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

    “Zach, Kevin! You coward! Get back here!” Bella scolds, but without getting any response from that one mage.Right when Bella loses her concentration, that one small demon hits her with the gun. Luckily, the gun runs empty after a few shots. However, one bullet manages to log in Bella’s back, and her magical aura is also deactivated.Rylie and James notice that. Two members are abandoning the fight, Kevin and Zach, two mages from Devon’s group.They can only express their irritation to Devon, but Devon can’t really do anything in that situation, but to focus on what he can do at the moment.“Neil! Help me to open the path!” says Devon soon after he picks the injured Bella. “Rylie, we have to get away from this place!”Rylie accepts the suggestion. But James looks so annoyed by that situation, still believing that he could just wipe the entire demons if only the two mages from Devon’s team didn’t abandon the fight.“Being alert my ass! This is what happens if you neglect the fact that

    Some hours prior to that incident in the cave, Mary and his team are busy with their job in Declan Hensley’s residence. This is the same place the first time Dean encountered a demon. Yes, that one bulldog demon.Apparently, this Declan Hensley is a member of the people's representative council of Dildior. He has been vocally voicing his contempt with the way Maverick Watson reigns in this metropolis area. And for an odd reason, he is one of Mary’s clients who receives Spectre's attack the most.And guess what? That old man is currently behaving oddly, not giving any response to anyone who tries to provoke him to talk, except when he is hungry and needs something to eat. He has been like this for the last two days.“Dean, please calm down a bit,” says Mary, pulling Dean back before she comes to the other two. “Now, Daniela and Sara! What do you think about Mr. Hensley&rsquo

    But Dean ignores her, and then jumps from the balcony of that second floor, and lands on the backyard. He goes further away from that house, and then releases that one specter.Immediately…Plak!!!Mary slaps his head from behind, without holding herself in the slightest bit.“What’s wrong with you?” she grumbles.“Well, we could have followed it back to the one who sent it here,” says Dean.There Mary’s facial expression changes drastically. “Oh, you should have told me earlier!”“Stupid! If I told you earlier, then that specter would realize my plan.”“But, how are we going to follow it! Can you even track that specter down in a bright daylight like this?” asks Mary.

    It only makes Mary even more awry, since Dean has recklessly gone deeper into the cave by himself. At the moment, the tunnel that Dean currently takes isn’t that crowded by those Hipfisaxu demons. He only finds two of them, and can easily kill those two since he gets them off guard, slaying their heads with his dagger. All the torches Kevin left behind are still burning. So he just follows the torches. Until he reaches the large cavern area inside, a dozen of Hipfisaxus welcome him. “Oh, no! This is too much!” He looks back, intending to take the tunnel he just took. But there are already two demons coming to him from that direction. “Mary! Help!” Mary and Sara can hear his shouting. And so, they fasten their pace. As they get to that large cavern, they finds Dean being blown away, hitting his back to the cave wall quite hard. “Dean!” Mary calls from a distance. “I’m okay!” replies Dean as he gets back up, and gets away from the incoming demons. “Where are the others?” utters

    Somehow, Namsqeem’s sudden appearance has caught those demons’ attention. They stop for a moment, looking so curious to see what’s coming to them. “So, you really ask for my help, huh! Does that mean you no longer see me as an evil entity?” “Yeah! I’m having a fight with a horde of demons now! Would you help me to fight them?” “Why not? Promise is a promise, even if you ask me to help you fight against other specters, I’ll keep my promise. Not to mention they are just stupid demons, not specters.” Namsqeem flies swiftly, and then delivers a swirling slash using his massive and sharp claws by spinning his body. Crash! Crassh!! Crasssh!!! Blood splatters everywhere, as well as the demon’s limbs and heads. Now with Namsqeem joining their team, the situation is getting easier for Dean and Sara to handle those demons. Even Mary is also getting a leisurely way casting her spells safely at the back. Elsewhere, Rylie and the others are still trapped, with a few Hipfisaxus trying to open

    Those words only make Mary even more curious. She has been too accustomed with a label being put to red-haired people as the least talented people for magic and witchcraft. Even Dean himself has also affirmed that label, after the examination he went through recently, indicating that he is so poor in mana. Now she gets a story that there were some great wizards from the red-haired people in the past. “Hold on! Wait!” Mary comes closer. “If he really has that much mana reserve, why would it become harder for him to use his mana? I thought Dean was only poor in mana!” “I didn’t say he has a massive mana reserve, but a massive vessel,” Namsqeem clarifies. “Think about a well. If it is so deep that the water level is too far below the ground, it will be harder to pull that water to the surface, compared to a well that is near to the ground.” Mary’s facial expression change

    But he only finds the dead bodies of the soldiers from the army which came with him, and also Kevin who died near the cave mouth.Upon reaching outside, he finds Jennie and Daniela. They are clearly not combatant type guardians, far from what heexpected. He still looks around to find other guardians, but finds no one.“Where’s the rest?” he grumbles.“Who?” asks Jennie.“Isn't there a rescue team coming from the headquarters?” he scolds in anger.“Why?” asks Daniela with an awry face. “No way! Don’t tell me…”Daniela rushes to enter the cave, thinking that everyone is in danger. But no, James was only angry at the fact that those demons were wiped out by only three guardians in Mary’s group, where two of them haven’t even had th

    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.
