Dawn breaks, dispersing the cold fog in Gishil Town, a small town in a mountainous area on the northern side of Gostrela province.It is so quiet here. Most of the residents have become vampires and are involved in the war.For the rest, either they died after receiving the curse of immortality, or were detained in concentration camps.It’s like a ghost town, with several crows inhabiting the few houses full of corpses. Only these crows make the city look a little lively with their joy.Until suddenly…Brakk!!!A city car explodes from inside, with one teenager blown out so hard until his back hits the metal fence of a house.Most of the front of the car has been destroyed with the roof gaping wide. Venera flips her bituminous wings, and then afloat before slowly coming to Florian.“Go get as much blood as you want, then come see me in Sanctity Ridge Tower,” she says before she slowly ascends higher.“You coward!” Florian grumbles, clenching his both hands in anger. “Let her go and fi

Once she gets downstairs, she finds everyone in the living room has been fallen asleep, the same with Camran.But there are still so many people ready with their weapons outside the house. Judging from the atmosphere, Daniela knows that they are preparing themselves for the worst situation.Of course, she doesn’t want them to kill Dean. With her mind so confused, she rushes back upstairs. And there, she finds Lady Shynar already unconscious lying on the floor.“Oh, no! Lady Shynar!”“She's been like that for a while,” says Musgly.“Why didn't you call me?” argues Daniela.“You think I can leave Dean alone?” replies Musgly.“He is still fighting. Why don’t you replace that old lady, and use your healing magic on him?” says Namsqeem.“But I can’t use my spirit energy,” replies Daniela with an awry face.“It doesn’t matter,” says Musgly. “The idea is only to help him calm so he can fight the curse himself. That’s all we’ve been doing so far.”“Okay! I’ll do what I can.”And so, Daniela t

Camran nods, accepting his older sister’s advice. He calls Amanet and Dastan to ask for their approval, and this is not the first time he brought this issue before them.And just like always, they never mind it. They admit, among the existing noble tribe leaders, Dean is the most worthy to receive this mandate.“I know I wouldn’t be able to handle it,” says Amanet. “I have faith in my strength. But you know, Amanet always went berserk when we let an apparition enter our bodies.”“What about you, Dastan?” asks Camran. “You often let those six apparitions enter your body, and you can still control your mind.”“I actually did it because I’m weak,” replies Dastan. “Miarnin could handle it too. We’ve tried it before a few times. There is no one more worthy than him. That's also why I want him to be the next king.”“The question now, will he accept it?” asks Amanet.“We have to convince him,” says Dastan. “He can’t run away now. There’s no other way.”Camran nods, and then gets up from the

All these Tetartos and Tritons are like fleas to Florian, just a waste of time. None of them are able to touch him, except for pieces of their flesh and blood spoiling his entire body.In fact, not all the vampires in this small town are intervening with Florian's path. Especially the Defteros who obtained the curse of immortality from him, and of course all the lower class vampires under them.It's not about loyalty. They have learned that when one high-class vampire dies, all those who received the curse of immortality from him will return to being ordinary humans.Like Samuel Bowman, who is currently in Medreisten. He has heard the news about Florian's rebellion, and is even now watching the chaos that occurred in front of the Sanctity Ridge Tower via his smartphone.“This mad kid! What’s he thinking? He selfishly dragged me into this madness, and now he's revolting?” he grumbles in aggravation.How can he not become aggravated? Whatever the final outcome of Florian's rebellion, no

Valery is not the only one in the chamber. Venera sits kneeling with a blank face on the left of the throne. On the right stands Catalin, Florian's closest friend for the past hundred years.At the front, there are four other members of the main family, with two of them having their bituminous wings on their back, looking so ready for a fight.Likewise with Florian, whose bituminous wings are still active, and his body is always shrouded in spirit energy.He has to keep exerting this spirit energy and also keeping his alertness at the highest to prevent Valery from taking control over his mind and body.It has drained his stamina a lot, and he has been drinking almost all his blood supplies. The two vials in his hands are the only blood supplies he has right now.“I'm sick of seeing your mask of innocence,” Florian croaks. “I know you were the one who killed my parents. Everything is just your plot to brainwash me, creating an image as a hero so that I will always see you as a savior.”
