The World Of The Venerate: Everwhite
Chapter 13 - A wise leader compared to Hefaistos
The magic circle that Silvan and Joker stepped on created an explosion, leaving the two Vampiremen instantly helpless after receiving the effects of the explosion.
Slowly Hephaestus approached, about to launch an attack to end the two of them.
Just as the attack was about to be launched, suddenly someone appeared and directly held his hand.
“Please wait for Hefaistos..” The person holding the man's hand turned out to be Artemis, who had previously disappeared after receiving the technique from Silvan.
“What are you doing?” Hefaistos asked with a serious look, wondering inwardly why the woman was holding him back to end the two Vampiremans.
“Don't kill them... I am sure that they were only told by the top brass Machora Tira,” said Artemis.
“Heh, it turns out you're still as forgiving as ever... Sorry, but I haven't changed as I used to.” either Reply Hephaistos, who seemed to have a different opinion to Artemis.
*
“If he said that, then his feelings for Artemis' brother also still have not changed as they used to.” Lucierence said inwardly, guessing something from the words of the leader of the land of Lightio.

Due to mutual disagreements, the two World Venerate then issued their force pressure simultaneously, making the place shaken.
The people around who felt intimidation from the pressure of their strength suddenly became frightened to make some of them immediately flee the place.
“Hey, please don't do this. Do you want to destroy this territory? At least the situation is safe because you are now.” No one dared to mediate their dispute, until at last Lucierence had to come forward to speak to them both.
“I wonder, why did you let this mixed race into Lightio? You know exactly what they're after?” Artemis.
“I even found out a while ago... Therefore without a second thought I directly came to this place.” Hefaistos also explained that he did not know about the arrival of the Vampireman to Lightio.
Both Artemis and Lucierence were shocked to hear the statement from the leader of the Lightio country.
“Hey, who are the Lightio people you met earlier?” Lucierence asked Silvan.
“He is one of your World Venerate, Vertorn Nomos,” Silvan replied.
“What did you say...? Vertorn Nomos.” Lucierence became even more surprised to hear the name mentioned by the Vampireman.
Likewise with Artemis, Hefaistos and Hayliver who do not believe in the question of the Vampireman.
“That mixed race, because it has gained sympathy by the citizens of the eastern region, he now dares to act as he pleases,” Hefaistos said looking annoyed.
The man named Vertorn Nomos who was talked about by them was a Giantman who was now one of the strongest Venerate Lightio. The Giantman had earlier gained the support of the citizens living in the eastern part of Lightio to replace Hefaistos as the leader of the country.
Although he came from one of the mixed-race groups and was not a witch, the citizens of the region continued to support him and believed the man that he could be a wise leader compared to Hephaistos who had made a decision that divided Lighthio.
“Mr Hefaistos, earlier I was surprised to learn that what will help us attack this region are the Vampiremans.”.
“And I also got a report that it was on your orders,” Hayliver said.
“Looks like he wants to make you dethroned from the chair of the witch president sister.” Lucierence said.
“Yeah, looks like you were right..” Response Hefaistos.
The leader of the Lightio country then approached Silvan.
“Hey, I will spare your lives if you want to cooperate with us... Do you agree?” Ask.
“Whatever it is if you do not lie, then I will agree to it,” Silvan replied.
“But, let me find my daughter first,” continued the Vampireman, pleading with Hefaistos that he might find his daughter, Lucia whom he had not seen since yesterday.
Megathirio throws the girl down in front of Silvan and the Joker.
“Lucia...” Silvan Remark.
Edana immediately came to Lucia, apparently worried about her unconscious daughter.
By looking at the circumstances around him, Megathirio seems to have known that the group that attacked the interior region seems to have been successfully handled.
The young man's gaze then turned to someone, Hephaistos who was like no stranger to him.
“You...” Say Megathirio.
“Sounds like you still know me well?” Hearing the young man speak to him, Hephaestus replied and approached him.
The man put one of his hands on Megathirio's shoulders and smiled at the young man.
Hephaestus was proud to see his son growing up. He also felt that the Venerate level of the young man was now above the District Venerate level, a level that was actually difficult to achieve when one lived isolated in the interior.
The man thought that if Megathirio had lived with him all this time, the young man would have been stronger than his current Venerate level.
“For a long time no see, you are grown now. I can feel that you have become a great wizard,” Hefaistos said.
But Megathirio suddenly brushed off the hand of Hephaestus, who was holding his shoulder, and showed a cynical face to the man who was his father.
“What are you doing here?” Megathirio asked with a serious expression.
“I came here to help your sister. After all it is the duty of ay..”.
Not yet had time to finish his words, immediately Megathirio immediately silenced the mouth of Hephaistos until the leader of the land of Lightio fell down.
This made everyone who was in the place suddenly surprised by Megathirio's actions.
“Be quiet...” Megathirio said in a whisper, unwilling to make Zchaira hear the fact that the man was their father.
“Megathirio... What are you doing?” Artemis who saw this immediately approached and pulled the young man while being assisted by Lucierence.
Artemis then extended her hand to Hephaestus to help him stand up.
Not finished there, immediately Zchaira who can move again came to them.
“It seems like there is something you want to say other than coming to help me here?” The girl asked Hephaestus out of curiosity at the words of the man whom Megathirio had stopped before.
“Zchaira, you better take a break now…” Artemis immediately stopped Zchaira by discussing about her condition which previously had not been able to move her body due to using the power of the holy creature inside her.
The girl could not say anything more and immediately left the place along with Artemis despite still being curious about the previous word Hefaistos.
Megathirio also left the place following Artemis and Zchaira.
After feeling all the problems that exist have been ransacked, Timonar told the residents assisted by members of the Bridgehunts clan to capture the Vampireman first in case that later the mixed race will not run away.

Moving to the eastern region of the land of Lightio, seen a woman walking up a hill that is not too high.
After reaching the top, it appeared that a man with a height of more than two and a half meters was standing staring at the sea that was in front of him.
“It turns out you are here, Mr. Vertorn,” said the woman, calling the man by the name of Vertorn.
