They may look brave, but to be honest, Julian felt more scared than he had ever felt before. All the way to the base Julian had thought things through. Should he harm Dravon? Weren't they the same age? No, he didn't. Despite their age, Dravon was a demon. While Julian was still enjoying his teenage years playing football and hanging out at the food court, Dravon had already destroyed a city and killed many lives in the process. Killing Julian's father and older sister. Killed Kieran's family. And now Dravon is in the town of Rainvale to commit the same atrocities, without anyone realising that underneath his normal teenage exterior, he's capable of doing just that. Julian is forced to do this for the good of the people of Rainvale. For the sake of his mother who is waiting at home.Meanwhile, at the moment Dravon doesn't even look scared even though Julian and the hunting party members surround him with various sharp weapons. It was as if they were all just a bunch of kids fighting wi
The forest felt much colder than it should have. Dead leaves flew as the strong wind blew. The drizzle returned. The thunder roared louder in the twilight sky."Do you know what your mistake is, Jules?" Dravon's voice sounded so cold to Julian. His jaw tightened."I don't care about your opinion," Julian replied. He aimed his gun at Dravon again, the man laughed and ran towards him. Julian panicked and pulled the trigger. But Dravon ducked and kicked sideways. Julian fell to the wet ground, coughing as his back hit a large root. Dravon easily took his gun, effortlessly removing the magazine. Bullets fell in front of Julian."I didn't intend to hurt you," Dravon said as he dropped the gun and discarded the useless item. "I want you to go back to that house and stay there overnight with your friends. Easy, right?"Julian struggled to get up. His scratched elbow stung in the wind. "Why should I stay there?" Julian asked. He realized he had lost. Meanwhile, at their headquarters, Jacob wa
Serena screamed so loud when Dravon swung his sword at Julian's back. Their friend was already kneeling, looking dying. Just seeing him made Kieran scared."Queen's bow and arrow," he whispered. A diamond bow immediately appeared in his hand. Kieran pulled an arrow and released it, aiming at Dravon. The man immediately dodged and looked at him angrily."You finally show up, Nyxshade," Dravon said. "I was almost dying of boredom chasing this little mouse in the forest."In front of him, Serena was already kneeling next to Julian. She was patting his cheeks to make him wake up. "Jules! Jules! Please, wake up!"Julian didn't answer and just slumped towards Serena. Kieran's jaw tightened. "Take him to the doctor!" Kieran requested."But what about you?" Serena replied."I'll be fine! Take him to the city now!" Kieran requested.Serena looked at him for a moment and then nodded firmly. "Promise me you'll be okay," Serena said as she helped Julian's body.Dravon tilted his head. "I feel sor
Serena had been speeding along the road from Umbravale City to Rainvale City. It was easy for her to do the same in Rainvale City. However, when she saw Julian losing a lot of blood and looking on the verge of death, even breathing was difficult for Serena."Jules, please stay conscious!" Serena shouted as Julian's head slumped to the side.He was still breathing but very slowly. "I..." Julian took a breath. "... am fine. But the members of the hunting group are not better."The news made Serena bite her lip. She was desperately holding back tears. "I'm truly sorry, Jules," she murmured. "If we could have arrived here sooner, you wouldn't have experienced—""Ssh," Julian raised his head again and stared blankly at the streets. "The important thing is that you're home now, Serena. I thought something happened to you in Umbravale City...""What?!" Serena blinked in confusion. They had now arrived in the city, and she was shocked to see the entire population of the city putting up lanter
Serena looked at the young man in front of her with confusion. They were both of the same age, but there was something about Oliver Sablecrest that was inhuman. There was a natural arrogance about him. As if the man thought he was a god."Believe me, I really want to talk to you. But I have to finish you off right away." After saying that, Oliver Sablecrest quickly changed into someone who grew tall and big, with muscles in his arms and stomach that were clearly visible under the uniform of the Valorthorn kingdom's general.If Serena had been afraid before, now she didn't know what she had previously called fear. Because Oliver made her more terrified than any insect in the world.Oliver drew his sword from the weapon belt at his waist. The object gleamed in the darkness of the night.Serena raised her crossbow and aimed at Oliver even though the distance between them was less than two meters. "Don't. Come closer." Serena threatened. "If you come closer, I'll make sure my arrow sticks
Elios couldn't imagine how scared he was when he heard the sound of gunshots at the house that matched the address on the letter. He immediately rushed and recklessly parked his car on the grassy yard of the house. Then he ran inside and saw that the house was not in disarray. However, there was a door open and protruding from the floor."If you surrender quietly, I won't harm your friend. What was his name again? Arlo. Yes. I won't hurt Arlo," a male voice with a Zyronox accent said, making Elios approach the door cautiously."Lunabelle! I told you to run!" A young boy's voice was heard from inside."I'll go with you," a little girl answered. Elios's heart seemed to stop beating hearing that voice. He couldn't remember the last time he heard his niece's voice. He sat on the doorstep and saw his niece for himself. The little girl looked chubby with neatly combed and braided pink hair. Not at all afraid to face the evil person who was after her and— "But let go of Arlo."—just as brave
One year ago.Applause echoed so joyously from every corner of the school hall. Kieran turned off the microphone he had just used to give a speech and a brief expression of gratitude, then stepped down from the podium and stage.He passed through the neatly arranged front row of seats, then climbed the stairs that led him to the balcony where he sat with his friends."I'm so proud of you, mate," whispered Billy as Kieran sat between him and Emma.The smile Kieran had been maintaining slowly faded. He loosened the tie that Emma had tied too tightly around his neck. "Thank you, Billy," Kieran replied wearily. He looked down at the gold-plated trophy in his hands, and was reminded once again that the original owner of the silver-plated trophy didn't show up today.Suddenly, Emma handed over a beautiful bouquet of colorful flowers. "This is a gift from Princess Seraphina. The headmistress asked me to give it to you directly," explained Emma.Kieran looked sadly at a piece of paper attache
Lana cradled Lunabelle Silverlake tightly and ran to a room in the house. She quickly laid Lunabelle on the bed and locked the door. Then she pulled the dressing table to block the door. Lana then went to the window and locked it tightly.After making sure the room was safe enough for them, Lana breathed a sigh of relief and joined Lunabelle. The little girl was still crying. A complicated type of crying, a combination of sadness, relief, and fear.Lana swallowed hard. She gently stroked Lunabelle's hair. The little girl was so beautiful, with her lovely pink hair. Just like Lady Silvanna's hair, although she always covered her hair with a thin veil."Hello, little princess," Lana greeted her softly. "I'm Lana. You might not know me, but I've been working at Silverlake House since before you were born."The fear in Lunabelle's expression slowly diminished. The little girl approached her and touched her face with her hand. Trying to remember Lana's face. "Lana?" Lunabelle murmured. "Wh
