Dean picks the ball, makes a fast dribble, and then makes a jump even before reaching the free throw line, flying so high intending to make a one-handed dunk.

He even jumps across the pathetic Theo, and then slams the ring as hard as he might.

Bang!!!

Crash!

It makes the loudest dunk in history, and breaks the tampered glass of the ring backboard. Everyone’s jaws are dropping. Even Dean himself is shocked with what he just did.

“Shit! I overdid it!”

But Theo, he is still looking down in desperation with a blank mind. And Dean just stares down at him flatly.

“I don’t have any interest in seeing you running naked. But if you are a man, you shouldn’t take back your words,” Dean reprimands him about the condition of that game.

Dean feels bad for destroying the backboard. But no one dares to blame him, because he broke it in a clean play.

He walks out of that basketball court, and finds Mary standing at the exit door.

“Don’t you realize it yet? Basketball is not for you,” says Mary with a

    Mary feels a bit doubtful to visit Mrs. Palmer. She doesn’t want to expose her identity as a witch in front of Albert Lawson. But she can’t simply cancel her intention. “Hey, Dean!” Mary halts him. “Whatever happens, never tell anyone about what you did yesterday.” “What I did yesterday?” mumbles Dean in a bit confused. “About how you cured Mrs. Palmer’s mental illness, just keep acting ignorant, you hear me?” “Oh, okay!” When Albert Lawson sees Mrs. Palmer being busy with the maids in the kitchen, he looks quite shocked by it. “Uh, honey! Your mom?” mumbles Albert as he is welcomed by his wife. “Yes! She is getting better now.” “Since when?” “Yesterday! Thanks to Dean, he… Oh, that’s him. How are you doing Dean? Mary?” “Hi, Mrs. Lawson! How is your mom?” asks Mary as a greeting. “There, she is in the kitchen right now.” Mary takes a look at the kitchen from afar, and there she notices Mrs. Palmer. And it seems like Mrs. Palmer is a bit displeased, and it’s clearly written

    Albert Lawson looks baffled by Jay’s words. “Jay! What was that?” “Well, he came to me before, saying that I’m not worthy to be with Monica,” explains Jay. “Dean?” Albert averts his attention to Dean. “Why would you say that? Don’t you know that he is the son of the Mayor of Dildior city?” “Who knows?” Jay rebukes by raising his shoulders a bit. “I thought he was only jealous. But it seems like he no longer cares about that after getting a girlfriend for himself.” Dean can’t stand it, and just fastens his step to leave that house. Mary gives them an awkward smile, and leaves. Monica immediately gets up and leaves them with a sullen face. And Jay, he chuckles with an amused face. Surely, he doesn’t care at all why she is acting like that. Dean looks impatient to enter Mary’s car. Mary uses the keys to unlock it remotely, only then is Dean able to open the door. “Who was that annoying guy?” asks Mary as she starts the car. “He is Monica’s boyfriend. It was Monica’s step father wh

    Mary doesn’t want to be so pushy, so she decides to wait. But then, when it’s already past 10 am, she loses her patience, and makes a call.Fortunately, Dean is currently having a rest, so she doesn’t have to wait for too long to get an answer.“Hi, Mary! What is it?” asks Dean naively.[What is it my ass! Why didn’t you call me? If you really don’t want to go out with me today, at least send me a message!]Dean immediately takes his phone away from his ear.“Hold on, hold on, hold on! It’s not like I don’t want to go with you. But, I have a training session with the basketball team right now. I just got invited yesterday soon after you left me.”[You could have told me, you jerk. I’m going to pick you! You better get prepared before I get there, you hear me!]“Eh, wait!”Actually, the training with the basketball team will be held until the late afternoon. But Mary actually picks Dean up at Braham University, just before midday.Her arrival becomes a sensation, because Mary comes dre

    Sara immediately rushes away. Meanwhile, Daniela and Dean still look panicked.And Mary, right now she's holding a water hose. Her eyes are closed, and her mouth is mumbling, seeming to chant a spell.***Qesol cepfe fo akaeph cevaephEoi neomoi kevaej fo mecaejQedol mej nefu fovephhaeph apvaephMeqij mej eoi kolul meo penaej***Dean's face wrinkles at the strange language Mary is pronouncing. But he is a little curious about what strange things she is going to do.Mary then opens her eyes and sprays water from the hose at the bulldog which is currently going crazy.“Oi, oi! You'll only make the dog even angrier!” utters Dean.“Shut up!”Of course the dog looks very uncomfortable being sprayed with water. It's not that it hates water. But at this time, its body is boiling as if it has been exposed to acid.“I hope I still have time to stop its transformation,” mumbles Mary full of hope.“What transformation are you talking about?” asks Dean.“Spectres don’t usually possess animals,

    Crasssh!!!Blood and flesh scattered on the ground, as the monster forcibly pulls its head free from the arrow that sticks its head on the tree.As the monster breaks free and falls, Dean also breaks free from the branch, and hits his head on the ground.“Aw, that hurts! I need to get away.”And then, he notices the monster is already badly injured. The monster finds it hard just to get back up, with blood still flooding out from its neck and back.“Dean! Take this!”Dean averts his attention, and notices Mary throwing a weapon at him. It’s just a 1 m long metal stick.Dean picks the weapon, and slams it on the monster’s head as hard as he might. He destroys the monster’s head after slamming it a few times.Dean’s face has already been red by the blood. But he still crushes that monster’s head over and over.“Hey, that’s enough!” Mary holds him.Finally, they kill that demon, and Dean feels a bit pity, thinking about how cute that bulldog was in the first place.“Oh, no! I’ve killed a

    Sara picks her arrow back. It’s an arrow made of metal, and Dean notices that she is carrying a bow gun at her back.He is sure that Sara was the one who has saved him, twice without missing her target, at two critical moments.All this time, Dean considered the girl to be a nerd. But now she looks more like a professional hunter in his eyes.“By the way, Sara, thank you for saving my life,” says Dean approaching the girl.“Don’t mention it,” replies Sara with her naïve smile, as she wipes that metal arrow with a piece of cloth. “I believe you would do the same if you were in my position.”Again, Dean finds her innocent smiles. However, he immediately convinces himself not to be fooled by that innocent look.“Damn! Looks like I need to apologize to Mr. Hensley for killing his beloved dog,” utters Mary as she walks away from that place.Dean sees those three walk away nonchalantly, as if the thing that has happened was just a trivial matter for them. It’s only Dean alone who is still f

    Theo picks a ball, and starts doing practice by himself. His jump shot is okay, the movement is good. When he tries several kinds of dunk, he still looks convinced and superior. Nothing is wrong with his form when he trains alone. But then, when they start another training match, Theo looks indecisive every time he receives a pass in the high post area. The ring is so close to him. Instead of using his brute strength to just slam that ball to the ring, his mind is busy worrying about the people around him. “Hey, Theo! You are taking too long, man! Give back that ball,” asks Gideon from outside the three-point line. Even in responding to Gideon’s words, he still looks indecisive and so unsure. When he does, his opponent can read it. The ball is easily intercepted, and it leads to a turn over. “God, damn it!” Gideon grumbles, as he has to get back to defense after losing that ball. The opponent makes a basket. Gideon picks the ball, and then slams it so hard at Theo. “What the fuc

    Dean feels so embarrassed, and then turns away. But Mary looks so annoyed. One of her hands holds Dean, preventing him from leaving. Her other hand slaps the table right in front of that bank teller lady. “If money that you are asking, I’ll come in a minute!” She then turns away, leaving Dean with his clueless face. “Dean, stay there for a while.” The bank teller seems baffled, not knowing what Mary is going to do. But she can’t simply wait, telling Dean to move away, and invites the other customer to come forward. Mary goes to her car, looks for a plastic bag on the rear trunk of the car, and then heads to the ATM in front of that bank office. She checks on her balance, and finds that she still has more than 80 million Estol. It’s not clear what’s inside her mind, but she simply withdraws all the money in her account. But sadly, that ATM doesn’t have enough cash stock inside that machine. She can only withdraw around 18 million Estol, all in 50,000 denominations. She then contin

    Even until the next few weeks, the situation in most places in The Democratic State of Yegristan, is still in chaos. Some of the vampires feel so relieved after finding out that they no longer have to drink human blood.But some of them are upset about losing their immortality. And their numbers are much greater, who are now venting their frustration and anger by causing chaos in society.But there are also some of them who do not realize what is happening, recklessly carrying out vandalizing, lootings and robberies, but later ultimately shot dead by the police.The current president is actually a half-blood from the Almas tribe, and he is still affiliated with the rulers of Estuaria.Instead of calming the chaos in his country, he is now in Medreisten, attending a meeting, which is also attended by representatives from two other kingdoms, Aflar and Ustobia.Even after Valery's death, these three countries are still under the influence of the Estuaria government, which is now under Sam

    All the zombies in the forest, the dead vampires, Zulfik, and Harley, are now silent, swaying gently with blank faces.They stay like that, at least until all the specters within their bodies come out, and scatter in all directions. And instantly, all these lifeless bodies collapse.All the Manes in this forest are also getting out, seeming to be uncomfortable with the condition of the woods which have been covered in ice.They are interested in the stability in the area around Nimeza's core. The appearance of these Manes later catches Dean's attention.“I can't let them get near that stone.”Dean rushes over to the jet black stone, which is currently still in Valery's hand. Somehow, Valery’s hands are now slowly petrifying.This is what happens to people who lost their drive to live due to the effects of Nimeza's core, just like all the six previous kings of Yegristan who failed in inheriting that stone.Not only does he die, but every organ, cell and molecule in Valery’s body have b

    Dean glances around to examine his situation. Suddenly, Namsqeem comes out of the soul shard which Dean keeps under his long blazer.“What is this? Why I feel so heavy?” asks Namsqeem.Dean doesn’t say a word. But at least, he looks so relieved knowing that the situation in Belestia Hill must have been secured.“These undead?” mumbles Namsqeem, seeming so familiar with Valery’s way of thinking. “He is going to use them to give him some space to cast his spells.”“I know,” Dean affirms. “Why don’t you deal with them, so I can handle that man?”Namsqeem makes his move. His sudden appearance has ruined all Valery’s plan. Now Valery needs to find another way to deal with Dean.But suddenly, he sees the arrival of so many missiles in the sky, coming from the east. They look so fast, because time passes with a different flow between inside the dome and outside it.All the missiles explode without being able to penetrate the dome. Yet, Valery still looks so upset, and Dean notices his sour f

    Blood spurts from his mouth as his back hits the rocky cliff, where he gets stuck in the cracks caused by the impact.The crack then collapses, and he falls along with those rocks into a fairly large river below.A few moments later, Dean emerges from the river, floating to the edge, before he lands on the river bank, and immediately kneels down while coughing.“That was dangerous,” he mutters.His body releases thick haze, not just the steam of evaporating water from his soaked long blazer, but also the effects of his regeneration skill healing his wounds.There Dean realizes that his self-healing ability is much faster than usual. But still, that is no reason for him to feel safe.This regeneration won’t be able to raise him from death if one lethal attack kills him. Not to mention about the situation in Belestia Hill which he has been worrying about.“I can't be careless now. I have to end this as soon as possible.”Soon, he notices the emergence of fires in the forest. Even though

    Zulfik's headless body is still floating while flapping his wings, as is Harley's headless body in his mechanical suit.Both of them are still alive and still able to control their bodies, at least until Valery pulls out the curse of immortality he once placed on them.Two blobs of bituminous liquid come out of Harley and Zulfik's bodies, before evaporating in the air. Only after that, the two headless bodies fall down as lifeless corpses.Apparently, these betrayals have disappointed Valery so much that he no longer wants to trust anyone.“I know you loved sacrificing your pawns to achieve your goals. But why?”Dean asks coldly, speaking in Nimeza language, and it’s effective to draw Valery’s interest.“Why you killed them now when you should be able to use them? Is this how you are going to create peace in the world?”To find Dean so fluent talking in that language, even with the native accent of ancient Zalfari people, Valery replies to him also in Nimeza language.“I don’t need the

    Despite his indifferent attitude, believe me, he is really in a precarious condition right now.This is one of the side effects of Nimeza's core on him, which makes him always at peace, completely indifferent to life and death.One of the negative effects is that he has not been taking his fight seriously, which ultimately leads to his current situation.The only thing now which makes him think seriously about his fate is because of the safety of his wife and kid.But on the good side, he can still think calmly despite his situation, taking his time amidst the clouds, as if relaxing on a soft mattress.“Okaay, why don't I try to dig up a little of the memories of those old men?”He closes his eyes, trying to remember, as if what the four ancient apparitions had experienced in the past is his own experience.Unfortunately, they’d never been in a condition like this, and there is not the slightest memory where they had a technique which allowed them to fly.Until then…“Let's try the th

    That’s the message given by Valery. And Antonin knows so well how important this warning is. That’s why he only tries to waste time, with so much alertness, without any intention to get close to Dean.He swings the two weapons from a distance, and again releases many ethereal weapons in all directions.These ethereal weapons linger around for a few minutes, spinning and floating randomly around Antonin, like satellites orbiting a planet.“What is he thinking? Is he going to attack me or not?”The movement of those ethereal weapons makes Dean a little confused, because they look more like protection instead of an offensive technique.But then, the ethereal weapons orbiting on the outermost side are getting further away from Antonin. Even though they are still circling around Antonin, they are starting to head towards Dean in their orbits.Dean steps away to avoid it, and then some of the ethereal weapons disappear into the thin air. Even so, Antonin still continues to swing his gryphon

    After such a shocking surprise attack, which has destroyed the military ranks complete with their tanks and trucks, the situation suddenly becomes so quiet.Only the sound of moans of pain can be heard, accompanied by the sound of flames shooting out from the burning oil tanks of several trucks.And there is a man in a black long blazer, with most of his head wrapped in a cloth, standing in the middle of the chaos.“Go back to your homes!” he exclaims in a loud voice. “This is the final warning. You will not get anything good even if you win this war. It doesn't mean there will be a chance for you to win it. If you leave now, I’ll guarantee your safety from my wrath.”His voice is so loud, as if he is speaking with a megaphone. It even reaches the ears of a few soldiers in a tank more than 50 meters away.“Who is this guy?”“Who cares? Let’s see if he still can say a word after eating this one!”Soon, the tank open fires, shooting one HEAT (High Explosive Anti-tank) projectile, which

    Valery can clearly feel her strong presence, but he is still in the state of confusion at the moment. After all, the last time he met Zamira was already more than two thousand years ago.He just assumes this strong presence is just one of the high-skilled Defteros taking part in the battle in Hullback Town.Until then, one of his pawns, an ancient specter named Shaheen, comes to him to informs about something.“Master! I just felt the present of Namsqeem in Belestia Hill,” he says.“Namsqeem?” Valery mutters curiously, feeling quite familiar with the name.“It’s Cresta’s lovely pet,” Shaheen informs.“Oh, that little one,” Valery sneers.“I don’t think you can call him that way now,” Shaheen reprimands. “It’s been two thousand years already. And there’s another strong spirit creature with him at moment. I’m not so sure if he is a specter or a mane. But there’s something strange with his form. It’s similar to what Cresta did to Namsqeem in the past.”Valery's facial expressions change.
