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 he expected. 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

Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 088 - Leaving A Message
Consuming those eight soul crystals has really changed something inside him. Even Dean himself feels some confidence like he can take all those guardians by himself, due to the overflowing mana and spirit energy he currently feels. Or maybe, he is just being overconfident with that sudden change.“Dean! Are you being serious? Most of them are B-rank guardians,” Mary reprimands in a whisper.“I don’t care even if it kills me! We came here to help them. But look at how they treat us.”Right now, there are at least 15 guardians, both from the group led by Luke Hawkin, and also from Devon and Rylie’s groups who are still there. And there are also 5 soldiers from the military unit.However, that doesn’t make Dean the least bit afraid and back down. He really can no longer stand being insulted and belittled all the time.<

After getting treatment from Jennie Garner, the wound in Luke’s earlobe is completely closed and healed. But there’s still a gap in his earlobe between the cut, almost splitting that earlobe in two parts.That cut part could be reattached back if he decided to bring it to the hospital. But they are in the middle of the forest now, 3 hours away from their encampment.If he had to bring it to hospital, there would be a risk for his ear to get infected and for him losing too much blood on the journey. So, there was really no other choice but to treat that wound immediately.“Sorry! I didn’t bring any tools to enable me reattaching this cut part,” utters Jennie with a bit of a guilty face. “It will stay like this, unless you undergo plastic surgery to modify the shape of your earlobe.”Luke doesn’t hide his disappointed face. Instead of expressing gratitude, he pushes her away harshly. “That’s why you are stuck in C-rank. It’s been 4 years since you received your professional license, but

After getting back to that wide cavern, Luke finds what are left from Kevin and the other soldiers from the military. He goes deeper, until he finds the traces of so many charred demons which Mary burnt.“Is this Mariana Durham’s doing?” he questions as he observes the situation of that place.“Who else? She is the only one who is stronger than us,” replies Devon.He then take pictures of the conditions for evidence, and then tells the others to pick up the remains of their fallen comrades,After leaving the cave and getting a fairly strong signal in his phone, Luke immediately makes a report to Prof. Nicholson. But he only discusses Mary's involvement in saving the team led by Rylie, as if everything was only done by Mary alone.[How did she get there? She shouldn't be able to interfere in this issue regarding Hipfisaxus. I’ve told you to not let her involve herself since she hasn’t had her own team of professional guardians?]“No! I never told or asked her help in this matter. They

The mysterious guy runs away while blending into the crowd, causing chaos as Dean hunts him. Not infrequently, he deliberately pulls other people and makes them fall, just to get in Dean's way. > “Shut up! He clearly had a bad intention toward me. He could just try to kill me next time.” Dean looks so eager to get that man, neglecting the fact that he has a class to attend to. He pushes so many people around, making him the target of curse and swearing. As soon as he manages to grab the person's sweater from behind, Dean pulls him, forcing the guy to turn around, and pries open his mask. “What do you want from me, huh?” But the person remains silent, keeping his resentment mixed with his pale face. Dean is also stunned, because the man's regular face is so familiar to him. Especially the guy’s thick brows which almost connect together, looks so unique and is hard to forget. “John? W

When Hector comes out of the alley, he sees Dean trying to chase John on the street. And so, he immediately calls him. “Hey, Dean!” shouts Hector. Dean doesn’t seem to realize the call, and keeps pedaling his bike to hunt John. Hector feels a little uncomfortable, thinking that Dean will do something to John. From what he just saw, there’s clearly a rage written in Dean’s face. In the end, he has no other choice but to also run after them. At one point, Dean loses his track for a while. But he gets a little help by the two Manes accompanying him, who are currently flying high enough to check the situation. These Manes can communicate through their core vibrations.

One of the Manes stays in the air to lock their target, while the other one is informing Musgly to share the information. And it’s always Musgly’s job to relay the message directly to Dean’s left ear. << He is takin
Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 094 - Slavedriver's Gauntlets
Even though he knows how important it is for him to avoid Jay, Dean still can’t hide the anger that is clearly painted on his face. And somehow, it only makes Jay look even more excited. “Finlay, bring me those mechanical gauntlets!” Jay issues. One of his bodyguards bows, and then immediately gets to a car. Soon after that, that big dude comes to Jay by bringing a suitcase. This piques Dean's curiosity. Until then, Jay takes out a pair of mechanical gauntlets from the suitcase and puts them on. The gauntlets cover his fists and forearms. There is a unique small crystal in each of them, glowing blue like the emanation of mana. Dean is a little surprised, and feels that the crystal is a kind of soul crystal. “How did he get it?” mumbles Dean in surprise. But then, he remembers that Jay himself is the son of a former military general. It's quite understandable that people like him have access to such things. It's just that, he is a little curious about what Jay wants to do with th
Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 095 - He Has No Choice
Jay looks so excited for the fact that Dean is still able to get back to his feet. This only means that he can bully him even more. “That’s it! That’s just what I want! I’m going to punish you even more, and take you back home as a slave!” He chuckles with a mad grinning as he comes to Dean, ready to pummel him with his two mechanical gauntlets. Dean pulls his head back to avoid the first incoming punch from Jay. But then he finds that his back has met a concrete wall of a boutique shop. And yet, another punch from Jay is coming to him following the previous one. No longer has the room to get away, Dean ducks down, and immediately slips away, making Jay’s knuckle hit the concrete wall. Bump! Crassssh!!! The hit is quite powerful, to the point creating a crack on that concrete. Even the shock it created has spread, and has broken the glass wall of that boutique shop. Jay slowly turns his face to Dean, smirking devilishly, looking so confident after showing off the damage he has

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.
