Chapter 65: The Envoy and the Departure
The ground of Ar’dazkraal cracked and smoked under Edward’s boots. He had walked battlefields before, but this land itself felt like one, as if it had never known peace. Volcanic ash hung heavy in the air, mixing with the sulfurous stench of molten rock flowing through distant rifts. Every step he took reminded him that this was not a place humans—or even most vampires—would dare to tread. It was the natural domain of demons.Edward recognized the work of demon terraforming by just glancing around.At the edge of a blackened plateau, soldiers waited. Almost no different from humans, if not for their colored skin and racial traits, the demons parted as Edward advanced. Their yellow eyes followed him with a mix of suspicion and hunger, but none dared interfere.At the far end of the plate
Chapter 64: Beyond One’s Limits
The Dimensional Corridor was chaos. The distorted void hissed and warped, as though reality itself had torn open and bled shadows. Edward and the two surviving vampires flew out of the rift guarded by Francis. The smell of scorched flesh and dimensional residue clung around them.Francis walked through them without slowing. His cold gaze swept over the survivors—pathetic, broken, yet still alive. He paused only once, looking toward the abyssal tear, contemplating whether to let it snap shut or to dash into it and find Veyra himself.Edward knelt before him, his body trembling with exhaustion, his arm barely attached. “Your Grace… Lady Veyra escaped.”Francis said nothing for a long moment. The tension was worse than anger. When he finally spoke, his voice was measured, but each word cut deep. “Our prey walked into death’s maw and came out breathing. You call that a hunt?”No one dared to answer.Francis ordered. “Tend to your wounds—what remains of your strength will be needed soon.”
Chapter 63: Returning to Bluefeather Duchy
The road back to Bluefeather Duchy smelled of dust and coal smoke. The Blue Devils moved as a long ribbon—pack animals, carts loaded with trophies, and the guild’s banner flicking in the wind. Magnus rode near the front, face folded into a frown that didn’t match the ease of his stride. Behind him, the elites clustered in a loose circle, their voices low. Magnus had asked for a private discussion while they rode.Orthur, older and quieter than most, tapped the brittle surface of the goblin leader’s frozen body where it lay wrapped and secured on a cart. Even in its shriveled state, the corpse had an odd sheen, like dried leather polished with frost."Someone drained him clean," Orthur said. "Not natural. I’ve fought monsters before that leave a body hollowed by rot. This is different. This is blood taken with skill."
Chapter 62: Handling the Trouble
The sound of a man screaming caused everyone to freeze in place. The scream had such anguish that it made one’s hair stand on end. Even Stein and Irina, who were heading back to their carriage, couldn’t help turning back in shock.By the counter, one of the guards was choking in the vice grip of a woman in adventurer gear. Caroline, who had passed out from drinking, was lifting the guard by the neck like a chick. With a flick of her wrist, she sent him flying to the side, crashing into a few tables, unmoving upon contact with the ground.The nobles’ eyes narrowed slightly. This guard had been one of their elite men; anyone who wanted to qualify as an elite had to be an Awakened fighter. Which means they had awakened a Profession; hardly would they be unable to even defend, except the enemy was several times more powerful. Yet, this guard
Chapter 61:
The pub was lively, with a bard singing in the corner, and customers seemed content. He glanced around with satisfaction until his gaze landed on a figure in adventurer gear, sleeping by the bar - her hand still gripping her half-finished beer.Castor knocked on the counter, “Hey, Caroline…”, she didn’t budge. Castor tapped her a few times, but she only muttered in her sleep without moving. “It’s like waking the dead,” Castor muttered in annoyance.Bang!The door to the inn was kicked open — an unnecessary action, given the door was not locked – and two young nobles entered, from their clothing and accessories, it was clear that these were wealthy scions. A group of bodyguards swarmed in and began to chase out the customers.The nobles were in their late teens; the female was an average beauty, but she carried herself with an air of importance that made her charismatic. Her companion, a young man with a thin sword on his waist, had an air of arrogance around him; however, he was more
Chapter 60: A Fight Between Experts
Freya sidestepped Edward’s attack, causing his crimson claws to miss by a few inches. While in mid-air, her arrows streaked towards him, all aiming at his vital points. Edward’s form transformed into a ball of blood before firing towards her like missiles. The blood spears pierced Freya in multiple ways. Her body exploded into splinters, only for her to reappear on a rock a few meters away, her arrow already drawn. The moment Edward reformed into his real form, the arrow was let loose. He didn’t have enough time to evade; the arrow seemed to always reach its target immediately, with each shot being stronger than the last. Edward was forced to release his aura and halo at the same time. The arrow exploded upon collision with his protective aura, and the ground shook in all directions, sending stones and dust into the air. At the same time, a feminine voice rang out, “Oak Graveyard”. The space around them twisted, and both woman and vampire vanished.In the air, Deimos was surrounded
