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

One of the other doors to enter the western region of Yegristan is by sea, which is in the port city of Krago. The harbor itself is located in a bay formed by two capes whose ends almost meet.The distance between the ends of the two caps is only about 100 meters. Even that is also closed by a large gate, which becomes the entrance to Krago port.There is no other port, because most of the edges of the land in this western region are high and steep cliffs from a range of high hills.This bay looks more like a stronghold now. They still let merchant ships anchored, but under strict guard and inspection, with fully armed officers like soldiers in a war.And of course, they also use a similar inspection method in Teles and Dolis in making sure no vampires enter the city.“Oh, isn't this the same method we used in the Illuminati club?” says Sara in a muffled voice, whispering to Daniela who is also in the queue behind her.“I bet this must be Dean's idea to identify the vampires,” replies

Meanwhile, at the square in front of the Holy Belestia Palace, the leaders and a handful of representatives of the noble tribes are having an important meeting.There are several tents from each tribe's representatives there, and indeed this meeting has been going on for almost a week.They have discussed various important matters regarding the re-establishment of the Yegristan kingdom; security matters, preparations for war, and also regarding funding for the rebuilding of Zalfari.There is one most important thing left, which until now they still haven't been able to decide. Who will be the leader?Clearly, everyone knows, whoever is elected here, can be said to be the next king. And each of them also needs to fight for the fate of their respective tribes.Except for Camran...“As the only representative of the Camran tribe present,” the old man Camran leaves his seat and steps forward. “I will give up my right to be elected.”He stands near a small bonfire in the center of the circ

“Wait!” says Camran. “Madiyar has also received two votes from others. And just like what Miarnin did, he also has the right to give them to someone else.”“That’s right. He could just give those two votes to me,” says Elian Korey.“I’ll give them to Dastan,” says Zamir.“I’ll also use my two votes that I kept earlier, and give them to Dastan,” says Teagan.“What is it now, Dastan? Are you going to reject them too?” asks Amanet.Dastan takes a deep breath, imagining the burden that he must bear. He gives a nod composedly, accepting the votes he receives, and letting Camran to announce the result for the election.But suddenly, Elian Korey gets up, like trying to abandon the meeting. “I have to get back to Krago!”“Erzhan!” Camran calls. “We already have the result, and it’s still valid without having you here.”“Whatever! I have to protect my people,” says Elian Korey as he walks away.He leaves, followed by his fellow Erzhan people. The others can only glance at them with displeased

“Hey, where are you going?” calls a man.But Venera doesn't say anything, and gets into one department store.“What the hell is wrong with her?”The two men from the truck see the enemy troops from a distance. Not wanting to take any chances, they just take the little girl away.Inside the department store, Venera hides under the counter desk, terrified hugging her knees. She is always shocked while covering his ears for every time the thunderous sound of enemy weapons boom wrecking the city.The dark night sky occasionally becomes bright because of the blue light of the mana blasters fired by the MAB rifles.Likewise, the deafening sound of a series of shots from submachine guns makes her shiver in fear.Something strange occurs, something she had never experienced before. Her perception becomes so sharp.She begins to feel the sinister emotion approaching, as the enemy troops cross the street in front of that department store.The sound of war is getting close, shouting from soldiers

But the situation is a little different at another point not too far away. Not many troops led by Madiyar are adept at using mana, while they have to fight a horde of low class vampires.“Keep shooting!” Madiyar shouts out loud, reinforcing the faith in his men’s heart. “They may seem immortal, but you still can take them down with your weapons!”Those Tetartos keep butchering people despite the bullets hitting them. A few of them are down after getting so many hits.But it doesn't take too long before they get back up and start slaughtering their enemies again. The curse of immortality not only makes them durable, but also strong.Each swing of their swords is capable of cutting a human body with just one stroke. And they don’t look exhausted at all after slaughtering quite a lot of people.“I don't give a damn with your noble blood!”“We are the best race of humankind now!”“We are strong! We are immortals!”Just two seconds after that one Tetarto mentioned about being immortal, his

Neda returns after escorting a group of civilians to the west side. Not alone, but he is accompanied by Kosha, Zandhos, and Fardad.Their running suddenly slows down, and then they walk while observing the gore sight around them.They know this is war. But this is the first time they encounter such a terrifying sight, where pieces of vampire body parts are scattered everywhere with the streets already wet with pooled blood.“Maan! Even in my worst nightmare, I’ve never seen something like this,” utters Fardad.“Just try to get used to it,” says Kosha. “You have to make sure to cut them to pieces so they won’t come hunting you back.”Lightning rumbles, and the sky begins to drizzle, making the red color of the pool of blood less intense. Those pieces of vampires’ body parts start decomposing at high rate“Let’s meet the others,” says Zamir, inviting them to go to Amanet and his men.They move south, and find that the battle between Amanet's men and the enemy is still taking place.Aman

He only became Triton because he happened to receive the curse of immortality from Samuel Bowman, who is a Deftero. Not that he would bow before another Defteros beside Samuel.“I could just wipe all of your soldiers if I wanted too.” Jacoby Wilkerson walks slowly towards Charlie Fox, before standing face to face in front of him.Charlie collects his courage to talk back. “If you are really that great, then why don’t you go there and get that man yourself?”“Because we need him alive,” replies Jacoby Wilkerson. “That’s why we send wave of troops after wave of troops to wear him down. Only after he is weakened, then we will step in to capture the man.”“Heh, such a cowardly way just to deal with one person,” Charlie sneers.“I don’t like it either,” replies Jacoby Wilkerson before turning away. “If only I were allowed to kill that man, then I’d have already killed him by now.”Currently they are sending the third battalion. With this, they have sent more than a thousand infantry, with

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.
