The wind descended from the sky.
It blew the trees to sway and the houses to tilt.
It blew so that people couldn't open their eyes.
The people of Inner Bay, unlike the South Los people, enjoy more favorable weather conditions, with distinct seasons but without scorching heat, harsh winters, or the strong winds that make it hard for people to stand.
So, for most of the Inner Bay people, this was their first ti experiencing a windstorm.
Unprepared, those already teetering simply fell to the ground.
And after falling, lying on their backs, they finally saw the source of the wind—
"Bat, bat!"
In stuttering cries, everyone lifted their heads.
Then...
Hiss!
mbers of the Seven Major Families and the Golden Lion Family inhaled sharply.
Bat!
A gigantic bat with a wingspan of 10 ters!
They had never seen such a large bat!
However,
They had heard of it!
The 'Blood Bat' of the 'Bloodline Clan'!
With the dispersal of the 'Bloodline Clan', the 'Blood Bat' vanished from the annals of history, but with the ergence of the 'Blood Descendants', the 'Blood Bat' reappeared.
And now, the 'Blood Bat' was here.
So where was that 'Blood Descendant'?
They wondered in their hearts.
The 'Blood Bat' slightly lowered its altitude, allowing everyone to clearly see a man standing on its back—even though he was cloaked entirely in a black hooded cape, the blood-red eyes beneath the hood sent shivers down spines, leaving no doubt about who he was.
'Blood Descendant' Auburn.
Many scread in terror at the sight of those blood-red eyes.
More people held their breath, focused.
They were all speculating why the 'Blood Descendant' had co to Inner Bay.
What was he here for?
The four Entrants of the Seven Major Families and the Golden Lion Family who had just stepped forward unobtrusively lted back into the shadows.
Because they saw the gaze of the 'Blood Descendant' fall upon Baro Hamlet.
'He's here for Baro?
Baro provoked this 'Blood Descendant'?
This is excellent!
The rumored 'Blood Descendant' is powerful!
I wonder if he can withstand Baro!'
These four Entrants thought, and a schadenfreude smile crept up their lips.
Even Baro, whose head was clouded with anger, felt a surge of doubt when he saw the gaze of the 'Blood Descendant'. Had he offended him?
Or had one of his subordinates offended him?
Probably not?
Baro pondered.
The 'Blood Descendant' spoke.
"Hand over Potterman!"
The voice was cold, yet indisputable.
But the people present were unfamiliar with this na.
Most of them had no idea who this so-called 'Potterman' was.
Except for the two Entrants of the Golden Lion Family and…
Baro Hamlet.
This Lord Baro originally didn't know who 'Potterman' was, but because of his brother and Gleisa, he beca aware of the 'Death Poetry Society'. Out of curiosity, he also learned about the 'Death Poetry Society', not just its na but also so of its activities, and furthermore, he knew Potterman held the position of 'Left Cantor'.
But what did this have to do with him?
The 'Death Poetry Society' was not his vassal.
"He has nothing to do with !"
Baro shook his head.
This was honestly spoken, and Baro believed he was giving the other party appropriate respect.
However, the 'Blood Descendant' let out a cold laugh.
"Heh."
Just a slight laugh, yet it spoke more than a thousand words.
The implication that you are a fool trying to treat as a fool beca evident.
Instantly, anger clouded Baro's judgnt once more.
He growled—
"Are you insulting ?
Do you want to die?"
As he spoke, a creature resembling a golden-haired rat, which had been standing behind Baro, let out a sharp, screeching sound into the starry sky. The sound was piercing and carried waves of concentric ripples directly towards the 'Blood Descendant'.
Everyone began to look at Baro with skeptical eyes.
Because, at this mont, Baro seed just like soone outraged after being exposed.
'Damn it, Baro is also dealing with the 'Death Poetry Society'!
The two Entrants of the Golden Lion Family roared in their hearts.
As Baro revealed his Ascend Step strength, the two realized the original plan had now deviated because, after Dieudonne's death, such deviation beca irretrievable. With the appearance of the 'Blood Descendant' and the ntion of 'Potterman', they felt cold sweat breaking out on their backs.
Only now did they realize that they had truly underestimated Baro… No, not underestimated.
It was that Baro had disguised himself too well!
They were all deceived!
What Baro wanted was probably not just the Inner Bay's simplicity!
This scoundrel had been weaving an invisible net for who knows how long.
They, people from other families, and those participating in this parade were all caught in this net.
Perhaps, even their family head, that Old Lion, was entangled in this net.
The more they thought, the more alard and angry they beca.
The more they thought, the more fearful they grew.
The two mbers of the Golden Lion Family exchanged a glance and saw panic in each other's eyes; they believed they must do sothing.
But before they could decide what to do, the 'Blood Bat' opened its mouth and roared—
The roar was silent.
Ripples suddenly surged.
More concentrated sound waves than from the golden-haired rat monster descended from above.
The mont the two sets of ripples collided, there was a silent explosion.
It wasn't that the explosion was silent.
Rather, the explosion exceeded the maximum decibels the human ear could endure.
Silence.
The vision blurred.
Then—
Buzz!
Amidst a long buzzing sound, the vision gradually cleared, and then…
Crimson!
The crimson that filled the sight ca from the 'Blood Descendant's scarlet hue.
Under the blood-colored sky, becoming deeper in the starry sky, stood a scarlet figure on the first step of the stairway from top to bottom.
Even if it was just one step, it was a world of difference.
The overwhelming presence unique to the 'Bloodline Clan' hunters made everyone present tremble.
Ascend Step!
The 'Blood Descendant' was also an Ascend Steper!
Everyone present felt their scalps tingle.
They never thought they would witness two Ascend Steppers in one day.
Baro Hamlet being an Ascend Steper was unexpected.
The 'Blood Descendant' also being an Ascend Steper was even more unexpected.
This unexpected twist left everyone speechless and added chaos to their hearts.
They did not know what to do.
Even Baro Hamlet was surprised as he looked at the 'Blood Descendant'.
However, Lord Baro, in his rage, was ready to fight the 'Blood Descendant'.
He intended to quell his anger with the other's fresh blood.
But at that mont, the 'Blood Descendant' on the bat's back shifted his gaze to a spot on the street.
A cold voice followed—
"Found you!"
