The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 1267 Female Alpha vs Zeta (1)

Cutting through the horde of Werewolves was quite a daunting task for the pack.

It grew increasingly hard as the pack neared the duel grounds, where the opposing pack was waiting for them, patiently. Every attacking Werewolf became motivated the closer they were to the duel grounds, their attacks becoming fierce and frantic.

Even the packs that were coming for them were stronger than the packs that attacked first.

As if that was not enough, the terrain had another obstacle coming their way.

It abruptly shifts into an ascending slope, slowing their sprint.

Roar!

Adhara knocked two Werewolves that were leaping at her aside, giving them to the flanks.

Seeing this, Flunra and Kyran dispatched them with their own style.

Flunra opted for a swift slash to the neck—and also a stab to the heart while Kyran froze the Werewolf solid and shattered it with a punch, exploding tiny shards everywhere. In about ten minutes of fighting, they were wounded, their scars steaming as they regenerated.

Despite the regeneration draining their stamina, it couldn't be helped.

No matter how careful and efficient they were, the Werewolves were also as quick-witted.

Suddenly, an Alpha burst from behind a tree on the right.

Its predatory red eyes glistened with ferocious tendency, as it cut through, the middle of the formation and slashed Adhara's legs, forcing a pained grunt out of her lips. It came and went in an instant, disappearing into the trees once again.

Before the others could react, it already vanished.

"Tch! I'm sorry, Adhara, it struck when I was occupied" Kyran apologized, clicking his tongue.

He sensed that Alpha but he was dealing with a Werewolf so he failed to react in time.

Gritting her teeth, hissing at the burn of foreign moonlight energy, empowered by the Honey Moon—Adhara shook her head and continued to lead the pack, "The amount of Werewolves attacking us lessened, it seemed we are near" She declared.

Just as she said, the pack eventually reached the end of the road and stopped.

At the end of the steep slope was a sudden ten-meter drop that led to a flat expanse of land, where an almost imperceptible layer of water—barely wetted the ground. Beyond the watery plain, a small mound of earth rose like a dwarf mountain with the Honey Moon, gleaming with its brilliance right behind it.

Its moonlight covered the entire place, tainting the area with a yellowish hue.

Kyran glanced back and saw no Werewolves to be seen.

Even his senses couldn't pick up anyone behind, only the littered corpses of their doings.

"Seems like this is the place, the Werewolves retreated" Kyran announced.

Upon hearing this, Flunra spat blood to the side before he crossed his arms, his gaze fixed ahead, "I'm surprised the Alpha Prime didn't make a move on us. It came leading the horde but did nothing to help"

"It's expecting Rex to come so it didn't attack us" Adhara replied with conviction.

Surely, the Alpha Prime was there if Rex came with them.

Having the horde of Werewolves attack the Silverstar Pack, when there was him would be a complete massacre—and it was there to prevent that from happening alongside a couple of other Alpha Primes, presumably.

Now that they were in the clear, Kyran gazed ahead and saw the same scenery.

It was quite surprising but the Silverstar Pack managed to stay in their Human forms.

A success in Adhara's eyes as the enemy gained nothing from them.

"So this is where we would fight?" Kyran mused, inspecting the area.

Adhara nodded her head before she pointed ahead, at the mound of earth in the distance.

Focusing on that body of earth, they noticed a couple of figures were there.

But not Riona.

Despite the overwhelming force—crashing down on them, Riona held Adhara's gaze without breaking. The Honey Moon King Mark on her forehead, glowed with a radiant light, shielding her from the Anti-Werewolf's power.

She stood firm at the very top, her eyes locked with Adhara's.

Realizing that Riona was able to protect herself from the Anti-Werewolf's oppression, Adhara did not continue as her eyes returned to their normal state, her power receding as a knowing smile stretched across her lips, "Let me guess, you must be the one who is going to fight me—Riona"

"And you must be the Female Alpha, Adhara," Riona replied before leaping down.

Averting her eyes to the back, she asked, "I don't see your Alpha, is he not here to babysit?"

"Same goes for you, is she being locked up in a basement somewhere?" Adhara refuted.

Despite the friendly banter, the tension was thick in the air.

Both were playing with words while simultaneously trying to hide their murderous intent.

Riona chuckled, and in a condescending way, looked Adhara up and down. She towered over Adhara in Human form—and that made this gesture more condescending, "I've heard of your name but I wonder why I can not seem to hear about your feats. Now that you're here, I think I know why..."

Upon saying that, Riona looked back and laughed in hubris.

She was mocking Adhara blatantly.

Even though the others wanted to rip Riona to shreds, they allowed Adhara to handle this.

Bending down to lean closer to Adhara, Riona smirked, "I can hear your heart beating so fast inside your chest and your blood flow is unnatural. No need to put on an act, this is your first time leading the pack without the Alpha, isn't it?"

Just like an open book, Riona was able to read through Adhara's stoic expression.

It was really her first time in this kind of scenario.

Leading the others in the name of the pack, Adhara had never done this before.

Despite the nervousness, that could be seen through—she raised her gaze, meeting Riona's gaze, and asked, "Aren't you in the same position yourself?" Adhara smirked, her malevolent eyes gleamed. "You talk about feats so you must know about him, don't you? You must have heard my Alpha's feats. Your heart rate is fine, your blood flow is also fine but my eyes could see what others could not..."

Adhara didn't crumble under pressure, she was nervous but was composed in her mind.

She could see Riona's emotional aura of pale fear.

Naturally, the atrocities Rex had done to his opponents scare her.

Killing a member of the Silverstar Pack would subject Riona to his evil, and that scares her.

Upon hearing this, Riona's eyes squinted.

She didn't know how Adhara could see through that through her mask.

"My feats may not reach you as I'm not one who likes to boast but I didn't even lift a finger and your pack members are already like that," Adhara replied—nudging her chin to Riona's back, gesturing for her to look behind.

Glancing over her shoulder, Riona saw the others were still healing from the earlier surge.

Under the Anti-Werewolf's influence, their regenerative ability is weakened.

"My feats may not rival yours, earned over centuries—but by standing here today, I've proven I don't need my past to speak for me," Adhara said, her tone laced, with sarcasm. "I've shown why I am the Female Alpha. But you—what do you have to offer? Nothing about you, seemed to be unique"

A challenge, Adhara was challenging Riona straight to her face.

Even the others, Kyran, Flunra, and Gistella were surprised when they heard what she said.

'Wouldn't she attack us if she phrased the challenge like that...?' Flunra thought wryly.

Riona's expression turned ashen at Adhara's words—the challenge cutting deep, and placing her reputation on the line in front of her packmates and even daughter. Adhara had managed to wound them all with just a simple attack, and Riona knew she had to respond equally.

Clenching her fist, she let her kingly energy spiral fiercely within her arm.

Exhaling a low grunt, she made her move which stimulated a reaction from even Adhara.

CRACK!
