Chapter 75
"Every five hundred years, some of the children of Primeus, the man who sealed Auraeus, reincarnate." Garghat's eyes slid open, his shadow a looming giant cast by the candlelight flickering in the vast hall. "Who would’ve thought the statue built in Primeus’s honor would also serve as a beacon to his bloodline’s? These reincarnates are then raised to reproduce, enabling us to breed future knights with their divine attributes." He paused, turning slowly to Alistair. "Thanks to this cycle, the Church has kept every supernatural threat in check since the Dawn Era."He rose slowly from his ornate chair, the light of the candles bending toward him like they feared to defy his presence. "But that has changed now that I am the Grand Elder." A smirk twisted his lips. "What's more, we were blessed with three of Primeus's children in this era: Xantrax, Odinson, and Veridan. Each of them is just as powerful as they were in the dawn era. Each is strong enough to hold their own ground against th

The dust settled, revealing a figure emerging from the wreckage that Elijah's force had created. "Pleased to make your acquaintance," the knight said, calmly brushing debris from his spotless white mantle. "The name is Xantrax. Cadet in the order of the holy court. I'm among the newest recruits in the D-Sector of the Knightwards."Elijah stood silent, head slightly tilted, a flicker of curiosity crossing his face as he observed the skinny knight."No need to look so edgy," Xantrax chirped, a slight, confident grin playing on his lips. "I just thought we'd get to know each other before we clash, at least."Elijah maintained his stance, wondering how the young knight before him could project such staggering confidence, even facing him."You'll regret it if you underestimate me." Xantrax raised his right hand, his fingers interlocking in a precise hand seal before his face. His left hand gripped his sword in a deliberate, low guard... ready to cut. His eyes snapped shut.Elijah narrowed

"You see," Alistair adjusted his long, dark leather coat, his smirk faintly illuminated by the setting sun. "The demons don’t want anything except to see humans in utter despair. They don’t care about hierarchy or politics… unless Auraeus is involved." His eyes flicked toward Elijah and Lilith. "I was able to gain their assistance with that condition." "Is that so?" Aurora's voice slipped through the shadows, cold and deadly, seemingly disembodied. "Perhaps I gave the demons too much credit." The crimson dust settled slowly, revealing her silhouette. Dangling in her hand, the head of the demon that had charged her, her figure now plain in sight, a thin line of blood dripping from her lips. "They never struck me as beings that would work as underdogs for skinwalkers." Alistair forced a grin, though a bead of sweat betrayed him. "Oi, oi, oi. That demon carried spiritual energy equal to a Noble vampire, you know?" His thoughts churned. Just how much stronger has she become in these ye
Chapter 72
"You are going to save my daughter, alright, Dylan?" Claudia slammed her hand on the conference table, her voice shaking with a fury born of fear.Dylan faced her, his expression a tight mask of frustration. "As the leader of the hunters, it's my responsibility to risk my life for my team, but that alone isn't enough to go against those things.""What do you mean?" she demanded.He turned to the administrators, gesturing wildly with his hands. "Those creatures were created by a single orb, just by touching it. And one of them was able to solo a noble vampire and make off with the relic without much effort. No offense, guys...""None taken," Fenris replied with a shrug."He wasn't talking to you, douche," Valen sneered.Dylan ignored them, his gaze fixed on Claudia. "According to Freya, there are at least ten of them. Going there with resolve alone is outright suicide. You've just sent our only chance of getting your daughter back packing.""Are you trying to bargain for them?" Victor

The hallway echoed with a single, firm voice. "Absolutely not!"The room was a stark contrast to the verdant world outside. Fluorescent lights hummed over a long, polished table, where the community's top brass, the administrators and executives, sat in a formidable line. Opposite them stood Palmer, Valen, Fenris, Max, and Dylan, an island of outsiders."If what you're saying is true," Claudia Draxen, the Chief Administrator, said with a voice like a guillotine's blade, "doesn't that mean we risk revealing this place to them when we bring the relics together here?""This is the best place to keep them!" Dylan countered, his face a mask of frustration. "They can't reach the orbs here.""You say that, but you've already brought some of them to us," Reginald Veynar, the Chief Administrative Assistant, said, his fingers steepled on the table. "What makes you so sure there aren't more of them...more than can breathe in a place that's supposed to be deadly to their kind?""Reginald has a po

"The vessel that measly guardian created with the relics is developing exceptionally fast even after absorbing three of them," Auraeus's voice, a chilling echo, resonated in Aurora’s mind. "I wonder how he'll do when he eventually goes against you."Aurora opened her scarlet eyes, her stare just as piercing as a needle. She reclined on her throne, a posture of languid power, an elbow resting on its arm, her chin lightly propped on her hand. Her long, silky dark hair spilled around her, a midnight cascade against the rich fabric of the chair. The faint glow of a lone oil lamp traced the sharp planes of her face, revealing an unsettling blankness in her expression, a stillness that transcended mere calm."Looks like you can now share your presence across multiple places at a time," she stated, her cold voice echoing back in her own mind."A little progress, but it's better than residing in the emptiness of those relics that damned brat sealed me in," Auraeus replied with a mental purr.
