Mary comes closer, and then observes Rayne’s injuries by taking off one of the band aid in her face.

There she finds a shallow cut. She also takes off one other band aid on her upper arm, finding out it is the same injury as Rayne has on her face.

Mary looks baffled. It seems impossible that those small cuts were caused by the fight with hipfisaxus or other beasts in the jungle.

“What happened?” she asks

Daniela and Sara come over, accompanied by Rayne’s friends from the Hummingbane guild. Dean gives Rayne to Julius Vargas, and asks Daniela to treat her wounds.

“Sorry, we got lost. We encountered a few hyena-like demons on our way back,” says Dean.

Samuel Bowman appears, followed by Willie and Bobby from behind. “Where’s Marley and Levi?” he inquires.

Dean stares at him coldly. Just for a moment, before he puts on an ignorant face like an innocent kid. “Why do you think they would be with me? Did they lose

    The feeling is not so unfamiliar to him, since he has experienced it once, a while ago, to be trapped in a trapping jar. “Can’t let myself be trapped by humans for the second time.” Somehow, the current Namsqeem is quite able to resist the pull, and continues to move closer to the house. But then he falls silent, doubting his intention to enter. He can just force his way through and then destroys all the talismans there. But he opts not to do it. A moment later, two guardians come out of one of the tents in the backyard. Namsqeem moves away from that place, and hides in a big tree not far from the house, in the edge of the woods. The two guardians are Sara who is carrying a shovel and Daniela with a trapping jar that she has prepared beforehand. They do intend to take out the trapping jar in the ground under that pile of withered flowers. Namsqeem watches them from a distance, until he sees Sara taking out a jar conta

    The more Dean approaches them, the more intimidated they become. Rylie Combs even looks so alert, and both of her hands are flooded with mana, looking like she is ready to cast a spell at any given chance.“What are you doing here?” Dean asks nonchalantly.Rylie doesn’t answer at all, still looking alert like someone who is about to fight. Dean smiles slightly, quite understanding why she is acting like that. But he has no other choice to hide Namsqeem's presence by releasing some of his own aura.“We were sent here to help Mary look for you?” Luke Hawkins interferes. “I heard you were lost in the jungle.”“I'm here now. But there are still two other people who haven't come back yet,” explains Dean.“Who?” asks Luke Hawkins.“Two guardians from Medresiten,” says Daniela, interrupting. “Marley Aurora and Levi Schopenhauer.”Luke Hawkins is a little surprised to hear these two names. “Aren't those two people A-rank guardians? Why would they call us here to help people like them?”“Why?”

    Laura is so stunned and turns quiet. She has learned about the disappearance of Ruby Nielsen recently, and they haven’t found her so far. But no one has raised any suspicions that she might have died.No one knows what mission she had before her disappearance, because Nightshapers guild has stated that she wasn’t on any mission during her disappearance.At least, the growing theory is that she may have accepted a job offer from an outsider without telling her guild, and is still carrying that job secretly until now.“How did you know she died?” asks Laura.“I have her body with me, and I’ve shown it to Robert,” says Nicholson.“What the?”“Let’s forget about that issue for now,” Prof. Nicholson waives. “Look! We don't even know the whereabouts of those two guardians from Medreisten. They could still be alive and just lost in the jungle.”“I know that enough,” says Laura. “That’s why we need to search for them.”“But Samuel Bowman believes you won’t find them. He is so sure his two men

    The expression in Bowman’s face drastically changes, not expecting a girl as young as Rayne to master the Nimeza spell to that extent. Even Laura has also made up her mind to be an opposition, ready with her ‘Charm of Incantation Gloves’ on both hands. “Is this how you lead Bowman, promoting intimidation by throwing away your common sense?” says Laura rhetorically. Bowman glances around. There are at least 17 guardians opposing him, while he only has Bobby and Willie on his side. Even though he is an A-rank guardian, he isn’t sure he could face them all. Besides, if he forces himself, then the one who would lose is their own organization. In the end, he moves his hand away from the gryphon, and suppresses his aura. “We haven’t even found their dead bodies, yet you are already declaring their deaths,” says Laura. “Why don’t we just continue the search first? They could just still be alive.” Samuel Bowman’s hands clench

    It's already past 3 p.m. Even though she has gotten some time to sleep, Mary's mood still hasn’t improved. She comes out of the guest bathroom near the kitchen, rubbing her hair with a towel, with a very annoyed expression on her face. Moreover, the commotion Dean creates in the kitchen makes her even more annoyed. “What are you doing?” she asks with a frown. “Breaking these soul crystals,” says Dean, continuing to hit the soul crystal with a wooden hammer on a table. Mary rushes towards him. Realizing he has broken so many of them, her mood only gets even worse. “Heeey!” She immediately puts away the remains of the soul crystal which Dean has not yet destroyed. “You don’t have to break them all!” Dean stops, and looks baffled. “We are going to sell them, dimwit!” Mary whines. “So what?” asks Dean. “Can’t you just sell the shards?” “The price will fall, you fool!” Mary scolds. <

    The female hipfisaxu approaches the monkey, stroking it gently as if trying to calm it. Then she attaches several electrodes to the monkey's chest, before finally that one small specter enters the monkey’s body.Soon, that possessed monkey suddenly goes crazy and violent, as its size slowly grows bigger. The chains which bind its arms and legs also break apart because of its growth. However, that savage beast can’t struggle because it is immediately shocked by a high voltage electric current. After an hour, the monkey stops growing and becomes calmer, exhausted. Its current shape looks so similar to those of hipfisaxus, a bit bigger than Erkin and Erika, but smaller than the rest. “Erika! I’ll leave him to you. Make sure he understands human language,” says Albert to that one female hipfixasu. “There’s something else that I need to do.” “Yes, Master!” replies that female hipfisaxu by bowing her head. As soon as he leaves the room,

  • Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel   172 - Madness

    One thing unique about the people of Yegristan is that they don't care about a person's social status. Caste differences are what they hate most. For centuries, this country has been ruled by a strata concept, where prospective kings are only selected from certain circles. It’s the sole reason that sparked a revolution several ago. At least, that’s what most people believe. Those who act arrogantly because of wealth, rank, or position, are the people who are most hated in society. No matter how poor a person here, he will surely get a strong support from the community if someone insults him. This condition was also the initial trigger for the problems that Jay Watson caused the first time he set foot in this country. It started with him treating a female waitress at a bar harshly, where he paid by throwing money on the floor, and demanding that female waitress to pick it up with her mouth, not realizing it’s no longer Starlight Street.

    The next morning, Albert Lawson comes to the prison accompanied by Johann Salazar and Taylor Cole. Albert thought things would go smoothly if he just talked to the warden, because initially Jay was detained there not as a criminal, but only to save his life. But the story is different, when the prison warden's face is now disfigured, with a broken nose due to Jay Watson's own madness. “I keep him here to save his life! But look at what he has done to my face!” says the warden, snapping before pounding the table, and then turning his head away. “I can only apologize,” says Albert Lawson. “Can't you take him out now? That way, maybe he won't be a source of trouble for you anymore.” “Rest assured! I've dealt with that lunatic,” says the warden. “I’ve locked him up in solitary confinement, and he will stay there until his last breath.” “Maybe I need to warn you about the kid's father,” says Johann. Albert immediately glances back at Johann, with a serious stare, seeming unhappy with

    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.
