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

    Mary begins to consider her options, observing all those guardians one by one. She doesn’t really know all of their capabilities, except for a few of them whom she has learned so far.At least, she has confidence in Dean's ability to deal with half of the demons by himself. The rest, she just needs a few extra members to help him, and ensures that no one will die on this mission.“Okay, we will split in two,” says Mary. “The raid team and the back-up team. Dean, you take the lead of the raid team. Sara, Daniela, Devon, Julius Vargas, and Rayne Clay, these five people will go with you.”“Just six of them?” One of the soldiers asks, doubting Mary’s decision.“No, but I want you to take 5 of your men to come along,” says Mary to the soldiers. “But your focus is only to make sure these five people have their way out in case some problem arises.”“Aren’t you taking 28 hipfisaxus too lightly?” Marley voices her concern. ​“There are 16 guardians in this group. At least, you can take two of u

    One advantage for them is fighting in a tunnel that is not too wide. Because of the demons' massive size, only two demons could attack Dean at the same time, while the others at the back get no room to come.One of them on the left side swings its stone mace. The tip of the mace rubs against the cave wall, but the monster is strong enough to force its attack and make the cave wall break slightly.However, this creates Dean a chance to deliver a counter. He cuts the demon’s left arm first, right before that monster hits him.Crassh!!!Blood splatter on the ground. More blood is also gusting out of the monster’s severed hand as Dean continues delivering another slash to handle the other demons on the right.Julius Vargas takes the initiative to kill the one hipfisaxu whose left hand has been severed by Dean. Judging by how easily Dean cut the demon’s arm, he thinks it will be easy to kill it by using his bigger broadsword. However…Jelbb!!!His sword is stuck at the demon’s torso. He is

    But those two guardians from Midresiten ignore her. They even laugh openly to show their rebellion.“Let’s go, Bobby! Let’s teach that ugly bitch a lesson!”Those two guardians don’t seem to use any weapons at all. Marley is jumping across the bushes with her hands have been enveloped by thin mana, but looking sharp like psionic blades.And Bobby, he simply charges by breaking the bushes with his big body which has turned so red as if he has become like an ogre. He slams his own shoulder to a tree, making the big tree shake violently.One hipfisaxu falls, and Marley welcomes it with her psionic blades, peeling the demon’s skin flesh by flesh before it hits the ground. They bully that one demon together, with Bobby acting as the tanker to restrain the demon’s savagery, and Marley having leisure time cutting the demon’s back, with a mad grinning adorning her face.“More! Moreee!!”“Hey, watch out!” Bobby warns her about the coming of another demon, jumping toward them from a branch of a

    She also noticed that Mary could make the ball explode at will, something so unusual for fireball users she has seen so far. She knows for sure, even if she might be able to dodge the fireball, there’s no way she would survive an explosion of that magnitude. Now she finds Mary looking very tired, with glazed eyes like someone who is trying to fight sleep. She knows very well that it is the condition of someone who has run out of mana. “Using that much mana just to show off? What is she going to do now?” Yet, Mary is still busy giving instructions to everyone, and tells Jennie and Daniela to treat the injured guardians and soldiers as if she doesn’t care about her own condition. She consumes a few shards of soul crystals while ordering those people around. Soon, she looks so fresh after replenishing her mana. There are no symptoms of her being tired now, which makes Marley and her two friends baffled. The three guardians from Medreisten also see the other guardians from The League

    Mary looks so annoyed with the unbearable irritation. But she knows that she isn’t in the position to argue back with this man. “Fine! I’ll let them join my team. But I will not be responsible for whatever happens to them,” she says. “Of course, you won’t,” replies Samuel Bowman. “If they get into a situation where they died during a mission, it would only happen by you dying before them. Their chance of survive far better than all of you combined.” That’s how much confidence Samuel Bowman has for those guardians from Medreisten. Knowing he has won the argument, he then takes his leave with that much confidence.​ Dean comes to Mary who is still so annoyed and irritated. He pats her shoulder from behind, and chirps to lighten the mood. “Try to look at the positive side. Now you no longer have to be responsible for them. After this, just let them do as they please. If they are injured, let them be. Don't let Daniela treat them. If they die, it has nothing to do with us,” he says. B

    On the way to Monica's house where they are going to stay the night, Mary explains the conditions for the royal family of the remnants of the Cresta Kingdom. Surprisingly, this is something Rayne Clay doesn't really know. This village girl only left her hometown about two months ago. So far, she has received some cold treatment from a few people in the Hummingbane guild. But she didn’t know this has something to do with her race and her link to Cresta Kingdom. “Now you see, I’ve received the same treatment too. So, you better not tell anybody about your background here,” Mary reprimands. “But, your friends seem nice,” says Rayne Clay naively. “Because their situation is similar to ours,” says Mary. “Daniela is from the Whitglade family, a remnant of Epretia Kingdom. And Sara is from Regal family of Slicia Kingdom.” “Eh, she is from that renowned hunter family of the south?” says Rayne Clay in a bit of surprise to hear about Sara’s background. “Now I know why she is so great with t

    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.
