Chapter 65: The Darkmana Empire

“Good luck!”

Hearing her daughter’s voice, Sara’s heart trembled. She turned her eyes toward the little dullahan, looking at her with motherly love. Her beautiful blue eyes gleamed like full moons as if she was about to cry.

Her daughter was happy and not worried at all.

For a long time, it was much different. Celia had been alone in the Deathwill Castle on those missions to hunt the hungry demons.

She permanently would hide her emotions to not worry her mother. However, Sara wouldn’t be her mother if she had never noticed Celia’s sadness and loneliness. But now, things had changed significantly.

Celia had her good friend, Ubo, who would follow and play with her. However, the fact that the four of them teamed up had played much crucial role.

Seeing them all together in their battle clothing, Celia had a feeling that everyone would return in one day! Moreover, the mood before the hunt was vastly different.

Before, Schnee would complain about the enemies, then hunt and play with them for a long time. Stella would lazily move her wings alongside wind magic and silently float toward the monsters with an emotionless expression.

At last, Sara would show a fake smile. Behind that fake smile, Sara would hide her pain as she always felt sore from leaving her daughter alone.

Celia couldn’t tell all her mom’s emotions, but she saw through the fake smile. That was one of the reasons why Celia wanted to become stronger and get her epic white horse! With that creation, she would be able to assist her mother and help her!

Alas, she was too young.

But that all mattered not now.

Everyone was smiling.

Celia saw Schnee’s chuckles that left the little dullahan shocked. She even had a feeling that Stella was smiling while sniffing Alex’s hair! And most importantly, her mother was in such a good mood that her smile was just dazzling and warm!

The little dullahan could only wish everyone the best!

“Ubo! Say good luck too!” Celia lifted her wolf, who looked like a dog.

In her arms, Ubo woofed three times.

Celia commented, “Your ‘Good luck’ has more words!’

Woof! Ubo was proud, for whatever reason.

At last, everyone left the scene.

Celia could no longer see her family. She turned around and went back to her room, with Ubo following her. Here, she read some books on her own while Ubo played with the bones.

The mood in the Deathwill Castle was even merrier than usual; that was all because of little dullahan’s happiness!

Her family surely would return in one day or two! She was sure of it!

“Alex is amazing! He made everyone smile and work together!” Celia’s confidence in her big family grew as she reminisced about the person she thought of as a father.

“You can cry, big sis,” Schnee teased a little; the voice behind her words was mild and supportive.

Sara shook her head, “I’ve cried enough.”

After saying those words, Sara took a furtive glance at Alex. Without a doubt, he was the person who influenced everyone the most. Even though he was the last key to their family castle’s powers, he could’ve used his powers differently.

He could’ve taken the path to bring down the Deathwill Castle and enslave the sisters.

But he ended up the person whom Sara genuinely had taken a liking. Even though he was much younger, Sara ignored the age, allowing herself to be less strict and a little more childish as if she was around his age.

Alex looked into her eyes too. After confirming that Sara didn’t need a break, he looked around the forest and said, “We took this path before, didn’t we?”

Sara replied, “Yes. We are going to look out for Wolfen Demon.”

“That guy… This time, I will exchange a few moves with him,” Alex felt excited as he was nothing but a side character before.

All he did was just stare at the hungry demon.

Of course, their battle would be much different now. They would face Wolfen Demon as four.

Stella also wouldn’t use her Ultimate Skill as it put the heavy toil on the user’s body. She would use her healing skills responsibly, not healing her family infinitely.

Schnee added, “He might drop some useful items for our dog.”

Alex chimed in, “His name is Ubo.”

Ignoring his remark, Schnee continued, “Big sis also knows something more about this peculiar demon, right?”

As Alex turned his eyes at her, Sara nodded and replied, “Wolfen Demon should be a royal blood of Werewolf Clan.”

Since Alex planned to use his Battle Spirit skill against those hungry demons, he needed to know more about his prey.

If he lacked understanding of his enemies and failed to comprehend their battle styles during his fight against them, then his Battle Spirit would develop into trash creation.

To get those hungry demons’ spirits, Alex had to overcome two obstacles.

The first was the hungry demon’s origin. The second was the unique energy of the hungry demons that made them immortal.

Without overcoming the first obstacle, Alex wouldn’t even be able to feel and try the hungry demon’s trait.

Schnee narrowed her eyes, “Their powers are slowly returning. That’s, of course, because of Alex. If he’s from the werewolf clan, his race is just below yours, big sister.”

Sara nodded, making Alex a little curious.

He asked, “Just below?”

Sara grinned like a perfect student who was about to boast her knowledge. But in her case, she skipped her way toward Alex and directly spoke to his ear. She was like a full mark student who would pour all her talent onto her crush classmate just so that he could pass the test.

Sara began the lecture, “The Dullahan Kingdom is part of the Darkmana Empire. To enter that alliance, one must overcome a few trials. In the past, two peculiar races wanted to join the Darkmana Empire and secure the high spot just below the five leader races.

Those two races issued their entry at the same time… And they were also mortal enemies, so the Darkmana Empire gave them a simple challenge; fight.”

Alex nodded.

Sara chuckled, “Those two races are the werewolves and vampires.”
