Karl could no longer hide his relief at Lorenzo's words. Likewise with Professor Mark and Petra who also breathed a sigh of relief. Karl turned his body slightly to face the medical team that was treating Toni's condition and also at the life support machine which showed Toni's condition status. "Then what's the next step?" Karl turned his attention back to Professor Mark. Professor Mark shook his head slowly. "For now all we can do is wait until the patient manages to gain consciousness." "And after that …" “There shouldn't be any problems. Let me check the situation again. Excuse me,” Professor Mark walked over to Toni, checking his neck and wrists. His face tensed for a moment, before turning relieved. "The point where the poison came from has gradually recovered." “Poison spot point?” "Yes. I don't know much about the ancient poison development project. But from what I knew before I made it out of Schneider, I saw that there were so many experimental subjects–most of whom off
He didn't feel good about this. Alec squinted back at the sense of danger. His attention was diverted from Erna who was still talking on the other end of the phone, towards the surroundings. “My relationship with Bianca is good. I don't know if this is the right time to tell you considering that my relationship with you back then…” "I'm not thinking about it anymore," Alec said quickly. “Anyway, it's mostly my fault. I asked Bianca to replace me looking after you, because I realized that I don't deserve to be by your side after what happened." “Alec, don't say–” "No, I am telling you the truth," interrupted Alec. "So what do you have to say about you and Bianca?" "That …" Alec heard doubts from Erna's tone when she said that. "Is there anything you want to say?" "That …" "Yes?" "If I told you that I am with Bianca right now, would you be upset at me?" "I think I know where this conversation will be led," Alec rubbed the back of his neck so he understood the direction of Ern
Veronica was at a loss for words. Hearing Professor Mark's words succeeded in creating a silence mixed with despair in everyone in the room–including himself. No one among everyone took the initiative to speak up or take any action to break the silence. He swept his gaze across all the people who were in this room with him, studying one by one the expressions and body language of these people. It seemed everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, leaving him the only one who didn't know how to respond to this situation. His gaze then fixed on the floor of the room, feeling a feeling of hopelessness in the depths of his heart. Firstly, because he still didn't understand the situation beyond the fact that William Schneider was increasingly launching his attacks on the entire clan of supernatural beings in Waterford city using an ancient poison. Second, because his status as an ordinary human does not give him any advantage. He doesn't have the ultrasonic running ability like Ka
It seems that Karl's words just now succeeded in dispelling the doubts that were in Professor Mark's heart, because then Veronica could see the lines on Professor Mark's face that showed relief."Then I won't hesitate anymore." Professor Mark cleared his throat, looking at Veronica with a slightly guilty and awkward expression. “I apologize for my attitude just now.”"I understand. Can we just move on to our main topic?” Veronica smiled a polite smile, with her arms crossed. “You mentioned your experience while you were working under Schneider just now, right?”"Yes.""My question is simple." Veronica leaned over to Professor Mark. "How did you know all that? I was taken to Schneider's base before, so I know quite a bit about Schneider's character.”“What do you mean, Y-you are suspicious of me who knows so much about Schneider's plans, the serums, and also the heinous research?”Veronica nodded without hesitation, confirming Professor Mark's words. He watched Professor Mark's body la
Erna looked at her dead smartphone screen with uncertain feelings. He directed his gaze back out the window in the living room, looking at the sky around the area where he was currently turning cloudy. If it wasn't for the current disadvantageous situation, maybe he wouldn't be trapped in this place. Maybe now, he will be in one of his favorite coffee shops, enjoying a cup of cappuccino while enjoying the sound of the rain that soothes his mind. He put his smartphone back on the coffee table, leaning his back on the sofa chair. His eyes looked towards the ceiling of his room, staring at the carvings on the ceiling wall that he did not understand with great exasperation. Even though his initial intention was just for fun–purely because he didn't know what to do. Before Bianca left, her girlfriend asked her to stay at Laurent's residence until she returned, so naturally she couldn't go anywhere other than around the mansion. He spent four hours playing a dating simulation visual nove
Febrina Darren wiped the sweat off her temples using the towel hanging around her neck, smiling proudly to herself. In front of him now, his new apartment room looked beautiful, impeccably clean. All corners of the room filled with dust were no longer visible dust. The furniture has been set up, along with the Christmas tree she and Gavin bought the day before yesterday in the corner of the living room. "Fireplace, Christmas tree, gift boxes neatly lined up under the Christmas tree. Everything is perfect. Phew …" "The way you wiped the sweat just now made me remember those middle-aged uncles I often see at work, you know?" Gavin grumbled under his breath as he shook his head in resignation after tidying up the boxes that were no longer used near the entrance, approached Febrina. "You are not cute at all." Febrina smirked, nudging her arm towards Gavin. "Really? Then why do you still want to be with me?" "No comment," Gavin raised his hand, then landed his buttocks on the guest chai
Veronica Darren could not believe that the day she did not want to wait for had finally came today. Since she was a child until now, she used to be the most enthusiastic person whenever it came to school and college, since it meant she did not have to spend time in her apartment watching random series or movies on N*****x (of course, all her wishlist were fantasy serial TV dramas on N*****x that she found) or reading whatever books she could find on her bookshelves by herself. But now, she found out that the idea of going to college was the nastiest idea she had ever had. That was for sure. Rather than going to the college like she was doing right now, she now preferred the idea of being at Laurent's residence and honing her fighting skills which were getting better and better thanks to Isabella's and also Karl's teachings. In essence, he liked his new life much better now. He doesn't need to think about the value of his assignments. He doesn't need to think about his scholarship
Veronica smiled sadly, to find herself now embracing the many foods that Karl had bought for her after visiting all the cafes on the way to her campus. Compared to students who were forced to welcome a new semester on the grounds that their vacation days are now already over, she rather actually felt that she was like an elementary school student who was on a field trip with her father. Eh ... Wait a moment! Was it just her feelings, or did her relationship with Karl feel so strange? In an instant, she slapped both of her cheeks so hard that she could feel that both of her cheeks were throbbing painfully from it, quickly dispelling the absurd idea that had just crossed her mind. "What is it?" She seemed too deep in her thoughts that she did not realise that the car she was riding with Karl had stopped. Her reverie was broken, finding that Karl had already turned his body to face her while looking at her with such curious eyes. “Karen? What is it?" This time, Karl stretched out
“Montessa! Is the time spell ready?”Bianca called out to Montessa as she ran up to Montessa. He played with the glocks still in his hand, then returned them to Montessa. “Thank you for wanting to lend me your weapon.”"Yes. Already!" On Montessa's right, a dimensional portal appears that is the same as Nora's, but has a lighter colour. Montessa's eyes turned to the soldiers who were now running like crazy after stuffing the glocks into their pockets. "What's wrong with them? What did you do to them?”"It's not the important thing you should be thinking about," Bianca patted Montessa on the shoulder. "Can we go in now? I hope your spell won't throw us into the wrong timeline.”“Hey, what you said hurts you know!” Montessa defended herself. “I always succeed in casting my spells when it comes to time magic. “And yes, it is safe. We're going back to the 21st century.”"Good," he turned his head back, looking at Erna's figure standing behind him.Erna's hand gripped his hand tightly, vis
Can they say that the mission was a success or not? That question kept popping up in Bianca's mind again and again as they ran to avoid the pursuit of the royal guards. In front of her, Montessa ran along with Felicia Chen, whom they managed to release from prison. All she knew, for now, was that she couldn't let go of Erna's wrist, which was running behind her. “How much longer we should wait!?” she shouted at Montessa, who was in front of her. "What?! I didn't hear your question, Pedrosa!” Montessa called back to Bianca, then turned his gaze back to the front as he saw more and more royal troops chasing the two of them. “I'm trying to recover my magic energy! Buy some more time!” “Easy for you to say, old man!” Bianca pulled Erna into her arms when she saw one of the royal troops trying to cut Erna with his sword. She parried the sword using his leg kick and threw the sword so that it stuck into one of the trees around the forest path. “Montessa! Lend me some weapons! There are
Karl hummed happily and fell in love with the new magic sword Alec had created for him. The sword that belonged to his grandfather, which he gave to Nora in exchange for Veronica's safety (he did not regret his decision at the time), he could indeed use without the slightest problem. But in all aspects, the sword was out of character for him.First, in terms of design. He was actually not a fan of swords that had lots of carvings on them. His taste was very different from his grandfather's sword, which has that element. In terms of the magical energy that can be absorbed by the magic sword inherited from his grandfather, there was not much the sword could absorb from his energy, because the sword inherited from his grandfather tended to use the emotions of its user.When his grandfather was still alive, his grandfather was the type of person who was easily provoked by anger. That disposition of his was also justified by his life principle of glorifying the dragon race. From the pas
Until an hour ago, they were still at Alec's house, trying out the new magic weapon Alec created.But right now, he and Karl and Stephen are busy helping Alex and Nicholas to kill the monsters that come to Alec's house.The monster was like Alec's description a while ago while visiting Pedrosa's residence. He had never come face to face with a monster created by William Schneider, so he was very surprised to see the real shape of the monster.He slashed one of the heads of the monsters that were about to attack him with their canine teeth. Their blood spurted out, hitting his body, emitting a strange hiss.There was a feeling of pity in him as he looked at the corpse of the monster in front of him. Recalling what Karl had said about the origins of the monsters, he felt some sympathy. In the past, these monsters had a quiet life.If it weren't for William Schneider, they might still be enjoying their quiet lives right now...A feeling of hatred for William Schneider welled up inside Ve
William tapped his fingers nervously on his desk. Currently he was in his office at the university where Veronica Darren studied, with an irritated and bored expression.He didn't care about the rows of work piled up on his desk. Or the list of files in his email when he turns on his computer as soon as he enters his study.Or the attention of the students who tried to approach him. Or also the fact that at work, there are so many bouquets of flowers, snacks, or gift boxes of various sizes filling the room.He didn't care about that.All he cared about was Veronica Darren's presence. But since two weeks ago, that woman has not been on campus at all, nor has she attended any of her classes. Even though the woman submitted her course work via e-mail about three days ago.Where has Veronica gone? What happened to Veronica not to show her nose on campus? Even though he had gone to great lengths to infiltrate the university as a lecturer so he could approach Veronica.Now, he felt like an
Don't do anything flashy, huh?Both Erna and Bianca looked at Montessa with deep eyes. Because of Montessa's stupidity that didn't estimate the risks that would occur if she went straight to the prison, the royal guards immediately arrested the three of them and took them to a room in the prison building.There were no windows around where they were, so all they could do was guess how long they had been there. There were only flaming torches hanging on the walls to illuminate the place.Even more annoying, the room was so damp and smelly, that it was difficult for him to feel comfortable staying in this place for a long time. He even admired the fighting spirit of the people who used to languish in this prison.Across the prison they were in, there was an old woman with a shabby appearance who kept cursing in a language she didn't understand towards the prison guards who were passing through the corridors of the prison."I didn't expect that the plan I made would end like this," Monte
Erna's eyes narrowed, looking intently at Bianca who was running excitedly along the path in the forest. Montessa suggested that they change into what people of the time they are currently in, so the man cast a spell to change their clothes.She was dressed in a duchess outfit that was so sparkling, dark blue in color and looked so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off of the dress she was wearing.But that wasn't what made it hard to focus on the mission this time. But because of Bianca. His girlfriend was wearing a 15th century gentleman's suit. Clothes that seemed to be created just for Bianca to wear, even though she knew that Montessa changed Bianca's clothes into men's clothes because she always forgot the fact that Bianca was a woman.Bianca didn't protest at all, of course. He knew that Bianca liked the androgynous appearance despite her always claiming to be a fully woman, so he shouldn't be surprised to see Bianca's current appearance.Yet, she found herself falling
She regretted her decision.She meant, she really regretted it.Erna looked at the environment around her with uncertain feelings. She was no longer in the 21st century with the technology and practicality offered by that century. But they were now around five centuries ago when technology and the internet were not yet available and witch hunts were still a common practice."It looks like we've come to the right time."Right now, Montessa was proudly standing to her right, using his magic to brush away the dirt and grime from his clothes. The man did not even pay attention to the fact that thanks to his goddamn time dimension magic, she and Bianca fell flat on the ground until their clothes were all dirty.Montessa did not even tell them or give any signal that they were going to land in the middle of the forest. Montessa only asked them to jump into the time dimension magic as soon as the man finished casting the spell.Yesterday he decided to agree to Montessa's offer by becoming th
Karl responded to Stephen's words with a low laugh. "Actually, there's something I don't understand." "Yes?" “Why did you make me a magic weapon? Moreover, from my knowledge, ordering magic weapons from the Berthold family is very expensive…” “In my opinion, the lives of living things are more expensive and valuable than the Berthold family's magic weapons,” Karl shoved his hands into his trouser pockets. “For me, you and Karen are the most important people in my life. I already consider you like my own family, and I know you love Karen too.” "I …" "Don't deny it, Steve. How long do you think I know you?" Karl looked up at the ceiling of the room. “Our current situation is so chaotic. War. The problem of racism in the Dragon clan. A showdown between vampire families. Somehow it feels like there are so many problems coming our way that I can't spare my spare time to go on a date with Karen. It sucks…” "I feel guilty too," Stephen said. “Last time I asked Nikki out, my brother cam
