Red Blood
The Divulgarea de Sine (lV)
The King of Bourga was sitting with a disheveled mind on the throne. His right hand held his chin full of inner-born foods thinking of the words of the Orc king he had slaughtered yesterday. If he doesn't find the Vampire right away before the full night, then his plan to make the night immortal will fail. Time has become increasingly tight, while the enemy, the son of Cysta, is getting stronger and stronger out there.
“Your Highness, you are the arrival of guests from the land of Orc.” Said one of the servants.
Come in soon a half-hysterical Orc, “Paduka Bourga, last night I just saw a demon! A very terrible winged demon! Please protect me.”
“It's rare that I see Orcs scared like this. Wait a minute .. Aren't you Vidlan's bodyguard, the leader of a small village on the outskirts of the Orc kingdom? What brings you here?”
“I brought word to your Majesty, my master, Vidlan was killed last night by a Vampire. Not only that, he also massacred the entire Southwest Village citizens overnight in the blink of an eye. I'm the only one who managed to survive.”
“Vampire! is he Kysta's son?”
“Yes Master, he claims to be the son of Kysta.”
“...., how does it look?”
“High, big, muscular, white hair and got huge black wings. His nails are long and he is strong. I don't think our master Vidlan, will survive against that demon either.”
Bourga was drowned on the chair. He broke out in a cold sweat knowing everything he had feared had come true. Felno, his right hand until a little worried to see the face of the king turned deathly pale instantly. He realized it was impossible to win against Taring in a power struggle. He's still a kid and already that strong? Until it can make Orcs run away in fear? What Qimba said was right, he had no chance of winning.
“Yang Started, you okay?”
“Hah? Yeah .. I'm fine. Please reward him according to the agreement I have promised.”
One of the servants then gave a bag of gold coins to the trembling Orc in the middle of the room. He was led out once there was nothing more he had to say to the king.
“Felno,” said Bourga, “remember the monsters that attacked the slums on the edge of the kingdom? I guess we agreed that it wasn't a monster, right? See my hands shaking like this.” Bourga picked up the glass with his unusually silent hand. The water in the cup spilled onto the floor.
“Master is fine?”
“It should be that the boy is currently ten years old, but he can slaughter an entire citizen in just one night. And now he did it again, in front of the Orcs blatantly. Look at my hand! LOOKIE! BODY BETRAYED ME. I'm afraid Felno, I'm afraid of him.”
“Master, we'll find a way out. He is still a child, we can still take advantage of the circumstances.”
“Yah .. You are right. Make a contest immediately. Anyone who managed to capture the Vampires with white hair would get a portion of this royal land. Also mention the position where he was last seen in the Southwest Village. If we can catch him first, I think I still have a chance.”
“And I will double the search for the other Ancestral Core. Sir is not alone in this matter.”
“Thank you, Felno.”

Ilfina, Rhino, Miria, and Ula accompanied by two giant dragons were looking for villagers who had been invisible. They knocked on every door they found but got no answer. This place is like a ghost town. Even though the condition of housing and livestock and agriculture is still very well maintained. These villagers are gone overnight.
“Hey all, I found traces.”
Ilfina invites others to follow this fresh trail. They walked in tandem with conditions slightly lowered to the ground. The forest is full of morning dew. The trees around them only had a black shadow behind the white smoke.
Feelings of anxiety began to approach each of them. Not only Ilfina, even Miria was this time participating anxiously instead of playing thinking about the state of Taring. In his message, Taring said that he followed one of the humans who lived in the village after being kidnapped by a giant bird, but why was there even no one there? What the hell's been going on? Where did Taring go? Is he safe?
All those questions haunted their minds. Ilfina who had started to feel better now re-rushed again. It was not easy to bring back the girl's sweet smile.
The trail they followed stopped at a cliff edge. At its base there was a terrifying hole full of fire lava that was flowing very profusely blazing with red. But even more terrifying was, the place was filled with corpses. All of their heads were cut off with blood pooling in large quantities. The corpse's head was there on floating above the sea of blood.
Ilfina closed her mouth in shock, Miria closed her mouth, Ula followed, while Rhino immediately vomited. A very disgusting sight to see.
“What happened here?”
Taring, I hope it's not you. Thought Ilfina.
He looked over the other side of the cliff. There are many holes in the footprints and there are also some traces of blood drops. Some of the trees in the forest on the cliff there are broken. There was a golden rope lying on the ground. Ilfina invited the others to teleport to the opposite hill away from the blood-filled, horrifying scene. The veiled girl picked up the golden rope and then she looked closely.
“There was a fight here last night,” Ilfina squeezed the gold rope.
“What is possible ... Taring?”
“Entahlah. I think this is why I was so upset last night. I felt the boy was in danger. And this morning that feeling is gone, I hope he's okay.”
“I feel the same way too. Could this be the effect of the Ancestral Core owner?”
“Maybe. I often use the power of the Taring so our Ancestral Core might both already be tied to each other, that's why I can feel what he feels. I used your powers too Miria, which is why what I feel, you feel it too. Now understand right, why should we find Taring as soon as possible?”
Miria looked down unable to say anything. To be honest right now he was a little anxious to Taring. But if what Ilfina said was true about her feelings, the boy might not be in danger because Ilfina was not as good as last night. But still, anything can happen if they don't find it right away.
The four of them then flew across the forest following some fallen and clawed tree trunks. Most likely these traces would lead them to Taring.
Meanwhile on the other side of the forest, Taring was on a mountain full of pointy rocks. Lots of holes in the wall of the hill with a very large size. It seemed like there were inhabitants inhabiting this huge rocky mountain.
And well, it looks like Taring has now met one of them. That is a large human, a giant that is eight meters high in one-on-one eyes with him. The one in the face of Taring might be one, but the one staring at him there were dozens of people. Taring is in Vampire mode, he flies using his wings to look at the giant's eyes like a bird.
It seems like a battle is about to happen, again.
