The Villain's Story

The orders were relayed with quick efficiency, And soon enough all of Twilight's forces in Askolt city were mobilized. Even the ones that were guarding dungeons and raiding them were called.

They had to leave their important duties due to the emergency call. Nonetheless, with such a huge commotion it was impossible to contain the issue.

The other guilds were notified, and as soon as Twilight's hunters entered the room where the portal was located in...they all knew.

That twilight was hiding a portal. It was unknown who leaked it at the moment, but Twilight's Elders had to deal with a swarm of people outside. The hunters entered the portal under the orders of their superiors and were transported into Giganta.

They had mixed reactions, most were of shock. Very soon, before an hour could pass they all received a mission on their communicators. They all looked at it with shock.

It was a mission to hunt down David Umber, and also to save the star of their guild. They were given directions to the location, and an advance party had already been sent by Richard to escort them to the north.

Soon, It wasn't just the hunters, Vehicles branded b Twilight's mark appeared as well and the confused hunters boarded them. The older veterans had realized the severity of this situation while the younger ones were still bordering on the line of acceptance and confusion, and wonder at the sights of the Planet.

"We...are really on another planet?"

"Hold on...David Umber, isn't that the bloodline freak?"

"Didn't he die?"

The veterans knew of the man they were ordered to hunt down and had grave expressions on their faces. The younger hunters knew less.

But the information they needed was transferred to them soon enough, their communicators shone with a blue light and displays appeared, which had his face and his details.

He wasn't well known, but he wasn't a nobody as well. The bigshots knew of him well whilst the common populace had forgotten about it.

David Umber, The Bloodline freak was a supposed dead individual who had died in the coast of Africa. He was a deranged maniac who was obsessed with studying bloodlines and absorbing them. He was the bane of all who possessed a bloodline back in the day due to his unique skill, Blood Absorption.

The skill, not only gave him a large degree of control with blood, but also allowed him to steal the essence of others bloodlines and absorb them. He had abused this power and was hunted down. He later joined hands with the demons and did experiments on human and monster subjects alike, even Demons weren't free.

A large scale assault was lead by Twilight, who had suffered dearly at his hands and they thought they had succeeded. He was brutal, and had killed many but Twilights forces at that time...Bombed his place of hiding.

They were in a deadlock for a while against his monster army, but even with the defensive spells he had set up, the bombs got to him.

Of course, They searched the entire place afterwards, and found nothing of him remaining, The decade of silence afterwards led them to think he was dead, blown to smithereens.

Twilight also had another grudge against him, He...had captured Richard's wife and Alice's mother. She was saved but her ability to wield mana was gone forever, and it was suspected the experiments he performed on her led to a gradual weakening of her physical body. It was because of this that...she died whilst giving birth to Alice.

It may be a wrong conclusion, but Richard was struck with grief at the tand only had him to blame. That was the special grudge he held.

Now, when he saw the man alive... The rage he had suppressed in his heart was lit aflame.

The small army that was Twilights forces in Askolt city, the place where it's headquarters were advanced with haste, It was an impressive sight to see countless battle-oriented vehicles and aircraft making their way towards the mountains.

This was only the first wave as well, This was only what Twilight could immediately get...The forces of the Wellington family were coming as well, as well as Twilight's remaining force.

All of it to take down a city could be considered overkill, but Richard wasn't in the mood to think things through, Logan had just called all able hunters of the Wellington family in the area, along with sother artifacts that he thought would be useful.

Soon enough, they approached Richards group and took positions, all while the man they had to hunt stared down at them from the city they couldn't see.

"Wow, He's important."

He had a nonchalant attitude to this situation as he stared down at the small army, he was using mana to peer through the clouds, and after observing the enemy, he sighed and said.

"Well, Guess I have to be quick about it."

He said, as countless deformed giants appeared around him, filling up the walls of the giant city.

"Well, A dragon is a dragon...I will have to exercise more caution."

He went back inside the city, to the room where Alan was held while his own personal army took up their positions.

It all happened within a day, but to Alan it felt like multiple days. He was so weak and deprived of basic necessities that tappeared to move differently for him, or that's what he thought at least.

His perception was being messed with, and it all lay due to his mana being sucked away. David had connected multiple pipes to his body and the dragon heart he possessed long ago, which slowly sucked his mana and powered up the city's ancient artifacts.

He was suffering, his body desperately needed mana but there was none. A dragon without mana...was a dead dragon.
