As for using her blood, she wouldn't allow that to happen either. They would have to kill her and find a way to extract her true blood essence before they could use it for their purposes."Manuel, go to the city and get some supplies," the old man commanded."All right, Master. But please, don't do anything to her while I'm gone. At least wait until I return."Having said that, Manuel turned and left immediately.The moment he disappeared from sight, the old man's expression changed. He strode toward Helena, his eyes gleaming with impatience."Do you really think I have that much time to waste?"He shook his head in disgust."Manuel is an idiot. It doesn't matter whether he follows me or not. I'm beginning to regret taking him as my disciple. If I'd known he'd turn out like this, I wouldn't have bothered with him in the first place."He stopped in front of Helena and looked down at her."But you see, I'm not nearly as softhearted as he is. I'm getting the Elysian Spring today, and not

"Listen to me, girl. All I want you to do is open the hidden gate. Once you do that, I'll leave you alone and let you return to your dead man." Manuel's master spoke with cold authority."You think I'll help you do anything? You're dreaming! You'd better kill me now, before Samuel finds you!" Helena retorted, glaring at him defiantly."Little girl, you should know that there are many ways for me to accomplish what I want. I'm simply offering you the easiest option by allowing you to open the gate yourself. But if you insist on making things difficult, we'll do this my way. Since you refuse to open the gate willingly, I'll take your blood instead."The old man gestured to Manuel.Manuel hesitated, his gaze shifting between his master and the woman bound before them. After a moment, he finally mustered the courage to speak."Master, shouldn't we reconsider? I could try to convince her, or we could search for another way. There must be another option, right?" he asked hopefully."There i

Samuel and Gabon faced each other, both prepared to unleash everything they had.The battle resumed with even greater ferocity.Their attacks tore through the city, reducing buildings to rubble and leaving destruction in their wake. The city, which had once served as a refuge for countless people fleeing the dangers of the Urgabas, had become a battlefield too dangerous for anyone to remain in.People scrambled to escape, abandoning their belongings as they ran for their lives.The devastation continued to spread, and before long, the city was almost completely destroyed.Such was the terrifying consequence of a battle between two extraordinarily powerful opponents.********Samuel awoke the following day beneath a pile of rubble.His entire body ached from the previous day's battle. He had fought with everything he possessed, and the toll had been immense. Although he believed he had eventually gained the upper hand, the fight had pushed him to his limits.He wasn't even entirely cer

Gabon was sent flying into the distance. He crashed into the street, creating a massive crater upon impact.Samuel flew toward the crater and hovered above its mouth, waiting patiently. A moment later, Gabon slowly emerged from the depths. He looked up at Samuel, the arrogance he had displayed earlier nowhere to be seen."You are quite the troublemaker. I think the Dark Lord underestimated just how troublesome you would be, but he needn't worry. I will handle you myself once and for all!""I admire your confidence," Samuel replied.The two immediately clashed again, their swords colliding with tremendous force. Gabon wielded his enormous, heavy sword as though it weighed nothing, each swing tearing through the air with enough power to destroy anything in its path. Samuel defended himself calmly, parrying one devastating strike after another as Gabon relentlessly intensified his assault. The apostle was clearly determined to finish Samuel in a single, overwhelming attack.Below them, t

A terrifying sword slash ripped through the air, its force tearing toward the man before he could react. The attack struck him in an instant, slicing cleanly through his body and splitting him in half.The man's expression froze in disbelief. He had barely registered the incoming attack before his body separated into two pieces. A moment later, his severed halves began tumbling from the sky.Manuel and everyone else who witnessed the scene were stunned.Samuel had killed the attacker with a single slash."Who is that young man?" someone in the crowd asked in astonishment."I don't know. I've never seen his face before," another person replied.The city lord, who had also witnessed the exchange, studied Samuel with a solemn expression."He probably isn't from this city. He might be a traveler. I'm familiar with every powerful and influential person here, but I've never encountered him before."While the surrounding spectators discussed Samuel's identity, the lizard-headed man rose into

"What you said makes sense, but it isn't the best solution. For days now, many people who left the city haven't returned. They say the major roads and even the forests are dangerous. No route is safe. Rather than abandon the city, they might as well fight with everything they have. At least they'll die trying to protect their future," the guard explained.Samuel and Helena entered the city afterward. The place was remarkably crowded. After making a few inquiries, they learned that people from the surrounding towns and villages had gathered there to seek refuge.As a result, the city had imposed a curfew that began at a specific time every night. Once the designated hour arrived, no one was allowed outside, and only the city guards could be seen patrolling the streets.After finding an inn where they could spend the night, Helena's face fell."So, we aren't going to explore the city anymore?" she asked with a pout."Calm down. Don't worry about it. I'll take you out after all this is o
