it was not that surprising, to see this many people gathered here to see her condition.

She was the Shaman of Dark Nature, the only one at that in the entire kingdom.

Evelyn was about to visit at another time, but before she could answer, a scream was heard.

It came from the inside, and no doubt that it came from Qonvale herself.

Upon hearing what she was screaming—Evelyn gave the Dark Elf a side eye, with one of her brows raised, "I thought you said Madam Qonvale was sick, that doesn't sound sick to me. Is there a particular reason for you to lie to me...?"

Caught red-handed, the Dark Elf knelt down immediately, and so did the others.

From Kyran's warning earlier, they can't afford another mistake.

"Please forgive this lowly one, Your Majesty," the Dark Elf apologized, her entire form shaking uncontrollably out of fear. "In truth, Madam Qonvale has been in a disoriented state. She kept screaming that we were all going to die—and I thought I should not let Your Majesty meet her in case she overstepped"

Evelyn sighed when she heard this, but she understood where the Dark Elf was coming from.

'Did Kyran need to go this hard? All of them are traumatized,' She pondered.

Nevertheless, it was her responsibility to make sure to calm the tension in this kingdom.

"I am not as boring as Lord Kyran who resorts to violence, as easily as raising a hand," Evelyn said, bending down and holding the Dark Elf's shoulder assuringly. "I believe there is a way to exact punishment without violence, that is as long as the other side admitted their wrong. So there's no need to fear me, I'm here to help"

For a moment there, the Dark Elf stared at Evelyn's violet eyes in a trance.

She was relieved that the Empress was not like Kyran.

"Yes, my gratitude is all yours, Your Majesty," the Dark Elf stood up with the help of Evelyn.

As the matter was settled, Evelyn nudged towards the door, "Bring me to her,"

Nodding in understanding, the Dark Elf opened the door lightly—and revealed a dim-lit room that was quite messy with broken remnants scattered on the wooden ground. Evelyn looked around with a frown and stepped inside, 'She was fine not too long ago, what happened...?'

Following the Dark Elf's lead, Evelyn reached the main room and saw Qonvale there.

Qonvale lay prostrate on the ground, her body trembling with uncontrollable sobs.

Both of her hands clutched her head tightly, fingers digging into her scalp as if trying to ward off, some unseen tormentor. Completely shattered, tears streamed down her face in torrents, her cries raw and unrestrained.

It was surprising to see Qonvale in her condition when she always looked dignified.

Such a sight even made Evelyn feel disturbed.

Upon sensing that someone had entered the room—Qonvale looked up before her eyes lit up at the sight of Evelyn. A troubled expression instantly assaulted the Dark Elf's face when she stared at Evelyn starry like that.

However, soon, Qonvale crawled like a lizard and hugged Evelyn's leg with tears in her eyes.

"Lady Evelyn, Lady Evelyn!" She said in a hushed tone, tightening her grip on Evelyn's leg, "It is the end of the world! Please, tell Lord Rex to save us! No...he might not be able to save us. No... we're doomed! We're all going to die!"

Just as the Dark Elf expected, Qonvale stepped over the line.

Quickly, she stepped forward and tried to make Qonvale let go of Evelyn's leg, "Let go!"

"How dare you address the Empress as 'lady'!" the Dark Elf exclaimed—knowing exactly that this would happen as she struggled to make Qonvale release her grip. "Madam Qonvale, you must always maintain respect, no matter the circumstance! Now, let go!" She shot Evelyn, an apologetic look. "Your Majesty, this is not the right time, Madan Qonvale has gone insane"

On the other hand, Evelyn frowned when she heard what Qonvale was saying.

'She's blind. But her eyes, there's fear in them almost as if she saw something,' She thought.

Evelyn signaled to the Dark Elf to stop with her hand, before she gently, caressed Qonvale's head trying to calm her down, "It's okay, there's no need to fear anything as long as I'm here—Tell me, what did you see?"

Instead of answering, Qonvale began to cry once again.

Knowing that something was up, and it was not that Qonvale had gone insane—Evelyn knelt down and pulled Qonvale into her embrace. Meanwhile—the Dark Elf observed this from the side before she snapped out of her daze as Evelyn glanced at her, "Leave us"

Despite still feeling troubled, the Dark Elf obeyed and left the house as instructed.

Now, it was only Evelyn and Qonvale inside.

Upon the door being closed once again, Evelyn helped Qonvale go back to her room.

Gently helping Qonvale to lie down on the bed—she stood beside the bed in contemplation.

'I heard Shamans of the Werewolves, are somewhat connected to the moon, and could sense what the next full moon is or sense whether the full moon will appear or be delayed. If it's the same with Qonvale, then she is connected to nature,' Evelyn pondered, gazing at the sobbing Qonvale on the bed.

Something that she learned from the banter she had with Gistella back before the war.

And now, that knowledge might prove to be handy in this situation.

'If that's the case, then is there a calamity of nature approaching...?' Evelyn continued.

Considering that Qonvale might be able to sense it coming, as she was connected to nature, a possibility that Evelyn couldn't ignore. But as she contemplated—her ears perked up when she heard Qonvale murmured something.

Leaning closer to Qonvale, Evelyn tried to hear what she was murmuring about.

Just then, her eyes widened as she listened to the words coming out of Qonvale's lips.

"Angels... the Angels are here..."

...

Several days later.

Rex wanted to finish his matters in the city as fast as he could, a day if it's possible.

But unfortunately, it was impossible to finish them in a day.

He had been dealing with matters of the city that arose because of the Second Breath non-stop, from the first sight of the sun until past midnight—and kept going. It was a lot as there were things that needed his approval.

Other than the matter of making the people stronger, there are also food shortages.

Even though it was easy to deal with as he could purchase plant seeds to cultivate from the System's shop, he still needed to teach them directly how to cultivate them. Not to mention, he also needs to clear the surrounding mutated animals.

Some of them have been creating a ruckus at the barrier and frightened the city guards.

Despite the barrier was intact, the constant banging took a mental toll on the people.

Rex needs to handle that.

Additionally, the fact that the forest has gotten way bigger is also a problem.

More grounds needed to be covered because of that.

Rex, Kyran, and Flunra each led a team to clear the mutated and cursed animals around—and it took them more than a day to finish what was supposed to be a simple task had it not been for the Second Breath.

On top of that, Rex also talked with Linthia and the governor about a new project.

A project to make a path or road towards the Chrono Hollow.

Since he remembered the snowy hills that hosted the Ferric Arbor Trees, having the effect of strengthening the bones if consumed regularly, he wanted to make them accessible food, for the people, and he was laying the groundwork now.

Outside the castle, Rex was standing at the bridge, looking at a newly built tower.

An extension of the castle, a tower with no accessible entrance.

"Kileena's Analyzer could only work, when it was placed at the highest point of the area, that is amongst other requirements," He mused inwardly, looking at the tower with a bright purple mechanical and magical construct at the very top.

In his hand was a chain, attached to a figure who was flying near the top of the tower.

Rex pulled on the chain, a signal for the figure to come down.

Naturally, this figure was none other than Mavenna who had recovered from her condition.

"I came here to not work..." She muttered as she landed in front of Rex lightly, but then in the next second, she exploded. "But you cruel devil—forced me to work for three days straight! I didn't even get a chance to rest! How could you do this to me!" She complained.

Despite the loud complaint, Rex only picks his ear leisurely, "Oh, I'm the devil now?"

"Isn't that a compliment? That means I'm your master, no?" He added playfully.

Upon hearing this, Mavenna puffed her cheeks and screamed, "No, you're not my master!"

"Is that so?" Rex raised an eyebrow with a sly grin.

He then proceeded to take off the Hell Hunter Collar from her neck, "Fine, you can go"

"Eh...?" Not expecting this kind of reaction, Mavenna stood stunned.

However, before she could react, an overwhelming hunger assaulted her entire senses.

As a Succubus, she thrived on life force, and now, it felt as if she hadn't fed in millennia, and the ravenous need gnawed at her extremely—making her body burn with feverish heat, and her limbs tremble with weakness.

Such agony was so intense she felt as though she might die.

And yet, a haunting sense told her it was an illusion, a torment designed to break her.

In an instinctive reflex—Mavenna crawled and scrambled to take the Hell Hunter Collar, and put it back on her neck, out of desperation. Only then that the overwhelming hunger fade— as if never appeared in the first place.

Looking at the Hell Hunter Collar, Mavenna widened her eyes, "W- What is this...?"

"A tenth-rank realm item called Hell Hunter Collar designed specifically for Demons. It would bind to the first Demon it was equipped onto and suppress its demonly needs. If the Demon ever escaped from the collar—then it would feel an excessive sense of demonly hunger that would result in agony and possibly, even death," Rex explained, clutching the chain tightly.

Upon hearing this, Mavenna paled as she couldn't believe Rex used that item on her.

"A-Are you going to turn me into a slave...?" She asked in horror.

Seeing the fear in Mavenna's eyes, Rex chuckled, as her fearful expression was quite cute to see, "Of course not—I'm not that evil since you helped me in the war. But I do not appreciate you taking advantage of my people, so this is how you repay me back. I need you to help me with one thing, and until then, you will be trapped in this collar"

"An assurance, because frankly speaking you're quite a naughty Succubus" He added.

Considering Mavenna liked to escape, Rex decided to do this.

I even used one Legendary-rank Item Ticket on her.

Not that Rex feared Mavenna escaping that much, that's not the reason.

He used a valuable item on Mavenna because that is how much he wanted Caraptaros.

And Mavenna could help him to weaken Caraptaros.

Glancing at Mavenna with a hidden intent in his eyes, Rex smiled inwardly.

Also, that Mind Melt Reverse Tattoo might also help her beg me to become a Werewolf.

On the other hand, listening to this—Mavenna could only cross her arms in annoyance as her heart was pounding inside. She was not expecting this situation, but the banter she had with Rex made her feel some type of way inside.

'Master...? Does he also want to become my master?' She pondered bashfully.

Mavenna turned away to cover her blush, 'A Rosadonna Succubus does need a master...'

Holding both of her warm cheeks with her hands, Mavenna bashfully dwells in her fantasy.

But Rex was oblivious to this as he looked at the notification in front of him.

<Installing Kileena's Analyzer: 37%/100%>

"I was supposed to go back to the Chrono Hollow days ago but I couldn't" Rex mused with a light sigh—yet he was going to do that right after installing Kileena's Analyzer in the city. "All of the assault team were training in the Force Ethos Academy right now—they must be more ready than before"

Nodding his head, he decided to wait for the installation to complete.

Just then, he looked at the far horizon.

Adhara told me through telepathy that she was with Calidora, but where were they, really?
