Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 262 -
Not angry, but annoyed. That’s what Dean feels right now.When he woke up two days ago, it was this person's annoying face that greeted him full of hatred. Who knows where the hatred comes from?Dean is quite aware that without this person's help, he would have died by now. But still, that arrogant tone, the prejudice, and the condescending gaze...“Oh God! Why do I always meet people like this in my life?” he mutters, whining.It changes Zulfik’s facial expression. “What did you say?” he asks.“What?” replies Dean with an annoyed face.BAM!!!Zulfik slams the wooden bar in snapped, making dust fall from the cave ceiling which is held up only by the wooden logs supports.“Do you have any idea of your current situation?” he deplores menacingly.“I’ve faced death many times,” replies Dean before yawning. “Meeting you is nowhere near that experience.”Zulfik is fumed, with face already red with rage. He stands back a few steps, and then tells his friend to open the cage for him, while he

It is actually the old man Camran, just by himself, but no longer in his beggar outfit. He looks a bit more like a noble man now with a formal black suit, despite how old the suit is. But the jacket he currently wears seems like it was a handmade, out of a bear’s skin.Not just Camran, but there’s also Musgly with him. That spirit creatures looks so excited, hovering so close around Dean’s body before getting inside his dirty T-shirt. Well, he can’t hide there under such thin clothes, so he simply comes out soon after.“I’m glad you are okay now,” says Musgly. “You should be grateful that this man found you in the middle of the Great Deathly Plain. And it seems like he knows the old man Camran too.”“Amanet brought me here to see you,” says Camran.Dean averts his attention to the 274 cm tall giant man in front of him. “Are you Amanet? Why does your name sound so familiar to me? Hold on, wait! Isn’t that the name of one of the noble tribes in Yegristan?”“Yes,” replies Amanet.“And you

Dean clearly feels hatred in Amanet’s words. And somehow, he feels like he begins to see the glimpse of the cause of the civil war which sparked the revolution in this country about two decades ago.Even when he is climbing the tree to reach Amanet's house, all the residents in this small settlement slowly gather together, looking at him with curious faces, except for the three Amanet Warriors whom Amanet has introduced Dean to.And the two young Amanet men, Zulfik and Baurzhan, are still staring at Dean with their unfriendly gazes, despite they already know who Dean is.Especially Zulfik, he seems so displeased with Dean currently approaching Amanet’s house. The people here greatly respect their leader, and consider his residence a sacred place.Even though already introduced as a Miarnin, Dean is still considered an outsider by Zulfik. And it seems that Zulfik himself has inherited the hatred toward outsiders, the same hatred Amanet has.“She is inside,” says Amanet as he leads Dean

However, she, who always liked to argue heatedly with Dean, is now speechless. There is no way she would put forward any argument to refute it, because in fact she has accepted Dean's proposal at that time.After all, deep in her heart, Mary does have special feelings for Dean from the start. It is something so complicated to express, but she knows exactly what she feels.Everyone turns their attention to Dean. The Amanet people, women from the Miarnin tribe, and also people from the Dastan tribe, they stop talking to each other, and direct their attention to Dean, taking this matter so seriously.“Kid! I didn’t know you already had a wife,” utters Camran, baffled.“Well, we just married recently,” says Dean as he grabs Mary’s left hand, with Mary only able to show her awkward smile toward Camran.The old man Camran is still confused. He knows that not long ago Dean was still often mourning the loss of the girl he loved, Monica, who was buried in one of the cemeteries in Pine Hill, wh

Soon, three married couples from the Amanet tribe get up, and they hold hands with their respective spouses, holding face to face like they are going to dance. They slowly sway with some kind of rhythm, without having any music, revolving around Dean and Mary.“What are they doing?” asks Dean with a restrained voice.“This is what we do in wedding ceremonies,” says Camran as he takes his leave.Their big body build makes Dean and Mary look like kids in the middle of an adults' night party. Even with his recent growth, Dean only reaches 181 cm now, with Mary only about 1 cm taller than him.Feeling not comfortable to see their leader looking like a kid there, a few Miarnin women join the swaying dance, even without any male. But then, two men from the Dastan tribe come to Roselyn and Adrianne, and invite them to do the same thing. And so, more couples join the sway.Amanet is still not so happy with the idea of a leader of the noble tribe of Yegristan marrying an outsider. But he still

One man who looks like most normal men, the one who looks the most normal among them, an advocate named Teddy McDonald, immediately expresses his objection.“But, Valery! That man has killed Lina and Simon. He even killed Levi, who has been with us for more than a hundred years. And you still want to recruit that man? What is it that you see in him?”“Nothing?” replies Valery short before taking a seat on a chair specifically prepared for him at the end of the table. “I haven't even seen him yet.”“Then why?” asks another man with gray hair named Harley Conrad, a renowned scientist who was reported missing about 50 years ago. “Is his existence that important to our goals? I do not think so? There are still so many talented professional guardians we can recruit for that purpose.”Valery just slowly shakes his head, composedly, with a flat expression. Yet he doesn’t say anything, which makes Harley Conrad look so impatient.“So what is it you are expecting from him?”“You know it,” repl

In a class, at a vocational high school, Florian's arrival immediately makes the commotion of the students so quiet.It's not because of his appearance which is too young for someone who is over a hundred year old, but because he clearly looks like a kid from a noble family.Most of the male students in the class look sloppy, with rough and dull haircuts like ordinary street thugs. The neatest one is at least like a man who has been working part time for 9 hours and hasn't had time to go home.Yes, most of them look like adults passing their 20s, despite the fact they are all just teenagers. That’s how a hard life affects someone.Meanwhile, Florian's appearance in a neat uniform, with clean hair arranged so beautifully, with smooth skin like a celebrity in a beauty product advertisement, makes him such a contrast from the others.He really tries to look like a good kid. But will this endear him? Unfortunately, no!“Who is he?”“Are you sure he's a boy? He looks like a girl if you ask

He is completely clean again without the slightest stain. His hair is tousled and messy after the exertion of aura and mana. But only by shaking his head a few times, his hair is neat again, and he returns to class with an appearance that actually looks much cooler than before.Meanwhile, the girl named Venera has to continue to endure embarrassment, because some of the students nearby are still covering their noses. But Florian sits back down next to her without seeming bothered by that in the slightest bit.“Uh, I’m sorry!” says the girl.“Sorry for what?” replies Florian.“You must feel uncomfortable with my…”“I’ve experienced much worse than this,” Florian cuts her words. “And I’ve got used to something much smellier than rotten potatoes.”The girl turns her face to Florian out of interest. There she is surprised to find Florian is so clean. She is confused how he cleaned such a mess in a short time without leaving any traces.Not only her. The other students and the teacher are

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.
