The Last Whiteblood's

Locations Retian

"Day is dark, we should stop first" said Eden.

"What's? We can't stop now. Rena is in danger, if we don't hurry, then she will be taken for good" Daendra protested.

"I know your anxiety, but also think of your salvation" said Eden, taking a cigar from inside his robe. "Night is dangerous"

Arion pats Daendra's shoulder. "Eden is right, we have to be careful too. Your wounds have not healed"

Daendra stared at the sky for a moment before sitting on a rock. Arion sat next to Daendra, while the others sat and leaned against the trees. Eden was busy sucking his cigar and then exhaling smoke into the air.

"That girl is a descendant of dragons?" ask Eden.

"Yes" answered Arion.

"If the world knew of her existence, then the girl would be on the verge of danger"

Daendra frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Think about. Someone who has dragon blood will be properly utilized by certain parties. Given that dragons are rare and difficult to find, the government decided to look for people who have dragon blood" Eden replied. "In other words, this girl will live in a death cage"

Daendra clenched his hands tightly.

"So? After you save her, what are you gonna do?" ask Eden.

Daendra could not answer, for now.

"Eden, you ..." Arion wanted to talk, but Eden raised her hand forward, hinting to be quiet. They all looked at Eden who was looking to his right side.

It turned out that there were two Goblins that were passing by. Arion's group and the two Goblins were separated by bushes, their positions were not known by the two Goblins.

Eden, Arion and Daendra try to get close to them.

"Why didn't Lord Retian take the girl straight to the Dark Lord's castle?" ask one of the goblins.

"Mr Retian wanted two thousand souls before sending him to the castle" the other Goblin replied.

"It's gonna take a long time"

"Just do what he tells you"

After that they went away. Arion, Eden and Daendra looked at each other.

"We still have time" Arion said.

"We should not waste time, we should go there now" Daendra said.

"Dark Lord's. I thought he was in this game" muttered Eden. "We leave at dawn"

Yaeena was standing facing the window in her room. Looking at the clear morning sky, sunlight penetrated into the room. Yaena could feel the warmth of that light touch her body.

A maid girl had just entered her room with a tray filled with food.

"Miss, this is your breakfast"

The waiter put the tray of food on the table. Realizing he was not being responded to, the maid tried to call Yaena back.

"Miss, your breakfast is here"

However, Yaena still did not respond. There was something raging in his heart at this moment.

"Is there anything that bothers you right now?"

Yaena finally responded, she shook her head slowly. "No, I was just thinking about my three sisters. I'm really curious about their situation"

"I understand with your worries, they must be fine"

Yaena turned to face the servant. The look on Yaena's face clearly depicted deep anxiety.

"We have been separated for six years. Yeah, I hope they're okay. Just a few days, a few more"

Yaena tried to be optimistic and calm herself down. He even took a deep breath, then took it out quickly.

"Savians! How would they respond if they found out that I was getting engaged?!" Yaeena is panicking.

Savia ––name of the waiter–– smile. "You don't need to panic, miss. Maybe Prince Daendra and Prince Arion will be surprised later"

Yaena nodded slowly. "You're right, they certainly wouldn't count". He sighed, then turned to face the window.

"Arion and Daendra ... Will they make peace? Especially Daendra. Well, for sure they should be fine. What are they doing now?"

Arion lowered the branch of the tree in front of him to take a clearer peek at the opponent right before them.

Arion counts their numbers consisting of 5 Orcs and 2 Great Wolf ––Wolves who have a body size larger than ordinary wolves––

He told his friends below him. Eden and the others began to move stealthily, getting closer to the herd of enemies.

"All right" Luke replied.

As the Orcs were watching the surroundings with their red eyes, a flash of black lightning appeared above them without making any sound. The flash opened a hole which was a teleportation gate. From there came Eden who was holding his sword tightly.

Eden plunged free from there, darting down. He stared at one of the Orcs, then at the speed of light, Eden slashed one of the Orcs' backs vertically. The orc groaned in pain and soon fell to the ground, but was still alive.

The other Orcs were surprised to see Eden coming, the two wolves growling at him. Suddenly, Daendra and Neo came from the side, killing the other two Orcs. Neo had a hard time there before being helped by Daendra.

The two wolves ran and jumped towards them, wanting to pounce on the two. However, two arrows shot rapidly into the hearts of the two animals until they were sprawled on the ground and died.

"Wow, got it" Luke becomes shocked himself by his abilities.

The other two Orcs were overcome by the rest of the members. After all the opponents were defeated, Arion came to them.

Eden stood on top of the body of the Orc he had injured earlier, he took out a dagger from inside his back pocket and pointed it at the face of the Orc.

"The answer to the question correctly or not I will examine you" said Eden, the Orc showed its sharp teeth to Eden.

Arion approached after getting permission from Eden. He looked at the Orc's face.

"Say, where's Retian?" ask Arion.

"No, I'll answer you, lowly man!" yells. The Orc was about to throw his fist at Arion, but ...

"Goblit's Ring Fire"

Six huge rings of fire circled the Orc's right arm, the arm that wanted to beat Arion. The orc screamed in pain, with all his might he tried to remove the ring from his arm but could not.

"Don't you hit my brother!" daendra. Arion turned his head directly to Daendra, he was shocked to hear Daendra calling him a brother.

"Answer the question correctly!" exciting Daendra.

"Jawab only" said Eden.

"Stay ... I won't tell you!" The orc replied stubbornly. Daendra increases the heat of the ring. The orc was grimacing in pain.

Eden stepped on the head of the Orc. "Listen, I want to make it easy. You see him?" Eden pointed towards Neo. Neo was confused himself.

"He's a healer here, he'll keep healing your wounds, but you'll keep us tormented until you ask to die even if it's going to be very difficult. Do you understand?"

Eden lifted her foot off the face of the Orc.

"I won't tell you!" his yell.

Eden shook her head slowly. "Basic stubbornness". Suddenly, the Orc's body was enveloped by black flames except in the belly, where Eden stood.

The creature screamed in pain, he wriggled furiously because of the pain he was receiving. He cannot be free because Luke binds him with a magic chain.

Eden shut off the fire after burning the creature for more than 10 seconds. Arion could not bear to see it, he just turned away when the Orc was burned alive.

"Hows it? You still want to refuse?" ask Eden. Eden hinted Arion to question him again.

"That's one more time. Where is Retian and where are you hiding Rena?"

"Good! Okay, I'll tell you!"

The Orc said that Retian was on the darkest side of the forest. The sunlight could not penetrate that part of the forest, there was also a nest of Goblins and Orcs, there were also some Undead guarding there.

"There's only one such place here?" Luke.

"We're going there now" Eden came down from the Orc's body. Arion followed him, but the Orc went on a rampage and was about to attack them from behind.

Daendra and Luke are shocked, but six black flames emerge from the ground, piercing the Orc's body until his feet no longer touch the ground.

Arion looked back, he widened his eyes, shocked to see the corpse of the Orc that had just died there. He turned back to the Eden in front of him.

"Come, don't waste time" said Eden flatly, as if nothing had happened.

Without them noticing, a crow was perched on one of the tree branches. The bird was there watching them, after which the crow flew away from there.

***

Retian raised his head up. He saw a bird flying here. The bird landed on his shoulder and whispered something into Retian's ear.

Retian immediately stood up, Rena became shocked and confused to see him.

Retian tapped his staff to the ground, then black smoke emerged from the ground. The smoke gave rise to three black-robed people with masks on their faces.

"Find them and don't let any of them come" he ordered.

"Okay, Master" they answered, then they left.

Retian turned to Rena. "Your friends are on their way here but they'll never get here"

Rena looked down while closing her eyes. "Master, be careful"
