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
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
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
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
“Hey, young man! Is your problem so big that you don't want to be kind enough to give alms?”Those harsh words from the beggar shake Dean’s attention, and his face immediately turns so sour. Not because he is stingy. But he himself is just a poor person who lives in someone else's house.“If you help the needy, someday the universe will help you when you need it the most,” continues the old beggar.Dean sighs once, and starts rummaging his pocket. He takes out a few pieces of coins, the only thing he has at the moment.“Here! That’s all I have,” says Dean, intending to put the coins into the beggar’s empty can. “Maybe you should start helping others too, so the universe helps your situation.”“I did! And now the universe repays me through you. Hehehe,” replies the beggar half joking.But then, the beggar’s attention is attracted to Dean’s unique bracelet.“The heavenly stone?” he mumbles.“What?”“This bracelet! How did you get it?”“Don’t you start accusing me of being a thief now, o
But at least, the girl is kind enough to persuade Jay to leave. So the man declines his intention to cut Dean’s hand.However, he takes the chance to kick Dean’s chin from below as he walks toward his men. It knocks Dean’s head to the back, even shaking his brain which makes him unable to move for a moment.Dean's brain keeps questioning why life treats him so cruelly like this. He believes he never did anything wrong to anyone so far. He only intends to protect Monica's feelings, not wanting her to be hurt by this womanizer.On the other hand, Jay only becomes even more amused with Dean's predicament. Seeing the weak struggling only emphasizes his status as a man with power and authority.“Peels off his tattoo,” says Jay, whispering to one of his bodyguards before leaving.He walks away by wrapping his arm around Monica’s hips. He laughs so wild like a champion has just won his prize. Monica just looks back at Dean with a bit of sympathy, but no more than that.One of the big dudes s
Dean has been living with this family for more than three years now. But this is the first time Eliza feels this kind of feeling toward him.Unlike Dean who is still in the second year of academy, Eliza is not a teenager anymore. She had been dating a few men before this. Yet she still doesn’t understand why she gets this weird feeling.Dean only puts on short pants and a shirt, without wearing any underwear. He just knows, when Mrs. Lawson calls him, he has to go to her as soon as possible.“Where’s she?” he asks, after finding Eliza still standing near the door.“She… She is waiting for you in my grandma’s room,” replies Eliza, before walking away in a rush while hiding the blush in her face.“Damn! This is so awkward,” mumbles Dean, scratching his head while walking toward the end of the hallway on that same floor. “Should I apologize? How am I going to approach her after this?”He reaches the room of Eliza’s grandma. The door is wide open, but there’s no one inside. He simply knoc
The campus itself is about an hour away from the house. That’s what it takes to get there with a car. If Monica leaves without him, there’s no way he can make it by himself by pedaling a bike. “Monica, wait!” he calls as he halts the car at the front. It makes the car stop, and the driver immediately scolds him with an annoying face. “You stupid! I almost hit you!” “I’m sorry, Sir!” says Dean as he gets into the car. “Never do that again.” Monica glances coldly at him a bit. But then she immediately looks away by raising her chin high. Dean doesn’t like this kind of cold treatment. This is simply not the Monica he used to know. In the past, when they were still living in the orphanage, Monica would always cling to Dean, so afraid of losing him. Even more than that, when her parents came to take her home three years ago, Monica insisted on giving conditions to also adopt Dean if they wanted to take her back home. But as time went by, as she became more accustomed to living with
