2024-04-02 04:00:08Feeling offended, Dean doesn’t eat what he almost put in his mouth. But then Lincoln appears to tell Dastan about Dean's current condition.
“He is no longer part of Guardians of Estuaria,” says the old man.
“Oh, really?” asks Dastan with his nonchalant smile.
Dean is a bit surprised to hear it coming from that old man Lincoln.
“How did you know, Sir?”
“Seems like you don’t even follow the news about you, huh?” replies Lincoln rhetorically. “The journalists have come to the League of Hidden Blood headquarters seeking for a meeting with you. But they were denied by Gale Nicholson, telling that you’ve resigned.”
Somehow, Dastan looks so satisfied with the news, and pats Dean’s back a few times. “That’s great! Now you know who they truly are!”

He rushes to Ryamond while taking out his gun, looking so alert to observe his surroundings before checking his partner’s condition.His face turns pale as he realizes that Raymond Hubbard is dead.

Despite that, he tries to respect Camran's decisions. All this time, that old man has always been gentle and modest, without ever appearing so serious and so emotional like this. Even though he doesn’t really understand the old man’s words, he is sure that this must be something very important. Not wanting to argue, Dean accepts Camran’s decision, taking the old watch back from Maverick Watson without involving them. “It’s okay! I’ll go there myself,” he says. “But I need at least your truck out there, and two of your men to take away the women enslaved by Maverick. You don’t need to worry about their safety. They can wait for those women outside Maverick’s residence.” Dastan doesn’t say a word, while the old Camran takes Dean outside, fulfilling Dean’s request for the truck and assistance from another two men. “Come,” says the old man. “If you are really the leader of the Miarnin Tribe now, then it’s your duty to save your own people.” That same afternoon, Dean leaves the museum,

At this time, most of the bodyguards in the house are distracted by the commotion created by Dastan in the front yard.Dastan continues to move as a decoy, without having to directly face the guards, just keeping them busy and diverting their attention.Well, he is not actually alone. Dean lets Namsqeem help Dastan to employ this job.Thanks to them, nine guards in the backyard have been easily knocked down by Dean's sudden attack which came amidst the chaos.Dean notices Jay and Taylor's appearance. In haste, he rushes toward one Miarnin woman who is lying unconscious on the floor.“Go quick! Get them out of this place!”At the moment, instead of being annoyed and angry, Jay actually looks excited. However, even though he is seen grinning with joy, his body seems to be covered in an aura, which is quite dark and chaotic.In a

Jay no longer puts up the slightest resistance. His body lay resignedly on the floor, with Dean continuously pummeling his face, over, and over.For a moment, Dean takes a pause as he holds Jay’s collar, with his right clenched fist ready to deliver another blow.“I know this won’t bring her back to me. And I know this won’t satisfy my anger. But I know this knuckle will send you straight to hell!”His right fist begins to release a chaotic dark aura, looking like dark lightning but in the form of thick and dense tainted spirit energy.Crckle, crckle!!!But then, with an already battered face, Taylor comes trying to ask Dean to spare Jay’s life, by shifting the blame to someone else.“Hey, if it is about the death of those two women, that had nothing to do with him. It was actually done by Albert Lawson.”

It catches Dean off guard. Despite the fact how clear the killing intent he feels, he can’t fully read the incoming danger beforehand just like how he usually does. The current Jay is just a creature with total madness. There’s no clear intent from him, no evil intention whatsoever. It’s just savagery of a chaotic mind, while Dean’s mind has also been disarray because of his grudge and rage. Thankfully, even though Jay has succeeded in gripping Dean's body and hands, this demon has absolutely no clear desire to do anything after that. His other hand is still holding his head, as if trying to hold something back, looking so in pain. Meanwhile, Dean is still having difficulty freeing himself from Jay's left arm, which is already like a bizarre elongated bulky arm. The grip is so tight that Dean can’t keep a hold of his dagger anymore, and that weapon drops from his hand. “Musgly, could you come closer to my right hand?” Knowing what Dean is going to do, Musgly immediately moves clo

On the other hand, Dastan is pinned, losing his balance, with Johann almost driving an ethereal blade into his stomach. However, the appearance of Namsqeem, who flies between the two of them, saves Dastan from Johann's attack.Even though Dastan managed to distance himself, Johann again launches a kind of attack he has never used so far.Johann directs his right hand toward Dastan. Two green snakes in a similar form to his ethereal blade hurtle towards Dastan.“Go, and eat his mana!”Dastan puts on a block, but these two snakes crawl around his hands. One of the snakes bites Dastan in his neck, while the other one bites his chest. They don’t hurt him physically, but try to inflict poison with their corrupted mana.“These snakes?” Dastan tries to pull them away, but he can’t even touch them.Seeming to understand the charact

Dean looks so confident with his chance, while Maverick also feels confident that he can take back the old watch after killing Dean.After giving some thought, Maverick complies with Dean’s request. He takes out the old watch from his pocket, and throws it up so high, using it as bait to kill Dean.Seeming to know Maverick’s plan, Dean asks Namsqeem’s help to take the old watch, without needing him to move away from his position.“I’ll cover you from here,” Dean reassures, as he holds the black gem which Namsqeem once gave to him.“Like I need it,” says Namsqeem as he flies quite fast and catches the old watch.Maverick is aghast and releases one shot with his MAB rifle. Namsqeem immediately throws the old watch to Dean before he disappears into one tiny dot in the air. The next moment, he emerges from the black gem in Dean’s

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.
