Its almost morning. The rain has stopped. Kevin reaches the mansion with others after six hours drive. He almost fell asleep in the car while driving. Erin didn't sleep a wink to keep Kevin awake for the whole time. Moreover, Julius stopped groaning after a while. His wounds were healing. But the injuries are severe. And it's going to take time for him to recover fully.
Kevin is sleeping in the car, holding the wheel. Erin gives him several pushes, but he isn't waking up. Erin yawns. Seeing Kevin in a relaxing position, it's making her sleepy too.
"Erin dear, can you come here for a bit?", Serena suddenly calls out Erin.
Erin rushes to her to know her needs. She opens the door and Serena calls her inside. Uncle Julius is sleeping peacefully. "Shush!", Serena puts her finger on her lips and warns Erin from making any sound.
Erin goes near Serena without making any sound further. "Take this key and open the door of the mansion. We will go inside when they w
Dracula Castle, Romania. A few days later after ending the war…The lords have gathered to discuss an important issue and that is “Who will be the next Count Lord?” Erin isn’t interested in it at all. She’s just happy to see Edward and others are fine. Even Ian has recovered from his injuries. So there’s no need to be getting involved furthermore after hearing the hateful words that are thrown at her. Moreover, some people don’t wish her to become their master. Erin glares at Raphael who can barely hold his grin. Uriel, the culprit behind this ruckus, is sitting beside him and grumbling about being chained. His punishment will be decided today. However, it doesn’t seem like he will be receiving the death penalty, thanks to certain someone. It doesn’t matter to Erin. Although she agrees with the fact that Uriel is the reason behind the war, she can’t shake off the feeling that her very existence is also a threat to the whole community. That’s why she has made up her mind! "My decis
-Howard’s dead! Do you realise what it means? He’s no longer with us! Will you take responsibility for him?... This! THIS WASN’T OUR FIGHT, TO BEGIN WITH! Why do we have to suffer? A man shouts in anger before he bursts into crying. Obviously, he’s frustrated as much as he’s sad about losing someone important to him. He wishes to keep complaining, but his words are getting stuck in his throat. Some comforting voices float around the air and make their way to Erin’s ears. She doesn’t know for how long she has been sleeping, but it feels like ages now that her muscles are sore. Although she can barely open her eyes, she tries to find out the owner of that angry voice. However, she fails repeatedly and gives up in the end. -Bill is right! We’re dragged into this mess when we aren’t supposed to be involved. A girl’s voice! It’s familiar and yet distant all of a sudden. Not long ago, this person was the one who stood up for Erin! Then…why is it sounding strange to her? After all, what’s
"Le..let me..GO!""Fufufu! How does it feel to get crushed on? Is it amusing?" Rowan, who is now possessed by Orus, gets closer to Erin's face which has turned red since she can't breathe. While trying her best to escape from his grip, Erin has no choice but to listen to his nonsense.Surprisingly, Rowan stops talking all of a sudden and keeps observing her before saying, "So weak! Can't think of a reason why you were chosen to bear the 'Dragon's fate'. So pitiful for someone who upholds both the power of God and the Devil. Tch!" "What's this stupid demon talking about?" Erin isn’t insane to wonder about such lousy conversation while her lifeline is about to get cut. She keeps thinking of a way to get out but finds none. Only the crazy laughter of Rowan rings in her ears as he exclaims in joy, "I'm feeling so good right now!" His grip becomes tighter than before as he sniffs Erin's neck in a swoop. "Delish!" "I sa...id...Fuck Off!" "SHHH!!!! Tch! Ahh...my ears! Can't you scream a
"Do you think they can handle it?" "You worry a lot, old man. Relax! Master can finish the enemy with one blow!" "If it was that easy, I wouldn't have worried about it." "Sheesh! It's hard to ensure you. Well, we'll see that for later. For now, I've to take you to a safe place. Otherwise, the master will kill me!" Bill runs faster towards the heart of the forest. Soon the battle ground vanishes from Julius's eyes as he looks back to monitor the situation and yet the sound of clashing swords isn't disappearing. As if the whole world is bearing witness to today's incident. Julius couldn't help it when he was forced to leave Edward's side. Rowan inflicted a heavy injury on him which almost caused him to faint due to loss of blood. The terror in Edward's eyes is unforgettable! Even his men were terrorized. Rowan was extremely powerful as if the news of him being sick was nothing but a nonsense spouted as a joke. His physical strength was surpassing the whole clan. It was nothing li
"This is getting out of hand!""We should lure them towards the open field. The training ground is narrow enough to make moving hard for us.""But what to do about this rapid fire?!" Ario shouts in irritation. He can barely block the bullets with a thin shield and yet he's trying his best. The two other men are also struggling. Erin can't blame them when she isn’t even in shape to fight anymore. Rather, she says, "I've got an idea. Let's split! One party will distract them while the other makes a run for the field."After a small pause, Ario replies with a soft nod, "Sounds great to me. I'll help you to climb.""No, wait!" Erin disrupts Ario who is about to pick her up and suggests, pointing at the two men, "Let them move before us."The two men seem bewildered. However, there's no time to spare in argument. They both agree immediately and make a long jump for the roof while Ario and Erin are backing them up. The enemies are trying to corner them more than before. Due to the lack of
"Lan! Is there any way where I can kill Orus without harming him?" "Not that it's impossible, but you’re not capable of pulling that off yet." "Meaning?" "Simple! Without the help of Mandira, you can't do it." Erin recalls her time when she was stuck in that endless world. Among those seven dragons, Mandira was the one who didn’t have any kind of supernatural power that could be seen and yet her power surpassed others. She's a dragon who uses her powers through tarot cards. It may seem funny but she has the ability to see the opposite side of her cards and pull out a suitable one. Her dragon powers are installed in those cards, so she can make wishes come true by using them. Erin had the opportunity to witness her power. Unlike Orus or other people who can manipulate someone with the help of words or other means, Mandira is unable to do that. When she learnt that her powers didn’t have any physical form, she tried the tarot cards as an easy means. Her mother was a gypsy and she u
