her the instructions, I began to thoroughly spread my mana around the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't long before the entirety of the lower district was under my watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like dropping a net into dark water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mana spread through streets, rooftops, walls, underground tunnels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing that I noticed was the undeniable fear in everyone's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'They are well aware of the current situation.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still getting information, I began to filter out those which were not useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it didn't take me long to find some unusual mana patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Changing my direction, I began to guide Epione to that direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Does he always behave like this?\" I asked, without looking at her. \"And when did you even encounter a dragon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I was a child.\" She replied softly. \"We found a skeleton of a dragon there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced at her, and even though I couldn't see her face, I knew she was lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that really the truth?\" I decided to confront her. \"I don't think so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Epione remained silent, her crimson eyes on me now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no struggle in them, just pure blankness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The street noise felt distant like we were walking inside a bubble no one else could see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her silence told me more than words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't have to tell me,\" I said after a few steps. \"But don't lie to me either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked away first, her hand gently rested on Liraz's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you know, then why ask.\" She said, her voice not so gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know the whole truth.\" I replied. \"Though I would love to know more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remained silent while I couldn't help but frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Why do I feel like the presence keeps getting further away.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My connection with Liraz is that of a mother and son.\" She said after a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…And because of his unique bloodline, I have seen broken past of his ancestors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't interrupt her and I was sure there were not many she had told this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phoenix have been in this world ages before the Creator God.\" She mumbled. \"They were the few creatures that survived the Light Era.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Light Era?\" I asked, tilting my head in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phoenix don't remember history like we do.\" She replied. \"For them anything before the interference of Creator God was Light Era and after that Dark Era.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liraz remembers what happened to his ancestors.\" She continued. \"And I have seen it too….What the dragons made by Creator God did to them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was really surprised by how much knowledge she had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in this time, I heard a static voice in my earpiece before it turned completely silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Well, this was to be expected.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're saying he's reacting to memory as well,\" I said, \"not just presence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded her head as we reached a completely different place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't feel like the lower district that was filled with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, we were close to an abandoned building with no people around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything else that you want to say?\" I said, as I felt the presence close by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes remained on the building as she kept on staring at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would like to see Liraz restore his race one day.\" She said gently. \"I just hope, we can live for that long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I chuckled as I patted her head, like she was my own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry.\" I said. \"I will be there to help if needed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't respond but her eyes did linger on my hand. \"Please, don't touch me without permission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I removed my hand as I drew in a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" I said, walking again. \"There were six figures inside, I also felt two dead bodies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard a deep inhale from her as I turned my gaze. \"Like I said, stay behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave a small nod as I turned my focus ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We moved toward the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door ahead swayed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak… creak…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With mana, I pushed the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door blew inward quietly, hinges snapping without sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside was dark but it was not empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six of them stood in a half-circle around a ritual array carved into the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the side, I saw two Asuran whose throats were slit open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>….They were making the circle with their blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I stepped inside, all six of them turned towards me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all had the same body type and even the same face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their pale face and teeth gave away their race as vampires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Why the heck are vampires here?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Capture them!\" One of them shouted. \"We can't let them go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A total of five vampires rushed towards me with incredible speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Hah, I don't have time for this.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let them reach close to my body as the world slowed down for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this state, I could clearly see their sharp claw-like fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world snapped back to normal speed and my mana dropped over them like a veil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if the sky had fallen on them, their bodies hit the ground all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bones cracked under their own mass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw their knees and arms shatter first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then ribs caved inward like dry wood breaking under a boot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't even get to scream properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only wet choking sounds escaped their throats as blood filled their mouths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring them, I began to walk towards the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey.\" I said with a smile. \"Mind answering some of my questions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could say anything else they both ran in the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'....'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kept looking at their departing figures before my gaze shifted to Epione.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She crouched down beside the two dead Asuran and closed their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you not going to follow them.\" She asked, without looking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I recognised their mana.\" I replied, extending my hand towards her. \"I hope they would lead us to the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at my hand for a second before taking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pulled her up gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liraz peeked out again, eyes still sharp but no longer shaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Focusing on my mana, I found both of them running away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few minutes, they had crossed a long distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as I focused on their path, I immediately found it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A teleportation portal that was guarded by two more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took a step and the space folded around me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, I stood in front of the teleportation gate and the two vampires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could even understand, an invisible blade of mana cut off their heads and punctured their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies dropped before the sound could even travel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The portal behind them flickered, unstable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two vampires also reached the place only to die the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With them gone, I focused on the portal, sending a small amount of mana inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it only led me to an island-like place with no noticeable threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kept staring at the portal as I slowly stabilized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…. Should I?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wondered, rubbing my chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking back I found Epione standing beside me with her eyes on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you planning to…?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\" I said, stretching my neck. \"I plan to cross to the other side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what if there is really a dragon?\" She asked, tilting her head. \"You could die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry too much, I will come back in a second.\" I replied, supplying the portal with enough mana for a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep her safe, Arawn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt his mana as if he acknowledged my words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking in a deep breath, I slowly walked past the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world turned bright as I closed my eyes instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a split second, I felt a change in gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked away the blindness as I looked up at the ceiling?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'….What the?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I frowned, hastily sitting up and looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Much to my confusion, I was in a bed with all my clothes gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amhn~.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar soft voice took my attention as I slowly turned my head to my side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, Christina slept naked covered with a thin layer of clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to look on the other side where another woman slept in same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inna blinked innocently and smiled. \"Good morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What the….'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I immediately stood up, jumping away from the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking or looking back, I reached the door and opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room led me to another bedroom where two women slept naked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come here~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Join us~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blankly stared at both Yennefer and Zenith who gestured me to join them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a trembling breath, I walked towards the door on the other side of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door led me to another bedroom, this time with Shyamal and Siersha waiting for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked again, opened another door that led me into the bedroom with Nymeria and Nerrisa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…..Arianell and….
