Unlike the previous prime minister, Samuel Bowman is someone who has a military background. No matter how great his abilities are, he still employs quite a lot of bodyguards around his house.“Spencer! You have a lighter?” asks one guard, coming to his friend by showing a cigarette between his fingers.The friend named Spencer takes out his lighter. Meanwhile, that one guard brings one end of the cigarette towards the lighter, with the other end remaining at his lips.Crik! Crik, crik!!!Spencer finds it difficult to light the lighter, and tries to shake it for a few times before doing another attempt.“Did you see the guests who came tonight?” says Spencer opening a conversation. “They are all great people with special abilities. Most of them are top rank professional guardians, and the rest are former soldiers who have joined in several great wars in the past.”“Well, sometimes I think, why does Samuel Bowman employ people like us,” replies the man, taking the unlit cigarette from h

A year has past…The port city of Krago, which is usually busy with tourists, has looked deserted in recent weeks.All the tourist sites are deliberately closed due to renovation projects. However, for more than a month, there has been no visible construction activity at all in those places.Even most hotels, which usually accept bookings from foreign travelers via online, inform that all their rooms have been occupied, even though they almost have no visitors.For some reason, the city government also limits the maximum number of ships at the port, and only allows ships carrying goods.In fact, Krago doesn’t have an airport. The harbor is the main entry point for foreigners to visit the city.Meanwhile, in a large shopping center which is now almost like a ghost town, a man is running panting with his pale face.Every now and then, he looks back as if he is being chased by a demon. He then hides behind a trash can in a narrow dark alley, and hurriedly takes out his cell phone.“Kosha

Meanwhile, two mysterious people are observing the bullying from the rooftop of a building, several hundred meters away from that square.Both of them wear a kind of long cloth covering their bodies like a blanket, with a scarf covering their hair, and another scarf covering their mouth and nose.They are like vagabonds who have just passed through a desert, with their dusty cloth looking quite dull.Even though only part of their faces are visible, it is quite easy to tell that one of them is a man with short black hair, and the other one is a woman with eyeglasses, having long brown hair which is not fully covered by the scarf, blowing in the wind.The man has a big broad sword covered in bandages at his back, while the woman has a crossbow hanging on her left side.“That unique self-healing ability, and the pseudo-immortality,” mutters the woman. “They must be the vampires he talked about.”“It does look troublesome,” says the man. “But their fighting abilities are not that great.

After healing themselves too often, with the loss of an arm, in the end one of them runs out of mana and spirit.That one vampires falls with his body emitting smoke. It's no longer to regenerate, but it is his bituminous liquid which is evaporating after there is nothing to bind it.This catches the attention of the other Tritons. Kosha and Zandhos also stop the bullying, and find the body of that one Triton decomposing in a high rate.“Oh, finally someone died,” says Zandhos.Kosha glances and observes the faces of those vampires one by one. Despair and fear are clearly visible in them.This is the first time for these people to see one of their own rotting so quickly like that, which slowly brings fear into their minds.“Am I going to die like him?” mutters one of them, before turning to look at his stumped arm. “No, I don’t want to die! Somebody, help me get my hand back!”Unfortunately, these Tritons have been completely unaware that their mana has been seeping out and evaporatin

Meanwhile, the two mysterious hunters still remain on the rooftop of the building, witnessing an event that will determine the fate of humanity in the future.“Should we join them?” asks the man.“Don’t be stupid!” the woman denies. “None of them knows who we are. We might become targets from both parties.”She keeps watching from above, focusing her attention on the one Triton who is being YOLO, a bit separated from the Tetartos.He is Jaeden Wilcox, the mafia boss of the Sharkfin clan. This one man is quite skilled at fighting using katana, having smooth slashing movements, nimble and strong.Despite being alone fighting so many Krago citizens, he hasn’t had any injury so far. The number of his victims continues to increase, until it is stopped when he starts confronting Zandhos.And it seems like Zandhos knows this person quite well. How can he forget, because this middle-aged man is the one who killed his father in the civil war 25 years ago.“I’ve been waiting for this day,” utte

The front of the car sinks to the ground, with its back lifting upwards just as the female hunter's fiery shot comes with powerful force of mana mixed with heat which is also ignited by the oxygen in the air.And then…Boom!!!The car explodes after its bottom part is hit by the fiery shot. A few moments later, Jaeden crawls out of the car, still alive with a body covered in thick smoke as all his fatal wounds healed at a high rate.“Namsqeem! Let’s begin the two-link possession,” says Dean.Namsqeem seeps into the man’s body. Jaeden tries to reject the possession, but he is too weak to reject it. After that, Dean holds the man’s head, and some sparks of lightning occur around them.The male hunter appears and he looks so annoyed, to find his prey has been snatched by someone else. He rushes to Dean in silence and delivers a powerful blow using his knuckle from behind.“At least, say Hi first, motherfucker!”“No, wait!” The female hunter gets down from the rooftop to stop her partner.

A few days later, still in Krago…Several important figures gather at the mayor's house. There are Kosha, Zandhos, and their leader from the Dastan Tribe, Nazer Azamatov. Meanwhile, Dean is alone as the only remaining man from the Miarnin tribe.Near them, there is Zamir Ibragimov, the leader of the Madiyar tribe, accompanied by one man from his tribe. There are also two men from Zalfari named Joshua and Delgado who represent Camran, while the old man himself remains at Zalfari.There is also Amanet who is accompanied by his son. These two giants look so dominant because of their large size.Then there are three from the Yarzhan tribe representing their leader who can’t attend the meeting. And then, the host, Elian Korey, the mayor of Krago himself, who is the leader of the Erzhan tribe.Among those present, only Dean, Amanet and his son, Zulfik, stand out with the unique characteristics of their respective tribes.The rest are half bloods, except for Nazer Azamatov, the leader of the

Namsqeem then provides a brief description of similar conditions that occur in Estuaria. Not completely the same, but worse.“I found them almost everywhere,” he says. “From rich people, public figures, politicians, to street thugs. Cases of missing people. It seems like they want to change you all to be like them. Maybe not all of you, because they still need human blood.”Those who attend this meeting, more or less, already know about Estuaria's involvement in establishing The Democratic State of Yegristan.After receiving this information from Namsqeem, they can’t ignore the possibility that they will wage a war against Estuaria once more.“Is this the reason for your betrayal toward Estuaria?” asks one of the representatives from the Erzhan tribe to Dean.Dean shakes his head. “I’ve never betrayed them.”“They only see his existence as a threat,” says Dastan, without revealing the real reason behind Dean’s issue with Estuaria. “Because of that, they hunted him down by giving all th

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.
