Chapter 61: War of Lords. Ryan huffed. He also knew that if KuLaa had demanded Megan's submission the moment they met, she would have had no choice but to submit. Because back then, they were weak and naive. They needed her. "Submitting to her back then and submitting to her now, if you ask me, they are the same thing." Megan paused and headed for their big bed and sat on it. "We needed her then and today, we still need her. This is my second reason. Now that Ainar and Amoux have been discovered to be Turakies, I am not confident that we can protect them by ourselves." Megan huffed in sadness. Ryan's already hunched back, got lower as he dropped his head. He had also thought of this. He planned to find a way to hide his family away during this turbulent time, had his wife agreed to leave with him. "My last reason is that I am not willing to let go of the opportunity to leave this continent. If it's going to be possible, KuLaa is our only hope. For the protection of my kids, for
Chapter 62: A Luna's Submission.For several seconds, only the chirping of birds coming from the garden could be heard in the room. Finally, KuLaa swept her gaze at them and scoffed. "What do you want?"Instantly, the two kids went on their knees with their heads touching the ground just like their mother had instructed them to. "My Liege, I brought the kids to apologize for their wrongdoings. Please forgive, My Liege." Megan said in a solemn voice."Mother, please!" Ryan stepped forward with pleading eyes. "What makes you think that I am angry with your kids?" KuLaa asked. Megan and Ryan were suddenly confused. If KuLaa wasn't angry with the kids, then why all the fuss? "Grandma…" Ainar raised her head up but before she could continue, an invisible and heavy weight suddenly descended on her and pressed her to the ground. The flooring under her knees cracked and her already pale skin turned red under it."Ainar!"Scared out of her brain, Megan screamed, went on her knees, and
Chapter 63; KuLaa's grudges. Using a disappearing spell, KuLaa vanished from across Kurt and appeared in the middle of their bed, laughing gleefully. Meanwhile, the moment KuLaa vanished, Kurt pounced on empty air and fell heavily. Jokingly, he held his midriff and rolled on the ground in pain. "You cheated again. By the moon Mother, if I catch you, I will not let you go!" He grunted. "Hahaha, catch me if you can!" KuLaa laughed with glee from the bed. Kurt stood up using his Wolf speed and soon the two of them became like a circular whirlwind as Kurt gave KuLaa a chase around the room. Soon, the whole place was turned upside down with items such as the tea kettle and cups, ink and brushes, and phones flying in the air. As long as their body touched it, it would fly and stay in the air until one of them swiftly returned it to its original position. If KuLaa's crew members or Kurt's family should witness the childish display of these two, it would be a shocking revelation. No on
Chapter 64 Setting out for the human realm.Meanwhile, at Megan's courtyard, the previous night, everything was solemn after the family of four returned home. Ainar was terrified and stayed by her mother's side crying until Megan used her magic to make her sleep again. Amoux on the other hand stood by the bed watching Ainar sleep. There was nothing he could do. After the kids quieted down, Megan called Ryan to the sitting room and served him some blood. "Ryan, from now on, you can sleep with any of the females in our crew. I want you to start your own harem." Ryan dropped the glass of blood and shot to his feet."No!" "It's an order!" Megan's voice trembled. This was harder than she had thought. "I have given it a lot of thought. To show my sincerity, I must let you do this. I will never lay with another man. I can't bring myself to do it. But you, you should do it. You should lay with other women and make your mother's house stronger. It's part of your filial piety." By the ti
Chapter 65; MayelThe village was called Mayel. It was a remote village with not more than two thousand inhabitants; according to the signboard on the outpost, 2 miles from the village gate. It was said that a long time ago, this village used to be the homestead of the Viedanise. Who were the viedanise?The Viedanise was a family of powerful witches and wizards and the most prominent and powerful of the five origin magic families that vanished without a trace. Because the Viedanise were farmers, the Mayel of that time was big farmland that catered to the needs of government officials and every prominent family in the capital. Back then, there were neither vampires nor werewolves and humans. There were just Turakies with magic and Turakies with no magic. In those days, the Turakies with magic were the elites and the five families with the most powerful witches and wizards were the elites of the elites. When the Viedanise were still alive and flourishing, it was said that they w
Chapter 66: Fie.He looked around and saw that the crew was going through a similar thing. Kurt relaxed and smiled. "Stop trying to hurry up. Madam Su doesn't want to meet us yet. That is why this is happening." He explained to the crew. Instantly, everybody relaxed and started walking at a normal pace. Gradually, the pressure on their bodies disappeared and they started feeling light. They had no choice but to approach slowly as they watched KuLaa talking animatedly to the air. "It sure did, Madam Su. Now that I have brought him back, can we enter?" KuLaa asked worriedly. "Of course, child. I have been waiting all this time." Madam Su looked towards the approaching crew curiously. "The young man beside your husband, he has your aura and resents you. "Is it normal?" KuLaa chuckled. "I have not been a good mother."Madam Su's eyes widened in surprise. "He is your son?" "Yes. His name is Ryan.""You have a son? Why didn't you bring him here as a baby?" Madam Su snapped at KuLaa
Chapter 67; The Origin of Eplica"So we are just a mutation of the two species," Ryan mumbled. "That's right." Madam Su nodded, then continued."Back then, magical beasts were the rulers of the world because when they were cultivated to a certain level, they would gain the ability to transform into a human form. Back then, among magical beasts, it was taboo to marry a human since they were considered to be lesser beings. The magical beasts didn't want their bloodline to be tainted. That was until the Moon Mother and our ancestor met and fell in love." Madam Su continued. "When the monarchs of the magical beasts found out that our ancestors were breeding Turakies in secret, the magical beasts decided to wipe us out. Fortunately, we were not alone in this. When our forefathers discovered the danger, they contacted the shapeshifters from other magical beast families such as dragons, snakes, tigers, and so on. They all joined hands together to beat the magic beasts back. That was w
Chapter 68: Godly Treasure."So despicable," Ryan mumbled. "What is an immortal?" KuLaa asked. She already had an idea but preferred to get more explanation from Madam Su. She believed that Madam Su knew more than the texts she had read. In fact, most of what she had read and what Madam Su was saying were conflicting. "Immortal is a level of cultivation. Humans cultivate to become immortals and Immortals cultivate to become gods. Both immortals and Gods can't die of natural causes. Someone stronger than them is the only thing that can kill them."KuLaa nodded. "Because of the poison fed to everyone in this world by the house of Zote for hundreds of years, the genetics of the people have changed and the generations that followed kept getting weaker and weaker. It is only a matter of time before the creatures of this world die out or get refined by the Zotes unless someone stops them. Your father was the closest to a pure bloodline since the poisoning of the continent. When you wer
Chapter 75: Ascension!Gradually, the two tubes opened up and started moving towards each other. They then joined together to form a cage. KuLaa and Fie looked at each other. In Fie's eyes, she could see hatred and hunger. They mirrored her own feelings and thoughts. This was when she realized the reason why they were left in that yellow water for so long. Their magical energy was sapped away by that water. KuLaa felt very weak.The only way to devour another was to drain their blood and eat their heart. How was she going to do that when she was this weak?"You!" Fie softly called out with a weak and raspy voice. It felt like pain. Unbothered, KuLaa turned to the several elders watching from outside. They had promised to let her devour the girl but now they want her to fight?Understanding the look, Bella's father stepped forward and said, "She is too weak. Just kill her."KuLaa nodded and approached Fie' She expected Fie to retreat or even attack but the girl just stood there,
Chapter 74; A gift for my brother!Just a few hours before dawn, Megan was still by her bedside. She had waited all day and night for the kids to wake up but they were still in deep sleep. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion and the ground started shaking. Shocked, Megan stood up and looked out through the window. The whole island was shaking and water was invading it. In the past, no matter how high the tide was, the water surrounding KuLaa island would always land on the invisible seal as if it was landing on air, before going back into the sea. Water has never invaded KuLaa island before. The seal has been broken. What sort of storm is this? Megan wondered. She looked at her kids who were still sleeping and was confused for a moment. What should I do? Just then, the door opened and Bella stepped inside. "Megan, we need to leave now," Bella screamed in panic." What is going on?" Megan asked. "I don't know. The Seal got broken. I think it's because Alice wasn't guarding i
Chapter 73: A Stranger In a Black CloakKurt finally calmed down and KuLaa removed the net from him. She held him in her hands and quietly made him go to sleep as the Baril police arrived and encircled her. The leading commander wanted to approach her but Jum stopped him."Stand down. I will handle this.""Yes, sir." The commander went back and Jum stood there, watching KuLaa as she took care of Kurt. Lao and Peruh walked over to him. "What's going on?" Peruh asked with a puzzled look. "Don't you think it's beautiful, yet pitiful? Look at what love reduced such a powerful witch to." Jum chuckled."Kurt is no easy fry either. And even more dangerous than you in his berserk mode. That was why I activated the net. I couldn't handle him alone." Lao pointed out. There was respect in his voice which annoyed Jum."Are you saying his berserk is more powerful than mine?" "Yes. We wouldn't have been able to handle them on our own if they had joined forces from the beginning."Peruh didn'
Chapter 72; Chaos on the street of Baril. It reached right into her soul, caressing it and trying to make her relax. Instantly realizing that she was being coaxed, KuLaa repelled the spell and glared at Jum."What do you think you are doing?" She groaned. "Not bad." Jum smiled and walked into the room proper. "My name is Jum and these are my friends, Lao and Peruh. We are from the house of Zote."KuLaa looked them over and her eyes blazed. She has not seen such arrogance in a long time. "I have never had dealings with anyone from the house of Zote. Why did you target my family?""You are wrong, Lord KuLaa of the house of Viedanise!" Jum smiled at her but KuLaa had already sensed the uncertainty in his tone.So he isn't sure of my identity. "What is the house of Viedanise?" She feigned confusion. Jum gave her a look over and his ever-present smile widened. Was he wrong? She didn't know?"The House of Viedanise is one of the five magical families of Eplica. And you, Lord KuLaa,
Chapter 71; Nobody Says 'No' to Jum!Once KuLaa left the room, Kurt brought out his phone. Since lines could only connect when they were in the same realm, finding out if his father was involved was very simple. Kurt turned on the phone and torrents of messages started dropping. And all of them were from his father. The only reason this would happen was because his father was also in Baril, just as KuLaa suspected. Why? Kurt's eyes darkened. Mulan hardly left Silver Crest in the past 50 years. Why now? Could KuLaa's suspicions be right? If Mulan was really in cohort with the house of Zote, then does that mean he was also just a lab rat for their experiments? He remembered all the failed experiments Adolph carried out on him. From trying to hitch magic into his bones, to having his beating heart separated from his body and kept in refined heartbloods gotten from other witches and wizards. He has lost count of how many times one organ or the other was removed or had half of a forei
Chapter 70; Walking into a Trap?Just like KuLaa expected, two days after her arrival, four dead bodies were found just a few blocks away from a brothel within the black market area of Baril. They were the members of the missing cell. When they were brought in for KuLaa's inspection, it was as if they were just sleeping and not dead. The moment she saw them, she knew this was the work of a powerful magician. The person had subjected them to vicious torture but the only telling tale was their darkened underfoot. They were so black and hard that a butcher's knife wouldn't be able to cut through without some effort. There was nothing on their bodies but when KuLaa checked their brains, she found three of them liquified while there was a message left in the skull of the cell leader. Whoever took Oliver wanted Ryan in exchange for him. "Hahahahahahahaha haha!" KuLaa's laughter vibrated through the underground lair. It was terrifying, yet inspiring. Every member of her crew silently
Chapter 69: Taken!The front door was left open and the sitting room was left in ruins. There were claw marks on the walls and some had even torn into some of the furniture. As the two boys looked around, their supernatural eyes surged out and they started sniffing the air. "Two wolves and a vampire." Grunted Saint. "Call Elder Mac!" Roy brought out his phone and started dialing Elder Mac's number but nobody picked up. "Blood!" Roy horrid over to a spot behind one of the chairs. There, he found a small red patch of blood on the ground. He touched it and smelled it. "It's Dad's!" His body grew cold and his eyes turned red with rage. "They hurt him." Saint hugged himself as he stared at the red spot of blood on Roy's fingers in horror. The image of Alaric getting torn to pieces flashed across his mind. His body trembled and he whimpered. When Roy looked up and saw Saint's state, he quickly pulled himself together and hurried over to comfort him. "Saint, he will be fine. You have
