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 next day, after coming back from college, he goes to the woods behind the house to do some training.All he does is just simply repeating the same pattern to deliver all his special techniques on trees. It’s not like he has any training partner if he has to practice with a moving enemy.Aside from all that, he also tries meditating as soon as he gets tired physically. After getting some insight from Namsqeem, he doesn’t want to empty his mana vessel too early at the moment.At least, the current him knows the sign when he has used up too much mana. It’s shown by the mental fatigue that he feels. As soon as he feels it even slightly, he stops the training.>“You are right! Maybe I can try the training Mary told before, by holding this Grimoire’s Dagger of Apathy. I have to learn to prevent this item from draining my mana as it pleases.”He calms his mind

    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. It’s not that hard for them to do even if they are currently separated about 20-30 meters to each other. 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

    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

    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

    Right now, after that fight ended, when he can think calmly, he is able to see the option where he didn’t have to do that move. It’s just that during the heat of that fight, he could only follow his instinct.In the past two months, he has fought against evil spirits and demons. He even killed some of them. But here he feels the fear that he might have killed a human being.>“Rather than worrying that he would get his revenge by hurting others, I’m more worried that I might have killed him.”>“Killing demons is one thing. But killing another human is a different story. As much as I hate Jay Watson, I’m not ready to kill any human yet. My humanity is being questioned here.

    Three weeks after the incident, Jay Watson is starting to be able to carry out his daily activities a little, although with some issues. It’s not a minor injury to begin with. But he should be grateful that the doctors saved his life. He can’t remember the last moments of his fight with Dean. The only thing he can clearly remember is the moment he managed to hit Dean in the face. He still feels that indescribable sensation of satisfaction, an ecstasy. But he can’t recall more than that. “Uuurgh, fuck!” He groans as he feels an unbearable headache. “Can’t you make that fucking dogs quiet?” He shouts out loud from his room. But the shouting only makes the throbbing in his head stronger and more painful. He can’t bear any noise. But the dogs have been barking loudly since the morning, as they are agitated by the existence of the slaves in their cage. Right now, he no longer has any slaves inside his room. The two beautiful red-haired girls have run away, and he still can’t find their

He only stops when he almost breaks a photograph of himself being together with his late mother in one of the competitions he had won in the past.There’s no scar on his face in that picture.

    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.
