Thanks to the intensive training she had with Erick and Isabella for the past few months, she had not encountered any difficulties while facing the opponent in front of him. She repeatedly managed to fend off Alec's attacks, which unfortunately did the same for Alec, making their fight even.
Alec swung his right hand, creating a wave of wind that immediately flung her body away from the man. She immediately stabbed her two swords with all her might on the marble floor where she was, causing long cracks as she tried to restrain herself from being dragged along in the strong wind.
This balanced result of their fight was apparently not liked by anyone controlling Alec after finding their attacks only managed to touch her a little. Alec's body movements stopped as she drew her two swords, clenched his fists and poured out the sand th
Karl managed to track down the whereabouts of Nicholas, who was hiding near the entrance of the dungeon where the Pedrosa clan medical team worked, trying to escape from that place. Fatigue was evident over them, making him a little confused, but that did not stop the sand dragon from attacking some of Pedrosa's guards who were trying to catch them for breaking into Pedrosa's base.Strange. He remembered it very well that Nicholas was the type who thirsted for the battle to the point of being called by all supernatural beings as a cold-blooded fighting machine, carrying modified corpses as his puppets. But what he saw in front of his eyes right now was a dragon who was struggling to just stand up until they had to lean against the wall, contrary to what he had known so far. They did not bring their puppets as usual that accompanied them wherever they went as he had always done b
Veronica awoke as soon as she heard the sound of music playing from the piano that could be heard faintly throughout her room, realizing that she had fallen asleep having been content to vent her frustration for Stephen on her pillow that had actually done nothing wrong to deserve a beating from her. She rubbed her eyes several times with a big yawn, which still felt heavy to open, got up from her bed. The afternoon sunlight brutally entered her room through the window of her room, which was not covered by the white curtains that were exposed. Somewhat reluctant but complied with her curiosity, she removed her prosthetic leg and replaced it with crutches that had been placed near her bed due to the discomfort that gripped her knee for wearing a long time. Following the sound of the piano that sounded louder as she followed towards the source of the sound.In the living room, she saw Ste
Erick came out of the intensive care room with a long sigh, followed by the tiredness that started to overtake him after the fight with Alec, who had been under Nicholas' influence to drain almost all of his energy before Bianca took his place in the fight, as well as his recovery cells which finally managed to heal the wounds from the fight earlier. He looked at everyone who was waiting for him. Some walked back and forth with a worried look on their faces like Pierre, then some stood a little way from all of them leaning against the wall with their lips moving constantly swearing at Nicholas Southampton like Karl Smith. Meanwhile, his boyfriend, Theo, sat with Bianca, who leaned the body of his boyfriend's sister's best friend on the empty chair. Pierre immediately approached him as soon as he realized his presence, getting more and more anxious as the hands that gripped his arms were sha
Nicholas Southampton had already lost their count for knocking over the door, pleading with William, who had been hitting them relentlessly for a while until they could not move their body at all, leaving them in the cold dark room and locking the room. They had no idea how much time they had spent in that room after their attempt to turn Alec Berthold into one of their puppets failed miserably. They cried, banging on the door, again and again, pounding on the strong steel door with all their might, hoping William would forgive their failure or whatever reason behind his anger to them. They then lay down, sobbing as they ran out of all their strength thanks to their would-be puppet bodies absorbing half of their life energy, plus the energy they spent recovering a quarter of the wounds inflicted by William.“Please ... open the door…,” this time their voices were barely aud
Alec opened his eyes, looked around the room that seemed foreign to him, creating a look of astonishment on his face. He found there were many unfamiliar medical pieces of equipment that he did not familiar with attached to his body and blood bags flowing into his body. As soon as he did not find Erna in his side, he panicked, trying to get up from where he was lying with difficulty.“Wow, wow, Romeo. Don't try to move too much just yet. You are still in the process of recovering.”Reflexively, he turned to the source of the voice, found the figure of a handsome woman named Bianca Pedrosa, who was also his girlfriend's best friend, who opened the door and entered the room. The woman closed the door, then walked over to him with a face full of worry and regret. Not the expression the woman showed when Erna introduced her to him at their first meeting at the cafe. The woman swiftly helped him to lie back down, pulling a chair not far from where she was.
Bianca was confused when she heard Alec's request. She could have refused Alec's request and left, but she owed him a lot. Guilt dominated her mind for having done something she should not have done from the start. She had to comply with Alec's request, which was met with relief on the cute-faced man's face, who looked a little paler than the last time they met, even though he was in much better condition than ten hours ago. So she remained standing in front of Alec, who was looking at Erna's figure with the gentle expression that the man always showed whenever he looked at Erna (she realized it when they first met at the cafe). The way the man looked at Erna, the way the man carefully and tenderly held Erna's hand, the way the man kissed the back of Erna's hand, poured out all the feelings that were in the man's heart to Erna, she had to admit, was much better than her. It made her realize where she had gone wrong all this time. Her feelings for Erna clearly could not be compared t
Chapter 65Febrina Darren enjoyed her second glass of her Cuba libre that Gavin had just served to her a few minutes ago, with her busy eyes scanning Gavin's back, which seemed so tempting for her to touch it while enjoying the man's perfectly formed muscles under his barista uniform. There was no one near her seat since everyone there tended to choose a seat in groups.When she first came to this bar, she was consumed by Gavin's lies. Now that she knew a little more about the supernatural world, she began to suspect the identity of all the customers of this bar who must be werewolves, unlike humans in general. Her younger sister, who has a pretty thick nose after the incident twelve years ago managed to grab her sister's leg and make her sister live by relying on prosthetic legs and crutches, said that she would be able to faintly
Erna opened her eyes, blinked as soon as she felt the sunlight sneaking in through the slits of the curtains in the room that made her had to squint her eyes to block the dazzling sunlight from hitting her eyes. She awoke, confused to find that she was no longer in her bedroom. Nor was she in her boyfriend's bedroom ...Made her remember one thing that managed to provoke her tears back. She sobbed, remembering the time Alec had died in front of her while trying to save her. Her hands could not feel the warmth he always gave her when she realized the body of the man she loved turned cold. The face her boyfriend made was in agony from the pain from the many wounds the man had received from their assailant turned calm, expressionless, like falling into a long sleep, but neither breath nor heartbeat could she feel from the man. The dead man who was trying to save her from …From what? She only remembered that they were attacked by unknown people, but she did not kno
“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
