The Last Whiteblood's

Back To Family

the Egrit Village

This small village, the birthplace of Rena was destroyed by the attacks of giant beasts that are known in the world as Cremon, which comes from an organization ******* demi-human Race, Ethinos.

The citizens who had become corpses, were scattered in the streets with bodies covered in blood and destroyed, and were not worth seeing anymore.

The state of the village has been destroyed, the village has just felt the peace of the last few years. Now, whatever was there was already flattened to the ground.

"Find the one who can give us a clue, if there isn't one, finish it off quickly!" faesa's orders.

The girl's voice echoed in the sky of the village, making the surviving villagers goosebumps in fear. They could only pray and hope that this disaster would end quickly.

Ethinos' members are spreading. Faesa was still standing on the ground with both feet. He stood upright with a cold gaze, both arms he clenched on his chest while grunting softly.

Fieyni approached him from behind, and Fieyni's vision to Faesa was only a frown that had no light.

"What do we get from this village?" ask Fieyni.

Faesa did not answer immediately, he took out a sword from the sheath from which he did not remove it.

"This village was originally a Retian powerhouse, a place this small can be a gold mine for us" he replied.

Not long after, two of his members came over carrying a man in broken armor on the shoulders of one of them. The man was thrown before Faesa, he was still alive and it could be seen from the up and down movement of his chest.

"This person claims to be the Village Chief's son here" one of them reported.

Faesa. He sat crouching, then grabbed Mike's hair up, so he could see the battered young man's face clearly.

"You're still conscious?" ask Faesa, flat.

Mike gasped for breath, he was already too exhausted from receiving the pain from Ethinos.

"If you are still conscious, answer my question carefully, if you still want to live" Faesa calmly threatened. "Say, what do you know about Retian?"

"Retians..." Mike opened his hoarse voice. "He was gone three years ago from here"

"Why?" ask Faesa again.

"Arion did it.."

Faesa smiled obliquely. "Truely, this village was once where he conducted his exams" he murmured.

"Then?" Faesa wanted to ask for more info, but Mike shook his head because he already had no more information about the Necromancer.

"Awh, is that all you can give me?" Faesa put on a fake mother's gaze. "It's a shame.."

Faesa prepares to stab Mike with his sword. Suddenly, Faesa felt something from behind him. He immediately stood up and slashed his sword into the air, where he clashed with a big mace, until his sword slipped out of his grasp.

Fieyni directly dodged from there. Faesa stared for a moment at the sword that had been stuck on the ground, he turned to the perpetrator who made him have to release the sword. That person was a tall man with a stocky body full of muscles. Her porcupine hair twitched in the wind, and her calm expression seemed unafraid of Faesa.

The man jumped a few meters back to find safety. He held up the unconscious Mike on his shoulders.

"You.." Faesa lowered his head slightly with a fixed sharp look towards that person.

"You're Faesa" his dashing baritone voice boomed through the air. "I'm so surprised to see you here, let alone." he smiled for a moment. "Even if you're with Ethinos"

"Glenn" Faesa raised one of his eyebrows. "I didn't expect to see you here"

Glenn raised his hammer, and he put it on his big shoulder. "What happened to you, huh? Why did you turn into an adorable little devil?"

"It's none of your business, Glenn. After all, you don't care about me either" Faesa replied.

"Hmm, you're right too. But, anyway, we remain one alumni. We go to school together, we have a class together" Glenn said.

He took Mike off his shoulder, then refocused his attention on Faesa.

Glenn threw his drum into the air, sparks spewing out from the mace before enveloping the huge golden mace. The fire began to form itself into a large muzzle.

"Because you're on the other side, I'm forced to beat you up here" Glenn recaptured his booth which had become bigger because it was a fire shaped like a crocodile's head.

"Dad." Arion's mouth gaped and his eyes widened, looking at Hanza's figure in front of him.

Caith's body disappeared because her energy was exhausted and had to be restored. Klein set his foot back on the ground, standing between Arion, Elena and Hanza and Kenneth.

Klein snorted cynically, he again sheathed his sword. He knew what kind of situation he might be facing right now. One against four? Klein could still handle it, but he had to come out victorious with quite serious injuries.

Klein considered his life and mission at this time. He glanced at Arion, assigned to capture Whiteblood alive, but in this condition it would not have been possible.

"Pretty lucky, Whiteblood. You have three people here, you're lucky. In this way, the time of your arrest is delayed!" exclaim Klein.

He looked at Hanza. "Take care of yourself, Whiteblood" after that, Klein disappeared from before all of them.

"He's gone" Kenneth murmured.

Elena was a little pensive after Klein disappeared earlier, she suddenly became wary of Hanza. He lifted both his daggers in front of his body.

"Who is he?" ask Elena.

Kenneth got off his horse. He knew who this person standing behind him was after Klein deliberately revealed Hanza's identity to them.

Seeing Elena preparing to fight again, Kenneth hinted at the girl to lower her weapon.

Arion stepped slowly towards Hanza and stopped not far from him. They looked at each other in silence.

"You're a big boy, kid. It's nice to see you again" Hanza said.

Arion's lips twitched and his eyes glazed over. Arion's feeling of meeting Hanza really made him weak, how not? The one who had saved him first came back to save him again.

Hanza is indeed a person who according to Arion is a meaningful figure in his life.

Tears flowed down her cheeks up to her chin and finally dripped onto the ground. Arion cried in silence while biting his lips.

"Sorry" said Arion. "I'm. sorry"

Hanza shook his head slowly, he walked over to Arion. Hanza held Arion's shoulders up and down in sobbing tears.

"You don't have to apologize, it's my choice, son. I'm the one who should be apologizing, because of me you're a fugitive" Hanza said. He stroked Arion's head.

"Arion, although you are not my biological son, I consider you to be. I will neither throw you away nor hate you. I never took revenge on you"

"B-but. because of me.. Aya

h abdicated from the throne and exiled" Arion straightened his head to stare at Hanza's face.

"Who cares about that empty chair? Many people can make it" Hanza laughed crisply. "Forget that little kingdom, we can make new and stronger ones"

"Dad, I want to see Daendra" said Arion, in a serious tone.

- Athiesh Kingdom

A small kingdom surrounded by a large lake. This kingdom is not a poor kingdom, they have a large enough economy with the income of those who import goods out of the kingdom.

Athiesh Kingdom is known as the most successful importer of goods, they have goods whose selling value is quite high and rarely in large markets in the Eastern Continent.

The inhabitants live quite prosperous and well off. Only one factor that affects these kingdoms as weak kingdoms, is that they are lacking in the military. It was reinforced by Elena's words about this kingdom as a subscription to steal it.

They're entering the city. Elena had to mount one with Kenneth, because she didn't want her Hell Beast to be killed here. Arion and Hanza were in front of them.

"I want to ask you something" Elena said suddenly.

"Hm?" kenneth from the front.

"It's about our meeting yesterday. Why are you so angry?" ask Elena.

Kenneth recalled.

'Kenneth's ears are heating up and his chest is tight. He gripped his glass until it broke, making Arion surprised and immediately turned to him.

"Ken, what-"

"Stop making small talk, I know what you mean!" Kenneth immediately stood up, staring sinisterly at Elena.

Meanwhile, Elena was calm. He put his cup back on the table. "I don't understand what you're saying" he said.

"Don't act like that! You purposely lost our horses so that you could blackmail us and rob us of all our possessions! Right, right?!" kenneth's anger is mounting.

"Kenneth!" Arion grabbed Kenneth's arm, but the man immediately brushed him off.

"Arion, don't defend this woman, she's a Thief and I've never believed in the Thief, never will!" Kenneth stepped out of the house, then slammed the door hard.'

"Oh.." Kenneth looked down for a moment. "Because I hate the Thieves"

"Why?" ask Elena again.

"My father was killed by them"

Elena's breath was restrained hearing Kenneth's reply. "I'm so sorry" he said.

"I should apologize to you, because I was being rude" Kenneth turned his head back through the shoulder.

Elena patted Kenneth on the back. "Ah, it's okay, I didn't put your words into my heart"

"Eh, why?" ask Kenneth astonished.

"Because you're stupid" Elena answered flatly while looking at the lake.

"What?! How dare you!" kenneth's screams are upset.

Arion glanced at them from the front. Hanza turned her head for a moment to Arion, then looked back to the front.

"At least, I'm grateful you're not alone" Hanza said. Arion turned his face to Hanza.

"Yes." answered Arion briefly.

They entered the market area. Elena's eyes twinkled looking at the entire item that had a high price.

"Stop staring like that" said Kenneth who made him shocked. "You'll be suspected"

The four of them exited the market towards the deserted area. This area will be a little community, because the land expansion has not reached this area. Only a few people or groups occupy.

The area is a grassland that borders directly with the lip of the lake. There are some livestock such as horses and cows that are eating there. Then, there is a simple house with a back yard that is a garden and garden. Beside the house, there are horse carriages and carts that transport various goods ready to sell.

Not far from home, there are rice barns and cattle pens filled with dozens of cows. A girl had just come out of the cattle pen carrying two buckets full of cow's milk. He looked at the four people who were heading towards him.

"He is." said Arion.

"Yes, it's Rena. She was already Daendra's fiancee" Hanza laughed crisply again.

Arion is happy. He smiled looking at Rena who was still standing there.

"Do people know who Rena really is?" ask Arion.

"No, he's still a secret" Hanza replied.

The four of them had already arrived at the new Hanza residence. Rena welcomed their arrival, she was a little confused by the three strangers Hanza had brought.

"Dad, you're home? Where the hell is it?" asked Rena while carrying Hanza's little bag.

"Ah, I just picked up those who were a little bit in trouble earlier, but that problem can be solved" Hanza replied.

"Oh, so.." Rena nodded in understanding. "Then, who are they?" ask Rena.

Arion was a little hit. He did not expect Rena would forget him.

"He's Arion" Hanza raised her eyebrows while pointing towards Arion.

"Arion?" Rena tried to recall. "Oh?! Arion!" screaming, shocked.

Elena and Kenneth were surprised, even they almost jumped back. Arion put on a look of shock.

Rena bowed and apologized many times. Arion awkwardly asked him to stop.

"That's it, brother." said Arion.

Rena immediately stopped, not because of Arion's request, but the man called her 'Sister'

"Did you call me by name.. 'Sister'?" ask Rena.

"Yes, my brother is already Daendra's fiancee. That's why I should call you that" replied Arion.

"Oh.." Rena's mouth formed the letter O, then she screamed again. "Where do you know?!"

"Dad" Arion pointed towards Hanza.

Shamed and blushing, Rena had no choice but to cover her face with the little bag of Hanza she was holding.

Hanza shook her head slowly seeing the behavior of this prospective daughter-in-law. "Of course, let's go in. It's gonna be afternoon soon"
