2024-01-01 02:00:45There is a mountain range that stretches from the border of eastern Dildior to western Mestral Province. On the western side of these mountains, there is a protected forest covering an area of around 250 Ha, precisely in Helmfirth, southeast of Dildior Metropolis.
This place is famous for the ruins of ancient buildings, as well as the existence of an old burial site, Crown Hill Cemetery. People believe this is the family burial place of the kings of an ancient kingdom.
Despite its historical sites and beautiful views in the hilly area directly bordering Migrath Bay on the east side, not many people dare to visit this place.
Cases of visitors who become possessed, tourists got lost in the forest, as well as stories of ghost sightings and paranormal activities spice up the urban myth in this place. Not to mention its terrain, which is often covered in fog, makes the horror nuance of this place even

Ms. Lauren, the one who is going to evaluate Dean’s potential, tries to ignore Rylie’s antics, and welcomes Dean with a smile. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Morton?” Lauren greets politely, with left hand holding a wooden clipboard, and right hand ready with a pen. “Does your family have any specific magic skill or witchcraft?” she asks. “Excuse me?” Dean responds with an unsure face. “No, he doesn’t,” Mary gives an answer in Dean’s place. “Perhaps someone in your family was in the military?” asks Lauren again. Dean simply shakes his head once, looking so ignorant why that lady asks such a question to him. “A hunter? An assassin? A hit man? A shaman? A wizard? A witch doctor?” continues Lauren. Dean can only shake his head for each question. There Rylie interrupts again with their conversation. “Come on, Lauren! Don’t need to be so formal. I know that you already know the answer for that question just by a glance at his appearance,” she nags. “We never know that for sure. He could ha

Daniela can’t give anny answer, because she herself knows quite well about Prof. Nicholson's character. Rylie doesn’t wait for any clarity from her either, and immediately looks for Mary.“Hey, Mary!” Rylie calls as she catches up to her. “Are you really this desperate? You are going to tarnish the great name of Anthony Durham. You could just wait for one of those kids to grow, you know that? Damn, you even begged to Prof. Nicholson for…”“I never begged him,” Mary denies. “It was Prof. Nicholson himself who insisted for me to recruit Dean Morton.”“And you just accepted his idea? We both know he never likes you.”“I know. He never likes anyone,” Mary affirms.“Yet he told you to recruite that red-haired guy?”Mary just ig

Dean knows he can’t pull himself back now. So he also takes out his Grimoire’s Dagger of Apathy too, and lets that dagger drain his mana.The others look baffled by it, especially those teenagers who have been in this orphanage since they were still kids. For them, that dagger is just a kids’ toy.Gordon notices that little quarrel, and is currently observing them from the interior balcony of the second floor. He has been curious with Dean’s situation, and wants to see how far he can deal with James Parson.But sadly, Daniela comes back, and immediately pulls Dean away by grappling Dean's neck from behind.“Stupid! This is not the place for a fight! After all, you are already part of this guild, remember?”Rylie also warns James, even though she isn’t too serious in preventing him from having a fight with Dea
Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 076 - He Isn't Ready Yet
Currently, Jay Watson is accompanied by 5 bodyguards. Two of them are soldiers in Estuaria military uniforms. The other two are just big thugs. Meanwhile, one person looks like an ordinary man, wearing a neat black suit and sunglasses. Apart from them, there are also 8 Civil Service personnel. Meanwhile, there are so many local residents who witnessed the persecution. But no one dares to help that family. Not that they are afraid for the people guarding Jay. They simply fear Maverick Watson, the ruler of Dildior. This condition is a bit similar to the abuse that Dean had experienced in the past. Rather than stopping Jay, they instead persuade, or even force that family not to insist on keeping their mouths shut. “Anna! We know you did hide that girl in your house! Just tell them already where you hid her!” “There's absolutely nothing in it for you to protect an illegal immigrant.” “But I really don’t know! I never hide her in my house,” replies that woman in cry, interspersed wit

It’s already 11 in the night, but Starlight Street is still crowded by pedestrians like usual. All the street vendors are still busy with their twinkling lights.One of Jay’s bodyguards, the one with sunglasses named Johann Salazar, tells all those civil servants to get back to their headquarters. After those people take their trucks away, only then does the traffic in that street become normal.Jay himself is rushed to the nearest hospital, only about 5 minutes away by car. But on the way, they run into Mary, who is currently standing near her car with Dean.As if he doesn’t care about Jay's fate, the man named Johann stops the car, right next to Mary's car, and coldly calls Dean to come to him.“Hey, kid! Come over here!”Dean points his index finger to his face, deliberately putting on his naïve face.“Yes, you!” says Johann with an irritated tone.A few other cars honk at him, since his car has blocked the path of other vehicles. But that man doesn’t care at all, as if that street

Arriving at Monica's house, Dean gets out of the car and walks towards the house with slightly unsteady steps. Feeling worried about his condition, Mary accompanies him to the front door.But then, as soon as the door is opened by someone from inside, Dean is surprised to be greeted by a birthday cake, with 20 candles placed on top.Monica, who is currently holding the birthday cake, looks awkward and shy, as if she was forced to hold that cake. Meanwhile, Evie and Liza greet him so cheerfully, blowing birthday trumpets at him for quite long, before giving congratulation.“Happy birthday!!!” Dean smiles, with a slightly melancholic face. He himself didn’t even realize that today was his birthday, because it had never been celebrated before.In fact, he is so tired and wants to go to sleep right away. But looking at their enthusiastic faces, he fakes his spirited face.“Make a wish, Dean! Make a wish,” Liza taunts.Dean is silent, confused about what he really expects from life. He
Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 079 - Ambushed
Several groups of professional guardians from The League of Hidden Blood guild are busy protecting the dense forest area on the north side of Dildior, which borders Yegristan. They have gotten a little clue about the possible location where the Hipfixasuses are hiding.A total of two groups, each consisting of 4 professional guardians, are moving towards a large cave area which they just discovered yesterday.They consist of 4 B-rank mages and 2 B-rank paladin warriors, led by Rylie Combs, a B-Rank sorcerer. In contrast to Mages who are usually only skilled in one type of magic, sorcerers like Rylie Combs master many types of magic and witchcraft.They are only accompanied by 1 C-Rank witchdoctor. And indeed the existence of witchdoctors in this guild is quite scarce. Only this one witchdoctor girl has managed to obtain a professional license.At least, they are also accompanied by 4 soldiers from the military. Equipped with full automatic firearms, they look like they are ready for a

Rylie notices that the path they came in is now blocked by those beasts. She immediately issues a command, and prepares them for a fight. “Kevin, put more torches around this place! Bella, prepare your magical aura immediately. And Zach, I need you to put your protective barrier in each of us, and stay near Bella.” Immediately, Bella Davis moves to the back, to a spot with sunlight from outside. She plants a banner stick with a unique sigil motif. After that, she sits cross-legged while pulling out her mana quite large, and starts chanting a spell. Not long after that, a light in the form of a magic circle appears on the ground around her, with a radius of 2 meters. Soon after she finishes chanting the spell, the magic circle then expands and fills the cave to a radius of 300 m. Everyone within the scope of this aura suddenly feels warmth in their bodies. This is an aura that can make them more vigor, have more stamina, and also increases their agility in fighting. “Oh, no! There

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.
