It isn’t like he doesn’t have enough money to bid. He only needs one gem, not all of them. So he is a bit unsure about making a bid.“What now?” Dastan sighs. “Do you have 16 Million?”“I have, but it’s Mary's money,” Dean answers. “She had saved some of her money in a foreign bank before she ran away with me, and it can still be accessed.”“How much?” asks Dastan.Dean leans a little to Dastan before whispering it to him. “About 94 Million Estol.”It catches Dastan in surprise, though he immediately hides it. “Damn! I didn't know she was that rich.”Meanwhile, the bidding for the Azutime gemstone continues, and the price has started to reach 20 million Estol. But still Dean doesn’t make any offer.He is worried that if he used that much money in one transaction, it would attract attention from the bank and they would alert the Estuaria government.So far, no bounties for Mary have been seen circulating in Yegristan. It’s like the Estuaria government does not know for certain that Mar

Michelle Burris raises one of her eyebrows slightly, and then opens the car door, intending to leave the place even though she has not been waiting for 10 minutes. “Let's see how much they want it,” she says before ordering her men to take her back to Eimton. That car starts. There Dastan realizes that the woman is going to take her leave. He rushes to them while taking a brief look at his watch, noticing that it hasn’t even been 5 minutes since Dean left him. “Hey, wait!” But the car really leaves that place, hence Dastan fastens his steps after them. “Heeeey! We’ve made a deal!” His shouting attracts the attention of several people around him. Most of them are the people who took part in the auction, and they recognize him. They openly laugh at him with their silly faces as they walk away from that place. Dastan looks so annoyed. As he notices Dean coming toward him by carrying a bag, he immediately rushes back toward the truck. “Hey, what happened?” asks Dean as he fastens h

If it's just a matter of using mana to strengthen the body or creating a mana shield for protection, maybe that's something a norm in this country.But now, he finds someone who is able to concentrate mana on just two fingers, and then uses the two fingers to catch a bullet from a distance of less than 1 meter. And Dean did it like a movement in a reflex.This is a mana control on a level this bodyguard has never encountered in his life, making him gulp with his pale face.The gun simply drops from his hand without the man’s noticing. Hearing the gun dropping on the ground, only then is the man shaken from his fear a little.“Ho, how is that even possible?” mumbles the man. “Who are you?”“You know him,” says Dastan in Dean’s place. “He is the Legendary Dean Morton, the one Estuaria fears the most.”Tim steps back by instinct due to his fear. He has heard an urban legend about Dean’s reputation in the past.And indeed, most of them were created in an exaggerated manner, to worsen Dean

Dean looks confused, seeming so hard to believe it. The remnants of the war which ended 20 years ago are still there like it has never been touched.It's as if this country has never once tried to restore it. In fact, he believes that this place is so good and lush to support life.“Don’t they want to rebuild this city?” asks Dean.“It’s not that they don’t want it,” says Dastan. “They can’t!”Dean can even imagine how beautiful the city was in the past, with gardens on the sides of the roads, as well as green parks alternating between each housing block. Everything looks arranged with a great plan.However, most buildings are destroyed, covered by plants with various kinds of colorful flowers and leaves. He even finds several Manes hovering around in some green area.Dean sees a hill with giant rocks sticking out, quite green, covered with lots of trees. There are densely populated housing complexes arranged ascending height on the slope of the hill, in a roughly circular pattern up

Two men holding automatic rifles aim their weapons at Dastan and Dean. Dastan looks calm, except for Dean who immediately tries to control the situation.“Hold on! Wait! I only came for the Azutime Gemstones you’ve just stolen.”“What did you say?” The woman with the bow gun seems to be offended, before shouting out loud from one big rock where she is standing on. “You're accusing us of thieves? It's them who stole these gemstones from us.”Dean's face contorts in confusion. “Um, I’ll buy one of those gemstones from you then.”“No!” she denies. “It’s not for sale! After all, I can kill you two here, and get your money.”She doesn’t give Dean any chance as she immediately releases one shot. Dean startles, realizing how fast and powerful the arrow is.But his surprise isn’t that much, as he easily evades it simply by taking one side step.Blar!!!The arrow destroys the paving ground. Dean takes a little glance, realizing how powerful it is.“Oi, oi! That’s dangerous!”Dastan begins to l

That woman named Marvini doesn’t say a word. She can’t make a decision in this situation, as she sees Dastan begin knocking down her friends one by one, while Dean is easily toying with the rest.Not a sword, not staff or club, not even their full automatic rifle can do anything. Annoyed and impatient, Marvini gets down from the big rock while putting one arrow in her bow gun.“Hey! Move!” she warns.All her friends who are currently fighting Dean avert their attention, and realize that Marvini has channeled an abundant mana in her bowgun.“What the?”“Do you want to kill us?”Blue mana mixed with white aura of spirit energy gushes out so wild before the arrow leaves the bow gun.“Oh, she can also use spirit energy, huh?” mutters Dean, showing a little amazement.But Marvini’s friends are looking so scared at the moment. They know how dangerous this one move is. So, they simply jump away like trying to avoid a rocket.Zfff!!!The arrow flies so fast while spinning like a corkscrew, en

There those people see Dean’s crimson red hair. Most of them aren’t too surprised right now. They know that the wanted terrorist with the highest bounty has red hair.But Marvini looks so surprised, as she is so ignorant for the fact there’s still a man from the Miarnin tribe left.“You are from the Miarnin tribe?” asks Marvini, still finding it hard to believe.“That’s what they said,” replies Dean, rubbing his hair a little with his left hand. “I never met my parents. An Estuarian took me out of this country during the civil war.”Marvini squints with a contorted face, looking displeased at getting such a vague answer from Dean.“Unlike you, he is a pureblood from the Miarnin main family,,” says Dias. “It can be said he is the current leader of the Miarnin tribe now.”“Oh, she is also from the Miarnin tribe too?” asks Dean.Dias nods.“But her hair…”Yes, despite not having crimson red hair, this woman is also from the Miarnin tribe. She is a halfblood, coming from halfblood parents

Noticing someone’s coming from behind, Dastan stops talking and turns back. It's Dean, who is already quite anxious about his kid's condition at home.“Dastan! Is there anything else you want to do here?” asks Dean.Quite understanding the situation, Dastan simply pats Dias’ back once before taking his leave.“Sorry! I have to leave now!”“Wa, why? Stay the night here,” Dias offers. “I've told the others to prepare a banquet for you.”“No! We came here looking for Azutime gemstone for a reason,” says Dastan as he keeps walking away, and invites Dean to leave.“For a reason? Did something happen?” asks Dias as he rushes to them with anxiety.“It’s my son,” says Dean. “He keeps getting a fever every time he gets uncomfortable by something.”“Hold on! What?” Dias looks confused.He is well aware regarding the unique condition of the pureblood babies from the main family of the Miarnin tribe.And the fact Dean going all the way from Echaydor looking for Azutime gemstone has confirmed his

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.
