Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 127 - A Cunning Witch
Noisy murmurs occur. Some audiences see this as just another golem summoning. The same with Mary, who is now looking amazed, but she also feels ridiculous at the same time. “Since when is he able to summon a golem?” Daniela asks with a confused face. “I don’t know! It's not easy to learn how to summon a golem overnight, Mary responds, baffled. “Even if he can do it, I don’t think he should use this technique to fight someone who is a master at using golems.” “Why? Is it because he can only summon one golem?” “No, that’s not the case,” Mary denies. “If only you knew how complicated that technique is. To create an animated object like golem, you need to prepare some programmed memories first, and input them into the animated object you are going to create.” “And?” “It takes years of training to command your golem to do some basic stuff. They are just animated objects without intelligence or sentience. Most golems can only do some basic stuff, because it’s hard to program complicate
Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 128 - Forfeit
Dean’s decision not to kill his opponent receives a poor judgment from the majority of the guardians, especially from the jury. Most of the jury gives negative notes about this.They believe the fight is quite critical and fierce, and see Rayne Clay as someone Dean shouldn’t underestimate.“If this happened in the field, his naivety could have dire consequences,” says one judge.“He could have died for showing compassion for the enemy. Or worse, he would also put his team in danger if this happened during a war,” says another judge.Of course, not everyone has the same judgment regarding that issue.“What if he did it only because he didn’t see his opponent as a threat?” says another judge, sneers at the previous two. “If you found your enemy was only harmless kids, would you think to kill them?”“Let’s see whether his current opponent is just a harmless kid or not,” replies another judge. “If he can’t knock her out, then I see his decision as naivety.”“So, you’re going to give Rayne

They rush to stop him. Some of them are ready to launch magic attacks from a distance. However… “Protect the Prime Minister!” Dean shouts as he sends a quick wind blade. Some of them turn their attention towards Howard Mckenzie. There they realize there’s a man pulling out a gun from under his jacket and pointing it at the Prime Minister. However, the man’s forearm is slightly cut by Dean’s wind blade, and the gun immediately drops off of the man’s hand. Howard Mckenzie looks so pale. While four securities secure the man, two professional guardians are pinning Dean down on the ground. “What the hell are you trying to do?” “Who ordered you to attack the Prime Minister?” “The fuck!” Dean scolds them. “I was just trying to protect the Prime Minister.” Those two guardians avert their attention and realize their other friends are currently heading to the spectator stand. The big screen is also displaying the situation around Howard Mackenzie. The other spectators can only look at t
Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 130 - What Did He Say?
Soon after he gets to them, Gale Nicholson drops his cigarette before pinching it with his shoes. “It’s so sad that you lost the tournament. Everyone had started believing that you might win it.”“I sincerely apologize!” says Dean with an awkward face. “I know I was the last representative from our guild, and I…”“Well, you saved the Prime Minister,” Nicholson interrupts Dean’s words. “Now the man is expecting an audience with you in his hotel room.”“Eh?”Dean expected Prof. Nicholson would be upset by him. However, that middle-aged professor strangely smiles with a peaceful face unlike how he usually behaved. Well, he did find Prof. Nicholson smiled before this on some occasions, but this time is different.Prof. Nicholson gives him a solemn nod, pats Dean’s shoulder once, and then takes his leave. “Good job, kid! You did a good job!”Dean, Mary, and Daniela are looking at each other with a bit of confused faces. Again, they find it difficult to read what’s inside that man’s head.“
Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 131 - They Can't Hide It Forever
Dean smells some distrust from Prof. Nicholson, either towards the Prime Minister of Estuaria, or maybe towards himself to the point he has to be interrogated like this. “Nothing,” Dean waives. “He only wanted to express his gratitude after I saved his life.” “And?” Prof. Nicholson expects more. Dean smiles a bit. “He asked me to come with him on his next visit to Dildior Metropolitan Studio to attend a TV show.” Gale Nicholson puts on a curious face. “But he hasn’t sent any official letter to our guild.” “He wanted me to join him during my off days, which has nothing to do with my role as a guardian,” says Dean. Prof. Nicholson leans his back to the chair, and starts giving a serious thought about that situation. “You do know you are a full time professional guardian, don’t you?” “But I only have to work during the weekends, right?” replies Dean rhetorically. “But we expect you to be on standby, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in case there is an emergency call,” Prof. Nicholso
Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 132 - Try To Follow Me
Daniela rushes to answer the call, knowing her healing magic is needed to help the injured policemen.The number of Witchdoctor-type Professional Guardians in this guild is not that many. There is only 1 A-rank, 1 B-rank, and 3 C-ranks including Daniela. But so far, they have never been in a situation where there was a shortage of medical personnel.“What’s going on here?” mumbles Dean.“They said there was a Hipfisaxus attack,” says Mary. “But this is still afternoon. Hipfisaxus are nocturnals.”“They don’t like bright light, doesn’t mean they are not active during the day. Just look at the sky now,” says Dean, talking about how dark the sky is due to the thick rainy cloud.Dean realizes that Prof. Nicholson has also been there before them. The man looks so calm smoking his cigarette under the rain, with a certain weapon wrapped in a cloth on his back. Regardless of how calm the man's face is, the fact that he has even taken to the field indicates how serious the situation is.The gu
Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 133 - Distrust
One of the hyena demons, the one which has lost its rider, manages to get behind Dean, and aims a sneaky attack. But still, Dean is able to notice it, and beheads that massive hyena with one slash. Prof. Nicholson gets the chance to see how Dean is still able to react to an attack coming from his blind spot. He smiles a little, as he nonchalantly avoids several huge slams from the Hipfisaxus around him. During this long battle, Dean still shows his immaturity on some occasions. At one moment, he decides to jump away to avoid an incoming massive stone mace. Bam!!! The stone mace breaks the ground as it misses its target. But soon, another demon waves its massive trunk to hit Dean while he is still in the air. > “Oh, no! There’s no way I can avoid this one!” He raises his left knee, and lowers his left arm to protect his left side, and tries his best to channel some energy shield by focusing it on that part. Braak! He receives the hit, and is flung away in the air. Y
Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 134 - What Moves Them
Sarah enters that storage room. “What’s going on?” she asks.“Sara! Give me your sword,” asks Mary.Sara throws her short cutlass at Mary. It makes Zach so awry, thinking these two girls are going to kill him. He immediately draws his sword, ready to have a fight.But Mary only uses the grips of the cutlass to knock the tiny soul crystal on a table, breaking the crystal into several shards. She then swallows a shard to replenish her mana, and shares the rest of the shards with Sara.“I’ve saved 6 people, and you think I can’t pick this one which only took me no more than 5 seconds to do?!”Zach is a bit startled, but Mary just pushes him away.“Why did you eat it?”“Just focus on your job! If you ever abandon your friends again, I’m going to burn you to death!”Mary ignores Zach and tells Sara to immediately check the other building, following the gunshots they are still hearing. Until then, they find two policemen who are trying to rescue several workers trapped in a lobby.One of 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.
