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.

<< Dean!!! >>

“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

    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

He delivers several slashes in all directions, cutting the large hipfisaxus that are currently in front of him, as well as the nearby 7 hyphysaxus which are jumping in the air. Crashh! Crashh!! Crashh!!! Those demons are cut to pieces, with their body parts and blood scattering all over the place. Two of his slashes release flying spirit blades, one shot towards the forest injuring 2 monsters quite far from him, while the other one flies at Mary and the other guardians. “Oh, no!” Mary is shocked. Luckily for her, she has prepared her Nimeza spell to create a barrier. Instea

    They find one monster with a crushed head in front of them, while the other one has lost its head. After taking a few steps in fear, they immediately scream hysterically when they see the severed head of that one hipfisaxu lying behind the table. Three of the women in white coats look like they are holding back their vomit. Meanwhile, Ms. Mendez, who is at the very back, still has not taken her attention away from Dean. She is much more afraid of Dean than the demons. “Is there anyone else other than you guys in this place?” Dean asks. They don’t immediately respond to Dean's question, still looking disgusted and eerie, looking at the two corpses of the hipfisaxus.​ “Calm down! We have secured this building,” says Dean. “So, is there anyone else other than you guys in this place?” “Uh, we don’t know for sure!” says one of them. “There are only the four of us here. But I’m not so sure about the other rooms,” explains Ms. Mendez. “By the way, who are you people?” “Hold on! I want

    Dean looks at his new ID card with mixed feelings. This kind of recognition is what he has always been expecting from the start of his career as a Professional Guardian. But still, he feels everything is too sudden.“Mary has also just been promoted to A-rank,” Laura informs. “Sara and Daniela too, they are now B-rank guardians. This way, we can give you much more important tasks than before.”>“Thank you!” says Dean.“You are welcome,” replies Laura before she leaves Dean by himself.Dean puts on the robe with great pride. From the beginning, he has always looked forward to moments like this, where he can brag about himself in front of the other guardians, as well as teenagers who have not obtained their professional licenses, as a response to their attitude of always mocking and underestimating him.When he arrives at the lobby, all eyes are immediately focused on him. Actually, he has been the subject of gossip for some time, starting from his involvemen

    In the third floor hallway, Daniela and Sara meet Dean who wants to look for Mary. However, the two girls prevent Dean from meeting Mary and take him back to the lobby. Dean feels a little uninspired. He takes out his smartphone to look at the time, and realizes it is already 17:26. Sara glances at him with a slightly silly face, because Dean is currently wearing a watch on his left hand, but is still looking at the time via his smartphone. “What?” Dean asks flatly. Sara chuckles a bit, and then lifts Dean's left arm, right near the watch. Dean gives her a disinterested reaction. “This watch no longer works. After all, it is an old watch, probably some decades old.” “Then why are you still wearing it?” Daniela asks curiously. Dean shakes his head, and ignores them. Daniela and Sara whisper to each other while keeping their giggle, suspecting that the watch must be a gift from Mary. Upon reaching the lobby, Dean again receives excessive attention from the low rank guardians and

    Prof. Nicholson nods slowly. “He is considered a liberation hero. He has his own heroic stories on the battlefield. But I never believe the narrative they give about how he died in battle.”“Then about the myth brought up by Leonardo Espinoza?” Mary asks.“This myth initially spread among the people of Yegristan,” says Prof. Nicholson. “But many people think it was just a joke. But later I began to think, maybe Leonardo wasn't joking at all with his words.”“And you think Albert Lawson tried to dig up that information, assuming Leonardo had left some clue to his family before he died?” Mary concludes.“I'm afraid so,” Prof. Nicholson nods. “Maybe Albert Lawson already had some important clue, which made him go so far to marry Leonardo’s wife, to look for the missing puzzle.”Suddenly their conversation is interrupted by someone knocking on the door.“Professor!”Gale Nicholson recognizes that it is Dean's voice, and he immediately invites Dean in. As soon as Dean opens the door, Nicho

    Liza invites Mary and Prof. Nicholson to the living room. Meanwhile, Monica and Dean look curious, observing them from the family room. “Dean! What is that professor doing with Mary here?” Monica asks. “Actually, he is the leader in our guild,” Dean answers. “No way! So, that professor is also part of the Guardians of Estuaria?” “Yes!” Even so, Dean is a little confused about the purpose of Prof. Nicholson's arrival. So far, this man doesn't want to deal with people if it's not about something really important. Evie is just as confused, and curious. She feels a bit familiar with Prof. Nicholson's face, but can’t recall who he is exactly. She welcomes the guests in a friendly manner, but occasionally still shows a curiosity towards Prof. Nicholson. Realizing Evie's reaction, Prof Nicholson tells about his relationship with Leonardo Espinoza. After that, he lets Mary talk more to Evie. As Dean has said, Mary explains the dangerous situation in the area and offers Evi and her fami

    Dean, who seems to be starting to understand something, tries to touch the watch that is still in Mrs. Palmer’s hand, and indeed the watch seems to only be active if spirit energy is applied to it. When Dean is no longer touching the watch, none of the numbers on the watch is glowing. “Could it be that this watch was meant for you?” mumbles Mrs. Palmer. “I don’t think so,” Dean denies. “But…” “It’s powered by spirit energy,” Dean continues. “Spirit energy?” “It’s something everyone has inside them, but not everyone can pull it out,” says Dean before he shows his Dagger of Apathy to Mrs. Palmer. “I’m able to draw it out and channel it to an object. However, I believe I’m not the only one who can do this.” Mrs. Palmer hands the watch back to Dean, but now it’s the number 9 which is glowing. It reminds Dean about Mrs. Palmer’s words that the watch was actually a compass. Dean observes it carefully by moving it here and there, and the glowing number is shifting from 9 to 10 and th

    Even until the next few weeks, the situation in most places in The Democratic State of Yegristan, is still in chaos.

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.
