Dean, who seems to be starting to understand something, tries to touch the watch that is still in Mrs. Palmer’s hand, and indeed the watch seems to only be active if spirit energy is applied to it. When Dean is no longer touching the watch, none of the numbers on the watch is glowing. “Could it be that this watch was meant for you?” mumbles Mrs. Palmer. “I don’t think so,” Dean denies. “But…” “It’s powered by spirit energy,” Dean continues. “Spirit energy?” “It’s something everyone has inside them, but not everyone can pull it out,” says Dean before he shows his Dagger of Apathy to Mrs. Palmer. “I’m able to draw it out and channel it to an object. However, I believe I’m not the only one who can do this.” Mrs. Palmer hands the watch back to Dean, but now it’s the number 9 which is glowing. It reminds Dean about Mrs. Palmer’s words that the watch was actually a compass. Dean observes it carefully by moving it here and there, and the glowing number is shifting from 9 to 10 and th

Well, there is still a few seconds before the grenade explodes after the safety pin is released. Dean catches it, and then throws it away.Blarr!!!It explodes in the air, just a few meters away from them. That woman received burn damage on her left face. Her mask has torn apart, as well as some parts of her tactical uniform, which are damaged by the heat released by that explosion.However, Dean still looks so fine, being protected by his thick spirit energy shield. There’s no visible injury on him.“I just closed the distance of a few hundred meters in a few seconds. And you think I wouldn’t be able to react to your sneaky attack?”He notices the woman is shaking due to the pain, so he simply releases her. That woman rushes to get away, and then pulls another grenade. But she immediately falls to her knees as she turns back to Dean.She still holds the grenade, looking so shocked to find Dean completely unharmed by that explosion. Now she doubts if the one grenade in her hand will m

It takes time for a change. For now, the issue regarding these hipfisaxus is handled directly by the prime minister, no longer delegating it to the ministry of national security. “To ensure the safety of the people of Dildior, I will send 2 groups of guardians from Medreisten to help the professional guardians here,” says Howard Mckenzie at the end of the talk show. “We won’t let these monsters threaten the lives of our people. We will hunt them all, without leaving anything.” ​ The Nightshapers guild from Mestral province and the Hummingbane guild from Alfreidor province also send their representatives, one group each consisting of 4 guardians. After all, these two provinces neighbored Dildior. They share the same border area on the north, which is the wide dense forest bordering Yegristan, which is suspected to be the nest of these monsters. Meanwhile, The League of Hidden Blood deploys at least 4 groups of professional guardians with one senior A-rank supervisor, 17 guardians

“You punk! You better watch your mouth when talking to my captain,” says the burly Bobby Baker. His skin literally turns red, seeming to show off one of his unique traits by accident due to his uncontrollable anger.“Shut the fuck off!” Mary refutes coldly with a low intimidating voice. “There’s only one captain in this team, which is me!”Marley immediately halts the man, “Hold on, Bob! It’s okay.” She then turns back to Mary stating her conditions. “We will join you, but don’t expect us to protect your witchdoctors, or any of you. We were sent here to hunt the demons, not to babysit you kids.”“Hell no! If you want to join this group, you do as I say! If you disobey me and put my team in danger, I’m going to burn your ugly face until your mom can’t recognize you! You hear me?”Prof. Nicholson and Laura are a bit startled by Mary’s sudden change. They had never found Mary losing her temper like this while showing her dominance to other people.However, they quite understand that this

Mary begins to consider her options, observing all those guardians one by one. She doesn’t really know all of their capabilities, except for a few of them whom she has learned so far.At least, she has confidence in Dean's ability to deal with half of the demons by himself. The rest, she just needs a few extra members to help him, and ensures that no one will die on this mission.“Okay, we will split in two,” says Mary. “The raid team and the back-up team. Dean, you take the lead of the raid team. Sara, Daniela, Devon, Julius Vargas, and Rayne Clay, these five people will go with you.”“Just six of them?” One of the soldiers asks, doubting Mary’s decision.“No, but I want you to take 5 of your men to come along,” says Mary to the soldiers. “But your focus is only to make sure these five people have their way out in case some problem arises.”“Aren’t you taking 28 hipfisaxus too lightly?” Marley voices her concern. ​“There are 16 guardians in this group. At least, you can take two of u
