The two fighter jets from Estuaria have just reached the Acrary southern border just before noon, after more than three hours of flight from Medreisten.Meanwhile, on land, troops led by Antonin Tavitian and Harley Conrad have difficulty breaking through Dastan's defenses at Hullback Town, a small town on Zalfari's northernmost border.This is the only entrance to Zalfari from the east, with only one roadway in the Grotie Hill. It is at this point that Dastan focuses his defense by building a simple fortress on the edge of the hill, which has now also been strengthened by reinforcements from Estar.“Not yet? Why are they taking so long? I've lost all my lovely drones!”Harley Conrad, even with his advanced mechanical suit equipped with two mana powered jets which allow him to fly, still isn’t able to get near the fort.He is constantly bombarded by lightning bolts, as well as fireballs casted by Madiyar and Mary. There are only these two mages who can do magic in the rebel group, but
Just as those two fighter jets are busy hunting Namsqeem, Musgly comes to one of them and lands on its left wing.[Oh, shit! There’s another one!][It looks different. What is this thing exactly?]The pilot witnesses how Musgly destroys that left wing. The two men in the cockpit press a certain button, and are immediately ejected out of the plane. Just as their parachutes open, Musgly comes and tears their parachutes apart.“No! Fuck! Hey, Winston! Help!”“Calm down! We will be fine! They said we are immortals!”“But, are you sure we are going to survive this?”“I’ve witnessed it myself! It might be painful, but we will be okay.”That’s what he said, before his head is separated from his body. Musgly catches the head, and then throws it away, before he comes to the other one and starts cutting him to pieces.The two men on the other fighter jet notice their falling comrades. Meanwhile, they are still having difficulty shooting at Namsqeem.It's not that they can’t hit their target, bu
He stays there as a support, sharing his battle and endurance auras, while the other one, the blue aura, is an aura which covers the three of them with a strong mana shield.These auras enable Nicholson and Fritz move much faster than their natural speeds, and they don't need to bother controlling mana for protection, so they can concentrate on attacks. After all, all these vampires are extremely exhausted.However, some of them still have MAB rifles which still have enough mana stored in their weapons. And they only need to fire mana projectiles from a distance, without relying too much on their own physical strength.But…“Why don't you taste my bullets first?”Fritz channels more mana into his two revolvers, and releases two shots at the same time. He shoots straight at the two incoming mana projectiles, with bullets that have been strengthened by mana as well.The two bullets disperse the mana projectiles, and continue to shoot towards the two vampires. And…Blarr!Blarr!!They ex
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.
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
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
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
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
