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

    Drip! Drip!!Drops of blood fall onto the grass, with Dean hiding behind a tree on the side of the road, with his left hand soaked in blood.Unfortunately, he is currently not wearing 'The Covenant Mantle' which is always protected by a mana shield, only his bulletproof official robe.At least, he managed to cover his head with his left hand before the loud gunshot occured. Even though he had deployed a small spirit shield for protection, the bullet still penetrated the bulletproof defense of his official robe.Indeed, shots from snipers are much stronger with higher penetration power than ordinary handguns. Now, the sniper bullet is stuck in his forearm. It isn’t very deep, with a few millimeters of the ammo still outside. And he can still forcefully pull it out with his fingers.“Shiiit!”>“My hand is so numb! If this bullet had hit my head, I'm not sure if I would still be alive.”The wound on his hand has started to emit a thin haze, but he is not going to wait

    Well, there is still a few seconds before the grenade explodes after the safety pin is released. Dean catches it, and then throws it away.Blarr!!!It explodes in the air, just a few meters away from them. That woman received burn damage on her left face. Her mask has torn apart, as well as some parts of her tactical uniform, which are damaged by the heat released by that explosion.However, Dean still looks so fine, being protected by his thick spirit energy shield. There’s no visible injury on him.“I just closed the distance of a few hundred meters in a few seconds. And you think I wouldn’t be able to react to your sneaky attack?”He notices the woman is shaking due to the pain, so he simply releases her. That woman rushes to get away, and then pulls another grenade. But she immediately falls to her knees as she turns back to Dean.She still holds the grenade, looking so shocked to find Dean completely unharmed by that explosion. Now she doubts if the one grenade in her hand will m

    Dean returns to the place where he left Ruby Nielsen's body. However, he looks reluctant to move the body.In the end, he just hides near the place, while observing the corpse. If any of Ruby Nielsen’s friends come, maybe he can just ambush them.Unfortunately, after waiting for some time, no one comes, except Prof Nicholson.“Didn't I tell you to hide the body,” says Prof Nicholson with a discontent look.Dean doesn’t say anything, only showing an unenthusiastic face. In the end, Prof Nicholson is forced to hide the body himself.“Sigh! Don't ever tell anyone about the magic I’m going to use,” Prof Nicholson warns.Those words spark curiosity in Dean.Prof. Nicholson then moves, standing on the west side of the corpse, deliberately covering that body with his shadow. Stretching out his right hand directly above the corpse, he begins to recite an incantation in whisper.Dean can’t hear the incantation clearly. But then when Prof Nicholson starts to raise his voice at the end of the sp

    It takes time for a change. For now, the issue regarding these hipfisaxus is handled directly by the prime minister, no longer delegating it to the ministry of national security. “To ensure the safety of the people of Dildior, I will send 2 groups of guardians from Medreisten to help the professional guardians here,” says Howard Mckenzie at the end of the talk show. “We won’t let these monsters threaten the lives of our people. We will hunt them all, without leaving anything.” ​ The Nightshapers guild from Mestral province and the Hummingbane guild from Alfreidor province also send their representatives, one group each consisting of 4 guardians. After all, these two provinces neighbored Dildior. They share the same border area on the north, which is the wide dense forest bordering Yegristan, which is suspected to be the nest of these monsters. Meanwhile, The League of Hidden Blood deploys at least 4 groups of professional guardians with one senior A-rank supervisor, 17 guardians

  • Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel   146 - The Absence of Insignificant One

    This is the worst danger of recklessly attacking someone with arrogance. The man came at such a high speed, without being prepared for the scenario that a counter would come. So vulnerable, without the slightest defense, he didn’t think about any risks because he took Dean too lightly. So he got humbled in the worst possible way.The brief commotion has caught the attention of everyone at the base camp. There are even soldiers who look alert with their submachine guns, thinking there was an ambush.Everyone in the tents, barracks, weapons storage building, as well as the officials who are in the meeting room, are also coming out one by one.“Mary?!” A-rank Laura Quinn, supervisor assigned by Prof. Nicholson for this mission, comes rushing over. “What’s going on here?” she inquires with an awry face, as she finds how dire Willie Cunningham’s condition is.No one says anything. But Laura isn’t waiting for a response and immediately starts giving an immediate treatment for Willie Cunning

    “You punk! You better watch your mouth when talking to my captain,” says the burly Bobby Baker. His skin literally turns red, seeming to show off one of his unique traits by accident due to his uncontrollable anger.“Shut the fuck off!” Mary refutes coldly with a low intimidating voice. “There’s only one captain in this team, which is me!”Marley immediately halts the man, “Hold on, Bob! It’s okay.” She then turns back to Mary stating her conditions. “We will join you, but don’t expect us to protect your witchdoctors, or any of you. We were sent here to hunt the demons, not to babysit you kids.”“Hell no! If you want to join this group, you do as I say! If you disobey me and put my team in danger, I’m going to burn your ugly face until your mom can’t recognize you! You hear me?”Prof. Nicholson and Laura are a bit startled by Mary’s sudden change. They had never found Mary losing her temper like this while showing her dominance to other people.However, they quite understand that this

    Everyone takes this opportunity to rest, drink, and also enjoy their snacks. Most of them look a little tired after this long journey, as do the soldiers.However, this man named Bobby Baker finds that Dean still looks as fresh as the one friend next to him. As he remembers, Dean has never had a drink after more than 2 hours of exploring this forest.“Acting tough, huh?” he grumbles with an irritated face.“Who? Me?” asks the girly guy Levi as he gently cleans his face with a tissue.“Not you! But him,” says Bobby as he directs Levi’s attention to Dean. “I see that guy has been acting like the boss. I'm fed up with the way he has been showing off proving he's worthy of the trust he currently receives from his team leader, acting tough all over the place.”Marley comes to them, and gets the chance to hear what Bobby just said. “You better not take that guy too lightly,” she warns.“What? Do you think he's so great just because of what he did to Willie?” utters Bobby. “Look! It's all ju

    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.
