Florian’s face turns a bit gloomy, and somewhat hopeless. He just realizes how pointless it is trying to stop Valery.“I’ve tried to kill him,” he says as he approaches Venera. “But I couldn’t do anything.”“I know,” Zamira affirms. “As long as you are under his curse, you can never confront him.”Florian gently holds Venera’s head, and soon, the girl gasps and startles. She looks so clueless, with a pale face and tears welling in her eyes.The moment she recognizes Florian, she immediately hugs him, like a frightened baby looking for protection.Florian knows Valery can control Venera again and takes her from him. But at least, he knows there is another way he can do to free Venera from the curse.“It’s okay! You are safe now! Let’s get away from here.”He then invites Venera to follow him, heading to the broken part of the wall. He spreads his wings, intending to leave that tower by flying.“Florian!” Zamira calls.“Thank you for freeing me from Catalin's ice cage. But I can’t help y

Even though they still look as scary as usual, none of them release their war cry like the old time. And Dean doesn't feel any evil intentions from them at all.They stay there, as if they are waiting for something. Soon, their leader, Erkin, appears from the darkness of the forest, stepping forward while patting the few comrades he passes, and then greets Dean.“Dean! Morton!” he greets, in stammered words.“Oh? You can speak? And you even know my name?” replies Dean with a little surprise.“Live! Peace! Eat! Humans! No more,” says Erkin.Everyone looks confused, unable to grasp what Erkin is trying to convey. Later, a female hypfixasu, Erika, conveys Erkin’s words fluently from behind the pack.“We are very grateful because you have freed us from the shackles of Albert Lawson. We just want to live in peace, and will never bother humans anymore. So, please! Stop hunting us.”There Dean begins to understand. It seems they have misunderstood, thinking that his presence there is to hunt

Cresta comes to Dean, and draws his right palm closer to Dean’s heart. Dean’s entire body begins to be shrouded by abundant spirit energy.He intends to cleanse Dean’s blood from the curse. But somehow, he realizes that Dean is still trying to push out that corrupted energy by instinct, even in an unconscious state.And soon, a small amount of bituminous liquid leaks out of his mouth and nose, evaporating along with some amount of mana and spirit energy.“There’s not much left,” says Cresta. “I didn’t even need to do anything but fill his vessel a bit with my spirit. He is quite skilled at maintaining the purity of his mana and spirit energy, so that they are not easily polluted by the dark corrupting energy.”“Yes! He has thrown out quite a lot of that dark corrupting energy before,” says Namsqeem.“Impressive! The curse is much stronger than the previous one, and he could reject it! No one has done it so far. Anyway, who put the curse on him? Was it Valery?”“No, it was someone else

Starting to understand the problem, Dean can’t help but have a silly smile on his face. “I don't care if you want to kill them. But are you sure? There are so many of them!”“Erkin! Want! Revenge! Give! Erkin! Permission!”“Permission? Sigh! Look! They are not my friends! They are my enemies,” says Dean.“Enemies? They! Human!”Somehow, this one hypfixasu does not fully understand the complexity of social between humans.“Well! Something like me and Albert Lawson! You got it?”Dean takes his face away, and begins to rub his head in a dilemma.He has something urgent with Nimeza’s core. But this issue isn't just about the Estuaria soldiers who seem to want to attack Efreilor.There is a risk that these people could discover the location of Nimeza's grave by accident if he just ignores them.“Okay, I’ll help you get your revenge. How many friends do you have here?”“Numbers? Six! Hundred! Seventy! Two!”“Oh, God! That many?” Dean pats his forehead, not expecting these hypfisaxus have gr

In reality, Dean is still doubtful, with a fear that is quite difficult for him to describe. And again, the faces of the wife and son he would leave behind resurface in his mind.But this is a risk he has to take, and so he activates the antique watch again to open the path to enter Nimeza’s grave.“Let’s go!” he invites.They head to the door which leads to the underground tunnel. As soon as everyone gets down there, he readjusts the hand clocks to 4, 8, and 12.The entrance door is closed, but the underground tunnel is still illuminated by the glowing Nimeza inscriptions on the wall.“Could there be some kind of trap here?” asks Kosha observing his surroundings.Shynar reads one verse, and it’s just some wise quote about life. There’s nothing special about it. Until suddenly…“So, you’ve finally made up your mind?” says someone in Nimeza language.It’s actually Miarnin coming to them, Dean’s ancestor, representing his brothers to welcome Dean.Somehow, Dean always feels so familiar w

Impatient or not, Valery is now really out on the field. He takes part in the war with Tritons and Tetartos in Dolis, a city located in the southern part of Meispein.Unlike Teles, Dolis is a metropolitan city which has a large area. It directly borders Krago to the south, and Acrary province on the west.If they could take over this city, both Zalfari and Krago would be in a difficult situation. But sadly, Elian Korey, the mayor of Krago, doesn’t send any back-up to defend Dolis.Since the disappointing election, he has cut any communication with Zalfari. He lets Dastan and his friends protect Mespein themselves.However…“Finally! The soldiers from Efreilor are coming!”“Don’t lose hope yet!”“Get back to your position!”“We have to drive them away!”Yes, there are still some troops coming from Krago and other cities of Efreilor province. But their arrival is based on their own initiative, after a long bickering with their mayors and governor.Not only armed soldiers, but there are a

Neda has also realized this situation. But he just shakes his head with a firm expression on his face, looking so affirm to just ignore those people.“You are asking me to just abandon them?” asks Zamir with a disbelieving face. “What if it was your own family they are taking away? Would you abandon them too?”“There’s nothing we can do,” says Neda. “You will only sacrifice more lives. We will save them later. Believe me, they won’t kill those people. They need them for their blood stocks!”Zamir still looks so clueless. Even if they have to retreat now and try it later, he doesn’t think it will be much different.Impatient, Neda snatches the radio from Zamir's shoulder, and gives the order to all his friends to retreat.Those rebel warriors gradually retreat. There are those who are still fighting, either with their swords, or using submachine guns from a far. But this is simply to give others a chance to help any wounded friends to get away.It turns out there are two foreign journa

As soon as Valery finishes with the bite, Zulfik immediately groans before he collapses in pain. And Valery, his expression is so cold with a condescending gaze.“How shallow it is, letting a woman who already has a husband, fill your head,” he sneers.It's quite strange indeed, for Valery to give a curse that he considers a blessing, to someone whom he considers weak and low. But of course he has short-term goals for this.“If you want her that bad, why don’t you turn her into your puppet? There’s a risk that she may die by the curse because she is no longer a virgin. But you are not going to have her either way.”He then glances around, noticing the few rebel warriors who are still there witnessing what he has just done to Zulfik.As if not wanting those witnesses to ruin his plan, he spreads his wings and then hunts them one by one.Their scream of pain begins to break the silence, before it is interspersed by Harley Conrad’s robotic drones’ Gatling guns.In less than two minutes,

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.
