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

It’s actually Charlie’s wife. Florian comes to her, and nonchalantly talks to the foster mother with a peaceful smile.“You’ve treated me so well this whole time. I’m so grateful for the chance to experience how it feels to be a son in a normal family. But I have to leave now. Thank you for everything!”He simply walks toward the front door, leaving Charlie’s wife in confusion. But then, he stops by the door, and looks back at Charlie.“If you really love your family, you better take them out of Efari. The blessing you received is actually a curse for some people.”Soon after he gets out of that house, he spreads his bituminous wings while jumping so high, and then takes his leave, intending to head back to Medreisten.However, before really leaving Kadena, he takes the time for a moment to visit Venera. He is only afloat in the air, stalking the girl from outside the window.It attracts the girl’s attention like she feels his presence. She drops her pen and leaves her homework, rushi

He realizes he has completely misunderstood these people.Previously, he felt their unique vampire aura, and that made him think that they were just street thugs who couldn't hide their unique aura like most Tetartos.But no! Now Dean understands where all their evil intentions and hatred come from. They really hate him because of the race issue.That one man's hatred for the purebloods is immense, and it can be seen in all the attacks he launches at Dean.Over time, his slashes lost their touch. His sword technique begins to become rough due to anger and hatred, making it easier for Dean to read them.“Hey, hey! Control yourself!” Dean advises as he calmly avoids the man’s sword.“Shut up!” the man snaps before delivering a horizontal slash.This time, even though he is still so mad, he uses the same technique of manipulating the mana blade that he has previously used.Again, it hits Dean, but only a slight scratch on his cheek. The wound is now emitting haze, and slowly closing.Som

Whether what he said is true or not, Dean accepts Johann's invitation. Besides, he's not alone. There is Namsqeem with him at the moment.“How did you know I was in this city?” Dean asks.“Evie Espinoza,” replies Johann. “I learned that she and her daughter moved to this city. I know quite a bit about the situation in Dildior. It's not surprising that they decided to move out. But I'm curious, why Krago?”“Just because of that, you immediately knew that I was here?” Dean expresses his doubt.“Not many people are aware of what is actually happening in Estuaria,” replies Johann. “If you weren’t the one who convinced them to move out, who would? I even had a fight with my family to force them to come here.”Dean chuckles a little. “Then, why Krago?”“Because there are you and your people here,” answers Johann. “I know this western region of Yegristan is the last place those vampires will infiltrate.”Johann leads Dean to a certain bar. The bar is so empty without any visitors. But Johann

Most of those in the room follow their brief conversation with confusion. Even Albert Lawson no longer cares about his drink, and changes his sitting position toward Zamira and Namsqeem.Apart from Aliana, the others are quite able to recognize that it is Nimeza language, even though they don’t really understand what those two are saying. But this is the first time they ever see people casually communicating using it.Except for Prof. Nicholson, who has been with Zamira for quite a long time, he is quite proficient in Nimeza language to some degree.“Hey, kid!” Nicholson calls. “Why don't you put down your sword first, and let's talk!”Looking uninterested, Dean ignores Prof. Nicholson's invitation, and keeps holding the katana. He doesn’t have the scabbard at the moment, but at least he isn’t pointing the sword at them.“I don't plan to stay here for long,” he replies. “If you have something to say, just make it brief before I lose my ability to suppress the urge to kill that man.”He

The declaration made by the mayor of Krago has become a global topic. It’s also about the issue of humanism which he also made into one of the reasons behind their separatist movement.The three provinces on the western side of Yegristan have now completely cut ties with the central government of the Democratic State of Yegristan.Mespein has closed all access from their neighboring province, Gostrela, which is on the eastern side. Whether through the city of Dolis or Teles, they built guard posts on the inter-provincial roads on the border.At least, before this shutdown, those who supported the re-establishment of the Yegristan kingdom had carried out a mass exodus.Except for one last wave…“Sorry, it's going to hurt a little, but we have to do it,” says a border guard, before making a shallow cut on a man's palm.It is really just a small cut. After that, the guard examines the wound carefully. And then…“He is clear!”He lets that one man in, and asks another one from the queue t

Uneasy and restless, Zamir leaves in a rush intending to meet his daughter. But Dean immediately holds his hand.“Wait! I want you to understand,” says Dean, trying to emphasize. “Someone could have given the curse on her without her concern. But if it is true that she is a vampire, her existence could still endanger us. She will still have to consume blood.”Zamir takes a deep breath to calm his mind. He knows his own daughter well, and believes she is not a bad girl.After getting a bit calmer, he gives a nod, and then walks away with more composure. He takes his daughter away from his wife, leading her to some quiet place away from everyone else.Dean still feels uncomfortable, worrying that something would happen to Zamir and his daughter. So he follows them, and observes the situation by taking his distance.“Namsqeem! You can tell when someone is lying, right?”“A kind of,” replies Namsqeem.“I don't think Zamir ever taught his daughter how to use or control her mana,” Dean specu

A moment later, Florian disappears, but reappears again elsewhere. “You should know, except for that one specter over there, none of us are actually here. This is just my consciousness inside Venera's mind. Now, three consciousnesses inside one body. Do you think this will be good for her?”“Dean, he is right,” Namsqeem affirms. “If he keeps trying to block us, it will ruin the girl’s mind. We better get out of here.”Not long after that, Dean's consciousness returns to his body and he moves his hand away from Venera's head. Namsqeem also comes out, and Venera slowly collapses.“Venera!” Zamir rushes to her and tries to wake her up.“Don’t force it!” says Namsqeem. “She is fine. Let her rest!”In the end, there isn't much Dean can learn from Venera's memories. But at least, he has seen the face of the guy who put the curse on Venera.It puts him into a deep thought. When he dug into Jaeden Wilcox’s memory a while ago, he didn’t get this kind of rejection. In fact, he believes that Jaed

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.
