Geniellas lips twitched at the question from Kim Jonghyun. In the eyes of Kim Jonghyun, Geniella still didnt look too slighted by his question.
However, Kim Jonghyun couldnt believe what his eyes were telling him, he knew that much. Geniella was always a fickle person.
Although she was not impulsive, Kim Jonghyun was not confident that he could predict every emotions in Geniellas brain.
The Dragons.
Geniellas mouth opened.
She squinted at Kim Jonghyun with her eyes that could see through everything.
For vampires, to see was done not only with the eyes.
Especially for the Vampire Queen, the bloodthirsty Geniella, who had reached the apex of all Vampires.
Geniella had three powerful hidden powers, from what Kim Jonghyun could tell. He wasnt exactly to sure what they were, but he had so guesses.
All he knew about her was that she could see through everything.
You realize what youre saying is ridiculous, right?
Yes.
When Geniella smirked and asked the question, Kim Jonhyun nodded his head without bluffing or holding anything back from her.
Geniella had a relationship with the Dragons. In fact, there was no evidence of that for Kim Jonghyun to suddenly ask her about it.
Why dont you tell the truth?
Geniella did not reveal her intentions of murdering him just quite yet.
However, Kim Jonghyun was already preparing for such a situation in his mind. But she ended up answering his question.
I dont think there are many things in the world that can hold them back. At first, I thought a god might. Though I may have thought so since they are called gods, they cant actually exert much power in this world if you look at it simply by force when referring to the Gods power and influence. Those who are called gods are actually even weaker than based on their restrictions.
Thats right.
Geniella smiled and nodded her head as Kim Jonghyun agreed with her. She then continued to speak.
Leaving aside the question of whether I can kill a god or not, their power is not a big threat to . Theyre not even in a position to manipulate their powers.
Then only the Dragons are left.
You pretend to be smart, even though you dont know anything. Just like a true wizard.
Geniella spoke sarcastically and slowly raised her body up. Kim Jonghyun imdiately reached for Grimoire when Geniella moved. The dark-colored leather book floated up into the air.
Dont be so scared.
Geniella spoke as she smiled creepily, showing her canines to Kim Jonghyun. Her white fangs accentuated her blood-red eyes that were symbolic to vampires.
I dont want to kill you. Your question was rude, but it wasnt sothing I wouldnt kill you over. Dragons Dragons. Do you believe those cowards who left this world from the fear of their own deaths are in a position to force down in Travia?
what do you an by that?
Kim Jonghyun shuddered at Geniellas ridicule.Shhhh.Geniella brought her index finger to her lips with her fingers, showing a hint of playfulness.
Did he say anything to you? Id be very disappointed if I heard that Volander was the one to tell you such things.
Volander, the King of the Death Knights, was wandering the sea with his own army of multiple Death Knights.
He left in search of the Dragons, which had disappeared, and nobody had a clue to their whereabouts. Though, the Dragons were last seen in the sea, hence why Volander had been wandering aimlessly atop a Ghost Ship.
She knows the whereabouts of the Dragons.
Why had such powerful people been silent in the North for so many years?
Kim Jonghyun naturally had many questions about it.
Naturally, he thought there might be soone restricted on her movents, and he thought it might be the Dragons who were putting restrictions on her, since he couldnt think of anyone else powerful enough to tie her down like she had been.
However, according to Geniella, it appeared that the Dragons did not impose any sort of restrictions on her movents. But if not them, nor the 3 Absolutes, then who could?
What could be holding onto such a powerful Vampire like Geniella? What was the reason for her suddenly starting to make administrative moves after decades of silence?
People speculated that the Vampire Queen was reigning free in Travia due to rumors of her forr master dying there, and she was staying out of attachnt. But those rumors were not true.
What do you an they left this world because of fear of death? Do you an the Dragons ascended to a higher realm because they feared sothing here? What do you an by all of this.?
The Dragons ran away.
Erebrisa.
Kim Jonghyun mumbled. The words made Geniella burst into laughter.
Erebrisas purpose is to control, or support variables. Variables are the worlds- in this case, its the variable of fate. I know that much. Ive thought there was a Dragon managing that broker guild from the shadows. They use space travel in a way that defies common sense, which I can only assu Dragons are capable of, in which it seems Im wrong though since you said the Dragons have already left.
It is true that the Dragons created Erebrisa.
Geniella replied to Kim Jonghyuns rambling, confirming Erebrisas existence, and continued to speak.
Its a huge magic system that the Dragons have left for this world.
What is certain is that there are no more Dragons in this world. And that ans youre not being pressed to stay here because of themI still have questions. Why are you now resuming your activities after hundreds of years of inactivity?
The ti is coming.
Geniella replied with an alluring smile.Little by little.Kim Jonghyun felt that he was slowly approaching the identity of Geniellas secret.
Are you saying the end is coming?
It was always coming.
Are you waiting for it?
There need to be sacrifices for him to co.
Geniella murmured. The Predator of Massacre. The apocalyptic being that was only rumored of and told in stories. It was an absolute predator that would end all of humanity.
Kim Jonghyun frowned at the words. In Kim Jonghyuns view, the closest monster to the Predator of Massacre was none other than Geniella, who was in front of him.
As a vampire, Geniella accumulated power simply by drinking blood. She had to be the closest being to fit the description.. Or it could be Lee Sungmin and/or that other child with a black heart.
The Predator of Massacre is a symbol of the end of humanity. Call it rumors or superstition, but its not; its a monster thats bound to appear soday.
You sound as if you know the future.
The future changes a lot depending on the variables of fate. Dont put the words know the future in your mouth so easily. Thats incredibly arrogant.
But you.
I dont know everything. My eyes see only a fragnt of the future thats mixed up with the myriad of variables.
Through the words, Kim Jonghyun was able to vaguely notice what one of the ans of power Geniella had.
Peering into bits of the future. Kim Jonghyun was sure that it was one of Geniellas three hidden powers.
I see.
Kim Jonghyun nodded his head.
Youve seen the future where the Predator of Massacre erges and slaughters humanity. You were just waiting for it to happen.
Thats right.
Geniella nodded her head with a grueso smile. She did nothing but stand still and look directly at Kim Jonghyun.
Kim Jonghyun, however, felt suffocated and his blood was boiling as soon as he looked at her. Kim Jonghyun chewed his lips and extended his hand toward Grimoire.
I dont kill you in the future I saw. The future I want to reach does not have you dead.
Yes, maam.
At the words of Geniella, Kim Jonghyun nodded quickly. It was a misjudgnt on his part. He had beco overconfident in his own powers since becoming a half-devil.
Geniella was right. Kim Jonghyun showed off his power too much and didnt even properly asure the level of Geniella, the strongest monster right now in existence.
At least one arm. Kim Jonghyun didnt want to risk an arm as collateral.
I apologize for the rudeness.
Whatever.
When Kim Jonghyun realized their difference, he bowed his head in respect. Seeing this, Geniella withdrew a part of the hideous and monstrous power she had only slightly revealed to him.
The Magic of Reversion.
Kim Jonghyun, who stepped back, heard Geniellas voice. She was staring out the window as if she was no longer interested in Kim Jonghyun.
Although you are no longer able to use that magic, you can use it on others.
If there are enough sacrifices.
No matter what you ask for, if you really need them, there are plenty of people who want to fulfill that request. Now that you are a half-devil, Im sure there will be many people groveling to your feet and even revering your existence.
I know.
Geniella turned around and left Kim Jonghyun in the room after she spoke. Kim Jonghyun gathered his thoughts and prepared himself to leave Travia.
There are no Dragons in the world anymore.
Geniellas words were certainly true. That ant that Volander and the wandering Death Knights would never be able to save themselves from their own curse.
However, Kim Jonghyun had the ans to undo that curse for them through the power of the Grimoire and his newfound knowledge with the arcane language of Demons, since becoming a half-devil.
Is this part of the future youve seen?
Thats probably why she didnt kill him. Kim Jonghyun wanted to hear what the end of the future would be Kim Jonghyun swallowed his regret and opened the closed door and went outside.

I thought you were dead.
Kang Seok sat in front of the bonfire and dug into his food.
After fighting Jehu in the forest of Edor, he had left the area and wandered around aimlessly for Lee Sungmin.
He would have to et with Lee Sungmin and have their promised duel, but he was no longer in a hurry.
Jehu protested to the Divine Maiden and Musin that he almost died because of Kang Seok, but that did not change Kang Seoks position within Beyond the Heavens as one of the Six Divinities.
Kang Seok, as the Spear King, was itching to find a worthy opponent. He imdiately thought of that brutish monster that had appeared in the Forest and attacked Jehu.
If Jehu had succeeded in escaping against that monster, it was clear to Kang Seok that Jehu was holding back a lot of his power when fighting against Kang Seok, since that monster was sothing even Kang Seok was unsure of defeating.
Its important to keep our numbers of capable fighters secure right now.
Recently, Kang Seok had found out from the Divine Maiden that An Zun had died.
An Zun Kang Seok felt tight-lipped and his tongue-tied. Aside from his martial arts that were secretive and sly, An Zun was not a man that Kang Seok hated. He only disliked the fact that An Zun was blindly devoted to Musin, who was an individual that Kang Seok found rather suspicious.
There was no separate order for .
Thanks to there being no new orders from Beyond the Heavens, Kang Seok decided to do what he originally wanted to do.
The Divine Maiden said that it was Lee Sungmin that killed An Zun. Kang Seok had no intention of avenging An Zun. Rather, Kang Seok was actually interested in the story of An Zuns death.
Aside from Qian Zun, who couldnt move due to the curse, both Guan Zun and An Zun had died to Lee Sungmin, the Ghost Spear in their optimal conditions. Kang Seok grinned.
Maybe I can go and et him now.
He had no intention of hurrying this ti. He was going to relax and lets fight in optimal condition at any ti. Kang Seok was going to go all the way to Hadras, where the Sama Order was. Lee Sungmin was definitely there.
Maybe I can even fight with Sima Ryunju.
Kang Seok had high expectations in his heart.(T/N : This guy is such a suicidal idiot, but I love him lmao.)

Ehhehehhehe.
Lloyd looked at the Blue Tower Master, which had collapsed with a silly look on his face. He was sitting helplessly on the floor, drooling, blinking his vacant eyes.
Near the Blue Tower Master, a tall man was searching the place drawer by drawer with an irritated face.
Do I have to use this rough and ridiculous thod?
Lloyd asked cautiously. At the question, the Leader of the Wizard Guild turned his head and looked at Lloyd.
He wasnt going to just give it to you unconditionally, so I had to play around with his mories a bit.
I think hes already gone crazy though..
He didnt turn retarded. I rely distorted his mory, and if ti goes by, it will go back the way it was. Of course, with distorted mories.
How long does it take for him to regain them?
Well, maybe a week or so. But for that week, hell have to be a complete moron.
If he regains his mories, are you sure hell not rember that weve been here or find out that sothing weird happened?
You dont have to worry about that. Ive set up the distortion in his mories to plant a mory of him ssing up a potion and causing him to turn like that for the week.
The Leader of the Wizard Guild answered without any hesitation. Lloyd still had an uneasy expression though.
Abel, the sworn brother of Envirus, who was Lloyds teacher, The Leader of the Wizard Guild. He was a completely different persona than Lloyd had expected.
He was not as serious as his teacher was, nor did he discriminate between morals and ans of purpose.
I found it.
Abel exclaid in a cheerful voice. He took out a bottle containing a potion of sorts hidden deep in the drawer.
Is that what it is? The Dragons.
Although the purity is low. It is the only serum in the world right now. The Blue Tower Master must have had a hard ti.
The blood received from Lee Sungmin was created into a serum purified by mixing arcane spells and alchemy, which the Blue Tower Master had studied all his life. Abel grinned down at it.
Then he put it in his robe sleeves without hesitation.
Dont you feel sorry for the Blue Tower Master?
He wont rember that he even received the blood of a Dragon.
No matter how much you distort his mories.
This is just what dirtying your hands looks like when youre forced to.
Abel put on the robe he had taken off, as he spoke
My stupid brother who taught you seems to be very strict with manners and morals. Not .
Khhmm.
Listening to Abel, who called his teacher a fool, Lloyd gave a fake cough.
Lets go.
Abel approached the open window. As he did when he first broke into the area, he was about to leave through the window again.
But Im glad Hadras isnt too far from here.
Abel laughed as he put his foot on the window fra.
It was not long before Lee Sungmin finally returned to Hadras.
